Home to thousands of star systems and an array of stunning biomes, the Inner Sphere is alive with activity, purpose, consequence, and variety. It’s dangerous work but that’s why you’re here, right? If you’ve got an itch to blast, wreck, stomp and go all out ballistic, step inside and become your own weapon of war!Īs the inheritor of a once-prominent Mercenary company, reborn in the flames of its near destruction at the hands of conspiring factions, your quest for glory and revenge will stretch light-years as you chase threads of interstellar intrigue along your journey to becoming an elite MechWarrior and mercenary commander. In the midst of these Succession Wars, power hungry Mercenaries like yourself are in a privileged position to capitalize big time.

Pandemic is tentatively set on a fall 2007 release.Welcome to the year 3015! It’s a hell of a time to be alive.

They were both in mind when we were writing the text, so we didn't want to create a PS3 engine, which was and has been, and is, our lead SKU, but we didn't want to ignore the Xbox 360. So, yes, both will have cooperative multiplayer - online cooperative multiplayer," confirmed Zamkoff, adding, "We started from scratch to program for the multiprocessors on both machines. "We have no intention to provide one feature for one system that the other one doesn't have.

The big addition to Mercs 2 is online co-op, which will be nixed from the PS2 version, but intact on PS3.
They are using the Mercs 1 core engine and toolchain, coupled with modified Mercs 2 assets to create the Mercs 2 PS2 version." We're working extremely closely with Pi studios. "For the PS2 we are taking a different tact. There will be small visual differences on those consoles due to platform specific texture compression algorithms and other platform-specific graphics implementation, but to the end-user the game experience will be nearly identical," explained Zamkoff. We are shooting for true feature parity on the PS3, 360, and PC. Rumblings, reports, and recordings were the evidence leading up to today's confession: Mercs 2 is on Xbox 360 - and oh, by the way, PC and PlayStation 2.
Why was it such a big secret? That's about the only question Pandemic senior producer Jonathan Zamkoff wasn't asked in a lengthy Mercenaries 2 tell-all hosted by IGN.
