@Theisrb2000 it's a bug that happens to all copies now since EA must've changed something with their servers, the fix is simple though, either play it offline, or play another game which has to connect to the EA servers. Most people on xbox just download the Army of Two demo to do this and its worked for me.
There will be no message but if you get way to far apart then both your screens will start to get fuzzy which tells you that you are to far apart. You dont HAVE to go back to your partner if you dont want to though.
This game is actually a lot of fun, but whoever was in charge of QA did an AWFUL job. Mercs2 had a TON of glitches, especially with the co-op feature. There were times when the game would refuse to allow me to join my friends game or vice versa and the only way to fix it was for one of us to reset our PS3 and start the game up again. The story wasn't the greatest but co-op open world destruction was awesome. Too bad getting the damn game to work properly could be such a headache at times.
I still play this game its all i played when PSN was down...co-op is alot of fun, but i dont like the fact that my friend has to stay in the red circle with me and that you lose money for killing civilians...its a mistake...some times (=<
they said they will never say no to the player.....so can you make it so i can be on one side of the map while my friend is on the other side....whats that....NO!? but you said you would say no.
@Backtracer1 Haha i love how when there doin the jet pilot mission when they have captured the bunker busters, they arrive at the island where they winch the tank they have unlimited helicopter rockets ;)
@ShreddinStrings Co-op means you need internet connection ;) Unfortunately Split-screen ( two controllers on same console) isn't enabled for this game :(
@MrKiller1298 download the army of two demo (make sure its the first game) and just accept the online EA agreement and then you will be fine worked for me
When I want to play mercs 2 and im connected to xboxlive it freezes and have to get out of xboxlive and play tthe game and then connect back to xboxlive,unfortunly i cant play co-op any way.EA should fix it.
awesome game just a bit glitchy at times:( but id give it a 8-10:) and the chopper wench works great with a hummer too=D great way to hit the ground running;)
YES the servers are down, however if you play on PC you can use server emulators which allow you to continue playing "online". google it, download it, and keep cooperatively blowing stuff up! :D
@infinitideagames when you go to main menu page it usually says connecting to Ea sever...then crashes, to get around this download army of two the first game demo off the market place, then set up an EA acount if it promps you, if it don't dont worry, just go back to mercs and it shud work perfectly, then delete army of two demo, :)!
hey um i need help i cant do co-op cuz it asked me for an update but the update gives me cache so it freezes when i play. but if i dont update i log out of xbox live and cant do co-op
What the fuck is up with the freeze-up at the main menu ??? It happens every time to me every time and all I wanna do is play some fucking online Mercenaries...
ok so i just recently bought the game when i finshed doing the 1.03 patch and everything it tries to connect to the ea servers but when it tries it freezes up my ps3 my friend gives me his account i go to sign online and it works fine on his so now i know someting is not right with my account but what is it? any help???
does anybody know why when i update the game on my ps3 the game freeze on the main menu after the update.. pleas do help cause im a bit pissed, and when i do not update everything is fine
@danteindarkness ok dude, since the update for me, everytime i start up it DOES freese after about 5 or 6 secconds, all you realy need to do is just press continue as soon as you can and the game runs fine. once in the game you can go back to the menu and it will work fine, its just the first time that freezes, i will message you when i work out of how FIX the problem
hey my friend.. thanks for your response.. but i really did wait for like a minute or two and kept pressing every button.... i even ran through the main menu to start the game as soon as i could.. did it work for you?? and really,i appreciate for your reply
yea it did, i was pretty pised at the game, i just brought it and it wouldnt run...so i raged and just pressed X many times is quick sucession, then the game started...so yea
you can get this game for pc for like 8 bucks shiped brand new on ebay great buy if you have nice gaming rig online co-op is great lots of funny and fun moments
can you do split screen for ps3? i know you can play online, i have buds around the world, but lets say i wanted to play this with my brother in split screen, is there an option for split screen?
well depending if u have ps3 or 360. Ps3: go to the Playstation network and hit sign up. Just follow the instuctions. Sometimes you have to hit "system update"
When I use cheats at the first beginning of the story , will it harm the game/story or anything else?
I played Mercenaries 2 on PC soo often fin. Now I got it on PS3. And I just want to destroy everything like good old times. Pm me when you know it.
