  • @ScottLieksMudkipz Yes I m always a kid at heart ^^ Feels so good! Highly recomended!!

  • haha oh my God, I remember showing this game to all my family members when I was 10.... I was like: "look DAD, these are NK forces" and he was so happy he bought me the PS2 and this game then, he was always telling me this game is good for my brain, eventhough its a shoot-out bloodshed, because I will understand the meaning of REAL WAR.....and of course, THE MERCENARIES........LONG LIVE MERCENARIES !!!!

    PLUS I NEVER hijacked a A.N. forces YAH-56 gunship can anybody tell me how?

  • Rainbow Dash: "This really is the BEST GAME EVER!!"

  • this game was neat. depending on how many times u beat the game, depended on how rich u got. i nearly had $1billion. but then it stopped working.

  • anyone else love that almost every civilian car was identical? haha "in north korea, you drive same car as neighbor"

  • @Dutchmanvideos Hey that's how it is in communist countries. Like in Romania, they had Dacia 1300.

  • NOT.........

  • ahhh.........

  • Who composed this music?

  • @HiggsBoson0 Michael Giacchino and Chris Tilton. I always wondered why this and the BLACK soundtrack seemed so similar, now I know why, lol.

  • This video deserved more views..

  • Who came back to this game because Kim Jung Il died!

  • @Colossus165 I wan't a remake for ps3 of this game so much. or a HD re release is fine to.

  • KJI Is dead, but his son was handpicked to be his heir because he was literally crazier than his brothers may be worse, I don't like pessimism, but I feel this new premier could actually turn this Fiction into reality!

  • This is the best game i ever fucking played, its fucking awesome but i dont have a ps2 anymore, hope the will make another great game like the mercenaries 1 and 2 for the pc and the ps3

  • RIP Kim Il Jong

  • My copy of this game is not playable anymore :--(

  • I doubt we'll ever get a game as awesome as this one.

    R.I.P. Pandemic

  • far as I know, this gun is not the prototype rifle

  • @Uriel55459 its a real gun its just called the g36e in real life

  • someone we know where that gun is located in the hand of this jennifer, such that ta on the CD cover

  • Thx but now i feel like a dumbass for getting rid of this gme

  • Awesome game, in my opinion. Mercenaries 2 wasn't bad, but the first was way better. Should have been called Stuff Blowing Up: The Game, though.

  • its a shame pandemic was closed, i was looking forward for them to release mercanaries 3 as they had planned, friggin EA

  • this game was the SHIT!

  • @impaledbowl fuck you, you speak ill of the game why not throw him to the end

  • @Uriel55459 ...what? no! the shit is a good thing, im saying that i realy realy liked the game. not that it was bad. this was my fav PS2 game of all thime. relax dude

  • @giuguletzu U can get a ps2 emulator for ya pc ;)

  • I can't thank you enough.

  • I lost my fucking AV cable for my PS2. I'll never be able to play this again.

  • @Blazing234 guy, he may even be the most boring game in the world, the more I consider the best! child since I play it!

  • This song holds so much nostalgia for me. I used to watch the whole main menu just to hear this song. Man......I probably logged over 500 hours on this game. Back when I was 7 years old lol

  • such an amazing game

  • Comment removed

  • one of the best PS2 games i ever played,my PS2 still works,but for unknow reasoms this game disk does not work anymore

  • Comment removed

  • I have heard that members of Pandemic were recruited by EA and are working on what was started for Mercenaries 3: No Limits

  • @BagelBoi53 O_o my dream would become a reality! MERCS3!!

  • @BagelBoi53 if this is true, and i hope it is; i hope they make the game as epic as the first one and not that fucking JOKE the 2nd game was...

  • @jdogg1793 Yeah, I would play the first one over the second any day. The only thing POD needed was a pistol and air planes.

  • this song almost makes me cry.

    that was the best ages of my life.

    damn it

  • man this song brings a smile to my face and a lot of good memories and then again sadness t oknow ill never be able to relive my mercs days :)

  • @9911MU51C u can always buy it again

  • @SuberbardHD yeah but it would never be like the first time i played it :)

  • I remember playing Mercenaries back then on PS2, it was surprisingly the best game next to GTA: Vice City. Blowing up shit, shooting down vehicles, and making money while doing it. I mean, doesn't that sound fucking awesome? Not forget the this song in particular gives me chills. Sadly, Mercs 2 did not live up to much of my expectations, but still a kick ass game if you wanna blow up shit. Now that Mercs 3 isn't no longer in development, I'd say this...

    Fuck you EA!

  • This game was so fucking fun. I recall hijacking a bus while being allied with every faction, then watching a diverse team of soldiers join forces boarding the bus of justice against the NK forces. But then I accidentally ran over a mafia member in the bus and when the guys all got out of the bus they gang-raped the mafia guys D:

  • R.I.P Pandemic

  • What an epic theme song! Every time I hear this song, I will remember all the good times I had with this game, and probably will always be one of the best games I have ever played.

  • EA try their best but its the developers that decide to play rogue. However, Activision and Ubisoft fuck everyone over and make cheap copies.

  • @AirsoftSteveCope lolno, EA rushed Mercs 2

  • Comment removed

  • epic

    

  • i should get my school band to play this for next years marching show

  • Underrated game that should be overrated like call of duty...:(

  • You know, I hate EA but when it comes down to it, I hate Activision more.

    Atleast EA gives a slightly more of a shit than Activision. Though I still hate the two, I miss Pandemic and its sad that they died because of EA who need I remind you, also killed Westwood......god damn it....

  • 1st game the best 2nd game wasnt as fun only fun bit was the bunker buster nuke

  • The beginning reminds me of the songs from Black. Love that game!

  • medal of honor frontlines also had an amazing soundtrack

  • I hope the Mercenaries series or Star Wars: Battlefront series can be rebooted somehow. Even if Pandemic Studios is shut down now, dozens of their workers have actually migrated to potentially successful developers, such as "343 Industries", the people working on Halo 4 right now! I'm crossing my fingers, because they were great, great, classic games :)

  • The guy who composed this also did the score for the incredibles, Star Trek, and Up, and Ratatouille.

  • @sunset261 Don't forget Call of duty and Medal of honor.

  • @Hororrgun I learned about this game from the back of the Star Wars Battlefront instruction booklet and that's what made me get this. It's too bad this game has been forgotten. This game has been and always will be my favorite. BTW, Hase anyone ever seen that city and monument that's at the main menu? I've played this game for 4 years and have never come across it, even after hours of exploring. Has anyone else found it?

  • @115jeremy I don't think it exists anywhere outside the Main Menu.

  • I remember when i about 9 and it was my birthday in February and i saw this game in a leaflet from a starwars game, this game came out a few days after my birthday so i asked my parents if i could get it because it looked good.

    A few days later it came in the post as soon as i got it i put it into my Xbox's disc drive waiting for the game to start up, as soon as i saw the menu pop up accompanied with this music i knew at that moment it was going to be the best game i ever got. :')

  • most fun in a game ever.

  • Mercs 1 was so much fun and intense. However, mercs 2 was buggy, ugly, poorly designed and just plain bad. It mad me lose all faith in pandemic entertainment. I didn't shed a tear after they fucked up the sequel to one of my favorite games. Such a letdown.

    On the topic of the score.. This song is so epic. I remember sitting at the start menu just for this specific score.

  • this game is very cool but it's very hard like they gave you Normal Character couple shots will kill you and they are alot tanks air plans Helicopters... etc but it still Epic game

  • This has to be my all time favourite game. I continued to play this for years after it was released. Unfortunately mercenaries 2 didnt do it for me, the whole thing was a sorta joke where as this game actually had emotion to it.

  • @Unterstutzungsfeuer Thanks, man. It's a really good game and it makes me wish that I still had my original xbox alongside my 360.

  • Does anyone know if this game is compatible to the 360?

  • @m3talcorps3

    I pretty sure it isn't. If you got a copy, might as well try. But I doubt it.

  • @Testement117 Well, I had it for the Ps2, but my ps2 has been unusable for a few years.

  • Damn it, Im going to get my god damn Playstation out of my god damn huge attic and play this game again even if it kills me.

  • @Ubuntu20111 my boy, you are indeed keeping pandemics memory alive

  • @SanaroTheHedgehog Hell yes, I loved that game. I remember running around as Han Solo and placing 8 packets of C4 around a car and rocketing it in to space. I played it just the other day for the first time in a few years and as soon as I herd the music in this video, around 100 million memory's of shooting and blowing shit up came flooding back. God that music is powerful :D

  • EA really know how to fuck some games up! Mercs 2 just felt cheap and didn't match up to this at all! And they made all the characters assholes, where as in Mercs POD they were all awesome slick and badass!

    Its a shame the full pandemic studios became defunct in 2009, but most of the team is with EA now and they will hopefull not ruin Mercs Inc!

    (Also anyone know who recorded/composed this? Its awesome! The trombones are amazing!)

  • @AttitudeCastle

    Michael Giacchino composed this song.

  • This game was the fucking bomb... like seriously. PS2 still kicks the crap out of Xbox and PS3 for the sheer amount of fun, quality games. This kept me busy for hundred of hours. Resident Evil 4, MGS3, Ace Combat, San Andreas, Battlefront... All amazing games.

    Lucas Arts knows how to make great games. Its a shame Mercs 2 was a huge fuck up.

  • @Testement117 Sorry to break for you buddy but most original Xbox games (not 360 ones) kicked PS2, PS3, X360 and whatever ass.

    The original XBOX was the mature gamer's paradise.

  • @StevXtreme

    Give me games. Only ones I really have are Halo CE and Crimson Skies and Knights of the Old Republic. PS2 had better exlusives. Those few games I described have kept me busy for over 5 years. There are very few games that have been able to do that.

  • @Testement117 I don't care about exclusives. I'm talking in general here. Just to name some titles that rocked my world: Ninja Gaiden, Def Jam Fight For New York, Unreal Championship, Fable, the very same Mercenaries... aww man. Great times.

  • @StevXtreme

    Well, Mercs was also on the PS2 and Fable is the only one I've played out of the ones you named. PS2 had better quality games, and it had a lot of them. Most great games on the xbox were also on the PS2 so I just consider it a better overall system.

    In general, the PS2 had a better lineup of games.

  • @Testement117 The PS2 had like an infinity of games available but that much is obvious. The console had time to gather IPs and deals with publishers during it's obvious monopoly that lasted from 1994 (when the first PS was launched) to 2002 (when the Xbox went worldwide).

    There's no point in arguing about sheer numbers here. I was just saying the medium quality of the games available, IMO, was superior on the Xbox (possibly because of the hardware advantage too).

  • @StevXtreme

    I guess you're right. Overall, most xbox games were either great or good. Not too many lemons. Meanwhile, the PS2 had a few greats mixed in with a shitload of lemons. But, I'll still standby and say those few greats are what made the system what it is. Hell, I bought a PS2 just so I could play San Andreas, and Metal Gear Solid 3.

    I am in no way a PS "fanboi" I always buy the system with a better lineup of games. Any games even worth attention are either on both the xbox or PS3

  • @StevXtreme ever play Mech Assault, Brute Force or Metal Arms: glitch in the system, all are amazing games.

    also i noticed that you were listing games that both xbox and ps2 ( at least for the most part) had but you expect that you have good xbox exclusives listed to you when you didnt list a single good ps2 exclusive.

    The original Xbox had more power its a fact, so games that were on both systems had a slightly better xbox version also.

  • @XxCaptmetaldayxX I never said that Xbox had better EXCLUSIVES. I said it had a more mature line-up of games. Never said the PS2 didn't have its fair share of mature, quality games. That's why some of the games I listed were on the PS2 also.

    Basically I was talking about the higher general standard on the original Xbox. Now it's all the same.

  • the mercenaries, get in, blow the shit up, get out, and get payed. aw yeah...

  • For a second there im like no way dont put a bounty on me( im a leader in a clan called the aces and as such im the ace of spades) then im like ea ohhhhhhhh........ I got the sniper rifle!

  • The franchise made good money. EA WILL make another Mercenaries, but it will never be on par with this masterpiece.

    I NOMINATE EA AS THE NEW ACE OF SPADES BOUNTY!

    $100,000,000 - Accept contract? [Yes] / [No]

  • @acidviper13 [Yes] Ill try not to hit em with the fuel-air bomb....

    No but seriously, I wish EA didnt take over the franchise, it shoulda stayed with Lucas Arts :(

  • omg this game is my most fave game in the world! i listened to this for hours! its just raw epicocity! man those were the days... i miss those day...

  • Personally i think that if you took the first 1:50 of the song and got rid of the rest it would be even better

  • my childhood was made up between this game and morrowind...both have insane freedom and amazing soundtracks and i love both

  • Lucasarts buy back PANDEMIC!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!

  • @FNAroundProductions Hate to say it, but Pandemic studios got shut down a while ago. They're not coming back.

  • @Revenwazhere that made me cry =[

  • yay! bring down kim jon il!

  • this is my favorite mercenaries game ever 

  • EA CLOSED PANDEMIC STUDIOS,THAT BASTARDS D:< WE WILL NEVER HAVE A REMAKE OF THIS OR MERCENARIES 3.BLAME IT ON EA

  • EA made 4 accounts to dislike this

  • fuck mercenaries 2 it sucks WE NEED ANOTHER POD

  • @SaintsSpecOps WIth Pandemic doors closed that's quite a request

  • fucking love this game.

  • i listen to this when playing mercenaries 2 :D

  • I would just listen to the ending theme after the game's finished.

  • 4 people home's blew up after they pressed the dislike button...

    seriously,"dislike" should not exsist on videos like this one.

  • grrrrr i hate the f"(!%ing EA for ruining Merc 2, seriously someone, find the very person(s) who make these shits happen and i swear im going to kill them wherever they are !!! -_- games are a half the addicting part of my life, ruining it is runing half my life, the fun there is in my life, and also fking with me !

    so a nice message for EA ~~ stop messing every good fking game up and COME IF YOU DARE OR HIDE BEFORE I GET TO YOU !!!!!!

  • This game, a lot because of the music, felt like you were playing a movie. This game was SO good!

  • For those who didn't know, this is composed by Michael Giacchino, the same guy who did the soundtrack to the new Star Trek movie, UP, and The Incredibles.

  • @sunset261 And also the soundtracks to the great old Medal of Honor games.

  • anyone know how to rip this from the PS2 version other than hooking my PS2 up to my PC via line-in. I found the .MIB files in the music folder but I cannot get them to play right in MFAudio. need the right settings.

  • Damn! Now I know why the music from Star Trek (2009) sounded so familiar. That's Michael f'n Giacchino!! Now I gotta download this soundtrack.

  • Anybody else get the chills when you hear an epic song?

  • @OrgasmicPancakes

    Me for one. 

  • It seems as though as the days go by, both country's draw closer and closer to war

  • mercenaries 2 had so much to live up to.........goddamit

  • EA intentionally made Mercs 2 a piece of shit. It's what they've done to pretty much every good game--buy out the studio after they've produced a really good game, then half-ass the next game to maximize profits and then leave the entire series up shit creek without a paddle. Maybe a broken paddle, if they're lucky.

    If you're reading this EA, I want you to know that I think you should take your DRM and yourself and go fuck yourself (since no one else will).

  • @BlingBling1347 Mercenaries 2 is exactly alike to the first one. Does this mean you hate both?

  • @greifenhagen15 No, of course not. I love the first one--it's been years since it came out and I still play it along with my PS3 games. Yup. The only reason I still have my PS2 is because of Mercs 1.

    What I'm saying is that Mercs 2 could have been much better, but instead EA came along and made it worse.

    Mercs 1 ftw! :D

  • @BlingBling1347 I've wanted to turn EA's headquarters into a steaming crater for song long now... hate the cunts...

  • @BlingBling1347 dude you're confusing EA with Activision. either way they are both publishers not developers, they dont make the games. pandemic half assed the second game and made it shit. Activision did exactly what you said with the COD series because they are money hungry game killers, they did it with guitar hero and now are doing it with call of duty. EA is a pretty just publisher, they are the opposite of activision.

  • @TheGreatKadik EA forced pandemic to rush Mercs2, SW Battlefront 2 wasnt a piece of shit and it was made while pandemic were under Lucas Arts

  • @HptProductions Pandemic was never under LucasArts. That was a star wars game so it was produced by LucasArts. Pandemic was always under EA, and unlike Activision, EA is just.

  • @TheGreatKadik oh i see

  • this game is starting to become a news story.

  • funny, this game is really prophetic, it predicted a second Korean war in late 2010, there you have it, send the mercenaries boys.

  • @MRresievil310 potentially

  • @MRresievil310 Mattias Nilsson would fuck NK up!

  • @MRresievil310 :P if theres going to have a war,here go the factions: iran,NK.SK and of course UN or the USA

  • the 4 ppl who disliked are the ace of clubs, diamonds,hearts and spades.

  • thats four North Korean militants that got their heads blown off

  • Man this song PUMPS ME UP

  • Ace of Spades baby ;)

  • i used 2 pause the game and listen 2 this

  • i listen to this while doing school and when this is playing i get a A+

  • for south korea

  • I had an ad pop up behind this talking about lysol so thats what I thought the theme was lol

  • Mercs 2 tried too hard at the humor aspect. It wasn't as subtle, and IMO, wasn't as good.

  • @KKKSuperFan You seriously think EA bought LucasArts solely for better graphics engines? Not very intelligent, are you?

  • Goddam, I remember playing this game every spare second I had when I was deployed to Iraq back in the day.

  • EA is just a horrible publisher, absolutley ruined Mercs 2, taking the fun out of it with the removal of such things as cheats, changing the background stories of the Mercs, changing major factions in the game... The list goes on.

    Then EA delivered the final blow with Pandemic being dissolved, those guys were doing incredibly well up until EA acquired them.

    LucasArts >>>>> EA

    When it comes to publishers.

  • @lieutenanterrrrrrrr I completely agree with you on all accounts. Lets hope LucasArts gets it back and makes it better IF they do have plans for a Mercs 3. I am hoping that a 3rd installment does come out though, because these games are so fun and addicting.

  • @Damonjager09

    There's no Mercs 3. They'll replace it for Mercs Inc. It's gonna be some kind of Mercs 3, BUT it's gonna an MMO. So imagine playing WoW Mercenaries Style.

  • @technovideostudios

    yay now we won't get a choice if we have a game with a cheating douche

    Damnit I only had one game in Mercenaries 2 where we worked together as a team to finish the game

  • I was disappointed by the sequel in a few ways, but this game still ranks in my top 10.

  • The theatrics of Mercenaries: PoD made this game. The surreality of it worked because it was cinematic. They couldn't pull it off right in Mercs 2, and that made it fail where it should've succeeded. My other problem with what they did in Mercs 2 was remove the gritty humor, they tried to make it appeal too much to the target audience (young children) by making it crude and stupid.

    And where was Mattias's badass Swedish accent?!?

  • awesome opening theme music, put a lot of hours in this game

  • This would sound right at home in one of the Star Wars films.

  • Mercenaries 2 was horribly rushed by developers not yet comfortable with the next generation of console development. Mercenaries 1 was a perfectly crafted masterpiece without equal even today.

    The soundtrack kicks, too.

  • @Strike86 Perhaps the new one will be better. Hear of Mercs Inc?

  • @TheYankee44 I saw some trailer for it ages ago, looked pretty good. But then again the trailers always look good...

  • @Strike86 mercenaries 1 was no where near perfect. Poor graphics and dumb AI took away from this game, but it was still really fun and addictive overall.

  • @luckycharms8282

    Poor graphics? The game is 5 years old. What do you expect?

  • This game should be a classic

  • The best!

  • man...i want this game so i can play it on my '360!!

  • I thought Mercs 2 was good, but I liked Mercs 1 better. I don't know why, but I think it's better "themed" that Mercs 2.

  • Comment removed

  • Is this a sandbox game?

    or is it straight foward game like Medal of honor games?

  • @Lollerobot It's sandbox. And it's an awesome game.
