It's 2020 and I'm still replaying it over and over again. What a game. The pandemic might've put me on quarantine but Pandemic Studios really helped me through it. Hope the guys behind the game is okay. Hope the game will be continued in sequels/remakes/remasters (":
Unfortunately, Electronic Arts decided to close the studio so don't expect anymore games like this. It's a shame really, EA should've just sold the franchise or the studio to another publisher. And to be honest, Mercenaries was a lot better when they were with Lucas Arts instead of EA.
Chris O First of all, Mercenaries 3 could exist; they still own it. And they have a new studio made of largely Pandemic workers. And; Mercenaries was always an EA Franchise.
Cpcool3 It's quite possible that EA could make another studio, but they closed the old studios and made them join new ones. Also, what studio is made largely of pandemic workers? On October 11, 2007, it was announced that VG Holding Corp., the owners of BioWare and Pandemic Studios, would be acquired by Electronic Arts as of January 2008, subject to FTC approval. In February 2009, their office in Brisbane, Australia was shut down. Lucas Arts published the first Mercenaries game: Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction. Mercenaries: POD is still one of my favorite games of all time. I hope to see a return of the franchise sometime soon but I don't think EA sees the attention for making another one.
I haven't seen this video since it came out and for some reason I know I'll do lyrics, I don't know how but I guess I watch this video over and over again when I was younger
We as fans should do something or ask ea to bring back the studio and to remake mercenary 1 and 2 bundle for next gen to keep us occupied and relive the good days while there making mercs 3 and this song keeps playing all day :D
I truly believe the fan base would be large enough for this, but sadly EA doesn't care about fans it cares about money and thats it. The reason they release Battlefields with the same generic structor of each game is because its cheaper to shell out games that they know people will buy just for the name itself. Every game is pretty much just a base copy and paste with new textures that give it a new "twist". But hey maybe one day with Just Cause 3 coming out soon they may realize they need a 3rd person open world video game, Then thats where Mercs comes in
the game is called Mercs, which is short for Mercenaries, which is also a faction in Transformers. The joke was right there, and they took their chance.
yeah, that's how i feel about it. i felt that way even when i first heard the commercial. i was staring at the tv for like 10 minutes after it came on hoping for it to come on again. i was in love with that song the first time i heard it. and i never even played this or the first one.
Never played Mercenaries or Mercenaries 2. Never really had the chance to. But this song is frickin' awesome!! I come back to watch it every year just to enjoy it again.
Just for the song alone is this video awesome. But the animations are awesome, just picked up this game yesterday might start it later since I beat GTA IV this morning.
The game's website used to have a free mp3 download of the song. I don't know if it is still up or not. The band is called Wojahn Brothers. They have a page on MySpace.
Look closely in the background in the final picture when he blows up the oil rig it makes a cloud of a skull with a mohawk. OWNAGE THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME!!!
after all these years this is still the best promo i've ever seen for a game
Aiden I signed! Hoorah!

This is good, but not Halo 3 Believe tier
RIP pandemic studios we will never forget ):

Mercenaries 3 for PS4, 10/10 would buy. I want more Mercs 2.

Chris O Mercs Inc is still around, have no fear! Apparently, they ARE still making it, but not much news has come out about it.
*****
well, until then, it's still unconfirmed.
As a games dev student with a fondness for animation, this was really awesome to see! I love stuff like this.
After 9 Years This Is Still The Best Game On The Playstation 3 And Playstation 2 I Still Play It To This Day
Same
Come back here every few years just to feel something
2024 checking in. Played this game before I started highschool. Song is a masterpiece. I will not forget.
This song is so majestic,it's making me cry :')
I love how the entire story of the game is in this song.
Still,this is one of my fav EA videos.
Literally the first shooter video game i ever played, been looking for this for like a year.
I just like this video, I can watch it over and over again.
I first heard of this back in 2007, I miss those daysssss
Just under ten years later, and this shit still brings the biggest, dumbest grin to my face.
"Didn't you oh no?" Best part
AYYYYY LMAOOOOOOOO
This song is still stuck in my head after all these years .
I haven't seen this video since it came out and for some reason I know I'll do lyrics, I don't know how but I guess I watch this video over and over again when I was younger
loving it in 2017

+Elder Fuentes Just Cause fills that gap just fine.
+TheDustyTrolls Storm the building then, maybe.
Ea it's time for a third one
Never played the game, but always, *always* loved this video and song. Thought it was hilarious as a kid.
Just found this today and I've listened to it about 10 times. Catchy...
This is my favorite "rap" song...
What? Ima need to elaborate on that
Why was this linked on a page for transformers.
Cuz its a good song
the game is called Mercs, which is short for Mercenaries, which is also a faction in Transformers. The joke was right there, and they took their chance.
Pls make a 3rd one
Nope EA screwed Pendimec over and got bankrupted
That will be a dream come true
44leverage True :'(

F por Pandemic studios
we need a mercenaries 3 that doesn't fucking suck or at least a mercenaries 2 remastered
This game was my childhood
When I was a teacher. I showed this video to all my kids. This is how to sell video games. This song is the greatest. Why isn't this on the radio?
When EA was good.
Hey EA you are trash company
*The co op experiences 💎💎💎*
Honestly this getting a remaster should happen
How has anyone not made a deadpool video
I’m here from 2024
I love how they can put piano into the song
This is quite possibly the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Still amazing song
🤜🤛
I want Mercenaries 3
All of a sudden I remembered this song, and how I had it on my myspace, good times.
Ah Mercenaries 2. You will forever be in my heart and slightly majorly implanted in my head.
Just for the song alone is this video awesome. But the animations are awesome, just picked up this game yesterday might start it later since I beat GTA IV this morning.
OMG it's been 2 years, i suddenly had the urge to watch this again, and it's still WAY cooler then beiber
I want cry when I see this game
Beautifully done.
Great song, with a nice glance into the creation!
Rip to EA being the reason why there isn't another mercenary game
One of the best commercials OF ALL TIME!
I still like this song! So funny and wonderfully orchestrated!
Yes
I love the way that guy hits though high notes!! :D
remember I found this song/game by accident but still super good I found this back when I was 15 in middle school and now I'm in college I'm 23
@Stonehawk that was the first good year sense the 1990's i miss the 90's they had awsome shows and games
The game's website used to have a free mp3 download of the song. I don't know if it is still up or not. The band is called Wojahn Brothers. They have a page on MySpace.
Is it weird that I prefer this over just cause
No not at all just cause is trash compared to mercs
this song is like cemented into my brain.
seems sorta nostalgic even though its not that old
It is now
I seriously don't understand why someone would dislike this video
I love how this is like an english opera style thing, and yet the whole video is death and pain.
The whole money theme is a really neat idea. I didn't even notice when these commercials actually aired.
Best intro and music ever!
The song is by the Wojahn Brothers. They have it on Itunes.
It's so bloody well timed at the end lol
I can't get enough of mercs 2
The music was timed perfectly for the ending
i loved the song, i loved the game, and i still love and play the game.
i still love this song
Look closely in the background in the final picture when he blows up the oil rig it makes a cloud of a skull with a mohawk. OWNAGE THIS SONG IS SO AWESOME!!!
The making of this ad was the best part of the whole game.. :D
Mercenaries 3 please someone do it at some point
Best game from my childhood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The writing on the wall as he runs by with the RPG-7 says Everybody Pays in long hand.
The company LOVES to have fun with their trailers.
=D.
Man, this was a good game. Awesome song too!
This are the bestest song i'are ever hear!!!
I bought it on PS2, then started listening to this, now I'm getting it on 360. Lol!
I miss you, Pandemic. This was the best game promo ever.
Well the Pandemic is back!... Wait what Pandemic were you talking about again?
lol I love the part where he's like "you aint got a prayer, you owe MEEEE"
@gogoboy44 If you use firefox, there are loads of add-ons that allow you to convert the video's audio into mp3 and download it.
Fills my heart with cheer!
The only song i would sing along with out loud. Never played the game, but i like the song.
The sweet sounds and melodies of no micro-transactions.
I love the dollar graphics in the skybox / under the oil rig / along the wall. Jump to 2:33 and start looking.
im listing to this 2 YEARS AFTER IT CAME OUT
15 here
Simply Awwweeessssooooommmmmeeeee! Thanks.
The "Pa pap pa pa pa pa" etc is my text alert :P i love this song!
Make this song stop playing over and over in my head , papapap -papapa papapapapapapa Oh No You Didn't
Mercs Inc. By EA is currently being worked on as a Mercenaries 3.
Pandemic Studios no longer exists, which were the makers of Mercenaries.
Sure it's easy to make a any old band song the song of your game. But it takes true skill to make your own with lyrics and flow that actually works
@Stonehawk that was my favorite year of my life
I FINALLY have this game, I'm so late but I'm gonna enjoy beating this ; !!
this song's rhythm is so catchy
