Ahem. So, I preordered Mercs 2 over Labor Day weekend and its on its way. I'm really excited, dont get me wrong. Its just the continuous glitch problem that I've been hearing about. When its glitches that dont affect my completion of the game, I could care less. However, many people that have the Xbox 360 copy are experiencing game-killing glitches. I'm nervous that this will affect my game as well:?

For those that have their X360 copy, could you give me some reassurance here? It seems like there isn't a single copy that DOESN'T glitch... or so I've read on the Mercs 2 Pandemic forums..

Some say they never get glitches others say they do.

I think it depends how nit picky you are.

Oh alright. I just dont want any fatalities like I was having with GTA4... ended up having to get 3 different copies until i found one that didnt say "disc is unreadable" in the middle of gameplay. I can only pray that my Mercs 2 copy is playable.

Theres no game killing glitches. All the bugs are annoying, but they dont erase files, or freeze the game or anything. Theyre just things like, flying a helicopter and it disappears while youre in it at 10000 ft. Or walking through walls or falling through floors. And the pop-up can be painful. Theres a million bugs that drive you crazy. But nothing that will ruin your game, itll just try your patience.

I haven't had a single glitch since I got it when it came out. I wouldn't worry.

I played the first couple of missions and was astonished at how horrible this game is. They should have def. delayed it or canned the game. Draw distance is horrible, gun accuracy is horrible, enemy AI (just sit and wait for you to kill them, lucky the gun accuracy is crap else this game would be a cake walk). The graphics in the distant are horrible and blurry. Vehicles are a chore to drive and take damage from minor objects that keep you guessing what to run over and what not to run over. Also I've noticed a glitch from the last game in which some enemies are impossible to kill. In the very first mission I had an enemy sitting by a tree with a branch covering him, the branch was pretty much a ballistic shield because no grenade or bullet would penetrate him (finally had to just go up and melee him). I don't think I can finish this game in how poorly put together it is and it was delayed for what? I'd hate to see what this game was like before the delay. I would cancel the order and pick up the game used or rent it. No way is this worth $60 bucks.

I take it that you've never played the first Mecenaries then? Everything you've described has always been previlant in this series. Now with the shiny new graphics these things are starting to be more noticable. Does this kill the game? No way! This game is far from solid, but it's still one of the most fun co-op games I've played in a long time. Is it worth $60? That's something you'll have to determine for yourself.

You understood me wrong.

You can go back into the same game, Just cannot do any unfinished outpost missions.

My early thoughts on Mercs 2 for the 360 - seems a bit easy so far. Only captured the first house so far and in total already got 100 achievement points. Controls are ok, except for when in a vehicle - turning the turret on the tank is like its on ice, keeps sliding around. Melee does make the game easy like from Crackdown. Have seen a couple graphic glitches where could see the lines on a characters face and see empty space inside.

I thought this game was delayed until now so that they could iron out all the bugs/glitches? What the hell have they been doing for the last 8 months?

Ah, so this must be the solid part you were describing then? Achievements not working, clipping through the ground, enemies that get stuck in environmental objects, fuel and money caches that helis can't pick up, HVTs that can't be bountied alive. It's great game and I'm throughly enjoying, but yes, this game is far from solid.
