Mercenaries 2: World in Flames Q&A

Pandemic on Mercenaries 2: World in Flames on GameSpot is a conversation
with Pandemic director Cameron Brown about the upcoming open-world action
sequel, discussing gameplay, the differences on various platforms (like the lack
of PS3 trophy support), and on how they have reworked the game's cooperative
multiplayer play: That was one of the big things we wanted to do over
[with] Mercs. What we decided to do early on was we didn’t want you to go to any
kind of special mode or arena. We really wanted you to play multiplayer and that
it would be the full single-player experience. What we focused on was co-op,
it’s just two players--you and your friend--in the game. We focused on this very
easy to get into, drop-in, drop-out, co-op. I could be playing my game and see
you pop up online, I could send you an invite and you jump into my game. There’s
literally no interruption for me at all, I’m just playing around with the world.
If I’m in a vehicle, you’ll appear there, like in the gunner’s seat. If I’m
running around, you’ll appear beside me. We just keep playing the single-player
game, with the two of us in there together. We can play from the opening credits
to the final credits--all the way through the game in co-op.
