Mercenaries 2: World in Flames will be receiving it's first ever title update on Monday, October 13th with the release of a "Total Payback" update that's aimed at connecting gamers from around the world, adding more variety and enabling cheaters to, well ... cheat.
The Total Payback update will add an additional six characters to the Mercenaries 2 mix, give players the ability to enter cheats and (this one's a biggie) enable cross-region support of Xbox Live multiplayer. Huzzah! Again, this is an update, meaning it'll be applied instantly and for free come October 13th.
Also, Pandemic revealed that they'll be releasing the first set of Mercs 2 downloadable content sometime this November. So, keep an eye out for that.
[Thanks, Fox]

To those of you who have played the game, is this game worth dropping 60 bucks.

I enjoyed the hell out of it, but it's damned glitchy and can be beat fairly quickly. I'd say rent it unless you know someone on Live who you can play with. The co-op really makes the game a lot more fun.

It's a lot of fun! If you have a partner to play co-op with, then it's even better. If you aren't sure, just rent it.

It's pretty good, more fun if you have a friend to play co-op with online.
The glitches make the game hilarious if you're with a buddy, infuriating if you're by yourself.

I'm looking forward to the "disable all game-breaking bugs" cheat.

Mercenaries 2 was total garbage by E.A. I was so disappointed that it was not as big as the last one. Co-op kinda sucked I.E. your friend can only call in transport helicopters until you get him to a shop, not so cool if your in the middle of a mission. You and your friend get two far away and its game over? They could at least made your friend respawn near you if you got to far away. The distances you could be away from your friend were not that great. Mercenaries 2 was one of the buggiest games I have ever played. I need to hit myself in head to remind myself not buy E.A. products but rent them instead. Oh well I guess I have to wait for Just Cause 2 and hope it's not as screwed up. At least in Just Cause 2 I'll have a parachute when my Helicopter blows up instead of falling from 3000 feet and sliding sideways for 30 seconds on the side of a hill.

This is the first time I've ever said this, but I'm glad they're adding cheats to this game.
I just want to carpet bomb my partner with nukes, is that so much to ask?

Why after so many years did they not improve the car handling at all? The games ok, not as good as the first, maybe it was ahead of its time and we expected too much this time. Mouths don't move a lot when their talking, you get stuck in bushes, and you swim on land when trying to get out of the water. But those are just the small things that may or may not bother you. This is a game that definitely needs cheats.
