After you stick it, and it shows you the detonater in the HUD, you can tap left on the d-pad again and choose more C4. This wasn't obvious to me at first, but it's good to know because you can put C4 on 4 corners of pretty strong buildings and bring them down.
didn't know this, thanks!

Decided to rent Mercs 2. I don't have the cash right now to buy. But I'll pick it up as soon as I can get it on sale.
I played the first 2 missions with random coop. It's decent only after 15 minutes of play. Explosions look nice. Tank controls are really floaty. And holy shit at the screen tearing. I've never noticed tearing in games before. It's terrible here.
I hope to play some coop with a mic before I take it back.

'Cept for the sniper, they were all easy. The pistol did take me a few trys though as I'd get to the end with enough time left, but some nonsense would happen. Either one of the last targets needing two hits instead of one or bullets flying wild and just missing the target. I supposed it helps that Jen's fast as hell between locations.anddo0 said:
I have no clue what's up with the lvl3 sniper though. I tried like 5 times in a row and it seems impossible.
Level 3 sniper is doable if you look left and right and shoot a barrel next to each car (four cars), shoot the statues being carried by the helicopter and the car and scramble to shoot the remaining few portraits. The barrels will blow up multiple portraits for you.
Level 3 Winching Challenge is absolutely pathetic in difficulty. Super-easy money right there!

I'm playing the US ps3 version. The tearing is the worst in the cutscenes.

That might explain why that was the only version at PAX. This was an issue in Battlefield: Bad Company as well. Is it just an EA thing or an industry wide problem?saunderez said:
Played an hour... so far in the very beginning stages. I just got my "base of operations" and decided to quit and save (and go home for dinner). I did a quick check of my stats and it says 7% completed.
What the fuck? 7% and that was the intro tutorial linear mission?
I really thought the gunplay would be a bit tighter but I can deal with what's here. After all, I played the crap out of Just Cause and other less worthy shooters simply because the game itself is fun. And so far, even in the very first couple missions, Mercs 2 is pretty fun.
Graphically, the game fluctuates wildly between looking pretty great and being completely mediocre (but adequate nonetheless). Like most people have already said, shit blows up real good and the chaos is pretty sweet, even in the first couple missions.
Alright, hope this game has legs and length.

well, my buddy had the 360 version and the tearing is there in the cutscenes from what I've seen. That's the only place i've seen it in the ps3 version, and it's only really horrible during the first scenes. Its just like Kand and Lynch for some reason, horrible tearing right at the first part, then it goes away.saunderez said:
I'm going on in 5-10 minutes for co-op.

You will see the percent shoot up during the intro missions, but percent gaining gets really slow when you are settled in (have all the crew toegether and all that stuff).
It's been stated a few times, but it's only going fast as you're getting the team together and it doesn't count a lot (any?) of the side missions towards your completion percentage. After that point, the progress slows down considerably.chespace said:
I have a crap-load of hours into the game, playing at least 6+ hours per day since Sunday and only have a 66% completion status and just unlocked my 3rd faction.
edit:
Just checked my current stats:
Total Play time: 35:39:57
% complete: 66%
Doesn't seem short to me.
