i think people are getting to over-excited about destructable environments. There are way to many glitches and flaws in this game... Feels like playing a demo or a beta.

Pros. Sandbox, Cool Vehicles, Destructable Environment, Online Co-op, Servers Work, Not Complex, hijacking vehicles.

Cons. Radias between your partner, vehicles can blow up without even hitting anything, missions are repetitive, graphics are par at best, aiming system is off, on coop the second player if joining again meaning not one sit through he/she starts back at 0 airstrikes supplies vehicles it only keeps their money, you can fall out of an chopper from the clouds and not die just have 1 health, hijacking gets old each vehicle has its own routine, sometomes when getting in a car you will be tossed in mid air spontanesouly, driving mechanics, no cover system, grenades are uselss, cant throw anything farther then a foot, no real story, killing pedestrians cost money, fiona is annoying as (three paragraphs censored she is annoying) ...

i can go on forever and ever basically this game is worth a rent at best but to many flaws for a purchase, you may think many of my cons are picking on the game but i assure you im not, as i havent mentioned a lot that playing this game you will notice and it gets annoying when you get into a car and it blows up going over a curb at 1mph, on the other side it can be fun calling in a chopper to drop of a motorcycle tank so it goes both ways, but 10s and 9s even 8s, that is the reason why games dont live up to hype one person plays 5 seconds of a game enjoys it greatley and spreads the word that its the greatest thing ever made. I ASSURE YOU THIS GAME IS BARELY MORE TOLERABLE THAN ARMY OF TWO! EA RUSHED PRODUCTION ON ANOTHER POSSIBLY GREAT GAME.

all in all this game feels very rushed, and first game was mature rating and now teen, what gives?

The 1st one was better by far, more challenging and there was a point to the game. This one not so much. Big deal you are looking for SAlon. Atleast Mercs1 you were looking for the "deck of Cards" and trying to flush out the "Ace". They could have made this game better
