Default [GS]Mercenaries 2 Co-Op Hands On

Quote:
Mercenaries 2 is a game that has received plenty of coverage over its rather lengthy development cycle, but thus far little of that coverage has dealt with the highly anticipated cooperative multiplayer. We have heard that it will be a seamless experience in which the joining player simply drops in and out of the host player's session. The players will run around Venezuela blowing up everything they would in a normal single-player mode, but with the added benefit of being able to revel in all that destruction alongside a friend. We're pleased to say we finally had the opportunity to experience Mercs 2's co-op mode at yesterday's EA Showcase event in Redwood Shores. But we're even more pleased that this feature is every bit as simple and fun as we expected.

The process of getting into another person's game is a simple and painless one. You simply accept an invitation if it's a private session or jump right in if it's an open session, and then you're automatically teleported from whichever part of the expansive Venezuelan setting you were causing a ruckus in all the way to where your buddy is. For example, if he's in a helicopter shooting missiles at an oil refinery when you join his game, you'll automatically be put in the gunner's seat of that helicopter. Right from the get-go, you'll be able to engage in acts of wanton destruction as soon as you join his session.

Just a bit of bumpage for the game, here's a co-op video:

Freaking amazing. I cannot wait for this.
Me and a friend are getting it on day one and are going to do beginning to end co-op.
I definitely didn't know this was going to be on PC until yesterday.
So excited!
