Loading ...You know it’s a good game when the patch, that has features that should have shipped in the game, along with bug fixes, gets it’s own trailer.
In fairness to the game, as relative-average of a game it was, I have racked up like 60hrs of co-op multiplayer with a friend in it where we spend half our time laughing at bugs hysterically and the other half yelling because the game is being retarded. So good/bad game or not, there is fun to be had with this title and a friend.
Update #1: The “Total Payback” patch is free and will be released October 13th for Xbox 360 and October 20th for PS3.

Except the patch wasn’t delivered as promised for the 360, and neither EA nor Pandemic has come out with a statement about the delay.

Gunner,
It’s still not out yet? Bah… I hadn’t even checked yet but I was looking forward to playing this tonight.
Let us know if you hear more about this.

Only thing to hear is the “sound of silence” from EA/Pandemic.
LOTS of bashing posts and threads being deleted on the official Pandemic Forums.
People are creating new user names JUST to post a flame and get banned.

Damn, all over the patch not coming out on time? How come the fans got so rabbid in just 1 day?
Got a link handy?

I think the issue is the lack of communications from EA/Pandemic.
A number of players have been complaining about bugs from the very beginning, but the uproar HAD died down. I think most players (including myself) were resigned to the flaws of the game and were going to play it in spite of the flaws and glitches.
Then EA/Pandemic announced the patch with the date of October 13th.
I think if they had just said “Coming Soon”, or even “Coming in October” they would have been fine (since most people would have been expecting October 31st and would have been happy with the 20th).
Instead, they failed to deliver on time and then blew off telling their customers anything.
As far as a link, I’ve just been watching the forums on the official site (www.mercs2.com) and on the Xbox official forum (http://forums.xbox.com/811/ShowForum.aspx). I know that negative threads are being deleted. The moderated has pretty much come out and said so, and implied that future negative threads will be deleted.
