Oh, no you didn't.....

....that song from the Mercenaries 2 commercial is currently runing through my brain.  I can't shake it!  I rented this with hubby to see if it was any good.  I'm actually suprised at how much fun it is!  That is if you can forgive all the goofy glitches...I swear there is a new one every night!  The one that takes the cake has to be when I tried to join a co-op with hubby the first night and when it threw me in, it put me in the passenger of a an invisible boat....so here hubby is driving around (on his screen anyway) and my character (Jen) is sort of doing the "squat" over the rushing waves!  All I could think about was the old episodes of Wonder Woman and her invisible jet (but you could still see her???) zooming in the sky.  Yeah, I giggled a little.  The glitches can get pretty annoying.  The other night hubby got his tank blown up and when he sprang back up his health didn't regenerate...it just stayed at 1 with that annoying red overlay on the screen.  He tried to get killed, tried picking up health packs...nothing worked.  The only fix was to quit and join back up.  I can see why it didn't get very good ratings.  Its definitely not Halo or COD...no long lasting MP playability but it fits the bill for getting me by 'till the next game.  Very glad I didn't shell out $120 for the two games it would have taken for us to play this one.  However, its just so much fun to destroy everything and I mean EVERYTHING!  Hijacking vehicles of every sort...running over pedestrians (totally by accident).  Not to mention hear everyone say "Hey it's that Merc that got shot in the a**!"  We are about at 50% complete...I'd like to finish the game but I'm fighting a nasty head cold and staying up late every night is begining to get to me.  We have to return it in two days, and although we could rent it again SWFU comes out early next week.  Maybe I should just take that time to catch up with Halo and get some zzzz's. 

 

I thought of you when I saw this one Flap...I know there not but pancakes but I know I know what to get you for birthday!  LOL!

I've had that bloodshot screen in Mercs2 as well, it happens most often in co-op. It seems like if i'm hosting and get down to that 1 health, it sits there for a long long time but then it instantly pops up to 90%. So you're actually healing, you just have to put up with that damn bloodshot screen until you hit 90% or so and then it goes away. It is annoying, probably the most annoying glitch in the game because it screws with the screen and the sound.

Tank - the only thing with our "healing screen" incident was that it lasted.....for minutes....we kept thinking that it would refresh it self with health paks or he could get killed and get out of that screen but no such luck. Eventually he just backed out and joined back up. No more problems.
