Obama and Palin will be playable in Mercenaries 2

October 30, 2008 in News comments 15

Well this is quite odd. Im surprised they can even do this but it is true. You will be able to play as Barrack Obama and Sarah Palin soon in the future for Mercenaries 2. Don't believe me? Click the link to watch a video of it in action.

Turns out that the rumors were true! Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are indeed coming to Mercenaries 2: World in Flames as playable characters in an upcoming update.

Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb revealed the news just moments ago on X-Play in the Gaming Update.

Tom Stratton of Pandemic Studios gave the following statement to X-Play:

"Mercenaries 2 is a game seemingly ripped straight out of today's headlines and fueled with the same type of over-the-top action found in the best summer blockbuster films. It only makes sense we inject the game with a spin on current affairs. The timing was too good to let pass.

As an added bonus, X-Play was able to pass along some more footage, which we tastefully set to Hail to the Chief. Come on... we had to.

      Actually, she would most likely have an AR15 or some other M4 derivative, and probably a 1911 as a sidearm.


      God I love that woman.

      Toasters can, indeed, fire rounds at incoming enemies; however, I disagree with spatulas and skillets. I know for a fact that she will be wearing designer brand armors, however.

    Palin always looks capable of killing someone with her bare hands anyway so no surprise there.

      Global Warming isn't killing the polar bears, Sarah Palin is... with her bare hands.

    Palin's a *bleep*ing soccer mom. The most she'll be armed with is her goddamn maverick speeches and a van full of grandchildren that her stupid slut of a daughter is having.
