Talk:Mercenaries 2: World in Flames

message: Just put a link to Jim Ward (voice actor) for Ramon Solano. It doesn't mention anything on that page about Mercenaries 2, but it could be out of date. Could someone who is certain that it is wrong remove the link or repoint it, and if you're sure I'm right, then could you edit Jim Ward (voice actor) so it has a Mercenaries line in it somewhere. I got Jim Ward from the Mercs2 credits, which can be watched at http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=loByjX8t55Y and it shows 'Jim Ward' at 1.08. E.G Interactive (talk) 23:32, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Just edited the final part of the section of the "plot" i changed it to that not only can Solano can be killed he can also be verified alive if the player character takes good choices throughout the game.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.161.168 (talk) 14:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

message: It says the release date is in October when really the release date  has never been announced. It should be Quarter 4 2007.
:I'd also like to add for future referance: no release date is official until confirmed by Pandemic Studios. Even dates found on sites such as gamespot are only rough estmates. Яussiaп F 02:19, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: No release date

message: Development of the PS2 version of Mercenaries 2 is being done entirely in-house by Houston-based game developer Pi Studios.  This is confirmed on their homepage.  I would add this to the main wiki entry myself, but since I run the company that would be bad form. :)

message: I don't know if this should be added, but in the latest video blog there is a date on the white board "4.16.07" and then I think it is engrave in "soul." Many people think this is important and the community manager has said it might be something important like a wedding or something. There is reason to believe that something pretty big might happen that day but there is not conformation.

I edited the Controversy section, as someone from the ip address '69.44.191.113' changed the line 'criticized by the Venezuelan government' to 'criticized by the Stupid Venisualan government'. This is my first edit, so if I did something wrong, my apologies. Is there somewhere to report this IP address to prevent this from happening again?  PseudonymVoltaire 18:09, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Controversy

message: I'm working on the Bono article and saw this came up.  It's most likely going to be removed from the Bono article because it has little to do with his musical career (90% of his exposure).
But I must ask the same question here.  Why is this even mentioned?  This seems to infer that Bono came up with the idea of the game.  He is just a board member of a parent company.  If we're going to talk about anyone, why not mention the game's writers?  Mentioning Bono seems to have no relevance to me - other than the fact that he is the most famous board member of the parent company. (Someone easier to attack)
I'll be removing this soon unless someone has a good reason as to why it should stay.

message: Clearly somebody got their hands on one of the pre-reserve books and went to town on the article (thank you gamestop). I can tell you which page EXACTLY some of the things I fixed came from, but that's a side note. I would clean up the article myself, but I don't really know how to fix what needs to be fixed, or if it even should just be a general rewrite. I CAN, however, point out what needs halp.
*The gameplay section is basically page-by-page from the prerelase book. I cleaned it up best I could, but an actual rewrite for that section at least would help.
*Plot should be smoothed over a little
*The mercenaries section can be touched up as SOMEBODY has to have the guide by now. I know that has more info on the mercs in it.
*Controversey is fine. It's been there since day one.
*prerelease marketing at this point is ONE TV spot. That can definately be blended into another article.
Anybody that can help with this, I would greatly appreciate it.

message: On the page it currently says: "Ewan Devlin is an Irish helicopter pilot operating in Venezuela. When the player meets him, he is working for Universal Petroleum, but soon joins the player's PMC."  However, on the PS2 version I'm playing, his name is Ewan Garrett (one 't' or two, I'm not sure).  Is it Devlin in the other versions or not?  Some more things I'm not sure about:
:Are we sure he's Irish, because I think he sounds Scottish.
:I don't remember anything about him originally working for Universal Petroleum.
:His voice actor isn't listed, neither is Misha's.
