Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=77057) goes one-on-one with Pandemic's Scott Warner and comes away with some pretty sweet tidbits about the upcoming military sandbox title.
Eurogamer: What level of environmental damage are we going to be seeing this time around, and how will impact the gameplay? And will destroyed structures respawn?
Scott Warner: With the exception of terrain and water everything in Mercenaries 2 can be destroyed. Most objects in the game will respawn over time but some key places and things, once destroyed, will remain destroyed throughout the course of the game as a testament to the player's destructive capacity!
Eurogamer: Any particularly tasty new additions to the arsenal that we should know about?
Scott Warner: We've added quite a few new vehicles, weapons and air strikes. The player will be able to pilot boats throughout the water areas of the Mercenaries 2 which is an entirely new class of vehicles added to the Mercenaries franchise. The Daisy Cutter and MOAB air strikes bring a whole new dimension to support options in the game: you'll able to use either of these to clear out large sections of foliage cover! All in all there are hundreds of new vehicles and dozens of new weapons and support items! Mercenaries 2: World in Flames will be released for the PC, PS3, Xbox 360, and PS2 later this year.
