Background

Mercenaries is a revolutionary third-person combat-action game that delivers the next level of free-form gameplay in massive interactive environments. The game gives players the opportunity to take on the role of a soldier for hire in an open-ended world. Mercenaries is set in North Korea in the near future, where a coup has plunged the troubled nation into chaos. An elite private military company, Executive Operations, has dispatched a mercenary to track down the "deck of 52" fugitive members of the old hardliner regime - before they can launch a nuclear attack. The nonstop action within Mercenaries is heightened by the integration of the Havok physics engine, making everything within the environment act and react as it would in real life.
In the game, players choose to be one of three mercenaries: an American ex-soldier, a British secret agent, or a Swedish bounty hunter. Each playable character has unique strengths and weaknesses that affects gameplay. For example, characters demonstrate increased expertise such as stealth, speed, or sniping allowing for unique interactions with the international factions, including China, North Korea, and the Russian Mafia. Players choose to make enemies or form alliances with these factions in order to obtain new vehicles and weaponry and unlock new bonus missions that are specific to each faction.

Gameplay

Mercenaries takes on a free-roam approach to the battlefield, from the beginning of the game you are free to go around and continue in the game by accepting contracts, or perhaps you could go out and get some cash by collecting bounties, or anything. You are free to steal cars, jeeps, tanks, APC's and even helicopters, there are over 20 weapons including anit-air RPG's, SMG's and Sniper Rifles. Every contract offers a diverse and original objective, adding new elements of gameplay each time, in one mission you might be required to fend off enemies platoons and you can do so by any means necessary, so really you are welcome to find your own diverse and original ways of completing contracts.
