Mercenaries is free-roaming supposedly to an amazing extent. There's a huge environment, any vehicle can be stolen (Including tanks and helicopters) and tons of missions can be taken. You have a cash budget so you can buy weapons and vehicles as well as call in supply drops, weapon drops and vehicle deliveries (In the demo you could call in an anti-infantry vehicle wherever you wanted it).
Dactrius, don't take this personally or anything but it seems a little one sided or maybe thinkin with tunnel vision when ya say you're not sure why people are bothered by no multiplayer in this new Mercenaries game.

Some gamers me in particular have a lot of time on our hands and the online play of games is another form of instant entertainment.
Single player games are cool, to a point, then the replay value diminishes IMO and if online play is included in a game like it could have been with this one then a gamer gets the best of both worlds, if ya enjoy single player action ya got it, if ya like to practice offline in single player mode then go online to play with real gamers ya got that also.

Nothin wrong at all with wantin the most and best of both worlds, now wouldn't ya agree about that

I'm very interested in gettin my issue of OPM so I can check out this demo, thanks for the input here.
