Jimmy James 70 Says: Has anyone achieved $1 billion in Mercenaries 2? I’m not talking about earning $1 million. That’s easy. I’m not even talking about earning $20 million. That doesn’t take too long either. I’m talking about $1 billion. Dollars. That’s one more dollar than $999,999,999.00. That’s a lot of completed missions, successful wagers from your comrades, and bonuses. How long does it take to earn this milestone in gaming? What does it take to earn $1 billion? This is the quantity of money the US Government spends . If you earned this Achievement, I would love to hear from you.While grinding away at my billion dollars (currently at $11 million with 58% of the game complete—pathetic—I know), I still love this game. I have no idea why. It’s simple. The graphics are good to decent. The game play is a bit repetitive, but there’s enough diversity to keep things moving. It does take a long time to go from point A to point B, but if you hijack a helicopter, you can move along a little quicker. The one-liners and quips are limited, but for some reason I don’t really seem to mind. I just keep having fun with this game no matter how many hours I put into it.
I started playing this game several months ago when I got it from Goozex for 1000 points. A couple weeks later, I accidentally traded it back, and got my 1000 points back. I decided I wanted to finish the game, and own a copy, so I bought it off eBay for $30. This is the second time I bought a game off eBay, and both times I received games in excellent condition. Mercenaries 2 is still worth 900 points on Goozex. The game is keeping its value, and it should, it’s a good-to-great game.
No matter how many times I hijack a helicopter or a tank it never gets old. No matter how many times I borrow a sport bike from a civilian, and travel at high speeds on the highway, it does not get old. Grabbing a light machine gun off a dead UP merc doesn’t get old. And best of all, launching air strikes against ground targets is awesome: fighting your way to the building, planting the artillery beacon, booking it out of there, and then turning around just in time to watch the mortars fall, ultimately bringing the building down in a cloud of dust and explosions. Awesome. Simply awesome.
My only real regret is that I did not start with the first Mercenaries, which is backwards compatible with the 360, and is currently worth 150 points on Goozex.

This was such a fun game. I was originally not give it a chance, but once I got into the game, I was hooked.
It is just so much fun to be destructive. Plus, when you add in the fact that you can bring entire skyscrapers to the ground, you have a winner on your hands.
Hi Jimmy,
I'm the person that got your Merc2 from Goozex. I've been watching your blog since. I think I am up near 30mil. The way I save up cash is by almost never buying anything. I sometimes steal a chopper and will just fly around picking up 100k bundles. But the really quick way to earn cash is to play the winch game with your chopper pilot. Its not hard, you don't have to stack too high and I think you can get up around 5mil for each completion (at level 3). I prefer to just play the game and do the missions. Its been alot of fun. Finding the 'spare parts' is annoyingly difficult at times as there is nothing to let you know its nearby so you literally have to look everywhere. Something else I just noticed is you get a bonus for blowing up billboards. The other night I went around and blew up around 40 billboards. I don't know if they respawn when you load a save file. But I was making decent cash just destroying those.
Anyways, definitely a fun game. At times it gets a bit repetative. And do we ever get to fly planes!?! I am doing missions for China right now and still don't have any planes, and the 360 dashboard icon keeps showing a A-10 Warthog that I'd love to use to blow up some tanks =)
i just do the helicopter wager at full bid. It's really easy to complete under the timelimit and the more you up the anty, the higher the anty will go. So bid the full amount on level 3 and you'll make millions in just under 2 minutes. ... rinse and repeat
This is easily attainable. If you do the helicopter box stacking missions and DO NOT RAISE THE WAGER, then the wager will increase each time you do it. If you raise the wager yourself, it will get capped at 5 million. If you dont, it will get auto-set to a percentage of your total cash (5% if I remember correctly). By the end I was getting about 45 million for a mission that takes about 45 seconds.
