Electronic Arts has released a new trailer for Mercenaries 2: World in Flames, an explosive open-world action game set in a massive, highly reactive, war-torn world.

Mercenaries 2 features the latest and most dangerous in civilian and military tech, everything from shiny new sports cars, to the future-tech satellite-guided bunker-busting mini-nuke. Tanks, APCs, boats, luxury automobiles – you name it, you can have it delivered to you in real time. And if you run out of cash you can always 'acquire' the gear you need in the field.
