Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (2008)

Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an open-world third-person shooter video game developed by the now defunct Pandemic Studios (known for games like Full Spectrum Warrior or The Saboteur).

The game was released by Electronic Arts in 2008 for the PC, Xbox 360, PS2 and PS3 platforms.

The following weapons appear in the video game Mercenaries 2: World in Flames:
