Turns out that the rumors were true! Barack Obama and Sarah Palin are indeed coming to Mercenaries 2: World in Flames as playable characters in an upcoming update. X-Play landed the exclusive story and snagged some extra footage for us. They just had to set it to Hail to the Chief. Barack Obama and Sarah Palin in Mercenaries 2 Watch this Video Adam Sessler and Morgan Webb revealed the news just moments ago on X-Play in the Gaming Update. Tom Stratton of Pandemic Studios gave the following statement to X-Play: "Mercenaries 2 is a game seemingly ripped straight out of today's headlines and fueled with the same type of over-the-top action found in the best summer blockbuster films. It only makes sense we inject the game with a spin on current affairs. The timing was too good to let pass. Check out the Gaming Update after the break if you missed it on X-Play.

wow, i gotta get this game, lol this is going to be hilarious, lol obama climbing on that tank made me crack up so bad, nice find, ive never heard about this, so its good i was informed
I lol'ed when I heard Palin grunt as she opened up the chopper's door. This might make me play the game again.
WTF!!! When I clicked the link I made making sure this wasn't some kind of cruel joke or maybe a link to a Rick Roll video. Could this be true I'm still asking myself when I sit here typing. I still don't think this is possibe; even through, I watched the video and checked everything I still find it hard to beleave. I doubt they will agree to something like this to appear in any game like this. Maybe this is why they delayed the release of the total payback DLC. I can only wait and listen on when this happens so I can be on-line to check out all the new things they will have to play with.
I thought this was a joke, lol. I didn't know you could use an image of someone in a video game without their consent....and I doubt either of them did. I hope it happens though!
