Pandemic talks Mercenaries 2: no vs. multiplayer

Eurogamer recently sat down with Scott Warner, Pandemic's lead designer for Mercenaries 2. We don't get a ton of new info on the game, but it's interesting nonetheless. One nugget that was revealed is that while most areas will respawn after they've been destroyed, there are certain areas that will remain in tatters after you've blown them to smithereens. The game will feature hundreds of new vehicles including boats, a first for the series. There's bad news for multiplayer fans though, as there are no plans for any competitive multiplayer. Mercenaries 2 will, however, feature online co-op. Hit the "read" link for the full interview.
There is no mention of Bono in the interview by the way, though we expect he was -- as always -- lurking in the shadows.

I was hoping it would have split-screen co-op. At least I have Army of Two to look forward to, right?
Right? D:

they had better not cop out and not put in split-screen
thats one of the most enjoyable things
its not only about playing online and siting there alone
that sucks

it was gone then i walked toward the explosion site and it nearly crushed me when i fianlly came down 7 seconds later
amazingly cursingly wicked
