At E3 I asked Mercenaries 2 lead designer Scott Warner about the whole political controversy of setting a game in Venezuela and he mentioned that it didn`t really impact their design at all but after seeing this trailer you have to wonder if Caesar Chavez isn`t going to raise a fuss about the Americans creating a simulator to help people learn to invade his country. While there`s no obvious connection I do think that people are going to enjoy blowing stuff up in this game and it`s not like you don`t have the option of working for the government forces.

I definitely remember there being a stink about this a while back.

Choice quote from a Chavez supporter: "I think the US government knows how to prepare campaigns of psychological terror so they can make things happen later."
