In celebration of the launch of Mercenaries 2: World in Flames from Pandemic Studios, EA is giving away FREE GAS! On Friday, August 29th, before the North American launch, Pandemic Studios will take over a gas station located at 8489 Beverly Blvd in Los Angeles giving PETROL TO THE PEOPLE, FOR FREE!
The Petrol to the People event will feature Mercenaries 2 branding all around the gas station, promotional flyers being handed out to consumers and will even feature actors dressed up as Mercenaries pumping gas.
Mercenaries 2: World in Flames is an open-world action game set in Venezuela - a lightening rod in the global debate around energy policy and oil production. The games story is ripped from today’s headlines.
The story of the game is set in a world where countries rich in oil have found new power. That power corrupts, and in Venezuela, corruption has sparked a political coup. A power hungry tyrant uses Venezuela’s oil supply to overthrow the government and turns the country into a war zone. Players step into the role of a mercenary for whom politics doesn’t matter.
The entire event will be webcasted live on Break.com at www.break.com/mercenaries2 beginning at 6am PST.
WHY: To launch Mercenaries 2: World in Flames (http://www.pandemicstudios.com/mercenaries/index.php) for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 2
