Wow, I thought they said the MOAB was the biggest bomb in the game. This is going to be so freaking sweet.

@1.2 This is the biggest you can call on command, though =)

The explosion in Resistance 2 when you kill the Cloverfield monster will be bigger

It was big yea but was not impressed simply because it's unrealistic how you say? Well everything around him should of been caught in a nuclear sonic boom, a shockwave that would of collapsed/vaporized everything. This could be compared to a PS2 game where you toss a grenade at a table full of stuff and when it explodes, nothing on the table moves nor is the table damaged. Now had everything started to distenergrate and the guy having his skin melt off dying in a horrible, gruesome fashion then yes that would be totally awesome.

Exactly that is why up-close nuclear explosions dont work and are unnecessary. I mean the mini nuke in FALLOUT 3 is alright but a full scale nuke and being able to stare up at it like that is just laughable and overkill unless you tell me he is a Super Sayajin then I'll be inclined to believe.

3.3 - um yea...
it's still just a video game. I think it's cool. I believe the game you should get would be operation flash point or something.

this game looks promising, and you can blow everything up :D

just wish they had clothing options, and less cliche war characters.

If it acted and exploded more like a nuke, I'd be visibly impressed. Not only was he 50 yards away from the explosion and called it in via smoke, it seemed to appear in a (literal) flash of light. Not how I want to see a nuke set off. If there's a blast of wind, a huge shockwave, and everything within at least a quarter of a mile is flattened by the forces of those two things combined, then yeah. Maybe. Let's just hope that was an incomplete prerelease nuke.

Either way... Mercs 2 will still be awesome.

World in Conflict's tactical nuke was more impressive.

The smoke and radiation effects and the crater left behind is simply stunning.

The main character better not be that close in the real game. That just ruins the realism if you are that close and live. The shock wave alone would kill you.
