Excited for the Army of Two sequel? Well, some of you are. I'm always up for another co-op game to play with my friends at home. Well, now we've got a bunch of screens and the teaser trailer ready from E3 for all of you. At the same time, I'd like to remind you of our preview from back in March.
Readers, I've got a task for you in the comments: try and sell someone on Army of Two. I mean, yeah, it sold some two million copies, so a lot of people bought it, but I know it left a bad taste in many a mouth. So, for the unknowing masses, why should we buy it?
And, for all of you to enjoy, the teaser trailer is sitting right after the jump. Click away!
I would play it just for the co-op experience itself. I enjoyed the first game because it really required another buddy to help you get through the game, and not making games can accomplish that. This and Resident Evil 5 are the only games I've ever considered as well as enjoyed playing with a friend.
1)I really liked the gun variety in the first game. Seeing as I am a gun nut (inb4 Fallout 3), I really liked using some of my my favorite rifles on some terrorist scum. Also, the masks were sweet.
2) Punching terrorists in the nuts with a buddy is too fun.
3) It actually had the balls to use 9/11 as a story catalyst. That deserves some props IMO, Six Days in Fallujah- style.
Also, humor, action, bromance, stealth, explosions, customizations, zoos, and aggro. Add it up and you get one hell of a mindless fun time! What more can one ask for?
Army of Two is fucking great! It's a solid shooter (if a bit generic) that is over-flowing with ridiculous bromance comedy. If you haven't played it yet you should really grab a copy now (it's cheap) and bring a friend to play it the way Atheist God intended.
It's an hilarious good time. If they don't tone down the frat boy bro antics the sequel should be a day one purchase. Otherwise beware, as it'll just be another brownish military shooter. Sure the co-op will still be fun, but EA doesn't make it fun to play with your friends.
Army of Two fist pumping, lead filling, dark hummoring, bad guy killingest bromantic game so if you have friends or a plutonic life partner, or lack thereof get off your ass or friends ass get some friends and get the game.

Seriously tho, I really enjoyed the aggro meter aspect of the game that was akin to playing a really cut down gun mmo. Tank, tank, who is the tank?
