Calling all creative types: EA Montreal is putting on a second weapon design contest, this time for Army of Two: The 40th Day.
Starting today, users can submit an image of their original weapon to be implemented into "a future EA game" along with a short description of said weapon. From there, the Army of Two community will vote on their favorites, and then the developers of The 40th Day will choose one winner from North America, and one from Europe.
It's strange that the contest calls for weapons that would fit the Army of Two universe while also specifically stating that the winning entries will be considered for use in an upcoming EA title, not necessarily The 40th Day. Perhaps I'm looking into this too much, though, and the wording is simply the result of some legal mumbo jumbo.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Original Weapon ideas? Because military themed third-person shooters featuring cover systems just scream innovation. Here's an original idea. What about spending the funds accrued through mercenary work to develop weaponry that can be used to NOT MURDER PEOPLE FOR PROFIT SO YOU CAN GET A JEWEL ENCRUSTED GUN OR A FANCY TV YOU TOSSERS!
Or a weapon that allows the two lead characters to use their awkwardly placed jock humour designed to veil their intense sexual frustrations regarding each other in order to power a gun which, due to the massive levels of energy this certain condition can reach in the first game will cause everyone on the face of the earth to momentarily see the All-Father before evaporating into blissful luminescence.
Wait, Army of Two? Then original idea; A gun that's -blue-...
The game was AWFUL! For a game built for co-op it was dreadful. Then again, yes, I did buy a launch copy based on the hype... only to sell it a few days later before others found out how awful the game was.
(and I know that some people did enjoy this game... but for me it was one of the biggest let downs in hypedom ever! I actually liked HAZE better than this game!)
This is just getting ridiculous, but... finally i will be able to see my fire-rocket-bee launcher in action.
Genius. That's the first time I can write LOL on the 'tubes and actually literally mean it :)
What prevents you from suggesting that idea for this game? It's a weapon I think we've all been asking for.
then upgraded double barrel dildo shooter
then a gold plated shooter>!!!
*sigh* not quite
There's still time to save this game from the moron critics with no sense of humor or too little balls to admit to liking things that are awesome. But it's up to us to do it.
I completely agree.
