Army of Two
polycounter lvl 18
I guess it comes out today. Gonna pick it up. It looks pretty sexy so hopefully everything I heard about it is true.
Anyone here play it yet? Work on it?

I'll probably rent the game first. Does look cool though.
i want to know why, with all that production value, they did not pay for motion capturing. it just does not make sense.

That statement just comes off as odd to me. Where are you coming from on this?
i don't care how talented someone is, they cannot make Star Wars using just mspaint.
And just as one nice reference for ya, TF2 is 100% hand keyed animation.
Anyways, more on topic... I was really disappointed when I heard this doesn't have local co-op. Assuming that's true I'll have to give it a rent to see if I get it, cause that's what I was really looking forward to.
Adam - I had no idea you guys did the MP for this, I'll have to check that out.

BIG factor in my game decisions these days. I play PC games for multiplayer, but not always for the online multi. I play console games to get 2-3-4 people sitting around my TV to play out some game in a social situation. And sometimes we don't feel like fighting each other. SADLY I think Local Co-Op is a dying breed. I wish it wasn't so overlooked.
Can you at least play coop over LAN?

Just got back from the store with two copies of Army of Two, my mind already blossoming with mercenary exploits, when it suddely became clear that the game has no local play option. No local play option. Even on the same Goddamned LAN, both accounts need to be Gold Tier Live accounts. You seriously have got to be fucking kidding me.

That's fucking bullshit. I'm not buying the game just because of that. I was already on the fence because I still haven't reserved SSBB but after reading that there's no way I'll buy it.
i think it's interesting how much overlap the game shares with Kane and Lynch, and how much better K&L would have faired by comparison if only that game had had the same kind of extra polish-up time that Army of Two enjoyed. but it's some solid co-oping, which is all i was signing up for.
I hope it's not as DUMB as Turok

Ouch, my sides.
Online co-op was fun and ran very well. We played on rookie so we will probably take a run at the professional difficulty. When you beat the game you unlock weapons. So thats kinda nice.
It does have split screen by the way like gauss said.
I'm waiting for someone to write up a weapon guide, it kind of stinks when you save up all this money for a new gun only to realize you don't like it.
I also would like to know if the gun shields add any protection or they're just there to increase the aggro you generate.
Right now I've got an AUG with the best supressor, 60 round clip, best stock and underbarrel shotgun - I typically go for the sneak around shotgun blast. I have the P90 for my sidearm and it seems respectable.
i have the aug and the starting gun fully tricked out, and have the saw fully tricked out, tho the saw was too inacurate for me, i soon went back to the aug.
the no local multi does not bother me, i've never played a game with that any ways.
I think the games a blast when playing co-op. Local play doesn't bother me either. My wife wont play these games lol....
The biggest weakness is imho the bad leveldesign which often leaves the players not knowing where to go. Good leveldesign would have also supported the teamwork a little more.
Anyone here who want's to play it on sunday? (coop xbox live)
There are so many dead ends which just distract from the right way.
Anyway, it's a lot of fun, and in the end, that's what matters when it comes to co-op
Personally I think the game is great! As long as you play with an open mind and have someone to play with this game is a blast. Sure there are plenty of issues here and there, but overall we are having a ton of fun.
My crits so far is that I wish there was some sort of burst run to cover ground. And the switching weapon controls are a little weird. I haven't found a reason to switch with my partner much either.
The whole time we played we only found 1 instance where we needed to co-op snipe...is there some other purpose for it?
Back to back is awesome fun haha
I like the GPS...it helps get back on track and since we were talking a lot online we missed a lot of the dialog so weren't 100% sure of our missions all the time.
From an artist standpoint I think there is some stuff that just looks great, and some things that were a little lacking. The environments are pretty sharp and I'm glad your "eyes" adjust to dark rooms quickly and they become lit. Haven't seen that much in games.
The cave stuff looks pretty bad lol but so far only seen a little of that.
My suggestion - get a friend, talk shit about it, and have fun. Good times.
slight spoiler
later on you are on the hovercraft in an area with a lot of big waves splashing you around in a hurrican, its great
Curious if anyones played much of the Multiplayer?
I was really sad about the ending...not really climactic at all and it just sorta stops abruptly. Was hoping to fight that guy in the helo =\
My only real pet peave overall was the sniper ammo. I understand that special weapons shouldn't have a ton of ammo, but when they make a feature called "co-op snipe" and 1) you never use it and 2) there isn't much sniper ammo, it sucks for those of us who enjoy the sniping in games.
I feel bad for the programmers and coders and artists who did all that co-op snipe and it's essentially useless (From what I saw...if anyone can correct me let me know....Even the mission in Somolia where they mention you should do it I just blasted with my rifle and blew up the tank...no sniping required.)
Overall good times. I would have wished they could tell you what sort of ammo is on the ground so my teammate and I could ration out our ammo pickups,,,otherwise it's all random.
Good game though overall and good fun. Play with a friend!!
