Weapon design contests are all the rage these days. Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time recently had one and now Army of Two: The 40th Day is jumping in the ring. The first Army of Two had a similar contest as well.
One lucky winner will get their weapon in the game. All you have to do is submit a picture and a 200 word description on the official Army of Two website. If you want the full rules, check them out there too.
I’m willing to bet a few of you submit rocket launchers that shoot dildos. Some of you might have done so already. You know who you are
I liked the first Army of Two. It wasn’t ground breaking or overly amazing, but it was a fun experience, and that’s what really counts. The sequel looks to bring the dynamic duo into a new war, dubbed “The 40th Day”. I’m sure there’s an interesting back story that we’ll either hear in trailers or find out in the first 10 minutes of the game.
Seems EA dropped the ball somehow with the release of the free Army of Two Map Pack. If you live in North America, you can get the maps today for 360, but not PS3. If you live in Europe, you can get the maps today for PS3 but not 360.
Come on people, what the hell. You announce some free maps, you put out some nice trailers, and now you have a delay that’s more confusing than quantum physics? Why do different systems get it at different times in different locations? You think this would have been worked out by now.
Either way, I don’t think people will be jumping at putting their Army of Two disc back in the system to stop playing GTA or Call of Duty 4. We’ll see though…
Are you playing Army of Two? I think most people have moved on to bigger and better things, but some of you still might be co-oping your way to greatness. According to Unscripted 360, EA Montreal will be bringing a pair of campaign maps our way for the cool price of nothing.
Free maps is always a plus and I think will be received well. It might even pull gamers back from GTA4 or Call of Duty for some more gold coated guns. You know you want that bling.
We had a chance to speak with Matt Turner, Assistant Producer on Army of Two about all things related to EA’s newest coop shooter. From how they came up with the coop concepts to the game’s multiplayer aspects, check out everything we discussed.
[Loot Ninja] This game glorifies the challenging and sheer fun factor of co-op campaign play. Will these missions be strictly run and gun or will the two players have to work as the ultimate team in order to achieve their objective?
[Matt Turner] Rambo’s are not welcome in AO2! It’s really a tactical shooter and the players must use the aggro system to progress through the levels. If you try to run and gun you are going to pay the price…with death! We really wanted to emphasize the coop feel of the game to the point where it becomes a necessity and I think we achieved that.
Army of Two is coming soon. Unfortunately, it’ll ship without tampons for field wounds. I guess that crossed the line. Yeah, anyway. Here’s the opening cinematic to EA’s new co-op masterpiece.
The Iraq war is a pretty sensitive topic for many people. Having a video game set in this current hot zone is pretty controversial, but EA looks ready for whatever may come their way with Army of Two.
The original Army of Two were my testes. The right, Jake Westphal, the left, Dr. Kenneth Noisewater. Apparently, its a new co-op oriented shooter that looks to be a ton of fun, especially for those who prefer co-op to single player such as myself. Usually your NPC counterpart has a severe learning disability.
