anyone getting Army of two March 6th?
Just out of curiosity, who is getting Army of Two? In stores March 6th.
I think I finally decided to skip Frontline, with Vegas 2 coming out in 2 or 3 weeks... but Army of Two might be interesting for a pre-Vegas game...2 man co-op, comedy shooter... still undecided myself...60 bucks is alot for just a couple weeks of fun...Vegas 2, when released will be taking most of my gaming time (PC and 360 version, lol.)Magnum

Re: anyone getting Army of two March 6th?
I am probably going to skip this one, along with Frontlines: Fuel of War, and just wait for the next Rainbow Six. Army of Two’s concept is intriguing and it might end up being a lot of fun, but it’s hard to throw $60 down on a game I might only play for a few weeks. Plus, I have to think this will be one that a lot of players eventually trade and will be easy enough to pick up for much cheaper later to play with a friend or two.

Re: anyone getting Army of two March 6th?
lol, I haven't pre-ordered either, but I plan on getting them regardless... but I've been told its due out tomorrow?
The whole aggro system is intriguing, apparently you'll actually suppress baddies, also grabbing their attention, allowing for flanking maneuvers and such. being a two-man wrecking machine sounds fun (not to mention the social interactions, and the AI)
The whole armored acrobats thing is silly, but I'll over-look it if this aggro thing delivers as its supposed to.|TG|Clodhopper - Intelligence is the key, but I'm locked out!

Re: anyone getting Army of two March 6th?
I love the co-op, but Ill be waiting for some reviews on this one. The lack of hype from EA makes me concerned.

EA seems to over-hype the bad games, this is a good sign!

Re: anyone getting Army of two March 6th?
Looks like the consensus is a solid B. New co-op approach looks like fun, so, I'll be picking it up today (pre-ordered at EB). I've read the reviews below and common impressions are great graphics, fun/innovative co-op, good enemy AI, poor friendly AI (so play co-op instead!), limited single player replay value, greater MP replay value with the release of DLC (game only ships with 4 MP maps and 3 modes).
(I tried to post the links but the system won't let me until I make at least 15 posts.)

i would love to pick this up, but the wife is already likely to beat me severely when I show up with Vegas2. If I bought this as well I would likely not survive

Re: anyone getting Army of two March 6th?
I disagree with all the high reviews... graphics and sounds are great, but SP gets boring fast... same stuff over and over... go find someone, go kill some one, rescue someone, blow up something... get money, buy new toys...repeat... after 3 missions it's pretty much the same thing different location...
MP is a joke... either co-op (which is the best and only great part I see in this), and 2 vs 2 MP...which is not that fun... only 4 maps... and where did you hear there was three modes... just co-op and 2 vs 2 is all I've seen...
Posted screens and comments in the screenshot forum...
I see this coming and going fast... very fast... IMO, unless you have a buddy to play with, and willing to spend 60 bucks for a co-op campaign, then by all means but IMO...save your money and buy something else.

Re: anyone getting Army of two March 6th?
Well, I tried to pick it up today, but when I got there, they told me the warehouse buggerd up the order, or something... they had a lot of angry customers today, heh.
Anyways, got my copy reserved for tomorrow, so I should have it then.|TG|Clodhopper - Intelligence is the key, but I'm locked out!

sounds like a nice rental, if I can get a friend to rent it at the same time.
