yhe whole thing has COOP in mind. I mean look at the freaking title.

what do you mean by MP? online coop, or 16+ player online multi?

I watched the trailer you can dowload on live, adn it's freaking hilarious.

the trailer looks great, i can't wait to play a demo.

like i said in a post last night, it looks like it could be the bridge between your traditional FPS (say, Rainbow Six) and your next-gen FPS (say, GoW).

...I, basically, meant what you said... I hope in Multiplayer it's NOT going to be just 2 on 2... since the title is "Army of Two"

I can see them including 4 on 4, but not much more than that.

4 on 4 would be cool... that's how it is in "GOW"... though, I like 16 on 16 on "GRAW" BUT more people, more chance of having idiots playing

i dont like games more then 5v5, 4v4 being ideal.

the only game i've ever played where i liked having LARGE groups of people was Battlefield...

16 player deathmatch is lame.

See something like that could work out.. but maybe not 16 players.. Since what it looks like the game is based on is you and a partner do the missions, they could have a multiplayer where you go against other people. 2v8 could be good, as the 8 would be real players and could provide more of a challenge than the AI.

I saw the trailer last night... looks good, just seems like a more realistic version of Gears of War...

I loved Gears versus a regular FPS, the over the shoulder camera is nice.

I need to play the demo but I don't see it on Live

I can't dish out $60 for a game I might not play, I did that with Mass Effect.

yeah, me too... the days where I run out and buy a new game just because it's new are over... that was dumb... I might look into Frontlines-Fuel of War tho... I hear good things about it (well, from a friend anyway). But for sure... Rainbow Six-Vegas 2... in about a week

LMAO, my cousin came over and was like "lets rent it" he is playing it right. I don't like it but I don't like most games. Only games I tend to play are Halo, GTA, and Call of Duty.

Supposed to be OK, just not as good as COD4.

If you like co-op it would probably be worth picking up.

Game sucks to me
But I am jaded by COD4
Plus I also think Gears of War sucks, I hate third person view when trying to shoot people.

Finally had a chance to play this last night. This game is great, but it must be played with a human partner. I played the first level with the AI controlling my teammate, but it was awkward. My friend jumped on and we blasted thru the first 4 levels. The game doesn't work if you run thru and disregard your partner, you have to work together or you die. That is the best aspect of it. In COD4, you basically all go your separate ways and try to get as many kills as possible, you cant do that here.

Graphic wise, the game looks really good. Your characters are very detailed. The gun sounds are a little weak, but thats not too bad, i'm sure with a nice surround sound setup, it will be better. The controls are good, everything is easy to do, you never have to think about what to press.

If you like team co-op games, I'd say you will definitely love this game. Can't wait to try the multiplayer

How's the language in it? My ten year old really wants to get it because he'd much rather play co-op with me than play against me.

basically its two guys who make light of killing people

COD4 campaign is serious and shoes horrible consequences. Army of 2 is 2 guys shooting people then rocking out on air guitars. I wouldnt get it for a 10 year old but then again I am not a parent.

They say things like f*ck, sh!t, b!tch, etc.... they talk smack to each other, and to other characters, and make fun of things too. I downloaded the demo last night.

Yeah, that was my impression from the trailers. I'm going to disappoint him on this one though I do let him play COD4 and HL2.
