Army of Two is a new game with a focus on cooperative and coordinated strategies. The game is labeled a co-op .
Players will join up with either the game's built-in "Partner
Artificial Intelligence" (PAI) or other players "to fight through war,
political turmoil, and a conspiracy so vast it threatens the entire
world."Army of Two has been designed to necessitate teamwork, from its environments and their loads of
physics-based obstacles to its small army of enemies (up to 50 on
screen at once)
According to Gamespot,
the game will allow a great deal of weapon customization, with a gun
range to test these customizations out on: "We got a quick look at the
kinds of weapons you can buy which include all manner of pistols,
shotguns, and assault rifles. What's crazy is the level of
customization you can apply to the guns. Swap out and swap in different
stocks, red-dot sights, scopes, tactical flashlights, underslung
grenade launchers, silencers, grip handles, extra-large magazines, new
barrels—anything you can imagine seems to be available for you to use
in this game. You can even chrome your gun with gold trim if you like,
or customize a strategic silenced weapon. A handy firing range feature
lets you immediately test out your new toy."
EA is working hard to integrate interesting multi-player actions into the game. Expected multi-player tricks include:
1. Boost: one person stands up against wall and holds hands out while person two gets lifted up. Second person can then reach down and pull first person up.
2. Rappeling: one person holds rope while other one scales down side of building.
3. Back to Back: Both players go back to back to cover each other's non-armored backsides.
4. Makeshift cover: Players can tip over tables, and other objects to create cover. Players can also pick cover up and carry around with them. Car doors can be ripped off to provide a shield.
5. Death: Player that died will have to run away from "the
light" while the other player goes through a button-mashing sequence to
perform CPR.
8. Driving: All vehicles need one player to drive and the other to man the turret. Known vehicles are hovercrafts, jeeps, and forklifts.
9. Ammo: If one player runs out of ammo, the other player can give him part or all of his magazine.
