EA's Army of Two

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the change-of-pace dept.

EA today confirmed the existence of a much-anticipated next-gen title, Army of Two. From the Eurogamer article: "Army of Two 'will throw gamers into hot spots ripped from current day headlines,' says EA, where they will use two-man strategies and tactics, transitioning between playing with an AI partner or a live player. We're told that EA's wanted to make this for ages, but until now it's felt that the hardware couldn't deliver a suitably believable co-operative AI player."

    Tom Clancy's Army of Three will revolutionize the tactical shooter in the same way Rainbow 6, Rogue Spear, Ghost Recon, and Splinter Cell have.

  5. Hopefully this sets a standard by iridium_ionizer · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are only a hanful of recent games that impliment a well-made co-op mode. For the past 3 years this has been a feature that everyone has been clamoring for, so it's nice to hear that a mega-studio will emphasize this to such a degree. I can only hope that other games will put in this type of option.

    I hope it allows split screen offline co-op and not just online multiplayer.

    How can a game that was just officially announced be "much anticipated"?
