BF2S Forums [Army of two] PS3/360

Army of Two (AO2 or Ao2) is a co-op third-person shooter with a focus on cooperative and coordinated strategies. 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." Story details are vague at the moment, but the game has been designed to necessitate teamwork; some missions may be close to impossible to complete without cooperation with the PAI.

Online Multiplayer

According to GameSpot, the mode allows up to four players, two on each team similar to the co-op structure of the main campaign. Both teams will compete over objectives on the map such as assassinating a VIP or destroying an objective in order to earn the most money for their side. At the same time, they will also be forced to deal with the opposing team in order to secure their objectives. In the interview, the developer has stated that "The biggest challenge was to convey the co-op experience in a multiplayer match. We didn't want to go with the typical deathmatch mode. We have a variety of modes that really capture the essence of co-op gameplay. You'll have to watch each other's backs and work together to defeat the opposing team. "

With the money you win from matches you can buy weapons just as in the campaign mode, similar to the type of multiplayer shop systems used in titles such as Counter-Strike: Source or more recently, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men's "Fragile Alliance." Character customization for online play also appears to be possible from the multiplayer screenshots taken by GameSpot. The online mode will still take full advantage of co-op maneuvers and offer exclusive vehicles not found in the campaign mode.
