I was about to send you a friend request, but then I didn't since I couldn't add text and I didn't have my headset handy and I didn't want you to think "who's this yahoo?"
So yeah, I'll send you a friend request- my gamertag is jro3000. I'm liking it a lot on 1P, but I'm sure 2P is far superior.
Your gamerscore > my gamerscore.

From the reviews I have seen, the single player feels tacked on, and is not the focus of the game. The real meat of the game is in the co op. The multiplayer versus mode also feels like GoW in the 2v2 setup.
Hopefully this will be waiting on me when I get home this evening.

That really isn't a problem for me.
I beat Gears of War on all the difficulty levels playing it co-op with a friend.
Does Army of Two have acievements that reward co-op play like Gears did?
Ever since Halo 1 came out i've been in love with Co-Op FPS play.
I have been playing through the PS3 version with my wife. I like it but find the close combat to be a lot harder (for me) than I did with a game like Gears of War.
I haven't tried the online yet but have heard that you can take a guest online with you via split screen, so I may have to check that out.
What type of online game types are there? Is it just 2vs2?

Actually it is really good. You need the other player a lot more than any other war (co-op) game that I can remember. I don't know what Army of two is like playing it with the computer but having a friend next to you works really well.
There is really a lot of strategy with choosing who will draw the ememy fire (glow red). My wife uses a machine gun to draw fire and I have an upgraded shotgun that I like to sneak behind the enemies and take them out. I do die a lot though because I still suck at the really close combat. However, I love the way the healing is done in this game, where the player can drag you out of the way, while you continue to shoot the enemies. I have to believe this works a lot better with a human player as I can't see a computer player being as responsive.
We are on the aircraft stage (4th of 6 stages) and so far I have had a blast with this. I am glad that I rented it though as I am not sure how many times I will play through it. I might check out the online but I have heard it isn't that easy to get into a game.
Pimping out your weapon (gold shot gun) and mask is an awesome feature.
EDIT:I am of course playing local co-op split screen. So, if you are talking about online co-op I really can't comment on that but have to believe it would be pretty good since you would have a screen to yourself. Split screen is really well done though.

This sounds exactly like what I was expecting it to be like. A good game for local co-op. I'm sure online would be great too (co-op). Like I said i'm not really interested in playing the game single player by myself. Everything I've read about the game makes me think that it was really developed with the intent of two people playing it at the same time.
Even the Army of Two demo was multiplayer only!

I played online co-op for a bit. the guy i played with was an idiot though. And as far as I knew their was no voice communication, or he wasn't responding to what i was saying. He literally couldn't figure out how to get past the training part. Not sure if he wasn't paying attention to what it told you to do onscreen or what.
Anyway, i deleted the demo too. But I tried to go out and rent the game, but someone put a PS3 copy of the game in the Xbox 360 case that I rented
Anyway, now i have raincheck to rent Armyof Two for 360 but it's always checked out whenever i go to the video store.Lagduf said:I played online co-op for a bit. the guy i played with was an idiot though.

Well, a rental is the way to go, so I am sure you will have fun with it when you find it. Being able to communicate is huge in this game, so if you played with someone that was not communicating, I am sure it was a disaster.
As you know the game is huge on one player drawing fire, while the other player moves to take out ememy positions. As mentioned, I am playing through this with my wife (now on the last level) and this is the most I have talked during a game. The communication/team work part of this game is what makes it great.
As a one player game or a game with no communication, I have to believe that it sucks.
