The weapon customization in the first AO2 was great fun, but this looks freaking awesome!

I wish developers would stop touting their "customization" systems as though they were gameplay.
 
 
Anyway, this game seems a bit old hat now. Enemies invading Shanghai? Really? Why Shanghai?

and, geez, talk about shooting a dead elephant, Ryan!

Looks cool, I like the gun customising and there is still some nice safe bro-ing so that sounds good.

I like all the weapon customization options - that was a good design choice.  The environment looks detailed and unique, which is also a plus.  And the shooting action seems improved over the first game too.  Maybe this could be a decent game??

For all the flaws the first game had, it was still a ton of fun playing through with mates. I am definitely looking forward to this.

I'm glad they still have fist bumping in the game.  I was disapointed when they were all serious and said "no more fist bumping".

I bet if you play the game you will find out. Like why are dudes fighting in Brazil in MW2 you have to play to find out.

Oh dear o dear, another 3rd person shooter using the same old unreal engine and not doing a very good job of it. Game lucks dull, been there done that already, hit that switch a 1000 times. Whoever is playing the game doesn't do a good job selling it, although I can't blame him. I wish there were less games like this on the market, I see nothing innovative at all. It's all been done before.
 
I mean come on, the dude even says now you can move left and right while in cover!! Wow...just throw in a copy of Gears 1 which you can buy for around 10 bucks and you'll have yourself a game which is so much more polished, more fun, and cheaper.

I'm sure that weapon customization they implemented seemed awesome on paper but man! It manages to produce some of the worst looking, unlikely working, most impractical guns I ever saw!

Obviously the game isn't finished but the framerate seemed really dodgy, which is strange since Unreal engine has been around for a while and can definitely run smoothly on 360. Also looking at the various component combos shown, they didn't seem to change the stats of the weapon very much which leads me to think that weapon customization may be more of a cosmetic feature rather than a truly game-changing feature.

I didn't play much of the first one (Didn't seem like anything special) but they were trying to be cocky as hell saying it was 10x better than Gears... sorry guys not so much, release a demo that will sway me then we will talk.

I do not see what has changed form the first game? The AI seems a dumb as a box of hammers. sorry there are too many new IP's / games coming out this fall to bother with Army Of Two 2.

I didn't like the original but this looks pretty fun. I appreciate the guy doing the quicklook giving reasons behind certain changes and things of that nature. It looks a helluva lot better than Gears 2 which it's basically emulating from a framework perspective. I'll give it a shot.

Looks a lot better than the first one. Especially the more focused gameplay and colourfull scenarioes looks promosing. The customazition-part seems like a complete waste of time though, and the AI is so far garbage

It is OK for some games to be linear.
