Army of Two Takes You Into the Heart of Mexico's Drug War in The Devil's Cartel

I didn't see any fist-bumps, but these guys are named Alpha and Bravo, so I expect there will be at least a few "bro!" utterances in there somewhere.

@ArcLyte: You remember how EA used to butcher every fucking company they could get their hands on? Yeah they're doing that again.

Also this trailer is everything that is wrong with the world. That "permission"-joke was so bad, it nearly killed me.

@Tennmuerti: I'd love to know the reason why they cut those characters. This is still a sequel to 40th Day after all.

So when will people become enraged that they are only killing Mexicans in Mexico like when RE5 got in trouble for killing black people in Africa?

There's been MANY games set in Mexico where you just kill Mexicans all day, and they seriously don't give 2 shits about any of them.

Well, at least in this case, I expect the politicians bitch about it for 3 days and then forget. Still, the game should do a better job portraying the conflict than Call of Juarez The Cartel.

Well the people demanded another Army of Two game. I think these people exist in a parallel universe though.

@iAmJohn: Extremely ironic how you consider this series a "joke" and yet you think House of the Dead and Motorstorm are somehow two top-notch series. The reason devs make these games is because people buy them. Same goes for the garbage you consider good. All personal preference.

Translation: I don't like something you posted on the internet. Let me do some internet detective work into the things you like so I can insult them to prove some facile point and make me feel better about myself.

PS: Thanks for getting me the 1,000 Profile Views quest, though!

PPS: I'd venture a guess and say there isn't a single place you will find me saying that I think Motorstorm is a "top notch" series (whatever that means) in spite of how much I really like Pacific Rift and Arctic Edge.

To heck with the game, I want this trailer to be turned into a Direct to DVD movie starring Luke Goss and Taylor Kitsch with Danny Trejo as the main leader of the Devil's Cartel with Sean Bean randomly hanging around as the super cliche "White Guy Who is Really in Control But Doesn't Want to Get His Hands Dirty."

With Ron Perlman as "Voice of the Army of Two's Superior."

I was just thinking to myself the other day about another Army of Two game. Surprised they're still making these games though... I didn't think they were popular enough to warrant 3 games.

It feels like EA is only keeping this series alive so they can have a Gears of War rival while forgetting the reasons why Gears was good.

I have a weird feeling that this game is going to be ok. I just can't believe they would offer up a third game in this series if they didn't have some real confidence in their ideas. But maybe i'm crazy, this is the same company which buried MOH.

This looks like it might entice the kind of douche bag audience they've been courting since the original, but man I don't like the direction theyre going in, and I didn't even really like the other games to begin with.

I liked the first 2... They were ok games and I don't think they warrant all the hatred. But, having strong opinions on games that don't matter is the internet thing to do right?
