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.

I want a mask like that. And no, I won't use it for any shady business. Probably.

Did the second one sell well? I don't understand why this exists. I get the first one, and maybe the second. But at this point the idea of a coverbased third person shooter with co-op is well and truly rote. While I never played any of these games, the consensus seems to be that they're kind of ok but don't really stand out in any fashion, beyond the stupid brofist stuff.

Covering behind oddly placed crates and barrels blocking the way to everything, shooting helicopter, shooting mounted gun from helicopter.

Terrible humor.

Although to be fair, most of the crates and barrels appear to be on pallets. And a fork lift at 1:03. So kudos for the relatively sensible representation of logistics.

Ummm. I don't really have anything truly negative to say about this, but I can't outright say "it looks great!" I'm happy a part of Visceral is making it, and I love the engine they're using, so that's a start.

Quality textures. Quality dialogue. Quality voice acting.

At least Salem and whateverthefuckhisnamewas were bro'ing out all the time in a totally ridiculous way.

That said I'll prob have fun telling my brother "permission granted" in a condescending voice.

It continues to blow my mind that they keep trying with this joke of a series.

@Nardak: I remember reading waaaaay back when the first game was in development that Salem and Rios were designed with Masks because they were supposed to be the stereotypical "Faceless Mooks" that you would encounter in pretty much ever other game in the genre. In-universe they are supposed to be super high-tech and kevlar and what not...which those makes DO exist in real life but no solider would wear them alone.

So yeah, rules of cool and what not.

@MildMolasses: ....Why ya gotta harsh my buzz, man?

Although that Hit-Makers thing sounds interesting in a totally "This is going to be Pre-Order DLC and you know it" kinda way.

Is that Big Boi doing the voice at the very beginning? If so, we're halfway to an OutKast page!

Edit: Yes it is.Sadly that article links to a heartbreaking update on the group

What can I say. I dig masks, guns, and truckloads of near homoerotic subtext.

These games are fun as hell in co op. if you are turned off by this Bro thing then you are missing out. Also fist bumping after you blow up a bunch of dudes is hilarious period. Remember. Videogame.

I have a hard time believing this is frostbite 2....

As far as gameplay it's whatever, army of 2 was always a competent 3rd person co op shooter. I'm sure this one will be too. Although the Roman numeral 3 for a W is the worst.

If this trailer contained an actual "shit storm", I'd be preordering this game right now instead of typing this snarky comment.

Fuck everyone else. Ao2 is still one of my favorite Co-Op series' out there. Hyped as shit for this.

EDIT: Wow, I don't even care about that dumb quest...but being that close without trying still kinda stings.
