Posted by: Michael on Thu, Mar 06th, 2008

EA has announced that one of their most anticipated games “Army of Two” is now shipping to retail stores and should be available starting the 7th of March in North America and Europe.

Army of Two is a 3rd person co-op shooter for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The game promises to throw you into hot spots ripped from today’s headlines.

”We’re focused on providing a great multiplayer experience for players as they engage in complex extraction and bounty missions that make them feel as if they are fighting alongside and against some of the toughest combatants the military world has to offer,” commented Alain Tascan, VP and General Manager of EA Montreal and Executive Producer of ARMY OF TWO. “Allowing people to play online together through the campaign or versus mode, we’re encouraging players to approach a shooter game in a new light through close collaboration and a higher level of team work that no other game has offered.”

Unlike other co-op games, ARMY OF TWO not only focuses on winning, it’s about getting paid. As ex-Army Rangers now turned contractors for a Private Military Corporation, players spend their hard earned cash on more accurate and deadly customizable weapons. Players can use special co-op features to complete their paid missions including the new and unique Aggro feature that ensures their partner goes unnoticed when approaching enemies. Dependent on the intensity of their gun fire, distance, line of sight and type of weapon, players can put the enemy’s attention on one player while the other plans a sneak attack to take them out!
