Finally, EA has announced it’s third installment in the Army of Two franchise Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel set to release in March of 2013! Excitement, at this point, is beyond an understatement for me seeing as I’ve been a great fan of the first two titles.
Meet Alpha (Left) and Bravo (Right)
This time we’re being introduced to two new playable operatives to the well know Tactical World Operations (T.W.O.) known as only Alpha and Bravo. It’s already been stated from EA that we won’t be knowing their names like our first hero’s so that the player can really immerse themselves into the character; so they can take on the persona of either Alpha or Bravo. This also doesn’t mean that Salem and Rios won’t be making an appearance in this one. It’s already been confirmed that Rios has made it into this title, but it’s still left for open speculation whether or not Salem has made it in. Since we don’t know still at this point which ending itself is really the “right” ending for The 40th Day (remember there were three different endings), we can only hope.
The Devil’s Cartel continues to hold true to it’s roots while diving into the midst of a full out drug war in Mexico. Only this time you won’t be seeing the high fives and “bro-mance” there was in the earlier titles.
“We wanted to refresh the Army of Two franchise for a new generation of action gamers, and at the same time, stay true to the core concept that really made the first two games fan favorites,” said Julian Beak, executive producer for the game. This means turning it into a more mature, intense and darker tone then what we’re familiar with. Being run off the same engine which powered Battlefield 3, Frostbite 2.0, players can definitely expect destructible environments and even greater customization than before for our hero’s! As for what’s truly in store for Alpha and Bravo is still unknown. We’ll find out and join in on the drug war when it drops in stores March, 2013!
So theres a reason i didnt buy this game
Cant wait for this title!!! thanks for the news!
@storm, the reason why you didnt buy the title moron cuz the game isnt out yet. Durrp durp durrrrppp
ign gave army of two a better overall review than frontlines but i heard army of two had bad controls like you had to switch gun positions to fire and when you took cover you cant see behind your cover like on gears. which is better i love fps games and for some crazy reason someone said army of two is 3rd person. whats up with that?
- The absence of an away goal will concern Chelsea but the spectre of déjà vu should worry Barca more. To those who say that it’s inconceivable that they won’t score over 180 minutes is the reminder that they haven’t scored in 270 minutes of Champions League semi-finals against English opposition in the past 12 months.
- Lionel Messi has the excuse of triple-marking in the first leg, but he has it all to prove in the second.
- The question shouldn’t be whether Chelsea can contain Barcelona on the counter-attack next week but whether Barcelona have the defenders to stop Chelsea. With Rafael Marquez out for the rest of the season and Carles Puyol suspended after being cautioned for his first foul of the night, Barcelona may have to put Eric Abidal in the centre of their defence next Wednesday. Christmas for Didier Drogba?
- Less than 30 seconds separated referee Wolfgang Stark missing/failing to consult his linesman over Branislav Ivanovic’s pull on Thierry Henry in the penalty area and the booking of Puyol. Will that half-minute period prove to be the critical spell of the tie?
- This was no masterclass, defensive or tactical. Chelsea could – and arguably should – have conceded three goals in the last ten minutes alone. Barcelona may have been stifled for most of the game but they could have still routed Chelsea. The suggestion that Hiddink triumphed by outwitting Barcelona and Pep Guardiola is entirely misleading – as is evident by Cech winning the man-of-the-match award.
- And Chelsea are being flattered by the deception of their backs-to-the-wall rearguard action being a strategy. Their biggest problem in the Nou Camp was their failure to string two passes together.
- Barcelona are not as good as the hype.
- Guus Hiddink makes for unreliable listening. His pre-match claim that “Chelsea are not a team who can sit back and wait for one or two counter-attacks…We must play courageously and take the initiative” was the opposite of what occurred. Next he’ll be claiming that the Wembley pitch is satisfactory. Oh, hang on…
- For the first time in the history of the European Cup, the same teams are poised to be in consecutive finals.
- Is there anything more demeaning to a forward than being introduced for the final two minutes of a game that has been 0-0 for the previous 88? It implies – probably accurately – that even when desperate a manager is only willing to risk him as an absolute last resort. As it transpired, Alex Hleb’s lack of composure vindicated Guardiola’s mistrust. Arsenal did well to raise £11.8m for the Belarusian given that they bought Andrei Arshavin for just £200,000 more six months later.
- Michael Essien hasn’t been effective since his man-marking operation on Steven Gerrard a month ago. He still lacks a position.
- The macho pronouncement that ‘they don’t’ like it up em’ is one of the most annoying in football. Because what football team does?
- All football-playing teams sooner or later are accused of ‘over-elaboration’.
- Didier Drogba has an appalling first touch. It is the deficiency that precludes him from the world’s elite.
- Parking the bus is the easiest and oldest trick in the book. Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United have all done it in the past 12 months in the Champions League. They should have no complaints when a bus is parked on their ground in the Premier League.
- Frank Lampard sits like a girl.
In the world of Tactical rifles there are many major brands and let’s face it a real sub MOA rifle costs a pretty penny. I am not talking about competition bench rest guns. I am talking about what rifle would you use in the line of duty? This is not a question of buying a tactical Savage or Remington, custom built rifles people. If I had (well ok I have $6000 to spend on a rifle) what would you buy? I am going to purchase a Tac Ops (Tactical Operations) Delta 51. Specs are as follow:
McMillan adjustable A3 sniper filled stock
Aluminum pillar bedding with free floating barrel chamber
Custom Remington 700 action blueprinted to Tac Ops OCD high tolerance, cryogenically tested
20″ Tac Ops Kreiger barrel
Custom ground recoil lug
Chamber done to 0.001 headpscae
Birdsong Teflon Green-T and Black-T self lubricating finish
Standard (old style) trigger modified for 2.25 lbs to Tac Ops specifications
Trued to shoot Federal Gold Medal 168grain BTHP ammo with a guaranteed 0.25″ MOA (shoots under 0.10″ MOA capabilities)
Leupold Mark 4 M1 8.5-25x50mm scope
Trick question really, no other custom rifle builder guarantees sub .25″ MOA. They build the best rifle used in the military, federal agencies and law enforcement agencies such as the LA SEB SWAT team. I have never shot a better rifle including Surgeon’s, Gap, and Tikka.
What do you think is a better rifle?
Please if you have not shot a Tac Ops don’t bother saying bad things about it or say it’s not possible.. pics to prove its accuracy.
How does my friend and I play army of two online on the same xbox 360?
The highlights of Carter’s presidency were gas rations, gas lines out to the streets at the few gas stations that were not closed, high unemployment rate, failed rescue attempts during Iranian Hostage Crisis, let terrorism getting a foothold, and sky high inflation.
Reagan’s policies flipped the economy around, there was a net job increase of 16 million, the GDP strongly recovered and grew at a rate of 3.4%, and inflation dramatically decreased. His defense spending caused a large deficit, but it was a necessary measure to protect us from the Soviets and it made the largest peacetime expansion of any military in world history.
Successful military actions were performed in Grenada in Operation Urgent Fury and the 1986 bombing of Libya, which was a tactical American victory that destroyed 5 IL-76 transport planes, 14 Mig-23 Floggers, and 2 helicopters, and Operation Praying Mantis.
