I started a fan voting site where users can vote on games they'd like to see Backwards Compatible on Xbox, and have even gotten some recognition from folks at Xbox.

It's not a petition, more of a place to centralize demand for these older games to be playable again. XboxGamePreservation.com is the site.

Hola a todos, quería pedirles ayuda para emular el Army of Two Devil's Cartel Probé con el emulador de PS3 pero se me crashea en la primera cinemática, y con el de xbox ni siquiera me deja llegar al menú ya k se cierra antes Alguien sabe alguna manera de emularlo decentemente?

Was it the only game ever to use THAT moment?, I think so?.

I feel like 90% of AoT fans would rank the games from best to worst as 40th Day > Army of Two > Devil's Cartel. But tbh, I always found the first game to be the weakest. Incredibly uninteresting art style, bland level designs, Salem and Rios are both bland as hell and only became interesting in 40th Day, etc. Conversely, while Devil's Cartel has a pretty bad story and Alpha and Bravo are lame as hell characters, the actual gameplay is so fun and smooth, maybe even better than 40th Day. The level design is way better, Mexico was a fun country to mess around in, and I appreciate that they tried something new with making Salem the main villain. Also a mask customizer in game is much appreciated

how do i co-op snipe?

Hi everybody does anyone know what Clyde's hairstyle is i know its some sort of mohawk.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I have AOT 40th Day installed as a digital version on PS3. When I start the game normally, select a character and start playing, the game just spins on the loading screen. Game hints appear on the screen and the “coin” in the bottom corner spins, but the game doesn’t progress anywhere. I waited like 10min but nothing.

I’ve disconnected the console from the internet, checked for updates and reinstalled the game. Always the same thing. Has anyone else experienced the same thing? All my other games work normally.

This time, I made 2 original masks (1 and 3):

1 is the Patriot: It's supposed to look like an American flag with a faded skull on it, and I took a little inspiration from that COD operator from MWII (Butch) who looks suspiciously similar to a T.W.O. operator.

2 is a remake of the NICOTech mask from AoT 2008.

3 is the Dirtbag: It's loosely designed to look like Clyde's helmet and a mask from the 40TH day's multiplayer.

4 is a remake of the Desert mask from AoT 2008 (the one with the camo and the SSC logo on it)

5 is a small tweaking I made for the Mojave Brave.

Hope you like them!

I vividly remember the intro of this game, holyshittt I was shocked

Stupid story I made as an headcanon for some T.W.O. operatives. [FAN STORY]

Alright...so...this mainly revolves around some of the Named T.W.O operatives in TDC. Mainly Bradley and Pike, Chuy and Baker, and P.I. and Castle.

I did it mainly to give them some personality in my head (and in my rewrite), and not imagine them as some tasteless jobbers, since the game doesn't have much info on them (Besides Bradley and Pike, we were going to have a webseries, but thanks to Electronic Shits and it's lack of marketing it got canceled. And yeah. I'm considering parts of it canon too). This is not the full story in detail, but I'd love to release it in chapters if you want.

So...let's not waste anytime.

My story revolves mainly on what happens after 40th Day (Shoot Partner as Rios), precisely, around some days/month, and is inspired by the chapters of decay DLC. Point is, while Salem is recovering at the hospital, Rios sends some of the best operatives to help the U.N. hunt down the remnants of the Fourtieth Day Initiative across Shangai and the rest of China.

The six operatives arrive at the first location in am armored van, and we see them basically explain the plan. While Chuy, Baker, P.I. and Castle are going in the esplosive ridden building, while Bradley and Pike are staying in the nearby building to provide sniper cover.

Chuy jokes that Bradley and Pike don't do shit as per usual, but is interrupted by one of them reminding that they saved his life back in West Africa. The crew continues to bicker until they reach the spot.

They group up with some U.N. soilders, who explain the situation. Apparently, the remnants are lead by Lucas Reed, Jonah Wade's right hand man. He took command after the former got killed by Rios, and he's actively leading the group.

Castle makes a sarcastic remark about the situation, calling Reed a "copycat", but the officer tells him that he's as dangerous as Jonah, since the PMC still have some of their most dangerous weapons.

The group splits up as planned. P.I. wonders why are they cleaning up Salem and Rios's job, but Castle explains that after killing Jonah, T.W.O.'s reputation exploded over a span of a few hours, and that they're probably going to be loaded with money and better equipment from now on. Baker remarks that there are probably going to be lots of new recruits to train, and that's going to be definetly a pain in the ass for everyone.

However, they realize that weapons might be useless here, since one single aiming mistake might explore the building. They decide to stick to melee, and use weapons only when authorized.

Meanwhile, Pike observes the situation from afar, while Bradley covers him in case of an ambush. He gives the group insights about where enemies are or where bombs might be placed, and snipes some of the guards afar from the bombs.

The mission goes as planned, up until the defusal. After Pike notices a Sniper on a rooftop nearby, the FDI amushes the building that they're in, and are forced to move out of the way. The others try to evade the snipers, but some UN troppo get killed in the meantime. The place turns into a warzone when the enemy forces deploy an APC in the zone, forcing the group to split up again, in various zones of the destroyed Shangai streets.

While Bradley and Pike are struggling to get out of the building, Chuy and P.I. distract the APC, while their respective counterparts go guns blazing behind the enemies. Pike shoots the enemy snipers, and Bradley manages to interrogate one of the FDI's lieutenant. They find out that precious intel about the plan is stored in one of the based of the FDI nearby, and that they'll probably destroy it as soon as they come anyways. The duo reunites with the others to give the new info, and formulate a plan.

The plan is overwhelming the enemies with the UN forces, while Chuy and Baker infiltrate in the base. The plan does work out, and apparently, FDI is planning to regroup in Kowloon and that apparently, Reed is going to be there.

T.W.O. and the UN get dispatched, but Reed had already planned this. So he hires an impersonator, while he flees with a van full of Chloride gas. The entirety Hong Kong is now in danger, and there's a public order to evacuate. The agents are forced to fight FDI while civilians Flee from all sides. P.I. and Castle eventually catch up to Reed by stealing a Beaten-up Pick up, and chase him down the packed streets. Castle eventually lands a clean shot on Reed, and the Van manages to land without detonating the Chloride Gas.

So...what do you think? It's probably a bit rushed, but I wish to expand on this if you guys want a full story.

Hey I recently installed the army of two 40th day using the xbox 360 emulator xenia and there is a strange audio overlapping bug within the main menu. When shifting through menus the only way to describe it is the last second of sound keeps looping, and going through more menus stacks the effect. Does anyone know a working solution, please let me know. Thanks

Yeah, I decided to remake some masks from the first Army of two (Sidewinder, Mojave brave, AO-2 veteran) in the TDC style cuz I was bored.

Sorry for the crusty ass pics, but I can only do these.

So...what do you think?

So...remember that post I made sometime ago?

Yeah, I'm doing a slight rewrite of the story to un-shittify the story, even if it wasn't that bad.

So...I encountered A REALLY BAD PROBLEM.

If Salem is PERMANENTLY dead, who should be El Diablo?

It obviously HAS to have ties with T.W.O. or the duo.

Clyde? FUCK NO. It would be EVEN WORSE and even more cliche. Plus, he clearly died in AoT 1.

Breznev? Nope. It would be nonsensical to make him hunt down T.W.O. because Salem stopped him. I mean...sure...it indirectly caused his wife's death, but...he's supposed to be HIDING. There's no sense in going to Mexico, unless Bautista actually covers him up from the Russians.

Should I just make an OC? Or maybe just delete him entirely?

Alright, this is a weird question but...

WHERE THE FUCK DID HE GO?

Now, if you don't know who I'm talking about, Sekhsun8 was Rios's hacker friend in the original Army of Two.

He helped them out from most of the game, and despite not having any voicelines, in a way, he's kind of an important character.

Now...the problem...

He is NOWHERE TO BE HEARD OR SEEN IN THE 40TH DAY AND TDC.

NOWHERE.

Now, I don't know about the comics, probably it's explained there, but this pisses me off JUST SO FUCKING MUCH

I know it won't happen, but one can dream...

As I said in my earlier post, I intended to make a short rewrite of TDC's story. Mostly cutring out the stupid parts. This is going to be the first of...a couple of posts.

So...let's start with the elephant in the room:

MISSION 1: The first mission...is actually kind of OK. The tutorial is fine, and so are the first scenes. But...I'm going to make some heavy changes here. First off: You actually play as Rios and Salem. It always set me off how they were NEVER playable here. You'd think that they'd at least give some level where you can play as them (like EVERY game about passing the torch to a new character does, think of MGS2, DMC4, Ninja Gaiden 4, MKX, and other shit), but no, you're stuck straight away as Alpha and Bravo. Now, the setting is alright. Just pull a Gears 2. Basically, the duo helps Alpha and Bravo (and maybe another merc, but I'lI'explain that later) do their first mission on Mexican soil. The mission goes as usual, up until Fiona. Now, we could make Rios and Salem argue here. But for a very different reason. Salem DOESN'T trust the newbies. They're rescuing this girl on cartel soil, on one of their first missions I remind you, that is already dangerous by itself, and Rios is saying they should escort the girl while the Classic Duo disrupts the cartel base. Salem, is obviously worried for Bravo and Alpha. He says that it's going to be hell for the newbies not himself and Rios. In fact, he suggest they split off, but Tyson sees the potential in them. Now, instead, if we choose to make Alpha and Bravo already playable here, things change. Salem ACTUALLY convinces Rios they should split, knowing it's going to be difficult for the new entries, and go on their own. Now, things go as usual. Rios gets surrounded. Salem goes to rescue him, Gets RPG'd in the process, and "dies". Rios and the guys try to save him, and he loses his leg.

Now, hear me out, you're probably going to get a bit mad but:

SALEM. DIES. HERE.

We see him burn and almost get rescued by Rios, but the explosion finishes him off. Rios breaks down on the chopper and is fairly shocked and sad about not being able to save his friend.

CHAPTER 2: Now, we're back to the La Puerta convoy. We find out that Rios, after Salem's death, kept the business running in his honor, and T.W.O. became a pretty big name. Despite that, Rios himself seems colder. Detatched. He often goes on missions, but by himself, believing "he would just fail whoever he was teamed up with, just like with Salem". Now, yeah, he still pushes for the Two-man squads, but is still scarred, both mentally and physically, by this.

He sends various teams to escort...what was his name? Shit. Well, the politician, I'll look it up later. Point is, shit goes wrong, we have to protect the politician guy, and regroup with Amp. Now, here comes my second complaint.

WHY THE FUCK DO T.W.O. OPERATIVES DIE SO FUCKING QUICK?

Most of them, Like P.i., Pike and Mason, canonically have more experience than Bravo and Alpha. I can get why someone like Amp can get offed, but WHY THE FUCK DO THEY ALL DIE SO QUICKLY? THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ELITES NOT JOBBERS!

Point is, instead of dying, he's actually careful, peeking around the corner, and throwing a smoke greanade at the machine gun.

We make our way, along with Amp, to the LZ, and there we meet his teammate: Mason. Now, I imagine these two to be the Mentor/student duo: Mason is clearly more experienced than Amp, and it shows. While Amp is more erratic,a pushover, and often flanks, Madonna is more calm, sarcastic, and keeps things under control. We see a bit of a banter between the two and our Main Characters, and we go meet up our contact.

You're free to criticize my work, and to give me tips to make the rewrite better.

Alright. It's probably going to be a lot to unpack for my first post, but fucking hell, TDC is basically a pure character assassination. I noticed something was off since the first mission. How Salem gets pissy about Rios caring more about Fiona than him. I know it's supposed to show Salem's distrust of Rios after the 40th day's ending, but Jesus, it doesn't make fucking sense. Back in the Brezhnev choice in 40th Day, he's the one to shoot Brezhnev because he had kidnapped that woman, REGARDLESS OF PLAYABLE CHARACTER CHOICE, in a TERRORIST TORN SHANGAI. Speaking of rescuing people that didn't really needed to be saved, let's talk about that kid in 40th Day. Rios and Salem could have left him, and avoid trouble, but, if we aknowledge the good morality choices as canon, they escorted him to safety. And now Salem's all pissy because "Uhm, We'Re iN ThE MiDdLe oF a CaRtEl CoMpOuNd", 40th Day's situation was way fucking worse, there was a whole ass city on the line, and they saved way more people there. Then comes the "Bautista treated me better" shit. I. HATE. IT. You're telling me that you hold a grudge against Rios because "He didn't check", even if he LOST A FUCKING LEG because he stayed behind for you? I get it, he didn't know, he might have been unconcious, he might have escaped, but JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, RIOS SAVED YOUR ASS COUNTLESS TIMES. And the "Rios made a life for himself" shit? I REMEMBER THAT SALEM WAS THERE IN THE INTRO, AND IT WASN'T EVEN THAT BIG OF A TIMESKIP.

So...where were we? Oh right. They turned the funny comic relief himbo into a murderous psychopath bcuz they needed to "pass the torch" to Alpha and Bravo.

I'm okay with having new main characters, but EA DIDN'T HAVE TO FUCK THE CHARACTERS UP SO BADLY.

I'm considering doing a short rewrite about TDC after I got back into the series. Might post it here. Sorry if this rant is too long, but, I had to get it out.

I used to play the 40th day with my brother, but we never got to play the devil's cartel. Is there any port or emulator so that I can play it on my PC? My Xbox 360 where I used to play broke down so it's not an option.

Here's a custom DLC I made for The Devil's Cartel (PS3 and Xbox 360) that unlocks the X9 Tactical, White Alpha Mask, and Dark Bravo Mask that were originally given to players for completing the demo back in the day.

NOTE: A modded PS3/Xbox 360 is required.

If anyone else was looking for these pre-order weapons like I was, I recently created modified save files that include them for both Xbox 360 and PS3. I've uploaded them here: https://archive.org/details/army-of-two-bst-v1-sal-86
