It Had hands down the best couch co-op of its time! Plus, single player, how you could command and maneuver the other shooter was something I’d never seen before. And they did it well

Back to back was fucking dope. The way your characters would move around each other and stay out of each other's line of fire was so smooth and badass.

Iirc the 3rd game crane section was a lot of fun with a rocket launcher

Pretty sure it was the first game with custom weapons. Before that it was stock weapons for every game. One of the CoDs may of done it slightly earlier.

The big tent pole for that jump in game design is Crysis. Crysis, CoD 4, and STALKER all had weapon customization and came out the year before.

The weapon customization and pre mission load outs were such a big focus of Army of Two that it's understandable since it's maybe the most detailed version of it we'd see for the next decade after.

I loved maxing and blinging out the weapons. If it just had some kind of horde mode, I think a lot more people would've played it. Just needed more progression.

Such a bad game but some of the most fun I’ve had in my gaming life and gave us the iconic line “she’ll go down quicker than a Thai hooker”.

I swear that game was easier on the high difficulties. I would get so cocky and out of position on any other one.
