8. Make more of the story

The set up for Army of Two is excellent. It deals with the privatisation of the military and the shady business of guns for hire. There's even a decent backstabbing and revenge twist, but not enough is made of it. Salem and Rios gun down enemies in some of the biggest political hotspots in the world yet it feels like just another mission in a video game. EA has the chance to make the story deeper than your average action game so we want them to nail the storyline in the sequel.

7. More multiplayer maps

Army of Two's four-player Vs. mode turned out surprisingly well, but you only get four maps to play with. There's no doubt that more will be appearing as DLC in the near future, but in the sequel we want more from the off. And although the game's all about working as a pair, can we get some army of four action too? Playing with just three others doesn't hurt the experience, but our friends list is big. The option to play with more people allows more friends to play together.

i think the dialogue in the game lightened it up, gave it a sense of humor, which is great after playing halo, CoD4, R6V2 and all the other serious shooters, next-gen is crying out for a shooting game that's...

After being a little put off by your review, I bought the game. Personally I love it.... Videogamer.com, you make a coop game and let everyone see how good you can do, since you know it all. So easy to critisize, but all your grips just tell me you need to hire someone who knows how to play games.

Great ideas to improve the game, as I agree with about 7/10 of your suggestions. Overall a great game though. EA will definitely franchise this, but I gave them a break with this 1st game because it was a slight shot in the dark. But besides that did anyone feel the "Call of Gears of Halo 3" esque experience the game brought? lol.

I think you take games too serious Tom, this isn't reallife. "OMG TEHY TLK LIEK THEY JST GOT OUT'A HGH SCHOOL!!11!!oneone!!1"
So what? Do all the characters in action games need to be serious? I think it makes the game more fun to play, instead of boring serious comments. "OHH YEAH!!!" instead of "I got him" or not say anything at all is a bit more fun, isn't it?
Not all action games characters needs to be the same, boring-serious types.

You should also be able to duel wield weapons

Let the weapons do more realistic damage. The anti material rifle for instance should be able to fire through cover and light vehicles. It would be fun to have other vehicles kicking about that can be used. More weapon upgrades would be handy - i.e. infrared to shoot through targets, better use of GPS system. Also the game would be improved through having time limits upon actions, the ability to fail a mission to effect the overall storyline. The armour system is weak. There should be the option to purchase armour or not, and it should effect gameplay more. The weapons load out is strange - i.e. weapons not fully reloading with grenades, special weapons on being replenished if a different weapon is selected. And so on and so forth....

Yeh well, i think its a really good game, just need to improve online, if the shooting was like cod4, its a totally different game. Maybe a more destuctable enviroment, i.e battlefield bad company, and more customization online.

The game was great to play but just as you get into the mix of things....story complete.A longer storyline would be enjoyable.
