The video review on IGN made me want it...I'll wait for your guys input on it befoire considering.

I really have a lot of fun playing split screen coop games so thats why my interest has gone up (before I thought it was LIVE only)

definitely getting it. 2 man squad tactics aren't used enough in other games, so this will help out alot of people.

The concept of two player co-op is cool (like Chaos Theory) but after watching the review it didn't really appeal to me.

played it. gameplay wise it was incredible. campaign was wayyyy to short though....6 missions is hardly enough. The ending left room for a sequel though. The weapon customization is cool. I still have yet to play multiplayer

I got many ( at least 7) messages asking me "Loik Hows Army of 2". 3 of them were from here.

So here is your answer...the game is good, Definitely worth a rental at least.
The single player is fun, if a-bit short, and the companion AI IF USED/CONTROLLED correctly, is actually not that bad of a companion. The Only gripe I have with it is that if you do get to the point of needing to get revived ( which you most likely will at least once ), It can be bit of a moron, not bad mind you, but it has its moments. Of course if playing with a friend/human the game becomes a bit more fun (depending on who you play it with).

As for online, think Slayer+Objective+Capture the flag+Online AI+2 Human individuals trying to kill you and getz mor3 Mon3z then j00.
Its fun, but I must say the "3 different" game types really aren't that different, just have a bit more priority on certain objectives like assassinations or carrying a individual from one place to another.

If numb3rs Help you ,the game I feel Is a Descant 8

Metacritic

There...now stop spamm'n me with messages. 8)

If I lived in a college dorm or something with someone that wanted to play it, I'd probably get it, but it's probably too dependent on the 2 player mode to really justify getting it when I'll probably only be playing with myself.

I've already played through this game 3 times... I'm going to finish off my Professional run next time I have a friend over. This game is quite fun. =)

I'm worried the online will suck though, I've heard quite a few bad reviews. >_>

rent it first then buy it. it may not be worth it
