Army of Two Gets New Co-Op Maps...for Free!

There's nothing better than getting more co-op content for an already superb cooperative game. Ok, there is something better, getting free content for an already superb cooperative game!

EA has just announced the Veteran Map pack will be available this Thursday, May 29th on both Xbox Live and PSN for FREE! The pack is sponsored by Pontiac and features two brand new co-op missions and a new 2 vs 2 multiplayer map.

The first mission takes place in a subway station in Kiev where you must find and destroy the central hub of a dangerous militia. The second mission takes you back to SSC headquarters in Miami where you get the chance to take out Dalton, Rios and Salem’s ex-boss and the man responsible for framing them, in an "intense boss fight where the glory of revenge is finally felt." The final map, a multiplayer versus map, is set in a China Canal Lock.

The map pack is said to have "dynamic and destructible enviornments" not available in the original version of the game. Could that mean something along the lines of the aircraft carrier mission? I guess we'll know this Thursday.

Nice. I've been staring at this game on my shelf and actually thought about it on my way into work this morning. I'll have to throw it in and get myself up to speed again...now, I just need to convince my co-op buddy that he wants to play this game again.

I'm glad the campaign missions turned out to be free instead of multiplayer maps. Online multiplayer is really pointless after the first month blitz when everyone goes back to Halo, CoD4, etc...

Wow those missions are tough, fun though

Awesome. I actually thought the game was a bit too easy at times so it's good to hear that.

Downloading it right now. Should be cool i hope they come out with more campaign missions instead of the multiplayer maps

I've played a bit of the Kiev mission and am enjoying it so far. The reflective surfaces in the subway look cool. After playing through the original campaign four times me and my battle buddy were very burnt out on the game but these new missions really help to extend what is considered a "short" game.
