11th August: The End Is Nigh for Army of Two

EA are shutting down the servers to several of their online games on 11th August, including co-op fave Army of Two

Good-night, sweet princes; And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest

At Co-Optimus we like to concentrate on the lighter things in life; like butterflies, or candy, or candied butterflies.  However, the real world is a far darker place, the type of place where EA shut down servers for co-op friendly games such as Army of Two.  As mentioned last month, on the 11th August the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Army of Two will no longer be playable online.  This makes tonight your last chance to complete the game with a pal, or get that final tricky achievement.

Let us gather in a session of group therapy and recount our favorite Army of Two memories:

The time we fist bumped over the still smoldering corpse of a heavy machinegun operator.

or, Remember the time I was standing around absorbing all the enemy bullets as you were meant to sneak around and flank them?  You decided to forget about me and kept going to the checkpoint - I'm still here, waiting.

Sad, sad moment... Army of Two was the first game I purchased on the PS3... thus being the first console game I had purchased in over a decade... and thus being the first console game I purchased with money which I earnt!

Anyway, I remember all the joys and frustrations my bro and I had with completing Ao2. Joys being

- pretty decent level design
- saving up our cash and getting the SMG instead of any of the other pistols (thus having two rapid fire guns)
- graphical glitches resulting in rather hilarious scenes
- the sweet mission on the aircraft carrier

Frustrations being
- having to go heal each other
- the iffy cover system
- the parachute sequences... we really learnt to hate the sixaxis after the first parachute sequence

I really hope they make a third game to provide closure to some unanswered questions at the end of the second game... but I sure hope they make it more like the first. The globe trotting of the first game was so much more interesting than the monotonous Shanghai setting of the second game.

And please get rid of the need to heal each other else it's game over. Respawns are much less annoying. At least give us the option to choose if we get penalised if we allow our team member to die.

I never played online, can't stand to play multiplayer on 360/PS3.
Ao2 is however a really great game for some split-screen action, and me and my friend must have put at least 30 hours into that.

Picked up The 40th Day for $10 at Kmart a while back. Been playing solo so far. Friendly AI sucks.

Let me know if you want to do some co-op sometime.

This annoys me a great deal - I've bought this game at full price at the time and I still pay my doughs for a yearly Xbox Live subscription.

Anyhow, what I wondered; will co-op online game stop as well or just the other online modes?

Me and a friend has had a lot of good hours with this game in online co-op..
