Alan Pettit

A sneak peak of the upcoming blog of Army of Two's Assistant Producer Matt Turner revealed a few things about the game that will be coming in the near future.

  • Demo will be out April 1st.
  • There will be DLC, though no date or price was set.
  • Patch will be out "within a week."

DLC Info

  • 1 New Multiplayer Map
  • 2 New Campaign Maps
  • Added "SSC Challenge" (aka Obstacle Course)
No word on any new achievements.

Patch Info (full patch notes here)

  • Server "upgrades" to allow better connections.
  • Hopeful fix for random match drops.


So that should be good news for fans of the game, as well as a demo for people like myself who wanted to test it out before actually buying/renting it.

[Thanks to Nebbin for the information.]

  • Sweet i want to try out the Demo.
  • NICE!!!
  • Cool this will help me decide if i want it for my birthday or not:) Thanks for the info:)
  • Ehh, even if I like the demo, why should I switch over to this after getting into Rainbow Six Vegas 2? That'll hold me off long enough until GTA IV, which will then take over my life.
  • nice hopefully the DLC campgin maps will continue from where the game left off that wud be sick...LOVe army of two..at this very moment a friend is comin over to play contractor wit me
  • The Demos of the game should be out before or right when the game comes out not a month later, wtf. It really matters not to me because I get my own demos before the games come out anyways ;) I was just thinking of my fellow gamers without "connections" they should be able to try any game before they buy it too. Too many crappy games getting hyped up and then letting us down. ~Peace
  • Just got Army of Two from gamefly hopefully the patches is very soon
  • can't wait for the demo
  • all demos should come out before the game does
  • I might check out the demo if I don't rent the game this weekend.
  • I just want the 2 new campaign maps and hopefully some new achievements.
  • I love Ao2 yet the game is way too short, I hope they could add more missions and weapons to the game. DLC i'd gladly pay for.
  • hmm maybe ill start playing online again still need retirement saving plan but im not hooked up to live so ill see this weekend when does this patch come out?
  • "all demos should come out before the game does" Unfortunatly, they can't always do that.If I remember right, Condemned 2 was supposed to have a demo out before the game, and look.The demo is out on the PS3 now, but as far as my knowledge goes, we have yet to get one on the 360. Plus, with a game as short as Ao2, it could be hard to pick how long the demo should be and what part of the campaign it should cover. Better late than never though.Too bad I already bought the game.Love playin it, too bad I don't want to finish the game with the computer AI.I prefer playin with a friend.Its the only thing keepin me from about 50+ gs,lol.Oh well, heres hopin for new achievements with the DLC!
  • I still havnt played this yet but i cant wait to see if its as good as it looks.
  • great i have this game and i love it the new campaign maps are just what i been wishing so thanks
  • Crap..I only rented the game fun though. I guess this means i have to buy it.
  • probably not gona get the dlc if theres no achievements but the patch is wonderful news hopefully it will help with the connections alot
  • O.o 2 new campaign maps interesting that makes a change
  • army of two blows fact
  • Well I have the game so the demo is cool I guess for thoese that don't have it. I am mostly excited about the DLC becuase evenr though the patch was needed I never went online because of the problem so I guess I will start now...
  • Oh and the game was good. It wasn't crap. Anyone could have found a great reason for the game. Ethier for the achivments or for the fun co-op.
  • Maybe they should've put some of this content in the game so it isn't 3 hours long.
  • Er, a demo after the game has been played to death by many? What happened to marketing strategy? Anyway, it'd be good if they patch and give those money to victims of quitters.
  • i've not played Army of two yet.. so a demo would be great. But it should have come sooner.
  • Is online for Army of Two any good? Haven't heard too much about online for it
  • I have to say this game hasnt lived up to the hype it was given. If you are looking for achievements this is the game for u but other then that it is just a renter in my eyes
  • Very excited to see the DLC includes fixing online and new campaign maps!
  • Sounds interesting. Recently got the game and its definitely fun co op with a friend. Online is pretty cool, especially when you figure out what your supposed to do. Very similar to splinter cell online. In the sense of two versus two objective based multiplayer. Looking forward to the new content.
  • This is a great game. Very under-rated to say the very least. Im very excited for any DLC on this release.
  • this game sucks...dlc with no achievements is pointless
  • If some achevs are added i will love ARMY OF TWO even more!!!!!!! Hope to see a sequel in 09
  • awesome, cant wait for the demo
  • shame its all to late for me im affraid...completed the game 3 times over and got real fed up with losing connection online so it went...sold on and replaced. good game just wish for once a game would come out without any problems
  • I'm getting this game within the next week or so -- so the demo came late for me, but it is still nice so others can determine if its a buy,rent, or no go. The patch sounds like it will be fixing some serious MP issues as well, thank god
  • I got it and it is awesome... havet tried out the mp yet but it looks cool!
  • Looking forward to the DLC, already finished the campaign like 5 times. :o Multiplayer was fun for a while, but the weapons are too imbalanced I think, but the idea was nice.
  • Awesome, can't wait love the game and the online is really fun but can get repetitive with the same maps always appearing and lag issues. With these updates and extra content should make the game even more fun.
  • Demo? Awesome. By seeing Reviews, I don't think I myself would even buy this game... but perhaps I can get someone else to... Bwahah.
  • i've had Ao2 since it came out.It's a fantastic game if u like gow campaign?? u'll enjoy it.But thankfully it's not like it online no noobs!!!!
  • Sweet, makes a good game better!
  • good ole EA, they shortchange a 60 dollar game(i have it and actually thought it was a lot of fun, but could have been better) so you can pay for more stuff that should have been in the game
  • cool game. just a shame that EA are behind it. trust a game that was delayed for months (for game improvements and tweaks) to then need a patch after release. Army Of Two Two (?) better be a much larger game in every way (campaign, online, storyline) as this did not deserve the huge gears-like hype it got.
  • Finally EA is going to release the demo of the game a month after it was released.To bad I'm still not going to buy it.
  • 2 new campaign maps? So there has to be new achievements?
  • But why bring out a demo when the game has been released already doesnt defeat the object. I understand with the new content to download but the demo is pointless.
  • why bring out the demo after the game has been released
  • Why bring the demo out a month late, there has not been any demos out for months, we need regular demos and before the games are released Xbox and microsoft SUCKS PS my xbox 360 just broke and i am way pissed!!!!!!!!!!! i didnt spend £300 on a console that i have to send back to the company to fix just because their shit at making consoles!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH
  • Oh and DL content already......for shame!
  • The ending seems to leave it open more for a sequel rather than just DLC. But I guess they could make it so a sequel would seem even more likely than before dlc.
  • Nothing like putting out a demo after the game's been out for a while. Guess they have to try to get people to play after all of the disappointing reviews. I thought EA was smarter than that.
  • thank you for the patch the new maps sound fun too
  • oh flip, I cant wait for the demo, Its gonna be so cool
  • Better late than never, I guess, as far as the demo is concerned. The DLC thing kind of irks me because the game itself only had 6 campaign mission so asking us to buy more campaign content this soon after release is shady.
  • DLC better have new achievements
  • well the reviews of this game were bad but a demo ... might help me decide if i want to get it or not
  • game blows.
  • You shouldn't believe everything you read, but on the same token it does help when are more positive to negative. Anyway I am very surprised there is DLC for this game, because this is EA. Well I may or may not get this depending if there are achievements or not.
  • This will be cool if I repeat IF EA actually releases it. I felt ripped off that the campaign mode was so short. Even though it will cost MS points this will add value to my purchase. The game is great (Surprisingly since EA makes it) it just ends too soon. I'd love to see a (longer) sequel.
  • If they don't put out a demo b4 the game comes out, it probable sucks and they don't want u to know. the only execption is if it's a blockbuster sequel.
  • Can't wait!!! i Want those new maps:)
  • I am really looking forward to the game not just being dropped!! I regret buying most games, but this is one that I definately do not regret. I will be downloading the new maps, and I really hope that there will be a couple of new achievements, also!!!!
  • Nice, me and my buddies could use some new maps
  • Army of two's multiplayer is garbage. They put absolutely no detail into it at all. All you have to do is walk up to someone and press right trigger to head but them then shoot them with the ak47 while there on the ground. Theres no skill involved in this game at all. The only good thing coming out of the DLC is the campaign missions. Anything that has to do with multiplayer in the DLC is a waste of your money.
  • If the DLC is free then I'll for sure buy this game used, I liked it a lot when I rented it but there just wasn't enough for me to want to buy it.. I'll wait a while and get it used perhaps. Or maybe not.
  • I knew they would make the game from 1993 to 2009 and only show 5 contracts, so they could do a lot of DLC for the campaign so you can buy it and see more of the campaign, well I might get this, if I am not busy getting the Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack
  • BTW I said 5 contracts even though there are six missions because the sixth mission is unexpected to Salem and Rios and isn't really a contract.
  • Hopefully the demo is better than the game.
  • The multiplayer was pure crap. Hopefully they sorted out about disconnects.
  • 'Hopefully the demo is better than the game. ' Now why would you want ANY demo to be better than the actual game? Thats just misleading!! I have the game - love the game, but hate the shortness of it. I just hope the demo isn't the traing level of the game. That won't give you jack to taste.
  • It's about time they patch this damn game! I didn't think I would ever get the Savings Plan achievement the way the games keep dropping on me.
