Set in the Middle East a year in the fāœ±uture, Army of Two sees America%26rsquo;s heavy military losses force a situationā™ where corporate armies send mercenaries to the frontlines. You could call it terrifyingly prophetic, but after our behind closed doors sneak peek we%26rsquo;d prefer to call it a stonkingly exciting, visually superb action blast.

Army of Two is a two-man, third persoź¦—n shooter with an emphasis on teamwork and we got a chance to see how the single-player element will handle this double-teaming action.

The demo began with both characters parachuting from their deployment aircraft over Afghanistan. Your AI buddy steers, while you scope out the ground below. We saw how - by using ę¾³ę“²å¹øčæ5开儖号ē åŽ†å²ęŸ„čÆ¢:Microsoft%26rsquo;s brand new wireless headset affišŸ¼xed - you%26rsquo;ll be able to call out %26lsquo;Left%26rsquo; or %26lsquo;Right%26rsquo; and the AI will react accordingā™Šly.
