Army of Two: Difference between revisions

*** The [[Generation Kill]] comparison is particularly amusing for the [[Ho Yay]] detailed below; one of the Marines featured hung a [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] on it.

* [[Bash Brothers]]: You play as two, pretty much.

* [[Bling Bling Bang]]: You can actually "pimp" your weapons with gold and chrome finishers, diamonds, etc, to increase Aggro. The sequel allows you to put camouflage paint on your weapons to decrease it, but the bling option is still there and reaches its extreme with ''diamond-encrusted frag grenades.''

** In the sequel, if you apply the [[Rainbow Pimp Gear|Pimp]] paint job to a RPG-7, the Aggro meter [[Readings Are Off the Scale|breaks the scale]].

* [[Heterosexual Life Partners]]: Salem and Rios, arguably, but there's a lot of [[Ho Yay]].

** Consider that at the end of ''The 40th Day,'' Salem and Rios don't stop to think about the possibility that Jonah could be lying, so despite the fact that {{spoiler|there is no nuke,}} killing Jonah means they're willing to consign millions to their deaths for each others' sake. This is played distinctly as [[The Power of Friendship]], not apathy.

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Rios exemplifies this in the original. In the sequel, this part of his personality has apparently been beaten out of him via Plot.

* [[Infant Immortality]]: In ''The 40th Day'', {{spoiler|our antiheroes meet a kid in a hospital, who assists them. He asks them if they want him to try and get a sniper rifle. If the player(s) say "yes", [[Subverted Trope|he gets shot while he's jumping up and down in celebration]]. This would have slightly more impact if he wasn't flagged by the enemy AI as hostile, and they didn't sometimes shoot [[Special Effects Failure|straight through him]] with no effect ''before'' the script says he needs to be hit.}}

* [[More Dakka]]: And the more dakka you have, the more dakka you get. You can even cause your guns to have less dakka if you want to get less dakka back.

* [[Next Sunday AD]]: The China and Miami missions take place in 2009.

* [[No One Could Survive That]]: {{spoiler|Phillip Clyde survives going down with an airliner. He may have also survived getting kicked out an office tower window, but the sequel has announced he won't be returning for it.}}

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Subverted; the panda incident sounds like it's going to be one of these at first, complete with Salem saying "I didn't think that was even ''possible'' with a [[Noodle Implements|panda.]]" The last line of the dialog, however, abruptly confirms that it's ''[[Sick and Wrong|exactly what you're thinking it is.]]''

* [[Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right]]: Overlaps with [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules|Screw The Money]], their [[Mission Control]] asks them if they want to let the authorities handle it legally, but they decline as they know the [[Big Bad]] is currently in the process of killing witnesses and destroying evidence inside the HQ.

** Also an option in ''The 40th Day'', in some circumstances. The major choice you're offered in the demo is "Kill the ex-SSC contact or let him go". The consequences are shown to you immediately, but sometimes, you're exchanging a reward now for a reward later...

** Likewise in the comic Dustin, a former ranger friend, comments on Rios "Rocking the Skeletor," look.

** Nearly every achievement on the 360. Some of the better ones:
