. Story
Set a few years after the events of the original Army of Two
game, Army of Two: The 40th Day features the continuing
adventures of millitary contractors Tyson Rios and Elliot Salem.
With the help of Alice Murray, their mission coordinator, they
now run their own para business, known as TransWorld
Operations (TWO). Working what seems to be a routine mission in
Shanghai they find themselves surrounded by a force of competing
private contractors intent on running amok in the city.
Will Rios and Salem survive? Will they be able to make a few
bucks off a bad situation? All they have is each other to rely
on.
Gameplay
As with the original Army of Two, and as the name of the series
implies, gameplay in Army of Two: The 40th Day revolves around
co-op combat tactics necessary to survive specific and general
combat situations. Players can team up with an AI companion in
single player mode or a human friend in two-player co-op. Co-op
tactics are made aware to the player in what is known as the
co-op playbook. Unlike the original game, which in some instances
limited the use of some tactics to certain situations, in The
40th Day, players have access to all tactics. Implementing these
against nents revolves around the game's "Aggro" system,
tallied in the heads-up-display (HUD) and which measures the
a of attention a team member draws from nents for
certain tactics, leaving the other team member in various states
of freedom to launch coordinated attacks as chosen. In addition
to this change, players are also faced with moral dilemmas in the
game, including choices presented to one of the players on a team
that the other must bear the consequences of, as well as the
decision as to deal with and/or defend civilian non-player
characters (NPCs), who can be killed in the game.
Multiplayer Modes
In addition to its single player campaign, Army of Two: The 40th
Day offers a robust, region-free, multiplayer experience that
provides an array of unique features for up to 12 players at a
time. This experience consists of four modes, including, three
brand-new modes that provide a variety of objectives for partners
to battle over. The four modes are:
* Co-op Deathmatch - An intense battle of survival between up to
six two-player partnerships. Only by mastering teamwork and
partnership skills will players earn the most points and come out

members as they to capture strategic locations in the city.
Work with your partner and faction to control the most points
within the time limit.
* Warzone - Is an all-out objective-based battle between TWO and
FDI forces. Complete the most Destruction, Assassination, VIP,
and Infiltration missions with your partner and faction to crush

* Extraction - Pits a team of four players against a series of
unique enemy waves as they move from point to point in the ruined
city. Players must strategize as a unified team to combat the
different forces of the 40th Day Initiative while trying to get
out alive. Extraction is a bonus mode that will be available for
free one month after Army of Two: The 40th Day is released, or at
launch for players who pre-ordered.
