Please bring Back Army of Two
As a longtime EA player and military veteran, I want to raise something that I believe represents a real opportunity in today’s market: the return of the Army of Two franchise. Back in the day, this series delivered something that still feels rare even now — a true two-man tactical co-op experience that was built from the ground up for teamwork. The aggro system, partner mechanics, back-to-back moments, and coordinated breaching created a style of gameplay that few modern shooters have successfully replicated. Speaking personally, this game had real staying power in the barracks. It wasn’t just another shooter — it was a bonding experience. And judging by ongoing community discussions across forums, Reddit, and social media, there is still strong nostalgia and demand for this type of focused co-op experience. Why this makes sense now: The market is heavily saturated with PvP and live-service shooters Players are showing renewed interest in tight co-op experiences There are very few modern military co-op shooters built specifically for two-player teamwork Recent co-op successes in the industry suggest the audience is still there What many of us would love to see: A modern remake or reboot of Army of Two Preserved core co-op mechanics (aggro system especially) Cross-play online co-op Couch co-op support (still highly valued) Modern graphics and gunplay polish Optional live-service elements — but not at the expense of the core co-op identity I understand business realities and that reviving a franchise requires strong justification. But from a player perspective, the two-player tactical co-op lane feels underserved right now, and Army of Two is uniquely positioned to fill that gap. If others in the community feel the same way, I’d encourage you to share your thoughts. Constructive feedback and visible interest can help highlight opportunities worth revisiting. Respectfully, A longtime EA player and co-op fan (D-Mac5232)
More couch co-op games please!🙏
I recently played split fiction with my wife and It takes 2 and it was an absolute blast! EA reallly needs to invest in more couch co-op games like these, including perhaps first person shooters. I’ve been searching for more couch co-op and there’s so few, previously I didn’t really play these types of games as I had no one to really play with, and I’m thinking there must be quite a number of people who initially gamed alone but are now no longer alone and would love to connect with their partners through gaming. It’s very expensive to have two separate gaming set ups to enjoy other multiplayer games as opposed to one console with two controllers, I’d ask EA to consider expanding their selection for couch co-op other genres like Star Wars, battlefield or perhaps Lord of the rings. Or even a new game franchise, There’s definitely a market for it.
