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.EA NextStep, a step back
I am starting to think that they know what they are doing, seeing that the forum was the only resource that popped up when I was researching a problem I was pleasantly surprised to see a "contact us" button at the bottom of the support page. Now I was fully expecting an AI assistant, at least before speaking with support staff or having a ticket created, but what EA has created is well beyond any other assistant I have ever had the displeasure of navigating. Every single prompt from EA NextStep comes with little to no regard of the information you entered into the window previously. Beyond stating your name multiple times be prepared to state your problem, game, and system multiple times in repeat. And for those of you as gullible as me, hoping, praying to at least have an actual ticket created and maybe get a chance to have another person review your problem, let me save you the effort. At the end of each session with EA NextStep it will prompt you to the EA "Self Help" guide where the AI chose an article for you to read and hopefully fix the problem yourself, the only problem, it doesn't actually listen to your problem. I was trying to solve the random EA app failure on PC and beyond having to give it all of the important information multiple times, I was offered a generic "game help" article, a "login help" article, and a "connectivity troubleshooting" article, none of which actually addressed the problem or the fact that I had attempted many of the steps those articles were suggesting before trying to find more help. If anyone has a solution to the EA app bug, I would be very appreciative, but I will not hold my breath on EA finding the solution, as the multitude of threads on and off of this site complaining about the exact issue I was having, and the EA proposed solution, if all else fails, factory reset, and the EA app and EA games are just not worth that effort.
