Yes, but you get a two day trial which is probably enough to play through it with someone online.
I previewed it at EA this week and have a video preview, if anyones interested. Wouldnt post without asking as I know you're not meant to pimp your own stuff.
The real battle in The Devils Cartel is ridiculous screen tearing in basically every single shot
As far as I remember you could make choices that had absolutely no consequences at all. And there was almost no story. I played it with a buddy and until the end we were asking ourselves what is happening and why is everything falling apart. EA really dropped the ball with the second game. Could have been a solid franchise.
Does this two day trial start as soon as you start to play the game or when you go online for the first time?

You can link your preview. I'd be interested in seeing it.
Have other Frostbite games had tearing issues?
Haha I played the first game when it still had that, it was awful.
If you by chance still had a build of that around, it'd make my day to swing by the 4th floor and see it in action just once.
I was going to make a thread called "Army of 2 3, is anyone going to buy this for 60 dollars?"
I bought the first one at 20 bucks a long time ago, and played through it on single player. It was functional but definitely needs a second human player. It was pretty average even then, and it spawned 2 more sequels?
I played the demo for the third and it's just old. Everything about it feels old. The cover system, the gameplay, the graphics, there's very little originality to it. When would EA even bother with this so late in the console generation?
As far as the graphics go, I didn't see anything wrong with them. I always found the Frostbite engine to be a little jaggy, but the lighting was decent.

apeshit you're supposed to play it with your bro
You have to fist pump your computer or console until the game automatically boots up, after that you need to get alcohol poisoning because of March Madness, the game will then give you the best AI partner possible because you have shown you are bro enough to save Mexico.
Wow, haha.
It's everything that's wrong with forced co-op plus everything that's wrong with casual shooter pap. And nothing else. The demo's definitely worth playing though. Just to get a reading on what publishers think about the gaming populace.

Have they said whether a PC version will be available in the future?

oh my god i can't wait
don't forget, badass one elbow pad!
When you go into the single player section of the menu it'll ask, even if you want to play offline.
This is my preview, for those who wanted to see. Not meant to be overwhelmingly positive or negative, just a bit of an overview. Got a review copy on the way though, so then will be able to talk about the levels I played but cant discuss yet which is when some serious shit goes down. Story or Gameplaywise though?

I actually sent a tweet to the official twitter asking but they basically just said to just get it on console and then asked why i wouldnt want to play it on console. I mentioned how poorly the demo ran but they just said they would open a ticket about it.
I do hope they release a pc version, had fun with the first 2 but i want to play it at 1080p with a decent frame rate.

Loved Army of two the 40th day but this isnt even on the same level, WTF have they done to Rios and Salem, Salem voice and character model is just wrong and its got a way more serious tone, the player dialog and execution is plain bad, it lost all its funny, over the top mojo.
Watched a couple of playthroughs, yeh this will be getting 5/10's easily
Very repetitve

i have to pick up my copy to morrow. can't wait to play this with my bro.
The Ao2 games have never come to the PC, and I highly doubt this one will either. Also where are all the reviews?

Demo was fun, but I liked the previous two games a lot.
You don't play as Rios or Salem. Unless I'm misunderstanding you.

outside of madden and maybe other sports games, when was the last EA 1st party game that wasn't also on pc?
Those disks got thrown in the wood chipper a long time ago but I bet they can be ordered from WBTS, if you haven't done it I can show you how to.

Maybe they couldn't afford Nolan North, bro.
I don't suppose much of anyone bothered reviewing it.
This completely flew under my radar. Didn't even hear about it until two weeks ago. Same with Gears of War: Judgment. I dig the previous games in the series - the first one is real rough around the edges but still enjoyable enough and the second is an awesome Gears of War clone. Still, EA's marketing hard at work, I had no idea this was a thing until recently.
If you have a TPS that's really a stone's throw away from Gears - why do you release your game a week after the game you're aping? I'm still getting my TPS fix from Judgment. This thing was sent to die.

Bad? Its great. Its a really great co-op game. really fun I thought.

The first one made for some great co-op at the highest difficulty level, and between that game and Left 4 Dead me and my co-op friends have an almost psychic bond.
Army of Two II had some interesting ideas, with the choices you could make, and the almost gunsmith level of modifications and bling for the guns, but for some reason we never finished it. Probably because other games took the co-op torch and ran with it.
But this game... I don't get it. It looks archaic.

Lol amazing work Blamespace
Which quite a poignant statement considering it runs on Frostbyte 2.0. They made the first terrible looking game for that engine.
