Army of Two is a 2008 third-person shooter from Electronic Arts, featuring two Private Military Contractors, Elliot Salem and Tyson Rios.The story starts Salem and Rios as members of the 75th Army Rangers in Somalia, where they're ordered to assist a PMC named Phillip Clyde in eliminating Mo'Alim, a Somali warlord. Following the completion of the mission, SSC CEO Ernest Stockwell offers Salem, Rios, and their CO positions in his company.Salem and Rios gain access to spiffy new armor, evil-looking masks, and a huge selection of weapons. They take missions from Alice Murray, and as the game progresses, Rios starts connecting seemingly disparate events, and the Army of Two start unravelling a plot of War for Fun and Profit that threatens their lives and the fate of the free world.A major mechanic of this game is "Aggro", summed up as the amount of attention you currently have from your enemies. Bigger and flashier weapons garner more aggro, and therefore, more attention, allowing your partner to move around unnoticed, while smaller, quieter, and less noticeable weapons allow you to let your partner draw attention. Aggro is represented by a meter on one side of the screen; players enter Super Mode by maintaining their place with the Aggrometer buried on one side until Overkill is activated.The sequel, Army of Two: The 40th Day, sees Salem and Rios travel to Shanghai, China for a seemingly simple contract and get caught up in a cataclysmic attack on the city. The game features numerous improvements, including massively expanded weapons customization, civilians to be rescued, moral choices and new co-op techniques like mock surrender.A third game was released in 2013: Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. which follows Alpha and Bravo, two soldiers working for Tactical Worldwide Operations in the middle of a Mexican drug war. In order to make the game a much more straightforward action game, the game removed most of the trademark gameplay mechanics like back-to-back shooting, co-op and AI interactions, and renamed the Aggro system. | |

Anyone Can Die: In The Devil's Cartel. Most of your fellow T.W.O. operatives will not live to see the end of the day, and the same applies to named associates and enemies. In fact, of the several named characters only four survive: Alpha, Bravo, Rios, and Salem. | |

Rape as Drama: Implied; in the first game, when Alice is being asked what was done to her by the SSC operatives aside from the bullet wound, her answer is, "You don't want to know." In the third game, this is the reason Fiona wants revenge on the Big Bad. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The 40th Day seems to be going down this path, with a darker tone, moral decisions, and recast voice actors for our protagonists. The Devil's Cartel is a bit of a zig-zag. When the game can split even the strongest of Heterosexual Life-Partners, ones whom we've seen experience the events of both previous games in the series hand in hand, you know it's not meant to be a light-hearted fare. But on the other hand, the game does have more humor compared to the 40th Day, and it isn't as relentlessly downbeat overall. | |

Faceless Goons | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_2044af1 | comment |
Inverted in that Rios and Salem are the Faceless Goons. The dehumanizing aspect of this trope has been noted by the developers, who have, in The 40th Day, made Salem and Rios push their masks up when out of combat to humanize them to an extent. Almost all of the other SSC mercenaries the protagonists encounter also fit this trope. This distinguishes them from other forces' grunt soldiers, who are outfitted slightly more realistically. | |

Knight in Sour Armor | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_21f7ff0f | comment |
Salem and Rios seem to have very little problem with killing a whole lot of people. Sure, the people they kill are dangerous men, and trying to kill them, and they also happen to be trained soldiers, but... Rios is arguably the more heroic/idealistic one in the original. In the sequel, Salem is, from early trailers and the demo, more idealistic/heroic and Rios is just jaded and bitter, essentially trading positions. In the third game, the two of them trade positions again, with Salem being bitterly cynical and Rios being more of a Knight in Sour Armor. | |

Anachronism Stew: The S-System is used by Rios, Salem, and the Ranger OpFor in Somalia (note that this level is set in 1993 during the Somali Civil War). The M4 carbine and its automatic variant were not formally adopted by the United States Armed Forces at that time. | |

Karma Meter: The 40th Day introduces two Karma Meters, one for Camaraderie (your ingame relationship with your partner, improved by complimenting them or doing silly stuff with them, reduced by shooting them or expressing disapproval with their actions), and one for Morality (your treatment of your enemies and allies - for example, shooting a surrendered enemy reduces your morality, while any enemy defeated non-lethally increases it). | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |

Awesome, but Impractical: The M134 minigun. Awesome because of its high rate of fire and intimidating appearance. Impractical because of its spooling-up time, which is longer than most of the windows of fire you'll have. Explosive primary weapons can kill even the most armored enemies with brute force but they have low ammo capacity and make the shooters heat skyrocket regardless of how the player customizes them. | |

Magikarp Power: In the first game the starting HK carbine is an unimpressive peashooter.

Mysterious Past: Alpha and Bravo in the third game. In one banter during the first mission, Alpha states that he'd done hostage extraction missions before, suggesting a prior career in police or military special forces (which fits well with his disciplined, professional attitude); Bravo replies that his job involved more "enforcement", but when Alpha asks if he'd done law enforcement, he offers a noncommittal dismissal of the idea, implying that he did "enforcement" of a more criminal nature. | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right! | |

Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Overlaps with 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. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_4efc4fae | comment |
Good Scars, Evil Scars: Rios has a rather nasty gash on the right side of his face throughout all three games; it serves more to accentuate his toughness than anything else. Alpha of The Devil's Cartel sports a cut held together by staples below the corner of his left eye, and it adds an occasional edge of menace to his cool, consummately professional personality. Salem gets a set of burn marks on his face after the first mission in the third game, which goes well with his Face–Heel Turn. | |

Abandon Ship: Hilarious to anyone familiar with Naval vessels, but in The 40th Day, Salem and Rios are desparately looking for a lifeboat to escape the aircraft carrier at the end of the level...running by dozens and dozens in the background (either the programmers didn't realize the large pill things are lifeboats, or ignored it for game purposes). | |

Despite there is a choice to prevent the duo killing each other in The 40th Day and it's proven to be canon, The Devil Cartel has Salem, one of the duo, becoming rogue and become the leader of the eponymous antagonistic cartel. | |

Armor Is Useless | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_638b65bc | comment |
Armor Is Useless: Subverted, certain enemies are so heavily armored that they are invulnerable from the front by bullets. The player(s) themselves certainly are much more durable when wearing better armor later in the game, and as compared to the Mooks. Played straight for Alpha and Bravo in the third game, all the armor choices are purely visual, with the leather jacket and t-shirt protecting as much as a full body suit of top of the line armor. | |

| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_7aeb0635 | comment |
Arms Dealer: In the first game, there are four dealers with their own specialty. It's worth noting that only one of them, Cha Min Soo, has an actual role in the story. Mr. Obayana from Sierra Leone deals in Primary Weapons. These include assault rifles, shotguns, machine guns (including the M134), and grenade launchers, both the Frontmount for assault rifles and the MGL MK-X. Troy Green from the US (who may or may not be a Gangland Gun Runner) sells Secondary Weapons. These consist of pistols (including revolvers), machine pistols, submachine guns, and personal defense weapons. The aforementioned Cha Min Soo, hailing from South Korea, offers the more situational Special Weapons. These include designated marksman rifles, sniper rifles, anti-materiel rifles, and shoulder-mounted launchers, if you really need that sort of firepower. The Gear dealer, the Ukrainian Viktor Roshankov, sells masks for personalization purposes. He also offers armor upgrades free of charge. | |

Deconstructed Trope | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_8aa0f76 | comment |
Deconstructed Trope: The second game deconstructs morality choices. Every time you make a choice when the game prompts you, you are shown a flash-forward of events influenced by this choice, events that Salem and Rios will, in fact, never come to know of or even suspect. The positive or negative morality of the choice you pick often has little direct bearing on these events. It's possible a choice that seems like the decent thing to do will lead to the suffering of others, being a bad person could lead to a favorable outcome for those involved, or the result could be completely neutral. Examples: 'Kill the Contact;' Kill him or spare him, it's your choice. If you kill him, you get paid, he dies. If you don't, you don't get paid, and he is later killed by another assassin while on vacation. 'Free Guns;' The bad one is to rob a guard station, causing the guard who comes in to die accidentally. The other is to leave the guns, then the guard sells them to the terrorists currently invading Shanghai. The decision with Brezhnev; The bad ending is to take the $75,000 bribe, and have Brezhnev kill the secret KGB agent. The "good" one is to shoot Brezhnev non-fatally, and then the agent shoots him. Then, her true mission of killing "political dissidents" is revealed. Next, she goes to a hospital, and shoots Brezhnev's wife and is about to shoot his child when Brezhnev shoots her. Some of those decisions do work out the way you'd hope they would, sort of. Not having the kid die to get you the sniper rifle means he goes home and rescues his parents. He's a bit traumatized by his day, but they're safe and sound. And sparing the tiger has it escape to kill a couple of robbers. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_8bbf7b51 | comment |
Hetero Sexual Life Partners: Salem and Rios, arguably, but there's a lot of Ho Yay. At the end of The 40th Day, if Salem and Rios shoot Jonah, they consign millions to their deaths because they don't know there is no nuke. This is played as The Power of Friendship, not apathy. Alpha and Bravo to a much more subdued extent. | |

No One Could Survive That!: 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. Elliot Salem survives his getaway ride getting blown up from under him in the first level of the third game. The protagonists do not find out for a while, however, and The Reveal comes as quite the shock to both of them. | |

Amusingly subverted in The 40th Day, where Alice still works with Salem and Rios and is supposed to fulfill this role, but because she is in Shanghai as it's turned to rubble, she has no internet connection, gets the small amount of information she has by overhearing some guys talking while being held prisoner by the 40th Day, and can barely talk to the protagonists through her unreliable radio. | |

Sociopathic Hero | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_9ac6b0c1 | comment |
Sociopathic Hero: Salem and Rios seem to have very little problem with killing a whole lot of people. Sure, the people they kill are dangerous men, and trying to kill them, and they also happen to be trained soldiers, but... Rios is arguably the more heroic/idealistic one in the original. In the sequel, Salem is, from early trailers and the demo, more idealistic/heroic and Rios is just jaded and bitter, essentially trading positions. In the third game, the two of them trade positions again, with Salem being bitterly cynical and Rios being more of a Knight in Sour Armor. Alpha and Bravo are much more... Well, "sane" than Salem and Rios in their game. They are pretty detached about all the killings and mayhem they commit, but are much more professional and moral than the other duo. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Philip Clyde is completely lacking what few moral qualms Rios and Salem have. In the original game the protagonists are at least ostensibly loyal to the United States and each other, while Clyde is loyal to no one but the man signing his paychecks. To make the Black-and-Gray Morality comparison even more obvious Clyde has a more evil-looking mask (which resembles a Glasgow Grin) for his Malevolent Masked Men get-up than the protagonists do. | |

| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: In the first game both the enemies (provided the player isn't landing headshots) and the protagonists can shrug off a startling amount of automatic gunfire. The sequel made the player's weapons much more lethal. In the original game, at least, your AI-controlled partner in single-player can take significantly more damage before being downed than a player-controlled character can. This added AI durability helps prevent single-player from becoming one extended Escort Mission, as a solo player WILL still get a Game Over if his AI partner dies. | |

Little Useless Gun | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_9f87b4fb | comment |
Little Useless Gun: In the original game submachine gun secondary weapons have the lowest damage per shot of anything the player can use and enemies often don't even flinch from getting hit by them, much less get knocked over as can happen with more powerful weapons. They somewhat make up for this through extreme rates of automatic fire. This doesn't apply to the Hand Cannon pistols, which can knock even the most heavily armored target on his ass with one or two hits. | |

Dumb Muscle: Rios and Salem have juvenile attitudes towards war, become patsies in a major (and rather obvious) criminal conspiracy, and are generally inept at anything besides gunning down whoever gets between them and their mercenary payday. Salem in particular is so careless with his spending and so callous about consequences that don't directly effect him he'll take on almost any fight for money. That's why he resorts to anti-intellectual scoffing whenever Rios suggests what they're doing might be wrong. The two get a bit brighter in the sequel, although they can still make really dumb decisions the worst ones are usually at the player's say-so. | |

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 gold-plated, diamond-encrusted frag grenades. In the sequel, if you apply the Pimp paint job to a RPG-7, the Aggro meter breaks the scale. | |

Sadistic Choice: In the ending of The 40th Day, Jonah's confronted with an extremely angry Salem and Rios. One has to kill the other or he'll set off a nuke his men have placed in the city. Extremely effective because we've learned by then that the entire purpose of the attack is an experiment to see how people will react. This conceals the fact that Jonah is lying, because it's perfectly in-character for him. Canonically, they didn't take the bait. | |

| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_bcf69f60 | comment |
Short-Range Shotgun: Downplayed example. While the shotguns in Army of Two have a shorter range than shotguns in real life are, they are potent at both medium and close ranges, which is far beyond the effective ranges of shotguns in most other video games. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When Salem goes into his 2X Damage Overkill, one of the lines he shouts is "GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER!" 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: This Is My Boomstick Fission Mailed If It Bleeds, We Can Kill It Big Boom! Big Badda Boom! Some of the mission titles are shoutouts, as well. Part of the Aircraft Carrier level is called "Somebody Set Us Up The Bomb". May be a coincidence, but two of the parts you can use for the M110 KAC sniper in The 40th Day are the S-L42 Charon barrel and the RMS Jericho V6 stock. Charon and Jericho are two possible NPC followers in Fallout 3 In the same vain, one of the sniper rifle barrel upgrades in both games is the MGS Sniper-Wulf. In the first game, the M92 pistol features a barrel upgrade called the "Samurai Edge;" this was the name of the custom 92's used by S.T.A.R.S. In the third game both Isaac and Carver's helmets from Dead Space 3 are available as a mask. | |

Escort Mission | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_cfda0ecb | comment |
In the original game, at least, your AI-controlled partner in single-player can take significantly more damage before being downed than a player-controlled character can. This added AI durability helps prevent single-player from becoming one extended Escort Mission, as a solo player WILL still get a Game Over if his AI partner dies. | |

The Apunkalypse | |
| Army of Two (Video Game) / int_d082b66b | comment |
The Apunkalypse: While even the most cynical gamer probably wouldn't consider the original Army of Two's 'War On Terror' setting to be apocalyptic the protagonists outfits & gear definitely take visual inspiration from this trope. This trope certainly applies to 40th Day as it takes place during a nuclear apocalypse scenario in Shanghai and both the protagonists and the enemy mooks look like particularly militaristic gunmen out of Mad Max, Fallout, or similar settings. | |

Tattooed Crook: Maybe not criminal, but certainly morally ambiguous; Alice, Salem, and Rios all get significantly tattooed up after the time skip in the original game, and Salem can be seen with the beginnings of his ink in the earlier levels. Alpha and Bravo both have tattoos that symbolize their personality. Alpha, the calm, professional, and more moral member, has one tattoo with an angel, while the hot-headed and 'us over them' thinking Bravo has various chaotic tattoos on both arms. | |

Faux Symbolism: The cover art of the first game shows what at first glance looks like a modern city skyline but several of the skyscrapers resemble guns.

Simple, yet Awesome: The M249 and PKM machine guns in the first game have huge magazines, high damage, hit hard enough to sometimes knock down even on non-fatal hits, and are excellent at building and keeping heat to draw attention off your partner. Their only significant downsides are mediocre accuracy and attracting enemy attention quickly, regardless of customization options. | |
