EA's Army of Two has been accused of being a bit too American at times, but the lead designers disagree. And they should know - they are Canadian!

"AMERICA! HELL YEAH!" ? Did anyone else get a Team America: World Police vibe right there?

And is that allot or just average? on the salary side that is?

mmorgue · 17th Mar 2008, 14:52

90k is quite good in Canada.. generally speaking for IT.

HourBeforeDawn · 17th Mar 2008, 17:05

Army of One....

Army of Two...

well I can see how people think this is an American based game.

Cadillac Ferd · 17th Mar 2008, 18:28

AMERICAAAA! **** YEAH!
COMING AGAIN TO SAY THE MOTHER ****ING DAY YEAAH!

No but seriously, it is pretty funny that people would confuse the underlying emperialistic attitude of the Québécois with us, their peace-loving neighbors to the South.

moshpit · 17th Mar 2008, 22:42

ROFL!!! Too american, hehehehe, and made by Canadians

That just HAS to be the funniest thing I've seen all week. I agree with the dev on this one, the fuss over Army of Two is unwarranted. Blame Canada!

Jipa · 17th Mar 2008, 23:37

Made by French that have already taken over Canada.. What ever, I still dare to reckon that shooting waves of suicidebombers is kinda American kind of entertainment.

HourBeforeDawn · 18th Mar 2008, 04:11

^^^ no get it right its waves and waves of Undead Zombies sheesh.....

Yemerich · 28th Mar 2008, 11:20

I was playing World in conflict.
And again the bad ppl are the russians.

If the russians do the opposite, like making a game that americans invade Iraq for "excuse" purposes, i bet there would be lots of ppl saying that would be "anti-american".

Oh it would just be the Americans huh? Because the S.A.S. (Not an American entity but European/British) weren't fighting the "Terrorists" in Russia during the events of Call of Duty 4 correct?
