Yeah i was hoping it was going to release late december before the holidays, but January 12 isn't that far from there. Seems like they fixed many of the problems, and they added more features. So i can't wait for this game. Oh and Battlefield Bad company 2 comes out 2010 I can't wait.

I wish they would of released it on February 9th. Its the 40th day of the year, and its a Tuesday, the day of the week when American media is released, it would of been a perfect day, especially a nice promotional thing.

Wasn't really into gaming when the 1st came out. Will I need to have played the first for this to make sense? Because this looks good.

Wasn't really a big fan of Army of Two.

I may get the second one for the hell of it. If the achievements are suitable.

Why don't you pick it now? Maybe a rental will do if you're just purely interested in going through it once (doesn't take too long on standard difficulty).

It might be helpful to get used to the control scheme by at least renting the first one. Unless they changed the controls drastically. There are some subtle differences between AOT and other simliar games that can take some getting used to.

I'm looking forward to this.

The controls have been changed a bunch. Many of the functions are the same as similar titles, although there are still some that are unique to AO2 (although many of them have on-screen prompts now). If you're a shooter fan you shouldn't have a problem just picking it up.
