Try to Google the custom mask creator and somehow create one for the trophy. Good thing I got this before all the changes happened. Awesome! Unfortunate for those who cant get this trophy now. Salem has an Iron Man mask, and it makes playing the campaign more fun.Įdit: Whoa! I guess the site changed for the new game coming out. Hell, my main is Rios and I have a War Machine mask. From what I see, the site is very popular, and people love creating custom masks to use on AoT. I sent 2 masks to my game the other night, so I doubt the site is down. Then, you just go to the custom mask bit, create your own, send it to your game, and done. You need to register on the site through EA, then log in on the aot.com site. Partner AI can handle enemies fairly well, never forcing me to babysit them in any section of the game.You just need to go to Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel. In fact, this is one of the redeeming features of the experience. I never once felt the need for a co-op partner during the campaign. Sadly that only lasts for a few levels as the design of the experience bottlenecks players down specific paths, eliminating any chance of inventiveness. Adding a friend to the mix helps alleviate some of the tedium by letting players get creative in their approach. Playing cooperatively has always been the highlight of the series, and Devil’s Cartel is no exception. Considering the loss of the aggro meter, it also feels like the rest of the game a massive step backwards. This is a nice way to get out of sticky situations, but never feels like a game-changer. Once full, tapping the left bumper sends both Alpha and Bravo into a frenzied state, making them invulnerable to bullet fire as well as granting infinite ammo. This is a meter that slowly fills up over time. The one new feature added to the experience is called Overkill, and it is exactly that.

Adding a skin to a weapon doesn’t change its base stats, and adding a scope does little to remedy the lackluster shooting mechanics. Even rankings matter very little in the grand scheme of things. Unfortunately nearly all of the upgrades are purely cosmetic. More creative kills earn more points, which are used to purchase new weapons, attachments and skins for both the character’s firearms and masks. Each kill comes attached to a set of points. The layout consists of moving into an area, triggering collections of enemies, then taking cover and mowing them down. The entire game is broken into checkpoints, set up like an arcade shooting gallery. One of these games is not like the other… Instead, gamers are presented with a slogging campaign that runs roughly seven hours of dashing behind cover and shooting down repetitive waves of enemies. Features such as competitive multiplayer and aggro meter have been severed, and there are no longer moral choices to be made along the way.

The Devil’s Cartel has stripped away many of the core game elements the series has become known for. The lack of my favorite protagonists is not the only change though. I could have dealt with all the story’s shortcomings if Alpha and Bravo were even a fraction as cheesily-charming as Salem and Rios. The locales never feel authentic, and the enemy chatter barely graduates past screaming profanities at the duo and plenty of screams of death. In reality this only gives a backdrop to gun down hordes of brainless enemies over and over, ad nauseum. The plot revolves around Alpha and Bravo on a mission in Mexico to rescue a political prisoner from a drug cartel’s private army. The narrative doesn’t make up for the lack of character interaction either. Neither of these two new bro-fisters bring the level of charm Salem and Rios deliver, but instead resort to attempting a more serious tone that falls flat in a shooter dominated by sleeve tattoos and hockey masks. In their place we get Alpha and Bravo, quite possibly the worst-named duo in gaming ever, while Salem and Rios are instead delegated to supporting roles. Their removal might not seem like such a bad thing considering their immense cheesiness, but this actually removes what made the previous games as enjoyable as they were. The biggest change in The Devil’s Cartel is the replacement of the series’ cheesy heroes Salem and Rios. The latest entry feels like a step backwards in an already mediocre shooter experience. Well, it certainly delivers on having both of those bullet points, but also removes everything that makes the series what it is.

I was prepared for The Devil’s Cartel to be more of the same, with new characters and a new setting. They were dumb, bro-fist shooters that focused on cooperative play and terrible jokes.

I am comfortable enough to openly admit that I enjoyed the previous two Army of Two games.
