Army of Two and Army of Two (EU)

Why are there two versions of this for the 360?

EA has explained the reason why.

And as we suspected, it came down to the servers not being able to cope with the cross-Atlantic lag. "While not generally a problem for COOP, since most people play coop with friends, when playing in Versus mode 3 people can be highly adversely affected by one player with a bad connection," explained producer Reid Schneider. "We use the region lock to minimize the likelihood of this occurring."

EA say that the problem is being looked at but then it's revealed that those in Asia have it even worse. Not only can they not shoot at the corpses in-game due to territory requirements but worse, that single omission makes the Asian version of Army Of Two completely incompatible with the others, meaning they'll never get to play online with us.

It's bizarre, that EA has decided to lock out various regions to prevent us running into laggy games. Who's going to insult our accents online now?

So there you go, and the Achievments are the same, so us brits are not losing out, but the yanks are, cus we pwan their arses at all games Smile

For those of you who have bought this but did not preorder, therefore did not get the pre order code... do this....
I sent this to Game:

Hi I preordered Army of Two in my local GAME store and when I collected it all was fine, Subsequently I read that people were supposed t get a special code to unlock additional items in the game and I called my local store and was told they had not, themselves, preordered enough and so I should mail you to request the code? Thanks Ryan

Within 2 days I got an email back with the code and have now unlocked a monster SMG and a high explosive sniper cannon.....

It's just for the sake of a level playing field.
I bought Ace Combat on 360 from there and was supposed to get codes for some planes but they didn't have any so had to pay for them.
So now I have got codes I deserve....
