BLOOD, INTENSE VIOLANCE AND STRONG LANGUAGE

Elliott Salem, Needs money so always looking forward to a war. Salem is the one who wares the flashy flames on his armor. He’s the smaller guy so that makes it easier to use him instead of Rios because he hides better, but when using Salem he doesn’t take hits very well, Rios can take more abuse and doesn’t freak out as bad when pinned down buy constant fire.

Tyson Rios (TY), a war vet who was badly scared from Dessert Storm when a bomb blew up in front of him, the more level headed one of two . Since he has more combat experience. He’s the BIG guy , With the Grim Reaper mask on, he likes to have big skulls all over his armor.

This game starts out in training, where you the player gets to learn how to use the 2 players format when in the field. How to use AGGRO and how to save your partner and how to shoot at the same time using sniper rifles as well as back to back firing.

This is a very important part of the game to learn so when you get into the game you the player doesn’t have a hard time in a tight situation and freak out and get yourself killed!

You have many weapons to choose from. You have a primary weapon, secondary, special and finally your gear. During game play like after your done with a mission you get a chance to upgrade weapons and gear so you can have more AGGRO, protections , damage or accuracy. When one character has the better weapon like Rios has a strong primary weapon, Salem gets the weaker primary weapon , because one needs more AGGRO to let the other sneak and pick off enemies easier. (AGGRO) you get all the attention of the enemies and take most of their fire, while the other can sneak around and kill the enemies and they never know he’s there. That is what’s cool about AGGRO.

You have your inventory wheel, it allows you to choose which weapon you want to fire. Partner wheel lets you control you partner. Allows you to regroup, go forward, hold position and be come aggressive/passive.

So learning these are a big key to your survival. If you don’t you will be saving your partner all the time and it sucks while your under fire and taking hits yourself. Unless you’re a crazy person who goes head first and doesn’t care if your getting shot at or not . FYI, Rios is a better candidate to charge at enemies since he takes bullets better. Salem whines when his going in first. Salem is the better sniper, so when it comes down to sniper shots use Salem.
