History YMMV / ArmyOfTwo

*** On a more serious note, in the ''Penny Arcade'' podcast, they said that they would actually have enjoyed the game a great deal more if Salem and Rios' reason for leaving the army after the tutorial level was a [=DADT=] violation. If nothing else was changed, it would paradoxically change everything just by [[ForWantOfANail altering one small detail]].

* HilariousInHindsight: Bravo in ''Devil's Cartel'' bears a resemblance to Benicio Del Toro. In 2015, the latter starred in ''Film/{{Sicario}}''.

* NightmareFuel: Watching Shanghai go from vibrant city to a pile of rubble in ''The 40th Day'', especially when watching the way the 40th Day Initiative [[KillEmAll treats civilians]].

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: In Devil's Cartel, for one [[spoiler:Salem became a traitorous psychopath and all the named characters are unceremoniously killed off throughout the course of the game with the exception of Alpha, Bravo, Rios, and Salem himself, who is taken by the authorities.]]

* HoYay: Salem and Rios spend a lot of time together. To make it even more obvious, they only airdrop via tandem parachute. Sure, it may be so that one guy can shoot the Mooks on the ground, but there's got to be more to it, right? Needless to say, WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation had a lot of fun with this[[note]]he later claims he was being facetious, that he can barely go 4 hours in a day without making a gay joke at ''someone's'' expense, and that the protagonists remind him more of rowdy schoolboys that gays[[/note]]. And let's not forget the minor details like body language, the way they talk to each other, and how there is absolutely no typical action-hero flirting with MissionControl. They bicker LikeAnOldMarriedCouple.
** ''Webcomic/PennyArcade'' [[http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/03/16/let-this-mask-hide-the-tears agrees with you]].

** A developer in [[http://www.gametrailers.com/gametrailerstv_player.php?ep=58&ch=1&sd=0 this video]] more or less says it wasn't intentional, but has no problem with the interpretation.
** Although to be fair to our bromantic muscleheads, some of their taunts do involve invoking the ladies back home to "lift their shirts" in appreciation. Plus, in the backstory comic Rios has a on again/off again relationship to a woman named Samantha, and has a daughter named Nala. Salem? He just targets anything with breasts in Miami.
*** Needless to say, many fans are asking [[BiTheWay why both interpretations can't be true?]]
