We've never felt satisfied by the weapon customization options afforded to us by first-person shooters. Oh, three different kinds of scopes? An optional grenade launcher attachment? Yeah, those are pretty cool, we guess -- however, we'd also like a different stock, ammo clip, suppressor and barrel on there as well. Hey, while we're at it, we also need a blender. You know, for when we require a cool coconut smoothie in the middle of a heated firefight.
The latest trailer for Army of Two: The 40th Day gives us a look into the weapon customization engine we've always dreamed of, giving us unparalleled control over our in-game boomsticks. You can quickly turn your military grade M107 into a hulking, unwieldy monstrosity, complete with hideous, circus-themed camouflage. Sadly, the above trailer doesn't show off any kitchen appliance attachments -- we're sure they'll show up as DLC shortly after the game launches on January 12.
Army of Two: The 40th Day to offer weapon customization, garish camo

I'm confused. Does Griffin hate the customization and is being sarcastic? Or does he really like it and is making jokes about the extreme amount of customization. In my opinion, the more customization the merrier. If you don't want to use a certain camo, then don't. I'm sure someone else will. It's like picking one color of controller over another when you have 10x more than enough money to get both colors. If one breaks, then you've got another ready to go.

I remember when they said this would happen in the first Army of Two, and guess what, it didn't.
hopefully now they will actually come through.

"Ammo clip"
Unless you're shooting a revolver or a rifle like the M1, Lee Enfield, etc, it's a magazine, not a clip.

Robin,
You must have missed the boat earlier. Fox news reported that Modern Warfare 2 allows 8 year olds to become terrorists and kill people and there's nothing we can do to stop them.
Google it and chill out a little, it was a joke.

All they need to do is fix the melee issues with the first game and this will be one of the best games in 2010. I loved the first game and I thought the multiplayer was amazing it's just the melee was completely broken. The first one had some awesome customization but this just blows it out of the water.

I used to love how one melee attack had you giving the enemy a swift knee to the ass, followed by the enemy's forward flip and subsequent death. Nice.

#1. What no RPG with a 50 caliber attachment??? I thought this was Customization??
#2. If you have ever played a Army of Two game you will stay away they suck.
#3. This is an EA product need I remind many gamers of our secret not so secret Embargo against anything made by EA, shhhhh. Its been 10 years for me going strong no money for EA.
#4. What No Heartbeat Sensor, No Throwing Knife? No Thermals ?
#5. I can guarantee you 100% EA will deliberately leave out the BEST weapons and Attachments, To be Sold Later as DLC.
remember what they tried with Battlefield a few years back??
I seriously doubt, that letting go into battle with a Cotton Candy AK47, will sway gamers.
Remember what happened with EA's SPORE, the whole build your own customization thing did not go over so well.

Take Notice of the top right corner of the video.
PART Cost: 40
my guess is that means 40 Microsoft points per attachment
aside from the one you unlock or earn during the game.
I am sure EA will say some PR lingo. Of how this is What Customers are Asking For, or how it deepens and broadens the experience.
Plus with all those attachments, the AI must really suck, having to cope with a guy carrying, a Silenced AK 47 with a 100 round drum, bayonet, RPG and Scope.
All I see is Crap AI, and force fed level design
Don't get robbed. by EA.
