Nooooo!! Army of Two was great BECAUSE it had so much over the top ridiculousness! I mean, what other game allows you to fist bump with your partner??
Some of the best dialogue ever too: "Survey says: you're dead!"

No! Not the Pearl Ivory Tower! Is the Hagen Daz across the street safe?!?! Please tell me the Hagen Daz across the street is safe!
They're gonna pay for this.

This is not the direction I would have gone with this. Every game seems to be going with this hyper-realistic, block-buster, Micheal Bay, action style that takes itself way too seriously. I would have gone the complete opposite way and brought this into the realm of Commando, Tango & Cash, etc. Super cheesy lines when you kill guys, funny banter between the two characters and such. Just make it really fun, cheesy, and mindless.
Side note - why did the villian in Commando look like a fat Freddie Mercury wearing a chain male vest and leather pants?!
"Let off some steam, Bennet"

Did you even pay attention to the story? It was like a knock-off of a Tom Clancy book.
Still and all, the game was fun. I very much enjoyed pimping each and every weapon. GOOOOOOOLLLDD!

The first game was fine, but lacked those stand-out moments that can make a game great and had many little quirks I didn't enjoy. Everything I've seen from the sequel leads me to believe that they have improved everything I enjoyed (coop play, weapon customization) and toned down the things I didn't like (ridiculous macho asshats, stupid story). On top of that the new location looks incredible, judging based on the in-game footage they have shown, with a more detail and colour.
I'm looking forward to this game much more than I thought I would.

Cue all the Chinese nationals (I'm Asian by the way) that was originally born in Shanghai and living in US moanin and bitchin about the scene of Shanghai being destroyed and compare it to Modern Warfare 2's cruelty to Russian, and the destruction of DC in 3..2...1

Actually...there is a hug button. When not in combat pressing A does a positive emote, and B does a negative. There are a bunch of different emotes, but Rios can give Salem a giant bear hug...

I didn't realize blowing stuff up qualified as 'more serious'.

Apparently you missed how horribly that was received from the first game.
