#ARMY OF TWO MASKS HELMET PS3#
The PS3 version of Army of Two is the first game for the console to be region-locked for online play.
Dependence on a partner (whether human or PAI) is so pronounced that most objectives are impossible to complete without it. While the game is meant to be played with another human as a partner, a "Partner Artificial Intelligence"(PAI) is also included and programmed to follow the player's strategies. Skills were also require to hit a target while moving, and trying to watch their unprotected rear.Army of Two is a third person shooter video game developed by Electronic Arts, released on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, focusing on two mercenaries fighting through war, political turmoil, and a conspiracy from 1993 to 2009.įocusing on cooperative strategies, Army of Two's main feature is the necessity to use coordinated teamwork to accomplish the game's goals. This maneuver required great horsemanship, as one must throw his javelin at his target while trying to defend himself with the shield. His other team-mates will attempt to hit the passing attacker. The opposing team would then try to hit the defenders, as the defenders protect themselves with their shields. With their shields, the teams will form a cavalry version of the testudo, with two of the defenders at the front to act as a target of the opposing team. Their version of the military shield was lighter, to not sacrifice mobility. The teams were armed with mock weapons, like fake javelins and darts, as well as a large shield.
One would play the attackers, the other, the defenders. They held their tournament outside the fort, and the players were divided into two opposing teams. The horses were also armored for protection. And since this was just a game, no one was expected to kill each other, unlike gladiatorial combats. Going back to the event, it aimed to allow the Roman cavalry both to practice their moves, and display their skills as well (and what a way to do it in decorated armor and mask). The horses have frontlets carefully made to measure and also have side armour. On their legs they wear tight trousers, not loosely fitting like those of the Parthians and Armenians. Instead of breastplates the horsemen wear close-fitting Cimmerian tunics embroidered with scarlet, red or blue and other colours. They carry oblong shields of a lighter type than those used in action, since both agility and smart turnout are the objects of the exercise and they improve the appearance of their shields by embellishment. As the horses move forward, the slightest breeze adds to the beauty of these plumes. From the helmets hang yellow plumes, a matter of décor as much as utility. Unlike the helmets made for active service, these do not cover the head and cheeks only but are made to fit all round the faces of the riders with apertures for the eyes.
The horsemen enter fully armed, and those of high rank or superior in horsemanship wear gilded helmets of iron or bronze to draw the attention of the spectators.
