We were a little lukewarm on
Army of Two as a complete package, but the best part of the game was easily playing through with a friend. (And at-will
fist pounding.) Now, EA's building on that strength with the "SSC Challenge Pack," four co-op maps that pit a pair of two-man teams against each other as they try to earn the most cash and join the SSC,
AoT's private military group.
We should mention, in the interest of full disclosure, that the maps (to our knowledge) include no new fists pounds or air guitar solos. Sorry. The SSC Challenge Pack, which will hit Xbox Live Marketplace and PSN on April 24, will run you $7.50 or 600 MS points, if you prefer imaginary currency.

If you have something that could have gone in the game, but it sucks if you are just going to milk a little money out of people who bought the game.
Unless this was truly a whole new add-on like Mass Effect DLC.

You don't know how right you are. According to the interview with the staff on the recent GameInformer magazine; there were more maps intended but weren't up to QA by time of going gold. Which basically translates to:
"If this game sells well enough, expect DLC of maps/items that would've been in the game if we opted to delay it again... but thanks to marketing forcing us to get it out the door; this recent DLC makes us look better by seemingly being prompt in providing extra shiz'nit."

I went through it 3 times as well and it grew on me too like you mentioned. I'm not going to lie, when it *wasnt laggy it wasnt all that bad and you really did need to have communication with your partner FTW.

The "asshole" in the demo (can't remember his name) the one you have to meet up with, seemed like the best character in the game. I'd rather play a surely merc than a pair of fat headed frat boys with guns.
If that skinny douche said "bro" one more time, I was about to put a controller through my TV.
I am not calling the entire fanbase of AoT frat jock douches, I just feel that it, like madden and sadly halo, appeal to them more than myself.
I myself would perfer more single-player DLC as well.

my buddy and I got to 880 gamer points and we're just going to trade the game in now because we'll never play enough multiplayer to get any more points.
