There's some of that in BC2 but it's easier to see the story relevance of your actions in most situations. The campaign for the original Bad Company was a loosely strung together series of generic first-person shooter tasks, like blowing up radar arrays or securing bases. It's no surprise that many people in multiplayer just act like Rambo. For all of its flaws, Army of Two makes teamwork integral to the single-player experience. It's a bit like Call of Duty in that these allies just feel like extras in your own little action movie. You have companions, yes, but their presence doesn't affect how you approach the game at all. However, the game really feels like a solo shooter.
The game's multiplayer emphasizes the importance of four-man squads working together and in a perfect world the single-player would train you to work in a group. Still, it's not enough for your three squadmates to simply not be a pain in the ass. The temptation to shoot them in the back of the head (even though it wouldn't do any good) is therefore low. Though your comrades are not compelling characters (their personalities can be summed up as "Texan," "nerd," and "Danny Glover in Lethal Weapon"), they have some occasionally witty banter. You never have to sit around waiting for them to catch up to you or get in your vehicle, either, as the game often warps them to your position. They never die or get wounded so you don't have to run around saving them. They actually manage to kill enemies on a regular basis I never tried it but they could probably win a number of fights by themselves.
It's regrettable that there's no option for co-op here but at least the companions aren't a hindrance. You control one member of the squad while the other three are A.I.
Yes, seems like the sort of thing you'd outsource to a group of soldiers who went AWOL. They're now working for the US military again and are entrusted with a mission that could decide the fate of the United States. In the first game, they had ditched their posts to steal a bunch of gold from a foreign military but those events are never mentioned in BC2. The two games at least have the same main characters, a group of wise-cracking AWOL American soldiers. BF:BC2 is a continuation of the storyline from the first Bad Company, kind of.
