Sequel to a so-so game but I guess EA needed to make money off the engine and/or it was cheaper to develop the sequel with little work. I love Co-Op games but yeah, Borderlands and Left 4 Dead 2 are the better way to go for sure.



It's just that simple.

Cause it's a bad game?



The game isn't bad, it's average. It has favorable reviews on Amazon from actual buyers and a decent Metacritic score.

It is a sequel to an average game that didn't really do anything new besides co-op.



Because the market is already saturated with great FPS games. Unless you are doing something that is really original or is part of a well established existing IP, then sales will be low. I remember hearing loads of complaints about the first one and I never played it as a result. TBH, I was surprised when I heard a sequel was in the works.

It got lost among all the Q1 Games.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.
