I'd guess not. It would probably be over your console network.
Although split screen multi-player would be a blast of nostalgia.

I miss split screen, some of my best memories are me and my friend sitting down on my couch, having like, 5 packages and pepporoni and playing gears of war :(
Multiplayer isnt the same when you can cold sock your friend to get a kill

Swap Gears of War for GoldenEye and I'm right there with ya!

I don't expect it to get flak for being too soon with the militia angle, I expect it to catch flak because "they're makin' fun of Christians!".
I think the biggest issue with the game will be that it's set in a fairly specific place. Not a real town, of course, but "Montana" is a lot more specific than "the South Pacific", "Central Africa", "Southeast Asia", or "The Himalayas".
Not that Ubi can't pull it off, I fully expect a story arc along the lines of Walking Tall or similar, but it will have to be a lot more careful with its caricatures.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

I found Outlast 2 to be quite intriguing. If they pull this game off well, then there shouldn't be too much room to complain.

Far Cry 4 was the only game I played in the series and that was with a buddy. I tried Primal and it was a letdown but I must admit that it has peaked my interest, I will be following this game with interest.
Sgt. Vanden I bet Irish can do that by flashing his bear chest.

Of course there's a petition. Many people are too stupid to pick up on the fact that it looks like its a parody like you said

Sternguard though, those guys are all about kicking ass. They'd chew bubble gum as well, but bubble gum is heretical. Only tau chew gum
Maybe that will be their 'sit and wait for him to come back' ending.
I don't imagine deputy sheriffs have the power to call in the guard. Nor would a governor listen if they did so. Imagine how far you'd get if you called your governor and told him your town was overrun by a violent death cult.
Well, I'm sure if you're calling the Governor to get him to activate the NG you're sending actual evidence of whats going on, and not just providing hearsay.
Or the NG is in on it, and they become the enemy of the latter 3rd of the game! Like that white dude and his mercenary army on the second island was in Farcry 3.
If only to add tanks and legit attack helicopters, instead of the standard technicals and transport helos of the previous games.
A corrupt NG officer working with the Cult cause 'reasons' it could work. Probably piss more people off.

Yeah, it's gonna require a bit of suspension of disbelief that you can't just call for heavy backup in the modern day US. Maybe the cult has important hostages or some such.
Has it been confirmed that the PC is a Deputy Sheriff?
That is what the source claimed in the "PCGamesN" video that I put up on the last page of this thread. I'm sure Ubisoft will say more at E3.

More likely, the local LE (city and county) would contact the Feds for assistance, who would then ask the governor for the NG if they felt it was needed.

I'm sure I can manage to suspend disbelief for the game, I could suspend it for most of the Matt Reilly Books.

Oh absolutely. In FC4 I was some punk kid from Cali, then I crashed my Jeep, then 5 minutes later I'm stalking soldiers and slitting throats like I'm Agent 47.

You can be reluctant, but still a natural. To be fair to Jason (wow what an awful taste that left) pretty much all the characters in 3 were awful with a couple exceptions.
Ajay: I realized my true calling in life... gak, man, I'm a natural born killer!

Looks like you'd expect. I like that they have opened up the world from the get-go.
