ArmA Expansion Pack Follows Queen's Gambit
by Chris Faylor, Jun 18, 2007 8:38am PDTEuropean publisher 505 Games has announced the first expansion pack for Bohemia Interactive's realistic combat simulator ArmA: Armed Assault, released in the US as ArmA: Combat Operations. Titled ArmA: Queen's Gambit and co-developed by Black Element Software, the expansion will add two new story-centric campaigns--Rahmadi Conflict, billed as, "the true conclusion to the original ArmA story" and Royal Flush, set 18 months after the original campaign--as well as two new multiplayer missions--the 40-player Battle of Porto and Urban Assault, a co-op mission maximized for only 6 players. Queen's Gambit will also bring with it the final 1.08 patch, which will add new weapons, vehicles, characters, gun dealers, a resource management feature, technical tweaks, and the ability for North American players to fight alongside the rest of the international ArmA community. Along with today's announcement, 505 Games sent along a batch of screenshots showcasing the new areas and missions.
ArmA: Queen's Gambit is expected to release in Europe during Q3 2007. Shacknews has contacted Atari for details on a US release.

I hope that we're in a situation like what happened with OFP. Red Hammer was released as an addon for it first, and that was done by another team (similar to what is happening here, it seems). It wasn't a huge expansion, but it did have a campaign and some new gear (similar to this, again). After that, awhile later, came the really substantial Resistance expansion by BIS themselves. That was all kinds of hotness. If that's the path that ArmA is taking, I'm looking forward to it.
