ARMA 2 Standalone Expansion Announced

18
A new ARMA II standalone expansion titled 'Operation Arrowhead' will deploy to the hilly fictional Central Asian country of Takistan, Bohemia Interactive has announced today.

Players will be resorting peace and protecting civilians as the US Army in roles "from basic infantrymen, through special operatives, to pilots and tank crew," says Bohemia.

"This will not only allow us to introduce a new and original theater of war... but also improve numerous areas of the core game, for both the original game and the expansion, where we can go even further with adding completely new features," said Bohemia CEO Marek Spanel of the PC battlefield simulator's expansion.

No release date has been given for ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead.

          By introducing new islands, vehicles and objects? Chances are you can't play online anymore on most servers or use new mods that depend on the expansion content. Just like Queen's Gambit for ArmA1. Pay more or play alone.

          Unless they release all the new stuff as a free patch save for the new campaign which isn't gonna happen because everyone knows their broken campaigns aren't worth shit.

            What? You loose the ability to play arma2 online when this comes out? I don't get it.
            "everyone knows their broken campaigns aren't worth shit."
            Playing the arma2 campaign co-op was the coolest gaming experiance I've had this year.

              No I don't loose lose it but I can't play with the people I like to play with without buying the new game. The servers will be upgraded to the next iteration of the game. Do you understand now or do I need to repeat my self again?

      They did this with ArmA 1 as well. Still an amazing game, bugs or no.
