ArmA II expands with Arrowhead News

PC News by Robert Purchese

14 August, 2009

IDEA and Bohemia have revealed an expansion for modern-day war game ArmA II.

Dubbed Operation Arrowhead, the add-on is standalone, so there's no need to own the original campaign.

The story takes place three years after ArmA II, and follows the US Army into Takistan on a peace restoration mission. That's central-Asia, by the way, which allowed Bohemia a chance for a change of scenery.

Otherwise, Operation Arrowhead is more of the same: more exhaustive tactical choice and strategising, and more role-swapping within the army, from Special Ops to infantry grunt.

We're to get a proper look at Operation Arrowhead at gamescom next week. Until then, you find a couple of screenshots in our ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead gallery.

ArmA II appeared earlier this summer on PC, and is one of the best modern-day�army shooters around. Our review explains why.

OHARA[BIS]:Works on expansion CG started at january this year at Brno (ALTAR team) and after A2 release, rest of art people in Mnisek connected to that work. Programmers and designers now fixing A2 and branched project, when fixes are released as patches. As expect that design bugs in A2 are near to be solved (most of bugs is now in engine not in design), designers moved/will move to Arowhead. Programers as they work on expansion automaticaly fixing A2 engine, so dont worry.
