ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead Arrives In June!
Bohemia Interactive is pleased to announce that Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead , the forthcoming standalone expansion pack for Arma 2, best military simulator of 2009, will be available to buy from June 29th. Developed as a massive standalone expansion pack enlarging Arma 2 to a completely new level, Operation Arrowhead promises to deliver yet more of the highly authentic military simulation gameplay the series is famed for, while shifting the action to an all-new environment and adding key new features to Arma 2’s already vast palette
Set in the
fictional region of Takistan and taking place three years after
the Arma 2’s campaign, Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead features three new
world maps with radical new terrain; sandy deserts, a dense city with
surrounding countryside and a rocky mountainous region. Also
included in the standalone expansion pack is support for controlling
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to observe, strike and rescue from
afar, along with a fully-modelled FLIR thermal imaging simulation
with unprecedented realism to give the player advantages while working
at night, going as far as to model vehicle engine heat, tyre friction
and even glowing weapon barrels after being fired. A new campaign is
included, with Bohemia Interactive taking the experience gained from
its previous games, combined with real world events and political
intrigue, to create a storyline that serves as a chilling reminder to
the geo-political situation the world finds itself in on a constant
basis. Other new features include a detachable backpack system
for carrying more weapons and ammunition, and an overhauled optics
system allowing keen marksmen to ‘zero in’ their scopes to account
for ballistic fall-off.
ARMA 2: Operation
Arrowhead employs
a third-generation engine benefitting from more than a decade of
continual development and unique experience in implementing new
technologies and procedures. Named the Real Virtuality engine, it is
widely recognised as the premier platform for modern military
simulations where realism and technical accuracy are crucial.
Bohemia Interactive Studio’s Real Virtuality engine is used as a base
for real-world training simulators implemented by numerous governments
and militaries around the world including the United States Marine
Corps, the United Kingdom Minstry of Defence and the Australian Defence
Force.
