ARMA II Operation Arrowhead

Prague, June 10th – Award-winning independent development studio, Bohemia Interactive, is pleased to announce the release of the latest video update for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, a massive standalone expansion pack to the best military simulator of 2009: Arma 2. This second video from the planned series of updates is now declassified and ready for immediate analysis at http://www.arma2.com

"We, soldiers of the Revolutionary Army, formed in the glorious days of the restoration of our true and only motherland, forever shatter the chains that have bonded us in subjugation. We pledge to remember the unavenged harms of centuries past, and now, in front of our beloved nation, we take this vow." - Foreword to the Oath of Allegiance of the newly formed Takistani Army in 1992

The Takistani Army is equipped with a mixture of Cold-War-era equipment of both Eastern and Western bloc origin, supplied during the interregnum of 1988-91. Local or supreme warlords command and control military manpower across local tribal forces. Several main factions control military vehicles and aircraft either stolen from or supplied by the Soviets; however, their numbers and capabilities are limited.

Armed with FN FALs, AKS-74s rifles, PKMs and other personal weapons, soldiers usually wear distinct steel helmets and khaki or lizard-patterned uniforms; special military police forces also wear black turbans. The Takistan army chiefly employs Soviet Cold-War era vehicles: T-34, T-55 and T-72 tanks, BRDM-2 personnel carriers, UAZ cars and V3S trucks. Military vehicles are painted in irregular amorphous-shaped fields of desert yellow and dark green.

The Takistani Air Force uses the Mi-24D helicopter gunships, L-39ZA light attack aircraft and Mi-8 transport helicopters. The close air support role is provided by type Su-25 aircraft. Special weapons regiments are known to exist, which can deploy a stockpile of SS-1c Scud-B missiles. It is also believed that secret weapons development programmes have sought to produce and procure chemical WMDs, as a result of Soviet-backed schemes aimed at maximizing regional influence.

Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead will be released exclusively for PC on 29th June 2010. For all the latest information, please visit www.arma2.com

Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead doesn't require the original Arma 2, but will upgrade it with the latest features and improvements, and integrates all content into one massive military library for the ultimate combat experience.
