ArmA II expands with Arrowhead
Standalone add-on at gamescom.
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.
