One year after British and coalition armed forces successfully quelled the insurgent uprising in Takistan, the NATO Green Sea deployment is in the process of a strategic drawdown of its combat troops in the region.
Building upon this unique game mode, the Multiplayer Armory enables players to try out all weapons and every single vehicle model from Arma 2 in dynamically generated missions with up to eight friends online or over LAN. The original Armory mode - an interactive library featuring all in-game models - was first introduced in Arma 2. I'll have more ArmA write-ups for you through the rest of the month (and year, assuredly), mostly because I can't help myself from telling people about it.ĪrmA 2 is half-price in today's Steam sale, grab it for $19.99 / £12.49 / €14.99 by 6PM BST / 1PM EDT (30/06/10.Bohemia Interactive has announced a new release date for its add-on, Arma 2: Private Military Company.Įxpected to launch on November 24, it will instead arrive on November 30, and ARMEX, the multiplayer armory, will be also available for both Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead and Arma 2: British Armed Forces.
Its complexity and improvisational spirit represent some of the essentials of PC gaming, as does its moddability. My bottom-line: don't let taglines like “ultimate military simulator” deter you from ArmA. At its best, ArmA resembles you and your eight-year-old friends playing backyard army-taxiing teammates to a sniping point in your tank, chasing down parachuting enemies by motorbike, or firing advanced weapons that you have absolutely no certification in. Having a crew to chew through co-op missions with in ArmA balances the hard, nuanced, nose-in-the-grass realism that's often frustrating in its single-player campaign (accounting for bullet drop and recoil wrangling the vehicle dynamics) with a healthy amount of co-op camaraderie and nonsensical multiplayer. Most of that is driven by the community of people that you play with- we've got a great one, as do the folks at Shack Tactical and Tactical Gamer. And that sense of ownership can be more valuable than fulfilling a set of plot points someone else has written for you.
