Arma 2: British Armed Forces
Keeping a stiff upper lip and available for download now.
Prague, Czech Republic 26th August - Bohemia Interactive is pleased to announce the reinforcement of Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, with British Armed Forces providing a surge in support of the ongoing coalition deployment in Takistan. Next in the line-up of military simulators, Arma 2: British Armed Forces (BAF) - a huge downloadable add-on for the recently released Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead - deploys today and delivers a new campaign, numerous single missions and a brand new faction and environment, expanding upon the already epic collection offered up by Arma 2's ''MilSim'' sandbox.
Less than two months after Operation Arrowhead successfully routed the Takistani military regime, NATO and coalition forces face a large-scale outbreak of guerrilla insurgency. A mechanized force of Her Majesty's Armed Forces are about to deploy and embark upon a large-scale counter-insurgency campaign, which will define the future of the coalition presence in Takistan: Operation "Crimson Lance".
BAF provides an opportunity to explore the beautiful country of Takistan in even more depth, and offers the chance to hop across the border to Karzeghistan in the Shapur e-Dalanper region - a brand new area included as bonus content. A small, strategically important area, Shapur consists of pockets of densely developed settlements and industrial complexes within its regional boundaries, located just on the Karzeghi side of Takistan’s volatile borderlands.
Unprecedented freedom of movement, action and tactics, together with hundreds of unique models and epic sandbox-style maps, create the most authentic military simulation game available in the world today: war without the training wheels - available as a download now!
