I'm a day late and $10 short, but
ArmA II: Private Military Company was released yesterday. The $10 add-on for
ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead (or Combined Operations) adds a new faction with more weapons and vehicles. There is even a new single-player campaign, a different environment, and a 2-player coop mode.
Even if you don't
purchase the expansion, there was another patch (1.56) released for ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead. This contains a few additions including the Multiplayer Armory along with various bug fixes and graphical improvements. You can download the
patch here. Full patch details are after the jump and we've also got a fancy new launch trailer for you.
Enjoy!
