Arma 2

Arma 2 is a combat simulation set in Chernarus, a fictional former Soviet country recreated from real-world geographical data across 225 square kilometers. You command Force Reconnaissance Team “Razor,” an elite five-person U.S. Marine unit deployed with the 27th U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit. Its branching campaign follows the team as it becomes caught in a conflict over control of the country and the support of its people, with U.S. forces offshore and Russian forces watching from the north.

Chernarus

The landscape is modeled on real terrain and populated by civilian settlements and wildlife. Animals roam the forests while residents try to continue their lives amid war-torn streets. Day and night, wind, weather and other environmental effects change the conditions of the battlefield.

Combat and command

You lead troops through campaign missions and use 81 weapons and more than 120 vehicles. Combat simulation includes bullet ballistics and deflection, material penetration, ammunition types and stopping power. Units respond to the current situation rather than following predefined paths or scripts.

Multiplayer

You can play campaign missions cooperatively or take part in multiplayer battles with up to 50 players. Dedicated server software is available for Windows and Linux, and optional BattlEye anti-cheat can help secure dedicated servers. BattlEye also adds RCON remote control for the dedicated server software.

Mission editor

The mission editor lets you create your own missions.
