ArmA 2: Operation Arrowhead

Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead is a military game set three years after the conflict in Chernarus. A new crisis erupts in the Green Sea Region, where US-led coalition forces deploy to Takistan to restore peace and prevent further civilian casualties. You take on roles in the US Army, from infantry and special operations to pilots and tank crew. The game is standalone and does not require Arma 2.

Takistan and its forces

The campaign takes place across three new large maps with Central Asian-style urban, desert and mountainous terrain. The environments are interactive and fully destructible. The game adds more than 300 units, weapons and vehicles across multiple factions, including the US Army, United Nations, Takistani Army and Guerrillas.

Combat and equipment

Combat systems model real-world ballistics and round deflection, thermal imaging and material penetration, alongside a real-time day-and-night cycle and dynamic wind, weather and environmental effects. You can detach backpacks with their equipment, use advanced weapon optics and remotely simulate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in real time. Decisions can have repercussions.

Campaign and multiplayer

The new story campaign supports both single-player and multiplayer, and the game also includes tutorials, single scenarios and multiplayer modes. You can play campaign missions cooperatively or join multiplayer battles with up to 50 players.

Create and modify missions

An included mission editor lets you design your own missions. A complete editing tools suite is also available for creating and modifying custom game content.

Integration and servers

Operation Arrowhead can integrate with Arma 2. Optional BattlEye anti-cheat is available for dedicated servers, along with RCON remote control. Dedicated server software is included for Windows, with a Linux version available to download.
