Synopsis SettingĪRMA 2's single-player campaign takes place in September and October 2009, in the province of South Zagoria in the northeastern region of the fictional post-Soviet state of Chernarus, as well as the remote Chernarussian island of Útes. The entire campaign can be played either offline, as single-player, or online, as cooperative play for up to four players. For example, terrorizing non-playable characters would result in losing their trust, thus encouraging them to give away valuable information to enemy forces. Developmentĭuring development, Bohemia Interactive stated at the Electronic Entertainment Expo that ARMA 2 was to have a "roleplaying feel to it", with in-game events affecting the character as well as the entire campaign. The Chernarus landscape is based heavily on the Czech Republic the home country of the developer.

ARMA 2 is set primarily in the fictional Eastern European nation of Chernarus, (meaning "Black Rus").

The player is able to command AI squad members which adds a real-time strategy element to the game.

GameplayĪRMA 2 is a tactical shooter focused primarily on infantry combat, however it also features significant vehicular and aerial combat elements. Although ARMA 2's title is stylized as ArmA II, it is done as an homage to the previous game in the series, not because the game's title is a contraction of Armed Assault like the first game in the series was. Due to the fact that the previous game in the series was named Armed Assault, ARMA 2 is often referred to as Armed Assault 2, albeit in error. ĪRMA 2 is named after the Latin word "arma", meaning weapons, soldiers, and war. In June 2011, a "free-to-play" version of the game was released, featuring multiplayer and limited single player modes. An expansion pack titled ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead was released in 2010. ARMA 2 saw a limited release in May 2009, and a wide release from June 2009 through July 2009. It is the official sequel to the Operation Flashpoint-series following its predecessor, ARMA: Armed Assault ( ARMA: Combat Operations in North America).
