ArmA expansion announced for Q3 2007 release

ArmA: Armed Assault is following in the footsteps of Operation Flashpoint - a buggy release followed by several patches and expansions. 505 Games, ArmA's European distributor just published the following press release:

ARMA: QUEEN'S GAMBIT Milton Keynes, UK – June 18th, 2007

505 Games is proud to announce the official expansion pack for its critically acclaimed title ArmA: Armed Assault - considered the most realistic tactical combat simulation ever made - entitled ArmA: Queen’s Gambit. The ultimate test of human war skills has reached its climax!

Key Elements

- Two new story based campaigns

· Rahmadi Conflict: The true conclusion to the original ArmA story, with enormous battles taking place within massive fortifications on the Rahmadi Island and brand new Porto Island.

· Royal Flush: 18 months after the original conflict, a group of seasoned mercenaries arrives to help the government with a sensitive matter that the army can‘t handle by itself any longer. However, there is something highly suspect about this job…

- New Multiplayer Missions

· Urban Raid: A cooperative multiplayer scenario designed for a group of six battle-hardened Special Forces soldiers.

· Battle of Porto: A “capture and hold” scenario for forty players on a brand new and beautiful sandy island of Porto.

- Final patch 1.08

The latest patch brings to the ArmA world new weapons, vehicles and characters, along with a new resource management feature and gun dealers. It also brings dozens of multiplayer and technical improvements, which finally enables North American players fight on the same battlefields as the International community.

The single player campaign was easily the weakest part of the original ArmA experience, and with only two multiplayer missions included, ArmA: Queen’s Gambit looks more like a patch delivery system than a real expansion. Operation Flashpoint had some wicked expansion content though, so let's not count Bohemia out just yet.
