ArmA II: Operation Arrowhead

This stand-alone expansion improves upon the original in almost every way.

The Good

Gorgeous new setting
New weapons, both retro and modern
More accessible for newbies Same great Arma combat
Avoids Arma II's bugs.

The Bad

AI drivers still terrorize the roads
Online play can be annoyingly unpredictable

Although 2009's Arma II set a high standard for the all-purpose military simulator, its buggy single-player campaign held it back from achieving its full potential. In contrast, Arma II: Operation Arrowhead, its stand-alone expansion, boasts all the beauty, realism, and action of the original and none of the game-breaking bugs. Improving upon its predecessor in almost every way, Arrowhead introduces a new setting, new weapons, and new adventures to a great military sandbox.
