FREE: ARMA: Gold (includes the Queens Gambit Expansion Pack)

The listing, ARMA: Gold (includes the Queens Gambit Expansion Pack) has ended.

ArmA: Armed Assault (known as ArmA: Combat Operations in North America) is a tactical military first- and third-person shooter which was developed by a 40 member team at Bohemia Interactive (BI), an independent game developer based in the Czech Republic.

ArmA is the spiritual successor to Operation Flashpoint: Cold War Crisis and features an overhauled game engine, with improved graphics, physics, multiplayer functionality, scripting capabilities, and new units and vehicles. An expansion pack titled ArmA: Queen's Gambit was released in 2007.

The campaign follows a linear storyline. However, each level in the campaign has options for the player on how to progress through the mission. The player's in-game performance and choices determine how the storyline progresses and ultimately will have a bearing on the war itself. For example, a mission to seize a crucial town can have a substantial effect on the story depending on the player's level of success or failure. Failure to successfully complete an objective does not result in the game ending but will affect the storyline. Hostile squads act independently of the player's actions so that they may be engaging in an activity dictated by the game AI that does not necessarily involve the player. This implies that the game has high replay value as no two games will be identical.

ArmA's expansion pack, ArmA: Queen's Gambit, was released on September 28, 2007 and contained a followup to the original storyline and added a second event afterward.[4]

The content of Operation Flashpoint is currently being converted to ArmA's format, and released as a free addon, titled Cold War Rearmed.[5] This addon contains the original islands, models, and campaign.
