Game News - ArmA: Armed Assault Gets New Features For EU Launch

   Publisher 505 Games and Czech developer Bohemia Interactive are building up their forces for the imminent release of Bohemia's latest military combat simulator, by announcing today the addition of new content and features in ArmA: Armed Assault - such as new vehicles, weapons, and a new mission. These are not present in the German and Eastern European versions already on sale, but the devs will make sure to patch them by the end of the month, in order to ensure "an internationally unified playing environment for all users". Here's a bit from the announcement:
"February 16th marks the launch of the world's most accurate videogame combat simulation in the UK and the rest of Europe. ArmA: Armed Assault has already been dazzling UK reviewers pre-launch, for instance scoring a massive 84 per cent and being awarded a Silver 'Recommended' medal of honour in the March issue of Future Publishing's PC Zone magazine.

ArmA: Armed Assault will feature additional content not present in the German and Eastern European versions already on sale. This exclusive content includes a raft of new weapons, two new aircraft and two motorbikes, as well as an exclusive new open-ended mission. 505 Games is also pleased to announce that SecuROM copy protection has been perfectly implemented and integrated into ArmA, with zero slow down or adverse performance effects."    If you've been out of touch with the gaming world during the holidays, there's an Armed Assault demo available for download locally, featuring a part of the game's main island, Sahrani.

   For the record, the full list of countries where 505 Games will distribute ArmA: Armed Assault is (in no particular order whatsoever): United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand. Iceland, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia, Slovenia, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey, Israel, Middle-East, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania and Japan.
