Award-winning independent development studio Bohemia Interactive has announced that Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead - the eagerly-anticipated massive standalone expansion pack for Arma 2 - has gone gold, with the final master disc sent for manufacturing.

Built upon over 10 years' experience, it thrusts gamers into the heart of the most realistic military combat simulation ever developed, featuring cutting edge technology, vast, detailed environments and authentically modelled units, weapons and vehicles. Branching, player-driven campaigns offer both singleplayer as well as multiplayer cooperative gameplay, accompanied by a huge range of single and multiplayer modes. Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead delivers a range of brand new features, such as FLIR thermal imaging, controllable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), 3 huge new maps of Central Asian settings and over 300 new models. This hotly anticipated release massively expands upon the scope and depth of the "Armaversum", and offers its passionate community a whole new set of exciting gameplay features.

Bohemia’s CEO, Marek Spanel, comments: “We're very proud to have finally finished work on Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead. Despite being labelled as a standalone expansion pack, the amount of content we have produced for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead constitutes a full game by any reasonable measurement, and we’re certain that once players get their hands on it on the 29th of June, they won’t be disappointed.”
