Quote from: WikipediaOn 22 April 2010, Bohemia Interactive confirmed that the expansion  pack titled Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead will be released  worldwide on 29 June 2010.  According to the site, players will be able to play as members of the United States Army in a fictional region of west-Asia  named Takistan,  where the terrain is based on Afghanistan. Operation Arrowhead will  include three new maps, a variety of new units, vehicles and equipment,  as well as the eponymous campaign.

 The expansion will be standalone, meaning it can be run without the  content in the original ARMA 2, but players who purchased ARMA 2 will  also be able to integrate that content into Operation Arrowhead. The  developers plan on releasing some of the core changes introduced in  Operation Arrowhead (such as performance optimizations) as patches,  allowing regular ARMA 2 players to access to any engine improvements  introduced in the expansion. New content, however, will remain exclusive  to Operation Arrowhead.


Nothing on the front page or news forum at Bohemia though.

I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I\'ve got most of it left.

No improvement on dedicated servers though ...

QuoteQ. Do you plan to support multi-home support for dedicated servers? GSP's need and require this feature. It is a critical reason that a significant portion of big GSP's refuse to host the game.
A. Not planned at the moment.

I find that simply incredible.
