  • Eurogamer.net - 70% - ARMA 2: Operation Arrowhead Review

    30.6.2010 - ...you'll undertake special forces missions, fly helo gunships, command tanks, rescue hostages, and do a host of other soldierly stuff. As you'd expect from the series, the battlefields are usually vast, the realism level high, and the tactical options abundant.
