Bohemia Interactive announces plans to release a new version 1.05 patch for
ARMA 2 later this month; an update that will include
Eagle Wing, free DLC for the military shooter sequel. A
batch of four new screenshots accompany the announcement, as well as a gameplay video, which we've posted to the
YouTube. Here's a portion of the announcement:
Amongst other things the 1.05 patch features a new warfare mode "When Diplomacy Fails", including 3-side support for diplomacy between all factions allowing players to enjoy the strategic part of the game in a size never seen before. Warfare mode is a unique gaming experience first introduced in ARMA: Armed Assault. The mode combines tactical FPS gameplay with strategic elements which allow players to either join the fight in the front lines attacking the enemy directly, or to crush them in a commander position giving orders to other players whilst managing resources and the main base. Moreover each player is allowed to lead his own squad. Up to 32 players are supported, this multiplayer mode is a true war experience.
