Hoewel ArmA II zijn bugs heeft, blinkt deze first person shooter vooral uit in zijn realisme. Want wie geen zin heeft in een snelle arcade war shooter, kan met ArmA II vooral rustig zijn strategie plannen en keihard toe slaan. Aan het einde van deze maand krijgt deze game versterking van de Engelse troepen en deze nemen het volgende mee:

Less than two months after Operation Arrowhead successfully routed the Takistani military regime, NATO coalition forces face a large-scale outbreak of guerilla insurgency. A mechanized force of British troops are about to deploy and embark upon a large-scale counter-insurgency campaign, which will define the future of the coalition presence in Takistan: Operation "Crimson Lance".

The development of the brand new content has demanded engine updates, resulting in unique features and new gameplay options. The fully modelled artillery and mortar strikes and the extension of the engineer class to include new duties - such as vehicle repair and bomb disposal - add a new depth of realism to the most authentic mil-sim available."
