Uncover the dramatic events of post-invasion Takistan - originally described in Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead - through the eyes of British Paratrooper, Brian Frost, as he fights against the dangerous insurgency for both his country and his company. Deploy a mechanized division of British Armed Forces sent to reinforce Coalition troops battling the large-scale outbreak of Guerilla insurgency, and join the Private Military Company, contracted to protect a UN weapons inspection team in Takistan.

Marek Spanel, Bohemia Interactive CEO, comments: “Developing a comprehensive and realistic sandbox military simulator is a tough job, but it´s definitely worth the effort. We don't try to draw any lines between realism and fun; we let our gameplay do the talking. Our military simulators are immersive, they are realistic and they're definitely fun. We're proud of the positive feedback from our series' fans and players, evidenced by the hundreds of superb community made addons, mods and campaigns, which are fully compatible with all versions of our games, including Arma 2: Reinforcements. The potential for gameplay really has no limits.”
As a special bonus, each retail version of Arma 2: Reinforcements in Europe includes a unique printed, large map showing Takistan on the front with Shapur & The Proving Grounds terrains on the reverse. Plan your military operations in style!
