If you can't wait for ARMA II (even though the release date's been pushed forward again), 505 Games and Bohemia Interactive are here to help, announcing ARMA II: The Flash Game. They consider it to be a brief introduction to the beginning of the ARMA II story, giving gamers a chance to explore the Post-Soviet Republic of Chernarus.

The developers are also feeling pretty generous - for each of the next five weeks, they'll be giving a copy of ARMA II to the two flash game players with the highest score. Better get practicing!

Marek Spanel, CEO of Bohemia Interactive talks about the new Flash game:

“At Bohemia we're known for our innovative, original, approach to game development and our intent was to create additional content based on the original world of ARMA II, using it in a way which makes it possible to connect with hundreds of thousands of gamers worldwide.“

Head over to their website right now to check out the flash game, or check out what else is on offer.

In case you've not been paying attention, ARMA II is a realistic combat simulator in a modern-day setting. The sequel to Armed Assault sees unprecedented freedom of movement, actions and tactics, and is promising to immerse gamers in more intense large-scale battles than have ever been seen before.


Following a series of release-date adjustments, we're pleased to confirm thatARMA II will be hitting shelves (and digital download emporiums) on June 19th, exclusively for PC.
