505 To Launch Armed Assault On Europe News

Bohemia Interactive's tactical shooter to be released in 2007 courtesy of publisher 505 Games...

In a coup for the burgeoning publisher, it's been confirmed that UK outfit 505 Games has secured the rights to Bohemia Interactive's long-awaited ArmA: Armed Assault.

The game, the spiritual successor to Bohemia's Operation Flashpoint, is a tactical shooter and looks set to offer players the sort of realistic detail that we've come to expect from the studio when it hits retail in the first quarter of 2007.

"We are really thrilled to enter the PC publishing market with a title with such heritage as Armed Assault," comments Ian Howe, 505 Games' Managing Director. "We now aim to compliment our existing portfolio by offering gamers outstanding European PC titles. The ArmA agreement is just our first step into the PC market."

Marek Spanel, Director of Bohemia Interactive, adds: "ArmA is our second major PC release. We're delighted that in 505 Games we found a strong distribution partner for a major part of Europe, as well as certain other countries. We'll be working together to fulfil the big expectations of the healthy community of gamers that arose from our debut PC game Operation Flashpoint(2) and we will again push forward the boundaries of just how deep the ultimate realistic combat simulation on PC can be."

Armed Assault is the latest title to be signed by 505 Games, following the likes of Steambot Chronicles and Rule of Rose.

We'll have more on ArmA: Armed Assault shortly...

	By: Anonymous Added:Mon 08th Jan 2007 18:14, Post No: 8 Play the demo first... I have the Czech version translated to english via a patch. Things I like : - Graphics better than OFP - Larger map size - Like the fact you can choose optional missions in campaign What I don't like - Same buggy AI as OFP. Your team mates can be worthless at times - Boring missions. The missions provided feel like some of the worst crap fans have made over the years. Very amatuerish and devoid of any atmosphere. How many times do I have to be a truck driver? - Still no rivers. They have bridges but most of the time your team mates in other tanks fall through the bridge :( - Still no foxholes or trenches. Try telling infantry they can't dig in before an artillery strike.... - No improvements to mission maker. - No other tools provided at time of launch. Hopefully BISs track record to releasing tools is better than OFP. If this game out a couple years after OFP I would be less forgiving but its been almost 6 years since OFP came out.

Not to mention bug-fixes and much needed improvements in .... well ... everything. As long as I get napalm or cluster bombs I'm happy >:D

	By: Anonymous Added:Mon 27th Nov 2006 11:07, Post No: 3 Because 505 are not a massive distributor like the likes of Codemasters and EA and cant just bang out millions and millions of copies and get all the manuals and all that in all the europian languages in a blink of an eye. Seen as they've only just tooken it on, 2 1/2 months is a good effort!!! I myself have already ordered from germany. Be grateful your not in the US, they aint even got a publisher!!! Realease Date - THERE AINT 1!!!!
