Armed Assault beefed up for UK launch

The UK release of Bohemia Interactive's hardcore military shooter Armed Assault will be enhanced with extra content not appearing in the release versions already available in German and Eastern Europe.

Publisher 505 Games has informed that Blighty-ians - and indeed other European countries - are to receive "a raft of new weapons, two new aircraft and two motorbikes, as well as an exclusive new open-ended mission" when Armed Assault releases on February 16.

Although the extra content is being labelled as exclusive, a patch featuring the additions is being released for German and Eastern Europe versions of the game at the end of the month.

Armed Assault is Bohemia Interactive's successor to hit title Operation Flashpoint. Like Flashpoint, it's a hardcore, realism-heavy sandbox military shooter. Keep 'em peeled for a review hitting these pages shortly.
