CriminalMinds informed us about the release of more info (including a new video) of the new DLC being worked by
BIS.
Additionally
rockpapershotgun.com previewded the PMC DLC and posted their finding on their website.
A brand new faction - Private Military Company - reports in and enlarges the already enormous scope of ArmA.
One year after British and coalition armed forces successfully quelled the insurgent uprising in Takistan, the NATO Green Sea deployment is in the process of a strategic drawdown of its combat troops in the region. Private military contractors shoulder the burden of the increased workload, with competition rising between the multinational organisations for lucrative security contracts. Private Military Company, ION, Inc. (formerly Black Element), successfully bid for a contract - codenamed Black Gauntlet - to provide security for a UN investigation team as they seek to piece together information regarding Takistan's abandoned nuclear weapons programme...
Arma 2: PMC, a new addon for Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, will feature: • New playable faction - Private Military Company
• Original singleplayer campaign with strong storyline unfolding across more than ten missions
• Fully implemented 2 player co-op mode
• New map featuring abandoned wasteland style military weapons test range environment, built upon brand new models and textures
• Unique new character models
• Exotic new weapons (AA-12, fully modelled XM8 variants)
• Detailed new vehicles (Ka-60 'Kasatka', Armed Helicopter UAV, Armoured SUV)
• Numerous new engine updgrades, including full Shotgun Ballistics Modelling and in-game Video Playback

This is so awesome I cant even explain it. Even more pumped about this than I was for BAF! :D
mmm Interesting and that in game video playback thing is telling my mind "buy it,buy it"
Queen's Gambit 2!
remember everyone, we will have 4 new characters, and a new shotgun of doom. as well as a new "story-driven full-o-bugs campaign".
:)
In my opinion, DLCs , in general, are the cancer of videogames.
If its ten bucks, hellz yeah.
this looks uber epic.
So the theories about there being a new Chernarus map were wrong? Unless it's a surprise feature, just seems strange that the screen shot on the ION website looks like a new island.

Yeah, that picture looked like an extension to the southern part of Chernarus. I so hope they have that in it. Maybe its yet to be announced, or finished.

I wish the explosion sounds were done better.

[mere speculations] I think that might be a little teaser for a next DLC (featuring hopefully a new OPFOR faction), and it seems that BI wish to keep up smashing Codies...I remember I've read that Red River's story will based on a battle for/next to a river...maybe our Czech friends are planning their own Cherna-River :D [\mere speculations]

I hope that there will be new OpFor in any future DLC, but I would much prefer it to be in this one, just so it's sooner :)
Onto the Codies topic, when I first read about Red River I couldnt believe how much they were copying Arrowhead, and then I saw there location was "Tajikistan"... Basically, I just laughed.
Consolemasters are copying BIS ever since Operation Failpoint: Console Rising.
If BIS is going DLC way, they just lost a supporter.
