As part of the continuous commitment to ARMA II’s dedicated fan community, Bohemia Interactive have created a series of dev diaries to be published online, starting today. In the first installment Jan Pražák Bohemia’s PR manager explains the basic controls of ARMA II, shown using comprehensive video footage captured in game.

The main goal of these videos is to reveal the depth of the game and describe in an easy-to-understand way how simple it really is to play ARMA II and enjoy one of the most sophisticated military simulators on the market.”
