ArmA: Armed Assault (also known as ArmA: Combat Operations in North America and simply referred to as "ArmA") is the first installment of the ArmA series, considered as the spiritual successor to the original Operation Flashpoint. It was released in North America on May 4, 2007.
The storyline revolves around a war in the fictional island of Sahrani, which was divided into two regimes; Democratic Republic of Sahrani - DRS in the north, and Kingdom of South Sahrani in the south. The player takes the role of a United States Army soldier fighting with his platoon and collaborating with the Royal Army Corps of Sahrani (RACS) against the Sahrani Liberation Army (SLA). Like Operation Flashpoint, the campaign also allows players to fight as a Special Forces Operative, a Main Battle Tank crewman and a Helicopter Transport/Attack pilot.
An expansion pack called ArmA: Queen's Gambit was released on September 28 in the same year and features new weapons, new characters (including mercenaries), new missions, two new storylines and gameplay improvement.
