I spoke briefly about Arma 2: Free -- Bohemia Interactive's less-featured offering for those on a tight gaming budget -- during the E3 rush. That was a simple announcement post; the real news today is that the military sim is now ready for public consumption.
You can grab it for yourself by using this link and signing into Google, Steam, Facebook, OpenID, or Windows Live ID for activation purposes. I'm tempted to download it just so I can re-experience the pain of not being able to properly pilot the game's vehicles.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Something feels wrong with the PC gaming industry.
HD Graphics- Doesn't matter since it still looks pretty decent anyway
Single-Player- Who the fuck plays Arma for single-player?
Operation Arrowhead- A standalone expansion pack for Arma 2, so no one's actually missing out on anything.
Mods- Arma 2 has a metric fuck-ton of mods, but the game's still fun to play nonetheless.
What we get:
Fully featured multiplayer
Fully featured mission editor
Both of which are pretty much the biggest parts of the Arma series, so we're getting much more than "a tenth" of it.
