ArmA: Combat Operations Invades North America!

On May 1st, Atari will release the hotly anticipated special edition of Armed Assault across North America. Pick up this excellent title to enjoy the future of TrackIR innovation and witness the exacting detail of extremely real ground, flight, and vehicular combat. You can purchase it directly from Atari's website, or look for it on store shelves in your area. Savvy readers may note the special TrackIR discount in the game's manual.

Along with the new name, this special version of Armed Assault has a new single player mission featuring the A-10 Warthog, an all new gallery featuring detailed specifications for every weapon and vehicle, and brand new cut-scenes!

To coincide with the release, Dslyecxi has created an exceptionally detailed Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures Guide, which has a TrackIR-specific section on situational awareness, and includes new videos.

WWI: Knights of the Sky
During WWI the first aces earned acclaim in daring dogfights over Europe, and combat aviation was born! Later this year, you can experience the thrills of these formative standoffs in a gorgeously detailed flight sim with full 6DOF TrackIR support from the Gennadich Team. With the working title WWI: Knights of the Sky, this project lets you fly 13 legendary aircrafts over 100,000 square miles along the Belgium-France border, and puts you in the cockpits of both Antanta and German pilots.

Check out our Knights of the Sky page for links to an amazing demo video, along with the latest screenshots and information.
