The folks at Bohemia Interactive aren't resting on their laurels when it comes to ArmA 2.  In what seems like a response to yesterday's DLC release for Operation Flashpoint 2 comes the release of the 1.05 patch for ArmA 2.  

Along with many...many...bug fixes comes a free campaign called Eagle Wing playable in co-op and a bonus vehicle - the AH-64D helicopter pictured above.  The bug fixes include performance, AI enhancement, graphical tweaks, improved input handling and more.  If you're copy of the game was collecting dust, perhaps it's time to break out the Pledge and check it out again.

Updating the game to version 1.05, the patch delivers the following bug fixes, gameplay tweaks and performance improvements:
• Free bonus campaign Eagle Wing
• Free bonus helicopter addon AH-64D
• New Warfare multiplayer mode When Diplomacy Fails, including 3-sides and support for diplomacy between factions
• Major AI tweaking and balancing (better combat cooperation, better situational awareness, new Suppressive fire command)
• Significant performance improvements, especially in large cities
• Fixed compatibility problems under Windows Vista and Windows 7 x64 with 8 GB and more RAM
• Grass now provides concealment also in distance
• Improved hit detection and damage system
• Improved object visibility and less significant objects popping in distance
• Improved mouse input handling
• Spatial sound improvements
• Automatic launching of user made addons (units, missions etc.) via "pbo" file association with the game
• Possibility to switch between windowed and fullscreen mode at any time in game menus using Alt + Enter or through video options
• Various crash opportunities fixed
• Linux server support added
• New GUI to various dedicated server settings
• New GUI for multiplayer commands
• Enabled commanding during story conversations
• FreeTrack support using FreeTrackClient.dll
• DRM free
• Optional anti-cheat protection
