At the various stages of the game, the player will control not only foot soldiers but also tanks and helicopters. The player will lead them through a series of battles in the desert, highland, and urban environment. Their mission is to overthrow the corrupt regime of colonel Muhammad Aziz and to protect neighboring (equally fictional) Karzeghistan from a Tatkistani invasion.


The protagonists are the NATO forces consisting of American, Czech and German military. Operation Arrowhead is set in an alternative 2012 in Takistan, a made-up mountainous Asian country reminiscent of Afghanistan. This expansion pack to 2009's ARMA 2 features a standalone plot and setting and does not require installing the original game.
