Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The free, online multiplayer version of PC military shooter ArmA 2 has launched, mixing infantry combat with air, land, and sea assault.
Players of ArmA 2: Free can link up with those who have the full, paid-for version.
The difference is that ArmA 2: Free drops advanced graphics options, the story mode, and compatibility with paid-for expansion packs.
Player-made missions still work, and the game's armory of 300+ weapons remains accessible.
The release exemplifies a slightly different approach to that taken by Battlefield Play4Free, Global Agenda or AVA, which invite players to make in-game purchases.
Rather, it's similar in scope to F.E.A.R. Combat, which was F.E.A.R.'s multiplayer component released for free and compatible with the full game.
ArmA 3 is currently in development, expected Summer 2012.
