Evaluation
Arma 2 is a fully complete game with no further content planned or expected. Originally released in 2009, it received several years of post-launch patches and updates, including new content such as the "Eagle Wing" mini-campaign added in patch 1.05 (December 2009), various feature patches through 2011, and expansions like Operation Arrowhead (released June 29, 2010) which were separate products. The last official communication from Bohemia Interactive was on December 18, 2015, when a small compatibility data patch was released to ensure Arma 2 worked alongside an Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead update. No content, patches, announcements, or developer communications of any kind have followed since that date. The studio has long since moved on to Arma 3 and beyond. There are no unreleased DLC entries, no roadmaps, and no outstanding promises of future content. Arma 2 launched as a complete product and received meaningful post-launch support for several years before development concluded naturally.
Evidence
Patch 1.05 released, adding the Eagle Wing mini-campaign and new AH-64 Apache helicopter — one of the last substantive content additions to the base game.
A small compatibility data patch (160MB) was released to keep Arma 2 working alongside an Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead update. This is the last official developer communication on record.

About this game
Building on 10 years of constant engine development, ARMA II boasts the most realistic combat environment in the world. It models real world ballistics & round deflection, materials penetration, features a realtime day/night cycle and dynamic wind, weather and environmental effects. The simulation of a combat environment is so effective, the engine forms the basis for training simulators used by real armies the world over.
Although ARMA II is set in the fictional ex-soviet state of 'Chernarus' the gameworld is actually a 225 square kilometer chunk of the real world! ARMA II's highly detailed landscape is a meticulous facsimile of real terrain, modeled using extensive geographical data. This recreated region is brought to life with spectacular environmental effects and populated with dynamic civilian settlements and wildlife. Wild animals roam the atmospheric forests while the people of Chernarus try to live out their lives among the war-torn streets.
The 27th U.S. Marine Expeditionary Unit have been deployed to the former soviet country of Chernarus in this third installment in the series of award winning PC war simulators from Bohemia Interactive, creators of Operation Flashpoint*: Cold War Crisis and ARMA: Combat Operations.
Force Reconnaissance Team Razor are among the first to fight. This elite five-man team are about to fall down the rabbit hole, trapped in a war not only for control of the country, but the hearts and minds of its people. With the might of the USMC offshore and the Russians anxiously watching from the north, the stakes couldn't be higher. The fate of Chernarus is balanced on a razor's edge...
