On June 22, it's been 15 years since the series' first entry was released in Europe: Arma Cold War Assault. Since then, over 10 million copies (excluding DLC) have been sold, of which 2.5 million for Arma 3 to date. Also, today a small update for the Cold War Assault was released. It adds aspect ratio selection to the launcher configuration options, which should help people enjoy this gem on modern displays. Also we've updated the .exe signatures to make sure there are no issues when launching the game.
