This is intriguing. We just received a link to a new site, AAN World News, which seems to blend actual headlines with news from the world of Arma II. Today it’s sporting the Obama Wins Nobel Peace Prize stuff alongside headlines about the US invading Arma II’s fictional “green sea” nation of Chernarussia. Presumably this is a prelude to actually revealing some stuff about previously confirmed expansion Operation Arrowhead? Or is it the work of a crazed Arma II fan?

Well if he can run a war in Iraq and send more troops to one in Afghanistan, not to mention use force in places like Somalia, Phillipines and Pakistan, without the Norwegians on the Nobel Committee minding, then invanding a little island or two should be just fine.
UK must invade Norway, and take all the novel commite prisioner, AND all the north sea oil for thenselves. I say. We need a war. War is good for economy!.

“Priss Fothid” looks like an anagram name to me. But the best I can come up with is “DHS is profit”. I could be wrong unless it’s a political comment about corruption in the Department of Homeland Security.

Hehe one of the ads are for “Sahrani”, island of the first game.
Site is also in Cernarus language (in fact, it’s Czech – the same language developers of Arma are speaking), so I think it’s official Bohemia Interactive Studios project.

Dunno what I should think about this. Anyway, like Railick, at first I thought that Obama getting Nobel Prize was also a joke. A pretty bad one, may I say =D
I had the same reaction when Al Gore won too, I guess now I shouldn't be suprised if they give the next Noble Peace Prize to Barack Obamas dog.
