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.Bohemia Interactive's modern military shooter Arma 2 is to be stripped down and reissued as a free multiplayer download.
The mid-June download will jettison support for high-end graphics, user-created mods, and the single-player story campaign.
In exchange, Arma 2: Free includes access to the full game's multiplayer with over 300 weapons, units, and vehicles, plus a mission editor.
Giving away the base multiplayer at no charge while ensuring its graphical requirements remain low opens up Arma 2 to a much wider audience.
Those who like what they see can upgrade for the full experience - or simply hang on until midway 2012 for Arma 3's projected arrival.
The Battlefield and Ghost Recon series are also readying free versions of their own games, with both Battlefield: Play4Free and Ghost Recon: Online going through a public beta testing period.
