Upon first launching the map, you will spawn in the map's safezone, Kana'an Madraj.
There is a planned future update which would add Land Rover Defender, Motorcycle, Bus, and Ford Aerostar to Arid. Possibly dates include 1981, 1982, and 1989 due to the Pre-Release Arid Testing Server. It presumably takes place in 1982, as Soviet forces are present, and Newspaper item description dates it back to 1982.
Based on Soviet invasion of Afghanistan (1979-1989). Primarily based on Afghanistan and surrounding countries. The map was in development for over 23 months.
