Nexon's newest game, Combat Arms, may be the next gaming craze to sweep America. This is one of the greatest games I have ever played. Combat Arms is an online multiplayer first person shooter that features a modern combat setting and a way array of features, such as customizable characters, weapons and outfits. And best of all, its free!!!!
In the game you start out with default equipment such as grenades, an M16 assault rifle, a pistol, and a combat knife. There are a wide array of weapons to choose from that you can "purchase" with money earned in the game. You start out with 9,000 gp. To earn money, all you have to do is play the game. The amount of money you earn will depend on how well you do in the game, but you get some amount of money either way. There are numerous kinds of weapons you can buy including assault rifles like the AK-47 or the M4A1, Standard Machine Guns, Sub-Machine Guns (SMG) such as the UMP, Pistols, Shotguns, Sniper Rifles like the SR25, and for those of you that revel in creating destruction theres the LAW, which is basically a Rocket Launcher, as well as purchasable enhancements for your weapons. The player can also choose from different armour and uniforms. One interesting feature in the "store" is that you can choose for how long to purchase the items for, ranging from 1 to 90 days.
Combat Arms has a ranking system based on experience earned in-game, which also depends on how well you do. You start as a Trainee and ranks go up to General. One cool aspect of this is that there are certain ranks that compare you to the other players. Once you get into the higher ranks, there are uppper command ranks that have limited numbers. The top one, General of the Army, has only one spot, and is awarded to the person with the most experience out of all the other players. Other than bragging rights, you might ask, "Why bother with ranks?" When purchasing weapons and gear, there are some items that you are unable to buy, such as supply cases. To purchase supply cases, you have to be a certain rank. Supply cases contain a number of possible items that you can recieve, including some exclusive weapons that can't otherwise be bought. One supply case, earned at the rank of Sergeant can give you the coveted "Ghilie" Sniper, which can't be purchased otherwise.
Players can check out their stats online, it tracks things such as kill/death ratio, number of headshots, and your global rank. After you achieve the rank of Staff Sergeant, you have the ability to create a clan, or a team. Clans are ranked based on matches played against other clans.
Combat Arms features 8 different maps that each cater to a players combat style. If you like close combat, try Junk Flea, an abandoned train junkyard. If long range sniping is your game, try Snow Valley or take a shot from the rooftops of Two Towers (not N.Y.C Twin Towers).
Combat Arms also has a few different game types to choose from. Elimination, which is two teams trying to get to a set number of kills, One Man Army (free for all version of Elimination), Capture the Flag, and Search and Destroy, which is where you have a specific mission objective.
I think that Combat Arms is the absolute best choice for the pc gamer looking for free online fps action.
