Combat Arms

Since I'm bored, and it's a refreshingly cold for a day in late August, I've decided to blog once again... even though I'm well aware that this will only ever see my eyes most likely.

If you're too "cool," to read something about video games... shut the fuck up, and keep reading anyways.

Combat Arms, is a pretty popular, and relatively new first person shooter (FPS,) from Nexon Inc. It's supposed to be centred around teamwork, although there are people like me who like to destroy that, by going on massive killing sprees occasionally.

There are several different types of game modes that all include killing someone. Obvious right? Right. The most popular mode is Elimination. In this mode, there are two opposing teams, which range from one, to eight players per side. The goal is to be the team to reach the predetermined amount of kills. The mode is great, because it shows where the skilled players really are. Usually a very good player on a bad team, can still lay down some punishment while doing it seemingly by themselves.

Like other FPS', Combat Arms has a wide variety of weapon classes to choose from.

Assault Rifles (AK47, M16, etc.)

Submachine Guns (P90, MP5, etc.)

Sniper Rifles (SR25, M24, etc.)

Shotguns (Saiga 20K, Double Barrel Shotgun, etc.)

Pistols (Desert Eagle, Anaconda, etc.)

Machine Guns (MINIMI, K3, etc.)

Melee weapons (Standard Combat Knife, Sickle, etc.)

Explosives (Mines, M67 Grenade, etc.)

To add to the vast variety of thing that Combat Arms has to offer, are the people. There are many types of people who populate the game. Here they are, with descriptions beside them.

Average Player (There for a good time, maybe cracks a joke or two.)

Hackusation Specialists ("Omg, aimbot, chammer, HACKER!!!") Their average scores are usually around, two kills and fifteen deaths.

Actual Hackers ("lol, lol, lol, I'm awesome.) Then they get a headshot with a knife... from across the map...

Racist twelve year olds from somewhere in the Southern United States...

Good players (Lie low, and own everyone. Often accused of hacking.)

Mexicans (... "que?")

Essentially, it's a very solid game. It's free and is constantly evolving. It also has an integrated clan system, so you can play with friends, against others for a more serious type of competition. You can always check your stats, and look for news at:

So if you like games similar to Crossfire or Call of Duty, and are looking for something a little different, try this game out.
