So I was browsing around newgrounds, and there was this ad for this game called 'Combat Arms'. I normally never click ads anywhere, but this game seemed kind of cool, so I clicked it.

It's an online FPS, and it's 100% completely free to download, and it is really fun. It's 440 MB, and runs really well, looks pretty good. You can customize your weapons (adding different types of scopes, different types of suppressors, and extending the magazine capacity), and your guy's appearance (clothes like flak jackets and helmets and stuff, not his face, well you can customize his face, but you only choose from 4 faces when you first make your guy, asian, white, black, and hispanic faces). You can level up similar to COD4, and for each match you earn money where you can buy new weapons (it's balancing how it is, there are a bunch of weapons, a tiny bit less then CS: S, but you can choose to 'buy' the guns for 1 day (real time), 10 days, 30 and 90 days, but the thing is, it costs an ass load to buy for more then a day. So, you buy for a day or more (or rent I guess), and it'll disappear in exactly 24 hours (it even keeps the time for you), and you'd have to re-buy, so if you want a good weapons you'll have to play to earn some cash (you start out with quit a bit). No real money is required, and besides the lack of levels (there are only about 4, but the game was JUST launched, so they'll probably make more), I think this game is more fun then Counter Strike.

It really surprised me how good it is considering it's free. It doesn't even look that bad, anyways. Looks pretty good to me.

It's really good believe me, more fun then Counter Strike, IMO.

EDIT: I just noticed, each of the different hats/helmets/camo's/flak jacket/etc you can buy, you get little bonuses, like +2% to health and stuff like that.
 
Right, I had heard about this Nexon game a while ago, but it was in closed beta so I couldn't try it out. I was sad.
 
Weapon buying stolen from WarRock. :/

Downloading.


Edit: After looking around the site, this looks pretty kick ass.
 
I thought this was going to be WarRock when I clicked the thread. Will have to check this game out though.
 
Hm, I think I'll give it a shot. How realistic is it compared to Counter-Strike?

BTW WarRock was such a shit game when I played it about a year ago.

huh?

*reads again*

HUH!?

What your asking is like, "how scary is this game compared to Peggle?"
 
I don't know how 'realistic' it is, there are no ragdolls, although there are a few crates that when are shot and break, behave like a HL2 crate when exploded.

I should also add - It is a pretty active game too, lots of people playing it.

BTW - I never played WarRock, I've never even heard of it before this thread..
 
It didn't install anything other then the game, didn't ask for anything at registration other then my e-mail, I scanned the installer and couldn't find any viruses.. I've been playing the game for an hour.. I don't see how you say it's a scam..

OH 1 MORE THING!

Most of you (as was I) will be absolutely PISSED at this, but I have to tell you now before you find out the hard way.

YOU CAN'T SAY THE WORD 'sniper'.

I know, it's absolutely stupid, there is alot of swear filters, like you can't say fuk, or anythign like that, so if you want to say sniper, you have to put something like sn iper.. I thought that was the only retarded thing with the game.. I always say 'kill the sniper!' but instead it filters it and types 'kill the **!'
 
There's probably a subscription model, or a service to purchase in-game items. Nickel-and-dime scheme? Sure. Scam? Hardly.
 
Oh come on now. There is a way they're making money off of it. Are there in-game advertisements or what not?
There aren't in game advertisements. I've looked.

Yea, there is a system to use real-world money to buy items, but to be honest, almost every game I've been in people used regular items that were available for me (or the items that were available for their rank, you get more items to buy each rank you rise). Also in every game I've been in I've been near the top, so either I'm really good or no one pays for anything anyways. Even IF you encountered someone who had a weapon they payed for, they wouldn't sell super items (I read that somewhere on their site), and if you do kill them (which is easy, head shots are instant kill), you can pick up any weapons that are on the ground. You keep the weapon until you die. (you may even be able to go back to your corpse and pick it up again.)

Who cares, it's fun, no hackers/cheaters, no one has super weapons, no viruses or annoying ads and it's free. What do you want here.. Stop complaining and just download it, or if you're that insecure, just don't download it. No one except you cares either way. I was just trying to bring a fun game to peoples attention.

(sorry if that sounded mean, I didn't mean for it to sound mean, I'm just saying..)
 
Guys this is Nexon. Of course they want your moneys for pimped out M4's.
 
atomicspark85 is a scam.

Beat me to it.

Also, the game turns out to be a lot like War Rock. But on the other hand, a lot more fun somehow.

Maybe its the fact that I just went 63 and 11. D:
 
OP thinks game is better than CS because he's new to it and it's fresh.

See how long that lasts.

Then compare that to how long CS has been lasting.
 
Actually, I never really liked Counter Strike, it's always, ALWAYS been just an average game, I have no idea why it's as popular as it is. SO many games do it just like CS, and most do it better, tbh.

Atleast in this game there is a bit more customization to your guy/weapons. The game just seems more accessible to me, like you can boot it up in like 2 minutes and go, counter strike needs steam to start, and all that shit.
 
I have no clue about you guys, but this game OWNS! I felt like FPS Doug! :LOL: Basically do not run everywhere bunny hopping like Rambo. It won't work and many people do that. That's the other good thing about that game is that there are tons of nubs on the servers. They got RPG's, etc and I didn't see anywhere to use real money to buy stuff. No ads or anything, just a good, fun, free game. Also be sure to get the other AK-47 gun with scope. Then put on some body armor with helmet and you will do much better.

Join the [HL2.net] clan btw. My nickname is hool10. :cool: *Darn, have to get to 1st Sargeant or something.
 
I added you on friends, but I tried searching for the [hl2.net] clan and it says the name contains an inappropriate word. D:?

My name is TCfromBN
 
What your asking is like, "how scary is this game compared to Peggle?"

Not really.

CS is set in the 'real' world. It's not totally unrealistic - it provides limited realism. Can't see why we couldn't compare the games based on that. And the game is probably closer in terms of realism to CS than, say, Project Reality or Insurgency.
 
As soon as you make hl2.net clan, pm me.

My name is DogDashDash, all.
 
Ya, I can't make a clan. You need to be 1st Sargeant to do so. That's kind of a good thing to prevent tons of nub clans with nobody inside or people spamming you for most members. Just rank up and somebody make the clan. :p
 
This game sucks cock, it's exactly like Warrock in almost every way except the lack of vehicles.
Guns are inaccurate as ****, nades do shit for damage, maps are horrible, it's just another crap Korean shooter.

Played the closed beta when it came out.
 
I tried adding you guys, but it says you're offline.

So, I guess, you're offline, or is there something I'm doing wrong.
 
No, I got your invite, I'm your friend now :)

/creepy
 
I played that for a while
Been thinking of re-installing it
Great game
Only downfalls
People lag across the screen instead of walk and guns only last a day unless you have an an an ungodly amount of gold
 
lololololololol


Counter Strike is free here, as well as combat arms. :p Too bad I can't play with you guys, it redirects me to the korean site.
 
I just got done playing it for a few hours. First impression:

GOD people suck at this game. This must be where all the CS dropouts go because I started with 34-8 and never got much worse.

Most of the maps are pretty shitty, the hitboxes are goofy sometimes, the environment is physically bigger than it appears and that L9 or L8 sniper rifle is lame - it's just too easy.

I might've kept playing despite all this stuff if they had you level up and unlock more guns faster.
 
I only use snipers on Snow Valley, it's a pretty good sniper map, and other level isn't really worth it, because they are too close quarters.
 
I was playing that other tribes-esuqe game that was in Beta that Tycho was talking about in Penny-Arcade. What was it called again...? : /
 
At first I thought this game was alright, but after half an hour of playing it I never want to touch it again.

If you find out, do let me know. :O
 
I tried Combat Arms a while ago, sucked, and just tried War Rock, it's not any better. They're crap, being (mostly) free doesn't save them.
 
They're crap because they're free, imo. Not enough incentive.
