    I've been playing the game for more than a year now, and I have to say that Combat Arms has become a pretty significant part of my gaming life. I started out as a noob who didn't know one end of a gun from the other, and now I'm leading a very strong clan in the game.

I started out as a noob who didn't know one end of a gun from the other, and now I'm leading a very strong clan in the game. The game's engine runs seamlessly, even on lower-end computers, but it's also capable of high-resolution gameplay. I don't know of any other free FPS that I can run in 1920x1080 resolution. There are more than 10 maps to play on, all fairly small, but that's part of what makes the action so fast-paced and intense. The graphics, if you turn on the highest settings, are right up there with PS2 favorites such as SOCOM 3. The only significant problems lie in the people that play. The game is fairly easily hacked, but luckily, most people don't know how to write hacking programs. Only when new hacking sites surface is there a new surge in hackers. Nexon is not the fastest at getting the hack sites out of business, but they do work on it (ex: TGS hacking site went out of business Q2 2009) Also, plenty of people under 13 lie about their ages and get into the game and cause ruckus and chaos for the other players. The game does have flaws which keep some of the more hardcore players on games such as Counter-Strike and Call of Duty 4, but for a price tag that can't be beat (free! :D), players who don't have so much money to spend would definitely be missing out on some serious action if they didn't check Combat Arms out.… Expand

    its a great game...if your broke and want some FPS action. Otherwise i suggest Counter Strike Source. PROS:FREE!!!,updates constantly,and large amount of guns to choose from CONS:Easy to hack,people bitching about getting owned,and glitchers.

    Very good free FPS with dated graphics and it's pay to win but even after all that with just a little bit of skill it's pretty damn fun and I'd say it's worth giving a shot

    Combat Arms is a very fun game, I have tried many free fps games and i can strongly say not another one compares to the thrill of "CA" I have now played for almost 4 years and I feel the company does a great jobn to make sure that anybody can play the game with a graphics settings capable for the cheapest or oldest computers and the game does look very nice for a free fps on max graphics,Combat Arms is a very fun game, I have tried many free fps games and i can strongly say not another one compares to the thrill of "CA" I have now played for almost 4 years and I feel the company does a great jobn to make sure that anybody can play the game with a graphics settings capable for the cheapest or oldest computers and the game does look very nice for a free fps on max graphics, no it doesnt stand up to say battlefeild for for graphics but a game is made to have fun with and I believe Nexon does a better job at making this game fun then any other company has done at a paid or free fps!… Expand

    Combat Arms is a great game, its noob friendly (mostly anyways), a great multiplayer blast and Nexon takes its players concerns seriously. One problem (and if you read the other reveiws) is that theres too many hackers and if your on the new player server, you cant kick the hacker because you need to be a higher rank. Ahn Labs hack shield fails. Epicly.

    Well I think for a free game this is awesome and Nexon is doing a good job to get rid of hackers and the community is mostly nice but some all trying to act hard and swearing but over all good alright graphics.

    Combat Arms Is A Really Good Game, It Doesn't Compare To The Big Name Shooters but it's juts simply a fun game. The graphics my be dated but they are still good enough, the game play is fun as long as you don't a hacker or lag which is unfortunately common in the game.

    Perfectly good game. It costs money to make a game with good graphics, if you didn't know. And this was made in Amercia, idiot. This game is perfect if you have a bad pc. Weapon upgrades seem a bit unfair. And some people use hacks.

    A lot of guns with constant updates, the game has improved over the last few years with increasing player base, never had any issues finding games, plus I can pay to win!

    This game is indeed original, sure theres hackers but seriously what pc game doesnt have hackers? i was reading most of the reviews on here and tbh i was reading a lot of beginner reviews who didnt have a decent grasp on the game's perspective. YOU DONT NEED TO PAY TO WIN, a large amount of the GP (game points- earned by playing the game) are also powerfull. also this ISNT AN EASY GAME, most bigger games that people are relating to this one dont take as long to get used too. each and every single gun in this game has its own strengths and weaknesses, the pay for weapons are not that perfect and overpowered, many players that come to this game complain that they cant kill anyone and that their getting killed through walls etc. yes there might be hackers but maybe your connection to the game server isnt that great or your internet provider that you currently use isnt that great either you can check your connection to the game by pressing TAB, 1-2 bar ping your going to experience frequent lag, delayed bullet hit or being unable to move. THIS IS NOT THE GAMES FAULT, IT IS NEXONS FOR NOT HAVING ENOUGH MOTHER SERVERS CURRENTLY THERE ARE 2 MAIN SERVERS, EU (europe) and NA (noth america). AND LASTLY THIS GAME HAS RECOIL, dont expect this to be COD where the gun doesnt bounce. THIS GAME REQUIRES PATIENCE AND LEARNING by pressing F1 ingame you can try the tutorial and get used to standard recoil and bullet spread.    … Expand

    This game is AWESOME (in my opinion) this is my first FPS game, i have played more than 3 years, I started as the worst player... The game has TONS of types of matches and a lot of maps, I like the idea of weapons by a certain amount of days. This 2014 the game has improved a lot, there a almost no hackers, in 2 months i have seen 1 hacker, and the game was patched the same day.

    It's a good place for casual shooter fans who don't feel like dropping $20 to get the crap kicked out of them in CS. [Nov 2008, p.66]

    It's got decent game play and once the kills start rolling in you won't want to stop playing. There are just some things you can't pass up and this is one of them.

    There may be plenty of better options for anyone looking for an online shooter, but for the price Combat Arms is among the best around. It's fast, fun, brutal and addicting - what more could you ask for from a free FPS.
