    i play CA since 2011 on my vacations and it's a nice game to play with friends and skyping. But it's not that good if you like nice graphics and stuff. I don't think it's a low quality game.

    Game is no longer pay to win which is a good thing but with the last update of it, the game has lost any shape. Snipers are choked having a long delay before they shoot, all the weapons are extremely inaccurate (even more than ever cause of the wild nerf). I personally think its a shame for the genre to call this game a shooter game.

For the first year of playing it, it was great. The graphics were as realistic as you could get around 2008. It had a fun, respectable community, that I would constantly play with and make more friends. The game offered a large variety of weapons to choose from. They offer an in game video recorder, so that was a bonus. The only issue I had found with the game was, the fact some weapons you had to purchase with nx. NX is a currency Nexon created for their games to purchase in-game equipment. In order to get NX you had to purchase it with real money. But it was completely understandable. Most weapons could be bought permanent through the in game currency(GP).

    I had moved around a lot so I wasn't able to play the game for 2 1/2 years. When I got back into the game, it had change dramatically. From gameplay to weapons, and purchases. The controls of the game remained the same (of course). But it was now 2011 and game engines have been improved upon to bring a more realistic feel to the games. Nexon had not improved the graphics of CA it was still 2008 "realistic" graphics. They brought in some more weapons and a few of them were too OP (Over Powered). In later updated they ended up lowering the weapon statistics.

    In mid 2013 they came game out with and update that changed the purchases of weapons. They made every weapon available to rent through the in game currency (GP) which last around 1-14 days and took away the power to purchase the weapons permanent with GP. Instead they decided to make weapons available for permanent through the Nexons currency (NX), which you have to spend real money to get.

    In mid - late 2015 Nexon decided to merge the North America and European servers into one server, while adding in a new launcher and way to log-in. After the merger the game began to become very laggy and glitchy. The game and crashed on me multiple times and froze multiple times. There are still no ways of buying a gun permanent without spending money.

    It is now May 12, 2016 and Nexon has neglected to fix any of the lag, which has gotten worse. There are so many hackers on their servers. You'll be lucky if you find a room without any hackers or glitchers. I'm still DCing out of CA every now and then, without DCing out of any other online program, it's just CA. The graphics are still 2008 graphic while the graphics now are AMAZING. And their in game record has bad quality for this day and age, make the game lag 10x worse and records a 10min game in a 3GB file. Most recorders record a 10min game in a 600MB file. I don't think CA is going to last very much longer. If they want CA to last they need to:

    1. Hire people who actually have a brain and know what they are doing.
    2. Use an Up to date game engine like Cryengine 4 and Unreal Engine 4.11 (soon to be 4.12)
    3. Completely redesign CA.
    4. Make some weapons available for purchase using GP.
    5. Reduce the lag TREMENDOUSLY.
    6. Fix their in game recorder.
    7. Get a new up to date anti-cheat/anti-hack client.
    8. Improve their gameplay and game modes
    9. Improve the kicking system in rooms with Moderaters and Elite Moderaters.
    10. Get advice from other successful FPS companies.

    This game is a sack of P2W, hacker filled garbage! Never should you have to pay $20 for a single gun, women characters are just fan service to the die hard **** who thinks 300+ guns means something. And even though the anti-cheat system constantly updates, it fails to stop anyone from making your hit box bigger than the universe. Don't play this game ever!

    I've been playing this game for several years and feel it's finally appropriate to write a review for it.

    For starters, Combat Arms is a very casual game, which is largely due to the developers' choices in making the game. It is incredibly easy to play, which is a plus. Ignoring the issues with balancing, there are plenty of good weapons that are popular in the community.

Ignoring the issues with balancing, there are plenty of good weapons that are popular in the community. But despite Nexon's claims about CA's arsenal size, really only a handful of guns are actually seen used on a day-to-day basis.

    While the occasional hacker does pop up every now and then, the most egregious ones seem to have disappeared slightly. The fact that most rooms use some form of the elite moderator means that these hackers wouldn't be a big problem any more (for the most part).

    Lag is still commonplace and there are many glitches around the various maps the game offers. There are a handful of good maps but most of them are grossly underplayed, some for obvious reasons.

    Perhaps the biggest source of dissatisfaction comes from Nexon themselves. The utter unwillingness or incompetence in improving is truly astounding. Since the merge (which happened because CA NA was laughably dead), the number of features on the website has tanked significantly and the already-subpar customer service only further declined.

    There is no doubt that Nexon is working with a persistent handful of fans and trying to squeeze as much money as they can out of a dying product. While there have been moments of true improvement, most decisions result in either decline or no real change. Nobody takes CA seriously beyond its own community (and even there it is hardly taken seriously). It is truly for those who do not wish to spend any money on a basic FPS. Speaking of which, *don't* spend any money on this one.    … Expand

    However, the servers became fragile, becoming more and more unstable and laggy in the more recent years, not much helped by my sudden move of countries. I had moved from the U.S. to Australia, which made the game nearly unplayable with the new updates. What really killed the game is when they decided to do the EU and NA merge. It destroyed the connection for Oceania players. Also, if you had a high kill streak, even if it was legit, you will have been banned. The EU mods hardly know English, and won't even try to help you as the NA mods used to do. I asked why I had been banned, they did not give me a reason, and just told me, quite rudely, to make a new account and suck it up basically. Yes, it is stated that they won't tell you precise reasons why you were banned, but I at least expected some help as to retrieving my banned account, as it was a bug that got most of NA banned. But nope, no help. They responded once, and never responded again. Useless.    … Expand

Nexon has made some miraculously stupid decisions regarding the game and how it works throughout its existence, but they've been able to make it quite good in recent time.

    With the introduction of the Combat Arms Reboot, this game has effectively moved away from the pay-to-win platform that it once was, to another platform that offers a lot more balance between paying players and free players. Weapons that used to only be obtainable through paid methods may now be purchased using in-game credits, but with certain restrictions that many may easily find negligible.

    Hackers used to be a much bigger issue than they are today. Of course, you'll undoubtedly see them every now and then. With Nexon's introduction of Black Cipher anti-cheat, hacking was reduced massively. AhnLab's Hackshield Pro (formerly the only anti cheat system in the game) is a total joke.

    The game's not perfect, but it's been fun enough to keep me coming back all this time. Plus, it really does have the largest arsenal for any first person shooter to date, and that continues to expand roughly every month.

    Should you play it? It takes some getting used to. If you're into Counter Strike, you probably won't like it. If you're into other free to play FPS's, like Crossfire, or Alliance of Valiant Arms, you'd probably be best off trying this one out.

    Ranks take time to achieve, and consistent in-game quitting will slow your progress. Patience is key with the learning curve in Combat Arms.

    Combat Arms is a f2p MMOFPS. The graphics are decent, considering it is a very old game, but the game is very pay to win and full of hackers. That's not to say there's not a bit of fun to have here though. Overall, it's a pretty decent game. Try it before you decide to pay in though.

Due to the large presence and likelihood of hackers in the game, any successful or good players will often be kicked and/or "hackusated", making for a less than enjoyable experience. Even just decent players will receive hackusations every once in awhile, just for using the sound of footsteps to determine your opponent's location. Furthermore, buying an NX (the purchasable currency of the game) weapon will provide a much more powerful weapon than buying a GP (the earned currency of the game from playing matches) weapon. In addition, speed gear is commonly used by most players in the game as armor does not have much function in the game, rarely increasing your survivability. Speed is much better at keeping you alive, but the issue is that the best speed gear comes from purchasing NX, with GP speed gear falling far behind. There is not much skill required to play Combat Arms at a high level anymore, with SMGs with low recoil and speed gear being the preferred method of playing for most as it requires minimal aim, or 1 hit kill snipers with perfect accuracy and fast spread recovery, allowing for easy shots while moving or jumping.

    I would not recommend this game to anyone as it is quite frustrating, mostly due to the horrible community and hackers. My rating of a 2 is only because of some sentimentality I have for the game after having played it for years before I starting buying better games off Steam like CS:GO. Honestly, it should have a rating of 0 for a horrible gaming experience overall, with a developer that updates frequently but adds new paid guns over fixes to the game.    … Expand

    The game, overall, is very good for how old it is. The shop has a lot to choose from when it comes to guns and gear items. There are also a variety of maps and modes to choose from, so you will have a lot of fun. The only downsides are the community, lackluster lag, and players who whore the "NX" or "Pay to win" shop.

    In the beginning CA was a super fun online shooter, community was kind of ok, no cheaters, good amount of guns and solid gameplay. After half a year or so, things started to go south. When the first specialist characters were introduced, i knew where all this is going to lead. The game was still enjoyable, for the next, like two years, but Nexon started to make CA into an eventual abomination, that simply swallows your money, and leaves you in a frustrating pit of hackers and whiners, killing the fun entirely. I tried to return to CA a few times, but i couldn't stay longer than a few rounds each time, so i just moved on.

    There are quite a lot of things wrong with this game, the greatest of them all is a company called Nexon. Their management and maintenance of the game is simply ridiculous, interaction with, or response to their player community stands next to zero. They think regular updates are all, that people need. Every month there is a major patch, usually with a few new guns and a new map. What for? The amount of guns one can choose in the shop was already overwhelming years ago, by now many guns have the exact same stats, some of them are completely useless. One can easily get lost in the shop, especially newcomers. There are also way too many maps available, despite their number, people tend to play only on a few maps for some reason.

    Despite the fact, that CA was clearly transfroming into a pay to win game, i was holding on. Gameplay was kind of solid, ingame lagg was becoming a more serious problem, but CA was still playable. I never bought anything with nexon cash (NX), used only the ingame currency (GP) for all my gear. Over time, you can get pretty good with GP weapons, there is no need to buy all the fancy guns. Wich are truely overpowered sometimes. And here comes the fact, that player community is absolutely awful in CA. If you manage to dominate players, who spent a lot of cash for top equipment, while your having kind of basic weapons(GP), they will go crazy. People tend to call you hacker, cheater, want to kick you from the room. For playing better then them. IF you'r able to play, because the sheer amount of hackers present in the game is simply beyond belief. The voting system is more than obselete, it's just a broken idea. Elite moderators are kicking almost every player, who manage to keep a better score then they do, players constantly accusing each other back and forth, hacker this, cheater that, the whole process is just disgusting.

    Im trying to understand what Nexon was or is thinking, while following their current path of development. The very core of the game is more than good. The gameplay mechanics, the guns, the gunplay is pretty decent for a F2P shooter, maps are also enjoyable. But this insane idea of making the game an overall theft of the players money is poisoning the whole thing. A good amount of NX items are waaay too powerful, of course people want to have the upper hand, when buying them. After they bought a whole set of premium stuff, it's time to play. And what do you know? Even with the top gear you will be constantly harrased by cheaters, people will call you NX noob, for buying real cash items, servers lag for unknown reasons, and the list goes on and on. All this leads to a very frustrating atmosphere, players are angry with the hackers, with each other, and with Nexon of course.

    So in conclusion, a very satisfying and fun shooter has turned into an unspeakably frustrating, senseless battle against hackers, and into a desperate search of a decent round with tolarable players. The game itself is practically dead, a mear shadow of its former self. I wonder how long will CA actually last, i hope people start to realize soon enough, right now it's all about their money, without giving anything enjoyable in return.

    I tried to overlook the fact that every match had someone cheating in it whether it was hacks or glitches. I figured I could tune up my skills by playing those people. It helped, but then nexon started to Release Guns/Gear/Characters that gave the paying players a wicked advantage. When you have people Cheating while Paying for Items that give you the edge up it just isn't fun anymore.

    The Guns you can Purchase with cash are definitely overpowered and the gear is has much better stats than anything you can purchase with game currency. Yes you can buy good Items and Gear by earning game currency, but the Items that are close to those you purchase with cash are only available if you've reached a very high level. I believe that no game should sell Items for Real Money that improve the stats of a player more than the Items Available to players who don't pay or can't afford to pay.

    The Characters use to just be male and eventually they came out with Female skins they sold for Real Cash for a short while. Soon enough they released them for the creation process. The skins that are sold for Real Cash give extra boosts in stats which shouldn't be the case. Of course if that's not enough... The decided to make the Female skins extra skinny and that made the hit-box on them much smaller. Due to this there are tons of male players who choose female characters or purchase female skins to give them another advantage.

    After playing this game for a long time I noticed how Nexon wasn't really doing anything about the cheats available to anyone who wants them. The Cheats used are not free of course and when Nexon stops a certain set from being used another set instantly becomes available. This eventually made me consider the possibility that Nexon was either making the cheats or profiting from the person who develops them. I think that after years and years of this game making money off of every player that it could find a way or afford to get an anti-cheat aspect for the game. I firmly believe that Nexon is Profiting from the Cheats Developed for Combat Arms.

    Basically... If you feel like playing a Game where you can Pay Real Money to get better Weapons, Gear, Skins and Cheats then Combat Arms is the Game for you. Of course if you don't want to play a game where every match you enter has at least half a dozen cheaters in it running around with Aim-Bot and Overpowered Weapons & Gear as Female character(Harder to Hit) then I don't Suggest Installing Combat Arms.    … Expand

    This game had some good features to it, in fact, a free to play first person shooter with a lot of guns and many to get sounds fun right? well you are dead wrong! There are 4 problems with this game that kills it.

    1. The Amount Of Hackers

    2. The Online Lag

    3. The Arm Shots

    4. The Graphics

    The Hacker rates are out of control, Aim Bots, Spammers, and a lot more. There's even a website all about buying cheats! And it gets annoying for every game you get into, there's a hacker. This is the biggest problem of the game.

    The online lag is so bad, I can't even play it, sometimes when I shoot someone with a shotgun, 7 times, nothing happens. Then I die.

    Getting shot in the arm instantly kills you... headshots take a while (unless you have a sniper) but if you shoot someone in the arm, they will instantly die.

    The graphics aren't important that much in a game, but honestly, it looks like the game was made in 2004. When it was made in 2012.

    Don't get this game. The trailer looked awesome but please do not get this game! I warned you!    … Expand

    Bottom line: Don't ever play this. At first you'll like it, then you get kicked randomly    … Expand

    Combat Arms is a free to play FPS. That is probably already a given, but what you probably did not know is that it is easily one of the worst free to play games ever. The gameplay is mirrored among many other FTP shooters for PC, with nothing that stands out. The game is overrun by hackers, and could take you a good 10-20 minutes to find a game with people who don't cheat. Nexus has doneCombat Arms is a free to play FPS.

The game is overrun by hackers, and could take you a good 10-20 minutes to find a game with people who don't cheat. Nexus has done nothing to stop this from happening. There are some "story" missions and a zombie mission, but they aren't implemented well due to zombie AI and the missions being dull and slow. I've been saving this for last though: Combat Arms is the definition of a Pay 2 Win game. If you don't know what a P2W game is, it's basically when you are required to buy items with your money in order to win a game. CA starts you out with some truly awful weapons, and only gifts you weapon drops every level, which takes a while. These weapons are not permanent, as you get a range of times between 1-14 days. The second your drop runs out, you are screwed. CA also has a recording software built in (still wondering why people would want to record it) but it sucks in all ways. For one, there is no audio recording whatsoever. Secondly, the quality of the video is so bad that I would rather see people record it with an iPhone. In conclusion, Combat Arms is a masterpiece at being won of the worst games to ever grace my PC. The best feature about Combat Arms is its un-install application.… Expand

    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.
