    Combat Arms is fun. Simple as that. If you can overlook the annoying players, then anyone looking for a competitive online shooter should look no further. This is free to play FPS at its best.

    I really enjoy the action and gameplay that Combat Arms has to offer. And with a free admission price, it’s kind of difficult to not at least try it out for a few matches. At the very least, you will respect the ability of the game to be fun, fast paced, and highly addictive.

    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.

    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]

    The gameplay, meanwhile, is largely basic and undeniably old-school, but it can be fun, fast, furious and reasonably deep if you find a map and mode you like, and are lucky enough to get a team that works together.

    I've been playing this game since early 2009.
    While some people will tell you that there are many games with better gameplay, they're    I've been playing this game since early 2009.
    While some people will tell you that there are many games with better gameplay, they're actually dead wrong. Combat Arms' gameplay is an outstanding shooter title with one major flaw: Community. The Combat Arms community dramatically takes away from just how great this game could be. Many players accuse many others of hacking quite often, and actual cheaters appear often enough to help break up gameplay significantly. To compound this problem are the following issues. Kicking is horribly restricted in the most arbitrary ways, and leaving a game early takes away your rewards. Therefore, hackers can effectively destroy your game progress, and Nexon lets it happen, because of the arbitrary kick restrictions. It takes less than 50% of players in a game room to pass moderator abuse punishments, vote kicks require a 2/3rds majority, and one cannot kick at all in game modes that do not involve teams, without having the moderator item. At its core the game is a strong title, but the company managing the game simply ran it into the ground. Doobic studios probably is not happy with the things Nexon has done along the way; but kudos to them for making a great FPS. Nexon is the villain getting in the way of your fun, but that doesn't mean you can't have it. Just expect some hiccups with that fun.

    TL;DR
    Combat Arms is a well put together game which has a terrible community full of cheaters and is managed terribly.    … Expand

Tons of hackers filled 50% of games you joined. Instead of solving the problem, they offer you elite mode for those raging kids to abuse kicking players out of games. What they have left just play game modes that versus AI. However, this also get worse. Nexon is a money slave that almost making all gears only can purchase with real money, In game currency become useless. Lack of gears you can purchase end up not enough weapons to carry for ANY game mode. They make this game 100% PAY to WIN or HACK to WIN. One of the worst FPS of all.… Expand

It was enjoyable and at the time, was a decent shooter. But all of the: hackers, glitchers, and people who kick you for their own made up rules like; shifting, and like that. Why do you get kicked for sprinting? What's next, kicked for "clicking". Actually, that already happens. If you don't suck as much ass as all the infant children who play this, you must be a hacker.

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