Conbat arms is an mmofps, i like it and its free so i play it normaly.

From Wikipedia:
Combat Arms is entirely a multiplayer game with no single-player mode, and contains 4 game modes: Elimination (Team Deathmatch), One Man Army (Deathmatch), Search & Destroy (Bomb mode), and Capture the Flag, and as of now consists of 9 maps: Warhead (factory), Pump Jack (oil station), Snow Valley, (a missile launch site in the middle of snow-covered mountains), Gray Hammer (power station), Junk Flea (desert junkyard), Cold Seed (snow-covered mine), Two Towers (communications tower), Brushwood (a small jungle map, with a down plane hideout), and Sand Hog (unknown map coming october 1st). Players who start a room, (known as the Room Master) are able to choose the map, game mode, set score and time limits, and controls the weapons other players can use or not use, (for example, Melee only, or No sniper rifles allowed). Players are able to obtain in-game money known as gear points (GP) and experience after a match, allowing them to rank up and buy new weapons and equipment, such as armor, uniforms, and backpacks for their persistent characters. There is a rental system of equipment instead of actual purchases of the weapons and gear. The rental periods are 1 day, 7 days, 30 days, and 90 days, each rental period costing more in-game money.

I used to play it during the summer (OneSnailArmy). Now I don't, though, because I don't have enough time to earn the money necessary to keep the weapons I (used) to have, due to the equipment rental system.
The equipment rental system is the one thing I really don't like - They should have a system that counts gameplay time instead of real-life time.

This has always just sounded like Counter Strike: Source to me except you rent your weapons rather than buy them every round.

In all honesty, I've been wanting to try it, but every time I go to try it, someone tells me that I really shouldn't. One top of that, it DOES seem like Counter Strike, although, the customize your weapons thing does draw me closer to playing it.. that and the ranking system.

Yeah, same here. I'm just not into the game as much as most people :\

Also, Snuggletummy, the game is basically just a big time waster.

By the way, don't bother getting a sniper rifle unless you're a hardcore sniper. I mean, really hardcore. otherwise, it's just not worth it. Believe me, I know.

I really like Combat Arms, and played it to almost addiction during summer.
The graphics are absolutely amazing for a free game, with bloodshot eyes, and every little detail is there.
I'm T3CHNiCOLOR in game, and use xfire in case anyone wants to add me. =)

@PsychoSnail: Money is literally not a problem when you play One Man Army, I'm averaging at 250 G per 45kill round, which are really short anyways. So if you're short on money, try playing that, obviously you win/loss ratio will go down, since you only have a 1/16 chance of winning, versus 1/2 for elimination. But yeah, the equip rental system blows, but it doesn't affect me anymore heheh.

@Snuggletummy: I suggest you try it. I mean I'm not biased or trying to get more people to play, it's just really you can't know whether or not you're gonna like it if you don't try. I've probably downloaded at least 20 games that I've played for no more than an hour or so, but it's just testing it, see how it is, see if it's a keeper or not.

@Spoon: Snipers Rifles are only needed for Snow Valley, and maybe Warhead. Cause in any other map, a M4 or any gun would do fine for accuracy. Plus with the money saved, you can get better equips, or a better secondary gun, backpacks, mines, etc etc. It's really handy.

Gah 10mp. 10 minute post.

THe only reason I don't want to play it is because Nexon owns it. And after playing and quitting Maplestory.... NO.

Hey man, I created that character with no reference to any NUMA user.
I just happened to make it at the same time that I had my Coldplay addiction.

I'm so rusty at it now, after about two months not playing, my k/d was only 1/1 and less.

Also, who cares about what's on your Slurpee? I surely would careless about it, since it's what's on the inside that counts; the Slurpee itself of course. ;D

Ooh, well in that case, then I get where you're coming from. Cause my friends wouldn't even bother to look at the Slurpee decals, and go straight to the "Can I have a sip?".
