  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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]

    PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE ASSUMING THE GAME IS NOT GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    This game is indeed original, sure theres hackers bu
    t 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
  2. 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. Expand
  3. Used to play this game a while back, but i quit due to annoying little problems like parasitic hackers and the bad recoil. The gun prices are a slap in the face too, but if you get your wallet out, be prepared to win. Expand
  4. My very first FPS game i ever played. It was fun back in 2008, but the community became terrible. it has way more crying kids then cod. There are a lot of hackers in the game, i never played a game with so many hackers. and the community is so terrible, even if your not a hackers they will call you a hacker, and they will call you more then only a hacker. The game has horrible servers to. Also, you cant really become a pro in this game. Only if you pay for the good weapons, you can get pro. if you dont buy NX, it's really hard to get some kills. It was definitly worth downloading in 2008, now its just a waste of gigs on your computer. Expand
