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.

Graphics: 6/10 good for a free game but doesnt hold a candle to 'real' games Gameplay 8/10 very good and addictive and with a low low price of FREE you cant go wrong though the huge amount of hackers take the fun out at times but if you can find some earnest players its pretty damn good!

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. But the gamplay is a really great blast. Sometimes, its also fun to try and kill hackers, then if you succeed, laugh and stick your goolies in his face. That'll show em hacks are for moronic noobs.… Expand

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. 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

Awesome man just started playing 2 days ago and already its so addicting and so little hackers from what i saw on the forums man.

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.

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.

Game is very well done but is filled with HACKERS!

The only reason anyone plays this is because it's free. My friend says Combat Arms used to be a good game, but like all Nexon Games, they ruin them by adding all these random stuff like maps. They epicly fail on recoil when your gun just starts shaking around.

Graphics: 3/10 Gameplay: 3/10 Balance: 0/10 Good for its price: No. Gamemodes: 5/10 Combat arms is an FPS which fails to deliver in comparison to other games in the genre. Counter-Strike is a cheap game, but is superior to this and will probably cost you less in the end, plus has modding.

Combat Arms was great in it's hey-day. I used to play it non-stop, owning noobs and constantly being called a hacker. There was nothing enjoyed more than getting home and going 25-2 in a game. But that all changed when Nexon reared that ugly head of theirs and ruined everything. Now, the community was bad to start with. I was there for the open beta. I was there for the first three major hacker wars. I was there to witness Nexon going back on their rule of "NX items are purely cosmetic". I was there when the specialists were added, and Infection was added. I saw the community go from tolerable to "everything that kills me is hacks. I am so pro at this game that I can never die." The only lights in this awful storm were the forum members who tried to help. Then came the great reform. The Nexon admins and GMs started doing something for once, but it was just too late. They had added too much content to balance, taken too long removing the majority of hackers, ignored the community for too long. It was over. The game was forever ruined, and it was a sad time.. Perhaps some day it will regain it's former glory, but until then, it will remain as the biggest testament to Nexon's failure.… Expand

combat arms does have some original gameplay like the quarantine feature, however, many things ruin that from unbalanced gameplay due to NX, the graphics are overall horrible with no really time lighting and clunky polygons, the overall destruction and realism is also extremely low. I known people who spent well over 1000 dollars on this game just to get a advantage because they suck, instead when they can be getting better titles like Battlefield or Crysis, I recommend battlefield play4free, which is free, but gameplay and content and graphics are better than this game.… Expand

So, I don't particularly like Nexon, their GMs/Mods or their policies on dealing with customer complaints and handling of tickets. That aside, the community is a total grab bag. There are some great, skilled and mature people to play with. On the other hand their are hackers (though a LOT less than when it first started up), lots of QQing (complaining in game about others hacking/glitching when they aren't), and most of all too much rage kicking. You can just choose to ignore these people and for the most part it shouldn't be a problem. It's great for a couple of hours if your bored or if you need something free. I wouldn't advise putting money into it, as their in game items can run up to nearly $25.00 a piece (for 1 (one) permanent weapon). Graphically it is amazing, the level designs are mostly solid, there is a huge selections of guns you can "rent" for free using in game currency known as GP (game points). Why anyone would spend a dime on this game I am not sure. There are even ways to earn free NX, though I recommend caution with any "third-party" offers. Regardless of whomever is offering them.… Expand

CrossFire is so much better than this. It runs on the same engine and there's more customisation here with attachments and stuff. It's not a bad game, but it's definitely not great or a competitor for other free shooters out there. The graphics and gameplay just aren't consistent or anything worth your time. In sum, the philosophy of this game is "Cheap and sh*t"

Combat Arms isn't half bad, the animations are well done same with the maps and weapon choice. However the game is easy to hack into and there are loads of hackers but luckily we have mod servers. Another problem is you barley get any ingame cash after a match but its a free game and the company have got to make some money so its ok. The modes are fairly good and easy to learn. Graphics: 7/10 Weapons: 9/10 Community: 5/10 Overall: 7/10… Expand

The only up I can think of about this game was playing with my clan against other clans. But you can do this in other, better shooting games. The game would be acceptable if there wouldn't be so many hackers. If you want a good free shooting game, go play TF2 or buy a real game.

Well it's an average game filled with hackers... but still enjoyable from time to time...
