Combat Arms Editor's Review

Combat Arms is a massively multi-player first person shooting game. Because you get to see the action through the protagonist’s eyes, you really feel like you’re in the room doing the shooting. And because it’s massively multi-player, you won’t be alone. You will be supported by a wide range of allies, which is just as well because you’ll also be challenged by hordes of enemies.

Pro's: The game itself is pretty fast and Nexon’s Combat Arms is free to play which is a major consideration. There’s an enormous online community of players who are immersed in the game. Or you can choose to play with your friends by setting up password protected areas which include a private chat area.

Con's: In a shooting game, you’re really only as good as your gun. There are lots of upgrades available, but you have to earn these by logging in regularly, which is not a great option if you’re an occasional player. Alternatively, you’re going to have to cough up and buy Nexon Cash. Unsurprisingly, because it’s free to play, you may find your game spoiled by hackers, and you may be put off by the volume of spam in the in-game chat.

Conclusion: Overall, this is well worth getting, not least because it’s free to play, unlike some other multi-player games. The shooting action is impressive and there’s a good selection of weaponry, provided you’re willing to play regularly or spend some of your hard earned Nexon Cash. You can choose from a selection of uniforms and choose to jazz these up with custom extras if you’re willing to spend money on looking good.
