What is Reddit's opinion of
Combat Arms?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
38 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
The most recent example of this is the new attachments. My personal favourite is the one that makes your bullets do more damage with no consequences: http://combatarms.nexon.net/News/UpdateView.aspx?boardidx=741
The gameplay itself is pretty bad and the game has mandatory mouse smoothing, but the balance is the real killer.
Here's my questions for you guys:
Have you guys checked out my new album "Don't Wait Up (for George)" of not, check it here: http://www.amazon.com/Dont-Wait-George-Shooter-Jennings/dp/B00KYQS4VM
Do you guys play Combat Arms? If you do please look for me WillOTheWisp in the game, and we can play when we are in there. If you do play computer games but don't have combat arms, please visit: http://combatarms.nexon.net
Do you do your reediting on your computer, and spend a lot of time in front of a computer? If so, then you need to try out our experimental music platform "BCR BAZAAR", email us at
The "reloaded" patch is rebalancing most of the gun variations to have same stats as their base. Also, everything available for NX in the shop will also be available for GP.
They have all been removed from the shop because of the next update. Nexon hasn't said exactly what it will be yet, but all of the affected items were removed from the shop this morning. We do know that specs will become normal mercs and spec weapons will still be usable, but they haven't released anything else about it yet.

>Plus who really gives a fuck?
Look at the front page of this sub, or EA forums... Yes, BF3 looks great and I don't doubt they have striven to make a better game than even BC2. Like I said, would you be fine if they released DLC guns every so often? Or, say, other FPSers take note and have 5-10 weapons available as "DLC" in the PSN/Live Market/what-have-you? It's not like it hasn't happened before.
Do you currently have any speed gear? Going to assume you do since you can get most of it for GP now (other then recon vest)
AR: Classic g36e is always good and you can buy it for GP. I personally perf the CQB Camo over every AR but if CQB is banned in CW then i go for G3.
SMG: p90 tr if for GP or p90 trse (trse is for sale rn btw: http://combatarms.nexon.net/en/Event/View/3131) but p90 trse custom is the best smg imo. Other people might say that UMP is the best smg which can be true with its high damage is alright recoil.
SR: Tango. Just get the tango or if you want the most OP sr in the game get SG50.
About cases: imo at how nexon handles sales right now every thurs/fri nexon puts up some NX rare things for sale for perm. If you have that one gun you really want i would wait for nexon to put that gun out for sale since they put out rare sales pretty often of new things. Cases are random and give random ammount of days so you are never 100% sure to get what you want or for how long you want that gun.
tl:dr - GP: G36e, p90 tr and tango. NX: Cqb camo, p90 trse and tango/sg50. Cases are not worth just wait for the gun you want to go on sale.
TL:DR
New game mode: Basically hunger games
New Gestures
Free Cam
Combatpoly. kinda in the word its self. combat arms monopoly.
PCM game mode has E-Pro now
Single player EXP/GP
Changed some guns in PCM (THANK YOU NEXON FOR REMOVING G3)
Recruit server is back.
Aswell a new gun has been added [would like to test with GP but cant :( /u/NXPumpAction plz] and week 2 of winter mayham sale.
http://combatarms.nexon.net/News/EventView.aspx?BoardIDX=2389
M6A2 family (Standard, Vimy Ridge or 2nd Amandement)
I haven't tried the M6A2-SRT yet, but it has 2 damage points less...
G36KE hasn't been nerfed, you might want to consider it if you like it's recoil and spread.
G36E is still a very good choice.
I haven't tried the the CZ805 recently, but M6 has way more damage.
In fact M6 and G36 have the same damage of 40.
Weapons statistics
someone finally brings up this topic. ima tag /u/NXEr1s since this is a problem that has been in the making for over 9 months now.
Give you some context for OP and Eris (since it seems like she does not know about this topic) nexon released this (http://combatarms.nexon.net/en/Update/View/866/1) post saying that they are removing alot of things from the game. This included emod "Elite Moderator and Super Elite Moderator removed from the Shop. From August 24th on, the Elite Moderator and Super Elite Moderator items will no longer be available in the shop. Further information regarding these items will follow shortly."
Now this was fine since people are expecting a post on what is going to happen with emod soon... "soon". 9 months later? Still nothing.
The only thing i can think of nexon removing emod is when the new big update comes out (which is when who knows at this point) is to make it so no one has emod anymore and majority will only use matchmaking. (i could go on another rant of how this will kill what little of NA players remain since majority of NA play Grave digger epro SR only. But thats for another thread) [This is pure speculation but this is all nexon is allowing us to do since we dont know a fking thing that is going on.]
Now this doesn't really apply to what you posted OP but megaphone/achievement system still exist and haven't been "fully" removed from the game.
e: also some people still have spec weapons and someone still has exclusive pass xD
Install the Nexon Launcher. http://combatarms.nexon.net/downloads/gameclient.aspx
It sounds like you have the EU client installed, so you may need to install again. The Nexon Launcher will install a modified version of the EU launcher that will automatically log you in using the same account you used to log in to the Nexon Launcher. From there, it will launch normally. If you do need to install again, it will be after the automatic EU login.
First, can you see if this video matches what's happening on your system with where Nexon Launcher is downloading files, and if the player's solution helps you?
If not, can you perform a 'hopefully more full' full uninstall of both Combat Arms and Nexon Launcher?
--Uninstall Combat Arms through Nexon Launcher
--Uninstall Nexon Launcher via Windows 'Uninstall a Program'
--Locate the following folder on your C: drive and delete all files if any persisted following an uninstall; " C:\Users[NAME OF WINDOWS LOGIN]\AppData\Roaming\NexonLauncher "
--Manually check if any Combat Arms or Nexon Folders still persist on the C: , or other drives which you may have used.
--Download Nexon Launcher from the following page, the 'Combat Arms Downloader' button ; http://combatarms.nexon.net/downloads/gameclient.aspx
--With a fresh install of Nexon Launcher, log in.
--First, visit Nexon Launcher Settings (click the arrow next to your profile image and choose Settings from the drop down menu)
--Change the game install directory to something that has never been used before, whether on your C: or a different drive inside your computer (not an external USB drive or such), such as "C:\TestingInstall"
--Confirm the new download location for games, and attempt to download Combat Arms.
--Go to the folder and make sure it has downloaded the 5-6 files, as this is normal.
--If the 5-6 files are not in any of the folders where you told it to download files, attempt a 'Repair' on the Combat Arms installation to get the 5-6 files to redownload via this method.
--Once you have the 5-6 files, launch the game, which the 5-6 files should then proceed with the Nexon Europe updater to complete the process.
Check if you have a folder called C:/Nexon/Combat_Arms/ along with C:/Nexon/Library/gameapps/combatarms/ ; if you do, try to copy the files from C:/Nexon/Combat_Arms into C:/Nexon/Library/gameapps/combatarms/
It worked for me, I also made a thread about it on nexon forums, since every time I patch I have to do that again. http://combatarms.nexon.net/Community/#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1453127-Fixing-Nexon-Launcher-Installations%26nxid%3D14
You didn't mention anything about the Nexon Launcher. As of the April 2015 patch, you need to have a separate launcher (basically a Steam ripoff that only works for Nexon games) to play CA. You can download it here: http://combatarms.nexon.net/downloads/gameclient.aspx
ive seen people say that when you PULL the lever (not defeat the boss) you get x3 EXP. I tried it out with one game getting 200k~ points and waiting till 20 min. ended up getting 30k EXP. Same thing but at 30 min and got 11k. So yea you get ALOT more exp if u wait BUT if you look at the wall of shame (http://combatarms.nexon.net/Support/WallOfShame?tab=WallOfShame) and go some page's back (for me its page 6 atm) and see people getting perm banned for "Abusing Glitches" which is waiting 20min to get ~3x exp.
So just play legit and dont get banned :)
Not a bad review, but it failed to point out that there's a sale going on for perms that is for a limited time - http://combatarms.nexon.net/home/newsdetail/?contentNo=00Hw6 - phrasing in the video makes it sound like these extra-lower prices are the standard. Bit of nitpicking there I suppose.
I think I'm roughly in the same camp as the review's assessment; there are some annoying roughspots but now NX guns can be had for GP without annoying antics like opening a crapton of hisec cases for only a tiny-few offerings. That is a -huge- change in favor of free-players.
Ill write a TL:DR if anyone wants it.
- New prices for item's should reflect there rarity.
- Price difference should be 15-50%
- 1 Day GP guns are coming back
- Appears you can't modify 1 day guns (not sure nexon worded it wired)
- "Oh and one more thing, you can now purchase permanent version of all the weapons that were sold for GP."
- Grey and Black HiSec cases getting replaced with "Ghost Hisec Cases and Ghost Hisec Keys" (Read more about the changes here http://combatarms.nexon.net/Community#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1219040-Important-Announcement-Changes-to-HiSec-Cases-Inbound%26nxid%3D14)
- Changing so you can see stats of guns better (just use wiki dam)
- Item's will get a "Grade now" (don't really understand from nexon wording)
- Every week you get X amount of guns for free. These change every week. (If you play league its like champ rotation)
- More guns for ranking up (Have yet to say anything if you are GOA and what you get)
- I think thats it for the main stuff (if i miss anything i will update post :])
Yes, the TAUs are perm guns. What gets upgraded depends on what sort of upgrade you're doing, and to what sort of weapon. Breakdown of the different upgrades here.
Note: "According to Combat Arm's production manager, the M417 TAU Series will be removed from the Scvanger/Upgrade Jobs and the Gun Emporium on either Wed. March 19th or Thur. March 20th." As you can see, they've already pulled the upgrade into on the M417 from that page. So move on that one quick if you want it, soldier!
As for "best", that's a relative term. That depends on your play style, how you like your gear to handle, and what you can afford. Get yourself into some Arms Race games - you'll get to test fire lots of different weapons for free that way.
If you can manage to gather enough nanos to get them, I'd definitely go for the TAUs over the stock perm guns you get. In many cases, the TAU guns are "better" than GP guns•, but they're sure cheaper :)
- Again, this is relative. Personally, I hate the feel of the L85, regardless of model, and would sooner use an M416, but you might like it.
yep, i do, you're right on all counts but im no longer with inFluence as they died, and ive given up on playing for WOGL or trying to :P
and yes you were right :) http://combatarms.nexon.net/Community/HallofFame.aspx?contentNo=008D5
Combat Arms: Reloaded just recently launched. Basically the same as classic combat arms, but with balanced weapons, everything can be unlocked with in-game currency and modern graphics. No console version though.
Check the new stats, M6A2 has the stats of the Second Amendment/Vimy Ridge, which means better damage than the CQB and the SRT. It's probably better than the REC7 and M417s since you can choose the scope you want, higher damage and the burst is deadly.
Hey tuaprima! New rules and managing of those have been set in place in January. As anything regarding accounts and related sanctions is a confidential matter between the account-holder and Nexon, these are not being discussed public anymore. You can read the related announcement here.
I just returned after 2011 too, lots of things have changed. It was only recently that Nexon made all the guns available for all ranks (check here: http://combatarms.nexon.net/en/Update/View/869). You can also buy lots of NX-only guns or special guns from cases for GP now, noticeably the G36E Valkyrie and the SCAR-L Trispear.
I think this is super cool (and literally insane) for a company like Nexon to do this, but I'm enjoying trying out all the guns I couldn't unlock before.
They put out this post earlier this week talking about major stuff that'll be changing before the end of 2016. At the end they have a picture from the edge of the map "Costa Recon". If you mouse over the image, you'll see that it changes to one with the update graphics.
I know this is a bit off topic but could you please check out this thread I posted on the forums last week about a possible glitch spot? To me it seems like a glitch but I would like to hear an official statement because I heard I could get banned for kicking when it's not a glitch. http://combatarms.nexon.net/Community/#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1487208-Is-this-spot-a-glitch%26nxid%3D14
It looks like you have the EU installer setup on your machine, not the NA "Nexon Launcher".
Likely will need to uninstall what you have there, and get setup to play by clicking "Combat Arms Downloader" and then "Download the Launcher & Start Playing" - http://combatarms.nexon.net/downloads/gameclient.aspx
Over 60% off on the Tried and True package: (ACE) G36E Valkyrie , (ACE) L115A3, and Recon Vest all for Permanent!
Also some Cosmetic items offering Permanent duration for this offer-- I mean, technically the Tiger Stripe Camo is not a cosmetic item, but it looks good when combined with the Recon Vest IMO

Don't think it's good-form to start posting a bunch of newspost links here, but I wanted to make sure players would at least get a chance at a free perm! Players shouldn't miss out on such things if they want them : )
http://combatarms.nexon.net/News/NoticeView.aspx?boardidx=7544
Just log in each day, 21 accumulative logins for the Roll Call Event gets you a free perm MINIMI. I think easy stuff anyhow
Back when LOS was first announced Brozooka said there were no plans to ever bring it to NA.
"Will Nexon America be releasing Combat Arms: Line of Sight? • Nexon America has no plans to release Combat Arms: Line of Sight directly in the US. Instead we’re focusing on our new FPS titles including Dirty Bomb from Splash Damage which is currently in closed beta on Steam and recently announced ‘Project BlueStreak’ from Boss Key Productions."
The net tab of the browser dev tools (hit F12). It shows requests the webpage makes and thus you can figure out where the browser is getting this data from.
As an aside, some parameters of that URL seem to be unnecessary (you'll often want to play around with these private APIs to figure out what the various parameters do). Thus, the URL can be simplified to:

If you're not already aware, the data is structured as JSON. See: http://php.net/manual/en/book.json.php
I just tried a few things and couldn't get it to work.
It seems they're doing stuff on their server.
However, if you spoof your user agent (pretend to be a web browser), it works fine.
Here's what worked for me with cURL:
$ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://combatarms.nexon.net/profile/playerprofile.aspx?playername=-Blix"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/44.0.2403.107 Safari/53"); $result=curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); // $result now holds the entire <html> response of that page
lots of people have had this problem. Im going to guess ur on NA in which there is a mant (http://combatarms.nexon.net/Community#%2Fshowthread.php%3F1346919%26p%3D11252844%26viewfull%3D1%23post11252844) that might or might not fix this problem.
I was going to quit this game, because it's so bad with all its 64 tick etc. I would much rather play a real game, where the devs care about what the community thinks. I'm gonna try combatarm!
Noooo idea what TAU means.
According to http://combatarms.nexon.net/home/newsdetail/?contentNo=00Ht6 TAU be axed the 23rd. Assume that is like '23rd in the morning' given when they usually do patches or maintenance.
Also worth noting that you can swap 100nanotech for -another- L85A1 TAU after you've upgraded it (e.g., you upgraded to L85A1 MOD TAU, have at least 100 nanotech, get yourself a spare L85A1 TAU). But at that point I'd recommend getting yourself the M60 TAU to have a masheengun.
Combat Arms is FTP, it's made by nexon. It used to be pretty fun back when it came out. Sadly I haven't played it in a long time, so I'm not sure if it's still good. Could be a bot graveyard at this point.
I wrote a thread on the forums about how bad this game is.
It definitely is not going to recover. I've waited too long for it to recover.
i don't think i've ever seen it in a COD game. The only game i can think of off the top of my head is Combat Arms.
Hey! Nice to meet a CA redditor. I assume this is you? Nice clan you have going, level four in just 1.5 months? That's really impressive. Well, anyway, if you know any other redditors who play CA, please bring 'em here! It would be awesome to get to know CA players who aren't 10 years old or BR lol.
