Great game to play if you enjoy fast paced action and a huge selection of weapons and don't mind hoards of cheaters.

I started to play Combat Arms back when it came out a couple of years ago. I found it to be a lot of fun until I realized that the game was being sucked dry by cheaters and a sincere lack of customer support from Nexon.

I lost my account twice now do to Nexon server errors and that is beyond frustrating. Over the last year the game has become a haven for cheaters, hackers, and the occasional system breach. Nexon has done very little, in fact nothing, to prevent these exploits form happening.

If you are dumb enough to pay real money, as I did, for one of their gaming cards, well then, like me, you just threw away your money. Life time gun purchases usually last about six months before they disappear from your account. Poof, $30 bucks gone. And NEXON customer service is MIA so don't even bother. Their forums are useless as well.

Reporting of hackers and cheaters gets you no where and more often than not, a skilled, non cheating player, will get booted from the game for being too good. In most cases its just a ticked off 12 year old who initiates the kick process and most players, being fed up with cheaters, auto vote yes to kick the player.

The game is a lot of fun when you can find a server with good players who aren't hacking or cheating. Those games are the most rewarding of the lot. However they are far and few in between.

The game modes offer a lot of varation and fun. The ranking system rewards players for kills however it is crippled by the hackers and cheaters who can rack up 100 kill per game and acend in rank to top levels in just days whereas non cheating players take a year or so. (Then their accounts reset and they have to start over... like I have had to do twice.)

Overall the game is a lot of fun, but ruined by a lack of support from NEXON in dealing with cheaters and hackers. Also the game isn't secure and a lot of players have had their computers compromised, (hacked) as a result of playing the game. Play at your own risk is the rule of the day when it comes to Combat Arms.
