Although the game doesn’t really provide players with any new features or formats to explore, what it does provide has been well rendered. In addition to customising the looks of their characters, they can choose which guns they want to do battle with as well as a wide range of accessories such as silencers and scopes.Fans of Counter Strike are sure to have fun playing Combat Arms. Although there are plenty of opportunities for players to earn game cash by completing missions and scoring kills, the general cost of weapons and amo is relatively low and it does not take too much effort to built up an arsenal that can be used to take out the competition.Many of the game elements can be customised to provide players with the perfect options and tools they need to take out the soldiers of fortune. Players are notified by icons on their head of the best types of moves to use to take out the enemy such as kill streaks and headshots, diminishing the decision making process to some extent.One of the ways that Combat Arms manages to step away from the familiar format to some extent is in the fact that weapons are rented rather than being bought. This takes away the element of realism that other games in this genre offer and makes the game feel a bit cheap and rushed. Granted, the scope in this type of game is rather limited, but there are still many interesting things that could have been included.The combat is fast paced and replicates the action of an arcade game. ![]()
