[Lethal]

ill cod4 but idk about mw2

im probably gonna play most of the time that gam on 360 so ye

cod4 im totally up for thow

[Ridley]

Ok first of all: Please let's take a paid game.
While COmabt Arms may be fun, it is not a game that's recognized by gamer everywhere and freeware games usually do not live that long.

Modern Warfare 2 would also be wrong in my opinion, because it will cost everybody 50-60€ and also due to there being no dedicatd servers it is not the best game to start a new community/port an existing community to.

And although i nominated UT3 about half a year ago, I'm starting to wonder if it'll really be good if everyone has to buy it.

So my nomination goes out to Call of Duty 4 for a number of reasons.
- With the CoD4 Div we already have the foundation layed down
- A lot of TX memebs already own it
- The community will stay active for at least another 5 years
- We alreay have members that are not in TX

and we have a private server =)

im for cod4 and css :/

[Zetzu]

I'm the same opinion like Ridley.

Of course Modern Warfare 2 is a great game, but would enough people here really buy it immediately when it releases? It would not help if you buy it in some months or next year. If we choose any CoD game I personally would prefer Modern Warfare 1, since it is a great game and even active, but cheaper than MW2.

what about css there are so many modi's and maps :/ and a big community
u can kick/ban cheater/hacker or ppl who spamming or blocking server's(for guys who dont know

Same in Combat Arms. Further more you can report hackers in 10 seconds to Nexon (producer) and they get banned or deleted. Since everyone has one account there is no faking or name changing during the game possible, you can host without opening any ports and set a password, for clan matches only the playing clans are allowed to join the server!
Just think about RepCom how often we go disturbed by any random idiots.
In addition the game has a very good clan system and a lot of events, ladders, and rankings! There are daily, weekly and all time world and country rankings, in several aspects, as EXP (you get EXP for a match, better stats ->more EXP, with enough EXP you reach the next rank and get new weapons, skins, characters etc).

That's the player ranking (the same kind of rankinf exists with clans!).


As I already said, you earn better ranks and weapons with EXP, here you can see this list:



Every player got his own profile of course were stats and so on are logged.
In this screenshot you can see how a players online profile looks.

Finally it is possible to say that Combat Arms got a very active community with hosted events by the producer, houndredthousands gamers in europe currently play it, even more in america!
More than enough to get a very succesfull division.

We take a look at Nexon's latest addition to their free game list: Combat Arms. This game is more than any free game could be and by the looks of it, could have made a killing by today's graphics standard. Read on for more info on the best free FPS to date (Org. Published Aug 2008).
Review of Combat Arms: Free to Play FPS

Combat Arms coverIn the video game industry today, we look for a game with the best graphics and the best gameplay. There are some major contenders who bring home the bacon with a combination of both but there are many companies who are lacking it all.

Nexon America, a sister company to Nexon Korea, has released their latest game called Combat Arms. With many free games on their list, how can a small company who makes their money with item shops possibly make a game where it combines depth, action, and sheer fluidity to a game and still be free? No one knows the answer, nor is it ever asked and it shouldn't. Combat Arms definitely does deliver what all FPS gamers need and shows potential with where it can go.

Getting Started

You start the game with a basic setup. You choose how your soldier looks and then name him. Where it gets tricky is the weapons you start with. They consider the M16A1 Automatic rifle to be the weakest by today's standards and therefore offer it as its "free" weapon. You also start with standard military issue camo and a combat knife as well as some basic frag grenades.

As for now, customization is very limited but the developers have stated that you will be able to "purchase" looks in the future, which leads me to the best part. EVERY gun, grenade, armor vest, helmet, uniform, or anything else that can be used to punish your enemies will never EVER cost you any real life money. That's right. You can be just as powerful as the highest killer on the servers and never have spent a penny. The ingame money, known as GP, is what you use to buy your gear with and is only earned by winning matches. Depending on how many kills you get determines what place you come in on the leaderboards for that match and thus, determines how much experience and GP you earn.
Experience

Experience? Why is there experience points in an FPS? Actually, this is nothing new. In the Battlefield games, your soldier earns experience to unlock weapons and to earn rank. The same is true in Combat Arms. You earn rank to unlock certain weapons and gear. You also have to be a certain rank to join a clan and start one. This leaves an incentive to playing the game and really pushes the player to rank up instead of creating multiple accounts.

There is also a KDR (Kill/Death Ratio) which is available for all players to see. Naturally, the higher your KDR is, the better you look to other players, and believe it or not, determines whether opposing clans will fight you in clan matches or even play in the same match with you in normal matches. Rank does not determine how good a player is however. Rank is merely an indication on how much that player has played and there are definitely some people on there with a rank so high that it looks as if they have no life. Which is probably true.
Game Play

So how is the gameplay? The gameplay is the next best thing about Combat Arms. The gameplay feels a lot like Counterstrike meets Unreal Tournament. There is blood and lots of it as well as tactical espionage action. There is four gameplay modes and each are unique in their own way.

* Elimination: Players are put on two teams: Alpha and Bravo and are pitted against each other in a deathmatch. The team with the most kills wins.

* One Man Army: Exactly as it sounds. You are your own team in the ultimate of deathmatches.

* Search and Destroy: Players are again placed into two teams: Alpha and Bravo. Each member of Alpha has control of a bomb and must reach locations A or B (Marked by Chevron's on the HUD) and must plant the bomb. Bravo team must either destroy all of Alpha teams members or disarm the planted bomb. Players have one minute from the time the bomb is planted to disarm it.

* Capture the Flag: Ah, ye olde Capture the Flag. Probably the most common of game modes for any FPS on the market. Capture the Flag consists of yet again, two teams. Alpha and Bravo. The rest is pretty self explanatory, each team must try to capture the opposing teams' flag.

*Fireteam: Play with other players against bots to save the hostiles life. Some kind of Coop-Singleplayer.


One of the major concepts about Combat Arms that makes its gameplay unique, is the sense of "reward" you get from killing your enemies. For every kill you get, it flashes how many kills you have in front of your face. And it is even more rewarding if you can kill two to three players in less than five seconds. It boldy states "Double Kill!" or "Multi Kill!". And it is also seen by other players. Very rewarding indeed.

Of course Modern Warfare 2 is a great game, but would enough people here really buy it immediately when it releases? It would not help if you buy it in some months or next year.

Wow you didnt even read my psot. I DID SUGGEST MODERN WARFARE 1!!

Once again to Combat Arms:
it may hav all these functinallities, but the truth is the gamepaly is not one bit better than repcom. Even worse, the respawning system is compeletly broken wit players spawning in front of each other. Also YOu have to buy your weapons every day/week or month so you have to repetetly do that. And due to that there is a really big gap between skill and weapons.
Also playing a freeware game is a double edged sword. Of course it's free, but so you really want to step over from one bad game to another? Really?

[War]

I'm going to try Combat Arms
I will buy MW2 for sure, and if you go to MW1, i will maybe buy it ..

[Almy]

so we should make a poll css? cod4? cod mw2? ut3? or CA?

[viva]

i think u should buy mw1 its a good game

[Ridley]

I don't think a poll is a good idea.
I think the decision should be made by some kind of council, no not the CC.

[Elegost]

Cod4 = Main division

[DC-17]

Cod 4 MW1 or CSS. Good reasons have been given above for both games, and I definitely think one of these two games would be the best deal. (I'd be more up for a MW1 division).

[Ironhide]

Wow you didnt even read my psot. I DID SUGGEST MODERN WARFARE 1!!

I did read it. Therefore I am not allowed to post my seperated opinion? I know what you suggested, btw. I even agreed that MW1 would be better than MW2.

[Pricey]

some kind of council, no not the CC.

Uhmm Thanks?

Can you clarify what thats supposed to mean? Seems pretty harsh..
