'''''Combat Arms''''' is a free-to-play online [[First-Person Shooter]] developed by the South Korean studio Doobic Studios and published by Nexon. Players in the game are split into team Alpha and team Bravo, and duke it out on a variety of maps.
 
[[Allegedly Free Game|The game has a rental system when it comes to its weapons and gear.]] Everyone in the game gets an M16, a M9, a knife, and a grenade as default gear, but as the game is played, they earn GP or gear points, which allows them to rent new guns and accessories for an amount of time.
Line 6:
The game also features the Black Market, an in-game shop in which the currency is NX points, which are purchased with real money. This shop includes new character models, guns with cooler looks, double xp abilities, and the ability to change the default weapons permanently to better weapons.
 
Like many recent first-person shooters, [[''Combat Arms]]'' consists of game modes such as Team Deathmatch (known as ElminationElimination) and One Man Army (Free-For-All). The game also has a ranking system based on military ranks. The higher the player is ranked, the more gear they can rent in the shop (although the black market has no rank restriction.)

* [[All There in the Manual]]: There's little by way of ingamein-game explanation, and it seems as though a great deal was lost along with the original Fireteam mode. Given the blurbs for each level and buyable merc do little to connect to each other, you could be forgiven for thinking there was [[Excuse Plot|no plot at all]].

** It's there on the game page, but you're probably not looking for it.
* [[Allegedly Free Game]]: Not as bad as other examples, really. If you're good enough, you can still kick ass with your basic gear.

* [[Cool Guns]]: Some of the weapons and weapons skins you can pick up in the shop and black market, [[Bling Bling Bang|gold plating]] among them.
* [[Critical Existence Failure]]: You can run around with 1 HP, but fall down several feet and...
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: When Quarantine mode was released, a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130703065924/http://combatarms.nexon.net/FunStuff/Wallpaper.aspx promotional logo] was made, with [http://www.l4d.com/blog/ a bit of influence from a certain other game.]
* [[Easter Egg]]: At one point, delving into some of the games files and looking into some user configuration text files revealed some leftover bits including such variables as "vehicle turn speed" and "toggle night vision." While the night vision was actually teased (before it was changed) by a loading screen for the map Rattlesnake with a picture of a merc using a pair of goggles with a pistol drawn, none of it never came to be. In subsequent updates, the variables were removed.
* [[Everything's Deader with Zombies]]: Quarantine Mode, which was added in the July 28th patch of 2009.
