[[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.

Like many recent first-person shooters, [[Combat Arms]] consists of game modes such as Team Deathmatch (known as Elmination) 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.)

=== This game provides examples of: ===


* [[All There in the Manual]]: There's little by way of ingame 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]].

* [[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.

* [[Fackler Scale of FPS Realism]]: Zig-zags between Classic and Realistic. Matters of accuracy, sprinting, and weapon carrying capacity stay mostly realistic, but balance always comes first, leading to the ability to take a rocket launcher to the face [[Made of Iron|and keep going]].
