Combat Arms Europe brings the first update of 2011

Today, Nexon continue their dedication to regular and excellent gaming updates for its free to play FPS game, Combat Arms Europe, with the introduction of two new in-game systems, the Achievement System and the Note System, and much more for the very first update of 2011.

The Achievement System allows each soldier to earn medals after accomplishing a number of various missions given in the battlefield. If you consider yourself as a Fireteam expert, you may get engaged with the enemies and foes to collect all the Fireteam Maniac medals. If you are well known as a well-balanced, stellar operative, you can prove it after being rigorously tested on all aspects of your training while you work on the All-Round Soldier achievements. With all the in-game achievements, soldiers can be classy and prideful about their Combat Arms accomplishments with many admirers following!

As another improvement in usability, the Note System allows players to compose notes, send them and receive them in their Incoming Notes box. This will be very welcomed for those who prefer old-fashioned email to get their point across Combat Arms.

Infamous for deadly weapons and gears, the Black Market also gets an update to its already vast range of arsenal. The TRG variants, TRG-41 and TRG-SE are now available and ready for snipers in combat. In addition, the Black Market will get Caltrops, a four spiked iron ball as a device to lame cavalry horses and puncture tires which will now be used against the mercenaries in Combat Arms. If you want to slow down your enemy, this is definitely what you want to bring to the battlefield.

“We are always excited to deliver new game contents and features that will help improving Combat Arms” said Sungjin Kim, the Director of Nexon Europe. “Nexon received more support from the fans than we expected last year and we intend to bring more satisfaction to our customers throughout the year 2011”

With all of these content and usability improvements this month, players can expect to be kept busy as they immerse themselves in one of the fastest growing games that NEXON Europe has to offer.

From today, Nexon, the premier free-to-play MMORPG publisher, are bringing a whole host of Christmas-related events to everyone’s favorite online game, and are aiming to provide a way to pass those long hours during the coming cold winter days. Even Santa himself would be jealous of all this festive fun that Nexon are granting players during the holiday season!

Merry Christmas for Mabinogi players!

Up until the 31st December, players can decorate their own Christmas tree in the town square of the beautiful city of Emain Macha, and build their own special Snowman in the northern region of Iria. For both of these events some crafting skills are required, but the reward for participating is definitely worth it. Players can obtain certain key words to be redeemed with the many ‘Santa’s Little Helpers’ spread throughout many of the towns of Erinn. In return, players will then have access to the Candy Cane melee weapon and the Deer Antlers for a new hat.

Until the 26th December, the GM’s of Nexon will be operating as Santa’s Little Helpers! Every gamer is encouraged to send their Christmas lists via the in-game mailing system and all will be accordingly rewarded with the things that they desire. Of course, not every wish can be answered, but if the player behaved well throughout the year and their wish is feasible, the GM’s will take care of everything. For a start everyone gets a white sheep for absolutely free! For all those looking for the animal card of the white sheep, here is your chance! Every player logging into the game on the 18th December will get this gift within a few days, no strings attached.

Besides all these in-game goodies, Nexon have of course also updated the shop with plenty of wonderful Christmas items. Until the 29th December players can obtain the limited-edition Christmas Character Card and the rare Rein Deer as a mount – fancy sleigh included! And as a little token of gratitude, Nexon will reduce all prices on top selling items from the shop throughout the entire Christmas season. So don’t miss out on checking the store between the 22nd and 29th December for getting all these festive discounts on the most player desired items of this year.

Combat Arms is on FIRE again!

Today, Nexon continue their dedication to regular and excellent gaming updates for its free to play FPS game, Combat Arms, with the introduction of the thrilling Fireteam mission “Desert Fox”. This time the threat is more imminent than ever! Leave behind killing zombies in an abandoned mine as back in “Black Lung”, “Desert Fox” pits Special Forces against foes of unseen malice and hostility! To counter this new threat, Central Command opens up their arsenal even further with plenty of new weaponry and a brand new mercenary, “Raven”. Furthermore, expect a whole host of Christmas-related items and events to be released very soon.

It’s getting even hotter!

Not only will the new desert environment keep players sweating, the new Fireteam mission “Desert Fox” puts Special Forces in charge of dealing with a terrorist menace threatening global security. Whilst en-route to investigate terrorist activity, the Fireteam uncover a plot with a pressing need to be dealt with immediately. The primary target is the ruthless leader of the terrorists, who must be captured alive at all costs in order to grant access to confidential data only he can access. Besides ensuring that the leader is captured alive, you can expect many grim fire fights in a labyrinthine city whilst on your way to destroying the primary threat, the terrorist controlled anti-aircraft artillery.

“Soldiers, be prepared! The fire is about to start burning!”

Bombs away!

As well as a full raft of new weapons, Central Command are providing a brand new mercenary for those players willing to take on “Desert Fox”. The newest addition to the already impressive selection of recruitable specialists in the game is now to be topped with the introduction of “Raven”, a female mercenary, who not only finds all men at her beck and call, but also has the AI helplessly lost when in her presence. “Raven” is an expert on all computer-related skills. There is no computer security system able to withstand her skills on the keyboard, and no terrorist that can stand her marksmanship with an automatic rifle.

Talking about weapons, Nexon will unlock several brand new firearms for the game. The M417 CQB, for perfect control and enhanced stopping power, the XM8, based on the German G36, for unmatched reliability, the Scorpion’s PP-19 MOD for more mobility in the battlefield, the Anaconda Gold revolver for everyone out for the “fancy kill” and the Tiger Strider blade for soldiers who like a more in your face approach to the game.

Santa lost his mind…

Santa has something for everyone – and this is no exception for Combat Arms players! To keep players head’s warm, there is the Shapka, a fur cap perfectly suited for cold weather, coming with some nice stat boosting attributes. Next on the Christmas list, Santa provides something for the “delicious kill” – The Candy Cane Club that looks like a candy stick, but proves to be an unmatched boom-stick. Furthermore, Frosty the Snowman is back in the game ensuring that players keep a cool head throughout those gritty shoot outs. Last but not least, Nexon releases the L96A1 Holiday Wolf, an upgraded version of the L96A1 Arctic Wolf sniper rifle. With this deadly beauty, peeking on presents gets a completely new twist…

And as a little gift, to ensure the Christmas mood begins even before the battle commences, Nexon will unlock a special Christmas carol for the lobby. From the 20th until the 31st of December, players can hum along to a nice Rock ‘n’ Roll version of the most popular of tunes whilst they are gearing up. Bulls-Eye!
