Looks interesting, worth a try at the price :)

My only concern is the unlocks via purchasing, the worry here is those with the deepest pockets get the biggest advantage. Which of course is good for old gits like us :cthulhu:

What I really really want is a good combat space sim...

Taken from the website


First, Combat Arms will never cost a penny to play. Period.

Second, we believe that in any first-person shooter, being able to use real money to buy an uber gun sucks. It makes the game dependant on money and not skill (thus defeating the purpose of Free-to-Play), and skill is what a first-person shooter is all about. No point in competing if some new guy has a mystical weapon with magic bullets that always seem to find your head.

Yeah I saw it said that on the site. But the problem with these pay for extras models is that the items you pay for must be attractive enough to be worth paying for.

That said I'll be downloading it for sure myself anyway.

Got it installed but got a connection error.
Upon further investigation i found on the forums that its only for US players for now.
However i found a link to this
