While entrepreneurial companies are unloading new online localizations, many pretty titles they manage to act. For example, Combat Arms. It was played with four million Americans and Europeans, but she has been avoiding Russian -speaking players for the fifth year. Of course, English is not such a serious obstacle; Many of our fellow countrymen have long and long have settled on the European server. Nevertheless … However, this summer and to Combat Arms reached – Russian servers will start in July.
Fresh tradition ..
COMBAT ARMS is an ideological heir to Counter-Strike with new pumping: we purchase weapons, equipment and equip the character for our play style. This initially repels many veterans “CONTRA”, because for them the main thing is not some kind of pumping, but a sacramental “skill” and a hand stuffed in thousands of network races. However, the same World of Tanks proved that such a scheme has the right to life – if not for “pro”, so at least for amateur entertainment. But even taking into account the "role" element, Combat Arms is a very old -fashioned game. There is neither the third Cryengine, nor QTE, nor Hollywood plot. Only meat tactical shootings.
[[Bullet]] at great distance it is better to aim. Without this it will turn out more than noise than good.
The developers rely on the scope. There are about three hundred trunks alone. Everyone can be modified to their liking: screw the sight, increase the clip, screw up the muffler. There is still a whole tuning salon Gun Emporium. With the help of prizes, the owner of the tambourine office can increase, for example, the damage caused by weapons, or its accuracy. Even the same tambourine from ordinary weapons specimens can be built something more interesting-a rifle of the time of the North American War for Independence, a Revolver from the Wild West or a Mart of Thompson.
Lead rain
Of course, you spend most of the time in Combat Arms not in the store, looking for a more serious machine gun, but on the battlefield. It is not the content and terror who are fighting here, but the abstract detachment "Alfa" and the squad "Bravo". Dynamics-higher than average, far, but noticeably faster than Counter-Strike.
Investing real money in Combat Arms does not put paying players much higher than those who prefer to play for free. Say, a helmet bought for real money will protect the head for symbolic five percent better than mined in battle. Some things increase the experience and money accrued for the battle – it turns out the classic accelerating "premium". It occurs occasionally that shooting skills play an incorrect role: if you find themselves on a server with high -level opponents, dressed in the last store fashion, even the workshops may not save.
[[Bullet]] And now this hibar will storm the infected. The atmosphere of the horror film creates very reliable, especially when the fat -eared zombies penetrate the house and begin to drive players in all corners.
Therefore, to play with any opponents, you have to constantly pump. Levels in Combat ARMS are titles from Salagi to Army General; extra stars in uniform open access to a new equipment and.
Feast of strict regime
The main feature of Combat Arms, which distinguishes the game from many other clones, are in detail worked out levels. Local locations are replete with passages, crossings and barely noticeable secret paths. For the first time being at the level, you can not even understand Yeti Win sister sites who kills you and where. Having spent a little time, you are mastering, and then pure tactics begins – who knows the location better, who came up with a more interesting way to bypass the enemy, who better succeeded.
Despite the fact that Combat Arms is a dynamic game, in different modes the speed of gameplay changes significantly. The most popular regime is Elimination, disassembling two teams in order to gain a certain number of frags. Dying here very quickly, but after three seconds they are again in the ranks. Elimination Pro, on the contrary, is not so fast: there is no revival at all, the task is to destroy all enemies and survive yourself; It is logical that no one is in a hurry to get out of the shelter and discover himself.
[Bullet]] It is better to die without a grenade than with a grenade – which means that you need to throw it as soon as possible.
The next place in popularity among players is the laying and disposal of the bomb, the Contrav classic. There is also a capture of a flag with variations like "capture and retention". There are completely crazy regimes – for example, battles with a zombie: two fighters mutate in monsters, and special forces who have preserved appearance must destroy them. The mutants fight the hand -to -hand, but their blows are infectious, which received a side of the ghoul from the zombie.
But more interesting than others, in our opinion, a spy hunt was obtained. Cases with intelligence are hidden on the map, players need to collect them. Having appropriated the suitcase, the fighter immediately turns into a spy – a universal enemy. There are only four suitcases, respectively, the same number of spies can be worn in level. If one of them manages to assemble all the cases, it will become a supergpio – an enemy armored from ears to heel with a machine gun, flamethrower and a rocket launcher. Now he is alone against all. To win, he needs to get to the transmitter and transfer information to the customer … or just kill all recent allies, the benefit of weapons allows.
[[Bullet]] with a rocket launcher to live more fun, if you do not try to shoot someone point-blank.
In addition to the main goals of each regime, we are regularly given simple tasks that would be nice to complete: to make a spectacular genocide, to kill a certain number of opponents from a certain barrel, to sequentially destroy specific players ..
Finally, if you are tired of competing, you can run through simple cooperative missions. Local bots after angry living players are like children, but for beginners or just for relaxation from difficult fights and they will fit.
We deliberately do not compare Combat Arms with recent Warface. The game Crytek nevertheless appeared in a completely different era-it looks different, it is played in a completely different way, there are still many bugs in it, from which you have to get rid of long-long grinding months. And Combat Arms has been tested by time: the community of the game has long happened, the ideological base has settled down. Ca is conservative, but this is what is good. Just like Tribes: Asceend recently attracted many Unreal Tournament lovers, and Combat Arms risks re-captivating those who once played in Counter-Strike.
