Milestone celebrated with debut of new map and game mode introduced for the first time to an FPS.
Nexon America Inc. announced that Combat Arms, its new online multiplayer first-person shooter game, surpassed one million registered users since its open beta launch in July. Combat Arms was commercially launched on October 1 with the addition of the highly anticipated "Black Market," the in-game item shop that allows users to spend real money to further customize their characters.
To commemorate this milestone, Nexon will unveil two patches including a new map and game mode that will offer a variety of game play options for users to fully experience the dynamic world of multiplayer online first-person shooters. The new map, "Waverider," which is set in a European hilltop town, will be the game's largest map. Waverider will be complemented by the addition of new weapons, two supply cases, special event gear and a new male mercenary for Halloween.
In addition, Nexon will introduce a new hide-and-seek game mode, "Bounty Hunter," which has never been introduced to a FPS-genre game. The new mode enables one player to randomly become the "bounty," who will be the target hunted by other players. The longer the bounty stays alive, the more in-game currency that player will earn.
Combat Arms features personalized characters, various combat modes, maps, and weapons. In addition, Combat Arms offers a high level of socialization with Web 2.0 community tools for users with buddy lists, integrated clan systems in-game and on the web, and an in-game messenger system. This mix of elements ignites a revolutionary FPS experience: a dynamic, evolving game that encourages both friendly competition and friendship among its players.
