Yea, I like playing Combat Arms, among other FPS games like COD, F.E.A.R., Battlefield, just to name a few.
Sometimes, I’m not not that good. SO, with the help of MMp1Punisher (AWESOME EDITING JOB!!!), and Beejles, both from the Hired Mercs Inc. clan, we put together a little montage. Not the usual sort of montage people upload to youtube of how AWESOME they are (they must all have teeny weenies or something), but this one is of me dying. Again and again. Yay.

As with every PC Game, the manufacturer will post minimum and recommended specs for the game. Nexon is no different with Combat Arms. Taken from their support page, they list:

HARD DISK SPACE

I’m not sure where they got those specs from. From my experience, the minimum they list might run the game if you had the patience of a saint and didn’t mind dying a lot. The recommended might be ok if you only plan on playing a 1 v 1 game.
My previous laptop had a dual core processor, 4 gigs of DDR2 ram, and an Intel 4500M video processor that was capable of high end visuals, shaders 3.0, the works. And it played Combat Arms just fine, that is, until I got into a group of people shooting. Then it just chugged right down. I got killed because of chop more times than I care to remember.
The video card is the choking point. My home tower with it’s single core processor, 3 gigs of ram, and a 256mb 7600GT video card played the game WAY better than the laptop. Sure, the laptop had more ram, a much faster processor and windows 7 vs windows XP, but it was the better video card with it’s own ram that made the difference.
So if you have a relatively new computer with a decent amount of RAM and Combat arms is chugging, take a look at your video card. That’s almost always the reason, and upgrading it will almost always give you a much better gameplay experience.
