I Made a Clan!

I decided to make a clan after my last clan got totally demolished.  The clan I made is called BlackGround (clever, I know).  I don't have a clan emblem yet, but if someone would be kind enough to gift me one, I would be so grateful.  Anyways, what I mostly wanted to say was... YOU SHOULD JOIN!  If you are in need of a clan, or you want to be with me, apply!  I'll try to accept all applications because I want this clan to get big.

                   This will be great!

M1866 Review


Stats
Damage       95
Portablility   45
ROF           35
Accuracy   100
Recoil          66
Lever-Action

Description- A modern version of the classic rifle from the 1860's, considered to be the gun that won the West.  Up to 8 shot's can be loaded, and it has a scope to improve accuracy.

    There is currently an even going on that allows you to get the M1866 sniper (if you're wondering) for free.  All you have to do is get 100 kills(with any weapon) on the following maps.
  • Kill Creek
  • Costa Recon
  • Roadkill
  • Snow Valley
  • Ghost Town
    Doing this, is actually really easy,  and you can get this gun five times if you get 100 kills on each of these maps.  I already got two of them in about an hour.  I'm not sure if you can get it more than once on a map.
  
    Now to the review!  The M1866 looks amazingly good stat wise.  I believe it has the highest damage out of all 100 accuracy snipers at 95.  Most times, it will be a two hit kill.  But it will often be a 1 shot kill in the back, or if they are damaged even a little bit.  The damage is definitely nothing to worry about on this gun.
    Next is portability, it's one of the fastest you can get on a sniper at 35.  Sniper wise, it's like an SMG, but it's a little heavy gun wise.  You probably don't want to be running around with it that much, or any sniper in general.
    The Rate of Fire is definitely one of the best parts about this gun.  It is a 35 and basically shoots as fast as you can click.  It's like a shotgun.  You might be thinking that this gun is perfect for close quarters.  Well, it can be...if they're a foot in front of you.  Then you can spam away and almost be guaranteed a kill.  I tried taking this into a snipers only game on Junk Flea.  It didn't work out to well.  Also, the reloading is also very unique for a sniper, it reloads like shotgun, so you are able to shoot mid reload.  That was very useful in the Snipers only game because I was constantly reloading and shooting.  It was awesome.
    Accuracy is 100.  You pretty much now what you're getting there.  Something that definitely helps out the accuracy is the scope it comes with.  It is very different from the other sniper scopes you might see.  It's pretty much a really magnified ACOG.  It's a tiny red dot sight that is perfect for headshots.  I don't know if it's just me, but it seems that the scope is a little more sensitive than most other sniper scopes.  It's probably just because it's pretty magnified.
    Recoil is 66.  I wouldn't worry about it on any bolt action snipers.  It's not even that bad though.

    Overall, this gun is a lot of fun to use because of how different it is compared to all the other snipers.  It's sort of like a sniper/shotgun hybrid.  It's a pretty deadly gun and I would definitely recommend it.

Hackers, Could They Be Gone?

WORTHLESS?
  
Hello guys, today I wanted to talk about hackers.  I know, I know, I hate them too.  And I used to think it was crazy how Nexon could allow so many people to abuse their game.  But these past few days after Nexon announced they would be taking action, I have yet to see a single hacker. I know what you're thinking, "could this be the end?".  I think no, but I believe there will be a lot less and shorter living hackers.  I mean, you couldn't completely get rid of them.  If people can hack into the Nation Government, i'm pretty sure they could hack Combat Arms.  But that's not the point here, the point is, you won't be seeing them as often, and that's all that really matters.  That's all I really care about.  I don't know, have you seen any obvious hackers lately? If you have, tell me so I can see if what i'm talking about is really true.

New Map: Costa Recon

Sitrep: The insurgent forces are tipped off that their supply outpost, OP Slaven 152, is in danger, and decide their supplies must be relocated. Unfortunately, the military detects their relocation efforts. Now the insurgents must secure their supplies by either blowing them up or moving them before the imminent military raid.

I know Costa Recon has been out for a while now, but I would like to give you my thoughts on the newest map. We haven't seen a tropical map in a while. The last couple have been Urban.  But Costa Recon is probably the most tropical in Combat Arms, besides Dark Forest or that one map with a plane haha.  Anyways, I really like this map.  Especially for sniping.  It's perfect for sniping across the map.  If you get on one of the roofs, you can easily get about 10 kills in one life.
There is basically two parts to this map, the beach, and the warehouses and buildings.  The beach is great for getting sniped.  Anyone running along the beach is almost guaranteed to get sniped.  It sure has happened to me a lot.  Also, if you can make it through the beach, it is the fastest way to get to the other team's base, but it's not really likely unless you have no snipers allowed.  The buildings is a slower, but safer way to get through the map, but watch out for snipers on the roof.  On top of the warehouses is a great place to snipe because you are able to see people running through the buildings and the beach.  You are also able to duck down quick if you are being shot at.
I think this map is great for CTF because of it's size and shape, but that's just my opinion.  This is a map that is actually a lot of fun to play on.  But I really do recommend a sniper, or a gun with a scope such as the G36E for the counter snipers.  That's about all I can say about it.  And if my computer didn't suck so much, I would be able to record a video and commentary on it, but it get's way too laggy

Sad Face

 I'm back and I'm sorry.  I haven't had a post in a while, and I really feel bad about it.  These past few weeks have been pretty hectic for me with basketball and school.  BUT!  I AM BACK!

I'd like to talk about what's been going down in Combat Arms recently...

Now, you can buy the Shapka and Tiger Strider in the shop!  Isn't that exciting?  Also, if you buy now, you get free GP!  Exactly how much depends on how long you buy these items for... The Shapka comes in 30 day and 90 day lengths.  If you get it for 30 days, it's a 1,000 free GP, 90 days is 3k GP. The Tiger Strider only comes in the length of 90 days and 3k bonus GP.  So go out and buy your Russian Beanie hat and Boomerang now!

Nexon comes out with a "Zero Tolerance Hack Policy".  What this basically means is, everyone's accounts have been totally wiped out and deleted, regardless if you are a hacker or not...I'm just joking you!  What it actually means is Nexon finally realized how many hackers there are in Combat Arms and how much of a problem it is.  This means there will be "Large scale punitive(whatever that means) actions being taken on a regular basis, including permanent bans".  Lots of big words in there haha.  I hope to never see another hacker again!

My Clan is almost a level 3!  If you don't know about my clan, it's called .NikE  Me and my friends started it and it's pretty awesome.  You should go apply for it now if you want to be cool like me(because i'm cool).

Compensation for the Downtime on 2/21!  Nexon is practically rewarding people for making Combat Arms better.  If you didn't know, there was a two hour maintenance fix thing on the 21st.  All guns that were active that day are now extended for 24 hours during the next maintenance.  Hooray!  There will also be 2x EXP and GP on Saturday from 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm PST!
