Combat Arms News (Sept 28-Feb 2)

  As I said before, I will be bringing you guys news and updates for Combat Arms.  This will be the very first installment of the CAFB News!

Funny how they have sharks in the background.  Click the image for a link to my review.

•  XM-8 IS BACK! First of all, some very recent news is that the XM-8 has come back out of preview!  There is a catch though, the permanent duration is only available for 2 weeks only as of today February 2nd.  I suggest reading my review and trying to pick this weapon up before buying it.

• Cramming for Exams Event Over Hopefully you heard about this event before this post and were able to get in 100 games between Jan 21st-Jan 31st.  If you did, congratulations you get 7 Grey Hisec keys, and 8 Black keys.  If you didn't hopefully you got at least 50, that would give you 7 Grey Hisec keys.  I have over 30 cases in my inbox and I wouldn't mind getting rid of a few of them haha.

• New Specialist Weapon: Caltrops The Caltrops, the new specialist weapon has been released.  It comes with a bonus 2 Slot License for free!  After watching some demonstrations of the weapon on youtube,  it seems the caltrops is a trap.  It is supposed to "cause severe bleeding and slow down your enemy".  From the video I saw, it looked like it didn't do very much damage, but i'll be you could stack them and combo them together.  Price- 2.9k nx 7 days, and 5.9k nx for 30 days.(2 slot license only with 30 days Caltrops)

Create A Map Contest This is one of the best events that I have seen Combat Arms.  Nexon is actually letting you submit an idea for a new map in Combat Arms!  This means that if your idea wins, you get not only your map in the game, but rewards!  Actually, that's not the only person that get rewards.  Every eligible participant gets a Kalika Case.  The 2 Semi Finalists get 50k nx, and the 3 finalists get 100k.  The top 3 finalists will have their idea put on the Combat Arms facebook page and will be voted on for the winner.  I looked at the forums at ideas being submitted, and I saw some really cool ones.  I think a map made to be a University would be pretty cool, but that's just my opinion.  What would be funny is map on the moon with mountains and low gravity and stuff. OMG DID I JUST GET A MIDAIR NUTSHOT??!!

In other news, I finally got my KDR to 1.00!  I've been around the .98-.99 the whole time I've played this game, so I feel so accomplished!  Also...THE PACKERS ARE GOING TO BEAT THE STEELERS IN THE SUPER BOWL! YEAH BUDDY! Sorry I didn't know my caps was on :)
