Oh boy. How did this abomination even get through Steam?

I started playing CA since 2010 and I can assure you that I cannot recommend this game to anyone who has never played or heard of CA before in this current state.

- Pay-to-win. I have seen many players bunny hopping around with paid guns and speed vests that makes them almost invincible and as fast as lightning. Want to use them? Pay Valofe with real money to buy them.... ON A DEAD GAME.

- Hackers. Normally this was a game that I'd play in a long time just to relive some nostalgia, but no longer is that the case. I once hopped into a random room to witness a hacker on the enemy team using one position kill hacks, telekill, etc., making it unplayable. And what does Valofe do with hackers? Nothing about it.

- Toxic community. It's 2020 and people are still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about the legit players that killed them. The melee community is even worse, don't even get me started with that.

- Anyone can use specialist weapons/equipment. Back in the OG era, you needed a specialist character to be able to use spec weapons/equipment because normal mercenary characters could not use them. Sadly, anyone can use them now, regardless if they have a spec character or not. I have seen the enemy team and my team plant multiple turrets on corners where it may be super annoying. Next thing I know, I find myself hurt or killed by turrets at close combat.

- Lack of server channels and rooms. There used to be so much channels back in the day, some having certain restrictions like rank, kill/death ratio, etc. Now there's like only 3-4 channels last time I checked (this is before the Steam release). And good lord.... the majority of the room matches are almost Oil Rig all the time, when I can't even find something else...


Just save yourself time from this pleb trash. Install the game and have the game running for at least 5 minutes. Make a negative review and uninstall.

I recently watched Royko's recent video about that. A damn shame that this V-named company is continuing to milk the dead game. I sometimes think about playing it with online friends, but after reading what you typed is indeed true, this is a definite skip for me.

funny thing is for me personally is the last straw that caused me to unistall is the fact when I found out 50%+ speed is an actual thing and not hacks with p2w harlequin(and another character i forgot) and gear thanks to valofe. Due to the games netcode and hit reg never being that good to begin with( even in nexon days) anything above 35%+ speed should not be a thing EVER( at least with out major drawbacks in protection)

@tofu delivery

Yes I have.


@SPL1TZ

Well at least that's a word to describe Valofe's CA.

Yeah I remember Closed Beta. My PC was a potato and I had 200 ping. But I stuck it out till the servers shut down. 28 headshots was my record for a match and for a while 34% of my kills were HS. I got so sick of seeing 8 out of 10 rooms being Oil Rig though. Preferred Kill Creek.

It should already be stupid to dub this game as "classic", which is an insult to CA veteran players who have played the OG CA, not this awful dumpster fire.

Thought you just selected your loadout in the very first version of combat arms...I mean its stupid to hash this as classic anyway
