Combat Arms Beta Sounds and Pictures

During the beta phases of Combat Arms (sans Europe) the sounds that made up the game were very different. The voice commands, character models, character sounds, interface, direction - hey actually everything but the guns is different.

The character models were a lot thinner than what the male characters are today and also feature different uniform and gear.

The voice commands also differed from what is available today. The voice commands featured the commands "What the heck are you doing?!" and "You are so respectable!" as well as other people voicing them.
Most of them are survived from this video:




 The interface was also different and was more military themed than the shiny black UI we have now (more in an upcoming blog post).

The beta test also contained what we now know as Specialist weapons, mainly the flamethrower and airstrikes thrown as grenades. Take a view here:

Many players are nostalgic of this period of CA History and mostly remember the friendly community and lack of hacker paranoia that now plagues the game - all different for different people though!
