Combat Arms NA Home Page

The Combat Arms homepage was different to the current one we have today. It relied heavily on Flash, which in turn slowed the website down especially when bots scanned the page for signatures.
It also made navigation on laptops harder as Flash is very precise.

It also contained a separate page for the introduction which contained three trailers - Gameplay, CGI and Black Market trailers.

Above is a screenshot of the homepage, skinned with a Quarantine theme in the navigation bar.

Nexon also had bi-monthly polls in which they made decisions based on these results. For example, a question asked "If a permanent option was made available for your favorite weapon, would you: ..."  in which the answer "Purchase it and rest easy knowing you always had it at your disposal, but continue to try other interesting weapons." came first.
A few days later and the permanent NX standard duration came out, presumably because the option Purchase it and use it exclusively, no more trying out different guns for you!  was last.
However, the last poll they had revealed the lack of knowledge of the storyline as the correct answer came in last. It has now discontinued.

Blast from the Past
-- Hack protection has been increased.
-- The carry quantity for the M67 standard grenade has been reduced to one (1) for game balance.
