Sand Hog Concept Art

I've featured the concept art of the other maps, so I might as well make it complete and post that Nexon has posted the Sand Hog concept art on their Facebook.

I'm a month late, but "better late than never", as inspired by Nexon.

Combat Arms Merchandise (Last Updated 30/09/10)

Although Nexon does not have an official store to purchase merchandise from, they have many items given out as prizes from various competitions over the years. From figurines to lighters they are suitable for all ages.

This blog post will go through the Combat Arms merchandise awarded as prizes.

Suggestions Suggested By Customers

It may seem that Nexon doesn't listen or doesn't care about their customers and rightly so. While their ticketing system is at times abysmal and some of their decisions are misguided, it is not completely true that Nexon ignores the bad things that plague the game.

Proof of this is shown by the following list which lists (as lists usually do) the suggestions read by, considered by, drafted by, designed by, programmed by, and implemented by Nexon from their forums.

Spectator Mode

It is known to all players that users can be banned for "Ingame GM Action". What this means that the player was banned on-the-spot by a spectating Game Master. Their judgement isn't always correct, with the Nexon forums having posts of "unfair" bannings being common... ColDroop but GMs are only human and they work for Nexon.

Onto the title though, have you ever wondered what it looks like?

Combat Arms: The Musical

On April 1st 2010 Nexon announced their newest pursuit. Once a company known for its RPGs, then FPSes and now their first theatrical performance Combat Arms: The Musical.

Tickets will be on advance sale to select Combat Arms users, as well as those who have a VIP Off-Broadway Association Membership, starting Mid-April, and go on sale on July 10th to the general public.

The YouTube Machinima Contest

The YouTube Machinima Contest first opened to the public on September 3rd 2009. Machinima, (derived from machine and cinema) is filmmaking created through the real-time recording of computer games, virtual worlds or any already-existing 3D digital environment or virtual world - in this case, Combat Arms.

The Twist: Combat Arms Command has provided the beginning and the end of the story for you. It is up to you to figure out how the story transpires from beginning to end.

The Public Perception

Nexon's marketing is without-a-doubt very effective. Over 4 million accounts and growing, Combat Arms does not seem like its population will go backwards anytime soon. However, one of the more powerful marketing tactics is free - word-of-mouth. The Java Gaming Experts practically created the second most subscribed MMORPG out of this tactic.
