Bounty Hunter

The predecessor to Spy Hunt, the Bounty Hunter mode was planned for release sometime around October 2008. However, due to complications it was delayed and eventually scrapped in favor of what we now know as Spy Hunt.

M67 Frag Grenades

Once upon a time every soldier was issued with two default grenades. This came with advantages and disadvantages. Firstly, most of the maps were small so it was easy to randomly throw one grenade in the air and keep one for strategic purposes.

Wanted: New Topics!

Have you ever gone "Ooh, I remember a time when..."? I did, and I decided to create this blog.

However, I would like to be reminded or made aware of other events / topics in Combat Arms' history that I may have forgotten (ie, haven't featured in the blog yet).

It may be the case that I have covered all the major aspects so far in CA's lifetime but it's always good to get another opinion.

I've created a forum thread about the blog here: http://forum.nexon.net/CombatArms/forums/thread/5242854.aspx

Thanks!

In Combat Arms though, it has another use...

Supply Cases

Supply Cases are special cases that contain a specific type of item, in varying duration. They are a gamble item, as you never know what you're going to get and for how long (just like a box of chocolates!). Open it up for GP or NX and get a randomised item from a specified list.

Nowadays there aren't many supply cases but there used to be supply cases for each type of weapon...

Turrets, oh Turrets.

The weapon with in-built wall hacker and aimbotter has recently been nerfed so that now it acts as a support weapon as it should - and not the main source of kills for a specialist.
