Sunday Comics: Dead Island Nexon America isn’t just for tweens looking to play cutesy, anime-inspired MMO titles anymore. Their online multiplayer shooter Combat Arms, launched in open beta form just this past July, now boasts over one million registered users. To celebrate, Nexon is releasing two new patches that add a new game mode and map to the action, along with new weapons and special event gear for Halloween. The new map, Waverider, takes place in a European hilltop town and will be the largest map in the game. The new game mode is called Bounty Hunter, and involves one player with a bounty on his head earning in-game money depending on how long he can escape from everyone else.
Remember the uproar that was stirred when folks thought that EA’s Battlefield: Bad Company would have weapons only available for purchase? For the few of you who actually liked the idea, Nexon presents Combat Arms, their first multiplayer online FPS. Along with a hearty selection of free weapons, Nexon allows players to purchase new weapons adn equipment from their online store, tricking out their character to their hearts’ and wallets’ content.
You can head over to the official website to download the game for free and check out the tons of new content Nexon has added in honour of today’s official launch, including new weapons, a new map, and the addition of a new game mode, Capture the Flag. Wait, they’ve only just added Capture the Flag? This should be entertaining.

Nexon America, publisher of MapleStory, KartRider and Mabinogi, announced it’ll launch a free online FPS called Combat Arms, slated to release later this summer.
The company touted the game’s “highly customisable” aspect, from the look of characters to the guns and equipment. Match wins are rewarded with in-game currency in addition to XP, both of which allow players more customisation options. Nexon also said the game weighs the community aspect heavily, with a clan focus and some social network-style features.
Though there’s no specific release date confirmed, the closed beta begins May 30th, so if you’re interested you can try your luck; full release follows the jump.
