Why you might like it

  • A long-running free-to-play military MMOFPS with deep character and weapon customization, originally developed by Nexon and now published by VALOFE as Combat Arms: Reloaded and Combat Arms: Classic.
  • Confirmed actively maintained in 2026, with recent scheduled maintenance and content updates (as of August 2026) showing continued live-service support under current publisher VALOFE.
  • Available on Steam with a dedicated, if smaller, community — some players report having played continuously since the game's original beta, showing real staying power for a 2008-era MMOFPS.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game passed through a rocky publisher transition — Nexon ceased development and server operations in November 2017, with VALOFE taking over global service afterward — and player sentiment toward VALOFE's stewardship has been genuinely mixed, with some longtime players openly critical of changes since the handover.
  • Community feedback frequently cites lag, server stability issues, and heavier monetization (including complaints about pay-to-win gear) under the current publisher — go in with tempered expectations.
  • The game runs on an aging engine (LithTech, over two decades old at this point) — expect correspondingly dated graphics and technical rough edges compared to modern military shooters.
