It's not easy building a multiplayer first-person shooter about modern combat that will go up against the Counter-Strikes and Call of Duty 4s of North America, but Nexon hopes that its upcoming free-to-play Combat Arms will strike a chord with virtual infantrymen everywhere. This is a game that blends the squad combat of Counter-Strike and blends it with a light amount of the persistence found in MMOs.
