Now this is a cool concept. Today, the free-to-play Combat Arms by Nexon is commemorating the anniversary of the “Storming of Bastille” which was a major turning point in the French Revolution fought some 200 years ago.
“On this day in 1789, the Storming of Bastille took place as revolutionaries stormed the medieval fortress and prison in Bastille. Fighting for the ‘people’, armed demonstrators set fire to the streets and stormed the fortress. In keeping with this theme Combat Arms Europe kicks off the first of the French Revolution events with ‘Capture the flag’ mode. Firstly players will have to secure the flag before fighting enemies to grasp possession. Once defeated and captured, users will earn unique in-game rewards.”
It’s pretty rare that you learn something from playing a video game, especially something this cool. In addition to this, the French rifle – FAMAS G2 – is being sold at discounted rate, along with a discount on all explosives sold in the black market.
Along with this sweet update, Combat Arms has also just released its Dark Forest map pack complete with additional mini missions with the chance to earn extra XP and GP.
Lastly, every weekend in July is extra XP/GP days! Another reason to check out all the team at Nexon has geared up for the memorable European holiday.
