Billions of virtual soldiers KIA, millions of nutshots inflicted
Combat Arms is celebrating its first anniversary this month with two million registered users.
So in the spirit of things, Nexon America has released some interesting figures about the game and its community. Here's what's been happening since the game launched last July:
· Over 3.2 billion soldiers have been killed in action.
· Over 517 million of those casualties were caused by headshots
· 27 million Nutshots have been inflicted since April Fool’s Day 2009.
· Over one million games played per day since launching last July.
· Over 154 million terrorists have been eliminated since Fireteam Mode was released at the end of May 2009.
· Over 35 million flags have been captured.
· Over 4 million bombs have been planted of which 3 million have exploded.
· Over 180,000 clans have been created.
· Soldiers have earned over 25 billion EXP. If one player had this much experience, he or she would have earned the game’s top rank, General of the Army, over 3000 times.
· Soldiers have earned 66 billion GP, which is enough to buy every weapon and piece of gear from the shop to last many lifetimes.
Also since July 2008, Combat Arms has received a number of updates, with 10 new maps, four new game modes, over a dozen new characters, and more than 100 weapons and gear. The community has already received over 30 special items like clan emblems, customized reticles, bonus passes and default weapon changes. The changes go on and on.
So what does Nexon have planned for Combat Arms players? Bonus play! During every weekend in July, players can receive bonus EXP and GP. There's also a photo contest going on, grand prize being a limited edition "Nutshot" t-shirts and GP. More information is available via the official website.
