I’m going out on a limb here and going to say that the reason I was not able to connect to Combat Arms update server the other day is because they were updating it.  Today when I logged in there was a HUGE patch that was installed, in fact I think it took longer to download and install than the initial game.  Maybe just because so many people were updating after not being able to play Combat Arms for a little while.

The hacking problem seemed to be better last night, but you never know only time will tell that one.  I still never have understood it but there seem to be those people out there that are outright determined to make gameplay no fun.  Maybe because gameplay is no fun for them because they are teh suckzorz.

Much has been added to the game whether the hacking problem has been taken care of or not.  They’ve finally added in some other Melee items, which makes Melee servers more fun… rather than just running around knifing people you can either get another tactical knife (which I assume is better) or even a machete!  Now that’s what I call a knife round

So I was trying to get on Combat Arms, because I’ve not been on there for some time, and don’t want all my weapons to get completely taken out of my arsenal before I run out of money… yeah, didn’t work out so well.  I don’t know if they are performing maintenance right now, or what (since I’ve not been in for over a week haven’t seen any releases of updates or anything) but I couldn’t connect to the update server so now the game won’t even start for me.

Combat Arms was a fun game while it lasted, but I am thinking it’s just about dead to me.  I loved the carreer money vs. money per round like in CS:S, and gameplay was fun… it’s just once the hackers started piling in the game really lost it’s appeal.  It got to the point to where you just couldn’t play anything other than games where you constantly respawn because all the other more challenging game types would be full of hackers.  Not like, kind of sort of possibly using AIM Bots kind of script kiddies, but the really obvious and annoying script kiddies that would have speed increases, AIM Bots, no-gravity jumping, auto-fire, and invulnerability… I don’t even see how the game is fun for them.  Oh yay I got a huge kill score and haven’t killed a single person yet!  Just don’t see the appeal of it… who cares if you’ve got lots of money if you didn’t earn a dime of it?
