Operation: Dark ForestFor 7/1, you'll engage in the battle of
a lifetime in Dark Forest, the newest map in Combat Arms! Central
Command is also bringing you Rec Rules on the Papa Server, with the
exclusive Super Soldiers option, and dropping new supplies to help you:
new weapons, new gear, and an exclusive clan item. Good luck, brave
soldiers of Combat Arms...New Map: Dark ForestIt has become increasingly difficult to penetrate the city, so
enemies have gotten more creative. Satellites reveal that the terrorists
have installed a Missile Launcher in the forest surrounding the city.
To make matters worse, the terrorists have taken control of all the
trails into the forest, making it difficult to enter. The forest is so
thick, it is nearly impossible to tell our own allies apart, let alone
locate the enemy.
Mini Missions: Mini Missions are missions within missions, should you choose
to accept them! During any game, you may be issued a Mini-Mission from
Central Command. Complete these missions, and receive an extra bonus of
EXP and GP! You'll have to stay on your toes, because you never know
when you'll be called to the front lines. There are over 30 potential
missions that can be assigned to you, including the Rambo mission, the
Skull Hunter mission, the Blood Hunter mission, and the Infected Slayer
mission. There is no penalty if you do not complete the mission; however
the reward is worth the extra work.
Rec Rules Server:
Recreational
(Rec) Rules are a brand new set of playing rules, created to provide
you with the less rigorous, leisurely gameplay that even the most
focused soldier occasionally needs. Whether you're a soldier fresh from
the training grounds, or a veteran weary of the endless battle for
justice, the Papa Server and its Rec Rules welcome you.

- Open to all ranks
- Separate, Rec Rules-only stats
- All maps and modes from Clearance Level 2 available

Super Soldiers Option:
Recreation
(Rec) Rules is the newest playstyle to Combat Arms. It also offers the
newest exclusive game sub-mode, Super Soldiers. On the Rec Rules server,
players can select the Super Soldiers option for Elimination matches,
and One Man Army matches. In Super Soldiers, mysterious boxes
periodically drop all across the map, and players have 10 seconds to
pick them up. Each box contains a unique boost, which makes you better,
faster, or stronger. On the Rec Rules server, if you are not doing so
well, you will be granted a temporary damage bonus, regardless of
whether the Super Soldiers option is turned on.
