CONTENT UPDATE 9/22

[[MPGH]AVGN]

Dear Players,

We will be performing a routine maintenance on all game servers on September 21st, as well as our monthly content update. During this period, Combat Arms will be unavailable. Game maintenance will last approximately 7 hours.

Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvenience.

-Time-
Pacific: 10:00 PM ~ 5:00 AM, Tuesday, September 21st, 2010
Eastern: 1:00 AM ~ 8:00 AM, Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010

-What-

·Combat Arms will be unavailable


Operation: Seize and Secure

On 9/22, you'll defend your honor in Seize and Secure, the newest mission in Combat Arms. Central Command is providing new weapons, but you'll have to use your brains and your brawn to survive this terrifying battle. Good luck, brave soldiers of Combat Arms...but we're hoping you won't need it.


* New Mission: Seize and Secure

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to activate the flag trigger of the flagpole in the middle of the map, and raise your team’s flag to the top.

To win:

You must keep your flag raised on the flagpole for two consecutive minutes, and defend it from hostile takeover from the other team. If the other team manages to seize the flagpole and raise their flag, they must defend it for two consecutive minutes. Whichever team successfully secures their flag for two consecutive minutes on the flagpole wins. In case of a stalemate, read on...

To get points:

Every second each team has their flag raised contributes to their total points. If at the end of the match neither team has successfully defended the point for two minutes, the team holding the flagpole is awarded 50 bonus points, and the team with the most points wins.

New NX Items:



TPG-1 Pro



M14EBR, available in the Supply Crate MYST-N



** New GP Item:


TPG-1, available at Command Sergeant Major III


***New Clan Item:


Survival Machete, available at Battalion (Clan Level 4)


****New Feature:

GP Item Gifting - Are you feeling generous? For the month of October, you can gift your friends GP items!
