Let's discuss the new content for the patch, shall we?
Patch Notes from Combat Arms
This is what they call Operation Roadkill. It's a map basically for elimination and all that kind of stuff. Very straight forward, perfect for snipers. For this mode however, there is an event in which you have to use your sniper rifle to kill hostiles and rack up kills for special items. Here's the link to that event: RoadKill Event
Next up is the new Specialist:
Codename: HAWK
He has a balanced vest protection, Speed +13%, and Headshot Protection 35%. Overall, he looks like a rather decent specialist to use and his scar is kickass to say the least. It's opened to those who are 1LT II in the GP Market.
Vivox voice chat is up. Controversy of it to crash the game several times have been issued in different forums for the past couple of days. Personally, I'll enjoy it for the following reasons:
1) I could communicate with my clan without having to type.
2) I REALLY want to hear the kids getting extremely mad in this game. Knowing that this game is oriented with young teenagers, this will be perfect.
Semi Auto Sniper Rifle that has the power of a L9. Holy Shit!

For The GP Items, use the same link: ^^
My thoughts on these two categories:
NX: Overall, they added the new M107CQ variants to the Nx store. They even brought the UMP45, which looks like a modded version of the regular UMP. The air strike designator reminds me of the M32 Incendiary Grenade Launcher. Just a huge stack of smoke around the area. The Cyclops Bandana makes it the fastest hat that you could wear in-game, making the highest speed capped at +17, if your wearing a light vest. Overall, nothing special in particular.
GP: Most of the items are capped for 1LT or Captains, which is great to say the least. It's more of a strive to get to those levels. M107CQ was added, however only usable for Captain I. This weapon is supposively having a 100+ damage shot each round, due to it's bigger round size of that of the L9. This is an amazing competitor only because it's a semi auto and yet it's as strong as a L9. The variant Air Force version of this sniper rifle was added to the Supply Case SR. Codename Hawk, which is the new specialist, is only available for 1LT II. The Napalm Air strike is only available as Captain I.
