If you’re like majority of mankind, anything with a prefix of “free” attached to it becomes absolutely irresistible, especially in this day and age when nothing is given away without charge. This is the reason why Combat Arms, a free online FPS, has a lot going for it.
Forget the fact that free games are usually looked down upon since they’re not very good. Anyways, Joystiq said Combat Arms is “good,” so it must be, right? Because of this commendation, I knew I had to try the game.

I’ve read the news about Counter-Strike Online, but I’ve never really seen it in action until today. Want to know how it looks? I’ve embedded the video but don’t expect to be surprised. After all, you’ve seen Counter-Strike before.
