One of the best things in Combat Arms in the possibility to tinker with lots of weapons and gear. The shop in the game has the ingenious preview feature. Preview makes it possible for the player to see how a certain equipment would look like on his character. No doubt this helps increase the sales. If I am too tired to play but have a few extra minutes I play around a lot with the preview, just examining how certain piece of equipment would look like. This is what I did now. As you may have already noticed, I am obsessed with sniping, therefore here are my sniper gear outfits.
Before getting deep into the topic I would like to note how the camouflage in Combat Arms works. Frankly said there is no real camouflage possibility in Combat Arms. These accessories are mostly cosmetic from the looks point of view. The only thing one has to take care of, is not to choose items which stand out very much from the environment, like taking arctic camo to a jungle map game. Other than that anything else works nearly the same. In certain situations camo may give one or a split second advantage but not necessarily. On the other hand a well chosen outfit does increase the immersion of the player and the other room mates considerably, and this adds quite a lot to the gaming experience.
I did my best to camouflage the entire body. this is why I chose the Hammer face guard, not for the small head-shot protection, but for a bit of camouflage for the face. Some items shift to the pattern and colors of the chosen uniform others don't. I always used the ones that do. Wherever I could I used GP items.
Arctic operations sniper Head: Combat beanie Face: Hammer face guard Vest: Balanced Uniform: Arctic camo Weapon: Arctic Wolf (No GP sniper with arctic camo is available) Notes: Sniper for snow environment warm gear, all white. | |
Desert operations sniper Head:Military bandana Face: Hammer face guard Vest: Balanced Uniform: Desert camo Weapon: M-200 Notes: Sniper for desert environment. I chose the balanced west because it has the best brown color. If I had to choose the best all-around camo outfit in Combat Arms this would be my choice. No wonder real snipers have brownish ghillie suits. | |
