- Combat Arms Europe Command -



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Patch Notes for the 26.01.2012 update follows below:



New Map* NEMEXIS HQ (Fireteam Exclusive)

- The battle for victory sends you into battle against many foes, but no one has dogged our
footsteps more than the vicious Nemexis Corporation. Nemexis has committed atrocities
beyond your worst nightmares, and their reign of terror must end. Enter Nemexis HQ and
try to eradicate Nemexis once and for all!



New Feature* Quick Start - Create your own personal battle route! Are you a Fireteam junkie? Can’t get enough of
Quarantine? Love Junk Flea? You’re going to love the new Combat Arms Quick Start feature.
Quick Start lets you quickly find matches with just the click of a button.


- By selecting High, Low or None for Rank, KDR, EXP or GP rate, your search will give a priority
for those servers. Want to avoid playing with the best? Select “Low” for Rank and your
search will avoid Victor! Want to max out your EXP? Select “High” for EXP Rate, and your
search will go through Platinum, Delta, and Victor before even looking at Alpha!

- Additionally, you can search for any map and game mode available in Combat Arms. Have a
hankering for some Dark Forest Seize and Secure action? Your ideal match is just one click
away!

- Give it a whirl and let us know what you think. Quick Start will be improved over the coming
months, so we want to know how to make it even more useful to you!



New Abilities - Taking on Nemexis is no easy feat. You’re going to need that extra edge, and R&D has come
through with some powerful abilities to aid you in the fight! Only catch is, these abilities are
too powerful to be stored in one Ability Slot, and you’re not getting these for free, either.
These Abilities can only be received by completing Daily Jobs, so get a move on!

* Parting Gift:

- With this ability equipped, you will drop a small grenade at your feet when you’re taken down.
It’s not as powerful as the M67 Frag Grenade, but it’ll finish your foe off easily enough!
- Note: Requires two open ability slots to equip. Does not function in Quarantine Regen or any
match where explosives are restricted.


* Spoils of War:

- Nothing wrong with a little plunder! Take any weapon that some foolhardy soldier has dropped
and turn it into some quick GP. Be careful, though, you’re going to be a sitting duck when this is
going on.

- Note: 10 GP per weapon, can only be used 10 times per match. Requires two open ability slots
to equip.


* Opportunist:

- Don’t like the gun your foe dropped, but you know he’s got something better stashed away?
This Ability will open up a dead player’s backpack and drop one of the weapons stored there!
You have 10 seconds to pick it up before it becomes fair game, so no time to dally!

- Note: Requires two open ability slots to equip.

* Relentless:

- Death just got a lot cheaper. Having this ability equipped will decrease your respawn time,
getting you back in the fight even faster!

- Note: Does not function in Elim Pro, Search and Destroy, Fireteam, Quarantine Regen or
Last Man Standing. Requires three open ability slots to equip.



New Weapons* Rare & Epic - Deckland's F2000 Tactical
-- While the F2000 Tactical is no slouch on the battlefield, Deckland has spent considerable time
and funds getting this firearm to a new standard of performance.


* NX - FR F2
-- Hailing from France, this weapon brings with it a long and storied history. Evolved from the
French MAS-36 sniper rifle, it has a wealth of modern attachments available for it but uses
a tried-and-true bolt-action loading system.

- MK14 MOD 0

-- The MK14 Mod 0 is an assault rifle based on the venerable M14. When the US Navy Seals
needed a lighter and more compact version of the classic assault rifle, the result was this
deadly beauty. The MK14 Mod 0 is made of lightweight aircraft alloy and is perfect for
special operations and quick assault missions, but can operate in any combat scenario.
Permanent only available for a limited time!

- Brass Knuckles
-- A low-tech option for dealing damage in close quarters. Light, fast and easy to conceal.


* GP
- Tango 51

-- The Tango 51 is a new tactical firing rifle designed from the ground up to emphasize bullet
alignment and precision engineering. That means that it’s an incredibly accurate firearm
suitable for any sniper’s needs.



Bubba Ares’ Gun Emporium Updates- Bubba Ares obviously never sleeps because there are all sorts of deadly goodies coming out of the
Gun Emporium this month.

* New Forgeable Weapons
- STG-44

-- The STG-44 is considered the first modern assault rifle and was first deployed in Germany
in 1944. It filled in a defensive hole between the smaller submachine guns that didn’t
have effective range and the larger machine guns that were too heavy to be effectively
carried by more than one man in a squad.

- MG34

-- A German air-cooled machine gun first deployed in 1935 and widely considered one of the
best of the early machine guns. It was one of the first dual-purpose guns that could be
fed from a drum for single-person use or via a belt as an infantry support weapon.



Bug Fixes and Other Changes - Equipped Abilities are now visible while dead.
- Fixed a clipping issue with the FAMAE S.A.F.
- HARDWARE BANNING SYSTEM HAS BEEN IMPROVED, TESTED, AND READY FOR ABUSERS.
- 4 Additional servers have been added into Foxtrot.
