First round of a month-long FPS war kicks off this weekend as masses of
soldiers square off online in the "Spiders versus Scorpions' event
Nexon America is kicking off the first round of a month-long war on Saturday,
June 16, in its high-intensity online first person shooter, "Combat Arms," with
the opening of the Spiders versus Scorpions event. This event will pit the
game's six million registered players against each other vying for prizes and
accolades in its numerous battlefields and game modes while offering hundreds of
high-powered weapons to ensure epic kill counts.
The "Spiders versus Scorpions" event consists of four rounds, lasting a week
each, with a possible showdown-weekend set if each faction ends tied with the
same number of rounds won.
Players can go to
http://www.spidersvsscorpions.com for more details and check their team's
progress and individual rankings. During the event, players who log into "Combat
Arms" will be prompted to pick a side if they haven't signed up on the event
website. To celebrate the big war, the game's armory will have available
upgraded XM8 Assault Rifles stamped with the Spiders or Scorpions logo and
colors.
The event is easy and simple for player to jump right into and begin fighting.
Players just need to create or enter a game room with SvS option checked, where
they will be arranged onto teams automatically to start the war. Players will be
unable to change teams, although the room moderator will be able to switch the
sides for all players.
Any EXP and GP earned by a player during the event while in a "Spiders versus
Scorpions" room will be added to their faction's totals. The faction that earns
the most EXP and GP during a day will be awarded a win for that day. At the end
of the week, the faction that has won the most days will be considered the
victors for that round, affecting their prizes for that week, as well as
counting towards the final war prizes.
Prizes for the winning factions include various Supply Cases, weapons,
functional items, packages, and unreleased exclusive Assassin characters.
Members of the defeated faction will also receive prizes based on individual
contribution as well.
Last year "Combat Arms" held a smaller version of this event and huge numbers of
players participated, totaling more than 3.3 million battles in which there were
192 million kills recorded. This makes the "Spiders versus Scorpions" events the
biggest event for Combat Arms and one of the biggest events for all online FPS'
in North America.
