Attention Soldiers!
This week the big news is the arrival of the Rec Rules server on June 30th and the ongoing "Submachine Gun Month." There are a few events this week in fact, that take advantage of our month long focus on these deadly little beauties. Our Item of the Week is all done up in patriotic colors just in time for the Independence Day holiday, and we take a look at what your fellow soldiers think of the American Eagle. There's a great 99NX sale, and a new section where we give new recruits a bit of help in getting acclimated to the battlefield. Check out everything that happened this week in Combat Arms and always remember that heart disease is America's number one killer -- but Combat Arms Command is looking to change that!

American Eagle
This week’s item of the week is the beautiful American Eagle. The American Eagle is a patriotic pistol with a Stars and Stripes design. It will be on sale for a limited time oiver the 4th of July weekend, the American Eagle is more than just pretty and patriotic; it's one of the most powerful handguns in the game. Obviously as a pistol, it is a secondary weapon to be used in specialized scenarios and as a last-ditch weapon. Given that, however, the American Eagle is popular for its utility as a close quarters combat weapon in maps such as Junk Flea and Cold Seed. It's also incredibly useful in "Pistol Only" games. The real reason to own this baby though, is simply to show your American pride on the battlefields of the world!

Let’s see what a few of your fellow Combat Arms players had to say:

"Nice! That is definitely one of the coolest pistols ever!" – Kyle S.

“I want it so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so badly." –Zachary J.

"That Desert Eagle is an American beauty. Thanks to you Nexon! You made it come out in the most amazing way ever! That thing is sick!" - Luis V.

Basic Training
New to Weekly Briefing? Welcome to basic training, maggot! This is where we direct you to areas of interest, and give you tips on things that recruits should really know in order to become effective in the fight faster! This week's question:

What is Vivox Voice Chat and how do I use it?
Vivox Voice Chat allows you to communicate with other players in-game through any standard 3.5mm jack-in or USB headset.

Voice chat is on by default when you log into the game. The first time you will see (hear) voice chat is in a game lobby. There is no voice in the server lobby. After the game is launched from the game lobby, you will have voice in-game. Click here for more information about Vivox Voice Chat.

Release the Walruses!
We here at Combat Arms are always on the lookout for the best and most well thought out ideas. We also like silly stuff on occasion. That’s why when UlrichStern came to us with the idea of an Attack Walrus, we knew that we were looking at something brilliant.

Check out the breakdown of what may well be the most terrifying, hardcore and hilarious addition to Combat Arms that’s never going to happen: The Walrus
