Graphics are not so game changing that making them better will make Combat Arms top notch. A game with good graphics can still be shit (Ex. Modern Warfare 2, Black Ops, Grand Theft Auto IV, et cetera.) Good graphics don't make a good game. If you need more, look at minecraft; It's 16 bit, yet incredibly fun.

To make games fun, they need item/weapon balance, smooth mechanics, good measures against rule breakers, and most importantly (In non multiplayer only games) a solid and good story.

If I had to assign importance percentages to things, I'd say 50% gameplay, 40% story, and 10% visuals.
