Attention Soldiers!

For 3/31, the fight may take you deeper into the trenches, but don’t worry! Spring is here, and Central Command is dropping new supplies to help you: new weapons, a new specialist item, and a whole new battlefield to conquer. Good luck, courageous soldiers of Combat Arms...

Operation Short Fuse:

SITREP: The military received Intel that led them to believe they were in danger of an anti-government uprising from local insurgents. The insurgents have seized a NEMEXIS research facility in the outskirts of the city. Although uprisings have become fairly common of late, the military has made the destruction of this particular group the highest priority, fearing that they have obtained access to top secret cutting-edge military equipment, information, and technology, all being developed by NEMEXIS. The military has dispatched special forces to quickly and quietly annihilate the research facility, and all those who occupy it.
