One Man Army

"You're in there on your own, soldier... it's you against everyone else!"

- Official Combat Arms Website

One Man Army, or OMA, is a very popular game mode due to its fast pace and large EXP and GP gains. In it, players attempt to reach the goal number of kills the fastest by killing all other players; there are no teams. The winner is the player who reaches this goal first.

Gameplay
Every person is against each other, making 16-player matches a complete warzone. If one depends on teammates who specialize in their weaknesses to do well, this game mode can be very challenging. The goal is for a player get to the set amount of kills before anyone else. Kill Stealing is commonly found in this mode, and sadly the person who stole the kill can also easily kill the person he/she stole the kill from.

One Man Army is especially popular amongst high-level players due to the high amounts of GP/EXP given. Even if you only place among the top ten, you typically receive over 100 experience and gear points.

Complaints and Fixes
Some people have had some complaints because the other game modes don't give the same amount of EXP and GP as One Man Army. Also, some have voiced complaints about the "3 second rule," which allows invincibility to players for 3 seconds after respawning. This leads to easy kills for the respawning players if they happen to spawn next to an unaware player. In the 01-10-08 Patch, the amount of EXP received in OMA matches was decreased. Also, the "3 second rule" is now canceled when a player fires a shot. Even if you do not fire a shot, One Man Army has a shorter spawn shield time than other modes.
