So how are you spending you Halloween? If you are planning to spend it staring bleary-eyed at your computer monitor playing the 2008 online first-person shooter Combat Arms, now you can do it without missing out on the Halloween festivities! Nexon America has announced that their Halloween Update will include Pumpkin Head uniform pieces as well as other items. Read on to find out what is included!

Here is the release:

Nexon America’s popular multiplayer online first-person shooter, Combat Arms, has added a variety of new, Halloween themed features, including Pumpkin Head uniform pieces. The update also adds a new map, the spread of infection and other tricks and treats just in time for Halloween.

Featuring the new map, “Grave Digger,” this new update sends players into an old Central European monastery to fight one another in four different game modes (Elimination, Elimination Pro, Capture the Flag and One Man Army).

Quarantine Mode has invaded another popular map in Combat Arms. Soldiers in “Junk Flea” will now be battling to stave off infection. This is the fourth map to be overrun by infected soldiers and should be a favorite for Halloween.

Fireteam mode fans can now acquire Respawn Tokens, which give players another chance to take down terrorist foes found in the cooperative player-versus-environment mode.

Combat Arms celebrates the spooky holiday with themed goodies and new weapons. Players can head to the Black Market to check out the gruesome limited edition Halloween Items, or pick up the new M32-Incendiary Bomb grenade launcher.

Server names will be changed for Halloween, and players will find Channel names added to help them find specific maps, modes and arms options in a more efficient matter.

If you have never played Combat Arms, it is a free-to-play online shooter. It tends to have minor performance issues at times and some of the areas have more than their share of the hackers and cheats typical of any online game, but for a free shooter it is loads of solid fun – and now solid Halloween-themed fun!
