Combat Arms is a very straightforward game. Any enemy that sees you will shoot you. There are several playing styles and tactics that will maximize your kills and minimize your deaths.

==Mobility==
==Mobility==
In Combat Arms, standing in the same place for too long is not a good idea. Moving targets are harder to aim for, while a stationary target is the easiest thing to hit. Also, if the Kill Cam is on, you should always move to another place after scoring a kill, because the Kill Cam reveals to your victim where you are. If the Kill Cam is not on, people will still eventually catch on to your location.

Being mobile not only includes moving forwards, but it also includes moving sideways and jumping. In fact, enemies will have the hardest time aiming at you if you continuously jump from side to side. While doing this makes it harder for you to aim, it makes it much harder for your enemy to aim, and you'll likely win fights against a non-jumper.

Shooting an enemy will deal different amounts of damage depending on where you shoot. A headshot will always be an instant kill, unless the person is wearing some sort of head protection (helmets, masks).

Camping is basically when instead of going to your enemies, you stay somewhere and wait for enemies to come to you. The popular camping spots are around common areas, because more people will come to you. By camping in an unpopulated area, you don't die many times, but you don't get lots of kills either. For example, if you camp in a corner, every time someone runs past, you'll see them, but they probably won't see you. Then, you can pop out of the corner very suddenly and kill the person.

==Firing Styles==
==Firing Styles==
There are several ways to fire a gun. Holding down {{mouse|l}} until you are forced to reload isn't always the best thing to do, while sometimes it is. There are three firing styles: Spraying, Bursting, and Sniping. People will most likely use a combination of these in their games. A few guns come with changeable firing modes that help facilitate a firing style. Learn the way to fire that is best suited for your gun and situation.

These firing styles only apply to primary weapons ([[Combat Arms/Assault Rifles|assault rifles]], [[Combat Arms/Submachine guns|submachine guns]], [[Combat Arms/Machine guns|machine guns]], and [[Combat Arms/Sniper rifles|sniper rifles]]).

===Spraying===
===Spraying===
Spraying is basically getting in your opponent's face and holding down the left mouse button to unleash the entire clip of bullets in their general direction. You keep spraying until the person is dead. Spraying is associated with auto-fire weapons that have either a high rate of fire, easily controlled recoil, a huge clip, or a combination of these. Because spraying doesn't require precise aiming, it would be wise to jump around a lot to avoid being killed by the person that you are trying to kill.
Spraying is basically getting in your opponent's face and holding down the left mouse button to unleash the entire mag of bullets in their general direction. You keep spraying until the person is dead. Spraying is associated with auto-fire weapons that have either a high rate of fire, easily controlled recoil, a huge mag or belt, or a combination of these. Because spraying doesn't require precise aiming, it would be wise to jump around a lot to avoid being killed by the person that you are trying to kill.


Whenever using a spray gun, always reload whenever you have the chance, because when you spray, your ammo will go down quickly. If you have to reload before your enemy is dead, you are most likely going to be killed. A tip is to hide behind a wall or two boxes stacked on top of each other when reloading.

===Sniping===
===Sniping===
Sniping is the opposite of spraying. Rather than firing off the entire clip in your enemy's general direction, you aim your shot carefully to ensure that it hits. You also wait for the recoil from a shot to settle down before firing off the next shot. Sniping is associated with any gun that has high accuracy and a small crosshair.
Sniping is the opposite of spraying. Rather than using the entire clip in your enemy's general direction, you aim your shot carefully to ensure that it hits. Sniper rifles are extremely accurate guns that come with a massive-magnification scope so that you can hit people that are very far away. However, sniping can be done at medium range also with any accurate gun. The K2 and M14 Assault Rifles have a single-shot mode that will largely reduce the recoil and increase the accuracy of the gun, facilitating sniping.

===Bursting===
===Bursting===
Bursting is a intermediate between spraying and sniping. You basically spray a string of around two to six bullets, stop to let the crosshair and recoil settle, and then fire another string of two to six. Doing this can help negate the bad thing about Assault Rifles: the crosshair gets absolutely huge after spraying a while.

Some guns like the M16A3, AUG-A1, SCAR-L, AK-103, and others have a burst-fire mode that will fire off three bullets whenever you click your left mouse button once. The crosshair will then return very quickly. You can still burst with an automatic gun, simpling by letting go of your mouse button and clicking again.

===Tap Firing===
Tap Firing is a combination of bursting and sniping. This firing style uses a faster fire rate than sniping, slower than spraying, yet more accurate. Tap Firing is tapping {{mouse|l}} very fast, yet not fast enough to let the recoil get out of hand. You want to center the aiming reticle (works best with a scope) on the body and tap as fast as you can without the recoil causing your aim to go off the target. This works very well with a G36E, as the scope has increased magnification for farther shots. You can also do this with any Assault Rifle with a scope. This does ''not'' work well for SMGs, however, because the recoil on an SMG does not have a straight up pattern for the first few shots (generally speaking), thus harder to control recoil.
