Nexon America Infects Combat Arms with zombies in new major content update
New Quarantine Mode includes a new map, weapons and has players
turning into zombies, running amok and spreading their contagion to
other players
Nexon America today announced Quarantine Mode, a new content update
for its popular multiplayer online first-person shooter (FPS), Combat
Arms. The new play mode introduces player-versus-zombie combat where
players compete as soldiers or as infected zombies. The mission for
players: to either survive and destroy the infected or infect as many
humans as possible. Players can acquire the updated game now at

Quarantine Mode is introduced as “Operation: Overdose,” on a new map
to Combat Arms. On this map, players are randomly selected at the
start of each match to become a zombie. Players chosen for the
“infected” team must try to infect anyone that crosses their path.
Zombie players will use a melee attack to infect other players. Infect
all players and zombies win. Humans have two ways to win – survive the
mission timer or destroy all of the infected.
For the uninfected, it won’t be easy to fight off the zombies, who are
immune to poison, extremely resistant to bullets and moderately
resistant to fire, explosives and melee attacks. Zombies are also not
affected by critical hits. Infected players have double the normal
stamina and have an increased amount of health. Players will need to
use their weapons to keep the zombies away with the weapon knockback
feature and work with teammates to use strategy to defeat the hordes
of walking dead.
“This isn’t the usual zombies invading, eating your brains type of
scenario,” said Min Kim, Nexon America’s vice president of marketing.
“In Quarantine Mode, the fun doesn’t end with fending off zombies.
Even if you get infected, you can continue playing as a zombie and
spread the zombie bug to your friends and other soldiers. This makes
for a messy, gooey fun fight with only the stoutest soldier able to
avoid becoming a chew toy.”
The new Combat Arms update also includes a variety of new deadly
weapons including a flame thrower, new assault rifles and shotguns to
its roster of deadly armaments. Quarantine Mode is the latest major
update Nexon America added to Combat Arms, which has seen more than
three billion kills since launching last summer.
