Official Communiqué: Combat Arms Command, June 4, 2010
Attention Soldiers!
A big week this week as Combat Arms Command launched our new feature – the Steady Shooter! This feature is designed for novice soldiers and experienced veterans alike and gives tactical details on some of the maps of Combat Arms along with suggested loadouts for them. These aren’t “official,” of course, and we want to know what you think about them so why not join our Facebook page or get on the forums and talk about your own map strategies? We’ve also launched submachine gun month, so keep an eye on our page to find out about the great sales and events we’ve got coming up. In that vein, we’re taking a look at the PP-19 MOD in our Item of the Week feature and we’re going to see what your fellow Combat Arms soldiers have to say about it. Check out everything that happened this week in Combat Arms and always remember that wars aren’t won with guns, they’re won with really big guns.
Headlines
The Steady Shooter – Vertigo
Attention, Soldiers! This is the first edition of Combat Arms Command’s new orientation and information packets. It has come to our attention that many of our younger recruits and novice soldiers sometimes have difficulty getting themselves properly oriented and equipped for field operations – particularly when faced with an unfamiliar operational field. That’s where this document will be of assistance. Dubbed “The Steady Shooter,” this pamphlet will offer an operational assessment of various fields of engagement and give a suggested basic equipment loadout for particular tactical doctrines.
The briefing begins here!

Item of the Week
This week’s item of the week is the PP-19 MOD. A custom model of the PP-19, which features an attached silencer as well as a red dot sight, modified to suit Special Operations. This sub-machine gun is very popular amongst our Combat Arms soldiers, most of whom sing it’s praises for small maps such as Junk Flea, Death Room and Vertigo. This gun seem particularly popular on Death Room, in fact, because of people’s tendency to crowd up at the top of the stairs. That makes the PP-19 MOD’s 65-bullet clip particularly devastating when used on clumped together enemies. If you’re looking for multi-kills and accolades for close quarters combat, this is the gun to get.
Let’s see what a few of your fellow Combat Arms players had to say:
“This weapon is the best, in my opinion, on Death Room. It is the best when going up the stairs on either base and having three or more enemies there camping. This is because there is so much ammo and the bullets do lots of damage, it kills the three (or more) enemies fast and gets you a good accolade.” – Devon D.
“PP-19 is a great gun for trying for accolades and surviving for a long time. The rate of fire and the speed of the gun makes it perfect for small maps. This doesn’t do justice to the PP-19. It is also great at mid-distance, to take out those snipers before they can shoot you.”– Bill C.
“The PP-19 MOD is an excellent submachine gun with a rapid fire rate. The recoil or spread of bullets is moderate meaning that you should hold the trigger for five bullets, rest, and repeat. The portability is decent so don’t waste your time switching to a knife because it will probably delay your ability to fire at enemies around corners. Due to the high number of bullets in a round, reload only when you are left with around 10-20 bullets. The silencer attached to the gun is also quite effective at masking sound providing decent stealth. I personally recommend this gun for use in small maps like Death Room and Vertigo. The PP-19 MOD is enough to get the job done at medium range. However, shooting over long distances will result in inaccuracy. So, have a handy long range weapon, preferably a sniper rifle, with you at all times. This gun is spectacular and you will not be disappointed with the money you spend on it. Enjoy!” – Manu K.
