Combat Arms

A free-to-play first person shooter with low system requirements. Sounds like a dream for netbook users (at least netbook users with a mouse). Does it run on a netbook? No.

The installer was downloaded from the Combat Arms website and after a painless installation it was tested. The game seems to have an issue with the graphics adaptor even though it, in theory, meets the system requirements. Definitely a disappointment as the game is quite fun to play and the price is right. Looks like something you'll have to save for your desktop.

Acer Aspire One
Intel Atom N270 CPU
1 Gb RAM
Intel 945 graphic chipset
8 Gb SS Hard Drive
16 Gb HCSD card used as a second drive
8.9" LCD screen

    I've tested Combat Arms on an Acer Aspire 5920 which has an Intel graphics card that also should meet the requirements, but doesn't run the game well at all. Checking on the CA forums shows that there are known compatibility issues with integrated Intel graphics cards. Laptops or desktops with nVidia or AMD cards will have no troubles.

    Its the resolution, if you hook a netbook up to another monitor that supports a higher resolution it will play. Not well but it is sort of playable.

    you guys are all wrong! you can play it on a netbook! i do it all the time! all you have to do is change one of the registries value to 1 from 0 in regedit, i only tried it on windows 7 though and it works perfect if you use ethernet, not a game to play wirelessly from a netbook, you can play it with wireless but it will be quite laggy.
