     **Combat** shares many similarities with **Eliminator** in [[#in_wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]]: **Weapon Pads** don't have a cooldown, the player is allowed to **Combat Spin** (this time by pushing up on the right analog stick), and **Quakes** can be fired backwards. But it also introduced a few changes, with rules varying between Single Player and Multiplayer. **Combat** shares many similarities with **Eliminator** in [[#in_wipeout_hd|WipEout HD]]: **Weapon Pads** don't have a cooldown, the player is allowed to **Combat Spin** (this time by pushing up on the right analog stick), and **Quakes** can be fired backwards.
