The best FPS yet,. They have really hit the nail on the head with the controls! I only hope that all FPS games from now on use this control scheme as it feels so much more natural than anything else I have played so far. My only problem at the moment is that I am unable to get onto Multiplayer mode due to it asking for UPNP to be turned on at the router. I am in IT and can asure you that UPNP is on. Gameloft, please fix this for a full 5 Stars! MaNgO This is fantastic! The best FPS yet,. They have really hit the nail on the head with the controls!

Gameloft, please fix this for a full 5 Stars!

Auto-aim set to off. I noticed something. When you hold the fire button down, you can still drag your thumb different directions and it will still fire while your aim moves in the direction you want. Perfect controls for an iPhone FPS. I couldn't be happier with it so far. Excellent game. Auto-aim set to off. I noticed something.

Really fun game. And I love the middle control scheme. Awesome job Gameloft! Finally a good FPS game for the iPhone This game is A LOT more fun with auto aim off…you play the game differently, it's more challenging, and it's not as run and gun as the guy playing on the vid, also upped up the difficulty to hard.

An iPhone version of Modern Warfare 2 is definitely possible since a version is already being developed for the Nintendo DS. Plus with Activision all about milking franchises, getting onto another popular platform would definitely appeal to them.

That would give the player the feeling of exploring the levels, which would make this game even better. :D Tell your friend that next time Gameloft should make it possible to turn of the direction arrow.

On the 3GS, the framerate is very fluid and reminiscent of COD4. Having that said, there are a few nagging issues. The framerate issue others have talked about is there, with the screen seemingly freezing at times when moving around. It doesn't happen very often, but it's certainly there. Another problem I have is the sounds. The guns do not sound very realistic at all, and when firing multiple shots there are inaccuracies in the sound output. The music, however, is excellent, and chances are if you're not using headphones it'll be hard to hear the audio flaws. Overall, in its current form, I can highly recommend this game, even with the few small issues it has. The game is very solid, with fluid controls and excellent visuals.
