We’ve been following Gameloft’s upcoming Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus very closely, as the original Modern Combat: Sandstorm [$4.99 / Free / HD] was a game that we enjoyed in our review and served to further raise the bar for first person shooters on the platform. Gameloft released a launch trailer today, which shows quite a bit of gameplay including a glimpse at what appears to be ten player online multiplayer— Complete with an experience system.
Normally I’d groan at such blatant “inspiration" from Modern Warfare 2’s online multiplayer system (right down to how it pops up in the middle of your screen) …But, I played Modern Warfare 2 online like a maniac, and I’m not sure what it will mean for my social life if Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus allows you to prestige. I guess we’ll see when the game is finally released early next month.
