    So how's it running on your touch now? Do you use the gyroscope?
    I'm curious how it influences a player that actually has some skill :D My kdr is somewhere in the vicinity of 0.1 right now.

    No I never really liked gyroscope controls. The game is running worse than before update, but not by that much. It was worse yesterday, now it's a lot smoother, as I said, servers were packed.

    Is your kdr really 0.1? Man you should try something else than gyroscope in that case. Maybe your controls are the cause of your low kdr

    I'm just really bad overall. I disabled gyro because I can't adjust to the whole 'move around' thing, but I still suck.
    Still, the only matches i've had so far were with ranked 45-50 players with who knows how many prestiges.

    And most of them were either knifing or noobtubing :D I never had a chance.

    I have an ipad 3 and I can say I am very happy with this update. It runs 100% smoother now and I can actually play normally like I could MC3. And i am certain all ipad 3 owners will feel the same way after updating. The gyroscope is fixed too now which is great. I am very happy with this update.

    Can someone please tell me why I can't move the sensitivity slider for the gyroscope? There is one there but I can't slide it low to high. It's just stuck in the middle sensitivity.

    You gotta tap it.

    For me the performance went down a lot. But that always happens after updates. Always happened with MC3. In a few days my kdr should stop lowering.

    Look out your window.
    That is complete bullshit. Of course we wanted retina on our $700 retina iPads with A6X processors because there WAS NO "RISK" this thing can run this game on retina obviously. They screwed up the optimization. Like, a lot.

    I'm not even having any trouble, like I said. I can play just as well as before. But it's so freaking annoying and it gives me a damn headache, the framerate is just weird.

    No I mean you should've known Gameloft cant optimize retina lol. No matter if it could run

    Ahh whatever, I got an Xbox and not an iPad so your performance will stay a mystery to me.

    now all of those compact users are owning me. I own USIA users handily though. I am playing with USIA until I save coins for compact and I am pretty sure I will own them.
    Also I am pissed at lags. Finally I was getting so good at sniping against veterans using ufia or charbteks. And now it lags when I am in a kill streak with snipers or compact users steal me kill streaks.
    Overall good thing they needed ufia as I still own with it.
    Once I get compact I will own compact users.
    Lag is not helping my sniping though.

    I can deal with framerate/device lag or whatevee its called fairly well most of the time, bur this server lag thats causing people to teleport is very frustrating...

    Its not just running slow on my iPad 4, its glitchy and has frame jumps all over the place, basically unplayable especially for someone like me who mostly uses sniper.

    Gameloft stated it was a mistake in the update, not an intentional update for retina displays. So they weren't "Granting" our requests for retina support.

    Either way I hope they have an update out soon for a fix. Till then im gonna have a lot of free space on my iPad from the absence of MC4.

    Still can't believe a fairly big company like gameloft let the retina graphics "slip" through the update. Sloppy coding if u ask me. Not very professional

    I could not agree more. I dont think its out of the question that games like RR3 run very smoothly but Gameloft just chose to be lazy and not optimize like they did for NOVA3 and MC3.
     
  17. Look on the bright side, at least there are enemies, unlike in the Minigore 2 update.

    It's weird though, some maps have much worse framerates.

    Paradise for example, is unplayable, whereas overtime has virtually no issues.
