Yes. Ipad 3 sucks even more even though it didn't get the retina display update, which is quite odd because it should run this game much better ( with non-retina resolution ) than iPad 2. There are slow downs on iPad 2 (especially online) i guess it's because of players' shadows and some additional effects. I believe these devices would be able to run this game properly without those effects.. We really don't need them on Our older devices. In shooters like this the most important is performance. Those slow downs affect the aiming/ looking around ( the most important move ). Some ppl watch gameplays (recordings )on youtube and they can't see any " lag ". Trust me.. You will not see it. . You would have to feel it while playing the game and comparing it on different generations of iPad ( I have that opportunity ). Now Ipad 2 runs MC 4 even better than iPad 4 (!) Let me explain You why... On ipad 2 you will face described above slow downs especially when You meet other players (probably caused by their shadows ). On ipad 4 ( after the latest update )other players don't affect the performance because there are slow downs all the time + when You move ( run ) you can notice small "cuts" all the time ( they are so small [ and so disturbing ] that You can just feel it while playing ) . It's noticeable when You look at the environment ( walls and different objects ). Hope I explained everything clearly...
Also when they capture the game to put o. YouTube.p, the video doesn't show as much lag as if you we're playing it in real life. So the videos on YouTube of mc4 running on ipad 4 after the update aren't as accurate in showing the lag.
Yeah, I realize that, it is the software coding that is more important than the hardware, cause the ipad 4 has alot of firepower. But while it may seem from this thread that there are a lot of ipad 4 owners, the reality is that developers like Gameloft take a huge risk in making better ipad 4 versions. Not only the added time, added graphical assets, beta testing, potential for negative ratings from ipad 3 owners, more headaches, and the potential for big problems like we have now with updates. When the ipad 5 comed out, I predict that developers will take ipad retina console games to the next level, and really focus on console like retina ipad games. So yeah, Gameloft is going threw some growing pains with you ipad 4 users, but heck, you have to give them some props for having at least tried. I'm sure they are working hards behind the scenes to fix things. And they will, whether it means going back to non retina or optimizing the retina ipad version. This game is one of the most complex console like games on ios, it requires a huge amount of time to modify the game, it is not just a one man indie that can change his code overnight. I have always respected Gameloft for being on the cutting edge of ios console gaming. My Gameloft Duo Gamer Joystick is the same way. These vastly improved ipad 4 versions are kind of in a tech demo stage and will probably stay that way til well after the ipad 5 release. Unfortunately the reality of the situation is, the harder ipad 4 owners go at companies like Gameloft for being on the cutting edge, the more likely all companies won't bother optimizing their games for ipad 4, and will just basically give the ipad 4 owners the same as the ipad 3 versions. But I too am hopeful that the ipad 4 version shines one day in full ipad retina and works with my Gameloft Duo Gamer Joystick. I am really looking forward to what could be an awesome true console game with hdmi tv.
This happened to me as well. I was pissed off as hell. I swear some things about gameloft just make me rage so much. They said they fixed this and it still happens.
I'm waiting for the team to come in this morning for an explanation/comment on the weapon loss. In the meantime, if you've lost your weapons, send an email to [email protected] with your GLLive. As an aside: Duo Gamer support is on hold and the team are working on figuring out the quickest solution to the retina problem.
Thanks for the update! Hopefully this horrible frame rate issue will be resolved well before the next major update. Otherwise MC4 is just a 2 GB digital paper weight
Please hurry. I keep raging picking my prey's compakt and keep on saying 'anyone can kill with these guns" as I watch them die from their very own gun.
Thanks for the info. I play this game on my iPad2 and was sure there was a problem because some players seem to have an advantage compared to me.
Well to be honest, it's not THAT op. Hipfire and ADS is not that good. Charbtek can actually beat it in ADS in long range somehow lol
I assume you are from Gameloft, but thank you for trying your best to resolve the ipad 4 retina problem and the Duo Gamer Joystick issue. We all appreciate you guys trying to make the ipad 4 version retina, and I am sure the ipad 4 owners will be overjoyed with happiness once it is working right. Me, as an ipad 3 owner, not so much, but heck, when I get an ipad 5/6, then I will be very happy. Thanks.
Aaaarghhh. I just got hit with the loss of weapons too, in the middle of a match. Thanks CMMC4, for the info on where to get help. I just sent the email.
