    Yeh I thought it might sound like I'm whining because I'm not good at this game. That's actually not the case. Ask rip73, with whom I played earlier and he said I was beasting. Also killjoy, I played a match with him and I think he said I did pretty well.

    The point I'm trying to make is I can't stand looking at that Instagram filter graphics when playing this game. It burns my eyes. And the lag and performance is absolutely unbearable. For me mc3 didn't lag so I haven't had experience of lag before and mc4 lags really really bad. I dont know, maybe some people enjoy a game with lag but with me, that's a no no. It gives me a head ache.

    And I think you misunderstood me before about the rag doll effects. I was trying to say that game loft SHOULD NOT have added these effects because the hardware can't handle it and they look crap anyway.

    Well then stop expecting so much and you won't get disappointed. And I'd love to hear at least three things they changed that we're good in MC3.

    Only things you can't jump over are really wide and thick stuff and the ones that are too high. You can jump over almost anything that is useful to jump over.

    ADS works fine. Maybe up the sensitivity though. Not you but Gameloft in an update. It does feel slow in ADS

    Well I still don't know if it's your skills which make it unplayable for you, because I know you. You were one of the best MC3 players with a really high kdr and maybe 2.5 would be too low and frustrating for you.

    I still don't notice the instagram filters except when in low health... And that's it. I've Gotten used to lag which probably makes me love this game a lot since it lags less. Try turning off gore, camera smoothing etc to get better performance. Anyway, I don't enjoy lag either, but I do enjoy less lag.

    Okay the ragdoll point I'm sorry about. I misunderstood the point here.

    - There aren't any killstreaks unlocked from the start. Now that's great for new players!
    - You only get experience from ranked matches
    - Many of the attachments are just pointless or bad (Example: an acog scope that doesn't zoom in? Then what's the point? The Red Dot sight blocks less of your view, so of course I'd choose that instead. And who'd use most of those muzzles? There is no reason why you'd want a Flash Moderator/supressor in this type of game.)
    - many of the menus are worse than in mc3, scrolling through attachments isn't as good as seeing them all at once for example.
    - The weapons don't look as different as they did in MC3. (In mc3 it was easier to tell right away wich gun one was using just by looking at it)
    - Some guns/attachments seem really overpowered. Quite often I get 4 or 5 hits on somebody, but suddenly he turns arround and I'm dead.
    - some of the guns look really similar, the guns in MC3 where more distinct.
    - The physics are terrible. Grenades bounce off walls in random directions making thins unpredictable
    - I can stand far enough away from a grenade that the indicator for it will not be shown anymore and still die from it, even if I had full health.
    - Te spawnpoints are bad, can't remember how they were in MC3, but they're definetly not good here.

    I did come across quite a few fences that looked like one could jump over them, but one couldn't.

    I think you didn't understand what I meant with the problem with ADS on touchscreens: on a mouse or controller you could press the shoot button and the ADS button at the same time, meaning that you can shoot right after/while going into ADS mode, whereas on a touchscreen you have to moove your finger after hitting the ADS button to the shoot button, wich does have more of a delay, during wich the enemy can probably already hit you a few times just by hipfiring.

    Those points I give you. You're right about those. Spawns were worse on MC3 btw.

    Of course on short ranges ADS is useless, but on longer(from 5 meters up) ADS will be more useful than hipfiring even with delay

    That really depends on the gun (wich ruins the balance quite a bit).

    With the first gun you can kill people with hipfire who are quite far away.

    Which is good. First gun needs to be good for new players. Gun balancing is better than MC3. There's no OP shotgun like Roar or no OP SMG like OPS...

    And about that new players no killstreak thing. Like new players could even get a 3 killstreak...

    Edit: now where's your stats? Are they bad and you're afraid to show them cause you know I'm right that you don't like the game cause you suck at it? Okay sorry that's probably not the case, but just seems like it

    by new players I meant players who are level 1, not players who are new to iOS shooters.

    I see a ton of players using a certain gun, the light machine gun or something like that. Is it better than the 80k gun? What about the automatic shotgun? Also, is there a gun like the KT-44 in MC3?

    That description gives no hint to what gun you're talking about... More specific please?

    80k gun is quite bad. Really inaccurate, but since KT-44 was similar and you owned with it then I guess the closest to KT is the 80k gun. There's one AK gun, but its burst gun.

    I'll refer to my previous post.
    There is far more security this time around.
    I have confirmation, definitive, of user names being checked very quickly this time around and measures being taken if they are hackers.
    Use the reporting system. Or the email. There is a team specifically tasked with anti hacking.

    I keep playing multiplayer matches and I haven't gotten any xp I'm still level 1. I've created a new game loft live account and reinstalled the game but I still can't get XP. Does anybody know how to fix this?

    You don't get any XP from custom games, you have to play ranked matches.
