    The starter gun is suprisingly good. I have been using it instead of the 80k gun lately. The campaign is pretty fun, I just played as the bad guy, and he is a total badass.

    IDontKiIIPpl , notice the kii.

    Agreed to both points. The 80k gun has such an annoying recoil that I already removed it from my classes.c

    I love using the silencer barrel, no one realizes where you shot from and keep on running while you hit them in the back, heh.

    Can anyone comment on the quality of the airplay feature? How is response time, is it modified full widescreen?

    I really like the new KT-44... KT-200 or whatever. It's quite good at mid-long range. Obviously the range isn't as good as the sniper, but that's not too surprising.

    The burst fire is very accurate, so you can often get kills with just one burst, even at a decent range. This also helps conserve ammo. At a short range, it can also be good, but sometimes I get killed just because I'm worse at spraying bullets.

    I'm much worse at this than at MC3. My kdr is only like 1.15, whereas it was 2.2 or so before. Frame rate can be frustrating on my 4s. Ranked matches are annoying too - they end much too soon. The lobby is cool but I hate how people don't vote on a map or vote no (it's really just a wasted vote, at least in ranked matches with random people), so everyone has to wait 45 seconds to start. Seems pointless.

    Wow. We sure have a lot of complaint in and whining from MC3 pal guys.

    First of all, the game runs absolutely beautifully on capable devices. The physics? My god they're so much better than anything we've seen on iOS before. This is the same engine used in Bioshock, Skyrim, BF3, etc. It may look a little wonky occasionally, but 90% of the time it looks very lifelike. Grenade physics are much improved as well

    Bad recoil? I think you're just annoyed that you can't go around hipfiring like you did in MC3 ;) I love the fact that ADS is needed, and frankly it works just fine on a touchscreen; helluva a lot better than a controller at least.

    Bad graphics? You need glasses? Of course it isn't running at retina on your iPad 3 (underpowered GPU) but it looks phenomenal compared with MC3 and the animations...really, really nice. Motion capture really shows.

    The game isn't tactical? I consider the movement system and the improved slealth system much, much more tactical than MC3, and of course the fact that you cannot run and gun in this game is a huge improvement. Again, you guys are just peeved that this isn't MC3.5 :rolleyes:

    Physics? It's terrible and glitchy. When you shoot a guy and kill him, half of time they will fly away from you... It just makes game bad rather than making it look good. Also makes game like its not polished and etc..

    I would also like to add that I greatly appreciate the very good balancing that Gameloft did with the guns. They're all very fair and well done. I would far prefer 50+ man hours into this than making sure ragdolls look perfect 100% of the time :rolleyes:

    Well, the body is one object and because of the bullet's momentum it sends the body flying not JUST A PART OF IT!!! The body Somewhat should be split into more parts, but have bones so part of the body doesn't just fly away...

    The graphics for this game are quite an accomplishment considering the platform and hardware used to generate them. It's mind blowing if you really stop and think about this type of graphics then the multiplayer function over Internet via a phone. It's truly amazing.

    I have an iPhone 4S and I have not encountered ANY crippling lag hardware side, net side... Nothing. This game has played very very smooth no matter the situation... A few npcs on screen, fire, smoke, draw distance, ai... Nothing that takes you out the moment and ruins the fun factor. I don't understand how some people are speaking of unbearable lag on an iPhone 4S.

    Yes the balancing on the guns is very good. I think SB, Shanko and iNexus are just mad that they can't go on a 20 killstreak just like that. Not their kingdom anymore.

    Anyone tried the Vect 9 or whatever it is. Tried it on campaign and I loved the accuracy, but I'm wondering if it's powerful enough.

    If its not a good buy then I'll probably buy bomber, because artillery was a waste. I paid 20k for it and I had to go on a 10 killstreak and what do I get? A kill. A single kill, sometimes not even that. Hell even the Airstrike is better.

    Well, to me, (I'll say this even though everyone ignores me) the gameplay is more important than graphics. I DON'T CARE if a ragdoll is screwed up when they die. THEY'RE DEAD!!! BUT I do care if the game is balanced - which it is, but it seems as if you were letting down mc3. I feel that was balanced too. Anyways, even if the lighting is bad (which it isn't) I don't care to an extreme degree, it's fun and that's why I play it. I don't stare at the animation and scenerary all day. (Fine I did that during single player when the water wooed me. ;) )

    So overall, better game. :D
