    Grenade capacity needs a nerf. I've seen a lot of grenade spam over a meager three matches.

    Also, Heavies need less insane damage reduction. They're insanely tanky, and their shotguns are powerful. Their high DR lets them close gaps and get one-shot kills easily. Considering most maps have short sightlines, that's a problem.

    More on the topic, concussion grenades should NOT be able to kill. I've seen people shoot others a couple times, get out of the way, and throw a concussion grenade for a kill. It's got a huge range, and deals damage outside of its instant kill radius.

    Sidenote: the Charbtek is atrocious. Just a terrible, terrible gun.

    Does this game vs MC4 remind anyone of Counter-Strike 1.6 vs Source? Haha MC5 looks just like CS:Source to me.

    Also, can anyone explain why there's no rag doll physics? Seeing a body lay like a 2x4 plank on the staircase is pretty lame... So are the 3 "death animations". I'd rather have rag doll IMO.


    EDIT: wow, just got killed by a hacker with an 'automatic' rocket launcher with unlimited ammo. I'm surprised people are already hacking, lol...

    Yeah but on the app description it says it runs on an ipad 2 and up. So I'm wondering if maybe I need to update my ios or something to make it run better without frame drops

    This is my 1st FPS on a mobile device...

    So far I liked it but it drains the battery of my 5S so fast...

    Couple of questions for the veterans:

    What control setup do you use? Which sensitivity? (there are different sensitivity settings afaik)

    Modern Combat is an automatic instabuy for me. Downloading now. This may be the only game to pull me away from Monstar Hunter right now.

    Looks great, controls great, multiplayer is fun as expected.

    Campaign is disappointing though. They were probably going for a mobile friendly kind of structure, but this is weird considering that most people will play at home anyway (due to always online). It just feels really weird and disjointed. Instead of a big, epic campaign, it's like a bunch of tiny missions slapped together. Not to mention they force you to go through silly, repetitive missions that are totally unrelated to the story if you want to progress.

    Basically, it feels more like Dead Trigger than Call of Duty now.

    Again, I get that they might be trying to differentiate the game from console FPS's, but in my opinion this wasn't the right way to do it. Hopefully MC6 gets back on track on this aspect.

    The engine is improving at least. Looks very good and the performance is impressive compared to past games.

    It's still worth it. It can be fun in SP and MP. Just not as good as I hoped.

    After I put in some time in this game i'll post a screen of my customized HUD. Others share yours if you think you got somethin good going.
     
  9. Bought it this morning.

    I'm not really interested in MP. But playing the campaign.

    I like the game in general. But the always online is ridiculous.

    30 minutes play time. 60 minutes mc5 has disconnected... Time.

    I'm sat in my living room. A foot from router. Super fast broadband.

    I don't really care about the arguments for and against. Unified progression blah blah...

    Simple fact?

    I paid £5 for a game I can barely play. Urgh.

    I've almost completed the campaign, only one mission remaining which I keep for tomorrow. :)
    Basically, the campaign is very easy, I managed to complete it with almost only playing with the first pistol. It's not that difficult to get 3 stars in every mission with it, but it takes very long to unlock the next ones. I managed to play a few matches on multiplayer which were very entertaining, but I'll start to play the multiplayer intensely tomorrow. As for today, I can be glad to have 400+ headshots in singleplayer and be on rank 1 in the event.

    Is it just me or are there only 4 multiplayer maps?? MC4 launched with 5 or 6 I believe. Then they added 3 more in an update.

    327 is showing as the highest on the leaderboard I see! I have 130 and I am in 7th!! Weird.

    Edit - what is a multikill I haven't quite figured it out yet... I am guessing a number of kills in a space of time?

    Liking this more than MC4! Unfortunately, you practically have to play plugged into the wall. It eats about 10% of battery per mission!

    I'm going to bring it up again lol. I'm really poor at the controls. Can anyone post a video on how they work well with the controls? I'm having a hard time w/o the aim assist, and in MP, it's like I don't have hands at all lol.
