    I hope that the MP rating is just a figment of my imagination, as I just joined a match and was doing pretty well, then the game crashed, so I logged back in to see that my rating had DROPPED by about 20-30 points, because of a CRASH, either remove the rating as I know that it makes many people feel frustrated, even if it means nothing I hate seeing it drop by 20 points every time something bullsh*t happens.

    Hadn't thought about the iAPs for maps and yes, don't worry I kinda knew that the iPad mini wouldn't run that smoothly but I at least thought that they would make sure that it would run decently or at least would be playable (like NOVA 3 was in the iPod Touch 4) at some degree or at least to start all the MP maps properly

    Are you suggesting new MP maps will be IAPs? That would be outrageous!! :mad:

    I wasn't speaking solely about the Red, I was talking about all the final weapons. I think they're designed to be too superior.

    I'm sure they'll add a grip of free maps before actually adding premium DLC maps.

    Also, speaking of weapon balance, the 3rd sniper is terrible. Sure it's damage is higher than the past 2, but the fact that it's bolt action makes it nearly unusable. It should honestly be a 1-shot weapon at least chest up.

    Snipers in this game are so poorly designed, it's a shame they're basically the only weapons I'm using haha

    But I have actually saved a couple of games
    I joined half way through, CTF games being 1-0 down and then scoring twice ;)

    Sooo Coool ;)

    @TheOutlander (not going to quote it all). I am playing on a first gen mini and have zero issues (well not zero but most have been due to playing on a dead slow wifi link). I would suggest cleaning out multitasking (I bet you have loads of apps in there) and giving it a reboot, hold lock and home for about 15 seconds until the apple logo comes up. I have had a couple of crashes that this fixed, and to be honest as Bad_Trip said you can't expect it to run flawlessly, but doing that trick fixed it.

    Also no one but gameloft knows what the shape of the game was 8 months ago. They wouldn't have delayed it without good reason, who knows thy may have found a massive bug with iOS 7, or perhaps it didn't run at all (bear in mind this would have started development before iOS 7). I don't get the 'why did they delay it, those 8 months did nothing' argument. Do you really think they just say around for & months twiddling their fingers... Sigh.

    Yes the game is not perfect, but if you look past those imperfections, and don't get obsessed with kd ratios and MP rankings (or how a certain gun is a certain way) you will actual find this game can be good fun!

    This. I think maps will be free, what if you buy the maps, but hardly anyone else does, you'll be left with a purchased map you hardly ever play on as everyone in the MP will need to have it. I think we will see character customisation and possibly another class as IAP. Or maybe we won't ever have any, that would be nice

    Tried the Recon in MP and it was a complete joke. Well, I was using the Tier 1 weapon and couldn't kill shit. Lost 20 points in 30 secs. Guess I will grind in SP for the higher Tier ones.

    Yeah tier 1 is hard work. It's better with the tier 2, and the Tier 3 (Jolt) is much better. I am close to the tier 4 one now, and it has been soo much quicker than 1 to 2

    Yes, Tier - 1 Recon gun sucks big time, my K/D ratio certainly took a hit.

    However, once you are at Tier-3 and advance from there, along with the amazing perks that Recon gets, it becomes a really fun class to use. At least in my opinion!

    Wow.. I killed a heavy assault, equipped with a shotgun, in close combat with a pistol.... This 50% dmg buff is really really strong. It seems every class except heavy is good, 50% buff on pistols, 35% on rifles, radar all the time for recon. But the shotguns are shit, today someone shot at me with it 2 times and I didnt die.

    @gameloft
    Please give bigger awards for TLE's, because 4000exp for the 1st place is nothing. Bring the fp awards back:(

    I think there are a lot of bad heavy class players out there. Heavy class should be quite good, it had rocket launchers etc... But I think the people playing with it aren't playin to it's style.

    With heavy you need to get close. With the perk that gives you extra health, you should be running as close to the opposition and pumping the shotgun. Most of the heavys I see stop moving when they start get fired on because they are scared to take any damage, as for the other classes you don't want to do that. You need to pile through, take the damage but get the close range kill.
    Or use the nade or rocket launcher if you want to be further away.
    The heavys that actually use this tactic against me normally kill me.

    Just my thoughts on it :D

    I think that with the shotguns (and the burst rifle and M14) you should be able to hold down the fire button and it would keep shooting, instead of having to re tap the button every time, as sometimes when retapping you can accidentally move the crosshair and you will miss, please change this. I've been killed many times because of this even when I spam it the crosshair still manages to move.

    If you want the best online multiplayer combat game on the AppStore, this is it. No in-app purchases, nice weapons/class upgrades and smooth graphics and gameplay. So yes, totally worth the $7 USD

    Just got the red finally. I have to admit that I've been doing well with a fully uploaded ufia but that slow climb to the red really hurt my k/d. I got a late start and when I really dove into this everybody had the red already. But I think I'll stick to my ufia. I got my k/d to 1.6

    Just got a inbox message from gameloft saying the red, impact and nail greanades have been balanced. Which means nerfed. Maybe it's really a great idea to use the ufia fully loaded

    Really? That's strange they can do it without pushing an update... Also no offence but why are Gameloft emailing you?

    Heh, it wasn't a pm directly delivered to him. It's in the GL news section in the top right corner. There you can see the "weapon balancing update" news ;)

    Because I am the owner of gameloft. And yes they can update behind the scenes. SMH.
    Wow, are you really questioning me. I've been a member here before you knew what a iOS device was. And from where in my post did you get that they emailed me. Before you assume things, please be sure that what your questioning is indeed false. If you log into the game you'll get a inbox from gameloft explaining everything under the news section.
