    What class is everyone playing? I seem to be finding much more variety these days, it's not just everyone with REDs.

    I have just started playing again, and am levelling up heavy, but switching back to recon now and again. I have unlocked the tier 3 shotgun, but I have no idea how long it will take to unlock the higher launchers, I have two kills with the tier 1 'nade launcher :(

    Recon here but I play mostly CTF so it makes sense. If I were playing other modes I would certainly use Assault as it's a nice balance between power and mobility. Actually, I should level up Assault if I ever want to do Squad battles. I wish SB could be CTF matches. The senseless shooting with no other objective than taking down players is not my thing.

    Yep, agreed recon is great for CTF. It would e nice if you could choose what mode you want for SB, a bit like the waiting room in A8, you all vote for the mode and map.

    Can't remember when I played Assault, it's maxed out though! I have maxed recon as well, and about 50% of heavy. I don't think I will ever manage to do sniper :)

    Also, a random match mode would be fun :)

    Well, I remember why I deleted this game before, I thought I might try out the game after the metal update, so I played a few matches and the game froze, then it unfroze but the screen stayed frozen, I could still shoot and move, but the picture was stuck, I tried shooting about 4 mins later ( there was 3 mins left on the clock when it froze ) and nothing happened so I closed the game and restarted and my MP rating had dropped about 130 points. Fix your damn game, Gameloft. Getting tired of your crap.

    If you're leveling up the launchers, a good option for grinding is Chapter 3, level 4 of Escape (Getaway). You get about 320 points, but half of them are with the launcher. Much faster than trying to level it up in MP.

    Is that the one where you end the level in the back of a van?
    Thanks for the tip

    Does anyone know if there are still people playing this? I remember it being really fun when I played it on a friends iPad years ago. I kinda want to get it.

    Yep,The last time I played a lot many people were actually playing it.It's easily the most played mc game to date,Though I suggest looking out for the compatibility I played it on ios 6 and it worked fine though ios7 and 8 are known to break compatibility,So do please check if it works on them.

    Yup, with the level 3 (I think) launcher. No problem.

    Just bought mc3, $3 on complete my bundle (I have mc4 but under a different account :()

    So that was either $3 well spent, or A complete waste on an out of date game!

    At least it will be a bit of variety and new challenge! I may even be able to get a decent kd ratio ;)

    Would someone that has MC2 be kind enough to test it on iOS 8 and see how well it works? I am wanting to get it but it only says iOS 3.2 and up. Thank you if anyone tests it.

    Yeah but grinding is really, really boring. I'd personally rather spend more time leveling through MP matches and gaining skill in the process (especially if you start from a low level weapon, you need some serious skill) than grind like a robot in SP mode.

    I hear ya, but it doesn't take long to work up to level 3 in SP, which is what I did. I thought that weapon was much better than the level 1 launcher for MP. But to each their own.

    Well I must have serious skill with a shotgun then ;)

    I played as recon last night and i was much better than either assault or heavy, definitley my favourite class. Although I did go from winning a FFA match to comig bottom the next :D

    Also noticed last night that the App Store says I have a MC5 update pending, which I dont, and the button says 'open' not 'update'. Very odd

    I remember with SF IV Volt, we could tell when an update was pending because the logo would blink off for a second in iTunes. MC5's logo blinked when I looked at it, so I'm pretty sure an update will be out very soon.

    Among other things like a sensitivity issue that makes it unplayable. Waiting for an update. Hopefully it'll be out soon.

    Sounds like a coincidence to me... I doubt that logos blinking will have any relation to an update being processed in the AppStore...

    However I do believe there will be an update soon, based on what Rip sai a while back. I think by now they should have some new content for us. I can't imagine it would take long to convert a SP level for MP. Different modes would take longer though...

    I love playing this game, but I hate having to be plugged in to play it! Nothing drains the battery on my 5s like this game!
