    Isn't there a fix for the problem that requires constant re-downloading of the MP maps? This just became a problem when I deleted and reinstalled. It makes me download the MP maps every time I open the game. I could swear there's a button or something somewhere, but can't find it.

    No fix. The setting you're thinking about is whether or not you want to download maps on wifi only but the MP maps disappearing has nothing to do with it. This game is broken. :(

    Has anyone gotten past the first part of Chapter 3 "The Ambush"? I'm on my 25th try and it is so impossible I'm about to delete this stupid game!

    Yeah no problem. This is far from the most difficult mission. You just have to prioritize getting rid of the RPG guys and remember that the on screen damage indicator shows you where damage is coming from so you don't forget about guys on 1st floors. Enemies will rush you from the left side first, then middle, then right, then your vehicle will move and they'll be right in front of you. Tweaking the sensitivity in the settings may help maneuver the machine gun more smoothly.

    I'm going to use this reply to also make a few points after completing the story for the 3rd time - I wonder why anyone would do this. ;) Although the story lacks in depth and the voice acting is poorly done (why does Phoenix sound like is about to choke every time he speaks? why does Roux's friend sounds like she's from an anime, squealing like a deranged sow every time anything happens?), I must admit the campaign looks incredible for a mobile game. The explosion, splashes and various effects, interaction with the environment (roof tiles being pulverized by machine gun, various crates being torn apart and so on), reflections and shadows as well as camera movements are all incredible. And in the campaign you can hide behind walls and boxes, you won't get shot. ;)

    The gameplay and graphics have been seriously crippled for the MP mode I think. It probably got rushed as the dev team couldn't meet the deadline or downgraded to ensure compatibility with a wide variety of devices but, again NOVA 3 and MC4 played great and had very convincing MP graphics.

    Apparently someone ripped off my name and has started speed hacking. I've had about 5 or so people copy my names in different ways but this is the first hacker.

    Someone reported him and posted a video of him cheating:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVg-7qCDqj4

    I never use recon, play ffa, and I'm a level 100 so this is definitely not me.
    Really really hoping I don't get banned.

    Gameloft dropped the ball big time with allowing players to chose any name they want. Regardless if it's taken or not.

    Are you sure players can use duplicate names? His doesn't have the apostrophe so you should be good, right?

    Speed hackers are more subtle these days. Usually just a tad faster than the Sniper class carrying a handgun. The next update should have better hacking protection from what I've read. I won't believe it until I see it though.


    I'm still experiencing many crashes and freezing, I hope this will get addressed in the next update, rather than just adding the 1 winning mask from the contest.

    Whatever it is, i'm sure it'll be just as good as all the other stuff they've made for MC5 so far.

    Oh wait. None of it's out yet.
    And it's been nearly 4 months.

    LOL!

    Honestly the best way to understand the level of disappointment and frustration some players may display, myself included, is to compare MC5 to MC4.

    MC4 shipped with 8 MP maps & 8 modes, 3 maps & 2 modes were added 6 months later in the meltdown update as well as 1 new class, new perks and new weapons.

    MC5 shipped with 4 MP maps, 4 modes and after almost 4 months after release, the only updates we got were what I feel were damage control fixes (weapon balancing mainly). The upcoming update or updates are going to feature a re-hashed MC4 map, a player skin in the form of a mask, the "Leagues" which I'm thinking may be similar to the "Veteran" modes of MC4, and the "Squad Revenge" which sound like rematches. No word on CRITICAL bug fixes that plague gameplay. Although MC4 did have some bugs but nowhere near as bad in impact or number than MC5.

    But, hey, the initial release was delayed by 9 months so I'd say at this point that it seems typical of this dev team unfortunately. I'd be curious to know how many people are currently involved in developing the app.

    I don't get the framerate complaints, it's totally solid on my 2 year old iPad 4.

    Framerate is apparently more of a problem on newer Apple devices and Android. But certainly you've been experiencing server lag, haven't you?

    Yeah that guy probably should have checked lol, but I think the team that did MC4 should have done MC5.

    NOVA 3 always had a different feel than MC3 and MC4 had, and it does show in how MC5 plays.

    I wish that they had kept the same team, i have no idea why they switched because MC4 was amazing. Better weapon customization (way more viable combinations and choices, as compared to a single choice, tier system), better loadout customization (way more options and viable combinations), better mission structures (actually felt like missions), same if not better graphics (although this isnt a big deal for me since they are/were both good), and smoother controls.

    Fix the damn freezes already, Gameloft. Nobody will be left to give a s*** about recycled maps if you don't fix all these problems that exist. I'm trying my best to hold on but I'm reaching my limit here. I get a freeze 1-2 times out of every 10 MP matches.

    You'll get an update when it's ready, until then the best thing you can do is to shut up. /sarcasm

    Did they nerf the tier 5 shotguns rate of fire?

    Hey guys, haven't checked in since early October. Is it true there are still NO new MP maps?

    Jesus Christ that's all I wanted. Some variety.... If this is true I'm done with this game for good.

    Mc5 is a big disappointment, I remember when it was in development it looks great, but now when I got my hands on it I have deleted it in 42 hours.
    I still have mc4 and mc3
    Mc5 Is made by a other team they say to their defense, but didn't the previous team set the foundation of this serie.
    Now mc feel like a casual game in single player, and the multiplayer is the only thing that keep me interested in this game.
    Mc5 is a good try, let's hope they don't screw up mc 6 , with there always online crap.
    But now it seems like ea will bring a new Battlefield to the App Store, GAMELOFT better step up.

    Hopefully MC6 will release with more than a few maps and gamemodes, I'm also dissapointed with the lack of weapons in MC5, or rather the variety of weapons that we get, there are also only a few weapons in each category, there should be a wider variety like LMGs, fully auto pistols and more normal looking guns, some of the guns look impractical, even if they are real guns. MC3 and MC2 had normal guns that were common in real life, like the AUG and the assault rifles in both games. While the guns in MC4 and MC5 have a lot of sticking put metal bits and lumps and stuff and it all looks weird.
