    Not sure how to describe this one right but the feel and flow of the game has improved quite a lot.

    I still miss the havok physics though so holding on to MC4 for now.

    No controller support yet?

    Unaccepatable.

    This is the one feature I was looking forward to.
    They did not implement it for ios in MC4.
    They continue the same trend for MC5.

    Damn.....well, I just officially dropped this game off my list. Gameloft is pretty hit or miss with controller support, and history shows they don't like to take the time to do it much....F this game. Done!

    Oh yea, this just became premium + pay to win. Guns you can get with supply crates/boxes (whatever) that cost real money

    How evil is gameloft?

    I don't think it's pay to win, the "Pro" weapons only slightly change the stats, only by a little which doesn't make them that different, you can still easily outgun anyone with a pro weapon. It does seem that the crates are hard to get ingame and it takes a long time which was probably intentional so it forces people to buy them. You still can earn them ingame.

    Was just wondering if anyone has been able to figure out how this works yet ?

    Is it based on performance or, just randomly once in a blue moon some poor lucky soul out there in the ether gets a free mask or something ?

    If you really want to know the answer to that Q, go play Asphalt 8 and look at the IAP prices in that one. It'll either make you laugh or cry or become enraged.

    They literally have $100 "premium car packs" with two cars that you can only get by paying $100. And other car packs for lesser, but still completely insane amounts of $ that are IAP only.

    Any little advantage would still help you win, don't get me started on those class skills.

    This will be the last game I'd buy from gameloft, may they rot in h***

    I think each pro weapon is slightly better in one category but slightly worse in another. Haven't played the update though so that's just something I think I read here.

    It's just luck basically, I got a few duplicates of gold guns already.

    Is the battery problem somehow even worse? I just went from 35% to 8% in one match.

    Is your device oldish? I've had an iPod 5 for nearly 2 years and it runs out in 5 mins playing even something as simple as 2048. I don't have to use it luckily.

    Well looks like the game freezing/locking up bug is still here. Awesome.

    And the suicide grenade bug too. Double awesome.

    Are there weapons in this game that you can only buy with tokens (which are only available if you spend some cash)?

    5S. It was weird. I plugged it in for 2 minutes and it was back to 25%. Think my phone was just acting funny.

    No.

    Inconsistent readings (jumping) are often a sign of a battery on its way out.

    Still haven't found the time to check the update. But I quickly opened the apps and there are quite a few changes.

    First time playing this on my 6, decided to wait for the update.

    First if it looked so much better than on my 1st gen iPad mini (obviously). Also j think the response times using a higher spec device gives you an advantage. I was playing whilst trying to adjust the HUD, and ran in to a lot of walls and fired into the air as the controls weren't right yet, but I was still 'quicker on the draw' than others there and was back to scoring my usual kdr after 1 game. I am sure I can do better now though!

    Secondary, that's already been said, there are IAP's that allow you to buy crates that have 'pro' guns. I think 'alternative' is a better description as they have higher stats in some areas and lower in others, for example it may increase accuracy but decrease range (just an example not sure if any actually do this) also the crates have normal weapons and attachments in, a nice way to get them early. If you duplicate anything it gives you crystal dust that you can then get a special offer with, which seems to be another way to get guns early (I got the Smass shotgun, or whatever it's called)
    Also I know why they put iaps in, as it gives them another option to get income from the game. It is entirely optional as everything in them can be unlocked just by playing the game normally anyway!

    Thirdly I understand wanting to make a festive update, but I don't think the Christmas trees and hanging santas, and the Christmas music, really fit! Why would someone decorate a building site?? But it doesn't really detract from the gameplay so never mind!

    That's it for now as I only played a couple of games.
