    It's more like Crysis than Halo.

    You may be right. Halo should at least be an inspiration for crysis :D

    Anyways i just hope NOVA 3 premium isnt pulled now that there's the FREEdom version.

    Just so long as that doesn't happen, I'm actually not that bugged about this edition. I already own it so this version obviously isn't catered to me, but getting to play a game of this scope in exchange for red x'ing a few ads is pretty cool. That's if the gameplay hasn't been affected. Actively hobbling a game, shooting it in the knees, and then putting it back out to work is what bugs me.

    Especially considered in light of some of the more, uhm, exciting developer behaviors with regard to monetization within the past couple years, and more specifically the myriad examples of the, well, frustrating reworking of existing properties, this is refreshing to the point of being almost miraculous...

    Leaving the original paid game exactly as is and releasing an identical FTP version? *GASP*

    Is this real life?

    Yes! Those 'I paid 5 bucks two years ago, I deserve years of Updates and content' Players dont have a clue how hard mobile development is if you're not Robin, King etc
    Might not apply to Nova but this attitude isn't rare any more unfortunately

    If this means that they're thinking about making Nova 4, please, PLEASE, smaller maps.

    Did they change how one earns credits in this version or is it just a FTP version? Also does this version fix the lag on 4s? My 4s gets under 30 FPS which is odd since when it came out it ran extremely well.

    Well, I dońt mind freemium as long as we have the choice with a full premium game with no ads no timers, or pay-to-win currencies.
    Well done, Gameloft, both audiences are satisfied!

    I do not regret to pay for that game. It deserve it, and the fact that they got a freemium version mean more people in multiplayer. More fune, and chaos. Gameloft is bringing nova from the dead.
    Saying that people don't have the right to play that game for free is selfish, it's the same as price drop.

    In addition, I am not paying a game because it's the only way I could get it, because let's be real it's pretty easy to jailbreak. I am paying because the deus need encouragement and money to keep making games. That's why I do not praise them when they make bad decision.

    By the way if there is anything new in this version pm me I may try it.

    I'm glad I haven't bought Modern Combat 5. I'll wait until 2016/2017 for the Freedom Edition. (I'm kidding)

    In free edition it doesn't say
    "• Discover the new FPS benchmark for graphics and gameplay on iOS (real-time shadow & lights, particle system, ragdoll physics, etc.)"

    and the size is less than the paid version. Is it a low-graphics version?

    This's not the first big game to go free. GoF2 did it, and some others too. It is odd it's a separate app though. I'm sure it's perfectly legit, why wouldn't it be? I still go back to play this now and again, it's still one of the best looking and playing games out there! It's definitely worth a few annoying ads to play for free!

    ^Well, I wish Fishlabs would have made a separate app, too. :(
    I think the way GL did it with this one is perfectly fine. Don't screw over customers who've paid full price for the game but also satisfy all the freemium lovers and give them a separate app with some ads for free.

    Funny how the premium version has iaps and this one doesnt lol

    Also didn't this game come out a billion years ago? Why care if you bought it then and now it's free. If anything this is a good thing, they're reviving the game!.... Even though the hit detection is still poop and rocketpacking is still op...
