    My secret is by playing capture the point, you get alot of exp from capturing... Create a 30 min match with no score limit and just keep capturing. It's a pretty easy way to unlock most stuff to.

    I buy the game for the single player story and immersion. The latter doesn't seem to be present on the iPad 3 indeed and I was very disappointed.
    I'll check out the multiplayer, but I won't start playing the single player campaign before all the effects are enabled for the iPad 3 Retina build. This is just ridiculous.
    I too believe the iPad 3 has the horse power to run at the high resolution and pump through a few extra post processing effects. The cut scenes especially look so bland right now. :(

    Looks great, but C'mon playing this on your i4s ain't ever gonna happen! On the new pad for sure it'll be great but if you really wanna play a game go get a PS3 a 52inch T.V and a copy of BF3 Hooooah! Peace to ya all.

    Yep, iPad users will always have advantage in FPS games on iOS.

    That's kinda nooby.

    Ajay told me it lags on iPod and you confirmed it too... Not getting it then. Besides, I always prefered MC3 over this.

    Complete waste of money if you own the new iPad,buy the new lost winds game instead of Nova 3 crap..lost winds is an much better optimized game for the new iPad then Nova 3 ever hopes to be.

    Could someone tell my why the game runs at 10 -15 fps in multiplayer with THIS draw distance? I mean, really? Are you serious?

    what the heck.....
    modern combat 3 runs fine on my new ipad, in full retina display glory.
    Nova 3 has not just framerate issueses, but HUGE framerate issueses. sometimes it gets so shitty that its declared unplayable by me... i'd say its 10 FPS.
    Also, anti aliasing is not engaged at this game it seems.
    Also the immersion is way better in MC3 then NOVA 3. Dunno why. maybe the textures are a bit low res, or maybe some effects are disabled i dont know.

    Wait for a update for this game. until then, do NOT get this for the new ipad.

    and nice the customer support link in nova 3 gets you the form, but it wont send the form anyways.
    EDIT: it crashed, but the support mail came through after all.

    Let's not misinform people here. JookDo is strange but you can get a huge score from capturing points/flags or unfreezing teammates in freeze tag.

    To bad Suicide_B0mb3r, you are famous :)

    Yeah but mc3 is still plagued by the annoying "i can't friggin' move the controls in the corner" bug... It really is a pain to play in multiplayer like that.

    It could be the overcrowded servers that make the game lag. On videos it didn't lag since there was no one else using it at the time.

    SB taking the first places in this one too ;) He was beast on MC3 before. And dude, playing like objective type to get higher scores is kinda nooby, start playing instagib or something. start killing
