    The story follows on from the first two but to be honest, they had a bad story that I can't even remember or care about now.
    The story is secondary but it's basically a battle and rebellion between three races that has no affect.
    Plus you'll kinda half get the story in the campaign as you play through it.
    It is an enjoyable game though so I have to advise buying it for fun factor alone.
    Other than those damn jet packs in multiplayer.

    Lol.
    I dunno, the jet pack as it becomes more common is kinda ridiculous and over powered.
    Moving to the car park map permanently where the jet pack ain't much good with roofs.
    Skill and aim rather than how high you can hop or hide or camp might play better there.

    Jump right in. It's all about the action, not the story.

    No, with everything. Not nearly as refined as a console, but it's there!

    I propose GL updates it so

    1. No firing while midair

    2. You take double damage while in air

    That's would balance things out a lot.

    Or just have there be a small chance for an explosion to occur at low shields on damage when someone has a jetpack on, and extra damage from behind.

    No one's believing we'll get a true BF clone, but MC4 or another new FPS with vehicles would be more than enough.

    Exactly how I lost to Paul202(and he using vehicles and OP weapons) and then he wonders how I did so bad :p

    That'll happen in about few weeks when it's off the top 50-100 charts and there won't be that many noobs and everyone's evolving and doing better. It's like when MC3 got double xp there started being more high leveled noobs. And if that does happen that jetpack becomes mainstream then nova will suck so bad, it's like Roar on MC3...

    Also, they should to remove aim-assist on multiplayer. It's pointless.

    AAAAaarrrgh!

    Not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but I'm seriously stuck on the campaign. I'm at the part where you're crossing a bridge, shooting from the back of a vehicle. I must have died about twenty times so far because I just can't see the enemies shooting at me , and the gun sight doesn't seem to respond to touches on the screen very well. I've been close to throwing my iPod out of the window it's getting so frustrating! Anyone else had this problem or am I just a crap player?

    The roar in mc3 is nothing like the jet pack in nova. Don't kid yourself. The roar may be a little overpowered, but it's nothing compared to to the OP.

    I'm able to play and enjoy the campaign on my 3GS, but online multiplayer is to choppy to have fun - winning matches is basically impossible.

    But, I do agree. With more people leveling up, jeypacks are becoming REALLY annoying. I agree with the person that said hey back users take double damage. That would really balance it out alot.

    True... But it was meant as a comparison like Roar is the most op on MC like jetpack is here.

    Yep, they should balance it, more annoying than getting killed by roar noob.

    I'm ashamed to say I've already got auto-aim on! Perhaps its my age - slower reflexes setting in!

    Try turning up the sensitivity - the turrets for some reason are extremely unresponsive.

    Hey guys, is it just me and being happy about GL's first good non-freemium in a while, or does the campaign for nova 3 seem a lot better than most other campaigns from GL? The story isn't so bad, neither is the usually groan worthy (9mm lol) voice acting. It seems to me that the AI, while far from perfect, isn't nearly so
    dumb as that from mc3. I mean if I get behind their cover they'll move away to a different area, and they'll come and find me if I hide, I think. Do you get that impression, too or is it just me?

    Can't wait for that update - with no retina I'll be getting 40-60 fps easy!
