Modern Combat 5 Reviews

by Bigcheeki Boi

back then I used to love this game when I was like 10 years old u would easily have grind time the next gun with do instead of blueprints which are annoying to get since it’s just a pay to win game and have to grind all ur money away to get this prestige gun thats really rare and a lot people use. The one other thing is just plz just plz fix some gun like the shotgun turret that shoots u like 60meters away and takes away 25 hp away from you and not just give this oooh cool gold skin bec a lot of turret class people like to use this turret. Just instead of making ooh cool zombie events or selling gold skins or jades just fix the game instead. Also one other big gun to fix is the severance shotgun for the love of god it’s way too OP like the reload speed is way to quick when it has 14 bullets and the fire rate just please turn it down just a bit. One other problem that u might not notice to is maybe the rank. Like when I’m in diamond league there’s sometimes bronze or silver people in my game that are level 10 that are just starting the game and it’s not rare at all I’ve seen it like 5 times in 10 rounds in total. Like I’ve tried to switch to codmobile but it’s kinda the same but there putting to many updates in that some of the guns are too over powered. All would I ask for is just to put the guns like MCV where u would grind for a gun or class maybe I’m not trying to sound angry but just fix some issues and not just pay to win stuff instead.

DO NOT PURCHASE IN APP FEATURES!!!!!!!!

I have been paying $12 for veteren feature for 8 years and past 2 months the power energy unlimited has not been added waisting 2 months payment on literally the same things and missing power feature. This is misleading purchase! spoke to customer support and they only send game points which is useless and cost for points is less than $1 but i have paid for full strength in game but they only credited for points which i dont use and only acknoledged 1 month payment. I have said this is the second month you have not given me the feature i paid for. All i ask now is refund the last 2 months payments and ill delete ModernCombat5 for good. This is waste of my time and every new player. Keep in mind the customer support are giving insufficient information as to why they cannot send the full features i paid for. The issue is. They receive the monthly payments on TIME BUT CANNOT GIVE BACK WHAT WE PAY FOR. REDICULUS. THIS IS LAST TIME I MESSAGED THEM AND THE LAST MESSAGE I WILL EVER REVIEW ON THIS GAME AND END OF ROAD FOR ME. I RATHER PLAY WITH RATS THEN KNOW YOU DISTRESSED ME TO THE POINT OF WAITING FOR 2 MONTHS AND HAD TO GET A TRANSLATED TO TYPE THIS

This game was one of my favorite games to play. But now it’s getting to be one of the worst games. The biggest issue that I’m seeing is that you don’t earn enough coins when playing in team plays or any other games. Now the biggest problem is that my WiFi sign at the top of the page goes red and they can kill you but you can’t kill them. I was being told that it was my WiFi but it’s not I had my internet company come out to look over everything and nothing is wrong I’m getting 100 mbps so no problem there. So it’s the game...... so when that happens you have to stop the game and clear it out and then restart another game and lose any coins that you could have earned. Fix the game or take it down..................... over a month later and another update and update to the game and still have the same problem. Your WiFi symbol at the top of the screen goes red and you can’t kill anyone but they can still kill you. Now after the update every time I try to play the game and it brings ModernCombat5 up it tells me to update the game and it’s already been updated. This game is a piece of junk and if they don’t get their crap together I’m going to delete. Other than that the game is a really fun game just not when all the failure starts happening and you have to lose the game you started.

Okay, so first if all, this game isn’t really bad. There’s nice graphics, and it’s a pretty good shooter for a mobile game. But, Gameloft is greedy, and that ruins the fun. For example, I was saving up for a really cool bundle. But as I progressed in the game it got harder. I replayed one level 20 times before I passed it, and I spent credits cause I got so fired up about it. At one point I slammed my iPhone on the floor, point being that the game is literally set up so that it’s all a trap they want you to spend money because they’re a bunch of greedy hogs. The harder the game gets, the more angry you get at the game, the more money you spend, on credits for a full recharge of energy, just for the whole thing to happen again. If I don’t see improvements soon I’m taking the game off my phone. Another thing, ads. I’ve never seen so many ads in one game. Every time one goes away, another comes up. Ads are another way they get money, and that’s why they want to jack it up with them. So they get money! Games like clash of clans make twice as much money as you because they don’t make players rage on there phones and spend like $60+ on stupid credits. But, I’m gonna be fair, and if you ask me on gameplay and graphics or even ease of controls I’d give it a 4 out of 5.

Really wanted to give 5 stars but since they sold out and followed the greedy trend just 2. I’ve been a fan of Modern combat since I found it a few years back. It was unbelievable how great the game was if not better then COD! But now with MC5 you have to spend $$$ to advance. Worst route any company can do! You lose more $$$ then you make. Now a days it seems like people are trying to make gaming as bad and as addictive as gambling! I refuse to play games like this, sure the games are great except the fact the game is scamming / hustling me to keep playing and spend money.

I’d rather just buy $1-$10 game the gameplay is always better. I get the company is trying to make $$$ but there’s good / smart ways and dumb / greedy ways like this! Make more games, take better care of your employees so there cost of living is low and you can pay them lower wages. Invest in the right resources so your over head is low. And don’t be greedy, greedy people and companies lose more money then they make! The biggest class is the poor so why screw them? Take care of them and they will take care of you, win, win.

I have had many convos with gameloft about the point system many players agree that to maintain diamond in multiplayer is nearly impossible. I have had Games where I had 17 kills and 3 deaths and got a negative 28 points!!! WHY????? There is and should not be any excuse for this. There are times in vip where there are only two vs two and I beat the vip 50-0 and have 9 kills and 0 deaths and then get -32 points!!!!! This needs to be fixed or ill def delete and quit the game!!! Another issue is the game quits in duel mid game I have good reception and or good WiFi it has happened over 20 times and each time if I were to finish duel at the most usually I get on 2 points to win but if I unexpectedly leave the game I lose 10 points I have lost over 200 points. I have deleted and reinstalled the game 9 times already. It’s sad that I let this bother me but all these issues are only a few that I gave to deal with. I want these issues to be fixed so that I can enjoy the game. Just like the game says before each start. “Keep calm and have fun this I just a game”. I don’t know how that is possible!! Later I’m SUPASTAR!!!!!

I love this game. I bought it long ago when it was for sale and have been playing it for years! The problems though are not being fixed. 1. Reporting a player for hacking should not be as time consuming as it is. When you playing multiplayer matches, the only way to report is when the match is over and you have the time that’s counting down to the next match to select who hacked, what category, and write a description. Maybe just leave it at the category. There are usually always multiple hackers and you only get to report one by the time the time runs out. 2. I’m playing on an iPad mini 4th gen and each time I log on I have to switch the subtitles in setting to on or off so the audio will work. Same for each and every match I play. The newest update though, when I do that, the button for return to game disappears so I can’t get back to the game. It’s been like this for months. Please fix it. Thank you for trying a new mode and bigger map. I’m getting excited!

Lemme start off by saying that i used to LOVE this game. At the time it was pretty much one of the only good FPS’s on ModernCombat5 store at the time. I dont mind in game purchases that much, just as long as i have fun. Campaign great. Multiplayer is alright. Battle royale is great to. But time and time again it can get a little boring after a while. One of the main reasons why was when i bought the game on my switch. One thing already, its $20 for a free game on phone. Gameloft does not update the switch version, meaning it gets really boring after a while. No horde mode, no battle royale. Just multiplayer and campaign. And on the switch the fps and graphics are dumbed down alot. This discouraged me to play the game at all even on my phone. Then I finally decided to re-download mc5 on my phone. I realized how much more it has than switch. All i ask is a little more performance on the switch. I am okay with playing on my phone, but playing a game like this on my switch will be amazing. There is a few things you would have to update on switch. 1. When you run, the camera should not zoom in that far. 2. Fps is crazy and all over the place. And then 3. Other game modes, and updates regularly. Great game, just please update the switch version more. I would like to read your response.

Let me start off with the simple stuff, this game is awesome and have amazing graphics. This is a game that I USED to enjoy. I don't know why your updates make it harder and I am level 92 in the game by the way. I enjoyed this game a lot and played it with my siblings almost everyday. But those were old times. The update you guys put out were making the game harder. It was no longer fun. I wish you guys can put out an update which you can customize your buttons. I like playing with four fingers and not two. This game has become into a pay-to-win game. I don't like getting blueprints to get guns. I want to go back to the old days when we used xp to unlock guns. This game changed the way I played games. Then games like critical ops and bullet force came out. Those games are not the pay to win like this game. All and all, please update it back to the old times. This game doesn't suit me anymore. Maybe if you update it back to the old times I will come back and play it again to enjoy the old memories that I had. Oh well goodbye guys.

This game isn’t bad by any means, The gameplay is fun, and the graphics are fairly good for an iOS game, however, it shoves to many ads in your face and it try’s to get you to purchase too many things to improve your gameplay. Yes, you can earn most of the things in the shop however if you buy them it won’t take anywhere near as long. That is where this game is flawed, it’s too pushy about wanting you to buy things so you can progress faster, for example I’ve played this game for about an hour and already I’ve had eight ads wanting me to watch a video so I can earn a special currency to quickly progress through the game to buy new weapons, Skins, helmets, etc. All I think, is that you shouldn’t pollute your game with ads and other things that just want you to spend money, please don’t ruin your game with a pay to win agenda. Once again, I love this game it has easily become one of my favorites and I don’t want to delete it because it gets too annoying and frustrating from ad after ad.

Ok the title maybe make me look like a crybaby but it’s true the game is just unfair in a lot of ways like there is a energy bar witch runs out so fast you can only play like 2 rounds of the campaign Then you can only play the multiplayer witch I don’t like it needs a lot of work all I play is the campaign and I think I’m on one of the last missions right and it’s supposed to hard but you have to clear rooms by opening then door then throwing a flash bang in then it’s all slow motion like the modern warfare games but the last one you have to do is just dumb you have to try’s and there is a guy wit a bomb on him you have to shoot him before he detonates the bomb and you have to hip fire it because the game aiming is so delayed when you go in slow motion because even shooting him in the head after you aim you fail the mission even hip firing is hard the aiming is to slow and some of the missions are to easy and some of them are way to hard the only thing that makes the game good is of course the graphics some of the best I have ever seen in a game I also play cod mobile so that’s another reason why I don’t like the multiplayer and there is so many things good and bad in the game

I love this game. But it has slowly gotten worse. With every update they milk more money out of the player. You can avoid this with lots of grinding and watching ads. I’ve been playing this game for a few years but with every year that passes the more expensive it is to get good gear. When I first got this game I said I wouldn’t buy anything but now I’ve spent about 35$ on the game. It’s to hard to get good gear with out spending money in the game and the good gear is op and almost impossible to beat if you are just starting the game. I feel like they should cut the time that it takes to buy blue prints in haft but keep the time that it takes to buy armor the same. That’s just something that I think would make the game much more fun and enjoyable for players that just started and wouldn’t make it to easy to get op gear. Other then the pay to win aspects of the game it’s a totally amazing game. If not for the pay to win then this game would be a perfect 5/5 stars this the best mobile games I’ve ever played. If you want to avoid spending money on the game your going to have to put endless hours of grinding into the game.

This is a great game. I am not gonna lie. It gets a little bit repetitive when you don’t have any new missions to do, but it is a VERY exciting game, but this is more of a request, and it is not about this game. It is about Modern Combat 3. I know it is older and the graphics aren’t as realistic, but I have loved that one for years. It was my second favorite mobile app ever for a long time (when I was crazy into cars), but then, one day... “Modern Combat 3 cannot be played until updated.” I deleted it to make room for new apps even though I didn’t want to. I tried to get it back one day, and to my surprise, I couldn’t find it anywhere! I don’t know what it is, but there was something about the game that I just loved so much. So if it is possible, please bring that game back. I want more mobile military games with an actual campaign, and that game almost always comes to mind. Modern Combat 5 is still good though. It’s a great game, but I also want to go back to the good ol’ days. Thanks for reading this review!

I used to love this game. It was really fun and I got to play with different people from all around the world. But the ads. I do not mind the ads, but it gets annoying when the ads either buffer for so long, or they suddenly go back like 5 seconds , so I’m essentially watching the same ad for over double the amount of time. If I spend double the time watching the same ad, I should get double the rewards. There are also incidences when you watch ads for rewards and it states that your connection was low so you cannot watch the ad. If they are going to guarantee you a reward for watching an ad, you cannot simply not provide an ad for the player to watch. This sort of problem needs to be fixed. I sure hope an update will come soon because I just don’t get the rewards I want when I do what’s asked.
Also, the beta version of Battle Royale was really fun, but for some reason, after they updated ModernCombat5 , the game just stoped working. It seems to be on an endless loop of loading. How could this sort of thing happen, if you just recently updated an app that is supposed to fix bug issues or just simply maintenance. Anyway, I hope this kind of problem is solved soon, otherwise this would be a really crappy game.

I love this game. The multiplayer part is obviously the main focus of the game. It is however beyond me why it is online only. The Story mode is single player only. So why on earth make this game online only. At least put an offline practice mode as an option. AI skirmish. Also, would be cool to add more Melee and Mobility options for the player. If another player activates a Melee kill, add a counter move. Such as a over the shoulder toss followed by an execution style head shot. But the countering player must tap the action icon quickly. This could also be used by Melee attackers. Far as mobility, slides, wall run climes on added higher platforms, back to the wall cover and such. I love this game, but again, a SINGLE PLAYER ONLINE STORY MODE DOSE NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. GET REAL PEOPLE!! I don't mind using my memory to have the offline option. I would hop up and down if this option come to be. NOT LYING! THANKS FOR A GREAT GAME. I WISH I WERE AS KNOWLEDGEABLE AND TALENTED AS YOU GUYS. DON'T HOLD BACK, SHOW YOUR TALENT AS FAR AS YOU CAN TAKE IT, AND THEN SURPASS THAT.

I have played Gameloft’s games since the original modern combat and they get better every game, but MC5’s campaign was a bit disappointing, in the fact that to move on you had to do multiple spec ops missions that sort of waste time. Another aspect I don’t like is the fact it requires WiFi or data to play. One of the things I found so great about the past MC franchise games was they were FPS games that could be played anywhere and their campaigns had great replayability. I like the more classic linear style of the older games. Overall, as a veteran player of these games, I like the old style much more. And maybe in the next version of this or even NOVA, introduce a difficulty system like Call of Duty or Halo. And DO NOT REQUIRE WIFI TO PLAY! Otherwise, it’s an awesome game. And maybe try an open world multiplayer? I may be asking a lot but I consider Gameloft one of the best developers and I know they can do that. WiFi is good for multiplayer, but not the campaign. And also introduce an air combat mission? Love the series, keep up the great work!

I love this game, everyday play and never get enough of it, how can u ruin such an amazing game by a badge called infiltrator! I believe either u don't play it, or if u do, u don't love it urself too. Cuz if u just play it once, u can see how infiltrator making the whole game ridiculously more ridiculous than ridiculous! I'm not saying these because I don't have it cuz I have many of that, but just don't use, because it's not fair to other players. I understand that u put such an update to increase your revenue but this approach would not get u anywhere because of the awful long term effects it would have. Come on guys u made enough money out of it now please admit it's a bad idea and remove it. I still love this game if you remove that crazy update and I'm sure plenty of guys out there are the same. Please please please do the right thing and give us our beautiful game back!

Personally, the best FPS game in ModernCombat5 Store. I don’t see how anyone can’t love this game. It runs perfectly, plays smoothly, controls are easily adaptable and controllable, plenty of characters to fit you’re tactical needs— seriously, the developers need a big reward. They weren’t lowing when they said it takes the best from COD. Just one easily fixable issue: the knife button is tricky to control. Because you have to be a certain distance and direction for it to work, knifing is one of the hardest things to do in-game. A suggestion would be to enable knifing all the time like any other control, but you still have to be a certain distance and direction for it to work. It would make it way more controllable and easy to handle instead of getting blasted by a shotgun once they realize you were trying to knife them. Keep it up and try introducing some new characters you can have through leveling up (or buying... be sure to mention what level). Also try new combinations of weapons and abilities for the new characters. Thanks for reading.

New update is messing with everything. Some guns fire slower and your hits don’t always register. Me and another player were shooting each other, NOT MOVING, for like 30 seconds and neither of us were taking ANY damage. Finally his shot registered and killed me but nothing else worked.

Point system is all wrong. Capture the flag for instance, one match I played I killed the most on my team and we won the game! All I got was 3 points. It is based off the kills of the other enemy as well. If someone on the other team kills more than you, you could even get negative points even if you win and are top team player. Not based much on weather you win or capture the enemies flag or support a team mate that has it.

Last man standing kills should be huge! If that player wins you the game after he or she is the last alive! Those should be never awarded negative points. Never! Worst feeling in game. Beat it for your team and still get points deducted. I get it’s based on player matching but it’s more than that too. You should never see those points. It should be behind the scenes.

by Meisterdibbles

This game is awesome don’t get me wrong it one thing that bothers me is that on multiplayer you can’t choose your game mode and map and then join a server with players that picked the same map and game mode that you did. On games like pixel gun and blitz brigade
And battlefront one and two you can which makes them more popular
Also it needs to be easier to get guns and to unlock classes otherwise for people like me who have those almost instant kill laser weapons that are almost impossible to get it will be just too easy and that’s another thing. Competition. So you have guys like me who get lucky and unlock an op weapon early on in the game and then those other people who get awful weapons. So for me I enjoy using lower tier weapons to challenge myself more. But for other players who aren’t as good they are having a difficult time leveling up. So please take away those op weapons and make the game more fun. Please take this into consideration. THX

Update. Finally a update and none of the complaints have been addressed. All glitching is still present. Even more so now. Game still unbalanced. Apple Watch support removed. Takes longer to load. Smh Pathetic...
This game is the worst modern combat ever. Completely unbalanced. Way too many hackers. Non of the complaints by the users are even being acknowledged. It makes no sense why the game is multiplayer only on wifi when my lte speeds are faster than most wifi networks. And the constant disconnects from the network keep wasting my energy to prevent me from playing the game. The ads between every screen are soo annoying. They knock u out to he app then u have to go back with means ModernCombat5 has to reload to then be bombarded with more ads. No I don't wanna play forza or see it every time I'm switching the screen. It's not even a iOS game so stop spamming me with it. When will they realize this makes people not want to have anything to do with whatever they're trying to advertise. It takes way too long to get any decent weapon to compete with all the hackers. All in all this game is being deleted. No one even plays this crap any more. Done.
