[View Web Version] It's controller time in MC5! Modern Combat 5 Goes Free:

Same Competitive FPS, More Awesome Content Controller Support, A New Soldier Class,

New Weapon Class & More Players Come To MC5 The doors of Modern Combat 5: Blackout, an App Store Best of 2014, are open to all players & we're bringing massive amounts of content with the change!



Here's what the MC5 Product Manager has to say about the new update: "This update makes Modern Combat 5 available for free to millions of new players, and adds controller support, more weapons, a new class and more. All of our current players are getting Veteran status, with unlimited energy, and some other goodies as a thank you for their support. Ultimately, the switch to free-to-play means the game will have a longer lifetime, so we can invest more in the long-term update plan and in the servers which need to support a significantly larger player base. One thing we’re not messing with is the competitive balance players have come to expect in Modern Combat." -Valeriu Ispir, Product Manager The update for Modern Combat 5: Blackout is available on iOS & coming soon to Android. The team created a dev diary to detail the new content! New Soldier Class: Support Combat skills include: Heal : drop a health box that heals himself and nearby allies for a period of time Purge : debuffs like EMP, Slow and Flashbang have reduced durations Bloodlust : healing starts after performing a kill and is amplified Solid Grip : stability increases the more you shoot the weapon Emergency Reload : increased reload speed when below 15% ammo in clip Endurance : player's movement is increased when using a light machine gun (LMG) Synergy Perk : players who die within a certain area around the Support will get the option to respawn on their death spot

New Weapon Class: the Light Machine Gun (LMG) Used by the Support class Slightly higher rate of fire than the submachine gun and delivers slightly more damage than an assault rifle, but has lower accuracy than all the other weapons

New Weapon Tier 6th tier weapons now available for all weapon classes

New Multiplayer Game Mode: Zone Control Based on capturing zones placed in certain areas of each map The team that manages to secure a zone starts to score points To secure a zone, a team member needs to stay a certain amount of time in that particular zone. More teammates in the zone shortens the time needed to capture it. If an enemy enters the zone, the capture progress resets The more zones you secure, the more points you get and the shorter the way to victory

Controller Support Standard, formfitting and extended controllers

New Character Customization Options Such as weapon camos, masks and perks, solo and squad logos & kill signs

Server Updates: New servers in different geographical locations will help decrease lag and provide a better multiplayer experience. A player's internet connection remains extremely important, but our server split will provide the basis for more fluent multiplayer gaming.
