Hi if Ty TV Hugh New New Efforts Ever D Dnfj.
Havent played this game since we were 11 we love this game Im glad its still the good old classic it used to be a little rough with controls but other than that its still as amazing as we once knew.
Great game, when will mc6 drop been a fan since zero hour mc4 iykyk.
The app was amazing but with the latest update an add pops up after each game and the worst thing yet even that has an X to close the add, the add still there with no way to continue with the game. We paid for the app. Why we have to watch adds and now Im not able to play without having to re open the app after each match. Sad because the game was really good. But if this is not fix Im deleting the app.
Always love these games since the first one that they get increasingly difficult technically what we miss is the Loan? Shooter scenario Have you ever thought about doing a modern combat World War II? Just an idea. Have you ever thought about doing a modern combat World War II? Just an idea.
We have bee playing this game since 2019 and honestly the graphics are good.
Best fps Ive played in years good control good graphics great game!! U gotta get it.
Awesome graphics, lots of things to do, not bombing with adds, lots of weapon selection, options of weapons and customization. We really like the game with story. As of now, its our number one game.
Ok so we hurt our finger and this game is so good it's like we never hurt our finger. Action 10/10 weapons 10/10 everything else 10/10 if you do not have this game get it now.
We love this game so much but the ads it way too much.
Love the game! And its the first game that we got used to use gyroscope aiming its alittle ruff at first but its fun now(dont have controller peripheral) but Im rating it a 3 star because it constantly crashes or freezes after a video for extra cash/weapons adding whatever, but it doesnt crash or freeze up when it the forced ads. And ads also pops up in middle of gameplay(games does pause or anything and in multiplayer we cant do anything about it, just let it play until it finishes and hope we dont die or get found an killed). Fix those probs and itll be a 5 star and Ill definitely get others to play too! Thanx for the fun and all! *updated= also when we tap the crouch button it turns us around and Im aiming at the ground( that really stinks when in the middle of a firefight)… We gave you a 5 star now just cause we really like the game.
LOVE IT- except for the CONSTANT ADS every time you EXIT A MULTIPLAYER OR STORYLINE BATTLE! Its so ANNOYING! Otherwise, great game.
Had a great experience playing, but not a fan of occasional ads that remove sound which can only be reversed by closing and reopening the app.
The game is good but ads pop up every few mins. Cant enjoy the game at all. Waste of time and space.
Nice game we started from MC3 now we came back for MC5 we dont wish to be disappointed with ads n all that.
We have bee playing this game since 2019 and honestly the graphics are good.
Bad game bring back the mc 4 its better we miss it bruh.
We like the game and the campaign is great.
Love this shooter awesome game absolute cinema.
Mi cuenta estaba con mi Facebook y ahora no us quiere cargar con mi Facebook y empezar de nuevo no us gustara.
Game is good, but we hate them ads, always ad pop ups every second. Overall game is really good, but dont like the ads.
Please, give us back brothers in arms 3, or just BIA4… Brothers in arms is the best of best. Please.
You need this game. If youre a shooter game kinda guy. MC5 is the game for you. This game is amazingly fun, and it doesnt need much skill to play on mobile. You should absolutely play MC5 mobile.
Honestly our favorite mobile game for almost If not a decade.
We love the campaign, please add more to it.
We love the modern combat franchise, but we miss playing the previous installments, and the others games yall created in the past. Could they possibly be updated to the current iOS. Instead of being gone forever, or having to do the boring process of jailbreaking and stuff. Please.
We need another fantastic war game like modern combat 5 maybe a modern combat 6 with some Afghanistan warfare kinda play you know with a more advanced graphics more stages more story line and off course more battle modern combat our best 1st person shooter since 2016 we first played it. Last year we ended the campaign mode we really need something new its still our favorite of all time shaa.

Best shooter on mobile hands down. We played the midnight out this game and it helped pass time as well because its so good. We remember millions of times being tapped on the shoulder to get out the game to feed our babygirl who is now a teen. Great game and we would say just keep it simply whee it is. Add more clothing and gunz.
Ive played since 2015 Ive been away for awhile now but Ive decided to come back in 2025 cause we see how much improvements been made.
This game if it get removed we are going to crash out.
We have played this game twice already and Im downloading it for the third time because we havent found any better shooting action FPS game like this. We love it so much. Kudos to the the developers.
This was, hands down, one of the best mobile gaming experiences Ive ever played. All of the modern combat games were great. Theyre basically clones of CoD campaigns, but with original stories. As mobile FPS campaigns go, this is one of the best.
OH MY GOSH JHON PORK WAS PLAYING THIS GAME HE SIAD TO HIS CHAT IS THIS A W THEY SAID YES SO GET THIS ITS SO SKIBIDI.
How about when you all think this game is about entirely done, you downgrade it to be the way it was before the 2015 Halloween update. That might catch A LOT of attention. Go back to your roots. It was a much better game. 2025: It's insane how much this dragged on for. It was 100% in its origin a great game. The 5 star is for Pre-Halloween 2015.
We used to play this game, and a little recently we felt we couldnt play from the amount of Pay To Win content, and other things. We have been thinking lately, and we want to relive the nostalgia, one of our first Mobile FP Shooter games. We remember the joy we felt when our team would win, or when we would be the MVP of the match. We always loved the game for its campaign also, since to us it was the coolest thing ever. We have some expectations for this game, now that its been updated (around a week at this point).
The game is wonderful peak in short. But sometimes when we try to claim the rewards of daily challenges, open packs and battle pass the game just doesnt claim it and when we exit and return its all goooone.
Currently, due to identity theft our Apple account was closed and we are unable to download the updated version of MC5, is there anyway around receiving the updated version.
We like this game but it has unfair matchmaking, we just download it, so Im currently at level 10 but in match we meet players with diamond or gold league. We know most of Gun Games are like that but its totally unfair for new players. But still, its a good game and sorry for our English.
Used to be a great Game but now we get ads everytime our screen changes. Even between matches, by the time the ad is over the game is 3 kills in. Our bf downloaded it and doesnt get any ads not sure whats going on.
Need to bring back team battles.
We tried to like this game we really did! Similar mechanics to CODM. What turned us off is the sheer amount of ads. Every matchgoing in an out of screens its just so obnoxious it took away the fun. We were even willing to pay a small amount to get rid of the ads. Going back to CODM.
We used to play this game back in 2018. We are gonna start playing again from today. So, we were hoping this game wont be ever deleted like the modern combat versus did. We used to play modern combat versus too but not as much as Modern Combat 5. We love this game. This was the first mobile gun game we ever played and enjoyed. Please dont delete the game and keep up the good work.
Please help / fix / call. Im just beginning again and the app is forcing us to tap certain buttons but then does not allow us to click another option after opening the chest. Ive tried another apple device, updated our phone, tried to reach support and did everything else. Please call and fix.
We really need this game to be more than call of duty and the rest of other shooting games and this game does not need to have an ending please work on that.
