After a week or so of no updates from Gameloft on Modern Combat 5, we\'ve recently gotten new information including two screenshots showing off some multiplayer action as well as some details on the Squad vs. Squad mode that\'s coming to the game when it is released for later this Summer. In addition to the Squad vs. Squad mode, there will be four other core modes that can be played -- Capture The Flag, VIP, Free For All, and lastly Team Battle -- each with a maximum of twelve players all at once. Apart from these five different multiplayer options, there will also be limited-time events and leaderboard to see how you and your squad rank amongst everyone else. For more information, be sure to check out what we were provided from Gameloft.Squad vs. Squad
MC5 will bring competitive team battles to the next level, with persistent squads formed by players. You can join squads with your friends or any other player you meet online, then take your squad online against other squads from around the world. Strategy and team balancing will be key, and players within a squad will have their own dedicated squad chat to talk to each other and plan their tactics. There is also a global chat function which allows you to talk to anyone.
Limited-Time Events
Like most Gameloft games, there will be special Limited Time Events (LTE’s) for both the individual player and their squad that allow you to win special prizes across several tiers, depending on the LTE’s objectives.
Leaderboards
There will be global and local leaderboards for individual players, and a global squad leaderboard. LTE’s will also have their own leaderboards which will help define winners of those events.
Just like we mentioned before, there will be unified progression between the multiplayer and single player modes, so any weapons and items unlocked or levels achieved in single player will be reflected in multiplayer and vice versa. Controller support will also be implemented in the game, but not immediately at launch this Summer. Overall Modern Combat 5 appears to be progressing really well so far and we\'re really excited to see it land on the App Store.
After much anticipation, we finally now have brand new, hot-off-the press details on Gameloft’s upcoming first-person shooter Modern Combat 5: Blackout. While these details do not highlight everything about the game, they do cover two important features -- unified progression and the character classes. Just like previous titles in the Modern Combat franchise, Modern Combat 5: Blackout will feature both a single player campaign as well as multiplayer modes. This time around, players will notice that player progression doesn’t just happen in multiplayer, but also in single player. Experience points gained by completing single player missions will help level up your character across both modes and vice-versa. Every match or mission you play also increases your weapon score, leading up to the ability to master individual weapons. In addition, better weapons will unlock as you play the game and once they are unlocked, a weapon can be used in both single player and multiplayer. Onto soldier classes, we are told that there are 4 classes you can play as in Modern Combat 5: Blackout. When you level up in single or multiplayer, you will receive Skill Points which are unique to each class. Lastly, players can chose from various upgradeable skills and perks to further increase their class stats. Here’s a quick breakdown of the classes:
