Hey everybody!
Sorry, no news about MC5. I created this post to discuss expectations and post information that doesn't fit on the MC5 page.
(Warning: I don't use a spoiler alert on this page because I think everyone who is on this wiki wants to know every single confirmed detail about Modern combat 5. If you're not one of them, stop reading)
Campaign[]
Everybody is talking about multiplayer, but from my point of view, the campaign is also very interesting.
Characters[]
In videos, we can see four very different squad members. In MC4, Downs, Blake and Walker look almost the same and Anderson has a voice that reminds me of a bad action movie.
So, the characters in MC5:
- Bull (Bald), the squad leader
- Tukura (Looks like B.A.)
- Grey (Black hair)
- Carlisle (Average), likely firing the minigun in the first mission
- Phoenix (?), player
Also, I hope the characters have more personality. In Fallen Nation, there were a couple of jokes per mission. In Zero Hour, it was only "business".
Vehicles[]
I'm also glad that the vehicles in MC5 are waaay more realistic than in MC3 and MC4. The Black Hawk is extremely detailed.
Multiplayer[]
Drones[]
Of course, everybody has seen the radar drone: the little ball that flies a random route and shows enemies on the map. It shares the same button as the grenade. The question is: will this be the "military support", will it replace grenades or will it get a new field?
I think it will replace nothing, so the player will be able to choose:
- a primary weapon
- a secondary weapon
- a grenade
- a mini-drone
- a specialization with an unknown amount of perks
Maybe they will use the same pointstreak system as in MC4 (choose one per row), but I hope we will be able to choose more than three "military supports" (or make them all free like in MC3).
Back to the drone, I think this will have a good effect on the game experience. There will be more variation and I think it adds a little more strategy to the game.
Weapons[]
First: THERE IS A SEMI-AUTOMATIC PISTOL!!! I CAN BE JAMES BOND AGAIN!
The point with the weapons in MC4 is: they are all the same (in terms of appearance). The VECT9, the SOCAR-S, the Compakt, and the E24 are all the same. In MC3, every weapon was unique (except the Bravel-1 and the ACM maybe). The only weapon I really like is the Black Mamba, but it is ruined by the button-press-problem.
At the MC5 concept art (which is also this wiki's background), we can see three types of weapons. I don't like any of them so I hope the artists have no understanding of the content.
A couple of clues that the concept art may not be very accurate:
- The helicopter which is used to take out enemies is a enemy helicopter in the game.
- The characters do not look the same
Interesting facts about the concept art:
- There are more realistic drones
- There is a woman
- The location (Venice) is right
Attachments[]
In the campaign, it is seen in third-person which attachments other characters use. The chance that this will also be in multiplayer is very big. Which means there is a small chance that the game will remind the attachments on weapons of killed players. This way, when the player picks up a weapon from the ground, there are the attachments that the killed player equipped on it.
Graphics[]
Some things I fell in love with:
- The firing effect: the yellow flashes are gone and they added smoke and haze. The first thing I'm gonna do is fire my gun empty and just enjoy...
- The underwater effect: just like in real life
