Modern Combat 5: Blackout launches in the Play Store ditches IAP’s Thankfully

Gameloft‘s highly anticipated first person shooter Modern Combat 5: Blackout has made its debut on the Play Store today. Unlike its predecessor MC5 is back to a regular ‘purchase it and be done’ style of game. Meaning you won’t be dropping cash on the game just so you can spend more cash in the game.

The new title brings 4 character classes that you can work to level up as you play. The classes are similar to most war game styled classes with Assault, Heavy, Recon and Sniper. You level up through single player and multiplayer with a traditional XP accumulation and unlock higher-tier weapons when you master the lower tier ones. Much like Battlefield 4, each weapon can also be customized with a variety of attachments to enhance your gaming experience. The multiplayer aspect of the title brings in Squad vs. Squad matches and you can squad and global chats.

From what I have seen over the last few weeks, Modern Combat 5: Blackout looks to be the best version to date. Be prepared for the premium title to carry the premium price tag of $6.99. It should be well worth the money, especially since there aren’t any in-app purchase tucked inside. The download is rather large so you might want to have Wi-Fi available before you pick it up. Also something else to note is that an internet connection is required to play the game. So says the description notes. I assume this is to verify and validate your copy to help prevent thievery, much like what went down over the weekend.
