The online play is a cross between the first Modern Warfare’s leveling system and Counter-Strike’s money system. These multiplayer modes run the gamut of what gamers have come to expect from a $60 FPS with your standard team deathmatch and free-for-all along with objective-based game types like Boom and Bust (one team tries to set off a bomb while the other defends), Escort (kill the opposing team’s leader), Extraction (capture the flag), and Domination (territories). The game includes five maps and six multiplayer modes. In truth, MCD offers a great deal considering the budget price and, graphically, it’s surprisingly solid. Credit to Gameloft for producing such a game for those with limited means, but the rest of us are probably better off saving for a slightly more expensive, but refined option.MCD is strictly a multiplayer experience, so only competitive FPS fans need apply however, that’s not to say that it skirts on content. In all fairness I don’t have a Move controller, so couldn’t test how this worked, but I personally have no major issues with dual shock controls either way.Īs we said before: it’s cheap and you get what you pay for.

Most FPSer gamers aren’t going to care about this, because these days multiplayer is where it’s at, but those who still like a single player mode tacked-on, be warned.Ī major plus is the game features Move support, so owners of that underutilized peripheral can enjoy a competent FPS with it. There’s also no single player mode of note at all. We could be picky and point out a relatively sticky control scheme, which might put off those used to more fluid or precise controls, or a general lack of atmosphere or inspiration in the game, but this is a Gameloft game, and expecting anything else would have been unreasonable. Leveling happens at a decent pace, neither too quickly nor too slowly, but you are going to have to play a bunch of games if you want to get anywhere. The now-traditional experience and unlock system is present and correct, and for the committed, reasonably rewarding.

Loading times are also appalling – ruling the game out as any kind of pick-up-and-play time waster, but at least that gives you the chance to catch up on the news between matches.

Combined with a slow movement speed, and there are moments of loneliness when playing this game, even with the full 8×8 matchup – disappointing for a genre designed for action. The concentration of combat on the maps is all over the place, and there are times where there is nothing to shoot anywhere near by. More damningly, it’s easy to see the same level of care that goes into the map construction of a Call of Duty title just isn’t present in this game. There’s a very limited range of maps – only five on the always popular team deathmatch mode. It’s smooth, clean and playable, but really, that’s not enough. Not that there’s anything outright wrong about the game. On the PlayStation Network, it’s coming up against a whole lot of very, very good competition.

On the iPad and iPhone, the Modern Combat series stands out as being amongst the best on the format. This is why racing games and FPSers are generally the developer/ publisher’s best output. When not burdened by the need to create an interesting story, when music is not a concern, and when having a decent engine run glitch-free is the most important element to get right, Gameloft shines. Modern Combat: Domination is the kind of game Gameloft does well. If you’re a PlayStation Plus member, this game will cost less than $AUS10.
