  6. [R3] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · US Fun, But…: Its alot of fun, but its pricey to even upgrade to new weapons.
  7. [R4] Modern Strike Online 2/5 · US Unfair matches: I’m only a level 45 player and keep getting paired with players in the high 60’s. I refuse to pay to play. I had more fun working up to this level but now find the matches impossible to play and advance.
  8. [R15] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · US Glitches: When I was playing the game unfortunately it keeps logging me out of the whole game! On my apple iPad
  9. [R16] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Was great until: Was good until I got a rental item and couldn’t get off the screen does anyone have a solution
  10. [R19] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Worst than pineapple on pizza: This game is horrible I tried to move kept lagging again and again I tried to shoot and I needed to zoom in 2 times and My screen was moving faster than light+sound combined and I deleted it wrist game ever
  11. [R22] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Update: Không tải game được
  12. [R9] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · US To many offers: After every match it’s offer after offer and I have to exit each offer to start the match.
  13. [R18] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · US Fun but…: Game is fun but a lot of in game pop ups/sales and then you have the people who must get paid to play because it really comes down to how much money you can spend. Add/reduce costs for in game purchases and I’ll spend real money. I cant justify spending $50 for a gun…on a game…on my phone.
  14. [R21] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · US To many pop ups!: I finally finished a game and I saw a pop up I closed it and another one over and over again and it was so overwhelming
  15. [R12] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · US ?: Wish I can play my black bone game controller so I’m not saying this is a bad game. I feel like it’ll make it more easy for me playing it.
  16. [R25] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US No Controller support: Without the support of a controller gameplay on here is just not fun. Touch screen controls doesn’t give you an immersive experience like a controller does. Analog is better and the precision is better too. Supposedly this game supports controller support however, that’s not the case. No controller support is present which makes the game not worth playing l. Codm stays on to
  17. [R40] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US No game controllers: Guys, I tried to play this with my controller and it wouldn’t work and there’s so many other games that you can’t play with a game controller. PLEASEEEEE

  19. [R13] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Pay to win: when I start playing the game, it seems really cool but the more rounds I played two more times and I realize i’m getting one shot then I realize there are these guns that you have to pay to get and they are insane and I try winning, but I can’t because the guns can just one shot anyone who tries to go near them so I upgraded my gun to max everything and I was still being one shotted t
  20. [R46] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Pay to Win: Super pay to win game. Every gun that you can pay for just one shot kills everyone else. So instead of having a fun game play. You just spend the whole game dying because you can hardly have the chance to fight back.
  21. [R64] World War Heroes 1/5 · US Unbalanced: Overall this game is amazing . Really one of the best game out in the App Store. Unfortunately this game is if you have spend money in order to level out the playing field . All the online player which is every match have top of the line weapon upgrade . It’s unfortunate because I really like this game . These unbalanced player takes the fun out of this game I have a regular sniper or
  22. [R42] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · GB Latest upgrade shows greed: This game has been my go to for ages and I don’t mind the pop ups of “offers” as you can easily cross them off. However, the latest update forces you to watch and ad before you can go into another game. Like most games there is an element of P2W but the Artemis bow takes the biscuit. £100 bow that guarantees to win any fire fight. That to me is highly annoying but hey h
  23. [R31] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Bad: Donest work says it has to update and take me to the Apple Store, but just open it doesn’t say update
  24. [R34] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Garbage: Downloaded after Infinity Ops died, very disappointed. Lags, glitches, and now says I need to update, but no update available. Don’t bother. Shame they killed a good game for this ad laden garbage.
  25. [R47] Modern Strike Online 5/5 · US I don’t know why is not letting me play?: It’s a really good game it is really fun but now it says version outdated and when I go to the App Store it doesn’t says anything of a new version but it’s fun but I think I will need to delete and reinstall but I still love the game.
