  2. [R8] Modern Strike Online 5/5 · US Best game: I would recommend your 13 year-old playlist if they like to battle with guns
  3. [R10] Modern Strike Online 2/5 · US Here’s a real review.: This game honestly is extremely average. Previews don’t show anything of what the gameplay is. There is no campaign. It’s extremely pay to win and controls are clunky even for a mobile game.
  4. [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.
  5. [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.
  6. [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
  7. [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
  8. [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.
  9. [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
  10. [R22] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Update: Không tải game được

  12. [R1] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US I just can say on thing about this game man: Pay to win
  13. [R3] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · US Fun, But…: Its alot of fun, but its pricey to even upgrade to new weapons.
  14. [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.
  15. [R43] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Important!!!: I played this game for a very long time and invested a lot of money. I took a break for about a year, and all the weapons I had upgraded became ordinary, while the free ones now cost money. This is obviously done to keep people playing and grinding. If you stop, you'll die from a single bullet. That's not all; the gear and weapons I bought and upgraded with money are now obsolete. · translated
  16. [R49] Modern Strike Online 1/5 · US Great game, kinda like counter strike but with armor: Idk why people complain about this game. I had no trouble scoring booko kills with just the stock weapons. I played for days before dropping hundreds of dollars on it to make myself op against other players. But yeah, shooting is automatic for heavens sake. I have no issue with it Updated to one star because I can’t get my account to login and
  17. [R56] Modern Strike Online 5/5 · US LA QUILLO , / NOS PEGABA: TYCO
  18. [R58] Modern Strike Online 2/5 · US LONG TIME PLAYER: it was moderate when the p2w started yea i spent close to 300 on this game to be good now they updated everything again 3rd time this happend and ruined everything. im glad i WASTED my money on such a bad game god it was bareable then now you stole from me
  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. [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
  21. [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
  22. [R73] Pure Sniper 2/5 · US No Internet Connection: I really enjoy playing game but between commercials and no internet connection it’s really useless to keep playing! And it does come at a price because to keep playing you have to keep upgrading the weapons!
  23. [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
  24. [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
  25. [R60] Modern Strike Online 3/5 · GB Controller: It’s a good game I do like it but will there be an update to actually use a controller if you can change this would happily give a 5 star review and rating
