One issue I was having was the fire button being in the realm of where I liked to swipe my thumb across to shift my view, so sometimes instead of moving around I ended up firing at a wall or something. It’s not the best, but it’s certainly far from the worst out there. The smoothness of when you move your view around is also something you have to get used to. But that obviously has to do with level design and they didn’t want me to take that shortcut, so I understand why they’d want to do that. Cos, y’know, battle hardened soldiers can’t make the step over office chairs.
You can also jump over things in certain instances, although this doesn’t have the broadest application, since at one point I happened to get stuck behind a desk chair. However, MC3 is obviously trying to make you as comfortable as possible with using the touch screen controls. Now, I like my physical controllers for shooters, I like having that tactile feel because I find it easier to be accurate. You can shift the buttons around the screen and make them bigger or smaller, pretty much anything you want to do. The controls for MC3 are customisable with you either being able to move or aim on the left or right entire side of the screen, have just the move joystick on the bottom left sight, or have two ‘joysticks’ on the bottom left and right. Among this adjustable mode there is also gore, lefty mode, radar, hitmarker and hints. Besides, you can always turn it off if you want. I know that a lot of people don’t like assisted aiming, but to be honest I think this is a good inclusion for the game, considering the inaccuracy of moving the aim by swiping on the screen. They’ve got the plot of evil invading foreigners, the graphics and an aiming system that goes towards the enemy as if they’re a magnet. MC3 has taken on the challenge of bringing an FPS game to iOS and from the get-go they’ve got a pretty strong handle of what they need to do to make it a success. But, looking at the trailer and screenshots for Modern Combat 3 (henceforth named MC3) I thought I would give it a shot. The only FPS games I’ve ventured into on the iPhone is COD Zombies, cos, well zombies.
