Modern Combat 5 Blackout is a game in the Modern Combat series, developed and published by Gameloft. Much like all the other games in the series, it is a first-person shooter, however, unlike its predecessors, it is a free game. In addition to that, Modern Combat 5’s gameplay formula has also been redesigned to allow for shorter gameplay sessions – great when you don’t have much time.
Featuring both a singleplayer and a multiplayer mode, Modern Combat 5 Blackout has plenty to offer. In the singleplayer campaign, the player will take on a set of missions to take down a terrorist group called The World Liberation Army. The missions go beyond simply killing enemies and include various twists to spice up the gameplay – the player will have to control turrets on moving vehicles, such as boats and helicopters, fight unmanned drones, and take down targets from afar with a sniper rifle. The multiplayer mode, meanwhile, will have the player compete with others in 8 different modes, such as Capture the Flag, Zone Control, and Free For All. There is even a Battle Royale mode – though it has only been added recently and is still in beta.
Although Modern Combat, as a series, is generally a mobile-focused franchise, Modern Combat 5 was made available for Windows in 2018, becoming the first game in the series to release on PC. It is also available on iOS, Android, Windows Phone, and Nintendo Switch. There’s no MacOS support though – but with this guide you’ll be able to play Modern Combat 5 Blackout on Mac anyway.
