Modern Combat 5: Blackout

Gameloft continues to trickle out new details about their upcoming first-person shooterModern Combat 5: Blackout ever so slowly, and today they've revealed two new features of the highly anticipated title. First up is a new unified progression system. Everybody knows that Modern Combat games feature both a single-player campaign as well as a hefty online multiplayer mode, both of which could probably be their own standalone games. In fact, we reviewed the single player campaign and the multiplayer portion of Modern Combat 4 separately for that very reason. In Modern Combat 5, those two major portions of the game should feel more cohesive with a unified progression system. Whether playing the campaign or the multiplayer, experience earned will go towards advancing your character's overall level. This is true of the weapon mastery system as well, and if you unlock a new weapon it doesn't matter if you did it during the campaign or multiplayer you'll be able to use it in both.
