Modern Combat 5: Blackout Now Free on Android and iOS

If you have been holding on trying out the latest Modern Combat 5: Blackout on your phone due to its steep $6.99 price (at launch, $3.99 now), don't anymore. Gameloft has just announced that MC5 will now be free to play on both Android and iOS with in-app purchases.

Gameloft said in a statement regarding the change:

This update makes Modern Combat 5 available for free to millions of new players, and adds controller support, more weapons, a new class and more. All of our current players are getting Veteran status, with unlimited energy, and some other goodies as a thank you for their support. Ultimately, the switch to free-to-play means the game will have a longer lifetime, so we can invest more in the long-term update plan and in the servers which need to support a significantly larger player base. One thing we’re not messing with is the competitive balance players have come to expect in Modern Combat

The users who have paid full price will get some added goodies and veteran status with unlimited energy. The price-cut can already be seen on the App Store and it will be soon on the Play Store and Windows Phone store. Download Links follow.
