Modern Combat 5's move to free-to-play has seen extended support for this multiplayer. Even with the spawning issues, the multiplayer mode is an excellent FPS experience. There were a few times where I spawned in front of an opponent who quickly killed me before I even had a chance to move. I did, however, find some issues with spawning. The games I played all ran smoothly in terms of connection and I didn't run into many problems with lag. The gameplay is close to the multiplayer modes in Call of Duty down to the kill streak bonuses which give you upgrades such as sentry guns and helicopters. Multiplayer has all the classic FPS game types such as deathmatch, capture the flag, and free-for-all. This is the best way to take advantage of the squad feature which allows you to easily join up with your friends and join the fight. Modern Combat 5 also has a robust multiplayer mode, which supports up to 12 players at a time. Using a shotgun will almost certainly kill both the captor and hostage, so it's a good idea to choose a more precise weapon before playing the stage. For example, some missions require you to free hostages who are held at gunpoint by killing their captor. The weapons and classes are an important part of the game and directly affect the difficulty of each level.

There's plenty of weapons to choose from and you also have a squad which features four different classes: assault, recon, heavy, and sniper. To save space, chapters are downloaded as you progress.

Each chapter has your standard run-and-gun stages, objective-based stages that involve tasks such as defusing bombs, and a multiplayer stage. Each stage of MC5 is divided into different chapters.
