Modern Combat 5 gets bigger explosions and fancier effects on iOS 8 powered by the Metal API

The enhanced visuals are enabled on the following devices: iPhone 5s, iPad Air, iPad mini with Retina display, iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. It goes without saying that iOS 8 is required. The game will require re-downloading the DLC packs.

Although the graphics bomb of an update is free, Modern Combat 5 is still priced on the steeper end of App Store games at $6.99. And here comes the good related news! Today, Gameloft is selling Modern Combat 5, 4, and 3 in a $9.99 bundle on iOS 8. If you are yet to get up to speed with the franchise, now might be the best time to procure the games on a sweet price and put your iDevice's hardware in high gear!

Finally, here's a video by TouchGameplay to check out the Metal-powered graphics in motion. There's obviously some stuff that needed to be worked out before the release - we're talking about the artifacts in the sky. But still, the game looks killer!
