# Modern Combat 5 vs Bullet Force

The clearest difference is update cadence: Bullet Force at fortnightly against Modern Combat 5's every 3 months. Bullet Force also leads on review sentiment (70% vs 52%). Modern Combat 5's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (198K vs 50K). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Modern Combat 5 sells 11 one-off in-app purchases and Bullet Force sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Modern Combat 5 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 198K and 50K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Modern Combat 5's written reviews are positive against 70% of Bullet Force's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Modern Combat 5 ships an update every 3 months, Bullet Force fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
