| MSWM Ranks #247 in current download popularity |
So how popular is MSWM in Apples App Store? I decided to check into it.
MSWM has consistently been one of the best producing games in the app store as far as revenue. It is currently the 115th most profitable app in the app store, which is pretty impressive. I've checked a few times before and they have often been in the top 50 or higher. Obviously there are many many players out there coughing up coins for new planes, upgrades and coin weapons.
As far as current download popularity, MSWM has slipped somewhat. Currently ranked on the list at #247. A lack of major upgrades over the past 9 months have caused an erosion of new players downloading the game. However, there does appear to be quite a bit of fan loyalty, with many of us continuing to play the game over a long period of time.
Rumor is that an android version is coming out soon. Can anybody confirm that or point to a web site talking about it? I've done some searches but have yet to find anything definite.
Overall it has been an impressive run for MSWM in the app store. Hopefully Z2 can keep this game fresh and viable over the long haul.
This is the problem, battle nations(which I love) is a long term game which practically gives sustainable content until a new update is released. Metalstorm, on the other hand, has been a five minute free time game, somewhat similar to angry birds and fruit ninja where you play for five minutes, and leave the game and come back a few hours later. The only sustainable content in metal storm for the average gamer, is campaign, that's my opinion. Metalstorm is slacking, the only new thing is a featured plane every week, which is usually boring.

They need to make new campaign missions and less planes
ReplyDeleteGuys, just switch to SGAS. It's probably better than Battle Nations.
ReplyDeleteBut if your a cheepskate, don't get it. $5 up front gets you alot of awesome gameplay.
New campaign missions
ReplyDelete'nuff said.
I went from playing the game everyday to maybe once per week if that. There's really nothing in this game that interests me anymore. It used to be fun then it became a chore to collect planes then I just got over the game altogether. I find myself visiting this blog more often than I play MSW. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteSame thing.
DeleteSame here, find myself more on tapjoy than actually playing the game.
DeleteExactly the same as the previous three ones.
DeleteI deleted MSWM, yet I still visit this blog because A) the posts are nice and B) the flame wars are funny. ...And I sometimes have a bit to contribute based on my past experience, but usually not.
DeleteCurious to see, what's your favorite versus mode plane, and class. Leave you comments below.
ReplyDeleteStriker or the Dragon.
DeleteStriker if I feel vicious, dragon to waste other people's coin missiles... Love doing that...
Me too, I love flying my Reaper, I would have got the Striker but the two planes are so alike. -YHL
Deleteso who won the skin2win contest?
ReplyDeleteIf you bothered to check, the design that won was the Rattlefang, made by Immortal GrimReaper. And some additional information, he used an autolike program which made him get free likes, placing him in first place.
DeleteHahaha. cheaters, cheaters, cheaters. That' why I didn't even bother with it, especially since I don't do facebook.
DeleteI do facebook, but I don't cross accounts like that. As far as any of you are concerned, my only name is Sporillium.
DeleteI used to love playing Metalstorm and I was pretty good at it, then I started going up against people who use bisnos and also hack the game.I bought SGAS on a hunch that it may be better but I haven't regret buying it yet. The gameplay is better, more planes and the campaign is awesome. When I go back and play MSWM, my name just seems like an arrogant taunt. In SGAS, that name is a reality. From getting maybe 6 kills a game in MSWM to getting 15+ kills in SGAS against more competition and more pilots at once, everyone knows my name and they gun for me. Once they get one kill, they instantly back off once I started gunning after them all game long and I don't stop at one kill. In one 20 minute long match on the HARD difficulty in SGAS, I was blessed with a 96-4 KDR. That's flying my loyal RF-26.
ReplyDeleteDer Rote Baron
WOW!
ReplyDeleteDer Rote Baron:
What an arrogant asshat you are!
You think that yur hot stuff huh? well I'll bet that their are a whole lot of people better than yourself. I for one, am probably one of them.
You act like everyone must bow to your will.
It doesn't work like that. I would beat yur A** flying my RFA10-D, even if you have the RFNSB! I killed that plane with my A10.
So stop being such an arrogant jerk, and be humble for once.
Yeah, I'd agree with Ace. Not only are you being overly arrogant, but you get basically no bragging rights at all when flying an RF26. It's a noob's plane, second in noobiness only to the RFNSB. The best players out there will still have little trouble pounding you to dust, but the average red-badge person will be no match for you regardless of how unskilled you are, as you'll just be able to sit on their rears with even letting them see you, let alone shoot at you. The alien buster planes are the green eagles of SGAS, and people are more likely to get mad at you than respect you.
DeleteOne last thing- you mentioned "Hard" difficulty. Since there is no difficulty level in multiplayer, it sounds a lot like you've been playing against AI opponents. I expect you've been killing a lot of people named "Frank", "Lothar", "Alexander", and "Georges" lately. If that's indeed the case, congratulations on being king of the sheep.
I know that I wasn't exactly be as humble as I could be, so sorry for that.
DeleteI have to play offline because I'm not aloud to use our WiFi.
Did you notice Der Rote Baron didn't state his rank? I'll bet he's some blue shield, or low red shield rank.
I happen to ge a Lt. Colonel, so I in the middle of the pack, but I DO command some respect.
I play SGROG, and I use my RAF SE5. But since I unlocked it, not bought it, I don't considder myself a NOOB for useing it.
People should know my name for a D*** good reason: Twice in a row, I got 29 kills, 0 deaths. (Granted, alot of the enemy pilots were blue shield pilots, but I wasn't losing to equals either.) I you see me, I'll try to kill you (Der Rote Baron, not Sporillium) If I have to, I'll use lower level planes.
I noticed that in SGAS, people tend to use the best plane they can get their hands on, not useing their bad planes.
I bought an RFAB01 today. Yeah, it's an Alien Buster, but compared to the RF26 and RFNSB, I don't really hate fighting other people in it at all. Sure, I don't get much in the way of bragging rights if I frag people who are flying Evo or Basic planes, but I'll still do well against Aces (and I might even get to gloat over killing an RFNSB or RF26 on occasion). If anyone ever challenges my actual skill, I'll switch to some other plane as soon as I unlock one, since my game just killed all my progress again.
DeleteThat is to say, I don't hate fighting other people who are flying the RFAB01 as much as I do if they are flying an RF26 or RFNSB. I don't think that came out quite right.
DeleteFighting people when I'm flying the RFAB01 is quite fun, when they are flying it, it doesn't suck.
How the hell is song pop better than MSW??? Obviously 5 year old bumbing that game off hard
