* AKA47: All weapons are given fictitious names.

** Phoenix, a minor NPC who only appears in the mission “Aftermath” in Modern Combat 4, is a protagonist in the Modern Combat 5.

* DragonAscendant: The games from 2 to 5 end with the BigBad being killed and the secondary villain stepping up to become the BigBad of the next game. This pattern ends with the 5th and final game, as Saunders dies without anyone left to succeed him, and the game ends with a generic "a new mission awaits" instead of a cliffhanger radio transmission from the new villain.

* HeavilyArmoredMook: The 5th game has Executioners, enemies wearing heavy power armor and wielding miniguns. They move at a brisk walk at their fastest, but can soak 2 to 3 mags of assault rifle fire before going down. They often serve as a BossInMooksClothing encounter at the end of each chapter, with a pair of them serving as a sort of FinalBoss encounter before the CutsceneBoss confrontation with the BigBad.

* RussianReversal: Play straight in mission 5 of Modern Combat 3. While being chased by KPR forces, Downs boisterously says: “In Soviet Russia, cars steal you! Suck it, comrades!”

* DemotedtoExtra: Warrens is reduced to a non-physical speaking cameo in Modern Combat 4 compared to his much bigger role in Modern Combat 1 and 2.

Modern Combat is a series of mobile FPS games for android and IOS made by Gameloft, the plot and gameplay in almost every game borrows off of Call of Duty , primarily the modern warfare sub-series. Modern Combat 1 through 3 have a fairly typical modern military setting, while 4 and 5 have a more futuristic setting reminiscent of ''VideoGame/CallOfDutyBlackOpsII''.

''Modern Combat 5: Blackout'' was ported to the PC and is available as a free-to-play game on Steam. The game uses many free-to-play mechanics intended to encourage players to spend money, such as limited energy that has to be spent to play levels, and having to perform very grindy tasks to unlock new weapons or the next chapter of the campaign.

* ClusterF-Bomb: Most of the dialogues in mission 5 of Modern Combat 3 can be summed up as this, which is understandable considering the fact that in the mission, Phantom Unit, along with the rescued members of Razor Squad, are being pursued by various KPR ATVs, APCs and even an attack helicopter. As a side note: Compared to previous installments, Modern Combat 03 seems to be much less restrictive when it comes to profanity in general.

* SoleSurvivor: The 1st game ends with the player character being the only surviving member of his squad, with him traveling to the widow of the second-to-last survivor to notify her of his death.

* The BusCameBack:

* Turncoat: Edward Page, former US Army Rangers and Green Berets, became disillusioned with the United States’ causes and defected to the KPR at some time prior to the game with in-game intel alluding that such decision is due to Page’s obsession with General Butler’s “Book on War”. This is further demonstrated by Page listing various covert (and may be considered illegal) operations by the US government such as: Project COINTELPRO, MKUltra, Paperclip…while punching Walker and referring to America as “an imperialist country”. By Modern Combat 4, however, Page is nothing more than a psychopathic terrorist with no clear affiliation who just wants to eradicate the majority of the human race to fulfill his bloodlust.

* VillainProtagonist: Near the beginning and end of the 4th game are a couple of levels in which you play as Edward Page, the BigBad.

* TerroristsWithoutACause: The main villains in games 1 through 3 are Middle Eastern, South American, and Russian respectively and all have fairly typical geopolitical reasons for their actions. However, Edward Page in 4 is just an AxCrazy BloodKnight who hates civilization and wants to "reboot humanity" by killing off the majority of the human race. Everett Saunders' motives and goals in 5 are a complete enigma and might as well be terrorism for the sake of terrorism, a fact which is lampshaded by one of the loading screen descriptions of him.
