* QuickMelee: In the form of a knife, as per most contemporary military shooters. Unlike most of said shooters, however, the swing takes long enough to potentially be counteracted.

[[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]; shotguns are so ridiculously short-ranged that even if an enemy is within the effective range of your shotgun, nine times out of ten it's more efficient to just hit your QuickMelee button.

* HiredGun: The 'mercenary' team is made of, well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin mercenaries]]. How professional they are isn't ever exactly stated, but since they're fighting special forces, attempting assassinations in urban areas, implied to be hiding from authorities in the 'Hideout' map, and [[BreadEggsMilkSquick can be see launching missile truck missiles]], it's safe to say they aren't a PrivateMilitaryContractor and they definitely aren't the sort of people you can hire legally.

* AKA47: {{Downplayed}}: Only two of the guns in the game have fake names (the [=MN106=] and the Dradonitch, standing in for a full-auto AR type rifle and the Dragunov). Also ''justified'' in three other cases: the Benelli M4, Beretta 92FS, and Desert Eagle, which are called by their actual name when purchased by the security forces, are called the "SPAM-4", "NB Handgun", and "Vulture" respectively when purchased by the mercenaries, implying that they're buying shoddy third-party knockoffs.
* ArmorIsUseless: {{Averted}}: You can purchase a helmet, body armour, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or a helmet and body armour]], and they ''seriously'' extend your survivability when taking fire.

same weapons, armour, [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs or a helmet and body armour]], and firearms accessories, limited only by the player's current rank. {{Averted}} in map-specific gamemodes, where both teams have different contradicting goals.
* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: Multiple examples typical of an FPS that wasn't exactly a realistic tactical shooter to begin with, but the most JustForFun/{{Egregious}} instance is how the grenade launcher works: frag grenades double as grenade launcher ammo, meaning that your player character ''jams fragmentation grenades down his grenade launcher''.

** In a meta sense too: This game doesn't offer any means of in-game communication, so even on the off chance you find a player, you'll never be able to talk to him. On the bright side, at least you won't have to put up with the words of toxic players, which seem to be a prevalent problem in many other [=FPSs=]...




to:

* ShoddyKnockoffProduct: The mercenaries have different variants of the Benelli M4, Berreta 92FS, and Desert Eagle that can be purchased by special forces, (the "SPAM-4", "NB Handgun", and "Vulture" respectively) that are heavily implied to be this, looking similiar to their security force counterparts but with a few differences, most notabily the fact that the knockoffs have different (read: crappier) iron sights. [[GameplayAndStorySegregation Of course, to prevent any imbalances in power between the two sides, the knockoffs are statistically identical to their legitimate counterparts.]]

* NoPlotNoProblem: As mentioned above, there is almost literally no plot in the game; the closest thing that you get for the plot are the map specific game modes, which give both teams an objective, but no context is given for these objectives.

Modern Combat: Domination is a FirstPersonShooter developed by Gameloft Studios, and is part of the [[VideoGame ModernCombat]] series. Unusually for a video game, it's exclusive to [[UsefulNotes MacOS]] and [[UsefulNotes PS3]] only. The game revolves around the battles between special forces and mercenaries as they engage each other in conflicts around the world.

...and that's about it for the plot, as the focus of the game really isn't on telling a story, but rather on the gameplay itself. There isn't even a single player campaign; the game is entirely multiplayer. Gameplay wise, the game is very similar to the multiplayer mode of most contemporary military shooters, and plays a lot like a mix between [[VideoGame ModernWarfare]] and [[VideoGame CounterStrike]].

Gameloft has since stopped updating the game, and it has been taken off the App Store, but players with the game can still play it, though you'd be hard pressed to find another actual player in the game.
