Modern Combat: Sandstorm is a 2009 first-person shooter developed and published by Gameloft for iOS, webOS, Bada and Android. It is the first game in the Modern Combat series and was followed by 2010's Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, 2011's Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, 2012's Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour and 2014's Modern Combat 5: Blackout. The game is set in the Middle East.
Sandstorm plays very similarly to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The game features ten missions in varied environments with different tasks for players to complete. The main enemies in the game are terrorists, and often, the player is accompanied by other soldiers who fight alongside them.
Movement is controlled by a virtual joystick on the screen, with sight and aim controlled by scrolling across the touchscreen. Players can also crouch, throw grenades, use iron sights, reload, change weapons and shoot using virtual buttons on the touchscreen. All controls can be customized from the main menu.
Online multiplayer ability was added to Sandstorm as a free update on January 28, 2010.
Chief Warrant Officer Mike "Chief" Warrens returns from injury to active duty in the war against terrorism in the Middle East, and reunites with his old squad (Dozer, Ryan, Fox and Captain Jones). After completing a training run, the Chief joins the squad as they head out to destroy a terrorist radio outpost. After successfully completing the mission, they await evacuation in a disused hotel, but their extraction helicopter is shot down, and they are forced to defend the hotel before being safely extracted in a Humvee. During the mission, the squad notice how the terrorists seemed to be ready for them, coming to the conclusion that someone is leaking information.
