Apple keeps updating hardware, improving cpu and graphics but in order for developers to take advantage of these new features which come embedded in newer operating systems those with older devices get screwed.
Many devices top out at different versions of OS. 1st gen iPads and iPhone 3s top out at IOS 5, iPhone 4, iPod 4th gens top out at IOS 6 and if developers forget that not everyone out there has the latest and most feature laden devices you get catastrophes like we have been having. I'm pretty sure IOS 5 devices are screwed after this version of MW, the linking was actually a good way to work around this issue and honestly I think gree did a lot better then the mess 4.5.x was but honestly do we really want or need all the excess fluff being poured into the game? And this will ultimately kill the game IMHO.
