The mobile shooter space has never been the most robust. For years, developers have struggled to build a gameplay system that works on touchscreens and maintains the fast-paced nature of a shooter. Still, despite these issues, popular games like Fortnite and PUBG have found huge success in the mobile space. As such, it isn’t that surprising that Activision is hopping in with their take on a mobile Call of Duty. Call of Duty Mobile aims to bring the whole Call of Duty experience to your iOS and Android devices, but does it succeed?

In addition, there still have not been any solid plans detailed about how the game will be monetized. As the game is expected to be a free-to-play entrant into the market, cosmetic items are all but sure to be included, as well as possibly loot bo

Asides from multiplayer, Activision also took the time to show off the battle royale mode. To be clear, Mobile’s battle royale mode is not the same as Black Ops 4’s. It’s entirely original with a map that uses elements from both Black Ops and Modern Warfare games. It looks like a capable battle royale mode with all the features players expect, though we sadly didn't get a chance to try it out. For a mobile game, Call of Duty Mobile does look quite good. All the iconic maps are accurate to how they looked in their original appearances, though there isn’t as much detail. We tested the game out on an iPhone XS Max and iPhone 7 Plus. Despite the age and power gap between the two devices, Call of Duty Mobile still looked and performed well on both devices.

Call of Duty Mobile’s attempt to bring the Call of Duty formula to mobile devices is admirable and mostly successful. The limitations of mobile devices likely mean that we’ll never get an FPS title as accurate and precise as on PC or console. The setup for Call of Duty Mobile works well enough, however, for on-the-go action. The game looks good and comes packed with some of the best content from the Modern Warfare and Black Ops series. There are still serious questions about Activision and Tencent’s monetization plans, but they have time to sort it out. Call of Duty Mobile won’t replace the mainline games, but it’s fun enough for some quick matches.

While fans wait anxiously for information on the next console title, another report states that Call of Duty 2020 is becoming Black Ops 5 , following the recent development of Treyarch taking over development on the game. According to the report, Raven and Sledgehammer are staying on as support, but the change in control is apparently due to disagreements between the two studios. Inside sources describe the game's development as "a mess," so hopefully this change is a step in the right direct

Call of Duty: Mobile has finally entered into beta after a seemingly endless wait on both iOS and Android devices. Like most beta testing periods, certain regions will have access before others, but for now, eager users can head over to the Google Play Store and Apple Store to pre-register for access once it becomes available in more regi

A Mobile gaming industry Impact release may not sound like the most natural choice for a highly competitive shooter like Call of Duty , but it seems to be working quite well for Fortnite . While **Call of Duty: Mobile ** might not take off quite as much, it at least gives players with decent smartphones a chance for some multiplayer action without needing to spend a d

The upcoming **Call of Duty: Mobile ** , aa free-to-play first-person shooter being developed by Tencent Games, has reached more than 13 million pre-registrations in China. The game has gotten a steady stream of pre-registrations since it was first announced, and it seems to have gotten a boost from a positive showing at this year’s ChinaJoy e

Blackout, the version of battle Royale used in this series, is a bit of an unknown at the moment. The mode has not yet been confirmed, only hinted at. It stands to reason that there has to be something to compete with the other big players in the battle royale market, unless the developers believe that classic modes of the Call of Duty series can compete with the popular modes of to

Since the game was first announced, a number of modes have been discussed for the game, including Team Deathmatch, Search and Destroy, and well-known maps like Firing Range, Hijacked, and Nuketown are all going to be a part of the rele

Activision is working closely with Tencent to make Call of Duty Mobile as authentic to the Call of Duty brand as possible. Based on the demo, they’re succeeding. Like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the game is split into three modes: multiplayer, battle royale and a third mode that hasn’t been announced yet. The multiplayer setup should be familiar to anyone who has played a Call of Duty game since 2007. There’s Create-a-Class, Scorestreaks and a menagerie of different game modes to choose from.
