Having an over-crowded location where the slaughter can begin each and every round won't be the only thing CoD Mobile 's battle royale mode will have in common with Fortnite . It will also feature 100-person matches and give players the choice of competing alone, as a duo, or in a squad of four. Interestingly, players will also be able to choose whether they play in first-person or third-person m

Whatever the case, this conference call serves as the latest example of Fortnite 's immense impact on the games industry. However, with Treyarch's teasing of Black Ops 4 's perks already creating a buzz about the title, it will be interesting to see how the two industry giants perform against each other come Octo

Activision has released mobile Call of Duty titles before, including paid-for title Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies and free to play strategy title Call of Duty: Heroes . These games have received plenty of positive reviews, with Heroes having a four and a half star rating out of more than 1.5 million reviews. But Activision purchased King for almost $6 billion in 2015 to bolster its mobile gaming efforts even further and the companies will be hoping to build on the success of Heroes and Zombies more with this next ti

Call of Duty also faces increased competition from games such as Fortnite Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds , two titles that have mobile spin-offs. These games benefit immensely by being on mobile with none-PC and console gamers still able to engage with these franchises (and contribute to those series' success). There's no information on when the new Call of Duty will be released or exactly what it will offer, but watch this sp

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.

In addition to all of that, battle royale players will have six classes to choose from, and also be able to customize their loadouts before each new round begins. Along with a battle royale mode, CoD Mobile will also include a traditional multiplayer option and, of course, zombies. Now, all we need to know is when we can get our hands on it. Hopefully, we don't have to wait long for a definitive release d

A mobile 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

Later this year, Activision will release Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 , a brand new entry in the main series of the game that will include multiplayer and Zombies gameplay , two staples of the series. But this isn't the only major Call of Duty project being worked on at the moment. A job listing confirms that Candy Crush Saga developer King is also working on a Call of Duty mobile g

The mention of Fortnite was inevitable given the game's unprecedented success - though it was more surprising to hear Activision Blizzard's Chief Financial Officer Spencer Neumann mention it in relation to revenue. After reporting on the company's better-than-expected first quarter earnings, Neumann noted that the company has "seen some near-term impact from Battle Roya

All the window-dressing doesn’t matter, however, if Call of Duty Mobile can’t find a solution to the touchscreen control problem. Does it? Well, kind of. There are two ways to play Call of Duty Mobile, either auto-fire or manual fire. When using auto-fire, your weapon automatically starts firing after your reticle lands on a target. It sounds like cheating, but it really isn’t. The game still takes fire rate, accuracy and bullet spread into account. So, you’ll still likely lose gunfights if you’re spraying and praying. In manual fire mode, players first need to ADS before they can fire.

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.
