![]() ![]() As with Call of Duty Mobile, you’ll be able to fine-tune exactly how much automation and in-game assistance you want, and there will also be Bluetooth controller support for those who want a more traditional experience.Īctivision’s latest bite-size Call of Duty game looked great and ran at a fluid 120 frames per second (fps) on an iPhone 14 Pro Max - Apple’s current top-end phone - though it’s optimized to run well on the last few generations of iPhone. Taking down an entire squad of enemies - as the last member of my team left alive, no less - was a thrill, and I never had to think too hard or perform any awkward on-screen maneuvers to pick off the opposition. Those automations went a long way toward helping me focus on the goal of the game: staying alive in heated firefights. So if you’re trying it for the first time, and we want people to invite their friends and invite people that maybe haven’t it before, those automations are a big thing we focused on.” “These are just quality-of-life improvements, and we did that because there are a lot of mechanics. “In some areas of Verdansk, you have skyscrapers and stuff, so you might not want to manually pilot your guy up and down the stairs,” says Chris Plummer, senior vice president and co-head of mobile at Activision. ![]() It all felt smooth, and removed a lot of the clunkiness that can come with trying to perform complex action game maneuvers on a touchscreen.

For example, you can tap a single button to aim at your enemy while your gun fires automatically, or sprint down the battlefield with a quick tap rather than having to hold down a button.

Up to 120 players (either solo or in three-person squads) drop onto an ever-shrinking battlefield, scavenging for weapons while battling to be the last player or crew standing. And now that Call of Duty Warzone - a last-man-standing spin on the classic formula - has taken the world by storm, it too is getting a dedicated mobile version, one that delivers an even more impressive approach to making the shooter genre work on a phone.įor the uninitiated, Warzone is basically Call of Duty with a Fortnite twist. When Call of Duty Mobile arrived in 2019, it successfully brought the mega-popular franchise’s tight, thrilling multiplayer shootouts to the small screen with surprisingly intuitive touch controls and nearly console-like graphics.
