Everything is going to mobile...i bet they will port this on Switch too at some point with everything unlocked for 50$. Anyway i'm 100% gonna try it on iPhone X and now i'm seriously thinking of getting a new iPad with all this games coming to mobile, bigger screen and 120hz are good but no Oled...
100%.
The mobile market is extremely hard to do well in, even for legacy franchises.
Of course, if it's blackout and everything else on day one, my tune is going to change.
Edit: I thought that maybe I should clarify that I am talking about the game being in the same league as the big boys that I had mentioned. All 4 are top earning apps with massive player counts in the mobile shooter genre, and non-incidentally are all from the same battle royale genre. I'm sure COD mobile will do decently off the brand and nostalgia alone (plus gameplay if it's solid) but I'll wait and see if it can reach those same heights, which I'm sure is what Activision is hoping for both this and Diablo mobile.

Aight, that looks pretty decent. Interesting they'll have Zombies and Blackout too down the line.
We just need a decent controller solution for mobile, screen controls suck for twitch shooters.
A lot of players will use mouse on the android version via BlueStacks. It will be a slaughter.
This should absolutely come to Switch, that'd be great.
It's pretty amazing how far mobile quality has come.

If Chinese version is any indication then this is actually a decent CoD game on mobile.. the graphics are very good and in-game microtransactions are fair (by mobile games' standard)...most maps and characters are true to the original so they'll bring back a lot of nostalgia to people who grew up with generations of CoD games
It's rare for a Tecent's game to be universally praised by the Chinese players and this is one of them.

Tencent is pretty legit IMO. Arena of Valor is, easily, one of the best mobile games out there and one of the best mobas period. I'll definitely try this out.
Looks great. I'll give it a spin when it's out, I'll be wishing that I was playing it on the Switch, but I'll give it a go regardless.
"Call of Duty: Mobile is a new free-to-play game that brings together maps, modes, weapons, and characters from across the Call of Dutyfranchise, including Black Ops and the Modern Warfare series. "
This plus big updates is what Mainline CoD should have become a long time ago.

why? every mainline entry is consistently at the top of sales charts. the market has in no way necessitated such a drastic shift for the franchise.
I'm talking for my personal tastes. I haven't bought a COD since MW2 a big part of that is not liking annualized franchises.
ah, fair enough. quick question - what's your gripe with CoD being an annualized franchise? it isn't annualized in the same way something like Fifa or Madden are. it's not like there is 1 CoD dev working on each entry, each respective studio is given 3 years to develop their game. how is that any different than most other franchises?
Happy that Activision knows exactly what to do with their IP. This is exactly what the fans want! /s
I'd imagine each new entry somewhat diminishes the population of the older one and probably becomes less of a focus for the publisher. It's also nice not having to buy a new full priced game every year to play the new hotness. CSGO, Overwatch, TF2 have just long sold me on this model.
ya that makes sense, I can appreciate your views on the subject.
They're making a new Modern Warfare and COD Mobile is based on BO2. For once I don't think we can get on Activision for not listening.
Mobile is generally where the money's at. And you know what big publishers like to follow.
Heads up guys, game is currently in Early Access for users in India. You need to play with a VPN if you preloaded the game. Otherwise, you're better off waiting.
wow i'm surprised mods are getting this harsh lately, a guy saying "he'd like to play that game on his platform" immediately warned for port begging.
