According to the most-recent blog post by Tencent on the Call of Duty website, “The first limited-scale closed beta test began this week in India. Soon, Australia will be next to start testing, and more territories are planned in the months to foll
While the game has only been out for a relatively short time, there are already numerous gameplay previews showcasing the action. From what has been shown so far, the gameplay looks fantastic for a mobile version of the game. It is clear that the extended period in which the game was in China was used to polish the game, as few other beta games look this g
The map is a combination of Modern Warfare and Black Ops locations, which includes areas like Crash, Estate, and Standoff. Because this information is coming from a testing server, all of it could change down the line – even the map – so nothing is final until the game is officially relea
Considering the sheer amount of content releasing this month, it’s not surprising that some people may have a hard time keeping track of it all. For those who are looking to add some games, betas, or special events to their calendars, here are all the biggest game releases, betas, and events for the gaming industry in October 2
Over on consoles, it’s being reported that Modern Warfare 4 may have a free-to-play component . If true, it could signal a big change in how the series’ business model operates. Nothing is concrete at the moment, but many suggest a move like this could be in relation to a Battle Royale mode, if there are plans to include one. It is pretty typical to see Battle Royale and free-to-play going hand-in-hand, after
There appear to be two control options, similar to Fortnite : Simple and Advanced Mode. Simple will fire your weapon for you when you target an opponent, and Advanced provides full control without such assi
Between Black Ops 4 and Red Dead Redemption 2 are a number of games that may not be quite as popular, but all stand a chance of making a name for themselves this month. This includes games like Starlink: Battle for Atlas , which has gotten more attention thanks to its Star Fox -crossover content , and Soulcalibur 6 , which is coming off the heels of a relatively successful online network t
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
China doesn’t have quite the history with the Call of Duty franchise as some parts of the world, largely due to the Chinese government’s aggressive stance of banning video games. Until 2015, all foreign consoles were banned, meaning the vast majority of gamers played either on PC or mobile. Once the console ban was lifted, China quickly became the world’s largest market for games, and the free-to-play Call of Duty Online was released exclusively in that country. Even now, the government has a heavy hand in censoring games . Last year, a nine-month freeze on new game releases was put in place while the government reorganized its approval process, and this year the rules for new game approvals were updated to exclude any game that depicts blood or corpses. That means Call of Duty: Mobile is likely to look a lot different from the rest of the franchise elsewhere in the wo
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
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
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?
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
