Battle Royale squads benefit from Scouts thanks to their advanced tracking abilities. Thanks to their skills, they can easily track enemies and various movements on the map.

239769-amazing-cod-wallpaper-1920x1080.jpgComing to Call of Duty Mobile shortly after launch, the game’s Zombies was quickly removed after failing to meet the quality standards of TiMi Studios. Despite this failure, a recent Call of Duty Mobile survey has hinted that the co-op mode could be returning after an absence of over a year. While there is good reason to be excited about this possibility, there are several things that will need to be done differently to make the second attempt at Call of Duty Mobile Zombies a succ

Lastly, the new Outbreak mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has proven that multiplayer content can be repurposed as Zombies content in an effective way. If Call of Duty Mobile ’s developers were to take this approach, introducing some smart systems for the horde’s AI, the same can be done with the game’s many multiplayer and battle royale locations. While making use of mechanics like perks and Pack-A-Punch would still be a necessity, this would allow for Call of Duty Mobile ’s developer to do something original with its Zombies mode, with multiple maps chained together in a similar way to Outbr

Call of Duty Mobile makes playing with friends simple and painless, and that's something it applies to other areas of the game as well. For example, players have the choice between a simple or advanced control scheme. The simple control scheme removes the need to press an extra button to shoot, so it shoots automatically when players are aiming at an enemy. While this may seem like sacrilege to hardcore Call of Duty fans or may make the game less fun, it's actually a great way to get around the limitations of phones and touchscreen controls. Typically when players are aiming at an enemy, they're going to be shooting anyway, so removing that extra button press doesn't have a negative impact on the experience at all. Both control styles are fine, but we definitely recommend the simple control sch

Toy Robot, their second skill, attracts nearby zombies. However, instead of gathering zombies and killing them with an explosion, the Toy Robot gathers zombies in a particular direction, making this useful in firefights. Of course, thanks to these abilities, Clowns may counteract each others' abilities. For instance, a Clown can throw a Toy Robot towards an enemy squad to unleash a horde of zombies to them. However, the enemy Clown can trigger Anti-Zombie so they won't be bothered by the horde if they run fast eno

However, this factor also means players should learn how to move swiftly and react quickly to survive. For instance, players stay safer in firefights when they strafe, letting them fire their weapons while moving to safety. Given the absence of an adequate hide mechanic, players should duck in cover only to rel

While the simple control scheme does make gunplay infinitely easier, there are still some issues that the developers need to work out in regards to Call of Duty Mobile 's controls. We found throwing grenades accurately to be a struggle, especially in the heat of the action. Switching quickly to other weapons is also cumbersome, and the screen in general is busy with different buttons that players need to

Call of Duty Mobile has satisfying progression, a nice selection of fan favorite maps, and it looks great on phones and tablets. The game's liberal use of bots hampers the experience a bit, and the battle royale mode could stand to have a slightly smaller map or something to make firefights happen more often. Future updates will likely make the game even better, though there's also a chance that the in-game economy will be re-balanced to try to get players to buy into the microtransactions. In its current state, though, Call of Duty Mobile is a pretty great mobile FPS that will no doubt please fans of the franch

The fennec is a submachine gun that can serve as both primary or secondary weapons depending on the player's choice. With a very fast fire rate and road mongrel great hip-fire accuracy, this weapon can take down enemies in close-range combats in no t
