Every multiplayer gamer out there who goes around pairing with strangers has definitely played on a team with a player that has his/her name written in Chinese. During the match, the Chinese friend ends up bagging all the kills while the other guys are busy enjoying the s

Mobility helps with movement speed, but other handling characteristics, like ADS times and sprint to fire speed, usually benefit from attachments that increase mobility as well. These attributes, plus other handling characteristics like reload speed, go a long way towards making a Call of Duty build feel good and can contribute heavily towards the overall strength of a weapon se

A light, mobile playstyle isn't for everyone, but any one of these builds will do admirably in the hands of players who prefer to be fast, aggressive, and agile. Taking the initiative and getting the jump on enemies is a great advantage to have, so just an added bit of movement and handling speed can put any build a cut above the r

Call of Duty: Mobile has a few features that makes it particularly unique compared to other Call of Duty games . Although hesitant at the thought of playing a mobile first person shooter game, many players found the controls to be surprisingly intuitive. Call of Duty: Mobile features two modes of fire: automatic fire in which the character will fire his gun anytime an enemy is within it's reticle, and manual, in which aiming and firing are separate buttons which the player must manually activate.

Will the new Zombies mode allow players to use their own avatars? And if so, will new zombies themed cosmetics come along with the game mode? There is still much to be learned about Call of Duty: Mobile 's Zombies mode, but fans will undoubtedly uncover all there is to see come tomorrow's rele

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

Whenever a player goes into invincible mode, then it's safe to assume that winning is all that matters. A lot of players have had to deal with teammates that don't seem to know their way around the game all that w

Unlike other multiplayer titles , Call of Duty: Mobile brings back its popular Scorestreaks to this mobile title. Like in its previous games, players unlock Scorestreaks when meeting certain kill numbers. However, this time, players can customize Scorestreaks they want to equip. These include UAVs, Predator Missiles, Sentry Guns, and even the powerful XS1 Goliath ar

Call Of Duty: Mobile is as close to a console shooter as mobile games can get right now. To date, it is ranked as one of the overall best games for the platform. With such a large fanbase, it's only natural that there will be a series of memes that everyone who plays the game will laugh at one way or the ot

However, Call of Duty: COD Mobile Operator Skills also takes the familiar competitive spirit of classic Activision titles into this mobile title. As such, some players of this title tend to be just as skilled and brutal with their kills as their PC and console counterparts.
