Call of Duty: Mobile will also feature a range of customisation options, in the form of different loadouts and rewards for “Scorestreaks”. “Scorestreaks” will allow mobile players to choose which advantage you receive when getting a certain number of kills in a row. These rewards range from things like “Recon Cars” to “Sentry Guns”. The different loadouts let players choose between various kinds of primary and secondary weapons.
The mobile version of Call of Duty is set to feature a range of control customisation and accessibility options. Call of Duty: Mobile will have a “Simple Mode” and “Advanced Mode”. The “Simple Mode” enables automatic fire when you aim your sights at an enemy. “Advanced Mode” adds manual firing and HUD customisation.
You can currently pre-register for Call of Duty: Mobile on Android and iOS. Closed beta testing of the mobile game began this week in India, with regional beta tests in the US and UK expected in the coming months.
