Take one of the world’s biggest shooters with you wherever you go with the stunning Call Of Duty: Mobile. Delivering cutting-edge visuals with slick controls and dynamic action, this is a fantastic CoD experience.

It’s a game that embraces the series’ history, bringing you classic modes and maps galore – from the suburban surrounds of Nuketown to Hijacked’s luxurious yacht.

CoD: Mobile has it all. You’ll never be short of a squad to join in the five-on-five Team Deathmatch. Fancy being fast-tracked to the heat of the battle? Try Frontline, where the gunfire rarely lets up.

There are no compromises here – this has everything you’d want from a Call of Duty game.

For the more tactical player, there’s Hardpoint, where you’ll need to work as a team to hold its shifting capture points. In Domination, you have to first take and then hold onto three zones.

CoD: Mobile’s controls have been brilliantly adapted for touchscreen play. You can switch weapons, aim down sights and go prone with a tap. Should you need time to acclimatise before jumping into an online match, a practice mode pits you against AI opponents.

When you’re combat-ready, there’s no idling around in lobbies for minutes on end. With such a huge audience, whatever your poison, you’ll find a game with a group of like-minded players before you can yell, “Grenade out!”

No need for a controller here – the simple onscreen controls are all you need.

Over time you’ll develop the combination of smart strategising and expert play that will earn you powerful scorestreak rewards. These can shift the tide of battle – from aerial recon vehicles that highlight enemies on the map to drones that will automatically target rivals they spot.

Whether you prefer the surgical special-forces approach or favour a more gung-ho guerrilla style, you’re sure to have a good time in the tense battle royale mode. Here you will compete to be the last soldier, duo or squad standing across a steadily-shrinking map. Don’t worry if a teammate is taken down – collect their dog tag and you’ll have the chance to revive them.

The last-man standing battle royale mode is a real highlight.

The surprises keep on coming with limited-time events and featured game types, such as the intense zombies mode, where you’ll work together to take down hordes of the ravenous undead.

With fan-favourite characters, post-battle victory poses and dozens more unlockables besides, there’s never been a better time to fire up Call Of Duty: Mobile.
