News - Call Of Duty: Warzone Mobile Review
On the other side of that coin, you don't need to be a war zone diabolical with countless hours already banked to enjoy War Zone Mobile. The phone version also brings over all the metagame logistical elements like custom loadouts and the gunsmith, which is a menu that lets you customize your weapons.
You can do just about everything in War Zone Mobile that you can in War Zone, making the smaller game just as viable as your mainstay Battle Royale. It's not doing anything new, but the if it ain't broke mentality gets along just fine. One final caveat is that, as is to be expected for a game made for a variety of mobile devices, your visual quality is going to depend heavily on your device.
On my 2-year-old Google Pixel 6A, textures don't always stream in correctly and will often pop in as I'm playing, and everything can sometimes just be a bit muddy. I also experienced some issues with frame rate and lag times, although so early after launch it's possible those problems can be chocked up to early growing pains and a large influx of players as far as microtransactions.
In this free-to-play game, they're largely the same as the standard war zone, which means they're not unreasonably expensive relative to other games like this, and it's not considered pay-to-play. Win, it's tough to think of a mobile game that comes as close to giving the full-scale multiplayer experience as Call of Duty: War Zone Mobile does.
There's nothing here that reinvents War Zone, but that isn't the point, though the touch controls put you at a clear disadvantage to anybody using a Bluetooth controller, and your phone may struggle to keep the frame rate and the texture smooth if it isn't the latest and greatest. War Zone Mobile excellently uses maps and gameplay elements to provide a fast and fun Battle Royale experience.
If you're already into War Zone, cross-progression makes it feel like an extension of the game you already like with more opportunities to play it more often. It's fair to say that the best thing about War Zone Mobile is that it makes it easier to play more War Zone.
