Activision confirmed Call of Duty Mobile controller support is in the works

Activision VP of Mobile talked about the future of CoD Mobile. During an interview, he mentioned that Call of Duty Mobile controller support is in the works

Good to hear. I tried the game out last night and although i hate touch controls with a passion I absolutely destroyed. Got 21 kills and was MVP. Who would’ve thought. Lol

They should port Call of Duty Mobile to Nintendo Switch. I think it would be a perfect fit.

Nice job man! But there are plenty of bots at the beginning.
The number of bots will decrease as you go high :)

[Jin_Sakai]

Yea I kind of figured that. It wasn’t my first game though. I’d love controller support or a Switch port if we’re lucky.

[SkatterBrain]

ive been kinda lazy hooking my 8bitdo snes pro+ to my note 9 was actually gonna try this game , glad i didnt wastr the time to find out it doesnt have controller support yet

[porkChop]

Bringing COD Mobile to Switch would be smart. They aren't bringing the other games over so that would let them hit another market.

[GamingonPhone]

Sounds like a plan. But yeah this can actually be beneficial for Activision.

[Felix_Argyle_Catbro]

This has been surprisingly good to control even with touchscreen. I've put 5 hours into it so far. Really fun.

[GamingonPhone]

Yeah, no doubt that the game is very much fun. And guess what, it is just the start, there will be a lot more things to be added in the future and we are eagerly waiting for that. :)

And, GamingonPhone will be covering every small aspect of the game ;)

This game is impressive, and I would consider getting one of those brackets that you can use with an Xbox One/PS4 controller. If they come out with powerful phones that have a 'video out' jack, then this is probably the future we're looking at. It will be interesting to see where things sit after next generation.

[SLiSH83]

You can do that with a iPad Pro, and I’m assuming any phone with usb c.

Usb c to hdmi

[Leeroyw]

Good call. Those cables eliminate Bluetooth lag. I've been playing the game in early access for months. I love it still. The royale mode is good

[mcstorm]

You can already so this with USB c even some wireless mirroring.

That said I kind of agree/disagree with you on the teams of next gen mobile gaming.

I still feel pc/consoles will always have the upper hand but then seening devices like the surface duo and Nano I can see this booting gaming on mobile. Plus with Windows 10x of Microsoft can get the right support and hardware games could be in the up in terms of console graphics.

[SLiSH83]

Yup pretty good mobile version definitely in my rotation for mobile.
Can’t wait for controller support and hopefully we get that switch port too

[GamingonPhone]

hopefully, the controller support will arrive soon.

[CDbiggen]

Controller support would probably heavily unbalance the game. I would've thought anyway.

[Jin_Sakai]

You can turn extremely fast with touch screen though. Like a mouse without the precision. I’d say controller support wouldn’t cause too much imbalance.

[GamingonPhone]

I agree.

[CDbiggen]

Ah fair enough

[InUrFoxHole]

No thanks. With the various permissions this game requires. I'll pass

[Sirk7x]

Any game you play online is collecting psychological and personal data about you, extrapolated from how and when you play, and selling it. Not that it makes it any better, it's just foolish to think that anyone who uses the internet regularly has any privacy, unless they're incredibly careful and educated on security.

[SixEye]

But is a mobile game why does it need controller support? If you want to use a controller play on a gaming console, who's going be carrying a controller around just to play CoD on the go, best option would be to port the game to Nintendo switch, if they really want to offer a controller support and on the go experience.

[GamingonPhone]

you have a valid point.

[NimbleThor]

I'm glad to hear that they decided to add controller support again, but that this time, people with controllers and people without won't be matched together :)

I don't personally mind the touch controls, but more options are always better.
