Call Of Duty Mobile closed beta now rolling out in India: Here's what's confirmed

Activision's much-awaited Call of Duty: Mobile is finally here. Announced back in March, we've so far had very little information about game but that changes today, as Activision has just released many more details of the upcoming mobile shooter.The game is also now available for closed beta testing in select parts of the world, including India. Now, if you'd pre-registered for the game and still don't see it available for download, you're not the only one around. Activision has confirmed that access to the game will be rolled out only in batches for now.[caption id="attachment_6650131" align="alignnone" width="1280"] A Call of Duty: Mobile poster.

Free-For-All supports up to eight players, while the other game modes support up to 10 players.These are only the first multiplayer modes announced, so there’s still hope for fans of PC version-inspired modes like 'Kill Confirmed' and 'Search and Destroy'.As far as maps go, the game will include seven maps for now — Nuketown, Crash, Hijacked, Crossfire, Standoff, Killhouse, and Firing Range. Activision didn’t say if it will release additional maps in future updates, so this is all for a while.[caption id="attachment_6650141" align="alignnone" width="1280"] Players can pick from six confirmed characters from the Call of Duty series.

The company plans to talk about additional modes in the future.Call of Duty: Mobile — loadouts, scorestreaks, and controlsActivision also divulged information about the game's settings and loadouts in its blog post. The settings allow players to choose whether to always be sprinting, adjust sensitivity, pick and fine-tune the gyroscope function for aiming, and tweak the camera field-of-vision. Yeah, that's a lot to mess around with and that's not all.You can also pick between simple and advanced modes. While simple mode enables auto-firing at enemies when the cross-hair is focused on them, advanced mode, meanwhile, allows for manual firing, choosing how you hold different weapon types, and customizing your HUD — similar to PUBG Mobile but far more granular.[caption id="attachment_6650151" align="alignnone" width="1280"] As for game modes, players will have five classic ones to choose from, which they can play in casual matches, ranked matches, and private matches.

There are also weapon skills. For those who've played Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, these work similarly to specialist weapons allowing up to three perks for each loadout.Then there's 'scorestreaks' which is essentially just COD terminology for killstreaks. Scorestreaks in the game give you access to tools like the Recon Car, UAV, Air Supply Drop, and VTOL, just to name a few.
