<br>After this year’s ChinaJoy, which ran August 2-5 in Shanghai, industry analyst Daniel Ahmad reported Call of Duty: Mobile had reached 13.6 million pre-registrations following its playable demo on the show floor. Its showing at ChinaJoy was the first publicly available demo for the game, but some players in China have actually had the chance to play the game already, through a beta test. Testers are being selected from pre-registered users, so there’s a good reason for so many people to have jumped on the bandwagon ea<br><br>Activision is working closely with Tencent to make Call of Duty Mobile as authentic to the Call of Duty brand as possible. Based on the demo, they’re succeeding. Like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the game is split into three modes: multiplayer, battle royale and a third mode that hasn’t been announced yet. The multiplayer setup should be familiar to anyone who has played a Call of Duty game since 2007.

If true, it could signal a big change in how the series' business model operates.

The game is best on a controller, though Activision wouldn’t confirm what, if any, controllers Call of Duty Mobile will support.

The setup for Call of Duty Mobile works well enough, however, for on-the-go action. The game looks good and comes packed with some of the best content from the Modern Warfare and Black Ops series. There are still serious questions about Activision and Tencent’s monetization plans, but they have time to sort it out. Call of Duty Mobile won’t replace the mainline games, but it’s fun enough for some quick matches.<br>
