Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile: the series survives the transition between platforms

Oh, and we're off into the hot zone, and with a hot phone. There's snow on the ground in Verdansk, but after five minutes of playing the mobile version of Call of Duty Warzone this morning, my aging iPhone 11 was getting pleasantly warm. Warzone's a beast on phones, actually: even before the game began, there was a battle royale of sorts as I deleted apps to free up space. Then the download. Then the various EULAs and all that jazz.But it's a beast where it counts, too.

Graphically it's pretty good! I don't really see COD as a game where the finer details of the environment truly matter; it's more important that things move at a clip, as Warzone on mobiles does. The draw distance is generous and, while I had worried about visibility issues with spotting enemies on the horizon on such a small screen, I've been fine so far, even with my 45-year-old eyes.

I settled in surprisingly quickly, actually. I'm bad at Warzone in general, and I can report I was bad in much the same way on mobiles. After a few quick deaths I realised I needed to revert to my old tactic of hiding in garages and in the empty bellies of planes, and then creeping out only when the cloud was moving. Such is the pace of Mobile Royale, which is surprisingly tense and brisk stuff.

One of the things I had wondered, sneakily, is whether the shift to phones would give an older, slower player like myself more of a chance. I'd say yes and no. In the early days of Warzone on mobile there are certainly lots more players like me who are slowly getting to grips with the basics, moving slower, aiming slower, thinking slower, shooting slower.

So it's Warzone, and it's on phones, and the caveats you'd expect are in place, and the care and attention I'd hoped for is also present. It reminds me of the days in which Fortnite was on iOS, actually: here's a familiar game, gently compromised, but with you on your commute. And at least an added bonus is that, when the game gets cooking, you won't need gloves in the winter.
