Call of Duty: Warzone will drop on mobile at some point

The next time someone asks where you’re dropping in Call of Duty: Warzone, the answer may be “on mobile.” Activision announced (via a press release on the official Call of Duty blog) that the first-person shooter battle royale is going to be available on the go through mobile devices in the future.

The Warzone news didn’t come from a game trailer or formal reveal. Instead, Activision shared job listings through its Call of Duty blog and on social media channels to recruit for mobile developers.

While there aren’t any features shared about the game just yet, Activision states that “this large-scale, battle royale experience is being built natively for mobile.” This means that the Call of Duty Warzone coming to phones and other mobile devices won’t be a simple one-to-one port. This will be a brand-new experience being developed with portable players in mind.

Activision also states that the game is designed to “entertain gamers around the world for many years to come.” Considering Warzone’s live-service status, players can expect the mobile version to be similarly supported with various updates and patches post-release.

This isn’t the Call of Duty series’ first trek onto mobile devices. Besides Call of Duty: Zombies ports to mobile, Call of Duty Mobile released in 2019 and became the Android game of the year. Many have lauded the title as one of the best portable shooters on the market.

While there’s no word on a release just yet, we were given confirmation on a Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and a Modern Warfare 2 coming in the future.

The best weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

To the layman, every gun in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 probably seems the same. They all shoot bullets, right? In reality, that couldn't be further from the truth. Even when you take player skill out of the equation, each gun has vastly different stats and applications that make some, even within their own category, just plain better choices for everyone. Each gun is broken down into various stats, including recoil, ADS speed, damage, and much more, which makes it hard to easily compare them. When you factor in just how many guns are available as you level up and keep unlocking more, the prospect of picking the best ones becomes overwhelming. If you're trying to build the ideal loadout to dominate the current meta, these are the best weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for each weapon type.

We will detail the top picks per each class, and then list the rest in terms of how they rank.

It's been almost a year since last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released, which means it's time for the next installment in the annual shooter franchise. This time we're completing the trilogy (again) with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This entry has already generated a lot of hype among fans of the franchise for the inclusion, and return, of some highly requested features such as the mini-map and Zombies mode.

Sticking to the usual late-fall release schedule, Modern Warfare 3 will officially launch on November 10 of this year, but that doesn't mean you have to wait until then to get a taste of what's to come. If you play your cards right, you can get in on the beta to sharpen your skills before the competition.
