  1. [R2] Call of Duty® 5/5 · US Why Call of Duty Mobile is the best mobile game?: Cal of Duty Mobile is the best mobile game because you can’t compare the graphics with other games, and the experience is very good, and other things that makes this games the best mobile game ever.
  2. [R17] Call of Duty® 4/5 · US Crash: I wish that battle Royale would stop crashing

  4. [R43] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Lagging like crazy. Had to close the app: Game is insanely lagging, had to close the app several times while in the game. Even when I don’t see any downloads going on, it’s still lagging. Will wait for the next update.
  5. [R4] Call of Duty® 2/5 · US Awesome but has a really bad flaw: the game play is great and fun in general but i really dont think it’s necessary to ban people for hopping off for example I accidentally turned of my phone and kicked me out my game and i got banned for really long and its not the first time really annoying needs to be removed
  6. [R6] Call of Duty® 3/5 · US Ranked Search & Destroy: Need to start rotating new maps for Ranked S&D , been 2years since All we get in new skins and core games it’s really annoying
  7. [R10] Call of Duty® 2/5 · US Players: All these players are completely bots they all are useless like put us in the same skill range with our skills like dude this game sucks because yall con do you’re jobs like dude come on do better
  8. [R12] Call of Duty® 3/5 · US Just don’t become a Good player. Or you will be blocked: You will be paired only with Bots while the opposite team is full of modded accounts. (I.E. in a 10v10, your team til be 2 real players and 8 bots who just shoot at the sky or stand in your face. While the opposite team is 6 real players and 4 bots.). Next, (in regular games, and not “Unlimited” games) After they make ONE kill they already h
  9. [R22] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Dont play: This game is trash. Unplayable lobbies. Bad matchingmaking forces shipment way too much. Too many sweats for a casual gameplay. Pay to win. Bad all around. If you want a headache fine. If your going to make me lose the match by backfilling super sweats when im triple the score ahead then its just back out city
  10. [R33] Call of Duty® 3/5 · GB It used to be good: Been too commercialised, with no actual way to earn the ‘better’ weapons unless you pay. And don’t get me started on the number of times I’ve shot people in the head/chest to no effect, but a single punch from the ‘gloves’ or some stick means you die … Or, you’re not even being aimed at, but the bullets still find you anyway - even through walls. The game has become a bit of a
  11. [R53] Call of Duty® 5/5 · US Good but: Ty s game is good love every game mode but there is one problem with ptw it’s to ptw
  12. [R19] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Problemas: Pésima optimización en cada actualización. Tampoco se combaten a los hacker.
  13. [R31] Call of Duty® 2/5 · US UPDATE, update, UPDATE!!: Every time I open this app to play it requires to be updated to the latest version.
  14. [R63] Fortnite 3/5 · US Good experience but down side: So us mobile players have auto shoot but i don’t think its still balanced because we lag alot causing us to lose our games and its not fair because of lag so we should have more advantages like extra health or like anything we lag we get invincibility or a battle royale game mode that only allows mobile players so I’m going to rate it 3 stars also because in the batt
  15. [R65] Fortnite 4/5 · US This game has one problem: This game is wonderful and fun to play when days get boring passes the time when needed too. Oh but that’s on my ps5. The reason why I downloaded this is so I can not miss sprite or random Fortnite events on road trips. The problem is, is that it’s REALLY LAGGY. And it happens even when I’m in a house that has WiFi it’s LAGGY and for some reason whenever I go to sinister
  16. [R60] Call of Duty® 3/5 · GB The game is not bad: Pubg is still better than call of duty and call of duty is far more expensive compared to pubg…. Call of duty is greedy, you win if you pay…
  17. [R105] Fortnite 3/5 · GB More free options please: This game is heavily pay to win and we need to see more cheaper or free to win options.
  18. [R57] Call of Duty® 3/5 · GB Make the matchs fair: Good game but poor matchmaking, every time i get into a match I’m stuck with the most npc newbies ever and i genuinely have to carry my team and of course its not a problem if it occurs a couple of times but it happens in every match and obviously I’m not talking about a full npc/ai match, I’m talking about a real match, i would be blaming the players for not being good at t
  19. [R58] Call of Duty® 1/5 · US Design for you to fail!!!! -10 stars: In Call of Duty Mobile, friendly bots are programmed to path toward the highest-performing player on their team. Since your bot teammates cannot effectively track enemy movements on their own, their basic AI uses you as an anchor, which results in them visually flocking around you when you are playing well.While their intentions are to provide backup, this b
