Meanwhile, six classic Call of Duty characters have been confirmed:

Outside of this content, Activision detailed miscellaneous Call of Duty: Mobile content, including:

• Players can have five loadout slots, each containing a primary weapon, secondary weapon, grenade, weapon skill and three Perks
• Choose between two control schemes — a ‘Simple Mode’ (allows automatic fire when the crosshair focuses on an enemy) or ‘Advanced Mode’ (manual firing, HUD customizations and the ability to choose set specific shooting options like aim down sight or hip firing, depending on the gun)
• There are 17 sliders of aiming sensitivity for further customization
• Scorestreaks are featured to offer rewards based on the amount of score a player earns in a single life in most cases (such as the Recon Car, UAV, Hunter Killer Drone, Air Supply Drop or Air Strike)

Finally, Activision says beta testing of the game is underway in India and will open up to other countries “in the coming months.”

In the meantime, Android users can pre-register for Call of Duty: Mobile on the Google Play Store.
