"And in order to reach the largest audience in the world through the largest platform in the world, it is a different model than our traditional CoD games, and most traditional games for that matter.
"With mobile games, the business models are different," he says. But Plummer is insistent this does not have to come at the expense of those who do not want to fork out for sparkly weapons skins or other paid-for content. CoD: Mobile is quite aggressive in promoting the in-game goodies that will cost you real-world money, and a free-to-play game such as CoD: Mobile does of course have to make its money somewhere. In-game transactions have become such a normal part of mobile gaming that their inclusion here will probably not raise as many eyebrows as has their introduction in the main series. The words "mobile game" immediately conjure thoughts of mobile transactions and pay-to-win scenarios.

The next game in the series 'CoD: MOdern Warfare' comes out on October 25. “These are very well-proven set-piece environments that make our battle royale map a lot more engaging, fun and balanced play experience compared to our competitors, who may be learning this stuff for the first time.” So, if you're a CoD fan you'll recognise locations around every corner. "Battle royale is very popular right now and we have a really awesome battle royale experience that is a unique map compared to any other CoD game, but it features points of interest from across the franchise. “We’ve adapted them very faithfully to mobile. “These are maps that players who have played the games over the years will recognise and that have been battle-tested over so many years and hours of gameplay,” he says. The use of classic maps is not only for the sake of happy memories, however - Plummer says that these are play spaces that have proven their ability to provide a fun experience. Multiplayer mainstays such as team deathmatch, search and destroy and domination play like their console counterparts, and fan-favourite maps such as Crash, Nuketown and Hijacked will evoke nostalgia in CoD veterans. This extends to the game modes and maps on offer. This is not the case with CoD: Mobile, and it is obvious the developers have put a lot of work into ensuring that it looks, sounds and feels like a real CoD game. Some franchises have made their way on to mobile with what is in effect nothing but a generic genre game with a famous licence attached for marketing purposes. Chris Plummer is Activision’s vice president for mobile.
