Here are five of the best Call of Duty multiplayer maps of all time.

Xbox boss Phil Spencer has taken to Twitter to talk about one of the key bones of contention surrounding the agreed acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft. While Sony has stated that they expect Microsoft to honour contractual agreements with Activision, Spencer has now confirmed that it’s Microsoft’s intention to “keep Call of Duty on PlayStation.” Had good calls this week with leaders at Sony. I confirmed our intent to honor all existing agreements upon acquisition of Activision Blizzard and our desire to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation. Sony is an important part of our industry, and we value our relationship. — Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) January 20, 2022 This follows previous statements in interviews that “It’s not our intent to pull communities away from that platform and we remained committed to that,” but there’s still plenty of leeway in the practical act of keeping COD on PlayStation. This is a statement that has absolutely been framed in a way that’s meant to please government regulators, similar to those made in the run up to the Bethesda acquisition last year. Call of Duty is no longer a single product line for Activision, and is instead made up of the yearly main game releases like Call of Duty: Vanguard, alongside the free-to-play battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone, and the free-to-play mobile shooter Call of Duty: Mobile. Sony has an exclusive content agreement with Activision that guarantees them some kind of bonus content for PlayStation. When regular map packs were still a thing in 2015 that was a one month head start on DLC releases, but that has morphed into PlayStation exclusive game modes and now, for Vanguard, PlayStation exclusive cosmetics and XP boosts. The most likely course of action for Microsoft to take is to have the main Call of Duty games continue to release on PlayStation through the course of the agreement with Sony – up until the 2024 Call of Duty if they have been signing 5-year deals – and only then shift the game to being an Xbox exclusive. After that point, Microsoft can say that COD is still on PlayStation by keeping a free-to-play game like Warzone on Sony’s consoles. It could even be that Call of Duty no longer sees yearly releases, as Spencer said in an interview with the Washington Post that he will talk with the many studios toiling on COD content “about working on a variety of franchises” from the Activision Blizzard vaults. Even the developers of Crash Bandicoot 4 and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 have been roped into supporting efforts at Activision and Blizzard, and there’s no denying that it would be good to see Activision’s 11 studios no longer beholden to grinding out content for a single franchise. Further Reading: What does Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard mean for gamers? All of this follows Microsoft’s track record with recent acquisitions. Psychonauts 2 was a cross-platform release, albeit with an Xbox Series X|S exclusive upgrade for the new generation, while Wasteland 3 was released with Koch Media publishing. Similarly, despite having acquired Bethesda at the start of last year, Microsoft is honouring the exclusivity agreements that have made Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo into timed PlayStation 5 exclusives. Of course, where there hasn’t been an existing agreement, Microsoft and Bethesda have confirmed that Starfield, Redfall will be Xbox console exclusives, and hinted that The Elder Scrolls VI will follow suit.

A lot of new features are here.

The post Call of Duty: Mobile season one, 2022: Full patch notes and updates appeared first on Dot Esports.

New Call of Duty Mobile content arrives with the launch of Season 1: Heist on January 19 at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET. The new season brings Lunar New Year–themed events, more maps, and a new battle pass to grind.

Season 1: Heist will bring a new 50-tier battle pass of cosmetic items. The free tiers of the pass include the new Storm Ball tactical item unlocked at tier 14 and the addition of the PPSh-41 submachine gun at tier 21. Other free items include a variety of camos and weapon blueprints. Premium tiers will include operator skins for Makarov, Iskra, and Ajax, while new weapon blueprints arrive for the Rytec AMR sniper and Man-O-War assault rifle.

New multiplayer maps and modes

A new season also means new maps. Black Ops 4's Hacienda makes its mobile debut, which is a map set at the estate of a crime lord located within the Spanish countryside. While the second map for Heist is not a completely "new" addition, Nuketown gets an architectural remake for the Lunar New Year as Nuketown Temple.

Following the Lunar New Year theme, the new Red Envelope Confirmed mode will arrive to Call of Duty Mobile at the end of the month. Red Envelope Confirmed is 10v10 Kill Confirmed themed for the holiday, where players must collect red envelopes in place of dog tags. Players can earn additional rewards like credits and cosmetics by collecting enough envelopes in the mode.

Battle Royale updates

A new year of content also brings changes to battle royale. Both the Isolated and Blackout maps will receive holiday decorations to celebrate the Lunar New Year. Players can also expect some new points of interest and content for the maps. On Isolated, the Ski location will be updated and include a snowboard mini-game. On Blackout, the Hydro Dam will be updated with snow and a new aerial platform. This platform will include a mini game to shoot down hot air balloons, which Activision says will let players witness winter spectacles.

New events and challenges

Season 1: Heist adds two new events to earn extra cosmetics. In the Winter Wish event, players can choose their favorite rewards from a pool of items, and then complete missions to acquire tokens to spend on unlocking those selected items. For the Lunar New Year Puzzle event, players earn puzzle piece tokens for completing different tasks, slowly revealing a puzzle over time and earning rewards in the process.

Lastly, Call of Duty Mobile's new seasonal challenges will offer an array of tasks to complete in both multiplayer and battle royale in exchange for rewards, such as new weapon blueprints, weapon XP, and various cosmetic items.

In major Call of Duty news, Microsoft announced it has acquired Activision Blizzard--pending regulatory approval--in a deal to be valued at nearly $70 billion. Activision Blizzard has been struggling as of late with employee walkouts and lawsuits and other investigations related to alleged sexual harassment and discrimination against women.

COD Mobile like every other mobile game offers a variety of monthly to weekly free rewards or items that players can gain through various different methods like playing specific game modes to redeeming special codes.  With season 11 coming to a close very soon and the hype for the next seasonal update building up, the […]
