Call of Duty: Warzone is among the biggest battle royale games of all time. The live service entry of the beloved franchise has dipped its toes into the mobile division of gaming with Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile on March 21 for Android and iOS.
Mobile gaming is quite a leap from traditional console or PC gaming, where physical controllers are required to play. While it is a feature available through the use of Bluetooth, on-screen controls are the most common way to play.
First-person shooters are difficult to play, and some players took the time and effort to adjust some settings to their liking.
The obvious problem would be the movement limitations as well as the aim; both were reliant on external controllers or the use of a mouse, and those two are not proprietary in this gaming format. Some players were able to get hands-on and shared footage of how strong the aim assist can be with touchscreen controls and how much stronger it is with a controller.
Call Of Duty: Warzone Mobile’s Controller Aim Assist Is Deadly Accurate and Much Stronger
While players find the convenience of having physical controls to be beneficial, touchscreen controls were not all that bad even in the past. Mobile gaming has gone through a lot of changes to better optimize a gamer’s experience. In the case of Warzone Mobile, aim assist is evident, but even more so with a controller as an accessory, which can be a problem.

User RealBobbyPlays shared gameplay footage on his X page, and it shows how much stronger aim assist is with an actual controller compared to touchscreen controls. This could give players an extra edge against more skilled opponents, which raises the question if this feature is fair, especially for a competitive live-service title.
The developers may want to take a closer look before officially launching on all platforms, Players have grown accustomed to using external controllers on mobile games like Call of Duty Mobile itself. Touchscreen controls are fairly decent, but nothing compared to having analog sticks to help maneuver the character, look around the environment smoothly, and quickly turn to aim and shoot.
Call Of Duty Never Runs Out Of Controversies
Call of Duty has had countless issues through the years, some are purely based on the campaign being short, while others are justifiable, like gameplay components. The state of the game is plagued with cheaters; even UFC commentator Joe Rogan took the time to discuss how the competitive nature of the game turned players into cheaters.
While there is still time for developers to make some needed adjustments right before launch, it is still a good sign that this game supports external controllers for players who prefer a more traditional, and comfortable gaming experience. Regardless of the boost in gaming performance, it is user-friendly but needs to be seriously mitigated to avoid being used for cheating.
