Call of Duty Mobile, TiMi Studio's incredibly successful mobile take on the Call of Duty franchise, offers one of the most diverse first-person multiplayer experiences on mobile devices. The game features standard Call of Duty team-based multiplayer game modes, a 100-player battle royale mode, and also for-fun modes like Prop Hunt. TiMi isn't resting on its laurels, though. Call of Duty Mobile has another major game mode addition now available -- the competitive Tournament mode.
Tournament mode in Call of Duty Mobile is, as the name implies, where competitive players will go to test their abilities against other top players. Since Ranked Play in Call of Duty Mobile is focused on squads, Tournament is focused on individual players or duos. The five options for modes within Tournament include Gunfight, Gunfight Team Deathmatch, 2v2 Team Deathmatch, 2v2 Kill Confirmed, and Free For All.
As for how Tournament works, it's somewhat of a misnomer. Instead of a bracket or competitive structure, each "tournament" will task players with competing in four consecutive matches of the game mode they select. The goal is to win as many of those matches as possible. Depending on how many of the four matches players win, they'll receive different tiers of rewards, with four wins granting the best rewards. There's no indication that difficulty will go up or down depending on wins or losses.
The reason for playing Tournament is twofold, for the weekly exclusive rewards and to compete on the leaderboards. Each week will have unique rewards, acquired through getting wins and accruing Crowns. Earning enough wins and topping the Tournament Leaderboards also earns additional rewards. The top 20%, 15%, 10%, 5%, 1%, 1,000, 100, and top 3 on the Tournament Leaderboards can earn some really exciting loot. Just keep maximizing those tournament wins.
While Tournament mode may not be the kind of bracketed tournament experience some Call of Duty players would hope for, it should hopefully still be an improved competitive option over what's currently otherwise available. Players in Tournament will be striving for wins in a way they aren't otherwise, and will be rewarded for their efforts.
As ever, there are plenty of other game modes in Call of Duty: Mobile remaining should players not enjoy Tournament. The new competitive mode won't be replacing anything, so Call of Duty: Mobile's favorite modes will be ready and waiting for players to return to if Tournament doesn't work out. Otherwise, it should hopefully make for an interesting new experience to try out. Tournament is available now.
Call of Duty: Mobile is available now on iOS and Android devices.
