Call of Duty Mobilehas been out for about a week now, and the game has so far been met with enthusiasm from theCall of Dutycommunity. However, there has been some criticism aimed atCall of Duty Mobile’s use of bots, and some player shave also taken issue with its profanity filter, which seems to censor strange words.
TheCall of Duty Mobileprofanity filter keeps players from sending particularly nasty messages to others, but it also doesn’t let them use phrases that they may legitimately need to use when communicating about aCall of Dutygame. For example, the words “sniper” and “assault” are both reportedly banned by theCall of Duty Mobileprofanity filter for some players, which is strange since a player may want to send a teammate a message about using a “sniper” or “assault rifle.”

Another word banned by theCall of Duty Mobileprofanity filter is perhaps even more baffling. Apparently,Call of Duty Mobileplayers can’t use the word “domination,” which is actually the name of one of the game modes.
In our own testing, we were able to send messages to friends and create a recruitment announcement using some of the words that otherCall of Duty Mobileplayers haven’t been able to use. This included “sniper,” “domination,” and “assault.” It’s possible that theCall of Duty Mobileprofanity filter has already been updated or that it was erroneously blocking those words. It’s also possible that different words are banned in different regions, which would explain why we were able to send them and others could not.
Of course, a game likeCall of Duty Mobileis expected to be changed semi-frequently throughout its lifespan. It’s a live-service style of game, which means the developers will regularly be releasing new content and changing certain things, profanity filter included. More substantial updates will likely add new standard multiplayer maps, maybe even a newCall of Mobilebattle royale map, and a Zombies mode.
One future update could bring backCall of Duty Mobilecontroller support, but that remains to be seen. In the meantime, fans of the game can look forward to many future updates, especially ifCall of Duty Mobilemaintains its popularity.
Call of Duty Mobileis out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
