at the end of October 2019, Call of Duty: Mobile had a "lootbox" offering whose random chance was completely rigged, as well as having increasing costs with each draw (which was NOT mentioned anywhere and is generally learned about by spending money first).
It took 250$ to get 10 draws (the first one being under a dollar), and the first 8 were rigged to not have a significant prize, while the draw 9 and 10 automatically gave the 2 significant prizes, in a rigged order with the best prize on draw 10.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pj_7jTqjHkU youtuber ParkerTheSlayer posted about it, and soon many other youtubers verified it and made videos proving it and collated their data. It was unmistakably rigged, and massively misleading on the chance of prizes (not to mention the rising of prices for each draw, so that someone wanting all 10 put X10 the cost of the first draw, but that only gets 3 draws total).
Given the fact some people already gave the app the right to use the credit card for payment at this point, more money was easily obtained without displaying the true cost of the in-game currency, and many people were in shock that it cost so much after the fact.
That video showed a lawyer mentioning a clause waiving away class action lawsuits against Call of Duty mobile. So he wrote a letter to the attorney general, completely detailed in the video.
The game company has made no known comments at this time (someone edit the main page, please).

==Announcement==
Call of Duty: Mobile was announced March of 2019, and it was revealed that Tencent’s Timi Studios would lead the development of the game instead of Activision’s western development studios. Many of the game’s features were also revealed at this announcement, promising a familiar experience for returning call of duty fans. During the reveal, it was noted that Call of duty: Mobile would have "60 frames-per-second graphics, low latency, and super responsive controls" [1]
== Features ==
The aim of this Call of Duty game was to take familiar aspects from the franchise’s preceding titles and allow users to access them from their mobile device. Call of Duty: Mobile features many playable characters from previous installments of the Call Of Duty series such as Alex Mason, John “Soap” McTavish, and John Price. Playable maps from previous games like Nuketown, Standoff, and Firing Range are also included. Additionally, Call of Duty: Mobile has a selection of classic Call of Duty game modes to choose from such as free-for-all, team deathmatch, and Domination. Different control settings, mainly a “simple” mode, and an “advanced mode” were included to cater to player's preferences. Simple mode automatically fires when the player's cross-hair is on an enemy, while advanced mode features manual firing and the ability to adjust the HUD. [2]
A "zombies" game mode was added to the game in November 2019. This game mode follows the classic Call of Duty zombies formula where the player fights off endless waves of zombies, aiming to survive as long as possible. A "Raid" mode was also included where the player must defeat a set amount of waves of zombies before encountering a boss. The first map added to this game mode is an adaptation of the "Shi No Numa" map from Call of Duty: World at War. [3] FaughtRoby62 ( talk) 02:22, 5 December 2019 (UTC)

Can i change the Call of Duty Mobile app icon to the 1st Anniversay app icon? Russell Adler ( talk) 22:54, 1 November 2020 (UTC) From, Russell Adler Russell Adler ( talk) 22:54, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
Per WP:VG/RELEASE, we should be omitting non-English speaking regions from the infobox. China could remain though as TiMi is a Chinese studio, but other places in Asia should only be mentioned in prose outside of the lead and infobox. ~ Dissident93 ( talk) 11:20, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
Please keep dates after UTC; as (1) CoD:M uses in-game UTC and (2) it's more reasonable to go with one time zone in an article than time zones from all around the world. WorldTimeBuddy (or any other adhere) is a great tool to figure out the UTC date on that day. Law of Royale ( talk) 11:54, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
This page needs a list of all multiplayer maps. 216.255.22.140 ( talk) 11:19, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
It seems like an individual removed the composers which are also common fact through TiMi's division 'TiMi Audio Labs' official media and contents channels crediting of their composers as described in this [1] edit summary.
Please provide me the context for the removal so I can understand it; I don't see anything in the edit history.

You can see in official sources and other sources that the individual is the Game Director for 'Call of Duty: Mobile' as stated in my edit history [3]
