The optimization of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players reporting frequent crashes, lag, and poor graphics quality even on high-end devices. Many users express frustration over the game's inability to run smoothly, highlighting issues such as overheating, blurry textures, and significant performance drops. Despite some improvements noted in recent updates, the consensus remains that substantial optimization is still needed for a better gameplay experience across a wider range of devices.
- “The game was getting optimized better than before; on my second match, I can already see the difference in resolution, with less lag. I have not yet come across any bugs (yet). Overall, I give it a 3-star for the slow matchmaking.”
- “If Activision can nail the optimization, then this game would become an absolute beast.”
- “Been playing this game since the release; it didn't perform much at first, low performance, frame drops, stutters. I went back last week and the game amazed me how good it became. I'm using an S20 Plus with 12GB RAM, and the game is super smooth with resolution set to high. The game is enjoyable and better with a controller; I recommend you give it a try.”
- “The combination of poor graphics and unstable performance significantly detracts from the overall experience.”
- “This game is so poorly optimized that I had to finally uninstall it. I play on a Pixel 7 Pro, the graphics were very bad and the game was not optimized properly.”

Despite some minor improvements in touch accuracy and HUD functionality, the overall performance remains disappointing, leading to widespread frustration among users.
- “According to Google Play and MWM, 6GB should be able to run it decently, but will struggle, so I upgraded to a Galaxy S24+ with 12GB, and it runs great!”
- “I am not sure if everyone has this issue or if perhaps it's just me, but the game runs great, no lag, no overheating. Aside from the graphics, I am a happy paying customer.”
- “I'm on a fairly new Samsung, and it runs great aside from that.”
- “The game often freezes and crashes during multiplayer, which interrupts gameplay.”
- “Switching loadout makes glitches every time; the weapon becomes invisible, there's no ground at match start, random game crashes, and even the game menu is slow.”

The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of engaging content and optimization, with players expressing frustration over matchmaking issues and performance problems on mobile devices. Users hope for more co-op missions, ranked play, and quality-of-life updates to enhance the overall experience, while also emphasizing the need for better graphical settings to accommodate a wider range of devices. Overall, the narrative surrounding the game suggests a desire for improvement and a more compelling gameplay experience.
- “Pretty decent gameplay and experience, even though players need to have a high-end phone. This is new for mobile in 2024, but hopefully the dev team adds more engaging side missions, login rewards, and quality of life updates in the future, just like CODM. Also, more graphical adjustment settings for all-convenient players out there (mostly heat issue). Lastly, those premium skins are pretty worth it as they come as a bundle, high quality too, so please consider not shutting down the game like the rest, for COD fans.”
- “Moral of the story: play a better game until they finish this one (sorry for bad English).”
- “Matching the game is another story; it will connect me to the 'almost lose' game whenever their team is 10 points away from winning. The team you devs matched me with only had 1/3 of their score.”
- “The story is lacking depth and engagement, making it hard to stay invested in the game.”

While there is a desire to engage in prestige and camo grinding, the current glitches and limitations hinder the overall experience.
- “It's very confusing and tediously annoying.”

- “If the dev team would please be so kind as to optimize this game for mobile devices, it would be at the very least more playable.”
