Six shooters to give you a Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 fix on iOS
Black Ops 3 just hit every major console imagineable and, if you don't have one, you're probably feeling pretty jealous right now.
Well, not to worry because you have an iOS device and, while you can't get the new CoD on there, there are plenty of decent alternatives in the App Store.
148Apps has scoured it to bring you this list of the very best shooters that can give you your Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 fix on iOS.
Modern Combat 5
FREE!
Modern Combat 5: Blackout feels a lot like someone decided to emulate Call of Duty in almost every way on possible with its action-packed single and multiplayer modes.
Unfortunately, the experience is slightly marred by some annoying free-to-play hooks and complicated touch controls.
FREE!
Afterpulse is a simple, straighforward, and gorgeous third-person multiplayer shooter.
While it's free to play, it doesn't have ads, and its touch controls are really easy to wrap your mind around.
FREE!
Blitz Brigade is a cartoony, team-focused take on the multi-player shooter, and it smacks of Team Fortress 2 meets Call of Duty.
With vehicles, different classes, and a whole host of game modes, Blitz Brigade is a great pick for the more team-focused player.
FREE!
Overkill 3 is a third person cover-based shooter that is a quality pick for anyone really jonesing for a co op experience where movement controls are a non-factor.
I say that players need to be hurting for it mainly because the game offers little beyond this gimmick.
Brothers in Arms® 3
FREE!
Do you long for those days when Call of Duty was all about World War II? If so, Brothers in Arms 3 can scratch that itch for you.
Though it is bogged down by some ads and free to play stuff, Brothers in Arms offers high quality single- and multiplayer action from the Great War.
Call of Duty®: Strike Team
$6.99
Why go for something similar when you can just pick up an actual Call of Duty on iOS?
Well, while Strike Team provides a lot of Call of Duty-style gameplay with the added bonus of incorporating a tactical view for managing the action from above, Strike Team lacks multi-player of any kind, which could be a dealbreaker for some.
