There are also times when it looks like your man is in position to take out an enemy, though when you double tap the foe nothing happens. You can’t tell units to crouch unless you’re controlling them specifically, so you’ll have to switch back to first-person mode, swap into the soldier you want to control, and then crouch, then swap back – which is tedious and sloppy. Soldiers sometimes misuse cover, refusing to duck, for example, when an automatic turret is turning them into Swiss cheese. Unfortunately, the aerial mode has its share of problems too, mostly in the areas of AI and fine-level control. Playing Strike Team this way is fun, challenging, and brimming with tactical options. Because you’re almost always controlling multiple soldiers, it’s often possible to boost over fences, set up your own covering fire, or distract enemies for silent takedowns. This mode enhances the tactics of positioning and map awareness while negating the need for sharp, precise aiming. From the sky, you can direct your squad to cover, order them to fire, toss grenades, secure objectives, and more. The gameplay hook is that, at any time, you can switch from a first-person view to an overhead drone’s perspective. It’s a typical, contemporary war story, but without the excitement of seeing a nuclear explosion or getting shot between the eyes in the first five minutes.
Instead of being wholly designed around the device it’s played on, Strike Team is a middling, wishy-washy game with a crippling identity problem.Įven with snap aim, covering allies from the air can still be tricky.If you start tossing out random words and phrases from a Tom Clancy novel, you’ve got a pretty good chance of accidentally spoiling Strike Team’s plot. As always, shooting feels slow and imprecise on a touchscreen. But, alas, Activision wasn’t content to make a Call of Duty game without some first-person shooting, even though that part of Strike Team is its weakest aspect. At its best, it brings fresh ideas to the series, including squad combat and a top-down perspective that’s well suited for touch devices. Call of Duty: Strike Team for iOS is a slave to its own name.
