Call of Duty thumbnail tips
How do I make CoD thumbnails readable on mobile?
Use one subject + one weapon, keep text under 12 characters, and rely on HUD cards for extra info. The template grid locks these ratios for you.
Can I show tuning values?
Absolutely. Drop your tuning screenshot or type the values into the stat card component; it auto-aligns with the weapon art.
