Call of Duty: Vanguard

Was so excited for this game but am extremely disappointed. Mechanics are copied from cold war and MW. Campaign has numerous historical inaccuracies, theres combat shields in ww2, and reticle attachments that weren't introduced until the 1980's. Game also crashes consistently. It seems that Call of Duty let interns create their game to see how it would turn out/if consumers would still purchase the game and battle pass. 0/10 would buy, 10/10 would wait until Modern Warfare 2 comes out next year.

This game is great took all the best features of mw2019 unlike cold war it actually improved the gunsmith by allowing you to have 10 attachments and made it ww2 its worth it over battlefield 2042.

Campain - you watch more movies than play and charaters are dumb unrealistic.

Zombies - worst zombies ever and extreme boring

Multiplayer - garbage one of the worst.

Pleased to see a lot of cool new features added into this game, especially the addition of being able to select combat pacing. Gameplay feels like a big improvement. For me the multiplayer would be a 9/10 if it had better maps, but unfortunately some of them feel a bit boring.

Zombies on the other hand is sadly the worst I've ever seen it by quite a landslide. It no longer has the feeling of being dark and scary like WaW zombies was, and instead feels like a bit of a ridiculous arcade game. The addition of things such as elder gods, flying orbs and land barriers etc totally ruin the feel of zombies mode for me. If you play with zombie health bars on (another thing I think is ridiculous for fortunately can be turned off) then you'll find that the game is just a big clump of colours flying all over the place. I have no idea why they'd decide to get rid of round based zombies in favour of this but hopefully they'll change their minds soon, and let it return to its roots. If zombies was still the same as the Waw and Black Ops days, then I would say that this game is the best Cod we've seen since the PS3/360 days and would probably deserve a 10/10. However as it is it's probably a 7.5/10.

Let's talk about the campaign first, is it iconic? No. Is it revolutionise campaign? No. Is it decent? Yes. Especially the last cutscenes, that part tells a lot about Vanguard crew moving on foward. As a cod player that part really gives me chills. The middle part of the campaign is pretty bland. Too much backstory, less present events. It brings back that Cod WWII speciality from each individual. Which is great!. The characters, i would say some are iconic like Arthur and Polina but others aren't that memorable.

Zombie. This is the most disappointing zombie yet. Don't get me wrong but Vanguard's movement and engine compliment the horror vibe in zombies. I like that a lot. But the mode isn't doing it for me. With no pack-a-punch camo, no easter eggs, no wall buys. It really ruin it for me. But i can see a normal round base map work perfectly in Vanguard's theme. Looking forward for a massive improvement.

Lastly let's talk about the main mode for cod games. Multiplayer. It's a blast. Graphically stunning, great map flow. Really make me hooked up to the mode. The operators bonuses helps us grind for those camos. The movement is nevertheless perfection to the mode. But weapons needs a lot of balancing, glitches that is needed to be fix. Also the SBMM is very heavy, i would suggest for you not to sweat that hard. Try manage your K/D as near as 1.00. That will place you on the perfect lobby, not that sweaty and not that chill.

Is it the best cod? Not at all but it's a good game in the cod franchise.

As soon as Warzone Pacific release, Vanguard will gives you all the benefits to actually try the game. Same rewards and same movement system.

The theme is also repetitive, WW2. I know they could find something better than this soon.
