Call of Duty: Vanguard

The worst Call of duty game i ever played and it s the last one.

Call of duty developers have no talent all they care is money.

This game is worst WW2 game of all time. Charaters in this game are comical one.

Preordered the game last second because the campaign looked very promising as per usual with any Call of Duty release. Not finished with the campaign but so far I am having a great time. Some very intense moments and even on Veteran difficulty it's not unforgiving. Characters are very well acted and set pieces are amazing, some instances I felt myself looking at the environments more often than I probably should. Even on a standard Xbox One the graphics are top notch, can't wait to upgrade to a Series X. Haven't played multiplayer or zombies but it's as to be expected from any other Call of Duty release I'm sure. Was a big fan of Cold Wars Zombies mode. Long story short, 7/10 so far for, amazing acting, graphics, smooth gameplay, great story.

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.

You may think Im a halo or battlefield fanboy, but no, I love fps and I love call of duty. My first call of duty, funnily, was world at war, and I can just remember how magical it was for to play it. To this day it is my favorite call of duty along with bo1. Now, you may have probably seen my 4/10 am immediately thought my review was nonsensical but hear me out. All this criticism is in hopes of a better future.

REVIEW STARTS HERE: I will review the 3 aspects of the game and rate each of them

Campaign: Terrible, just terrible. One of the worst Cod campaigns in history. It has you playing through flashbacks of the main characters past. The idea was terrible and the executions was also terrible. This campaign felt like it was setting up for a story, not making its own story. The gameplay is also bad, as the game holds your hand throughout the campaign, and doesn't give you any freedom. Although being linear doesn't make a campaign bad, if the story is bad as well, there is no redeeming part about the campaign. It was no fun to play through the campaign but to be fair, campaigns aren't the real attraction of the game.

1/10

Multiplayer: While not great, it is definitely the best portion of this game. The multiplayer is not bad, but it takes a step back from past call of duty multiplayers. It is generic, and it feels as if you played the same thing before. Cold war did not have a great multiplayer, but at least it did not devolve in the same way vanguard did. Sure, there is combat pacing, which seemed like a super innovative idea, but in practice, it either made the game insanely slow, or you getting killed as soon as you spawn. The game lacks the balance between both. I need not talk about sbmm as there are already enough issues.

5/10

Zombies: Zombies is generally that last source of entertainment, for bad a call of duty. Its generally a redeeming part of the game. In fact my enjoyment of many recent cod games as purely relied on zombies. The sad thing is, that treyarch, the zombie king, managed to mess up zombies. It is so hard to do that. They have removed all the fun and quirky guns, and zombies literally was a breeze. There was no content. It was literally multiplayer maps thrown in, and you shoot at hordes of zombies for about 1 hour. Thats it, and zombies is done. Zombies was terrible.

1/10

Overall Multiplayer is the core part of the game, but that game lacks anything significant that makes it new and enjoyable. Instead, it ends up being a massive step back from past cods. The zombies and campaign were even worse. It is hard for me to play this game, and I will likely not touch it again when battlefield 2042 and the new warzone map comes out. This was sad but expected. :(

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.
