    Audio cut out, constant stuttering and drops.
    Fun game, when it works though

    Give us please a choice between ranked and unranked lobbies. It is very nice to play the first 10 matches and you really have fun with different types of players. But when sbmm turns on it starts to be much sweatier with every match. I want to play for fun and just relax.

    The same as every year nothing changes the same animation the same game loop they added the blitz mod which makes the game unplayable **** map design that you get boxed at spawn overpower guns and the list goes on the only good thing is the graphics if you want to buy it just wait for a sale it's not worth the money

    Мультиплеер сломанный, баланса нет как такового, геймпады с аимасистом скоро перестанут нуждаться в игроках. А самое страшное, что всё это скоро нужно ждать в Варзоне.

    Move your Body Call of duty !!!
    Call of duty Vanguard c'est un manque de travail du studio il nous ponde beaucoup de Map pour nous faire plaisir car on c'est plaint sur Cold war mais le jeux reste toujours aussi vide faut acheter le prochain pour que celui la soit complet. Ne parlons même pas du SBMM qui enlevé le plaisir de jouer .

    Tem diversos bugs, alguns são dentro da partida, outros são por fora, como por exemplo os desafios pra tu ganhar a camuflagem, vários estão bugados.
    Os mapas são os piores já feitos, sabe aquele mapa que sempre tem em todo cod e tu nunca joga pq ele não combina com o jogo? todos os mapas do vanguard são assim.
    Desbalanceamento que chega a ser ridiculo, as shotguns estão parecendo snipers nesse jogo.
    Por ter gráficos mais realistas, o jogo acaba sendo mais escuro e isso dificulta pra ver os inimigos.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To Be Honest, When This Came Out, My Excitement Was Over The Charts. But Then I Played The Game... WOW It's A Call Of Duty: WWII Copy. I Remember A Map In Call Of Duty 2 'Stalingrad' And Then I Saw a Map That Looks EXACTLY Like The Call Of Duty 2 Map

    Copy And Paste: 100%

    Now About Zombies...

    Call Of Duty: Ghosts Is Better Than Vanguard Zombies WOW

    No Bosses, The Zombies Are Broken, The Zombies Only Attack When You Shoot Them HOW ARE THE ZOMBIES BLIND??!

    Zombies: 0/10

    Campaign Time

    The Campaign Starts With A Task Force Called 'Task Force Vanguard' On A Mission To Figure Out What The Hell Is Project Phoenix. After Some Time, The Task Force Found The Documents Or Smth But Got Ambushed By The Germans. The Task Force Was Captured And Taken To Some Warehouse And Now There Is Activision Explaining Why Racism Is Bad For 7 Minutes. After The Talk, The Character That You Play Gets Killed With A Chair By The Villain 'Hermman Freisinger'. The Germans Take The Task Force To A Prison And Interrogate them One By One.

    Arthur's Backstory

    The Mission Starts Off In A Paratrooper Plane Where The Captain Is Explaining The Mission, After The Germans Fired Their AA The Captain Said This. "Looks Like The Krauts Already Know We're Coming" ... Dude, The Germans Never Knew D-Day Was In Normandy. Anyways Everyone Jumps Out, Arthur's Friend Caught On Fire And Burned His Parachute, This Scene Took SO LONG And It's Not Even Fun You Don't Even Have To Press Any Keys, I Actually Liked The Call of Duty: WWII Quick Thinking Feature Or Smth Where You have To Press Keys Fast or Else You Die. The Boys Then Landed And I Saw Excessive Warcrimes, I Can No Longer Support Activision Because Of This. The Boys Meet Up And Then Arthur Magically Becomes The Leader Of The Battalion. I Can't Even Tell The Whole Story, The Boys Finally Destroyed The Enemy Artillery. Great, Now We Can Move On To Stalingrad (It's Worse)

    Polina's Backstory

    Have You Ever Wondered What It Would be Like To Become A Russian Woman Doing Parkour Cause She Thinks She Is Dream? Call of Duty: Vanguard Answers Your Question! The Mission Starts With The Player And His Virtual Family Talking About Soviet Things. The Stupid Brother Forgot Some Molotov So The Game Tells You To Help. Now When I Looked Outside, Wow The Soviet Union Is Great Why Are The Actual Images Of The Soviet Union So Bad? Anyways, Polina Goes To A Medical Station Or Smth, But Then The Luftwaffe Arrived And Started Being Savages. I Immediately Got Destroyed By A Bomb And The Game Tells Me To "Flee From The Bombing More Quickly". I Then Got To My House And Picked Up The Sniper Rifle That The Germans Just Left, I Then Shoot A German Officer, Unfortunately I Triggered The Other Germans Who Shoots My Dad. I Won't Continue The Whole Story Go Watch A Video Bout' the Game Because I Don't Recommend Buying It.

    AMERICANO Backstory

    The Mission Starts Off With The Commander Explaining The Mission, I Then Get To A Plane And Take Off. Now In This Mission I See Stonks Of Historical Inaccuracies, So Get Ready For Historical Madness. I See Destroyers Next To USS Enterprise (The Carrier) But I Remember That There Was No Destroyers In The Movie 'Midway' And Midway Was Very Accurate. The Squadron Now Found The Japanese Carrier, Without Making A Detour. Alright, The Americans Found The Japs Because Lt. Com. Wade McClusky Spotted A Japanese Destroyer, McClusky Said The Destroyer Might Be Heading For The Fleet And It Was A Miracle That The Americans Found The Fleet. The Japanese Started Firing AA, And One Of The Pilots Said "Avoid The Flak" Hold Up... Japanese Flak? I'm Done With This. When You Dive Down You Are Squared In The Middle Of The Flag (Very Effective Target) And Then When You Drop The Bomb The Carrier Gets Destroyed Immediately (WRONG). Actually When You Drop The Bomb Even At The Flag, It Doesn't Get Destroyed Immediately. Then Arthur Said "Wade Was Known As The Greatest Pilot Of The War" He destroyed Two Ships. And Then some Jungle Vietnam Mission But The Enemy Don't Hide.

    I Don't Even Want To Do The Campaign anymore lets just do the horrible detail

    STG-44 In 1941-3

    AK47 In Stalingrad (AS44 Is A Prototype Rifle That Never Saw Service)

    Prototype Lee Enfield In El Alamein

    MG42 In 1941 (Tobruk mission)

    Warmachine (GRENADE LAUNCHER) wtf

    I Actually Liked The Graphics But Not The Gameplay, The Graphics Are Gold, The Gameplay Is Stone.

    Campaign: 1.25/10 (Because Of The Graphics Its 1.25)

    MP Is Just Violent

After his death, the same character you played for will follow the same method, but in the cutscene the NPC will set on fire. But you as a player will not do it....

    Multiplayer
    No words. This is one of the worst MP, that I ever played. Not only CoD games. Really. Gunplay doesnt work, matchmaking horrible, maps awfull and ugly as hell, recovery on the map in some modes you will die 30 times in a minute, because the game will throw you right next to the enemy.

    Zombies
    Forget that this mode would exist at all. The worst zombie mode of all CoD games. And the iconic and beloved weapons from previous episodes? They are not. Characters? They are not. Story? It's not.

    Just look at what kind of fools he gives 8 or more. Artificially created user accounts, which ideally "rates" on all platforms. I hope Meta intervenes and lubricates this solidly. The game, if I close all eyes and kill any realistic sight, does not deserve more than 3/10. And yes, I didn't have to buy the game, I got it.

    notice how the majority of the reviewers aren't talking about the hacker problems and just rip on battlefield, wonder if they are actual gamers, because the story is mediocre, and the multiplayer is a nightmare filled with hackers. in its current state the game is DOA, Activision didn't even bother releasing its anti cheat on day one knowing full well the game was already broken at Beta.

    Common warzone plug:
    The plot is a checkpoint;
    Multiplayer is created purely for pumping weapons and knocking out skins;
    The cards are not balanced;
    ttk is too fast for such a game.

Wrong lets talk the multiplayer the mode that you’ll spend the rest of the time when finishing the campaign    This is a disappointment , you had the game engine all ready done and can’t make the game right, let’s begin:
    The campaign is short wont go into details on it you have to play it your self- I thought they made the game like this so they can have a decent multiplayer mode right ? Wrong lets talk the multiplayer the mode that you’ll spend the rest of the time when finishing the campaign (or if you don’t play it all the time then)

    Lets talk multiplayer
    1.horrible spawns - this is the first game I played experience I spawn with 3 enemies behind me , I seen enemies spawn in front of me.
    2.dominations- like #1 it looks like sledgehammer don’t know how to program if enemies already spawn camping a base they should rotate your spawns to the other side giving you a chance to take other bases but no you can get spawn camp in an instant if your team mates can eliminate enemies soon enough for them get in position.
    3.explosions are like smoke grenades- I seen a lot of explosions and you can’t even see a thing because they last way too long so it’s annoying seeing this.
    4.Bad balancing teams- a level 1 all ready paired with prestige’s 3 really they all ready have good weapons with attachments and you’re not even playing with players with your level because you unlock the ability to edit load outs in level 4 so hey sledgehammer at least pair people with same level so they can level up first and unlock some things so they can defend themself with higher rank people. ( and im aware the battle pass has some weapons you can unlock that have good attachment but this is for people that don’t buy battle passes or can’t because whatever reasons but even that they should pair people with same ranks at least to get the hang of it.)
    5.new shipment- Horrible experience lets say spawn camp city look for videos you will see what I mean.
    6. Hackers- don’t need to say anymore this was the reason I stoped playing war zone in the first place.

    The champion hill mode - I should say its the one I felt more enjoyable becase here its competitive yes but I never gotten spawned camp or anything bad here for the moment But for me its good played in the alpha in the ps5 and still think is good.

    This is the last one I have and one of the most disappointing thing I seen I can even say even lazies thing and it is the operators - the operators you’ll get at random you need to complete challenges to unlock them that’s fine but the main issue I have is there are no opposing team of operators like heroes vs villains like other call of duty games this I mean because everyone can use the same operators if you have a separated operators sides then you can distinguish team vs enemies because if you run on to someone no many times you can see the red icon on the head to know if they are friendly or not, people can say look at the map to know but you know look away for a second it can be penalizing for the bad spawns.

    The reason I think sledgehammer are very lazy is because this people didn’t even made the engine so most of the work is already done they just did a reskin of a game so there is no excuse for everything I mentioned here (except for the #3 since its my opinion of that) they could have done a better job of the multiplayer since its the place where most players will be and honestly like I said they didn’t make an game engine so all that time they would had spend doing it would at least make the game fun but honestly it isn’t .

    So this is my opinion , I respect what others said as well but I disagree with many people thinking the game is 100% great when clearly it isn’t , even the game got a free week to play to try getting more players to the game but honestly with this issues I don’t recommend anyone buy this game from 50-70 dollars I don’t feel it wort that by the current state because this game is rushed beyond believe even after getting a head start with the engine .

    So this is my review thanks for reading , if you see the game free sometime play it every one has their own opinions , maybe some of the issues are fixed latter on except the operators since they where lazy enough to not create different sides, but hope of the others issues are fixed.    … Expand

    The campaign and multiplayer modes are decent, but the Zombies mode developed by Treyarch is in a HORRIBLE state with barebones gameplay, no launch day easter eggs, very little in terms of content to grind for. Extremely disappointing with the zombies mode, the other 2 game modes are passable but still not excellent. An overall forgettable experience that blends into past CoD titles.

The guns take WAY too long to level, especially considering the zombies and multiplayer modes are not in any way fun or engaging. This was just another low effort cash grab.… Expand

The game also forces you to only play certain play-styles, the only way you can compete in this game is if you wanna sweat and tryhard with smg's and bazookas.

    Then about the zombies, I never got to play zombies in this game but from what I've heard it's basically just a desperate attempt to copy Cold War's zombies, but even when given a simple task like copying and pasting something Sledgehammer has failed miserably if you wanna play modern cod zombies just buy Cold War or Black Ops 4 I guess.

    The 2 in 2/10 comes from Champion Hill being the only thing in multiplayer that actually feels unique and original to COD and that I have actually heard some good things about the campaign even tho I haven't played it.

    I hope next year's cod will be something worth pre-ordering. Oh and one last thing, the Atomic camo is the ugliest most piece of **** final camo in modern COD's, the only final camo that's uglier is probably COD: WW2's final camo.    … Expand

    I really enjoined the campaign, although short is is thrilling. But that is pretty much everything positive; Zombies is huge step back, Multiplayer is bad and unbalanced.
    First of all, what went wrong with Zombies? I thought zombies was great last year, Cold War, and had been steadily improving the past Call of Duty's, but this one is a missed opportunity.

    Multiplayer, you either love or hate it.
    Yes I know, it was only released a week ago, but still, can't developers take some more time to sort things out. Even the beta was not running properly and was full of bugs, why not scrap the deadline and work on it until everything is fixed. People that buy the game what to play a finished game, and not be testers.
    Unbalanced weapons, to be fair it is part of every game. But games like Call of Duty, where casuals and "Pros" meet, having unbalanced weapons is just straight up bad. Again, this will probably change over the course of the year.
    Maps, what is up with the maps? I have to say that the maps are, at least for me, the worst maps of the last few Call of Duties. They are super small, constantly winding, but camping and "pick off" spots on every straight. Run a couple of feet out of the spawn, shot dead by someone in a head-glitch or in a window, over and over. These are just the most basic map design ever. A path to your left, in the middle and to your right. To the left and right constant clashes on straights with people in head-glitches, behind cover, or in windows. In the middle a big fight with half of the enemy team.
    Spawns, they remind me of the infamous Modern Warfare 3 spawns, just bad. Running out of spawn at beginning of the round, getting killed, being spawned, being spawn-killed. Over and over again.
    For me personally, except for the career, this Call of Duty is a huge disappointment. While searching a casual lobby of TDM or Capture the Flag, it takes a good minute to find a lobby on Americas Region with an open NAT Type. Quite a few of people I was able to talk to In-Game were also quite disappointed.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If they don't fix the modders on this game I will never buy another Call of Duty game ever again and neither should you. Modders are RAMPANT on MW and Warzone and they're doing absolutely nothing about it do you know why? Because they're making money off of you being cheated and they don't give a fk..They don't want to ban them because they are a customer base and they don't want them to quit buying their games or give them negative reviews. Why pay all that money just to get online to be cheated? The ONLY players at the top of the leader boards are modders so if you buy this game get ready to spend a whole lot more money on mods just to be able to compete. I see people modding on Vanguard and eventually they will let them take the game completely over. Another thing that I've seen on Warzone is them trying to influence small children and young adults into being ga by including all of the sick creep flags on the calling cards. That makes me want to vomit. Nobody with a brain wants to see that and they should be sued over it along with the fact that they're soliciting drug use to children as well.

    Campaign: boring and lazy mash

    Multiplayer: Spawns completely random. Can spawn in enemy base solo, or between enemies in smaller maps like shipment, das haus. MVP votes completely not needed, get old fast and annoying when you already want to jump in into next map you are forced to vote as leave button is disabled by that point. To addition you will often see glitches and bugs when nazi ragdoll get smashed and whipped by invincible character. Best plays completely random generated. Player with fury multi kills overruled by dropping bomb hitting 1 enemy. When looking for quick play you are 80% of time put in games which are ending. And you cant pick map you want to play so if you want to go specific map just search and cancel. Camos challenges often glitched and some of them are ridiculous like preciously 3 line rifle 100 bloodthirsties.(when i do it they changed to prone kills). Kill streaks like dogs kills fun as well as hitbox is ridiculous to kill. Tell the difference between friend and foe on hardcore is very challenging as all blurs together.
    Season 1 is not acceptable at all. Incendiary grenades break all the fun of game. Shipmas looks like devs try to make fun of customers all glitches into flares smoke and shaky piece of **** Battlepass never been so lazy before. you try to survive for you no deaths kills camo challenge, you get krampus in your ass. ( completely unnecessary addition). And they still ask for majority cosmetics 2400CP - 16$.

    Zombies : Great mobile app.

    Think all customers need to come together and start petitioning refund as devs clearly having a laugh with this product. For 60$ you need to put effort not copy paste maps and slight change of code + reskin. And I do understand that all teams are stretched across 3 games, but that is not customer concern.

Game modes are as bare bones as they get, map design leaves much to be desired. Don't even get me started on the weapon customization, ripped directly from MW 2019, so now you can bubba all your favorite WW2 weapons till your heart's content. It's so dumb it's beyond parody. The ONLY selling point this game has besides carrying the franchise's name is new content for Warzone. Color us all surprised. This "game" more or less serves as a sandbox to level the new weapons you can use in Warzone.
    None of this should be a surprise, though. We all know Call of Duty's dev cycle is basically non-existent. How can they innovate with barely a year to develop the game? It's the same trap that's been killing Madden and Fifa for the past decade. But it makes hilarious amounts of money, so we will never get a Call of Duty that will fulfill it's potential. Easy, lazy money, because we all suck it all up year after year.
    What an absolute waste. With this dud of a game and Battlefield 2042 off to a less-than-stellar launch, Halo Infinite can't come soon enough. Maybe then we can all actually play a good FPS this year. Oh, did you also know it's Multiplayer is FREE?

    Horrible multiplayer. Bugs all over the place and generally unplayable. The playerbase seems to enjoy toxicity and the heavily expanded gunsmith is a little jarring.

    A big issue for me was the poor level design. It just felt like something was worse than what I already have. The guns felt really off and unsatisfying and I didn't like the way they customise or the lack of variety, which is not done half so well as they do in Black Ops Cold War.

    I absolutely despised the interface for all of that. It was awful and felt like a step backwards.

    They kept focusing on these corny character narratives and animations. Whereas I just couldn't care less. I just wanted a good multiplayer experience with lots of weapons and a range of decent maps.
    But it was not there. Even the graphics look like a downgrade to me. But I thought it was the same engine so I do not see why that happened. It feels like they focused more on cutscenes and characters I couldn't care less about, than gameplay and maps.

    The cutscenes drove me really nuts. If I wanted to watch an animated movie, I would buy one. Not a game. It was like when you have a movie you love, then a sequel comes along, made in today's hollywood environment, and it totally destroys it. Had to refund it as it doesn't really want to be a game. It wants to be a movie and the lack of focus on gameplay really shows where it matters

    Maybe it will mature. Remove the nonsense cutscenes, create far better maps. Which means less restrictive maps of a reasonable size. Remove the super annoying barriers to where you can go on maps. Sort out the weirdly inconsistent graphics.

    It desperately needs more weapons and customisation to earn progression and motivate me to play.

    They went off on a really odd direction with this, breaking the things I really like about Black Ops Cold War and trying to make an animated movie. Even the campaign is unplayable. Super scripted to the point you feel like you don't really matter that much.

    For me COD is a multiplayer game. This went backwards in a big way.    … Expand

    A VERY short campaign, unnaturally drawn out by blunt insertions and blockings.
    There are VERY few beautiful places. Secondary "landscapes" are painted poorly - walked 1.5 meters from the route and enjoy the corners, curved polygons, low-quality models and textures.
    Sounds awful - everything. The atmosphere does not create and the weapon is similar to paintball. The storyline is just    A VERY short campaign, unnaturally drawn out by blunt insertions and blockings.

    The storyline is just super dumb. In general, the game was done quickly in order to cut down the money.

    The return, unfortunately, was not approved by "played too much". Blizzard in this regard has an absolutely blunt-nosed system - we ourselves will decide whether you played a lot or a little.

    Multiplayer: there are few cards, few modes, the netcode is corrupted - on the kilcam it is often not at all what you saw.

    Over-all game experience is bad, games are slow and TTK ( time to kill) is way to fast. often you will get one tapped in foot with full hp. If you never have tryed to get a nuke or in this game a V2 rocket. its the game for you because it way to easy...

    The campaign is full of invisible walls, no real reason to explore the levels. Its basically close to be the same old WW2 story we have played though so many times. Will say the cutscenes, are good, like really good. The campaign is really short and you will be left with a feeling that you rather wants to play the cutscenes, then watch them...

    Graphics: Its like the game have three different types of graphics sometimes the game looks really good, other times a face of a human or dog will look like ****

    Multiplayer: The game is a Cod game... One new gun power level mode called "patrol" this mode is just a easy way to get gun levels, so you can use them in warzone... The game still has no focus on cooperative play, you are solo soldier running around, so dont expect anything from your teammates... in my opinion the multiplayer is worse in anyways... you will feel like a headless chicken running around and shooting in a room full of other headless chickens...

    Zombie mode is **** holy **** it suck's.... not cutscenes, no story, they removed aline gun, raygun and stormgun from the game mode... The mode it self is just three things you have to do... escorting a flying skull, havest dog tags and last thing defend against a blitz of zomebies coming out of the same holes... the zomebie mode is barebone nothing new...

    Call of duty vanguard is in my opinion a cheap cash grab... fast money for a dying company... but we can use the game for one thing. A reminder that we dont need a new COD game every year... We could wait five years and hope they would come up with something interesting and new... I have 95 hours in this game and i will never get them back...

    First off, I'd like to address the other negative reviewers in this section. As you will see, the main negative comment for this game is that the campaign was too woke. It is a shame that these negative reviewers identify more with the Nazis in the game than the Allies.

As you will see, the main negative comment for this game is that the campaign was too woke. It is a shame that these negative reviewers identify more with the Nazis in the game than the Allies.

    Very mild spoilers to explain:
    One of the first points in the story is that the Nazi leader can't understand why the black guy "who thinks he's british does he?" is allowed to lead the Allies' covert ops team. Apparently other reviewers, having seen that, and the interaction with the Army 93rd all black regiment, still don't understand that they are white supremacists in the same capacity as the Nazis and Jim Crow enthusiasts.

    The alleged "feminist" agenda is in reference to one of the covert ops team being a Russian female nurse that filled in as a sniper during the battle at Stalingrad and became a local hero. Nothing overpowering or forceful whatsoever. These reviewers are just so lost in their misogyny and racism that those plot points seem like the major themes of the story instead of vignettes to fill in character arcs.

    No story spoilers here:
    The campaign overall is one of the best in the COD franchise history, in tight competition with Cold War from last year for the best in recent history. The visuals are truly next generation, sporting the most realistic facial expressions you will see in any game for years to come. The writing and voice acting is superb on all fronts.

    Ultimately, though, you are not purchasing this title for the short-lived campaign spectacle, and instead want to know how the multiplayer and zombies game modes compare to other COD titles.

    Zombies:
    If you are desperate for the newest zombies experience, put away your wallet. The "zombies" mode in this title is incredibly underdeveloped. There is no easter egg. The pack a punch unlocks automatically after the first round. There is no depth of gameplay. It is not even the same round-based gameplay we all know and love. Zombies starts off in a relaxed "hub" area where players can vote on which portal to go through next. Each portal leads to one of three minigame modes. Once the minigame is complete, the team returns to the hub and you get to choose the next minigame. Dull. As. **** But it gets worse, after the first five or so minigames are completed, you then only have one option: play whichever minigame RNGesus allows you to play. No more choosing how you spend your time on this worthless mode, just the game begging you to stop playing so you can move onto something more productive and enjoyable in your pitiful existence.

    Multiplayer:
    Should be called "multiunplayable" in my opinion. Lag compensation is back with a vengeance my friends. You used to think when watching a kill cam "oh that's not what happened, I shot first". Well get ready to think "oh that's not what happened, I didn't see them spawn, hike six miles to my location, stop and set up camp, roast a pheasant they spent 2 hours hunting for on the fire, enjoy a supple meal, take a midday nap, spot my pasty white ass ambling across the no man's zone, fire 17 magazines into the empty space around me, then switch to their shotgun and no scope me 20 meters away, that's not what happened at all". If you think this is an exaggeration, waste $60 on this game and find out. Other things to note about multiplayer: the perennial bugs of server lag, camos and challenges aren't tracking, game crashing, and trash spawns make their appearances once again to remind you that ActiBlizz does not give a flying **** about fixing their games post launch. If you have had the pleasure of never playing COD before, this means that they will not fix these issues, just as they didn't with BO:CW, MW2019, and every single title before that.

    The campaign is the diamond in the rough of this game, and by "rough" I mean steaming hot pile of **** that I should've known better than to have invested money in, again.    … Expand

    Call of Duty: Vanguard maintains the usual high level of production of the Call of Duty series, with an excellent cinematic narrative that allows players to have an audio-visual experience of being in the battlefield. The online content is also excellent, the new zombie mode has many good parts, but the thin content makes it difficult to retain players for a long time. Overall, it is still a popular FPS worth trying.

    With Vanguard, Call of Duty returns to the roots of the series: World War II. The solo campaign is entertaining but short, and the multiplayer is exactly as expected: full of action and adrenalin. However, the few novelties are not spectacular enough to lift it above mediocrity.
