    El mejor cod de los ultimos 10 años con diferencia por mucho que digan tus influencers favoritos o por mucho que te hayan curtido el lomo, y viendo la Beta de MWF2 volvemos para atras. He jugado 3500 partidas y no me cabe duda que con todos sus defectos es el mejor Cod en mucho tiempo.

    overall i rate this years call of duty campaign a 9 out of 10 for the sole reason been that it was only between 6-8 hours long and could have been a longer but if activision take a year off making call of duty and really invest hard into the story and a lot less into the warzone multiplayer, then i don't see why the game wouldn't have the mass appeal as black ops 1 and 2 or modern warfare 2.

    Абсолютно согласен с одним из комментаторов - игра не стала революционной, но этот проект куда лучше нового Battlefield 2042 и предыдущей части CoD Cold War. В игре далеко не самый лучший сюжет, однако техническое совершенство игры позволяет насладиться им. Если же говорить о многопользовательском режиме, то он, по моему мнению, не изменился и остался вполне хорошим.

This game REALLY needs more polish and it's time that activision doesn't make the developers rush their games. I think that if this game fixed the overpowered killstreaks, nerfs the shotguns, fixed the mode rotation on ship haus, fixes glitches, fills zombies with more content, fixes the camo challenge bugs, and fixes the riot shield bugh then i would actually admit that Vanmguard would be a solid 10, im being honest. I am going to give it a 8 because that's what i think it will be in atleast 2 months time!… Expand

    Call of Duty Vanguard
    Pretty Hit or Miss
    Call of duty vanguard isn’t the best call of duty but I actually really love the direction they seem to be going with campaigns, this time about 6 hours which I think is a great length.. Vnguard sets out to tell a story of war heroes during world war 2, similar to the battlefield 1 campaign, youll go through each characters stories and it isn’t    Call of Duty Vanguard

    Call of duty vanguard isn’t the best call of duty but I actually really love the direction they seem to be going with campaigns, this time about 6 hours which I think is a great length.. Vnguard sets out to tell a story of war heroes during world war 2, similar to the battlefield 1 campaign, youll go through each characters stories and it isn’t all just run and gun, there are some amazingly immersive moments here, great stealth sections through a forest, a section where youre a sniper, there are horror like moments keeping you on your toes as you go through buildings, did I love the characters themselves? Not so much, none were memorable to me, but I do appreciate the attempt to flesh them out, to create a series that players can look forward to.. the campaign again isn’t the best, but I did appreciate the effort here.. I appreciate the variety how each of thse 6 hours felt different…
    And onto the multiplayer, first off, lets just skip over zombies, I don’t like zombis I never have and Ive heard this year is the worst yet, si I hopped right into multiplayer.. The multiplayer this time is pretty bare bones, but hey.. I actually like that.. I like the simplicity of pick a load out, use that gun to level it up, go through the typial team deathc match, capture the flag, search and destroy modes.. however the gunplay just isn’t fun for me this year, the maps are pretty bland as well.. I did have an enjoyable few hours with multiplayer but after a weekend of play times, there wasn’t enough to hook me in like past titles have..
    Call of Duty anguard is a great call of duty game..
    Will it quickly b forgotten the moment the next shiny multplayer shows up? Yes, this will not be a staple in your multiplayer collection, but for the time I spent with it, its pretty solid, especially the single player campaign,

    Love the historical narrative. And sprinkled with precise historical facts like Adolf reading the Madison Grant's book. Love the attention to detail.

    Yeah i really like single player campaigns.

    I'm gonna give it an 8 because I love the multiplayer. It's surprisingly lots of fun...but having to level guns all the way to 70 is a bit ridiculous and unnecessary. 50 to 55 is a good max. We dont need 20 different scopes Activision! The zombies mode for right now is absolutely terrible and painfully boring. Hopefully it improves drastically by season 1

Os mapas não são repetitivos e tem uma estrutura bem única e bonita, além de re-fazer 2 mapas do antigo COD WAW que estão sensacionais. A variedade de armas e vem vasta para um lançamento de um cod novo, muito superior à alguns dos cods recentemente lançados e que com certeza vai ganhar muito mais conteúdo com tempo. Infelizmente o zombies é bem enjoativo mas apresenta também muitas mecânicas noas e pode ser divertido para jogadores novos! Oque eu posso dizer? Venha se divertir também e compre o novo cod vanguard!… Expand

    Excellent game! Strong campaign. Far from historic, but fun nonetheless. Great immersion, amazing visuals, good gameplay dynamics. I am especially astonished at the quality of the cutscenes. So much effort went to create them. They look next level.

    Multiplayer is fun as usual. Nothing groundbreaking.

    Can't believe i'm even saying this about Call of Duty, but this game i seriously fun. It's nothing extremely new or groundbreaking, but it still managed to be way better than my expectations. Marketing was absolute trash for this game, so i wasn't even waiting for it, but i wanted to pass time until GTA Trilogy comes out, so i bought it and it's good.

    Really solid CoD, possibly my third favorite after Modern Warfare (2007) and Modern Warfare 2 (2009). Good 4-6 hour story (depends if you take your time or just rush), fun multiplayer that has some spawning issues that need to be fixed.

    Just ignore the haters, these guy have zero idea what they are talking about. Half of them are hating just to hate. I can literally feel BF fanboys salt right now, because they know that BF2042 is buggy and lacks content and they just can't stand the fact that Vanguard turned out to be that good.

    When man is badass in any of these missions then that's completely fine and normal, but when woman (this character is based on real life person btw) happens to be badass in ONE mission, then it's woke?

    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.
