    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Activision has revealed the first trailer for the zombie mode Call of Duty: Vanguard. There is a version completely in Russian.Although everyone who wanted to, already had time to watch it a few hours before the premiere due to a failure of YouTube algorithms. edgehammer Games, Treyarch and Activision publishing still showed the first trailer of the zombie mode Call of Duty: Vanguard with hordes of monsters, threatening speeches of villains and Billy Ailish. This time it's official.

    Now you can watch it not only in normal resolution and quality, but also completely in Russian.

    The game will be released on November 5 on personal computers, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X / Series.

    Why are we doing WW2 again? HOW MANY TIMES ARE WE GOING TO BE DOING THE SAME NONSENSE. Woke garbage and changing of history to fit that woke agenda is horrible. New engine apparently and it looks awful. I'm done with call of duty. Just done.

    Very bad overall. Firing is kinda not fun. Hit boxes are random. Maps are or too big or too small. You respawn next to enemies to get killed and repeat. The worst Call of Duty.

    Zombie mode is bad. Sniping is absolutely terrible Maps are dope, gameplay is terrible. 2 gun metas. Campaign is utterly boring. Multiplayer has poorly level designed maps, they look good, but poorly executed and no passion on the multiplayer side.

    Time to switch to Battlefield 2042.

    Absolute garbage. I played for several hours in the open multiplayer beta and deleted it the same day. This review will cover only multiplayer. Note that I haven’t played CoD seriously since BO3.

    Pros - • weapon customization Cons - • historically inaccurate, sometimes criminally • awful multiplayer maps • bad spawns (spawning behind enemies or even in front of them) • guns either kill
    Absolute garbage. I played for several hours in the open multiplayer beta and deleted it the same day. This review will cover only multiplayer. Note that I haven’t played CoD seriously since BO3.

    Pros -
    • weapon customization

    Cons -
    • historically inaccurate, sometimes criminally
    • awful multiplayer maps
    • bad spawns (spawning behind enemies or even in front of them)
    • guns either kill in two shots or are hit marker simulators, there is no middle ground
    • kill streaks (instead of score streaks) encourage players to play TDM in every game mode and ignore objectives
    • boring kill streak rewards
    • so many explosions and particles that you literally cannot see anything in some maps (my particles were turned all the way down!)
    • way too much flair with very little substance

    Play the open beta and see for yourself. Don’t waste your money on this garbage.

    SBMM Ruins it a little bit. Gunplay and sound design are still a downgrade from modern warfare sadly. Also the operators ruin it a bit i think along with the censorship. Shotguns are broken atm.
    That's about it, still a solid CoD tho.

From Germans using Sturmgewehr-44 in 1942 Stalingrad to some girl running around like she's another Assassin's creed character. German juggernaught soldier's who guard high-ranked villains, inaccurate uniform and tank model representations for their times along with a whole list I could mention. It's not worth your money unless you desperately want to support historical inaccuracies and play some power-fantasy campaign. Multiplayer doesn't feel innovated compared to the previous games and the attachments with most guns are nowhere near WW2-esque to be believable. This game had alot of potential from the trailers, but was butchered and ruined by their simple and non-existant historical sources and writing. Zombies is not even worth mentioning as it becomes boring very fast, nothing innovated other than few missions you do and then jump into some portal from multiplayer maps that got changed over to Zombie-styled theme. Activision shouldn't get away with 60 bucks for this. Hope this helps someone save their money.

    Super fun.... for about 2 hours

    Disregarding the bug and errors (of which there are many and which we know will never be fixed), after about 2 hours the sbmm will kick in and the game is unplayable.

    Not because of sbmm per say, but the game will start mactching you with so wide that the desync is about 2 x ttk. Which makes the game completly unplayable

    This latest installment deserves low ratings. For a WW2 game, it should have some reasonable accuracy. Picking up an STG 44 in 1941- really? And what about a black soldier and a Russian in Russian uniform on a mission to Germany as if no Nazi will notice them is completely laughable. The only saving grace are the cutscenes.

I opened a ticket with Activision, and was told repeatedly, with an increasing amount of attitude, that all purchases are final and there was absolutely nothing they could do. Impossible to issue a refund, impossible to undo the purchase, etc. This is so obviously not true that it's almost laughable (really, how hard would it have been for them to just refund me my money?). It's a blatant disregard for customer satisfaction and quite frankly a scam to squeeze even more money out of the consumers for an already overpriced game. Unless this issue is somehow resolved (not holding my breath, my support ticket case is already closed), I will not be buying any more Activision products and neither should you.

    It's not like the bar was set very high for CoD this year. We all know what to expect, and yet they still fail to meet that expectation.

Barely any thought put into Campaign, to no one's shock; lazy AI coding, and multiplayer that does everything MW 2019 did, just worse.

Barely any thought put into Campaign, to no one's shock; lazy AI coding, and multiplayer that does everything MW 2019 did, just worse. 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?
    Please for the love of your wallet, save your $70 for something actually worthy of it. Buy some groceries. Get a fresh new pair of shoes, even. Just not this.

    Multiplayer is bad, you get killed instantly all the time, and the maps are pretty bad. DO NOT BUY THIS ****

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

    Another cod game with no soul... and a game that has succumb to wokeness... 30mins in game and you alleredy gets shoved down a big pile of feel bad that you are a man with a high ego.... Sad times, sad times...

    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... Dont do what i did and spend 95 hours in this game.....

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.

German juggernaught soldier's who guard high-ranked villains, inaccurate uniform and tank model representations for their times along with a whole list I could mention. It's not worth your money unless you desperately want to support historical inaccuracies and play some power-fantasy campaign. Multiplayer doesn't feel innovated compared to the previous games and the attachments with most guns are nowhere near WW2-esque to be believable. This game had alot of potential from the trailers, but was butchered and ruined by their simple and non-existant historical sources and writing. Zombies is not even worth mentioning as it becomes boring very fast, nothing innovated other than few missions you do and then jump into some portal from multiplayer maps that got changed over to Zombie-styled theme. Activision shouldn't get away with 60 bucks for this. Hope this helps someone save their money. 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

    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.

    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.
