    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.

    Story is about 6 hours long, very good graphics, basically no bugs, very fun. If you are hating it, you are just delusional and wanna hate just to get attention.

    This is most hilarious CoD launch of all time lmao. There's CoD hating Youtubers getting nervous breakdowns because people apparently like Vanguard and are having fun. This is just amazing.

    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? By the way in last mission you play as white Australian guy, but apparently that's not enough, you guys still whine. Woman has one mission, so the whole thing is just trash automatically?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?

    Do not play this game if you like history or good games. Story is boring. Characters are just as cringe as they can be. Guns were designed by someone who never seen or shot a real gun. Wokeness of this game is changing real history to fit their narrative. Why are they doing a WW2 game when almost everything there is historicaly incorrect? I just can not find any good aspect of this game.

    No more money for revisionists. This game is vampirised by feminists who want erase the white male in history. Boycott, there are plenty of videogames to do. If you are a feminist, would you kindly downvote ?

    Pretty sure it wins some game of the year awards for cutscenes, maybe even music. Very well done campaign. Fun multiplayer, zombies are trash tho.

    Battlefield2042 has 22 guns and people are hyping it up like it would be some next coming of shooters lmao. Vanguard - best shooter of 2021.

    One of the best graphics of 2021, idk what battlefield is doing, because they should learn from Vanguard. This is complete product. 16 very good maps, over 30 guns, single player (battlefield doesn't even have that, what a joke), fun multiplayer, very, very, very few bugs.

    Campaign is short (as always), but extremely fun, multiplayer has some issues (hackers), but that's just the way it is sometimes, hopefully it gets fixed, but other than that i have nothing bad to say.

    Just ignore the haters, none of them even bought it, they just saw two clips on youtube and noticed that it has women and to them that means woke. Just ignore these losers and enjoy this amazing game, because good CoD games are rare enough already, this is the good one.

    Well, just to give quick reality check, from now on, women will be included in every war themed video game ever. This is the future of video games. So either deal with it or find a new hobby. This is one of the best CoD's of all time btw.

    very, very, very lackluster campaign. the storyline is too short to properly explore the background of each character but just throws it at you, expects you to be satisfied with it and moves on. the interrogation scenes are even more hilarious where the interrogator just sits down and asks them politely to tell the story and they do without that ever raising a single bit of suspicion withvery, very, very lackluster campaign. the storyline is too short to properly explore the background of each character but just throws it at you, expects you to be satisfied with it and moves on. the interrogation scenes are even more hilarious where the interrogator just sits down and asks them politely to tell the story and they do without that ever raising a single bit of suspicion with the interrogator. Nazis were known for being cruel interrogators, if you're more than willing to display them like the racists they were, display their cruelty properly as well. call of duty black ops cold war was a million times better when it came to storyline and not throwing woke **** at your face. the russian woman is actually surprisingly well made, the slavic girls i've met do sneer back at men in that very tone, although i do feel like they liked to go over the top here to get "muh female empowerment points".

    Historical accuracy was incredibly lackluster as well, i saw japanese consistently using german equipment which raised my eyebrows quite a bit and i feel like quality control was very bad as well, where people have so much sucking power they don't have to put a cigarette to their lips to smoke it, people talked without moving their mouth at all, in fact, they kept it closed the entire time and other horrible quality things.

    the multiplayer and zombies stuff is nothing new, barely anything was improved upon, same old, same boring. i would skip this cod hard.    … Expand

    You can't play this game us you like. If you are good player, who like to play with meta guns, get ready to play in shadow lobbies with cheaters. Also everything is broken. Destructibility on maps is not necessary. 2 of 3 snipers are usless. This game tries to be similar to the last 19 game and i don't like it.

    Um jogo mais do mesmo. O COD WW2 é muito superior na questão da narrativa, personagens e carisma. Um jogo esquecível esse Vanguard. Pelo gráfico o jogo vale uns 10 dólares.

    Best CoD in years. Of f...cking course it's not perfect, but nothing is and nothing will be. If some people think hacking is huge problem in Vanguard, wait until BF2042 comes out and watch that sht show. People are trying to find any little problem, just to give 0-3/10 to whole game.

    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.

    Typical incel losers writing reviews here. "ewww it has women, it's so woke". People like this should literally get a life or find a new hobby, because it's not even funny anymore, it's just beyond pathetic. They have done this usa vs germany million times already, jesus christ. About time they try something different. Everyone is tired of this USA bs anyway.

    Best shooter of November 2021 is here, what's with the negativity? Halo comes too of course, but that's for December. There's no other shooters (that would be worth playing).

    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.
