    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).

    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.

    So typical. Woke Battlefield fans trying to hate cod, but this time they have no ammo left. All they got is buggy multiplayer, while cod delivers solid campaign. It's over for bf.

    Well, so far COD: Vanguard is best shooter of 2021, that much i know, that much i can tell you. Will Halo be good? Who knows. But new COD is solid. Moving the wheels.

    Solid cod game over a long time, finally something different. Trailers made it look like trash, but i can already tell this one is going to be popular.

    Only people who complain about this game, seem to be either salty bf fans or people with same argument "there's new cod every year". I mean, so what? If it's fun and well made, then what's the issue? This one is very solid, both single player and multiplayer. BF doesn't even have single player and multiplayer seems to be absolute fail.

    So good game, with good graphic, animations, but zombie mod is weak, but we need to wait, the game is good. Campaign is so funny, multiplayer too. Recommend to Sledgehammer fans (I like their games :D)

    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

    It's an absolute joke to read these pathetic "reviews" by losers who don't understand anything. They wanna act like female characters should be literally banned from war-themed video games. Polina is not some random "feminist" character. By the way, not once, not once say they word "feminist". Not once. She is based on real life Russian solider.

Single player campaign has multiple main characters, not just one or two. One of them is white man. But just cause they happen to include a woman, now it's apparently an issue. Pathetic.… Expand

    I mean, sure, zombie mode is meh, but if you are actually OG player, you would know that COD was never meant to be zombie game. Zombies are just fun bonus mode. If you want to play actual zombie games, play Days Gone or Resident Evil 2 Remake. Anyway, other than that, game is solid.

    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.

    Story mode and Zombies, are questionable at the moment. But multiplayer is fire.

    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.

    This is not a bad cod after all, the campaign isn't the best but still not bad, the multiplayer is just super fun, the guns modification from my point of view are perfect, even better than modern warfare, the graphics is very good and and the movement are the same of modern warfare, but they are not bad.

    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?

    Easily one of the best Cod's of all time. Some woke battlefield fans trying to hate it, but real cod fans wont care about that. Good game.

    Absolutely amazing Call of Duty finally! I don't even care, if they make more these. I absolutely don't care about MW2, because that future stuff is just pointless. World War II theme is most interesting without any question. Anything futuristic is just waste of time.

    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.

    One of the better COD games in a long time. Basically no bugs, runs well, good graphics, solid story, fun multiplayer, what else do you want? Obviously Battleflop2042 fanboys are extremely salty because Vanguard is popular, but that's just how it is now. They just have to deal with the fact that COD is overall better game. People are absolutely enjoying COD as of right now on youtube.

    Finally solid and well made cod game. This game has so much content compared to cold war. More of this please and less of whatever cold war was supposed to be. Good job, whoever worked on this!

    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.
