    Has the most solid mechanics and best performance of any recent CoD. Negative reviews are mostly people complaining about “wokeness” which is honestly a joke. If you care enough about that sort of thing in a multiplayer shooter like CoD, I got news for you, it’s not that serious of a game and it’s not known for its historical accuracy.

CoD is the most fun to play milsim and is so much better than the hyper realistic Russian-made ones or Battlefield imo, but that’s because I’m a fan of arcade shooters. Most military shooters try to be simulators whereas cod is an arcade shooter with a military skin. Expand

    Не заслужено низкая оценка. Мне зашло. Может не идеальная, но это явно не мусор. Метакритику нужно ввести проверку наличия игры перед публикацией отзыва. То,что рейтинг игры можно обрушить используя 300 аккаунтов, которые может создавать по несколько один человек - неправильно. Люди которым понравилось отзывы на Метакритик не оставляют, а просто играют.Не заслужено низкая оценка. Мне зашло. Может не идеальная, но это явно не мусор.

    If you've never liked COD, this game isn't going to change your mind, but if you have been a fan of the series since 2007 such as myself, its the culmination of everything they've done so far. Yeah, its not based in realism, but if I wanted realism I would join the Marine Corps.

    Way better than last year's cod and obviously better shooter than battlefail2042. Would recommend to old and new cod fans!

    And 2021's best shooter is finally here! Good job Sledgehammer Games! Better than last two cod's.

    Everyone already knows that battlefield 2042 will be just empty and soulless game. Cod 2021 actually has solid campaign and way better graphics. Easily one of the best cod games in years.

    It's not perfect, but it's million times better than whatever battleflop2042 is trying to do, they don't even have campaign and multiplayer feels empty and boring. CoD is actually trying to do things right this time. Gun sounds are great, nice graphics, solid campaign.

    Battlefield is trying to do their regular woke trash, just like they did in Battlefield V.
    Vanguard is actually pretty cool, would recommend!

    One of the best Call of Duty's in very long time. Just ignore negative reviews, these are just BF fanboys who can't deal with the fact, that all BF has is buggy multiplayer and COD is actually delivering solid single player experience.

    I haven't been fan of cod games in years, because they have been simply awful, but this one seems to be actually solid. I'm glad things are finally turning around for cod.

    Most of these haters don't even know what they want. In fact i'm pretty sure, most of them don't even like cod games in general. They would hate even, if it was most perfect cod ever. Is Vanguard most perfect cod ever? Hell no. Is it awful tho? Far from it. Better than last two.

    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.

    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.

    So far it's been fun game, haven't finished campaign yet, but it's cool. Also tried multiplayer, everything seems to work fine. No game breaking bugs yet. Nice.

    One of the best cod's in years, i'm not even joking. Single Player has lots of fun missions, multiplayer is very fun, would recommend.

    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.

    It's hilarious to look at some cod fanboys right now, they don't know how to react even. They are like "is it even okay to like cod even if it's good?". They clearly know that it's good, but i guess it takes time. I'm having fun with the game rn. Anyone who wants to miss out, good for you.

    Just ignore the haters, they write same bs every year, even if it's not justified. This one is actually good shooter, idk what else to say.

    It's not revolutionary, but what is anyway these days? At least it's not another cyberbug2077, but instead here's actually playable fun game. There ya go.

    Fun, fast-paced game that doesn't disappoint, well zombies do, but i never cared for them tbh.

    Lmao tasteless and brainless BF fanboys trying to hate and complain as usual, while BF2042 will be absolute flop and isn't even comparable to Vanguard. Vanguard is not perfect, but BF2042 looks like absolute joke compared to it. BF2042 doesn't even have single-player, all it has is just empty and lifeless multiplayer that gets old extremely fast. End of discussion.

    Holy crap this is one of the best experience in a call of duty game in a while. To all those looking at this you won’t regret getting this game since it’s amazing. Campaign and multiplayer are fantastic!!!!

    Same people who hyped up Cyberpunk2077 are now hyping up Battlefield2042 and acting like it will be best game of all time. What a joke. Only difference is that BF2042 will be even bigger fail than Cyberbug. Get ready for next Anthem. Critic metascore means pretty much nothing. Cyberpunk got metascore 86 and it was one of the weakest games of 2020. I would say 76 for Vanguard is solid andSame people who hyped up Cyberpunk2077 are now hyping up Battlefield2042 and acting like it will be best game of all time. What a joke.

    It’s hard to name a single thing about this game that’s worth your time. [Issue#257, p.54]

    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.
