    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.

    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.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If they don't fix the modders on this game I will never buy another Call of Duty game ever again and neither should you. Modders are RAMPANT on MW and Warzone and they're doing absolutely nothing about it do you know why? Because they're making money off of you being cheated and they don't give a fk..They don't want to ban them because they are a customer base and they don't want them to quit buying their games or give them negative reviews. Why pay all that money just to get online to be cheated? The ONLY players at the top of the leader boards are modders so if you buy this game get ready to spend a whole lot more money on mods just to be able to compete. I see people modding on Vanguard and eventually they will let them take the game completely over. Another thing that I've seen on Warzone is them trying to influence small children and young adults into being ga by including all of the sick creep flags on the calling cards. That makes me want to vomit. Nobody with a brain wants to see that and they should be sued over it along with the fact that they're soliciting drug use to children as well. Quit giving these creeps your money. Expand

    El emparejamiento por habilidad es el cancer de estos juegos desde hace tiempo y Activision no le da la gana de quitarlo, parece que estás jugando la final de la liga de COD contra tryhards de mierda que parece que se están ganando un premio de miles de dolares.

    Una plaga de hackers en pc y en consola con cronus Zen más de uno que es descaradísimo y todo el mundo aplaudiendo que el Ricocheat era la salvación xD

    Un modo campaña mediocre y el modo zombies es el peor que he visto en mi vida, donde quedaron los modos zombies de COD5, Black Ops 1 y 2 etc, hasta el de Cold War es infinitamente mejor en el modo Outbreak.

    En definitiva una estafa que lo único que hacen es sacar skins de pago en su tienda a 20 pavos y que ni se molestan en devolver la diversión que muchos hemos podido disfrutar con juegos como MW2, me rio en la cara de aquellos que siguen defenfiendo que los anteriores Cods por 2012 ya tenían SBMM cuando eran por conexión. Ni se os ocurra comprar este juego ni aunque esté rebajas, os aseguro que os vais a enfadar mucho

    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

    Warzone is where the game really gets messy, guns that are big black spikes, sometimes no guns at all. Buildings that don’t load fast enough, so you can see through them. A crampus that isn’t very popular… or animated. Audio that sounds like someone’s messing with the audio jack, or doesn’t make a sound at all (footsteps) a new map that looks like it was designed for the N64 one minute then more modern the next.

    Absolute garbage. I'd never pay for Call of Feminism, that teaches us that women won the WW2, or ever give money to Activision-Blizzard, but there's a free weekend now for this game.
    The game takes ages to load, even on M.2 drive. When you try to skip the cringe cinematic too fast, the game freezes. Then it takes ages to find a game (even with cross-platform and during the free weekend).

    Fun fact: Blizzard was taken to the court in a a lawsuit for 100 million dollars (judging by a similar RIOT lawsuit) for saying mean things about chicks. But the script writer for this game (same company), a woke chick, openly says about men (on her twitter) worse things than what Blizzard employees ALLEGEDLY said in privite about chicks. But of course she wasn't even fired. This is the world we live in.

    A big issue for me was the poor level design. It just felt like something was worse than what I already have. The guns felt really off and unsatisfying and I didn't like the way they customise or the lack of variety, which is not done half so well as they do in Black Ops Cold War.

    I absolutely despised the interface for all of that. It was awful and felt like a step backwards.

    They kept focusing on these corny character narratives and animations. Whereas I just couldn't care less. I just wanted a good multiplayer experience with lots of weapons and a range of decent maps.
    But it was not there. Even the graphics look like a downgrade to me. But I thought it was the same engine so I do not see why that happened. It feels like they focused more on cutscenes and characters I couldn't care less about, than gameplay and maps.

    The cutscenes drove me really nuts. If I wanted to watch an animated movie, I would buy one. Not a game. It was like when you have a movie you love, then a sequel comes along, made in today's hollywood environment, and it totally destroys it. Had to refund it as it doesn't really want to be a game. It wants to be a movie and the lack of focus on gameplay really shows where it matters

    Maybe it will mature. Remove the nonsense cutscenes, create far better maps. Which means less restrictive maps of a reasonable size. Remove the super annoying barriers to where you can go on maps. Sort out the weirdly inconsistent graphics.

    It desperately needs more weapons and customisation to earn progression and motivate me to play.

    They went off on a really odd direction with this, breaking the things I really like about Black Ops Cold War and trying to make an animated movie. Even the campaign is unplayable. Super scripted to the point you feel like you don't really matter that much.

    For me COD is a multiplayer game. This went backwards in a big way.

    Copy And Paste: 100%

    Call Of Duty: Ghosts Is Better Than Vanguard Zombies WOW

    No Bosses, The Zombies Are Broken, The Zombies Only Attack When You Shoot Them HOW ARE THE ZOMBIES BLIND??!

    Campaign Time

    The Campaign Starts With A Task Force Called 'Task Force Vanguard' On A Mission To Figure Out What The Hell Is Project Phoenix. After Some Time, The Task Force Found The Documents Or Smth But Got Ambushed By The Germans. The Task Force Was Captured And Taken To Some Warehouse And Now There Is Activision Explaining Why Racism Is Bad For 7 Minutes. After The Talk, The Character That You Play Gets Killed With A Chair By The Villain 'Hermman Freisinger'. The Germans Take The Task Force To A Prison And Interrogate them One By One.

    Arthur's Backstory

    The Mission Starts Off In A Paratrooper Plane Where The Captain Is Explaining The Mission, After The Germans Fired Their AA The Captain Said This. "Looks Like The Krauts Already Know We're Coming" ... Dude, The Germans Never Knew D-Day Was In Normandy. Anyways Everyone Jumps Out, Arthur's Friend Caught On Fire And Burned His Parachute, This Scene Took SO LONG And It's Not Even Fun You Don't Even Have To Press Any Keys, I Actually Liked The Call of Duty: WWII Quick Thinking Feature Or Smth Where You have To Press Keys Fast or Else You Die. The Boys Then Landed And I Saw Excessive Warcrimes, I Can No Longer Support Activision Because Of This. The Boys Meet Up And Then Arthur Magically Becomes The Leader Of The Battalion. I Can't Even Tell The Whole Story, The Boys Finally Destroyed The Enemy Artillery. Great, Now We Can Move On To Stalingrad (It's Worse)

    Polina's Backstory

    Have You Ever Wondered What It Would be Like To Become A Russian Woman Doing Parkour Cause She Thinks She Is Dream? Call of Duty: Vanguard Answers Your Question! The Mission Starts With The Player And His Virtual Family Talking About Soviet Things. The Stupid Brother Forgot Some Molotov So The Game Tells You To Help. Now When I Looked Outside, Wow The Soviet Union Is Great Why Are The Actual Images Of The Soviet Union So Bad? Anyways, Polina Goes To A Medical Station Or Smth, But Then The Luftwaffe Arrived And Started Being Savages. I Immediately Got Destroyed By A Bomb And The Game Tells Me To "Flee From The Bombing More Quickly". I Then Got To My House And Picked Up The Sniper Rifle That The Germans Just Left, I Then Shoot A German Officer, Unfortunately I Triggered The Other Germans Who Shoots My Dad. I Won't Continue The Whole Story Go Watch A Video Bout' the Game Because I Don't Recommend Buying It.

    AMERICANO Backstory

    The Mission Starts Off With The Commander Explaining The Mission, I Then Get To A Plane And Take Off. Now In This Mission I See Stonks Of Historical Inaccuracies, So Get Ready For Historical Madness. I See Destroyers Next To USS Enterprise (The Carrier) But I Remember That There Was No Destroyers In The Movie 'Midway' And Midway Was Very Accurate. The Squadron Now Found The Japanese Carrier, Without Making A Detour. Alright, The Americans Found The Japs Because Lt. Com. Wade McClusky Spotted A Japanese Destroyer, McClusky Said The Destroyer Might Be Heading For The Fleet And It Was A Miracle That The Americans Found The Fleet. The Japanese Started Firing AA, And One Of The Pilots Said "Avoid The Flak" Hold Up... Japanese Flak? I'm Done With This. When You Dive Down You Are Squared In The Middle Of The Flag (Very Effective Target) And Then When You Drop The Bomb The Carrier Gets Destroyed Immediately (WRONG). Actually When You Drop The Bomb Even At The Flag, It Doesn't Get Destroyed Immediately. Then Arthur Said "Wade Was Known As The Greatest Pilot Of The War" He destroyed Two Ships. And Then some Jungle Vietnam Mission But The Enemy Don't Hide.

    I Don't Even Want To Do The Campaign anymore lets just do the horrible detail

    STG-44 In 1941-3

    AK47 In Stalingrad (AS44 Is A Prototype Rifle That Never Saw Service)

    Prototype Lee Enfield In El Alamein

    MG42 In 1941 (Tobruk mission)

You have to play with people that use a controller to play an FPS, which is kinda difficult so the game give them an auto aim, but even with that if they are not crouch in a corner, they will have a hard time doing kills.

    But I'd say the worst problem is probably that the game rewards more the frags than the objectives, which really hit on the nerves if you want to play other game modes than the mind-numbing dead matches on ridiculously small maps.

    Spawning is still a pain in this axx, the game doesn't care if the place he is going make you spawn in is in the sight of 3 enemies ready to shoot, it is totally arbitrary.

    Some paid skins make the characters harder to see in some conditions.

    And if the auto aim for controllers is not enough, you have a perks that makes you see the enemies through the wall in your sight as you shoot on them. What a truly nice game.

    The campaign is ANECDOTAL, as always.

    Save your money guys, really. If you are 11yo and play on console, you'll like it I guess. You can even buy pretty pink and rgb glowing skins with mommy credit card.

    A good word to describe the entirety of this game is "Boring", the game is just pretty much the same thing we have seen before but worse, the only step up is the cinematics which are too long and awkwardly placed.

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. Unfortunately, the buyer did not keep a bill to return the ****

    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.

    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.

Seriously here, the franchise has been using the same old and outdated engine since the PS3 era. It’s time for COD to blow up the franchise and re-work the game with an all new engine, and this is coming for a PS5 buyer of the game. I’m checked my friends version of the his PS4 version, to my eyeballs there was no noticeable difference.

    Everything’s locked, and requires serious game
    Progression to unlock what was once available to play upon starting the game. The audio has serious issues, the campaign is rinse lather repeat, and of course, the new woke social Justice bullsh*t, woman strong, man bad. It’s a joke. These game developers are catering to Twitter weirdos, which make for an extremely small category of people they’re trying to appease. Everyday people like myself are seeing this nonsense and getting completely weirded out and turned off from the game. I hope they realize that 90% of call of duty fans are males…

    I’ve read the other posts too…Diehard white Knight COD fanboys trying to say that any negative reviews are from Battlefield Fanboys, well, I got news for you, I’m a die hard COD fan that’s been playing the game since its PS1 conception, long before a lot of you were just seeds in your fathers b*lls, and the game is rough, and I legit feel dissatisfied with the games current condition. If you wish you had the PS5 version, don’t stress, because you are not missing much.

    The campaign is locked on the disc I bought and had to download it through the PSN store which is whack, and for the matter the campaign is rinse, lather, repeat. Can I just get a war game without being force fed some women bs? Women are plastered all over this game with sexy quips and one liners, sure it might cool for some under developed pre-pubescent teenager, but old time fans like myself could give two sh*ts about that stuff. We’re women in WW2 sure, but it wasn’t as normalized as COD’s trying to make it. Which is it that COD is trying to here? Make a realistic war game?Or cater to social Justice? Or maybe they’re trying to do both, but come in man, I just want to play a war game, let’s leave all of that modern political agenda bs out of it.

    To me it’s an average entry, and it’s made me legit sick of the WW2 era at this point. COD now needs to remain in the present, or fast forward to the future. There’s only so many WW2 stories I can keep playing. On multiplayer that Ricochet anti hacker thing they’ve been promoting also didn’t do crap, as several lobbies were littered with cheaters. The audio for me was glitchy and even worse than modern warfare. I dunno man, it was or should I say feels like it was lazy. What scares me is that if this was a solid effort by devs, then somethings wrong over there behind the scenes. This game does not deserve a 10 man…No shot… But it doesn’t deserve a 0 either. You’d have to have an IQ of a peanut to give the game a 0. For a game to have a 0 score, then it can’t even be function and it would have to be completely broken, which it’s not. However, it’s average at best, and a slightly below average game at best.

    COD needs to stop releasing annual games, or just focus on beefing up Warzone moving forward. In the meantime start working on a new COD game engine, because what we have is old and dated.

    I think I’m done with the franchise moving forward unless a serious change is coming.

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. Warn you friends and children, these games might spend your money without your consent, and Activision apparently supports this "glitchy" behavior. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It turns out that it was actually better than I expected at launch. The Beta was kinda null in certain points, but Sledgehammer Games actually listened to what we wanted in the game, and they did it. Various adjustments and additions, balances, visibility, and everything else in betweens. The superior IW 8.0 engine did show the beauty here, but there are some things that I need to pointed out.

    (+3) Multiplayer at launch was better than I expected. Seems like they have tuned down their controversial and "rage-inducing" skill-based matchmaking (at least, from my perspective). Players are now rewarded more often and penalized less. A solid step-up from Black Ops: Cold War, where in that game, everything would not be able to go along together in the right direction.

    (+1.5) SUPPORT BOTH NVIDIA DLSS AND AMD FIDELITYFX SUPER RESOLUTION.

    (+1.5) Visiblity is an improvement here compared to Modern Warfare (2019). More colors are visible and you can still see characters in certain dark areas.

    (+1) Maps were well-designed, with balances between "predictable lanes" and "encourage camping." They allowed for a more wider-range of engagement, dynamics and balance of gunfights. Covers and destructible environments make this even more intriguing.

    (+0.5) Tons of settings to play around.

    (0) I wish the campaign was longer and go through the beginning of World War 2.

    (0) Despite using IW 8.0 engine. There are NO ray-tracing options in the game. A slight let down, but it really does not matter since a game like this demanded quick reaction and fast frames, and the game still look beautiful without ray-tracing.

    (0) Don't expect historical accuracy from this game.

    (-0.5) No factions. This can cause confusions during an intense gunfight.

    (-0.5) Sniper rifles take forever to aim. But I think they were intended to preserve their true roles to support from long range and not going in aggressively.

    (-1) Grinds take too much time. Even with Double XPs enabled, you can level up your weapon on average - 3 to 4 levels per match.

    (-1) Cheaters are in the game already! They got everything unlocked before they even play their first match! (Still not widespread, though.)
    [New anti-cheat is coming. I hoped that it will deal a major blow to them.]

    (-1) Some bugs were seen, hopefully they will fix them in the future.

    (-3) Zombies were a let down. It feels unfinished for a reason.

    Campaign: boring and lazy mash

    Multiplayer: Spawns completely random. Can spawn in enemy base solo, or between enemies in smaller maps like shipment, das haus. MVP votes completely not needed, get old fast and annoying when you already want to jump in into next map you are forced to vote as leave button is disabled by that point. To addition you will often see glitches and bugs when nazi ragdoll get smashed and whipped by invincible character. Best plays completely random generated. Player with fury multi kills overruled by dropping bomb hitting 1 enemy. When looking for quick play you are 80% of time put in games which are ending. And you cant pick map you want to play so if you want to go specific map just search and cancel. Camos challenges often glitched and some of them are ridiculous like preciously 3 line rifle 100 bloodthirsties.(when i do it they changed to prone kills). Kill streaks like dogs kills fun as well as hitbox is ridiculous to kill. Tell the difference between friend and foe on hardcore is very challenging as all blurs together.
    Season 1 is not acceptable at all. Incendiary grenades break all the fun of game. Shipmas looks like devs try to make fun of customers all glitches into flares smoke and shaky piece of **** Battlepass never been so lazy before. you try to survive for you no deaths kills camo challenge, you get krampus in your ass. ( completely unnecessary addition). And they still ask for majority cosmetics 2400CP - 16$.

    Zombies : Great mobile app.

    Think all customers need to come together and start petitioning refund as devs clearly having a laugh with this product. For 60$ you need to put effort not copy paste maps and slight change of code + reskin. And I do understand that all teams are stretched across 3 games, but that is not customer concern. YOU ARE SELLING BROKEN AND UNTESTED AAA TITLE.

    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.

    Speaking of COD games I only played Cold War before, but I played multiple Battlefield titles, the Titanfall games, CSGO, a bunch of Arena shooters, so I speak as a not a COD player, and by far, by so far, both Cold War and Vanguard are the worst multiplayer experiences I ever had, let me explain about Vanguard :

    The maps are WWII scenes and that's mostly it, there is some places with window clearly made so a couple player could hold and get a lot of players from there, but otherwise maps have no flow of movement and it makes objective based game modes absolutely displeasing to play and encourage people to just go somewhere safe in the corner of the map or building and camp, it also encourage people to flank to much by making it just easy meaning if you try to play the objective you get killed in the back a lot.

    The random spawns does not seem to adjust with enemy location like in a lot of other games, meaning enemy can spawn just behind you or you can spawn and get spawn killed a lot.

    The killstreak system encourage people to not take much risks and just kill from safety, making people camp and absolutely not play the objectives. Also receiving a killstreak is just awful, you can't do anything about it, and it ruins yours. I even had games where I spent 10 minutes being spawn killed continuously by the enemy releasing killstreaks in order, no joke.

    The weapon balance is nonexistent, some weapons are clearly better than other but most importantly the weapon upgrade system breaks the game even further removing all form of recoil or anything else turning the game into a reaction time based point and click, but also weapons have spread and a high rate of fire meaning you don't have to be precise, RNG is going to put a bullet in the head anyway.
    And this is COD, of course there is camper snipers who don't need to headshot to one shot kill you from the other end of the map.

    My theory about the success of those crappy games is that the weapon violently shaking makes it seems harder to play than it actually is and that the game is designed to be frustrating then when you unlock a killstreak and do a completely undeserved 5 multikill from it, it acts as a reward to your brain and it releases the chemical, to me that is also the explanation why there is so many kids playing it as they seem to love that kind of "rewards".

    The campaign and multiplayer modes are decent, but the Zombies mode developed by Treyarch is in a HORRIBLE state with barebones gameplay, no launch day easter eggs, very little in terms of content to grind for. Extremely disappointing with the zombies mode, the other 2 game modes are passable but still not excellent. An overall forgettable experience that blends into past CoD titles.

    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.

    Way better than last year's cod and obviously better shooter than battlefail2042. Would recommend to veterans and new cod fans! I also reccommend Battlefield fans looking for a solid FPS game instead of the embarrassment and trash Battlefield 2042 is, I'm both a Major Battlefield and Call Of Duty fan myself and i guarantee that this is a much better Cod than cold war was aswell as a goodWay better than last year's cod and obviously better shooter than battlefail2042.

    i know too many are complaining about the multiplayer , but it doesn't bother me personally since i don't play multiplayer at all. like a trash like battlefield 2042 which everyone was HYPED OUT about , turn out to be a flop.
    so a good single player campaign with a decent story would do me good. and this game was the best game IN 2021 which was crap for gamers

    A VERY short campaign, unnaturally drawn out by blunt insertions and blockings.
    There are VERY few beautiful places. Secondary "landscapes" are painted poorly - walked 1.5 meters from the route and enjoy the corners, curved polygons, low-quality models and textures.
    Sounds awful - everything. The atmosphere does not create and the weapon is similar to paintball. The storyline is just

    Sounds awful - everything. The atmosphere does not create and the weapon is similar to paintball.
    The storyline is just super dumb. In general, the game was done quickly in order to cut down the money.

    The return, unfortunately, was not approved by "played too much". Blizzard in this regard has an absolutely blunt-nosed system - we ourselves will decide whether you played a lot or a little.

    Multiplayer: there are few cards, few modes, the netcode is corrupted - on the kilcam it is often not at all what you saw.

    I want my money back!

    First off, I'd like to address the other negative reviewers in this section. As you will see, the main negative comment for this game is that the campaign was too woke. It is a shame that these negative reviewers identify more with the Nazis in the game than the Allies.

    First off, I'd like to address the other negative reviewers in this section. As you will see, the main negative comment for this game is that the campaign was too woke. It is a shame that these negative reviewers identify more with the Nazis in the game than the Allies.

    Very mild spoilers to explain:
    One of the first points in the story is that the Nazi leader can't understand why the black guy "who thinks he's british does he?" is allowed to lead the Allies' covert ops team. Apparently other reviewers, having seen that, and the interaction with the Army 93rd all black regiment, still don't understand that they are white supremacists in the same capacity as the Nazis and Jim Crow enthusiasts.

    The alleged "feminist" agenda is in reference to one of the covert ops team being a Russian female nurse that filled in as a sniper during the battle at Stalingrad and became a local hero. Nothing overpowering or forceful whatsoever. These reviewers are just so lost in their misogyny and racism that those plot points seem like the major themes of the story instead of vignettes to fill in character arcs.

    No story spoilers here:
    The campaign overall is one of the best in the COD franchise history, in tight competition with Cold War from last year for the best in recent history. The visuals are truly next generation, sporting the most realistic facial expressions you will see in any game for years to come. The writing and voice acting is superb on all fronts.

    Ultimately, though, you are not purchasing this title for the short-lived campaign spectacle, and instead want to know how the multiplayer and zombies game modes compare to other COD titles.

    Zombies:
    If you are desperate for the newest zombies experience, put away your wallet. The "zombies" mode in this title is incredibly underdeveloped. There is no easter egg. The pack a punch unlocks automatically after the first round. There is no depth of gameplay. It is not even the same round-based gameplay we all know and love. Zombies starts off in a relaxed "hub" area where players can vote on which portal to go through next. Each portal leads to one of three minigame modes. Once the minigame is complete, the team returns to the hub and you get to choose the next minigame. Dull. As. **** But it gets worse, after the first five or so minigames are completed, you then only have one option: play whichever minigame RNGesus allows you to play. No more choosing how you spend your time on this worthless mode, just the game begging you to stop playing so you can move onto something more productive and enjoyable in your pitiful existence.

    Multiplayer:
    Should be called "multiunplayable" in my opinion. Lag compensation is back with a vengeance my friends. You used to think when watching a kill cam "oh that's not what happened, I shot first". Well get ready to think "oh that's not what happened, I didn't see them spawn, hike six miles to my location, stop and set up camp, roast a pheasant they spent 2 hours hunting for on the fire, enjoy a supple meal, take a midday nap, spot my pasty white ass ambling across the no man's zone, fire 17 magazines into the empty space around me, then switch to their shotgun and no scope me 20 meters away, that's not what happened at all". If you think this is an exaggeration, waste $60 on this game and find out. Other things to note about multiplayer: the perennial bugs of server lag, camos and challenges aren't tracking, game crashing, and trash spawns make their appearances once again to remind you that ActiBlizz does not give a flying **** about fixing their games post launch. If you have had the pleasure of never playing COD before, this means that they will not fix these issues, just as they didn't with BO:CW, MW2019, and every single title before that.

    The campaign is the diamond in the rough of this game, and by "rough" I mean steaming hot pile of **** that I should've known better than to have invested money in, again.

    Hab mir das Spiel wegen Zombies geholt und bin komplett enttäuscht worden, außerdem gibt es wieder jede Menge Server/Host Probleme für den Preis eine absolute Frechheit.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Move your Body Call of duty !!!
    Call of duty Vanguard c'est un manque de travail du studio il nous ponde beaucoup de Map pour nous faire plaisir car on c'est plaint sur Cold war mais le jeux reste toujours aussi vide faut acheter le prochain pour que celui la soit complet. Ne parlons même pas du SBMM qui enlevé le plaisir de jouer .

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

    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.

    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.
