    Beautiful game with an amazing campaign. Multiplayer feels like Modern Warfare 2019 & I have had tons of fun with these maps and weapons.

    This game brought me back to playing COD.
    Love the historical narrative. And sprinkled with precise historical facts like Adolf reading the Madison Grant's book. Love the attention to detail.

    Yeah i really like single player campaigns.
    Also Laura Bailey is a voice actress.

    One of the best cods from last 5 years. Multiplayer feels amazing and campaign is short but rich.

    No hay demasiado para decir sobre este juego, Mas que es simplemente un WW2 con base de MW 2019. El modo historia se nota que fue un guion rapido pero mas que pasable, Tomando en cuenta que hoy en dia los jugadores estan mas centrados en el multijugador. De lo que escuche sobre criticas anteriores, La comunidad deseaba un MW nuevamente, Y aqui lo tienen entonces.

    I have to say, Props to Activision on making a pretty excellent campaign like always. Although short, its till interesting and fun to play.

    However, a massive But, a huge however. It really feels like Call of duty games do not care anymore. the gameplay feels like a copy and paste of the last 4 installments with little to no changes. Do not get me started on historical accuracy and gun mechanics. for a game that has claimed to be the most immersive and realistic WW2 experience so far, it has done so much that pisses off gun nuts and history nerds collectivly. Don't get me started on the bugs either, haven't seen broken games like this in a long time.

    I think we are seeing the end of a series boys. I honestly don't know how Call of duty can come back from this one. it seems its only going to be getting worse from here on out.    … Expand

    I have been playing this game for 50 in game hours now, the multiplayer that is. Vanguard is actually in it's core a very good game and i am really enjoying it. But behind the satisfaction of camo grinds, shipment, das haus, and getting shotgun kills it's really unfinished and is a total bugfest!

This game REALLY needs more polish and it's time that activision doesn't make the developers rush their games. I think that if this game fixed the overpowered killstreaks, nerfs the shotguns, fixed the mode rotation on ship haus, fixes glitches, fills zombies with more content, fixes the camo challenge bugs, and fixes the riot shield bugh then i would actually admit that Vanmguard would be a solid 10, im being honest. I am going to give it a 8 because that's what i think it will be in atleast 2 months time!… Expand

    Not good, not bad, just mediocre. The campaign is enjoyable (3-5 hours gameplay), the multiplayer was copy-pasted from Modern Warfare 2k19 (with some bugs added). The multiplayer maps suffer from various bugs and poor design choices (operators vs operators; not even divided into factions!). The zombies mode contains a single map with a few repetitive missions (07.12.2021). Overall score:Not good, not bad, just mediocre.

    I don't know how a company as big as Activision can somehow manage to have dedicated servers worse than P2P connections, but they did it. Even on Gigabit connection, I somehow manage to drop 30% of my packets, but only in this joke of a game. Gameplay would be good, if bullets would actually function, and i wasn't constantly teleporting

    Campaign and graphics are mediocre, but atleast they are better than cold war. Multiplayer however, bugs bugs and bugs... idiot spawning system and broken things such as legal wall hacks make the game far from being fun to play

    El mejor cod de los ultimos 10 años con diferencia por mucho que digan tus influencers favoritos o por mucho que te hayan curtido el lomo, y viendo la Beta de MWF2 volvemos para atras. He jugado 3500 partidas y no me cabe duda que con todos sus defectos es el mejor Cod en mucho tiempo.

    I mean, it's a cod game. Plays just like the last game, acts the same, still no dedicated servers, just as **** new engine which means new problems with crashes, invisible players and other **** that follows games in new engines.

    Invisible walls everywhere, weird scripted scenes, weird and stupid enemy and team AI. Awfull 'boss' fights. The flying scenes are not really flying scenes, you almost have no control. Endlessly talking about 'project Phoenix', while you never get to know what it actually is... . Not worth the money.

    Worst COD I've ever bought. Uninspired campaign, horrid multiplayer with total trash maps, and a lame zombies mode. That was the final nail on the coffin so I would not buy COD anymore, and I'm glad I did it. I'll just play the campaigns when they arrive on Game Pass and call it the day.

    Just nothing of value whatsoever included in the game. I wouldn't even consider playing it if it was free.

    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.
