    Another lazy game from another triple A publisher. Wash and repeat, every single year. Don't get me started on Zombies mode.

    Полная хрень. Сюжет - отстойное говно. Покупать не советую.

    Complete crap. The plot is crap. I do not recommend buying.

    I'm done with COD games. They stopped caring a long time ago for the campaign, this 4 hour journey is a joke for a full priced game. And what's worse is that the AI feels just as DUMB as any other COD game. In all these years, with all that money they could have improved that AI, but they don't, so it's like a numb feeling when you go through the game shooting at braindead enemies.

    Tired of these unfinished, buggy, soulless games every year. Don’t buy unless your a content creator who has to level up guns for warzone. Besides that your not missing out on anything I promise

    Another cashgrab, unfinished, and terrible call of duty, luckily i decided not to buy it, too much campers, the spawn is always near to the gunfight, the gun as usual is inconsistent at doing damage, campaign is just basic, and the zombies, i ain't interested.

    I don't know how they did it, but they took the old & already stale formula and made it even worse. It looks good, but it will not keep you coming back for more. You will regret the purchase.

    Not as good as it could be. Graphically the game is below what I expected. In terms of gameplay, it's easy to lose to PC players because of almost no aiming assistance for those using controls. There is nothing innovative, they were very petty here. This game caused my PS4 to crash 6 times to the point where I had to turn off the console by the power cord.

This game caused my PS4 to crash 6 times to the point where I had to turn off the console by the power cord. The campaign mode is very exaggerated, to the point of being childish.

    Campaign: Ok
    Multiplayer: Ok
    Zombies: Good

    This is a average CoD game. The campaign is short and lack memorable characters and missions.
    I don't understand how they managed to make a bad multiplayer since it has the same engine of MW 2019. TTK is too short, maps FULL of camping points. Broken guns and attachments. Overall, a forgettable multiplayer experience.

    The "Call of Duty" franchise finally succumbs to wokeness. That's what happens when you hire SJW writers.

    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 ?

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

    Well made Call of Duty over many, many years. Zombies are disappointing, maybe they can make them better with some updates, but everything else is amazing.

    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.

    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.

    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.    … Expand

    В первую очередь хочу отметить хорошо проработанную техническую сторону. Я запускал игру в первые минуты после открытия доступа и не заметил никаких багов, вылетов, проблем с матчмейкингом, не было и графических глитчей, застревания в текстурах. Карты маленькие.

Я запускал игру в первые минуты после открытия доступа и не заметил никаких багов, вылетов, проблем с матчмейкингом, не было и графических глитчей, застревания в текстурах. Карты маленькие. Это стандартная ситуация, я называю это битвой пауков в банке. Меня очень радовал режим в cold war, где были карты побольше и транспорт. Это было что-то между battlefield и cod. Остаётся надеяться, что их добавят в будущем. А пока весь упор идёт на спинномозговые рефлексы. Для чего в игре снайперки и улучшения на дальность стрельбы, если большинство игроков побеждают за счёт увеличенного темпа стрельбы и скорости прицеливания? Плюс перк на ускоренной передвижение. Я не буду рассматривать сюжетную кампанию. Но раскрытие персонажей очень хорошее. Ролики очень кинематографичные. Вообще игра визуально и эстетически очень уютная. Графоуни подъехал весьма неплохой. Играю на PS4 Pro на 27 дюймовом 4К мониторе с включённым HDR и выглядит все очень достойно. Не буду прикапываться к коллиматорам и пнв. В целом ничего нового игра в серию не принесла. Это не call of duty 2, не world at war, это modern warfare с новыми текстурами. Играется бодро, но чувствую надоест быстрее, чем cold war. Возможно дело исправит интеграция с warzone.… Expand

    Vanguard isn’t bad at all but there’s certainly room for improvement. The gunplay is solid, the graphics are beautiful - but the campaign is weak and the multiplayer unbalanced.

    In the long history of the CoD series, it’s fitting that Vanguard stayed true to form with the World War II setting, because when all is said and done, I think it’ll be considered among the greats. If it’s already this fun to play now, I can’t wait to see how it evolves in the coming months with any updates Sledgehammer has planned.
