    It was the most boring and scripted fps game I ever played. The people who designed levels and scripts in the single campaign should be ashamed.

    This is not a triple A project. I bought it for the sake of a network company and a zombie mode. There is absolutely no content in zombies. 3 tasks and 3 zombies for the whole game. In a network game, they do not show on the map where the battle is going on. Taking a perk for this is nonsense. All weapons are like shooting sticks. The sound environment is disgusting

    Bad things happen when you mix games with politics. This game is a perfect example. So we have a black leader that is apparently aloud to lead units into battle in the year 1944 which is hilarious given the volume of racism at that time.

So we have a black leader that is apparently aloud to lead units into battle in the year 1944 which is hilarious given the volume of racism at that time. Next is the strong Russian woman that can climb bricks. We have a female Russian sniper that loses her family to the Nazis and with her skill with the rifle and the proper motivation becomes an idol among the defenders. All good so far. But then comes the evil Nazi whatever rank he is that has a habit of roaming around town to slaughter civilians for no apparent reason, wasting needed supplies for the war effort with his iconic patrol and his best of the best Nazi commandos dressed in super cool clothing, cause they are the best right? So they gotta look the best. And then she faces the Nazi ds3 boss and his goons while alone. After she kills all the goons the legendary bossfight begins where amidst a ridiculous monologue he gets stabbed 5-6 times in the ribs and is yet able to stand, talk **** and move. Whats even more ridiculous is how is how he disappears after every stab instead of blasting the **** out of her with the dragon breath shotgun or whatever. After 15 minutes of casual British interactions they go to the roof where it's her turn to do the monologue **** and also talk **** for another 10 minutes, saying **** out of a 10 year olds brain, and she finally ends his hell of listening to her by kicking him off the building. Then there's the white supremacist narcissistic badass American pilot that gets shot down and is rescued and taught by an all black badass unit the value of giving up his "white privilege". Finally the Aussie that is absolutely discriminated upon from his tyrannical British colonial oppressor of a commanding officer that is a white male and a hardcore racist addicted to power. So black power, woman power, white male that learns the values of being black and the absolute victim of racism that ends racism with a punch and then proceeds to be jailed. Instead of making a war game that depicts the war with historical data, we have this woke call of duty "minorities version". Well it makes sense if you want to appeal to the woke brainless mob, but sure as hell the politics clean cod fans didn't ask for this. But you know, everything is political these days. Really can't wait for the lgbtq dlc. In this "historically accurate" ww2 game. In 1942. And of course the critic reviews are appealed by this politically correct video game that is meant for entertainment. As for the Nazis, the pure exaggeration of their evil made it hard to watch. The idea that the writers have for evil, is as naive as a 15 yo girl that is obsessed with these boy bands of questionable sexuality. Like seriously you can't be thinking that the Nazis talked **** like that when they were not getting killed off by a single lady with a knife after having their whole battalion killed by said lady.… Expand

    The absolute worst Call of Duty they have ever put out. The gameplay is a step down from Cold War, the worst zombies mode ever released, and the worst, most cringe, terribly written campaign I’ve experienced maybe ever. While everything is bad, the writing is far and away the worst of it all. How this got the seal of approval from Activision/Blizzard I don’t think we’ll ever know.

Вы что серьёзно настолько безрукие что не можете нормально наложить звуковую(голосовую) дорожку на персонажей? Я уж не говорю про интонации в кат.сценах и во время самой игры. 2.Что за бред со шрифтами на листвоках, вывесках зданий? На одном из зданий так вообще перевода нет. Что за бочки нефть? Где вы видели что бы горючин средства хранили так открыто и ещё подписано большими буквами на бочках НЕФТЬ? Что за бред про персонажа Полину? Вам не кажется что это Брюс Уилис в шапке ушанке? Вы когда нибудь занимались паркуром в военных сапогах 1942года и в юбке? Почему у неё отсутствуют черты характера которые присуще молодой наивной девочке. Да при первой упавшей бомбе она должна была рыдать и охуевать от происходящего, и только потом взять себя в руки и начать мстить немцам, а не так "о нихуя бомбы! Немцы! Ебану ка я до дома по крышам. А далее так просто забрать жизнь у человека, хоть и у фашиста, так просто без всяких эмоций. После того как её отца расстреляли так без эмоционально задвинуть речь из 4 слов и все...

Негр которому разрешили командовать в 44году? Аллооо здравый смысл приём!!! Приём!!!! Очевидно дроп после Сталинграда. Картинка красивая, выстрелы красивые, вода как была киселем 5 лет назад так и есть, ограничения на кровь все так же есть что бы охватить больше аудитории.

    A soulless, uninspired and basic shooter. The most simmered down form of the COD formula with the only upside being it's on next gen with better graphics. Historical accuracy has been thrown out the window. If you want a real WW2 experience I suggest the several other WW2 games in this franchise (World at War or WW2 2017) or even BF5.

Secondly, it makes SBMM stronger than ever before, and the campaign is simply historically incorrect, but also for people who are "woke". Being "woke" is apparently more fashionable for Sledgehammer Games rather than telling gamers how WW2 really went down. Half of the operators are women which is absolutely ludicrous given WW2 was mostly fought by men. The zombies mode is the worst in history by simply using the multiplayer maps as the zombies part. Really lazy work in that area. Honestly, there isn't too much good stuff to say about this game. The multiplayer is, however, the game's strongest area out of the three, but the campaign is just historically wrong, and if they want females in the game as 50% of the campaign, then don't try to overwrite history.

    PC forcibly messed with one more masterpiece series and ruined it. Female warrior has become a wall-flying Wonder Woman, and the childish black lines are now exhausting. Frame narrative using reminiscence made the story unfocused and failed to explain the points of contact of the main characters.

I mean, their biggest competitor BF76 just practically shat the bed and laid in it. Yet somehow, I have about the same perception of both devs. There is one word to describe, well, really this whole franchise at this point. 'Uninspired'.

    It feels like a long time ago the whole team simultaneously got over making CoD games and just decided to recycle, pretty much everything. Down to the weapons, of which a majority exist in CoD WWII already, which would make sense, I mean they're from the same timeline, but that really just characterizes how stale the formula has become. CoD hasn't been truly innovative since Advanced Warfare, which is sad to see. The gameplay feels fine, the guns shoot well, everything is smooth and characteristic of millions of dollars being poured into it. Yet CoD isn't daring, they've become complacent with weak stories and low fleshed-out motivation, the same generic gamemodes in multiplayer, and a pretty bad stretch for Warzone. This might as well have just been a dlc for Modern Warfare, because there is hardly anything setting this game apart as its own title. The menus are practically the same, the guns are literally the same, the motivations are the same (in that they're non-existent), and at this point I'm struggling to find a reason to buy any new CoDs anymore. Clearly, I'm not the only one either as this game's sales are mediocre at best.

    CoD Vanguard is an uninspired example of why games like this continue to fall off, and a solemn departure from ingenuity, history, reality, emotional reality, quality, and ultimately the legacy that has been forged by the strong relics of its past. 2/10.

    The zombies takes all the worst aspects of BOCW zombies and outbreak and somehow makes them even worse. 1/10

    The campaign is actually pretty decent, but because it’s single player and played the least out of all the modes it has very little effect on the final rating. 7/10

Stack that on top of the most stereotypical nazi antagonist and boom you have this **** This years zombies is probably the worst rendition we’ve seen so far; they completely ditched the rounds and tried out an objective based gameplay loop, which might have worked out if there were more than 5 activities. That’s right, you do the same 5 activities over and over and over again until you get bored and let the zombies have their way with you. The multiplayer is full of an egregious amount of paid for content, 90% of their effort in multiplayer went towards getting you to buy ridiculous skins. (To those who have wasted money on these skins, literally everyone in the lobby is laughing at how ridiculous you look). Mid maps, super unrealistic and stupid attachments, “woke” operators, and garbage monetization completely overshadow the actually pretty decent gunplay, but the credit goes to infinity ward for that since it’s their engine. The series is at absolute rock bottom here, and I pray this **** doesn’t make it into MW2… Expand

    The multiplayer is absolute **** You die to fast to even have a chance to react against campers or preamers. This game was made for noobs. You only have chances to get streaks when you sit around in corners preaming the **** out of an angle.

    Idiotic level design, the levels are literally filled with holes from which the enemy can come out at any time. Absurd unbalanced perks for specialists (Perks for returning the radar or increasing the enemy's head say hello), miserable modules for weapons.

Don't get why they didn't stuck with waves it just takes too long to progress. xp gain in zombie's is horrible so you're forced to play multiplayer which is the biggest flaw of the whole game. I do get why console players need an aim assist to keep up with PC gamers, only giving 3 different aim assist options of which one is called focusing (basically a soft aimbot). it aim's through walls and obstacles makes console players overpowered in almost any combat situation, the use of smoke and stun grenades are cancelled by this aim assist because it just snaps on target and almost follows every movement your opponent makes. The guns are not balanced at all, shotguns and LMG's dominate all of multiplayer. the damage range of shotguns is nearly the same as AR's. LMG's need 2-3 bodyshots to kill let alone the fire rate. it has no point using SMG's or snipers because they just get obliterated by those. the collision they came up with it annoying for example: you have a camping teammate in a container on shipment you just can't pass them because the block your way with probably a riot shield. you think you can get a kill oh no the guy with hes shield blocks all your shots then moves aside and you get killed, you throw a lethal/tactical it bounces of hes shield right in your face. Killstreaks are also insanely imbalanced. just use artillery and a bombing run and you dominate a game. K9's need the same amount of bullets to kill as you need for killing an opponent. throwing the flare for an artillery strike bugs out a lot, care packages just turn invisible or bounce out of the map. camo's and skins are damn ugly (imo).
    You play with a party and you're not the leader don't bother cycling menu's or changing your loadout bacause whenever the partyleader switches from ingame menu you automatically switch with him and lose the changes you've made (this was also the case in MW (2019) an MW CW)
    The story is utterly boring, graphic wise Modern Warfare is still the best they ever did.

    Not speaking of all the bugs the game has, it might change in time ofcourse

    Shortly said, don't bother buying the game. It ain't worth your money, nor your time. this one fits perfectly in the row of worst CoD's ever made.    … Expand

He stated several times that he is absolutely sad how this terrible conflict is being abused to not only profit and earn huge amounts of money but how it is also instrumentalized to somehow teach young players about morlas and social justice. Historical accuracy is totally ignored and is instead replaced by gay, black, disabled or other minorities playing major roles. These groups themselves are not at all a problem but the way they are prefered over accuracy only to satisfy the modern spitit is really sad. People, german as well as allied, gave their lives for their countries and their sacrifice isn't honoured but is instead ridicouled through female elite snipers "kicking some Nazi butt" as a review of this game once stated.

    Call of Duty: Vanguard is a great Call of Duty entry with absolutely stellar ser pieces, fantastic visuals, and plenty of modes surrounding an excellently fun campaign. The only downsides are the muddied stories… not to mention what is happening in the company that published it. Highly recommended for CoD fans and people looking for a bit of mindless fun set in WW2.
