    Just ignore the haters, these guy have zero idea what they are talking about. Half of them are hating just to hate. I can literally feel BF fanboys salt right now, because they know that BF2042 is buggy and lacks content and they just can't stand the fact that Vanguard turned out to be that good.

    Interesting how most of the low scores are from people who haven't even played the game.
    They simply don't like the inclusive characters and are review bombing. Clearly not a low scoring game.

    The game itself has 20 great maps for a near flawless multiplayer.

    The campaign is really good also.

    There is a generous amount of content.

    Gameplay is great, graphics are impeccable, story is fantastic, but it needed more time in the oven. I also think the story leans too heavily into the Nazi’s racist views, as well as many references to things such as the Cotton Club.

    I've been playing for more than 75 hours, I'm a veteran of the CoD saga, I've played every title since CoD II on PS2.

It should be noted that my opinion is focused on multiplayer, because I think it is a mistake to focus on story mode, because hegemonically (unfortunately), we understand CoD as a multiplayer game, so in this case I think that opinion should be focused on this pulled apart.
    Favorable points:
    + Graphics. Very good, something that was expected because they use the graphics engine of the last Modern Warfare. It should be noted that as of today that I write the review, the game has some graphic bugs, but it is normal, since it has been out for 3 days.
    + Gameplay. Very balanced weapons, it is noticeable that they have been careful in this matter, also in the subject of movement of the character it has improved a lot, it is very fluid and dynamic.
    + Weapons: The recoil of the weapons and the shooting sensation are especially satisfying. Besides, it is noted that they have authorized licenses, 90% of the weapons have the original design and name of the weapon in question, it is appreciated, because it generates greater immersion.
    + Sound. Spectacular, the best, never seen in a CoD ever.
    They have also removed the enemy's red dot on the minimap when it fires, unless you select a specific ability for the character to do so. This is perfect, it has always been requested, in this way the sound is given more importance.
    + Scenarios / Art: Very varied maps, of all kinds and with environments very in line with the time in which the game is narrated, everything is very beautiful, a lot of work behind the artistic section.
    Unfavorable points / to improve:
    - Possible bugs, glitches or weapons / abilities checked, the 'day 1 patch' will be missing.

    Llevo jugado más de 75 horas, soy un veterano de la saga CoD, he jugado a todos los títulos desde el CoD II de PS2. Puedo opinar con criterio muy objetivo que este CoD Vanguard es de lo mejor que han sacado en AÑOS. Cabe destacar que mi opinión se enfoca al multijugador, pues pienso que es un error enfocarnos al modo historia, pues hegemónicamente (por desgracia), entendemos el CoD como un juego multijugador, por lo que en este caso pienso que debería enfocarse la opinión en este apartado.
    Puntos favorables:
    + Gráficos. Muy buenos, algo que se esperaba pues utilizan el motor gráfico del último Modern Warfare. Cabe destacar que a día de hoy que escribo la reseña, el juego tiene algunos bugs gráficos, pero es normal, pues hace 3 días que ha salido.
    + Jugabilidad. Armas muy balanceadas, se nota que se han esmerado en este tema, también en el tema de movimiento del personaje ha mejorado mucho, es muy fluido y dinámico.
    + Armas: El retroceso de las armas y la sensación de disparo son especialmente satisfactorios. Aparte, se nota que han autorizado licencias, el 90% de las armas tienen el diseño y el nombre original del arma en cuestión, se agradece, pues genera mayor inmersión.
    + Sonido. Espectacular, de lo mejor, jamás visto en un CoD nunca.
    También han quitado el punto rojo del enemigo en el minimapa cuando este dispara, a no ser que selecciones una habilidad especifica para el personaje para ello. Esto es perfecto, siempre se ha pedido, de este modo se le da más importancia al sonido.
    + Escenarios / Arte: Mapas muy variados, de todo tipo y con unos entornos muy acordes a la época en que se narra el juego, muy bonito todo, mucho trabajo detrás del apartado artístico.
    Puntos desfavorables / a mejorar:
    - Posibles bugs, glitches o armas / habilidades chetadas, faltará el 'parche del día 1'.    … Expand

    Really solid CoD, possibly my third favorite after Modern Warfare (2007) and Modern Warfare 2 (2009). Good 4-6 hour story (depends if you take your time or just rush), fun multiplayer that has some spawning issues that need to be fixed.

Multi is great also and I can still play Cold War and modern warfare if you don’t like wwii. I love all three and I was burned out on cod after black ops 4. I think these three are all great. How a game with this much quality stuff can get less then an 8.5 seeing as what else is out there is crazy. Is guardians of the galaxy fun? Sort of? Acting is better, it’s funny. Combat better then COD or more fun? No way. Multiplayer? Nope. How could that game get a higher score than this? It’s crazy. COD is the only game that is continuing on with the classic half life style teary first person shooter. I think people forget the market isn’t Saturated anymore. This is it. Unless you want a giant online only mode (battlefield) this is the only classic style first person shooter around.… Expand

    Better than Cold War in every single aspect. The large variety of maps, improved graphics, improved hit detection and improved gun sounds all smash Cold War. The campaign is short but sweet! The Zombies mode is also a solid addition and tries to do something different than the standard round survival maps. It's not a perfect game by any means but it is a large improvement over stinky Cold War.

    The maps probably are the biggest problems. After 1 or 2 minutes, the map is like a swiss cheese. You can get killed from so many different directions. Lets take combine out of BO3 as an example. In the middle of the map, there are 5 spots you can get killed. On Berlin in Vanguard, there are like 23 or so. This is a huge problem. Overall it has potential to be the best COD since BO2.

    A great Call of Duty following what MW19 did great and even got the core gameplay a bit better, especially after Cold War's sort of disappointment because of Treyarch's lack of time to make that, this is the way.

    Great Campaign, Great Multiplayer, Good zombies but needing content.

Sledgehammer really redeemed themselves this year and they deserve they praise. It's not as good as MW2019 but is a close competitor.

And the bot gameplay is also okay, the difficulty recruit doesn't pile up and feels original, please don't lose the offline multiplayer split screen feature for cod mw II. because one of the attractions I bought Call of Duty was because of that. In my opinion, most people expect too much from a game, Vanguard is quite good because it is very similar to modern warfare, besides that here we can make snipers really 0 idle sway with ads speed which is quite fast which is not like modern warfare, the matter of walking is too slow. fast as people say according to vanguard it's normal for this. Yes, because I didn't expect anything about a new theme, a new mechanism. I think with this Vanguard which has beautiful graphics on the ps5. well it's okay to play and enjoy it. And yes it does, my only dislike is the Champaign mode, which I really hope it's like above modern warfare or at least on par with mw. and the fact is that it is very bad, the movement and mechanics of the bots are very unoriginal and seem old-fashioned, there is no development in the enemy's bot section, it is even very strange and ah just weird, too cool for the movement of the bots for the campaign. if for offline multiplayer it is suitable.… Expand

    So, if you've got enough of reviews filled with woke and cod-battlefield war **** here is a detailed honest review for you. This game deservers a 7.5 but I will give 8 with explanation in the end. So lets go!

    Campaign: The campaign gives a different look to ww2 era, It focuses on more than Hitler, a darker&mythical storyline is pending. HOWEVER, this campaign is more like a tutorial,    So, if you've got enough of reviews filled with woke and cod-battlefield war **** here is a detailed honest review for you. This game deservers a 7.5 but I will give 8 with explanation in the end. So lets go!

    Campaign: The campaign gives a different look to ww2 era, It focuses on more than Hitler, a darker&mythical storyline is pending. HOWEVER, this campaign is more like a tutorial, Activision will/may make series out of this and this is the place where you meet your heroes. You will be using a squad and its members but only around 1 hour of it will actually be a team fight. The campaign focuses on the squad members' stories, and how they end up joiningto the team. This gives a taste similar to BF1 & BF5's stories. I personally liked all of their storylines (maybe except Wade's, his ability makes you an aimbot&wallhack user, simply **** Especially Polina's story gives you some freedom in few places where you hunt down nazis which was a huge wellcome for me. Campaign is 5 hours long. The cutscenes are made with CGI which was kinda impressive. The characters' mimics and animations were so smooth to watch. And last thing, friendly AI is dumb af, your ally will basicly try to handshake the enemy while they are gunnig you down.

    Multiplayer: The multiplayer content is not massive but its close. With around 20 maps on stake, you wont be playing the same map back to back. Game has some old modes like S&D and new modes called gun fight which is like a 2v2/3v3 tournament. There is no groundwar. This was a huge let down for me but Big Map Blitz makes up for it(eh!). Every gun has its own personality, like, BAR is half AR half LMG right?. its in the AR section but when you use it, you can easily feel its bulkiness. Gun sound design, especially shooting and reloading is one of the best in CoD games. So many guns, so many attachments but also this does not mean all of them are usefull. The starting guns and attachment are usually the best, and with low level up rate on top of that, using same gun may feel a bit boring after a while. But all and all this is our same old chaotic arcade shooter. And last thing, MVP screen is god damn cringy. Please get rid of it.

    Zombies: Zombies' content will be coming on December 2. So, it feels empty now. If you want a head start level upgrade to your gun for multiplayer, a few rounds will provide you that. Other than that, it wont do much for a generic zombie mode lower. You teleport to portals do stuff then get stuff to upgrade your stuff. Tougher zombies spawn after a while but no bosses is a joke. Hope they include it with content release. And doing 4 different things in a little place over and over again... Who the fudge designed this?

    Overall its a 7.5 game BUT the haptic trigger effects implemented really well, maybe not on Cold War level well but is still really good. It increases the quality of the gun play by a high margin. Thanks for reading fellas.    … Expand

    I've been playing for a few days since I bought it. Pretty solid game! the guns feel punchy and satisfying. much fewer glitches and bugs compared to the beta version, a downside would be the single-player story is too short.

    Great old school feel cod game. Campaign is maybe a bit lacking but still found it immersive, multiplayer is fast paced with a low ttk which suited my play style. Zombies was never a massive pull for me to cod games with the exception maybe of black ops and waw so I can’t score the game on that basis,

    Overall superb game

    First of all I’m not a fan of the franchise, I played almost any Cod and Battlefield.

    I don’ t understand why people review a MULTIPLAYER game based of the campaign…who gives a **** for campaign?! To give 1 or 2 based on that is childish.

    The game is fine…some bugs and that s it. It is not unplayeable…it s fun…just like any cod…a lot s of maps at launch, guns, etc…

    Call Of Duty Vanguard is cool but as many good things there are, there are almost just as many bad things. It no doubt has the best graphics but the gameplay went downhill from Cold War. I play Hardcore instead of Core but it almost feels exactly the same. I would always have to shoot the opponent j

    Hier gibt es nichts viel zu der Kampagne zu sagen. Wie immer kurzweilig, aber gut inszeniert, actionreich und spaßig.

    Immer spielenswert.

    Multiplayer zocke ich auch. Macht echt Spaß. Spiele nur den Hardcore-Modus mit Kumpels und fetzt.

    Call of Duty Vanguard
    Pretty Hit or Miss
    Call of duty vanguard isn’t the best call of duty but I actually really love the direction they seem to be going with campaigns, this time about 6 hours which I think is a great length.. Vnguard sets out to tell a story of war heroes during world war 2, similar to the battlefield 1 campaign, youll go through each characters stories and it isn’t    Call of Duty Vanguard
    Pretty Hit or Miss
    Call of duty vanguard isn’t the best call of duty but I actually really love the direction they seem to be going with campaigns, this time about 6 hours which I think is a great length.. Vnguard sets out to tell a story of war heroes during world war 2, similar to the battlefield 1 campaign, youll go through each characters stories and it isn’t all just run and gun, there are some amazingly immersive moments here, great stealth sections through a forest, a section where youre a sniper, there are horror like moments keeping you on your toes as you go through buildings, did I love the characters themselves? Not so much, none were memorable to me, but I do appreciate the attempt to flesh them out, to create a series that players can look forward to.. the campaign again isn’t the best, but I did appreciate the effort here.. I appreciate the variety how each of thse 6 hours felt different…
    And onto the multiplayer, first off, lets just skip over zombies, I don’t like zombis I never have and Ive heard this year is the worst yet, si I hopped right into multiplayer.. The multiplayer this time is pretty bare bones, but hey.. I actually like that.. I like the simplicity of pick a load out, use that gun to level it up, go through the typial team deathc match, capture the flag, search and destroy modes.. however the gunplay just isn’t fun for me this year, the maps are pretty bland as well.. I did have an enjoyable few hours with multiplayer but after a weekend of play times, there wasn’t enough to hook me in like past titles have..
    Call of Duty anguard is a great call of duty game..
    Will it quickly b forgotten the moment the next shiny multplayer shows up? Yes, this will not be a staple in your multiplayer collection, but for the time I spent with it, its pretty solid, especially the single player campaign,
    I give Call of Duty Vanguard

    Call of duty vanguard is the latest entry in the call of duty saga. The player will play as the soldiers of task force one who will have the task of discovering a secret project better known as "phoenix". The campaign continues to have a value that many call of duty have ... that is, it looks like a movie, the campaign cinematography already experienced in the last cod with vanguardCall of duty vanguard is the latest entry in the call of duty saga. The player will play as the soldiers of task force one who will have the task of discovering a secret project better known as "phoenix". The campaign continues to have a value that many call of duty have ... that is, it looks like a movie, the campaign cinematography already experienced in the last cod with vanguard reaches its peak and this will please the fans a lot,but for who is not afficioned to the saga the will be bored by the many cutscene for the movie-like effect.To contribute to this we have stunning graphics perhaps among the best of this' The vanguard campaign offers moments of explanations of the history of the characters which, however, are not characterized as they should but there is also an advantage in this regard, namely the variety of game situations you will find yourself fighting in very different places for different reasons (which I'm not saying so as not to spoil) .The gameplay of vanguard unfortunately brings nothing new except insignificant additions such as climbing walls or giving remote orders to teammates. To this is added a very little awake ia.on the multiplayer side instead we have the addition of a new fun mode: we are talking about the hill of champions, a sort of tournament in duos and trios where the players will face each other as in a normal team deatmach but with the difference that for example you have 5 lives and your team is killed 5 times you are eliminated. The players will therefore have the task of keeping as many lives as possible in view of the final match. The maps have also been improved by adding larger maps with more cover. multiplayer now it must be communicated that the skill rank based matchmaking has not yet been fixed, giving more unbalanced games and favoring the strongest teams.

    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.

    Even though the campaign is extremely predictable and the multiplayer is plagued with tones of issues, Call Of Duty: Vanguard is, after all, still a Call of Duty title, and will appeal to all hardcore Call of Duty fans.
