    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.

    Call of Duty Vanguard is more of an improvement in the single-player campaign compared to Black Ops Cold War which was stupidly short, but it was still somewhat short where previous games had campaigns that lasted close to 7 to 10 hours. This one only lasted for 5 hours which is a shame, but the game still had its moments for the multiplayer mode and warzone.....

    I wish I could give a negative number as a score. The multiplayer is sabotaged by servers that make it pointless to play, and spawning that's so aggressively bad that it has to be an intentional choice. The time to kill is very short, so either you have amazing internet or you don’t even know you’ve been shot until a killcam starts.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is bankrupt of any kind of creativity. All of the characters common from a specific war stereotype. Polina had a good story, but the overall mission was quite predictable and her father dying wasn’t really much of a surprise to me. However the rest of the campaign is terrible, story wise. Arthur is in my opinion, a shallow character and the stereotypical leader. Worse is the scripted events and cutscenes. I felt like I was watching the game instead of playing it, and sometimes scripted events occurred (the instant when polina shot the German flamethrower dude in the back and set him ablaze, and the grenade thing in the last mission). Overall, the story is filled with cliches, and by the end I was happy it was over. Multilayer is WORSE than the campaign. The time to kill is essentially the equivalent to COD ghosts time to kill, and the maps just make you act like a chicken with your head cut off, just searching for kills. Worse, killstreaks like the dog suck, insta killing the player, and you never know when the dog come because it sometimes comes right behind you. Gun play is okay, but the progression actual sucks. the team MVP is terrible, and it’s clear the devs simply recycled animations because they were too lazy. Don’t even get me started on zombies. Treyarch was put in charge of creating the mode, and they screwed it up big time. Reminding you this was the same studio that created the mode and what I is, and they screwed up. I can’t believe how bad it is. For anyone wishing to pick this game up, do not. It is essentially an insult to the gamer community, and a cash grab. The game is overpriced and worthless. In fact, this game makes COD WW2 look like a better experience.… Expand

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.

This is hands down the worst COD game of all time. They have also stripped down their last game from removing the social hub, the fun game mode where you have an objective you have to stand beside and move it towards the point and the customisation of your character. In its place is generic game modes and boring inclusive operators which have zero relation to this wars setting. That's just the multiplayer aspect.

    Singleplayer campaign is god awful, it's another cinematic movie experience because we don't have enough of them and we don't have enough games trying to preach and lecture us about something. It is truly a disgusting and disrespectful approach to the war it is meant to be covering, it truly is fan fiction for people who don't like games. Polina is the Mary Sue feminist strong woman character, then we have the bizarre option of a black British soldier who is apparently from a well off wealthy family who is incredibly intelligent (during that time, definitely not accurate) and we have a rogue German soldier along with a Yank and someone else... An odd cast of misfits who never are we truly interested in anyway. This is what happens when you let gaming journalists sway your decision making with games.

    Zombies is just bare, for as little content it provides it deserves as little content written about it. Abysmal.

    Worst COD since COD Infinite Warfare, albeit I would genuinely without being sarcastic or bitter say that Infinite Warfare provided a better COD than this.    … Expand

    Yes it's a copy of MW, but it plays better. Multiplayer is very fun, campaign is super good but a bit short, and zombies is just not good.

    It has been a long time since I played a CoD game. The story is fine but the length of it is short. I tried the Zombie part as well. I believe that it would be much more fun if you play with a friend when you want to play this mode.

    Where Black Ops embraces the 'bro'-ness with battle passes that include Stallone and Willis as playable characters, Vanguard is the complete opposite--with an absurd push for female participants: to the point where most operators are womens...this is World War 2, supposedly.

Multiplayer is decent if you just use a machine gun to mow down players using controllers that are aim-assisted up the ass. You can see in killcams just how dumb it is. Never play campaigns on COD but if the operator gender ratio from multiplayer gives any idea--i'm sure it's just as retarded. Seen other reviewers mention a reskin of MW19: completely yes. But that game was a fun revitalization of the franchise--this game is a servicable but ultimately dissapointing continuation. Since I've had fun on multiplayer merking aim-assisted noobs I'm giving the game a 5.… Expand

    The worst COD by far, especially storywise. Not one thing this iteration does better than any cods before it. Been buying them every year but this one left such a horrible aftertaste in my mouth than I'm just gonna skip the next couple of them unless they fire the people who made and wrote this garbage.

    Сюжетная линия совсем огорчила, не думал, что игра станет настолько фальшивой, очень много багов, как будто делали на скорую руку, лишь бы люди схавали это. Но есть и положительные стороны, оптимизация хорошая, графика впечатляет, голливудские сцены присутствуют, но их мало. Не думаю, что стоит покупать эту игру.Сюжетная линия совсем огорчила, не думал, что игра станет настолько фальшивой, очень много багов, как будто делали на скорую руку, лишь бы люди схавали это.

    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'm not sure how, but it feels even worse than last year's call of duty cold war. To be honest I feel disgusted by the fact that I bought this, and I regret it 100%, and since this is Sony, I already know I'm not getting my money back regardless of how little I played. Last year's installment atleast had really fun zombies, this COD has nothing.

    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.

    While not quite hitting the series high of Modern Warfare, Vanguard is Call Of Duty as it should be: fast, satisfying, and always calling you back for more. [Issue#10, p.92]

    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.
