    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.

    Ignore these Call of Duty fanboy 12 yo's who gave this game higher score. This would be better if it was actual add on for MW19 because it's basically a reskin and nothing else. CoD is becoming again copy pasted **** like over 5 years ago. MW19 looks more next gen than this garbage

    The online experience can, as in Cold War, be explained in a single word: SBMM. Whether you like it or not is up to you but I absolutely despise it. The story is something different. It is way worse. I talked a lot about WW2 with my grandpa who was lucky to survive. He stated several times that he is absolutely sad how this terrible conflict is being abused to not only profit and earn hugeThe online experience can, as in Cold War, be explained in a single word: SBMM. Whether you like it or not is up to you but I absolutely despise it. The story is something different. It is way worse. I talked a lot about WW2 with my grandpa who was lucky to survive. 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. A very sad trend indeed.… Expand

    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

    This doesn't deserve a rating with how poorly the game functions and how poor the gameplay is.

    The game is fun when it works. But it never works. Ever. I can't even launch the game or choose which mode I wanna play before it crashes.

    Game conveyor! Aren 't you tired of World War 2 games ? Weak plot and poor network mode. Cold War is much better.

    This is a shameful game, worse than Cod and never was. Multiplayer is hell, enemies are reborn behind you and on the sides. TTK is too fast. Shame and kringe!

    Another COD game that proves they don't care about the gamer and only care about making money with false advertisement. Save your money and buy Battlefield 2042

    An absolute pitiful try at a call of duty title. The campaign is so bland with characters that are so boring and unlikable, fully unlovable, faces that are straight punchable. The Multi-player is boring. Maps are repetitive, zombies Is an absolute joke. Do not waste any money on this trash. I'm so happy I got a refund.

    Про сюжет - не исторично и близко, разработчики не умеют запускать браузер и поисковую систему. Считайте, что его нет.
    Качество игры - ниже плинтуса, я бы сделал лучше.
    Проблемы мультиплеера: 1) Респавн в бою. Вы появляетесь всегда перед противником и мгновенно умираете в 75% случаев. 2) Если вы кого то убили то он заспавнится сразу же сзади вас и вы умрете. 3) Настройки по умолчанию.

    Vanguard could have been a good game, but lags, packet burst & dev error 5573 make it frustrating to play! The Story is too short. But the worst part is, there is no RB Zombies and no Easter Egg! Very very disappointing! 80€ for an unfinished game. Definetly too much! Im done!

    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.
