    Gutted zombies, but not a surprise really. Activision has slowly been ruining cod for years.

    It's not perfect, but it's million times better than whatever battleflop2042 is trying to do, they don't even have campaign and multiplayer feels empty and boring. CoD is actually trying to do things right this time. Gun sounds are great, nice graphics, solid campaign.

    I personally didn't like cod cold war, it was buggy and boring, but Vanguard actually feels nice. Fun and long single player campaign, beautiful graphics, lots of stuff to do. I'm surprised.

    Way better than last year's cod and obviously better shooter than battlefail2042. Would recommend to old and new cod fans!

    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.

    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.
