    This review is for the campaign only and that's all I play with COD. AMAZING!!! At last COD came out with a solid campaign with a great story. Epic locations for the story and they play out with "Wow" factor. Graphics are the best "Over the Top" for a COD campaign I have seen in years. The PS5 just makes this game play like a full movie and depth that has been put into this is on so manyThis review is for the campaign only and that's all I play with COD. AMAZING!!!

Outstanding and my only issue......please make a longer campaign at last!!! Stop making them so short and FPS gamers want this to happen please. Listen to your audience. Expand

    by far the best call of duty multiplayer game for years, all the negative reviews are from modern warfare weapons fans

    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.

    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.

    Компания хоть и короткая, но в целом интересная и понятная. Советую её пройти всем вначале, что бы можно было ознакомиться с героями и пострелять из оружия. Основная часть игры это сетевая составляющая и зомбирежим. В сетевом режиме всё сделано на высшем уровне, очень много разного контента.

    Best COD I’ve played in a long time.
    Great maps, great movement, great gunplay.

    COD giving you so much content in one game being a campaign , multiplayer and zombies, good bang for buck and its quality

    Some Folks who give bad ratings are doing it because they’re not having successful matches which is not the game fault

    I also love they everyone is running and gunning instead of camping

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

    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.

    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.

    Battlefield is trying to do their regular woke trash, just like they did in Battlefield V.
    Vanguard is actually pretty cool, would recommend!

    One of the best Call of Duty's in very long time. Just ignore negative reviews, these are just BF fanboys who can't deal with the fact, that all BF has is buggy multiplayer and COD is actually delivering solid single player experience.

    I haven't been fan of cod games in years, because they have been simply awful, but this one seems to be actually solid. I'm glad things are finally turning around for cod.

    Most of these haters don't even know what they want. In fact i'm pretty sure, most of them don't even like cod games in general. They would hate even, if it was most perfect cod ever. Is Vanguard most perfect cod ever? Hell no. Is it awful tho? Far from it. Better than last two.

    So typical. Woke Battlefield fans trying to hate cod, but this time they have no ammo left. All they got is buggy multiplayer, while cod delivers solid campaign. It's over for bf.

    Well, so far COD: Vanguard is best shooter of 2021, that much i know, that much i can tell you. Will Halo be good? Who knows. But new COD is solid. Moving the wheels.

    Solid cod game over a long time, finally something different. Trailers made it look like trash, but i can already tell this one is going to be popular.

    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.
