    Super down level and bad multiplayer...No narrative and poor level design. I do believe that the game is made in rush and they can make games better.

From Germans using Sturmgewehr-44 in 1942 Stalingrad to some girl running around like she's another Assassin's creed character. German juggernaught soldier's who guard high-ranked villains, inaccurate uniform and tank model representations for their times along with a whole list I could mention. It's not worth your money unless you desperately want to support historical inaccuracies and play some power-fantasy campaign. Multiplayer doesn't feel innovated compared to the previous games and the attachments with most guns are nowhere near WW2-esque to be believable. This game had alot of potential from the trailers, but was butchered and ruined by their simple and non-existant historical sources and writing. Zombies is not even worth mentioning as it becomes boring very fast, nothing innovated other than few missions you do and then jump into some portal from multiplayer maps that got changed over to Zombie-styled theme. Activision shouldn't get away with 60 bucks for this. Hope this helps someone save their money. Expand

    Literally trash. Blm and feminist agenda is far not the worst part of the game. What is actually worse is the attention to details and dumb storyline. Characters talking without opening their mouth, Soviets using T34-85 tanks and AS44 rifles in 1942 though they appeared only in 1944. Japanese on the islands using german equipment.

Soviet parkourist-nurse-sniper? Are you fuc*ing serious? I understand that you are running out of ideas this is too much. Cringe dialogues between Polina and her family members. German boss-sniper who gets stabbed by Polina, stuns her and runs away instead of instantly killing her. And this is only a small part of what awaits you inside the game. Save your money, buy some flowers for your mom. Expand

    Another cod game with no soul... and a game that has succumb to wokeness... 30mins in game and you alleredy gets shoved down a big pile of feel bad that you are a man with a high ego.... Sad times, sad times...

    Over-all game experience is bad, games are slow and TTK ( time to kill) is way to fast. often you will get one tapped in foot with full hp. If you never have tryed to get a nuke or in this game a V2 rocket. its the game for you because it way to easy...

    The campaign is full of invisible walls, no real reason to explore the levels. Its basically close to be the same old WW2 story we have played though so many times. Will say the cutscenes, are good, like really good. The campaign is really short and you will be left with a feeling that you rather wants to play the cutscenes, then watch them...

    Graphics: Its like the game have three different types of graphics sometimes the game looks really good, other times a face of a human or dog will look like ****

    Multiplayer: The game is a Cod game... One new gun power level mode called "patrol" this mode is just a easy way to get gun levels, so you can use them in warzone... The game still has no focus on cooperative play, you are solo soldier running around, so dont expect anything from your teammates... in my opinion the multiplayer is worse in anyways... you will feel like a headless chicken running around and shooting in a room full of other headless chickens...

    Zombie mode is **** holy **** it suck's.... not cutscenes, no story, they removed aline gun, raygun and stormgun from the game mode... The mode it self is just three things you have to do... escorting a flying skull, havest dog tags and last thing defend against a blitz of zomebies coming out of the same holes... the zomebie mode is barebone nothing new...

    Call of duty vanguard is in my opinion a cheap cash grab... fast money for a dying company... but we can use the game for one thing. A reminder that we dont need a new COD game every year... We could wait five years and hope they would come up with something interesting and new... I have 95 hours in this game and i will never get them back... Dont do what i did and spend 95 hours in this game.....

    It's not like the bar was set very high for CoD this year. We all know what to expect, and yet they still fail to meet that expectation. It would be more accurate to refer to Vanguard as a $70 expansion pass for Warzone than it's own entity. Barely any thought put into Campaign, to no one's shock; lazy AI coding, and multiplayer that does everything MW 2019 did, just worse.

It would be more accurate to refer to Vanguard as a $70 expansion pass for Warzone than it's own entity. Barely any thought put into Campaign, to no one's shock; lazy AI coding, and multiplayer that does everything MW 2019 did, just worse. Game modes are as bare bones as they get, map design leaves much to be desired. Don't even get me started on the weapon customization, ripped directly from MW 2019, so now you can bubba all your favorite WW2 weapons till your heart's content. It's so dumb it's beyond parody. The ONLY selling point this game has besides carrying the franchise's name is new content for Warzone. Color us all surprised. This "game" more or less serves as a sandbox to level the new weapons you can use in Warzone.
    None of this should be a surprise, though. We all know Call of Duty's dev cycle is basically non-existent. How can they innovate with barely a year to develop the game? It's the same trap that's been killing Madden and Fifa for the past decade. But it makes hilarious amounts of money, so we will never get a Call of Duty that will fulfill it's potential. Easy, lazy money, because we all suck it all up year after year.
    What an absolute waste. With this dud of a game and Battlefield 2042 off to a less-than-stellar launch, Halo Infinite can't come soon enough. Maybe then we can all actually play a good FPS this year. Oh, did you also know it's Multiplayer is FREE?
    Please for the love of your wallet, save your $70 for something actually worthy of it. Buy some groceries. Get a fresh new pair of shoes, even. Just not this.

The campaign is more movie than game and combines the worst of both worlds. Wannabe filmmakers meet uncreative and uninspired "game" developers. This is refusal to work (or actually the publisher Activision being malicious and stupid to give their developers only eight months - eight months is NOT enough to develop a game that needs 3 years to be made ).
    The only okay thing is that the movement is almost as nice as in Cold War, but only almost. And the diversity albeit very clichée, cringe and over-the top is a charming and nice idea, I guess, albeit with a completely botched let's say 'implementation'. Depth is lacking, pacing is non-existent. Story? What story?

    This game is scam. Avoid at all costs! The developers should change their publisher since obviously Activision doesn't care about their health nor about quality of their products and certainly not about their customers as well (except their money of course)

The game also forces you to only play certain play-styles, the only way you can compete in this game is if you wanna sweat and tryhard with smg's and bazookas.

    Then about the zombies, I never got to play zombies in this game but from what I've heard it's basically just a desperate attempt to copy Cold War's zombies, but even when given a simple task like copying and pasting something Sledgehammer has failed miserably if you wanna play modern cod zombies just buy Cold War or Black Ops 4 I guess.

    The 2 in 2/10 comes from Champion Hill being the only thing in multiplayer that actually feels unique and original to COD and that I have actually heard some good things about the campaign even tho I haven't played it.

    I hope next year's cod will be something worth pre-ordering. Oh and one last thing, the Atomic camo is the ugliest most piece of **** final camo in modern COD's, the only final camo that's uglier is probably COD: WW2's final camo.

    This latest installment deserves low ratings. For a WW2 game, it should have some reasonable accuracy. Picking up an STG 44 in 1941- really? And what about a black soldier and a Russian in Russian uniform on a mission to Germany as if no Nazi will notice them is completely laughable. The only saving grace are the cutscenes.

    As typical, another Call of Duty game been butchered and removed all suspension of disbelief when it comes to historical accuracy. From Germans using Sturmgewehr-44 in 1942 Stalingrad to some girl running around like she's another Assassin's creed character. German juggernaught soldier's who guard high-ranked villains, inaccurate uniform and tank model representations for their times along with a whole list I could mention. It's not worth your money unless you desperately want to support historical inaccuracies and play some power-fantasy campaign. Multiplayer doesn't feel innovated compared to the previous games and the attachments with most guns are nowhere near WW2-esque to be believable. This game had alot of potential from the trailers, but was butchered and ruined by their simple and non-existant historical sources and writing. Zombies is not even worth mentioning as it becomes boring very fast, nothing innovated other than few missions you do and then jump into some portal from multiplayer maps that got changed over to Zombie-styled theme. Activision shouldn't get away with 60 bucks for this. Hope this helps someone save their money.

    This is a disappointment , you had the game engine all ready done and can’t make the game right, let’s begin:
    The campaign is short wont go into details on it you have to play it your self- I thought they made the game like this so they can have a decent multiplayer mode right ? Wrong lets talk the multiplayer the mode that you’ll spend the rest of the time when finishing the campaign

Wrong lets talk the multiplayer the mode that you’ll spend the rest of the time when finishing the campaign (or if you don’t play it all the time then)

    Lets talk multiplayer
    1.horrible spawns - this is the first game I played experience I spawn with 3 enemies behind me , I seen enemies spawn in front of me.
    2.dominations- like #1 it looks like sledgehammer don’t know how to program if enemies already spawn camping a base they should rotate your spawns to the other side giving you a chance to take other bases but no you can get spawn camp in an instant if your team mates can eliminate enemies soon enough for them get in position.
    3.explosions are like smoke grenades- I seen a lot of explosions and you can’t even see a thing because they last way too long so it’s annoying seeing this.
    4.Bad balancing teams- a level 1 all ready paired with prestige’s 3 really they all ready have good weapons with attachments and you’re not even playing with players with your level because you unlock the ability to edit load outs in level 4 so hey sledgehammer at least pair people with same level so they can level up first and unlock some things so they can defend themself with higher rank people. ( and im aware the battle pass has some weapons you can unlock that have good attachment but this is for people that don’t buy battle passes or can’t because whatever reasons but even that they should pair people with same ranks at least to get the hang of it.)
    5.new shipment- Horrible experience lets say spawn camp city look for videos you will see what I mean.
    6. Hackers- don’t need to say anymore this was the reason I stoped playing war zone in the first place.

    The champion hill mode - I should say its the one I felt more enjoyable becase here its competitive yes but I never gotten spawned camp or anything bad here for the moment But for me its good played in the alpha in the ps5 and still think is good.

    This is the last one I have and one of the most disappointing thing I seen I can even say even lazies thing and it is the operators - the operators you’ll get at random you need to complete challenges to unlock them that’s fine but the main issue I have is there are no opposing team of operators like heroes vs villains like other call of duty games this I mean because everyone can use the same operators if you have a separated operators sides then you can distinguish team vs enemies because if you run on to someone no many times you can see the red icon on the head to know if they are friendly or not, people can say look at the map to know but you know look away for a second it can be penalizing for the bad spawns.

    The reason I think sledgehammer are very lazy is because this people didn’t even made the engine so most of the work is already done they just did a reskin of a game so there is no excuse for everything I mentioned here (except for the #3 since its my opinion of that) they could have done a better job of the multiplayer since its the place where most players will be and honestly like I said they didn’t make an game engine so all that time they would had spend doing it would at least make the game fun but honestly it isn’t .

    So this is my opinion , I respect what others said as well but I disagree with many people thinking the game is 100% great when clearly it isn’t , even the game got a free week to play to try getting more players to the game but honestly with this issues I don’t recommend anyone buy this game from 50-70 dollars I don’t feel it wort that by the current state because this game is rushed beyond believe even after getting a head start with the engine .

    So this is my review thanks for reading , if you see the game free sometime play it every one has their own opinions , maybe some of the issues are fixed latter on except the operators since they where lazy enough to not create different sides, but hope of the others issues are fixed.

    • guns either kill in two shots or are hit marker simulators, there is no middle ground
    • kill streaks (instead of score streaks) encourage players to play TDM in every game mode and ignore objectives
    • boring kill streak rewards
    • so many explosions and particles that you literally cannot see anything in some maps (my particles were turned all the way down!)
    • way too much flair with very little substance

    Call of Duty: Vanguard maintains the usual high level of production of the Call of Duty series, with an excellent cinematic narrative that allows players to have an audio-visual experience of being in the battlefield. The online content is also excellent, the new zombie mode has many good parts, but the thin content makes it difficult to retain players for a long time. Overall, it is still a popular FPS worth trying.

    With Vanguard, Call of Duty returns to the roots of the series: World War II. The solo campaign is entertaining but short, and the multiplayer is exactly as expected: full of action and adrenalin. However, the few novelties are not spectacular enough to lift it above mediocrity.
