Call of Duty Vanguard is a first-person shooter game developed by Sledgehammer Games, the 19th mainline entry in the Call of Duty franchise built on the next generation IW Engine. Call of Duty Vanguard takes place during the height of WWII and after the war, you will be able to experience the birth of the special forces and their pivotal role in influential battles on all of the 4 major fronts in the war Western, Eastern, North Africa, and the Pacific front. The game will also feature an expansive multiplayer, and zombies mode developed by Treyarch Studios.
Overall, Call of Duty: Vanguard is a very welcome addition to the Call of Duty franchise. Sledgehammer has always helped drive the franchise forward into adventurous new territories and Vanguard is no exception. If you find yourself itching for a new FPS in your life, Vanguard is ready for you to pick up and is easy enough to drop into so that you’ll never feel out of place as a new player. If you’re wary about picking this game up because you’re someone who didn’t like the change from 2019 Modern Warfare’s engine to Treyarch’s in Cold War, then you’ll be happy to learn that this runs on Modern Warfare’s engine and the gunplay and visuals remain entirely intact.
Gaming Age
All told, Call Of Duty: Vanguard has exceeded my expectations, especially after a less-than-promising pre-launch Alpha and press event. Then again, the Beta was drastically improved overall so I was already feeling more optimistic by launch. I’m also very excited for post-launch content like Shipment, League and Gunfight, as well as more MP and Zombies maps. Now that maps are always free—replaced by a Battle Pass and cosmetic Item Shop—these games stay fresh and populated much longer than before, and I foresee a great deal of Vanguard in my future, though I’m sure I’ll dip back into Cold War frequently as well.
