Specialists in the occult and undead, Treyarch lend a hand to Sledgehammer Games to develop Vanguard’s Zombies mode. Level design is varied and unique, all maps with detailed environments and avenues for strategy. On the other hand, the map roster is one of the best in Call of Duty history, with several classics returning that many long-time fans will be right at home with. Not the best way to kick-off a new Call of Duty multiplayer. Maps like Shipment, Das Haus, and Dome are repeat offenders, particularly on game modes with rotating spawns such as Team Deathmatch or Free For All. Playing on any level of pacing, there will be matches where players will spawn immediately behind you or vice versa, ending in seconds between lives. A little more filtering of the specific maps and game modes in each pacing level would be great to utilise this smart feature correctly.Ĭall of Duty is no stranger to lousy spawning locations, but Vanguard certainly wins the war for recent entries. Tactical matches on the small Numa Numa map play out just as chaotic as any game of Assault pacing usually does. While it is an intuitive feature to avoid larger games, the difference between paces isn’t adequately realised. There is almost no remorse for Vanguard’s actions and a clear bad guy/good guy dynamic for another explosive but insensitive campaign. In that case, this campaign is one of the most egregious you’ll experience. Suppose you can’t suppress the underlying pain, suffering, and connotations associated with any war or violence that Call of Duty always seems to glorify. While it is admittedly over the top and maintains a temporal dissonance, absorb the content as a mindless shooter and you’ll have a terrific time. Outstanding acting and voice work from the lead cast, including Dominic Monaghan as Jannick Richter and Laura Bailey as Polina Petrova, adds to the movie-like narrative of the campaign. The cutscenes throughout the experience are extensive with quality a high budget put to use with visuals and animations the level of a Hollywood blockbuster. Regardless, Call of Duty: Vanguard is one of the series’ most cinematic campaigns. As is Arthur Kingsley’s rise to leadership, involving gimmicky command mechanics for the character’s uninteresting section. Piloting a dogfighter as Wade Jackson is a struggle, fighting against the controls to dodge enemy fire from all angles. The campaign is short and sweet but not without lulls. “Call of Duty: Vanguard is one of the series’ most cinematic campaigns.”
