Call of Duty: Vanguard: Is it worth the price tag?

Eric Jarvis

As Call of Duty: Vanguard has not been fully released yet, fans are excited to see what is to come in the new game, let’s take a deep dive into what we know.  It has already been announced by Sledgehammer Games that the new game will have zombies, and they will be making a “universe-expanding” universe expansion meaning,  they are going to be expanding on the storyline of the game making  the games feel like one universe. With previous games and timelines affecting this one, like the MCU. This is always a good thing because there are a lot of COD zombies fans. The game is expected to fully release on November 5th of this year and is available for pre-order. With a beta available on certain dates for people who pre-order.

 The game Call of Duty: Vanguard takes place in WWII and has a good variety of  historical weapons, for you antique weapon fans. They are going with more of a battle field approach adding “reactive gameplay environments” according to developers Sledgehammer Games. However, it does not really change the gameplay and add to the game at all. It’s really just some cool cinematics, like you can drop bridges to walk across mid game. With 20+ brand new maps coming at the launch of the game, and zombies looking to be a blast, it will have a lot of good content.

IGN has to say “Everything looks gorgeous, with great detail and, most noticeable of all, engaging weather effects.”  It doesn’t matter how good the

cinematics or content is if the gameplay is not fun. Vanguard has new kill streaks in the game, such as after 10 you can call in a pack of dogs.The dogs are cool but are more to get kills than interactive gameplay. The multiplayer will be like previous Call of Duty Modern Warfare, running on the same engine. They basically have it down to a science by now. It will be beautiful, but the content is not that refreshing. We have had WWII Call Of Duties in the past. After playing the game. It has large but still fast paced battles, the multiplayer it is sure to be a hit with a style of players. 

The campaign will take place in Europe, Hawaii, Coral Sea Islands, Soviet Union, North America, etc. If you are a WWII fan this game will 

be for you with five different Main Characters with different roles in WWII from a pilot to someone on the front lines . The game will be very educational of the many different main battles and lesser known of WWII.
