Jesus Christ.

Call of Duty didn't need to do another WW2 game, we had 5 of them before this. That being said, Vanguard just plain fuckin' sucks.

Starting with campaign, it varies from boring to god-awful historical revisionism. None of the characters do anything interesting, all of the story is told through backstory that kinda connects? All they do is just show how the main characters became more like leaders but leave it at that. Plus, crazy saying that Polina single-handedly help win Stalingrad for the Red Army, like... that's plain not what happened. The villain, Hermann Freisinger, is you know... a Nazi. Pretty evil dude to say the least, but he wants to be Hitler but better? We all know Nazis are evil so if you know anything we know why we should be routing against him. All in all, its boring.

Multiplayer is... Multiplayer. It's just MW 2019's gameplay but you can have all 10 gunsmith attachments! ...Great stuff. All the new weapons and characters added didn't fucking fit into a WW2 COD game, like fucking Snoop Dog and Menendez? The F2000 and EM3? Do we not care about game premises anymore? Mid.

Zombies is HOT ASS, but did get kinda better. On launch, NO ROUND BASED ZOMBIES. What the fuck was the point of even having zombies without round based as even an option? Eventually with more updates, the newer maps had round based gameplay with some gameplay improvements, but fuck me, poor Treyarch got dragged in to throw together some half assed mode for Sledgehammer (WHO WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO MAKE COD THAT YEAR) to put into.

Closely tied with MWIII (2023) as the worst Call of Duty. Period.
