COD: Vanguard trailer

[Dirty Hipsters]

So they surprisingly released some multiplayer gameplay. That was quick.


Looks really like more of the same. A little too much of the same. Are armor plates really a thing they had in WWII? Oh, and there's "destruction", which looks embarrassing. Wooden boards, how cutting edge.

Despite using the same engine as MW, it has none of that game's graphical improvements, sound design, fresh ideas, and little touches that really made me want to try out a CoD game after years of staying away. I guess the cycle continues.

I have to say, I hate the look of the holographic optics on the guns.

I get that they feel like they have to add optics like that because a lot of people don't like iron-sights, but they could at least try to make them period appropriate. They could have just had some low power scout scopes or something instead to simulate the kind of sight picture you might get with red dot instead of just adding holographic dot sights to WWII guns.

Ditto. This looks bonkers.

This is what World at War tried, back in 2008, for the 4x "ACOG", and the Red Dot sight, respectively,



From memory, Battlefield 1 also did a decent job at period-appropriate sights.

I have no idea who/why they thought modern-looking red dot sights were a good idea. They completely clash with the aesthetic of WW2 - and even look more modern, than the ones featured in a lot of Modern Military shooters.

Looks, and plays like a last-gen game.

Most body armour in world war 2 did use plates, but body armour for infantry was very rare as the plates were heavy and not particularly effective against guns of the time.

Anyway, yeah, it looks bad.

I keep ragging on this game, but I had to laugh.



Hmmm, that's a very interesting handgun being used Looks almost like the M19 from Modern Warfare...

I see endless meme potential for that image alone.

Huh, it looks like the campaign will feature multiple fronts and will break down into smaller stories, like in BF1 or COD: WAW. I mean it's still a COD game and I won't expect any groundbreaking writing, but at least the devs are acknowledging there were battles other than Post-Norway Western Front. Particularly interested in stallingrad.

Hoping for a wide variety in a maps as well. I mean think of the potentials here

I love being a nerd, loving this stuff. It is good to be us.
