I Played The WORST Call of Duty Ever

Call of Duty Vanguard Gameplay in 2023. In this video, I played CoD Vanguard again after 2 years. Is it still populated or is it dead? Is it good or bad? #callofduty #cod #codvanguard #callofdutyvanguard

ngl cod vanguard is so ridiculous I kinda wish we got a proper game that fully embraced that idea, I missed my chance with Vanguard but man, imagine having Snoop Dogg and Hitler in an alternate cold war setting hitting trickshots, that game has more character than Modern Warfare ever did

[@sebasnu1]

That's right, Vangard became basically CoD mobile wich embraces ridiculousness but the price hikes are insane (every season you just get more absurd skins and loot boxes everywhere).

[@MerrStudio]

@@sebasnu1 I always wanted to give CoD Mobile a try, but no native PC client is just a no no for me. Tried using dedicated android emulator that doesn't get you banned (forgot the name), but controls felt awful and obviously the game was very basic in terms of movement and netcode cause it has to run on phones. Just make a CoD Online already Activision, what are you doing

[@illegalbilly]

Actually bro, CoD mobile is worth it, I never thought twice about it until I had to sell my ps5 but you tweak the settings to fit your playstyle, and it's super fun and you actually get pretty sweet free rewards just for playing the game, they're always updating it too and patching things and it's the only CoD last few years with a viable ranked mode worth grinding

Sometimes I ask myself what the hell happened throughout the development of the game, it had a decent start for a bit but slowly declined into having a crazy identity crisis. My guess the devs took the hate and redirected it towards the setting of the game when that really wasn't why we hated the game, it was the issues we had with it. Probably hence why they sorted to making a ton of crossovers, bundles, etc...thinking it would get players back when it just strayed us away further.

[@Chrizz531]

Some say that the game was changed throughout development. From what i heard online is that vanguard was supposed to be more alternate history based and some of the endgame in the campaign alluded to more seasons being geared towards a continuation of the campaign’s story. The devs definitely panicked after the game’s reception hence why the 3rd season and beyond included crossovers. It was odd seeing as cold war & modern warfare continued with their storyline in the battle pass seasons.

I actually didn’t mind WW2. IMO, it’s better than Vanguard, and COD Mobile lol. Ghosts was 🔥🔥🔥 tho tbh. Their perk system, I loved the map specific kill steaks that you could get from the brief case rewards. Having an enemy drop a little briefcase occasionally, that gave you a challenge to get a free care package that had the rather high probability of being the map specific kill streak, that changed the map for some maps, or the map specific kill streak that would turn you into Mike Myers, and there was a couple more like Mike Myers but I can’t remember what they are, atm. Anyways, Ghosts was actually decent. I’d MUCH rather Ghosts than the new MW2/MW3, ngl. Edit: wait, was this Vanguard? I thought you called it WW2 at first, but then called it Vanguard a few times after that. I don’t really remember how either game looked, tbh, other than the HQ where you opened loot boxes and played the mini games at the firing range n shit. I don’t remember if it had a menu like every other COD and the HQ was optional, or if the HQ was the lobby and there wasn’t a lobby like every other COD has.
