MULTI Call of Duty: Vanguard officially announced, to be revealed in Warzone
- Thread starter manigamer
- Start date
Most likely standalone like Cold War. Warzone can be accessed from its main menu, but it needs to be downloaded independently.
and I HATE it...hate that you need to download the campaign from the store inside the multiplayer lobby individually - like how does that make any sense
Yeah, it's definitely an annoyance. I think the issue is that there's no PS5/Series X|S version of Warzone, and therefore it can't be integrated into the main app. Hopefully they do current-gen builds soon.
Hilarious how one Call of Duty fanboy was more concerned about shifting blame on Blizzard. Yikes.

The company is called Activision Blizzard, so they obviously wouldn't want their name up there during the lawsuit.
Vanguard will still outsell both Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite put together, so it doesn't hurt their bottom line either way lol.

Tried the Alpha.
It's a game of cat 'n mouse! Whomever gets the aim down first wins! Typical COD. Unlike COD:M, that game still allows for better skills to win over the campers.
COD: M is perfect!
It's super hard to spot the opposing team members, everything is so fucking dull & brown!
Anyway, don't like the WW 2 era guns & setting, so I will skip it.

Played the Alpha today. Ran at a relatively stable 120fps, though this was on Champion Hill mode, which is 3 vs 3 at max. Will be interesting to see how frame rate fares in 6 vs 6 modes.
Movement and core mechanics are similar to Modern Warfare. The slide covers a larger distance than in Cold War, the mount mechanic is back from MW, and your weapon model loosely tracks your reticle like in the latter, and TTK is about the same. Weapons, however, feel different in handling. From what I've played so far, Vanguard's gameplay seems to be a cross between WWII and MW.
Will decide if I'll get this day 1 after the Beta. COD games usually go on sale during the Christmas period, so may wait until then.
The DualSense features are fantastic. Haptics and adaptive triggers are both better implemented here than in Cold War. The left trigger tightens up at the mid-pull (at least with the default weapon), so you don't end up pulling it all the way. This is a real game changer for me. I'm confused as to how they're going to replicate this on the Xbox controller, since it appears to get enabled after a few weapon upgrades. It kind of makes sense for it to be tied to upgrades, because you go in and out of ADS much faster than you do if you pull it all the way down.
P.S. Did Necrokiller make this?

The "press a button to stick your weapon at predefined locations" mechanic? When will they ever figure out how to implement seamless and dynamic cover mechanic?

Also pay attention to how you have to be in the right position to wait for the button prompt and not confuse it with vault prompt.. LMAO...there is even a moment when you started firing by mistake expecting the game to "blindfire".
We have disabled traderscore and are working on a fix. There was a bug with the plugin | Click for Discord

Necrokiller:
Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

SolitarySoldier:
if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff. -
SolitarySoldier:
Phil keeps talking about breaking barriers to gaming, making it accessible on all platforms yada yada, while killing competition and creativity at the same time. the fact that i actually believed him for a second lol

SolitarySoldier:
"These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out. -
XPremiuM:
They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
-
XPremiuM:
What's the f*** is wrong with them? I mean really? Have they completely lost it? F***ing retards.
-
XPremiuM:
So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

XPremiuM:
Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.Necrokiller said:
