The main character is Arthur Kingsley, a British paratrooper based on Sidney Cornell. This story has you play as a variety of soldiers inspired by several real-life World War II heroes. I’d like to tell you that Vanguard moves away from this trend and offers more, but that would be a lie.
They are limited in nature, but are okay for what they are. They can be finished in one or two sits and usually do a reasonable job of replicating a conventional Hollywood action movie. It creates some unease, but I’m glad to say that there are more positives than negatives to Vanguard, at least if you stick to multiplayer.įor most players, it’s probably multiplayer that interests you, but Call of Duty campaigns do have their own appeal. This diverse list of installments makes it difficult to predict what to expect from a Sledgehammer Call of Duty game. It’s a reasonable, but mixed, list of installments that don’t have too much in common beyond their shared brand name. It has also assisted with the creation of Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops Cold War. Sledgehammer Games has previously been responsible for Advanced Warfare and WWII.
This time around it is Sledgehammer Games’ turn with Call of Duty: Vanguard, an entry that pivots back to Modern Warfare‘s newer engine. Some liked the shift, but others certainly didn’t. Treyarch moved away from just about everything Modern Warfare had built up, opting to create a classic-styled CoD game instead. Last year’s Call of Duty was a divisive one.
