It gives the maps a satisfying sense of progression, and it's fun to see the mess left behind by a half-dozen bombing-run killstreaks. While we're not talking Battlefield levels of destruction, certain walls and windows can be shattered to alter the flow of maps, and environments are subject to a more cosmetic 'dirtying' over time. Foremost among the new additions are more destructive maps. In the end, Vanguard's campaign mostly feels like a setup for Call of Duty: Vanguard 2, with its most interesting concepts apportioned off for a potential sequel.Īs the campaign struggles to make the best of its ideas, multiplayer is more progressive, bringing a couple of broad changes and more bespoke new features that make a small but noticeable difference from previous years. The cutscenes are long and meandering, and it all leads up to an underwhelming final mission. The rest of the time, they're incarcerated in a prison cell, while Dominic Monaghan's creepy Nazi administrator tries his best to conceal Vanguard's almost complete lack of plot. Sadly, there are only two missions in which the squad actually work together. What initially seems like a different take on the Second World War turns out to be just another playable highlight reel of the conflict ![]() But the general rapport of the squad is engaging, while characters like Lucas the Australian saboteur, and Polina the Russian sniper, are given enough depth to make you vaguely care about them. The writing may be heavily splashed with patriotic pathos, and the fact the game uses quotes from its own characters for the death-screens is painfully pretentious. It's a shame because, for once, the characters are a likeable bunch.
