Destroy a train, just to watch that :kekw All my time is going into BF2042 this fall. I'll no doubt end up purchasing CoD early next year or something like I did w/ MW (2019).

im really disappointed with sledgehammer. they made such a great game with advanced warfare. then they did cod ww2. which was decent but not nearly as good as aw. now we get another ww2 game? why? it makes no sense. ww2 is already an overdone era. and its so boring using the same guns and fighting the same fights. i wish they would have made an advanced warfare 2. that would be much better. but this ww2 game just screams laziness and a lack of creativity. if they are gonna do a historic war. why not do vietnam or korea. or even ww1. something other than the overdone ww2.

[universetwisters]

I’d rather see a COD set during the Rhodesian bush war than another WW2 one tbh

[ThatBenGuy1998]

I’m actually in agreement with universetwisters and Lemonye outlaw on this one. Don’t get me wrong. I like WW2 themes and all because they’re historical, much like CoD should be IMO but isn’t it a bit on the overdone side? I mean, why the heck must all war games be about either WW2, the Vietnam War, or Middle East wars? There were other wars in history after all. Why not WW1? Why not the Korean War? Now that would breathe a lot and I mean A LOT of fresh air into the franchise. What would be even better IMO is a CoD game taking place in the Seven Years’ War, American Revolution, French Revolution, Napoleonic Wars, or American Civil War. Talk about a revolutionary (no pun intended) to the franchise.

[Grichka Bogdanoff]

It's post WW2 technically, following an alternate history. Still, the general vibe and setting is pretty much actual WW2 which is disappointing and generic.

Also it's another WW2 game without an Italian or Chinese faction.

I always, and I always wonder, why do people think this regarding those particular settings? Any COD game set in those time periods would be limited as hell, both regarding gameplay as well as weaponry. Just, when you’re talking about a franchise like COD that thrives specifically on its fast-paced arcade style gameplay, settings like those really don’t lend themselves to it. It would be, funny enough, like wanting GTA to take place in the Wild West, what it’s generally about also doesn’t lend itself to that type of setting.

I am fed up with most war games since most are set in WW2...

Graphically it looks good, quite an improvement over MW 2019.

Where did you hear that? Though if it is alt-history that would explain the desegregated military units in the trailer.

Yeah, that is never going to happen. Way too much political baggage.

Idk how much though when nearly everyone is anti rhodesia

Here: https://www.pcgamer.com/cod-vanguard-ww2-campaign-preview/

It's a story about 4 soldiers, starts during WW2 and progresses post-WW2 in an alt-history where the Nazis are facilitate/install Hitler's successor, pretty much

It would turn into a "white man is evil" type of game. Plus add the fact that Zimbabwe has become such a sh*tshow since the war. (With some wishing Rhodesia was still around)

[Mister Pink]

I'm actually interested in this. Not a CoD guy by any means but this reminds me of playing Medal of Honor which I loved. Mix that with Wolfenstein's alternate timeline and we could actually have an interesting CoD. 

[Lemoyne outlaw]

has anyone played the champion hill alpha? my impressions so far are basically mediocre. i had some fun games and even won a few times. its not the worst game ever. but its still nothing special. they even reused some of the cod ww2 sound effects. talk about lazy. hopefully it changes in the final game.

Eh, it really is MW 2019 but with a WW2 setting. Cool, Champion Hill is fun, but it's not really that interesting to me - not with a 60€ pricetag and while Battlefield and Halo are getting released in the same window.

[Brown Sugar]

I wonder if they'll remove all the swastikas from the game this time like they did with the last one.

 

I'm only looking forward to this game because of zombies to be honest, Treyarch are working on that mode independently so hopefully it will be similar to Cold War zombies but maybe with more maps this time.

more than likely they will. because they have to pander to the oversensitive people. i actually feel like a ww2 game where we play as axis soldiers would be a unique and interesting twist. but of course they would never do it. it would be like no russian all over again.

 

on a side note its the same reason we cant have confederate flags. red dead redemption 2 is set partially in a former confederate state. where there is a confederate gang operating. but why dont they have their flags? even gta 5 had confederate flags. but when all the confederate controversy started. they took them out. people are way too sensitive about the past. they just want to erase history. sure bad stuff happened back then. but that is the past. its not how life is now.

Same here at least for a long time that it, The new MoA VR game is beautiful but can't play it as I can't use VR

 

I was turned off from CoD after the first of the Black Ops series when they went all Zombies and Futuretistics crap a while back which was too bad too as I like them over Battlefield but until now with 2042 they've stayed away from all of the futuristic stuff with robots, androids and stuff.

 

Don't get me wrong some of that stuff can be fun but it was zombies, drones and stuff was beaten to death over a 10 year a period once the show Walking Dead became so popular that all the gaming companies decided to jump on that I can understand maybe one or two games but some companies added to to every game for years whther it was full game or an add on, No saying CoD did just saying in general.

 

But they started getting me back slowly with the the last few versions as I'm a fan of the older genre battlefields like World War II and Cold War so Call of Duty World War II was the first one I picked up in a long time then i played Cold War and the new MW and so this makes me happy to hear of another WWII game coming out.

Yeah, I actually bought that WWII CoD but never finished it - not because I wasn't enjoying it, just got distracted by RDR2 or something. I'm a sucker for WWII and even Vietnam. One of the first war games I ever bought was Men of Valor on Xbox and Medal of Honor on PS2. I have a real soft spot for period war games, even if I've kind of gone off war games in general. 

 

But the fact this has WWII and alternate timeline, I think it satiates that bit of fantasy I do crave in games now. Because I was actually curious to play the more sci-fi CoDs as I got into playing more sci-fi games. I think an alternate timeline, mixed with historical will give the satisfaction that I'm playing something that looks realistic and of the times and something new and not experienced before. 

 

I usually only play a COD game for the campaign so I hope it's sizable, which I doubt it will. Will be nice to play a new war game on new gen in 4K. Especially now a WWII game! 

[GTA-Biker]

Guess I'm one of the few people here that are happy to see another WW2 game.I don't even get the complaints that there's too many WW2 FPS games,sure there were many of them back in the 2000s,but in the past decade or so there's much more FPS games set in modern times or some made up future wars,I'm already sick of those to be honest.I do agree that there should be more games about WW1 or Vietnam war,both are interesting but not well represented in games,I don't know any major titles set in WW1 other than Battlefield 1 or the ones set in Vietnam other than Battlefield Vietnam, COD Black Ops and Cold War.

As for this game,if it's good and has a decent singleplayer campaign (I don't really care about multiplayer),I'm probably buy it.

If you're intrested in Vietnam games and like Fighter Jet and Helio attack games check out Air Conflict: Vietnam it's kind of arcadey but that's what made's it even better it's on PS4/XB1/PC if you still have one of them.

 

The one that I really liked about AC:V compared to other shoot em up flight sims is they kept the weapons systems the way they were back in the 60's unlike today and today's games where you here lock on target you can fire off the rocket then go after next target knowing it's going to be a kill shot, when they fired a rocket off the phantoms back in Vietnam they had to tail the rocket to the target by keeping the target in the gun sights in order to even have a chance of getting a kill shot and it's the same way in this game so it's more realistic dogfighting in AC:V than most other Fighter Sims out there right now

 

 

Other World War era games is Elite Sniper 1-4 which i'm sure you've probably played before though

[KiTTYReCkless]

I wonder if vanguard will brick ps4's like cold war does. Srsly 2nd time tonight CW has completely locked up my playstation. I am only six levels away from maxing my battle pass and all I really want is that glowy blueprint for the EM2. Like one decent game of zombies and it's mine, but Nooo, I get matched with douche nugget hosts that leave as soon as a zombie slaps the sh*t out of them. Absolute ass matchmaking. Don't know how anyone can suck at zombies now. Everything is so OP. It's easy af.

 

Anyway, I don't like WW2 games to begin with, so I am likely going to skip this CoD. Only thing that would be amusing is playing as a black Nazi, but apparently Activision has re-wrote history and Nazi's don't exist anymore

[trip]

Make fun of me all you want but I pick up CoD for the campaigns.  *only recently have I ventured into multiplayer.

 

So far this one has been my least favorite.  It's a bit slow in action and the enemy AI seems to have issues.  There have been multiple times where I should have been in cover, but instead I just rush through the firefight - I've even ended up standing next to an enemy and he has no clue I'm there.  Punch him all I want and he doesn't stop what he's doing...so shoot 'em.

 

I hope it picks up.

[D9fred95]

I've read that the Zombies mode is apparently massively unfinished. As in, you can't buy guns off the wall anymore and most of the there's only like four perks or something. Anybody know any details on this?

Not an owner of the game but watched a friend's shareplay yesterday.

 

Zombies is indeed 'unfinished', the game only has the mystery box and perk machine. The 'wall' weapons have now been added to the mystery box so you have a chance to get a fully tiered gun from the mystery box.

 

Only four perk machines and they are all in the 'starting' room and you don't have to do anything to start using them, eg turn on power etc and the pack a punch machine only 'upgrades' the effectiveness of the gun, no tints/camo's at this tiime.

 

You only have three objectives to do and once done not much else except kill what seem easier zombies. It appears any substantial content will not come until Season 2 so I would wait for a few updates before making a purchase myself.

[Collibosher]

I've never played any COD games and still not planning to, but I accidentally stumbled across some playthrough videos of this game on Youtube and holy hell those cutscenes look good! I don't think I've ever seen so well done characters with so natural looking facial animations and mocap in video games. I've been feeling a bit let down generally in what becomes to the technical and graphical "jump" from last gen to current gen, but there has clearly been some significant advancements with cutscenes related technology.

 

 

It's weird how more "pleasant" it feels to watch an all cgi film, compared to some heavy cgi live action films such as "Avengers endgame", where I personally almost felt physical sickness from all those real life human heads floating in virtual bodies in video game looking environments. I couldn't even watch those films thru.
