Call of Duty: Vanguard

Call of Duty: Vanguard unleashes ferocious first-person shooter action across World War II’s fiercest fronts, where an elite multinational Task Force Vanguard races to dismantle a sinister Nazi plot. Developed by Sledgehammer Games, it thrusts players into paratrooper drops, Pacific carrier assaults, and Stalingrad snipes, delivering blockbuster intensity on powerhouse PC rigs or emulated portably on Android via Winlator. Diverse campaigns spotlight unsung heroes, while multiplayer’s vast maps and Zombies’ occult horrors fuel endless lobbies, blending tactical depth with chaotic frags for PC dominators and mobile warriors alike.

Storyline

The campaign takes place in Berlin in 1945, during a tense interrogation of captured Task Force Vanguard members. British paratrooper Arthur Kingsley, Soviet sniper Polina Petrova, Australian commando Lucas Riggs, and U.S. pilot Wade Jackson all tell Captain Carver Butcher where they came from. Flashbacks take place in theaters all over the world. For example, Kingsley and his aide Richard Webb protect bridges during Normandy’s Operation Tonga glider assault; Petrova, the “Lady Nightingale,” kills Luftwaffe commander Leo Steiner in Stalingrad’s rubble to get revenge for her father’s execution; Jackson fights Japanese Zeros at Midway and lives through the jungles of Bougainville; and Riggs fights with the Rats of Tobruk in Libya’s deserts, ignoring orders at El Alamein that cost his comrade Des Wilmot’s life and getting him imprisoned.

The team discovers Project Phoenix, which is not a superweapon but rather Obergruppenführer Hermann Freisinger’s plan to start a Fourth Reich atomic apocalypse by hijacking a train in Hamburg. They are captured in Berlin and see Webb’s brutal execution by interrogator Jannick Richter and the death of their Yugoslavian ally Milos Novak, which makes them want to escape even more. Kingsley kills Richter, Riggs gets away, and the team burns Freisinger at the airport, taking documents that show where Nazis are hiding around the world and starting a never-ending chase.

Gameplay

Vanguard’s single-player mode has nine cinematic missions that take place on Pacific islands, North African dunes, frozen Soviet streets, and European skies. These missions combine stealth, vehicle chaos, and huge assaults. Switch between heroes for different missions. For example, you can pilot dive bombers in Midway dogfights, command Riley-like dogs in jungles, or make long-range picks as Petrova. The environments are destructible, the loadouts are customizable, and there are jaw-dropping set pieces like glider crashes and submarine infiltrations that make the action more exciting through linear spectacles.

Multiplayer starts with 20 maps, such as Das Haus, Shipment, Castle, Dome, Berlin, and Gavutu. It can support up to 28 players in Team Deathmatch, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Search & Destroy, and new modes like Champion Hill battle royale tournaments and Patrol objective escorts. Fight Pacing sliders let you set the intensity of the game, with Tactical for methodical flanks and Blitz for arcade frenzy. You can also get perks like Fortified and killstreaks from Flamenaut suits to glide bombs. Zombies brings back Dark Aether survival on the Der Anfang hubworld. You can collect essences to get entity powers, open objective portals, and run roguelike games against undead hordes. The game gets bigger with DLC maps like Shi No Numa.

Playing Experience

Storming Vanguard brings on World War II anger, with orchestral swells and squad banter making breaches worse as bullets fly and tanks rumble. Missions are full of hero spotlights and twists, and multiplayer is full of slow-paced mastery. Champion Hill rewards squads, and Zombies’ entity pacts give players creepy co-op highs. PC plays epic games at 60 frames per second; Winlator on Android lets you play responsive portable mayhem with controller accuracy, and patches make sure the fun never stops.
