Hey all, I went ahead and took a trip to New Zealand on my Xbox and started to play the new COD Vanguard because I’m a big COD Zombies fan.

the zombies mode is not worth your $60
Treyarch has been placed in a impossible situation where they had to rescue Cold War, then immediately start working on Zombies for this game and unfortunately it shows in what they presented.

(the game over all feels very basic and I think as of now there is no HD textures on the characters. Because compared to Cold War and MW2019 it looks last gen)

back on track…..the new zombie mode is different but lacks the heart of zombies. It’s a dumbed down version of Outbreak. From no colored camo’s when packing your weapon to little things like no extra 100 points when going prone in front of the perk machines/fountains. The things that make COD Zombies, especially Treyarch zombies is just missing. The one pro is there is a lot more dialogue. The after action report is very basic.

zombies and Vanguard in general needs a couple big patches and the devs time to breathe to make improvements.

I would wait a month or two before buying.
I expect people to go back to Cold War for their zombie fix.

Be all frank. The game itself is not even worth it. The Vangard is a pathetic attempt to make second war looks corny and "radical", the multiplayer is trying hard to be "awesome", while it screams desperadly like they want to be on par with Modern Warfare remake.

People need to do a favor and sticks with the old ones. Modern is a better and fun game while WW2 is a better take on the second war style of game.

Wow zombies looks barebones. I cannot believe they're passing this as a full release and charging people for it. Should've just focused on Warzone maps at this point.

Not to be that annoying drive-by poster, but is anyone surprised? Was anyone actually expecting this to be a good game? I'm not throwing shade here I'm genuinely curious. I ask because this is the first year where I personally haven't cared about a new CoD release nor have I seen much buzz online. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, I dunno.

I would have been happy with a zombie chronicles 2 based on cold wars engine and just not had any co-op in vanguard

The problem is that COD is finally evolving from the mediocre crap it's been for years now into full woke cringe territory. I wonder when they'll finally go into Fortnite rip-off mode and give it that generic, ugly cartoony look.
