It feels like a step back after the bombast of 2019’s Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call Of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s campaign which felt like it was taking genuine risks, but it’s worth remembering that every game in the series has a three year development cycle, so things filter down over time. Vanguard delivers a lot of fun set-pieces, but without checking my notes, it’s a struggle to remember them. A bombastic opening level that sees you running along two moving trains – jumping from one to the other while blasting Nazis – was nearly entirely forgotten by the time I’d rolled the credits six hours later. Vanguard’s campaign does a lot right, but it’s often forgettable. These disparate elements are all their own thing, but they tie together into the big Call Of Duty burrito that you’re getting here.
