VANGUARD is superior to COLD WAR

[Johnny Bifoutre]

Here is the thing : I am not a huge COD player. I only played Black OPS and classic MW1&2 back in the day.

I wanted to try out a next gen formula as discounts kicked in. And I have been hugely surprised by VANGUARD and very dissapointed by COLD WAR !!!

VANGUARD : a good game

A real " Call of Duty " game with no lame long time consuming high level progression to unlock basic cool weapons and upgrades !

Main feature of this game is a very efficient hip-firing : This is the first Call of Duty I have ever played with such a nice feature. A lots of fun and satisfaction.
There is a revamped classic Zombie mode : similar to old Black ops and World at War but you are free to choose your loadout + you can progress your weapons level here and upgrade your own level without doing PvP in multiplayer mode !!!
Nice operators and arsenal, Operators can be obtained fairly easily and you can play them anyway even if not unlocked yet ( random assignation of operator ).
Very good graphics ( outstanding actor motion capture ), and optimized. And it takes only 55gb of hard disk space ( COD Cold War uses 170gb !!! ) !
Compared to that game, COD " Cold war " is a lot inferior in every aspect : Graphics, gameplay (Pvp and Zombie), weaponery and operators. I asked a refund for that one as I did not enjoyed it at all.
But in Vanguard, even if you are low skilled, you will be able to put out surprising performance in the matchmakings you play and get a lot of satisfaction doing so. Every player gets enjoyment, from the best to the weaker !
The feedback of the weapons is so good and realistic, that you can do exactly what you want. The hip firing contributes a lot to it ! Unlike in Cold War...

Only complain I have is there are not enough zombies maps + a lot of recycling and there's too much cosmetics and weaponery elements that are " Out of context " of the game ( Non WWII weapons and operator cosmetics with Manga inspiration ) so it's kinda immersion breaking.
I got the game in discount for 30€, it totally worth it but not it's regular 60€ price though just like any Call of Duty as it's almost same for more than 15 years... Game is not huge enough compared to other games to justify a 60 € price.

COLD WAR : a bad game

Huge dissapointment here !!! : I asked a REFUND.

Poor graphics that makes sighting very complicated especially in a night Zombie map.
Settings do not save and I have to do the logging process every time I launch the game.
There's a bunch of fixing videos on Youtube to solve the issues, but I think it's scandalous considering the retail price !
Weapons do not respond correctly, they also have poor hip-firing capabilities for most.
A weak player will not be able to fight out enough and get any satisfaction, it will be more of a torture than an amusement
You have to spend countless hours to expect unlocking a weapon you like (and it's upgrades)... So you stuck up with lame weapons you don't like for a long time before you could enjoy anything.
Zombie mode does not look like the classic formula that everybody knows, goals are hardly reachable and looks like chores. The special zombies are OPed and hard to counter.

I do not understand the hype for this game, it's a lemon !!! On the other hand COD " Vanguard " is an outstanding title ! Everything puts together as expected and you really enjoy yourself. Even if you have weak skills, you'll be able to play it out against stronger players to your own surprise, I think it's because everything in VANGUARD is more balanced and well calibrated so everyone stands a chance.
One big thing I cannot understand are the graphics : It's supposed to be same engine as Vanguard, but even if settings are set to max it's hugely aliased and ennemies barely stand out from the decor ! I had the feeling that I was playing on a Playstation 4 !!! Even with HD textures turned on.


Does anyone had made the same conclusions as me ? I think my eye have better objectivity than any regular COD player as I am not a dedicated player of the license and a long way back returning player too.
People often says that these games are bad COD games, but to me I think VANGUARD is a good FPS even if it might not be a good COD.

Cold War might be, all and all the best COD ever.
