UPDATE: For those Sledgehammer employees I mean, totally real players whose Google account is two months old and Vanguard is the only review they ever posted (totally not suspicious) this is for you. I purchased this game the first week of December for PC. I subsequently got a refund three days later because according to you, I must be a masochist who avoids pleasure at all costs. It was so good I couldn’t bare the burden of enjoying it anymore, you caught me, everyone who disagrees with you has an agenda because the worst selling CoD of all time is actually the best CoD ever! Copium. Pros: 1. ⁠I love not being able to see the enemies clearly from midrange as they’re immersed in a textureless blur that blends into the background. I’ve found what I’ve been missing is shooting at floating name tags most of the time. Putting a dot over a username is extremely engaging gameplay. 2. ⁠The TTK is fantastic.As you know, FPSs are more about who sees who first and not aim, strafing, weapon setup, taking evasive actions… The mechanic where whoever sees the other person first wins 9/10 times is the definition of fantastic game balance. I don’t want to think about strategy or weapon builds, I just want to play spotting simulator and one-two shot the first name tag I see on my screen. I hope they lower the TTK tbh, it would be great if ADSing an enemy just killed them, they’re already dead if you have them in your scope so they can simplify things by getting rid of the ammo mechanic. 3. ⁠Spawns, wow, ahead of it’s time, gone are the boring old days of spawning in a location outside of immediate enemy fire, I have ADHD so if I’m not pew pewing 98% of the time I get bored. Enter the spawning logic, nothing says skill-based gameplay like spawning in front of an enemy team with your back turned. What’s better is with the low TTK, you don’t even have time to turn around, it’s like a coin toss, no skill required it’s fantastic! Summary: If you like 800 kill games in ten minutes in a maps that smash you together and reward camping, you will LOVE Vanguard! Just find a spot, camp there, and shoot at the blurry and barely discernible pixel noise underneath the name tags. Vanguard is an absolute masterpiece and anyone who says otherwise just doesn’t respect Call Of Duty’s heritage.. or something. You want to camp and put red markers over name tags that vanish, YOU LOVE the TTK, you need to buy this game so developers know we want MORE! Criticisms: I think TTK needs a buff, 4 nanoseconds almost gives players time to react and that’s not fair, think bird spotting simulator as opposed to FPS, the simple yellow 12 point text with no accompanying sound that indicates a kill is too flashy, can you make it smaller, in black, and put it at the bottom of the screen like a credit card disclosure? The voting system is too quick, please add a longer timer so players can stare at it for longer and really take in the magnitude of accomplishments before them like “time near enemy” or “time near allies”, when I don’t have a lot of time to game it’s really frustrating getting right back into a lobby and queueing up for the next match faster than two minutes.
