Call of Duty: Vanguard is your Thanksgiving break must-play

Okay, so hear me out. I know you all already probably prestiged like 4x already and that is cool. I have been out of the Call of Duty game for a while now. The Warzone was fine for a minute until I hit a player with way too many headshots for him not to go down, but instead they hit me with one and I go down. Yeah, I just calmly (not at all) put PlayStation 5 controller down and turned the game off. Retired THE SAME DAY! 

Then here comes Call of Duty: Vanguard. Every time I try to get out they pull me back in! The return to World War II and the zombies is usually the formula to bring me back. It tears me up inside most times. Vanguard brings in new elements to make the campaign even better as well. Much like in The Last of Us Part II, the introduction of dogs brings a new unique challenge to the first person shooter franchise. Those things are annoying, but the challenge of them made me enjoy the experience that much more. 

The multiplayer is always going to be a draw. It’s Call of Duty, if you aren’t in the multiplayer or Warzone, why are you even here? I admit I am rusty, it showed. You all have no mercy. NONE! The new weapons, and dynamic maps made the gameplay more fun. Not much room for those campers which makes me happy. Those players make the gameplay dull. The maps force you to move and get in the mix. 

The main reason Vanguard brought me back into the Call of Duty franchise, the perks system. New perks, new weapons, and much better load outs. The double experience points this weekend helped me level up a bit faster. The realism of having to move left to right with the blurry picture enhanced the realism. As someone who serves even I was impressed by this concept as this is a real thing. Moving target to target with this level of realism definitely is something not to be ignored. 

Congratulations Activision, you won back this previously retired CoD player. Keep up the dope work! If you all want to catch me while I am still knocking this rust off on the PS5, hit me up, Gamertag: Proctorious or if you want to find me on the social media: IG: Rproctor23 Twitter: Zero2Hero I’ll see you all out there. Cop Call of Duty: Vanguard if you haven’t done so already. It’s a new experience with a similar WW2 vibe. Let me know what you think!
