Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies & Campaign | New Gameplay Today

It’s that time once again. The Call of Duty: Call of Duty Series is getting a new entry, which brings up familiar questions about whether fans should purchase the latest installment in the series. This week’s New Gameplay Today episode focuses on Call of Duty: Vanguard’s campaign and zombie modes.

Wes LeBlanc and Dan Tack join Alex Stadnik for NGT number 1. Here, we are given a glimpse into the future of zombie-slaying. Vanguard takes a different approach instead of the classic round-based method that put the series on the map. Teams of four begin in a hub world and choose what objective-based missions they want to embark on. Each round was exciting, varied, and fought for survival. After you win the match you go back to the hub world where you’ll have to again defend your safety from the evil undead Nazis. The package’s highlights have been these changes and a host of intelligent modifications.

However, the same cannot be said for the campaign. This second New Gameplay Today features the same crew, who discuss the lows and highs of Call of Duty’s most recent campaign. Although the graphics are stunning, Vanguard is filled with Michael Bay references. There are many aspects we enjoyed, but the story is often boring. This game is not helping its cause by allowing us to feel the “been here, done that”, feeling throughout many of the shooting galleries.

You enjoyed our looks at Vanguard’s campaign, zombie, and multiplayer modes. Keep an eye on our reviews of Call of Duty 2 and the latest Call of Duty entry!
