Which is kind of a shame, because Gunsmith is at its best when it feels like an experimental gun factory. Existing Warzone players can slip into Vanguard like a worn glove with guns that behave more or less the same as what they're already shooting in Verdansk-the Thompson feels like your standard MP5, the PPSH shoots the same as the one that's already in Warzone, and the German STG is the flexible M4 analog. The standard multiplayer experience is so similar, actually, that Vanguard's WW2 setting disappears into the background. As someone who thought Modern Warfare reinvigorated multiplayer and thinks Cold War is the Call of Duty equivalent of flat soda, it's a step up from last year. Here's everything that's happened since the lawsuit went public.Įxcept, unlike Cold War, Vanguard plays almost exactly like Modern Warfare/Warzone so far-everything from the tactical sprint, gun ballistics, perks, and weapon mounting are direct carryovers from Infinity Ward's last CoD-which makes sense, considering Vanguard runs on an updated version of the same engine.

This excludes quite a few portable and mobile games, including what is undoubtedly the worst sequel in franchise history. With several different developers working on entries set in different time periods, it's hard to express what binds the series other than Activision's logo. Despite that, fans looking through the many entries of the series can easily tell when Call of Duty is firing on all cylinders and when it takes the boots off the ground.īecause of the enormity of the series, this ranking will focus on the mainline entries and its console-exclusive shooters. Bursting onto the scene in 2003 with the PC-centric shooter that launched a thousand games based in World War 2, Call of Duty has been everywhere from the battlefields of Normandy to outer space and back again. The recent dawn of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 marks the fourth console generation to feature Activision's Call of Dutyas a headline-grabbing franchise.
