Call of Duty: Vanguard | Story Trailer

Will be interesting to see how close they get to the CGI scenes when they ditch the old consoles.
Weird, Battlefield V was lambasted and mocked for being alternate WW2 and DICE was open about it, now COD is doing it and I'm seeing nothing but positive comments. It's so strange seeing this on and off trend is good/bad narrative.
Are you legitimately incapable of seeing the enormous difference between the 2?
There's nothing weird, two totally different situations
Vanguard plot and characters all fit very well with WW2 honestly
What is there to say?
Both games have British soldiers fighting for the S.O.E in Africa. People complained about the setting for BFV.
This game has a Female Russian Sniper, BFV has a Female Norwegian fighter which was a real thing . People complained about it
This game has characters based on historical soldiers, BFV took nods from real soldiers. People complained about it.
This game has red-cordial and sugar skins for guns, BFV had a few crazy skins also. People complained about it.
BFV has the Pacific/Japanese conflict. This game has the Pacific/Japanese conflict. People liked the setting and said this is what it should have been in the first place/ "Familiar/iconic places" or whatever.
BFV did not have Russia, but there were mined files saying Russia was coming as a faction.
If anything there are similarities all over the place.
Edit : Fuck me, both BFVs and COD:Vs British S.O.E soldiers are explosives experts.

The core fan base and their expectations for the two series is completely different, I'm sure you know that. Battlefield has allways been the more realistic and hardcore one, COD is the lighter, more arcadey and over the top series.
Battlefield has always been the more hardcore and realistic one? Like that time they had UFOs and Jetpacks?
And Mechs?
And Electronic disruptor weapons in WW2?
And futuristic railguns in modern times?
And finally the god damn Rendezook.
Battlefield and COD are not the same thing, fanbase are different and also the art-styles are completely different
Are you really comparing this
With this
Come on
I dont see outlandish prosthetics and colorful, fornite style body art/tattoos like in the BFV reveal trailer. This is also a fictional post WW2 alternate reality. BFV was straight up WW2. I dont know about that female Norwegian but a quick google says she was a nurse. Post above me adds the photographic comparisons. You sound ridiculous making this argument.
Art style has nothing to do with subjective content. You can have 2 different games covering the same war such as Valiant Hearts and BF1.
I did not even bring up art style, I brought up content.
People were mad because the game looked like a Fortnite circus with crazy prosthetics and colorful body art/tattoos in the reveal trailer, hence the art style of the game is very important for contest. Also BFV reveal trailer was a shitshow of "rambo-like" action by female soldiers with robotic arms, a bit different from what Polina Petrova is in Vanguard
If you watch Vanguard story trailer and campaign reveal trailer, you don't have anything like that at all
Oh, you mean this hinged prosthetic arm that existed at the time? This was made during WW2.
And the warpaint used by the Filthy 13?
Warpaint was common.
If I were to speculate i'd say part of it is because CoD introduced playable female characters into the multiplayer with Ghosts and into the campaign with Black Ops 3. This isn't even the first WWII CoD game to feature a playable female character. CoD WWII had Rousseau. So it's just been part of the series for years now and there's no reason for people to have expectations for that to be any different with this one.

You mean those prosthetics that were used for injured soldiers who would no longer be in frontline combat? Or do you actually believe there were handicapped women with fake arms and garish eye makeup running around the battlefield hitting people with barbwire wrapped bats??Oh, you mean this hinged prosthetic arm that existed at the time? This was made during WW2.
And the warpaint used by the Filthy 13?
Again, that rarely used warpaint doesnt at all resemble what was in BFV trailer. Try engaging your logical brain and not your desire to find social injustice everywhere.
Yeah, I'm sure that battlefields were FULL of soldiers with prosthetics arms fighting like Rambo lmaoOh, you mean this hinged prosthetic arm that existed at the time? This was made during WW2.
Honestly, I'm not even interested in continuing this discussion about a game reveal that happened three years ago. This thread is for Vanguard's story trailer so I'll keep commenting on that

Oh you mean like this Cricket bat used as a weapon?
But you say nothing when COD:WW2 has a bat full of nails?
COD = Good! Can get away with anything because favouritism!
BFV = BAAAAD! Because things in trailer that never made it into the game!
Also remember when Troops played Atari games on the Beach in WW2?
But that doesn't cater to your narrative does it?
Or Virginia Hall who went on missions with a prosthetic leg?
Or this woman done up to fight?
You a GAF troll?
Edit - Yep, you are.
Ah right, thanks for this level headed response. Makes some sense.

Modern Warfare engine is a beast, can't wait to see what it will look like when they transition to next-gen only development (hopefully next year with MWII)

To be fair.
Once Season 1 launches of Vanguard you are going to start seeing skins that look like this:
CoD's only really have "realistic" skins exclusively for a tiny little bit before they go balls to the wall crazy.
COD:WW2 had this:
But facepaint is bad right?
This is precisely what I was trying to say. It's kind of like how Mario games get a free pass from the whole "Free the princess" narrative, but other games get piled on for it. It's this weird "Some games are allowed to get away with things, but others can't" mentality I find weird, like some strange favouritism.
I almost forgot, COD:WW2 had Atari 2600 consoles on the beaches of Normandy, trying to remember when WW2 troops played video games in WW2.

Ultimately I'm going to go out on a limb that most of the people who were getting up and angry about Battlefield 5 were not people also playing CoD which had long since had crazy skins.
BFV really wasn't anything crazy compared to what was releasing around it.
Looks great. Love a good 5-6hr CoD single player binge.
I'm still most interested in how they will handle zombie mode. Outbreak in Cold War was an absolute game changer and the best thing CoD has ever brought to the table IMO. If I don't get something comparable, I'm not sure how long Vanguard will keep my attention.

I'm quite keen to try out Cold War just for its SP. I got a boxed copy of the Legacy Edition of Infinite Warfare for the MW remake back in day (was a steal at ÂŁ10 as well), and I wound up enjoying Infinite Warfare's campaign as much as anything else.
I liked it but at this point I think they are trying a bit too hard with the Black Ops formula.
I'm also curious of Vanguard's campaign but I'm not paying 60 bucks for a 6 hour campaign.
YupTo be fair.

It's almost like Call of Duty and Battlefield have two completely different audiences...
...Maybe EA should get the memo and get over their one-way "rivalry" with CoD and work on a Battlefield game for the Battlefield audience before they lose all of us to Squad and Hell Let Loose.

And I'm all for it.
God I loved those WWII skins. I hope they bring some back.
Especially when Sledgehammer had a American/Russian actor portray IIona in advance warfare.
Love CoD campaigns but this looks like the most generic disjointed one yet to me. Usually the trailers pull me around and get me hyped but I'm just not at all feeling it this year. I'd be happy to be wrong but everything about this year just feels like it's gearing up to be the worst CoD in a long time.
Multiplayer will be much better than Cold War at least(besides the boring WW2 theme)
We were the tip of the spear. We...were the vanguard.
Digital preorders get instant access to the night raid mastercraft and Operator Arthur Kingsley!

I feel like I'm in the minority, but Cold War was my favorite COD mp in years. I couldn't stand the Vanguard beta.
I think that's a pretty good trailer, it makes me almost forget the campaign will be pretty short and forgettable.
Major eye roll at people trying to drag BF V into this to prove a point. Go watch that reveal trailer again for that game, there's a segment where the player is repeatedly going supine and getting back up on a hill like 3-4 times in quick succession, firing three bullets from an LMG before reloading it...it's just nonsense

Because it's corny as hell. Might as well cast Troy Baker as as japanese general and Nolan North as a fighter in the West African Division. These thick, faked accents imitating other cultures are ridicolous either way, but doubly so coming from voices that are so recognizable. If you want an english speaking russian, cast an english speaking russian.
And yes, the same goes for movies, because I'm guessing that would be the reply to this^^

There are elements about it in place where I can definitely say it had potential,
like I honestly prefer what it was going for over say MW19's mp
but personally Treyarch devs let it down.
Refusing to work on spawns after promising further work on them in like last Nov-Dec*
+ their general love of revenge spawns just ruin their games
Their new weapon = super op till the next new weapon replaces it mentality and them being hard pressed to balance them before then
lastly them bringing old maps back without remotely being themed to the setting just kills me and feels lazy especially when that previously wasn't the case.
*there is literally some kind of issue in the code where when you throw a care package it acts as an enemy tactical deployment,
Can have your entire team around you but you throw it out and enemies will start popping in feet away.
