Me and my dad got this thinking it would have a good zombies mode :(
Rating this game on zombies alone I actually think it's a 0/10. there isn't a single saving grace within this entire mode. It felt so soulless and the entire time there was just this constant droning of player characters talking and lore trying to be dumped on me and the specialist gods or whatever saying shit every time you do anything and each objective has to be explained EVEN AFTER DOING THEM MULTIPLE TIMES.
Even without zombies the campaign lost my interest a few missions in and the multiplayer while actually really fun at first quickly got me burnet out after like 3 weeks. The FOMO the game had built into it made me feel like taking even a few day brake caused me to miss out on something and so after I took a long break I never wanted to get back on.

This is easily one of my least favorite games of all time. From an insanely boring campaign that treats war like it's fun and games to a dry multiplayer with horrible cosmetics to a zombies mode that only has 4 maps (3 of them being post launch maps) with them all being bad, this game is just awful and I would not recommend playing it.
Jesus Christ.
Call of Duty didn't need to do another WW2 game, we had 5 of them before this. That being said, Vanguard just plain fuckin' sucks.
Starting with campaign, it varies from boring to god-awful historical revisionism. None of the characters do anything interesting, all of the story is told through backstory that kinda connects? All they do is just show how the main characters became more like leaders but leave it at that. Plus, crazy saying that Polina single-handedly help win Stalingrad for the Red Army, like... that's plain not what happened. The villain, Hermann Freisinger, is you know... a Nazi. Pretty evil dude to say the least, but he wants to be Hitler but better? We all know Nazis are evil so if you know anything we know why we should be routing against him. All in all, its boring.
Multiplayer is... Multiplayer. It's just MW 2019's gameplay but you can have all 10 gunsmith attachments! ...Great stuff. All the new weapons and characters added didn't fucking fit into a WW2 COD game, like fucking Snoop Dog and Menendez? The F2000 and EM3? Do we not care about game premises anymore? Mid.
Zombies is HOT ASS, but did get kinda better. On launch, NO ROUND BASED ZOMBIES. What the fuck was the point of even having zombies without round based as even an option? Eventually with more updates, the newer maps had round based gameplay with some gameplay improvements, but fuck me, poor Treyarch got dragged in to throw together some half assed mode for Sledgehammer (WHO WEREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO MAKE COD THAT YEAR) to put into.
Closely tied with MWIII (2023) as the worst Call of Duty. Period.

Not my favourite Call of Duty campaign ever. Graphically it was stunning and the core gameplay is fun, but there weren’t any stand out missions that I’ll remember like there has been in the 2 most recent modern warfare campaigns and the story didn’t grab me either so ended up skipping the cut scenes. I must give a shout out to the WW2 guns though which were incredibly visceral to use with great sound design.
