Fan reactions after Call of Duty Vanguard release

Call of Duty previously launched many famous fan-favorite titles like Modern Warfare, Black Ops, and Ghost. In 2017, the franchise took a step back in time and featured a COD game set during World War II.

Like. Did they really expect us to be excited after that. Then guns look trash. Hell the game play looked trash

Many fans are also worried about the game's size, as the required space for the game is massive.

Meanwhile, many fans are excited about playing the new Call of Duty: Vanguard because of the intriguing story.

I think this looks pretty damn cool. All 4 fronts? I am intrigued. Hope it runs on the MW2019 engine, though. The Cold War engine is a massive step backwards for this current generation

There are also concerns regarding the price tag of Call of Duty: Vanguard, as the game costs around $70. When buying a game that is expensive, many players take into account the longevity of gameplay before making a purchasing decision. The hefty price tag may make this decision harder for certain players on a budget.

I think Cold War will be my last Call of Duty. I enjoy the stories but the multiplayer is only good in like 40% of the games. The $70 price tag is also really annoying, I’d much rather see the game go free-to-play and have a longer lifespan per game like 2-3 years.

No gameplay has been revealed by Activision as of now, so only time can tell how well the game will perform after its release.
