In fact, the menu and gun customisation really feel like it’s a carbon copy of Modern Warfare remake’s system. There is nothing here that hasn’t been done before. Just don’t expect 2019's CoD: Modern Warfare remake-kinds of shock and twists. It’s not bad, but it’s also nothing much. If you are okay with spending that much money for a B- World War II style story, by all means, go ahead. The gunplay is undoubtedly top-notch Call of Duty-style, but that’s about it. It just didn’t have anything memorable for me to shout about that hasn’t been done before, except for a stealth sniper mission which I really loved, but that was the only highlight of the campaign for me. I managed to finish the campaign in 6 hours, and don’t get me wrong, the campaign is….all right. It’s boring, repetitive, and the story doesn’t allow me to care for the characters that much. Call of Duty: VanguardĬoD: Vanguard brings the franchise back to its World War II roots, much like CoD: World at War and CoD: World War II. Let’s do a quick review of each of these games. Out of CoD: Vanguard, Battlefield 2042 and Halo: Infinite, I can only recommend the last to be purchased if you really want to have a good time. And, naturally, I anticipated that I would have a lot to play and enjoy from each of these franchises' newest offerings.īoy, was I wrong and disappointed.
So, I got really excited earlier this year when I realised that CoD, Battlefield and Halo were going to release their latest iterations of their games this year.
I also have been playing a lot of Halo since its debut, and I thoroughly enjoyed a trip down memory lane when Microsoft decided to release the Master Chief Collection for the PC in 2019. I also have sunk in a lot of time in Battlefield 1942 and most of the iterations after that, with the exception of Battlefield 1 that was released in 2016. I’ve been playing CoD since CoD 3 and have been playing almost all the games since. I have been an avid Call of Duty (CoD), Battlefield and Halo fan throughout the years.
