GameCentral doesn’t have a review of Call Of Duty: Vanguard today, but not most of its sites do it, but what has Activision got to hide? The new Call of Duty is coming out today and Activision wants not to reread it, the same as the usual way. There are still only 10 scores on Metacritic, but only one or two from the respective countries. We, like many of the stores we see, only got our review copy late last night and thus could only scratch the surface on the basis of the story campaign and multiplayer. As we approached the presentation, we came to play the multiplayer. In September, it was described as a game without an obvious hook and a game that doesn’t feel like it had found its own voice yet. That seems to follow the general consensus amongst fans, many of whom were disappointed by the Second World War setting by the date it was announced (and as it was before), although it was quickly leaked. It’s certainly an unexpected choice as far as the game has remained as far as we have seen. There is something really different with the setting, a thing like that that puts a lot of different locations in there. The first review which comes up in the country as soon as it’s published. However, Eurogamer says it will be fine for those waiting to return Modern Warfares. Gamespot give it a 7/10 rating and tells readers that you almost know what they’re getting. As of this time, IGN only has a review in progress and describes that game as an interactive, real cinematic and lackluster campaign. All that was probably exactly what you would have guessed, in light of the promotions and the previews so far. Even the most controversial Call Of Duty games, such as 2016s Infinite Warfare, are still competent to shooters, and there was clearly never any danger of Vanguard being an effective bad game. Exactly what is the obvious question, then is why would Activision like to review the game? The easiest answer to that is that a bad review might not be able to make the game at once. But bad ones would have much more impact, especially if it was published before launch. In that regard, the problem, where it seems more than unremarkable and overpriced, is clear in the face of such things as this: a marketing calculation that all publishers make makes it a simple calculation. Activision is certainly not the only company who deliberately withhold review copies until the last minute, but the reasons for doing so are complicated, many people taking pride in the game in general, but are desperate to keep them away from being allowed to play it until the day one patch is finished. In fact, while the more time the review embargo opens, the less confidence the publisher has in this game is spent. While if Vanguard was an unplayable, buggy mess before the applications of the day one patch, it hasn’t been evident from anything we saw of that. It’s clear that Activision is involved in various lawsuits due to its toxic work conditions, and will be able to do with the worst publicity, although despite the last few years – it was always late with review copies that would certainly be unlikely to be factored. Again try again, as soon as possible, to allow us to play the weekend, but we can’t say anything definitive about the game yet, unless it’s not that instant classic, or a complete disaster.
