HMS Vanguard was a British quick battlewagon developed throughout the 2nd World War and commissioned after the war finished. She was the largest and fastest of the Royal Navy's battleships, the only ship of her class, and the last battleship to be built by the Royal Navy (RN).
The RN anticipated being surpassed by the combined German as well as Japanese battleships in the early 1940s, and also had actually as a result begun building the Lion-class battlewagons. Nonetheless, the lengthy building of the triple-16-inch turrets for the Lion-class would certainly postpone their completion till 1943 at the earliest. The British had sufficient 15-inch (381 mm) weapons as well as turrets in storage space to allow one ship of a customized Lion-class style with four twin-15-inch turrets to be completed quicker than the Lion-class vessels that had actually already been set.
Service Vanguard was begun and also quit numerous times during the war, and also her style was changed numerous times during her building and construction to show war experience. These standstills and also changes prevented her from being finished before the end of the war.
Vanguard's very first job after completing her sea trial at the end of 1946 was, early the next year, to convey King George VI and also his household on the initial Royal Trip of South Africa by a ruling queen. While refitting after her return, she was chosen for an additional Royal Trip of Australia and also New Zealand in 1948. This was cancelled because of King George's decreasing health as well as Vanguard briefly ended up being front runner of the Mediterranean Fleet in very early 1949. After her return house in mid-1949, she became front runner of the Residence Fleet Training Armada. Throughout her occupation, the battleship typically functioned as the flagship of any system to which she was appointed. During the very early 1950s, Vanguard was included in a variety of training workouts with NATO pressures. In 1953 she took part in Queen Elizabeth II's Coronation Testimonial. While she was reconditioning in 1955, the Admiralty introduced that the ship was mosting likely to be put into get upon conclusion of the work. Vanguard was cost scrap as well as was damaged up starting in 1960.
Meinmmo author Maik Schneider has been in view of Call of Duty for years and with some highs and low of the series. He says that the New Cod: Vanguard has the potential to become a milestone in the franchise and looking forward to the title because of the setting. Actually, especially because of the settings.
Already as the first rumors and Leaks to the new Call of Duty: Vanguard appeared on my radar and showed the Second World War as a setting, I realized: that gives trouble, many are not liked. Altkacken, Easy, boring - so it tanned from parts of the community after the first unofficial information.
Call of Duty originated as a World War Shooter and has always tried other settings over the years and even went far into the future. Not always the good thing came and such a great game as COD can not do any player right. But the setting as the great factor for the assessment of the next Cod title, I never felt as correct.
COD VANGUARD again in World War II - Hammer
In the case of Call of Duty: Vanguard I have to talk slightly. The setting is for me the fruity cherry on a tasty code cake. I stand on the historic flair, which also gives the smallest symbols, the most remote places a deep meaning. World War II shooters always create the strongest kind of immersion with me. The feeling of being able to enable themselves to immerse yourself in the game situation and to feel the flow.
That's why Battlefield 5 has been one of my shooter highlights in recent years and therefore I absolutely wanted, the COD: WWII becomes good, the COD from 2017. Both titles have disappointed - BF5, because it has not grown properly over time; WWII, because the initial technical problems destroyed my hype ... this damn headquarters.
With Vanguard, I finally get one of my favorite settings served in COD, which I feel just. But I also have to say that the setting for me at COD makes little reason for charm. It's that certain extra. That's what the next cod makes for me really well. But the setting was never a purchase reason for me.
There are also games for me, which convince due to the setting. As an example, I would like to call the survival game Grounded, which lets you as a mini-person in the garden. But with a cod? No, not really …
About the author Maik: Call of Duty has accompanied me my entire adult life and especially World At War from 2008 and Modern Warfare 2 from 2009 were preparing multiplayer shooters for me. Unfortunately, the Jetpack gameplay has kept me away from a few titles, although I'm a big fan of Science Fiction.
But I always looked at the campaign - earlier you could invite you a buddy with disc.
For Meinmmo, I have been accompanying the franchise since the end of 2019 and have been busy with the obese shooter series every day. And my feeling tells me - Vanguard skin properly.
COD is in focus, because of strong results
Much more significant than the setting I find the things at COD the things that happen around. Gameplay, planned content, the coop mode - I think that's much more important and here Vanguard could shine and even overlay everything that has been there.
Because the new Vanguard could become huge, has already 16 maps in 6v6 mode (predecessor Cold was only 8). Activision has many studios that work alone to COD or at least help. The success of the Battle Royale Warzone also has its share of it. Call of Duty has managed to stay relevant all year round, instead of just a few weeks or a maximum of months after the release of the annual premium title.
So the shooter franchise announced 100 million registered players for Warzone and over 400 million copies of all premium titles (via Callofduty.com). Thus, the common premium titles almost approach the value of the best-selling video game of all time - Tetris with nearly 500 million copies. Thereafter, Minecraft comes with around 200 million and GTA 5 with around 150 million (as of 03 August - via gamepro.de).
The trend up applies to the hard, economic numbers. In the report on the second billing quarter of Activision-Blizzard, it was said that the introduction of the free-to-play experiences was Warzone and Cod: Mobile the range and investment of players brought far across the level when it was the case before.
Activision also writes that in the 2nd billing quarter 2020, many times more sales of the current premium title was recorded - at a time when the current cod was barely relevant earlier. The Ingame sales were also compared to the year before Warzone - 2019 - a fourfold higher (via Investor.Activision.com).
Vanguard could be huge and fantastic
But why is the important for Vanguard? Well, since the releases of COD MW and COD Mobile in 2019 and Warzone in early 2020, the franchise is quasi exploded. With Black Ops 4 from 2018, COD was still a problem franchise, which may have his best days behind. But with the 3 titles mentioned came the turnaround and Call of Duty started fully. The studios have set many new employees, many activision studios work on Call of Duty and the feeling is wide that Publisher Activision wants to fully exploit the potential.
This could be Vanguard, Warzone and all fans of the franchise before a phase with an unrivaled amount of content. Warzone has shown in the first year that even little content is enough to make many players happy. Cold was also with little content, but could also fulfill the economic goals. Both titles were played a lot despite a lack of content and had high sales in the sale of Ingame objects.
Through the financial circumstances and through my daily work with the COD series, I think Activision is at a point where you ask yourself: What can Cod afford for us, if we actually bring so much content as it is Players wish? And right now is Vanguard.
- The new cod comes with so many 6VS6 maps at the start, as has not been a cod for 10 years more
- The zombie specialists from Treyarch develop leadsforth the zombie coop mode
- Warzone already has a much higher pace than in the first year and could also offer more
For me personally, Vanguard is oriented to modern Warfare in 2019 at the gameplay, which I enjoyed very much. Add to this the setting that the good prospects for the new cod the crown sets up.
All information about Vanguard & Warzone:
- Vanguard is the largest Call of Duty for 10 years - more than twice as many maps like Cold was
- Warzone finally brings with Cod Vanguard what all want - Anti-Cheat & New Map
- Call of Duty: Pre-order vanguard - editions, prices, pre-order bonuses, beta
But even for players who do not count to COD MW fans or celebrate World War Setting - if Call of Duty is your thing, you should keep an eye on Vanguard exactly. I really think that there is something big on us.
But I also like to hear your opinion in the comments on Meinmmo.
