An alternative reality game (ARG) is an interactive networked story that utilizes the real world as a system and also employs transmedia narration to supply a tale that may be changed by gamers' suggestions or actions. The form is specified by intense player involvement with a tale that occurs in genuine time as well as progresses according to gamers' responses. Subsequently, it is shaped by personalities that are actively regulated by the video game's designers, in contrast to being controlled by an AI as in a computer system or console computer game. Gamers connect straight with personalities in the video game, resolve plot-based obstacles and also puzzles, and also team up as a community to examine the tale and coordinate real-life and also on-line tasks. ARGs normally use multimedia, such as telephones, e-mail, and mail but rely upon the Internet as the central binding tool. ARGs have a tendency to be free to play, with costs soaked up either with sustaining products (e.g. collectible challenge cards fund Perplex City) or via marketing connections with existing items (as an example, I Love Bees was a promo for Halo 2, and the Lost Experience as well as Discover 815 advertised the television program Shed). Pay-to-play designs exist too. Later on games in the category have actually shown an increasing amount of trial and error with brand-new models as well as sub-genres.
It ghosts for months through the rumor bed and is now finally fixed. Activision and Sledgehammer Games have officially revealed Call of Duty Vanguard and finally confirmed what the insider sparrows have been whistling from the social media roofs for some time: because Call of Duty returns after four years (COD: WW2 came in 2017) once again Second World War Setting back.
campaign was already able to collect the first information about the campaign of the game on a virtual press briefing before the official announcement. Here you will find everything you need to know about the solo part of Call of Duty Vanguard.
The most important facts about the Vanguard campaign
- Second World War: Return to the setting in which the series started starting
- Four Great Locations: West Front, Ostfront, North Africa and Pacific should provide variety
- Focus on characters: Overall, there are four main characters that you play in the course of the campaign
- Improved gunplay: Weapons should feel heavy and powerful as in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- Aim in the campaign: Prevention of Project Phoenix, with which the Nazis wants to go around the rudder towards the end of the war again
- Cinematic staging: Thanks to the optimized modern warfare engine, light and particle effects look much better.
The release of Call of Duty Vanguard is also fixed: The shooter appears on 5 . November 2021 for PS5, Xbox Series X / S, PS4, Xbox One and the PC.
And here is the Annunting Trailer:
The story: fictitious, but based on history
According to Game Director Josh Bridge, Sledgehammer wanted to do with Vanguard in the for many right-sided second World War Setting something else. While in COD: WW2 told the story of a solid unity, Vanguard is about four characters, which first fight at different fronts, so much like in the first cods, which is why Vanguard returns to his roots in this regard.
But then, the four are together to prevent the mysterious project Phoenix to prevent, under the direction of the Grounded Antagonist Heinrich Freisinger.
Important: Call of Duty Vanguard tells a purely fictitious story in a historical setting, many of the characters are based on real people. The general war subject should be encountered respectful, but thus staged that it appeals to the widest possible audience.
The four playable characters in which you slip throughout the campaign are:
- Arthur Kingsley: The later leader of the Squad lands as a member of the 9th British parachute battalion during Operation Tonga in Normandy and first fights at the Western Front.
- Polina Petrova: The Russian arming guard is a name in Stalingrad through numerous shots a name and specializes in the ranged fight.
- Wade Jackson: The member of the American Squadron Six is stationed in the Pacific and is involved in air battles, among other things.
- Lucas Briggs: The Australian fights in North Africa against the tank divisions of the German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.
The Campaign of Vanguard is said to be cod-typically strictly linear, branches and large choices in the missions are not there. According to the developers, in the course of the game, we should also learn more about the characters, about the past of Polina Petrova, in which they initially worked as a nurse. Whether the campaign may ultimately follow, of course, remains to be seen.
The gameplay: with more force
There should probably be surprised that the focus of Call of Duty Vanguard will be on shootings. But that it is probably not too dull shooting bodies, we were already able to recognize a section of a France mission shown at the press event. Arthur Kingsley jumps over the Normandy at night here, but loses his weapon and therefore must first sneak over a field and by a dense forest in which a lot of German soldiers patrol. Then it comes to an intensively staged shooting change in a farmhouse.
Already here it becomes clear that script sequences will be an integral part of the gameplay again, but they are now almost a trademark of the series anyway. In any case, it is pleasing that the gunplay should be oriented more to modern warfare.
Say: The numerous historical weapons such as MP 40, M1 Garand and Co. are said to feel much more powerful and scattering with better animations, more details (smoke swaths, etc.) and better hit feedback, and it will be possible again to hang up the weapons on objects. Very nice, because that was in the last year at Black Ops: Cold was one of our criticisms.
This is supported by a clearly sophisticated damage model and the possibility to be careful again around corners. Environmental objects should now react much more realistic to fire, remain permanently visible to destructions such as worsening in doors or splintered wood. In the gameplay neckline, this is already similar to see how the hit feedback at amusements.
Each character should also bring own gameplay features , but details have not been mentioned. The first trailer already suggests what will expect us playfully:
- Airplane battles
- Sections in the tank
- Sniper passages
- House
And when we think about the surprisingly unusual Paris mission with Gerda Schneider from WW2, it is well possible that SLEDShammer also has one or the other COD-untypical section in the sleeve.
The technique: chic battlefields
Vanguard runs on the modified COD engine, which used Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but builds you in some places. For example, there are significantly more particle and lighting effects, which led to an enormous dense atmosphere at least in the campaign cutout we have seen.
For example, the cones of the flashlights brighten the night, light flashes of a firing flak twitching between the trees of the forest, by the Arthur Kingsley sneaking and with the shootings cruises properly material through the area. In addition, we were already very plastic textures such as sludge to see, as well as very realistic hundred fire and volumetric smoke, which the studio has also improved for Vanguard.
We have also been confirmed that Call of Duty Vanguard supported both the PS5 and the Xbox Series X / S 3D audio, on the Sony console, there is also support for the dualSense features, including adaptive trigger resistance and more .
What about Last Gen? Vanguard also appears for PS4 and Xbox One and during the questioners with the developers was said that these versions will get optical adjustments. Details were not mentioned, but we assume that the effects and degree of detail should be returned to the burden of gene consoles. Because: On all systems there is a clear goal, namely liquid 60 frames per second.
And what about the multiplayer?
Of course, there is that too. Everything important about the innovations, zombies and Warzone read in our separate article:

Assessment of the editors
Tobias Veltin @Frischerveltin
Call of Duty Vanguard is a big déjà-Vu - at least for me so far. Because I still have in mind that Sledhammer already talked about Call of Duty: WW2 from a new experience and also made quite great promises otherwise. The finished game could fortunately comply with the majority of it, even if much was very routinely felt. I appreciate the Vanguard campaign, too, there will probably be many well-known elements that are known for WW2 game veterans.
Varied way, however, the whole thing is likely to become in any case, which has proven Sledgehammer last just with WW2. And the different scenarios like Ostfront and Pacific also give hope that visually not everything sinks in a gray mud. I'm still skeptical at the characters. The fundamental division to four of them is commendable, but I still doubt whether they actually feel different in the finished game.
In terms of technology and immersion, however, we can expect a lot in any case, I found the separately stately pretty impressive despite the known scenario, and I am also very happy about the powerful gunplay decision. All in all, after the first impressions, I expect a solid COD campaign, but that's what the potential brings me to surprise me.
What do you say about the first information about Call of Duty Vanguard and the return to WW2-Setting?
