Fans Agree That Call Of Duty: Vanguard Zombies Sucks
Vanguard has, with all things considered, had a pretty good launch so far. The game, which was developed for the most part from home as a result of the ongoing pandemic, has had a few chips in the paint revealed. Mainly though, fans are having fun with the game’s offering.
Those who have played the campaign have enjoyed it so far, and those who have glossed over it entirely for sake of the game’s multiplayer mode don’t have an awful lot to complain about. Knowing Call of Duty’s communities, this is an achievement that nobody could have expected.
But, there’s one element of the game that sticks out like a sore thumb, and it’s one that even long-time fans and defenders have conceded on.
Fans Think Vanguard Zombies Is Awful
The one over-arching consensus that complaining fans have come to (aside from some audio issues in multiplayer) is that the Zombies mode simply isn’t fun. We recently reported that the mode would launch unfinished, with the leading story mode and most missions completely missing from the game until season one of the game had passed - and it’s clear to see that it has seriously damaged the mode.
One extended post by user WwwWario lists all the things that they don’t like about the mode… and it’s incredibly extensive. Not only that, but fans are rallying up in the comments to agree with their point.
Reddit Users Rant Over "Garbage" Zombies Mode
"I’m very positive to Zombies and gaming in general", says WwwWario in their long Reddit post. "I never liked the whole 'hate' on games because they’re from this or that franchise. If I like a game, I like it, simple as that. And so I like AW Zombies, love BO4 zombies, love BO3 zombies - pretty much like ‘em all. But oh boy, Vanguard Zombies is not it. And I’m so sad to say it."
The list goes on to lambast the mode for its repetitive gameplay, limited weapons and quests, and missing minor features that once made Zombies so special. The list is scathing, and indicative that fans are both angry and disappointed in equal measure. The mode simply isn’t finished, and fans can tell.
Someone else added, "I also see potential but right now it is an absolute slog of a game I got up to round 20 and exfiled not because of time commitments but because I was bored, that’s a massive problem considering I have been playing zombies since WaW and would spend my weekends trying to beat EE’s".
Another mused, "It’s clearly Bc they were lazy and didn’t even care but if that’s the case why didn’t they just make round base and call it a day. None of these stupid objectives that people asked for".
Hopefully, the mode’s completion come the end of season one will make it more exciting to play, but for many, the damage seems to have been done. So long, Vanguard Zombies - we hardly knew ye.
