The first season of Call of Duty: Vanguard will feature the return of a classic series map, this time with a Pacific theme. Note from the Editor: The California Department of Fair Employment and Housing has filed a complaint against Activision Blizzard, alleging that the firm has abused, discriminated against, and retaliated against its female employees. The charges have been refuted by Activision Blizzard. As additional material becomes available, the complete details of the Activision Blizzard lawsuit (content warning: rape, suicide, abuse, harassment) are being updated.
A fan-favourite map from the Call of Duty franchise’s history will apparently get a Pacific twist in a future Call of Duty: Vanguard map. The latest instalment in the first-person shooter franchise transports players to the various fronts of World War II and depicts the origins of modern Special Forces. Despite the fact that the legendary shooter brand has defined the genre in the past, Call of Duty: Vanguard saw a significant drop in UK sales when compared to other recent entries such as Black Ops Cold War.
Fans were eagerly anticipating the arrival of Call of Duty: Vanguard, which promised to represent an unprecedented advancement for the FPS game. Single-player campaigns, competitive multiplayer, and cooperative Zombies horde mode are the three foundations of the series, and Vanguard delivers on all three. The game also has a tie-in with Call of Duty: Warzone, with a brand-new map based on WWII’s Pacific Theater being added to the battle royale game. Unfortunately, upon release, the franchise’s newest addition was panned, with fans describing the campaign as unfinished and the multiplayer feature as a repeat of previous games. The fact that Call of Duty: Vanguard’s Secrets of the Pacific event was cancelled after an extremely problematic launch on November 24 further adds to the fan fury.
According to Charlie INTEL, a new Call of Duty: Vanguard map will be a Pacific-inspired revival of a classic series map. Two new weapons, a new playable Operator, new Zombies content, new multiplayer modes, and two new maps are among the free stuff that will be available on December 8, according to the game’s developers. One of these maps will reportedly be a new take on “a fan-favourite classic Call of Duty map,” though no further specifics on which map this could be are provided. When Call of Duty: Vanguard Season 1 launches on December 8, all of this content will be available.
Since its release, Call of Duty: Vanguard has received a lot of criticism, and the frustrations of fans may soon migrate to Warzone, the game’s free-to-play sister. Since its release, the battle royale shooter has been merged with more traditional series entries such as Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War, and its collaboration with Vanguard promises to be the most comprehensive yet. Fans are concerned that changes made to Warzone as a result of the merger with Vanguard, such as destructible surroundings, blind fire, and weapon proficiencies, may have a negative impact on the game.
The Call of Duty franchise has developed to become a premier first-person shooter staple since its inception in 2003. From World at War’s huge Castle to Black Ops’ constrained Nuketown, the franchise has seen a number of genuinely distinctive and popular multiplayer maps throughout its existence. While it is still unknown which classic map will be resurrected in Call of Duty: Vanguard, fans will be able to play it on December 8.
