Call of Duty: Vanguard throws logic overboard and introduces villains from past games and futuristic weapons

2022-08-18

If something must be recognized Activision is the tremendous persistence he had with Call of Duty: Vanguard. The game was not only destroyed by critics and players in its first few months, but it was also losing players over time. And even so, Sledgehammer Games Y Treyarch they never stopped adding more and more content in these 11 months of the game’s life. Remember that the life cycle of Call of Duty: Vanguard ends on October 28, with the premiere of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

The last season of Call of Duty: Vanguardie Season 5, will add several new operators, lots of new weapons, two maps, content for zombies mode and a season themed event for Call of Duty: Warzone. The season is called “The Last Battle”, and the main theme is the fight between heroes and villains, for which they have decided to bring villains from previous games in the saga, regardless of logic.

Four operators will be added, and they will make up a division called Task Force Tyrants. We will have Raúl Menéndez, a Nicaraguan politician and terrorist, the main antagonist of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. Khaled Al-Asad, Arab terrorist commander, main antagonist of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Gabriel T. Rorke, a former US Navy officer, main antagonist of Call of Duty: Ghosts. And finally, Seraph, soldier of the future member of the criminal organization known as The 54 Immortals, is a playable character from Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.

The company has not provided an explanation as to how these characters, who have died in the respective games in which they were villains, reached this point in the story, considering that none of them had even been born during the events of Call of Duty: Vanguard (between 1939 and 1945). The most sensible thing, in this case, is to completely ignore the history of Call of Duty and just shoot us with everyone.

During Season 5, five new weapons will be added. The RA 225 submachine gun, which has a high rate of fire and is very compact in combat. The Valois Revolver, a revolver that features a blade-shaped barrel for melee attacks. The BP50 assault rifles and the Lienna 57. And a futuristic experimental beam weapon, the EX1, which uses a battery to fire beams, needless to say, this weapon did not exist during WWII.

The maps Beheaded, a miniature post-apocalyptic version of Times Square, and Fortress, a medium-sized ship graveyard map, will be added. The zombie mode will receive its last chapter, complete with narrative missions and boss fights, this chapter is called “The Archon”, which will lead players to the final showdown against the demon Kortifex.

For Call of Duty: Warzone, Season 5 will include volcanic activity on the Caldera map, and an event called “Heroes vs. Villains”, which will put players into two teams, as they fight each other. A game mode called “Last Call” will also be added, which is actually a Search and Destroy in which two teams must place and disarm bombs throughout Caldera, respectively.
