There also appears to be a spawn issue, as I’d find myself face-to-face with the enemy split-seconds after returning to battle, leading to some frustrating insta-deaths. Unfortunately, this year’s maps are quite flat and uninspired, with too many choke points and blind corners. The campaign is fun to play through, being told in. The game is built on an updated version of the IW 8.0 engine which powered Modern Warfare and Warzone, and as a result, it looks fantastic. Multiplayer itself is functionally reliable (save for some opening weekend drama) and as popular as always. Despite Vanguard being recently released, it is already promising to be one of the best WW2-based Call of Duty games in the series. I’m sure hardcore multiplayer fans would much rather jump back into battle than deal with extra screens and their accompanying load-times. It also cynically serves as a pushy reminder that the loot box mechanic exists. The hub is a novel management idea but feels somewhat frivolous. The new “HQ” is a social hub where players gather to receive orders, adjust loadouts and open those all-too-controversial loot boxes.
This is hard to deny when all of WWII‘s new features are directly linked to its online modes. It’s commonly argued that Activision have given zero shits about their single-player content for years, knowing that multiplayer and Zombies are the real draw of the modern CoD experience.
