It’s November, so it’s time for a new Call of Duty. And this year, Call of Duty: Vanguard returns the series to its most familiar setting: World War II. This time the single-player campaign will be focused on four characters from around the world: Sgt. Arthur Kingsley of Britain’s 9th Parachute Battalion, Lt. Polina Petrova of the Soviet 138th Rifle Division, Captain Wade Jackson of the US Navy’s Scouting Squadron Six, and Second Lieutenant Lucas Riggs of Australia’s 20th Battalion. We’re told these are based on real soldiers of the war who were pivotal in decisive battles. This take on WWII will be more realistic and grounded, though that doesn’t mean there won’t be zombies. It’s the multiplayer that has always been the star attraction of CoD. Vanguard is launching with 20 maps to start with, as well as a new mode called Champion Hill which is a kind of cross between battle royale and Gunfight. A “Warzone Pacific” map is on the way that will integrate with COD Warzone

CEO Bobby Kotick’s response was typically Koticky (read: tone-deaf, arrogant and avoiding the issue), prompting Activision’s employees to stage a massive walk-out. It’s in this firestorm that Activision has been forced to reveal its next Call of Duty. So, uh….how is it? Call of Duty: Vanguard returns the CoD series to its most familiar setting: World War II. There was once a time when WWII was the only setting for a military shooter you could buy, so usually whenever they attempt it these days, they have to throw in a new twist. This time, the single-player campaign will be focused on four characters from around the world: Sgt. Arthur Kingsley of Britain’s 9th Parachute Battalion, Lt.
