Pick up Call of Duty: Vanguard today!!!

• Buy the game for Xbox
• Buy the game for PS5

This is not the first and won’t be the last time Activision will give free access to Vanguard this year with a two week long free period that already happened in April. Vanguard has not been a success by any means, with poor reception from players, a decrease in sales by 40% in comparison to the previous title Black Ops Cold War and a pure lack of excitement for another World War II shooter. Despite still being one of the best selling games of 2021, Call of Duty: Vanguard posted the worst franchise launch since 2007 for the FPS series in some regions, the series had been on an upwards trajectory with the huge release of 2019’s Modern Warfare, followed by the battle royale Warzone. However, Vanguard appears to have not “clicked” in terms of sales compared to other recent launches. So it is understandable that Activision are starting to push towards promoting the next release in the Call of Duty series Modern Warfare 2 with possible trailers for the upcoming game appearing very soon, want to know more about it read one of our other articles about Modern Warfare 2 here!

The post COD Vanguard Multiplayer is free for a week! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Activision’s biggest franchise is already garnering hype as they return to the Modern Warfare series with the supposed date for their trailer, alpha test and possible release date being leaked!

Well, it’s the time of year again! the Call of Duty hype train arrives with many ready for a big improvement after the failures of the two previous titles, Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard. As many have fallen out of favour with the FPS genre Activision and Infinity Ward are hoping to turn their fortunes around with the sequel to the highly successful Modern Warfare (released in 2019).

On April 28th, Infinity Ward revealed to the world the logo for the upcoming title and had fans wanting more information.

They’re reports suggesting that some snippets and teasers of the game could be revealed as soon as the 2nd June, this has surprised many because fans thought they would expect to wait until Summer Game Fest 2022 which starts the following week (10th June) for all the information. Following the teasers a suspected official reveal trailer will arrive on the 8th June with huge details on the games campaign being revealed at the Summer Game Fest. Great news for fans as we are not that far away from news coming our way.

As we power through the summer of games being revealed and release dates being pushed back, game developers will need you to turn that console on and test their games out for them with public Alpha and Beta tests. The Call of Duty Franchise have always had tests to make sure their game is full functioning before release, rumours are that a possible Alpha test for Modern Warfare 2 could be dropping mid-August. For the last 5 years PlayStation have had a contract with Activision where the platform will get new and exclusive content before the competitors and that will continue up until 2023, so if you are on the PlayStation 5 you could get your hands on Modern Warfare 2 before anyone else. But for Xbox gamers don’t be down because you will also get your hands on the tests possibly weeks after Sony players and with Microsoft’s gigantic acquisition of Activision for $68 million, Call of Duty’s exclusivity contract will probably be on the Xbox platform after 2023.

The reported release date for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is October 2022.

No news if Infinity Ward will continue to release their games on the old generation consoles with Xbox One and PS4 players increasingly worried on the silence from Activision’s side of things. Lastly, the big blockbuster game mode Warzone that kept us all enthralled through the last couple of years could be getting a sequel following the games release. The latest rumour is that Warzone 2 could be releasing late 2022 or most likely early 2023.

The post Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Reveal Date Reportedly Leaked! first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Call Of Duty Vanguard might see the introduction of two iconic movie characters, according to industry insider Tom Henderson. Who could these mysterious entries be, we hear you ask? Well none other than Captain Steve Rogers (AKA Captain America) as well as WW2’s favourite archaeologist Indiana Jones. You can’t get much bigger than these two.

Henderson tweeted today that Activision and Disney have been in talks about a “potential partnership opportunity” which will see our favourite characters make crossovers into the iconic shooter franchise. Additionally, he went on to send out a string of code from CoDPersues. For those unfamiliar with the name, they regularly post Call of Duty leaks which have more often than not correct. It seems that there will be an in-game event which will introduce the Marvel and Lucasfilm heroes, which we just cannot wait for.

Both Captain America and Indiana Jones seem to be making their way to #Vanguard in the near future.

Both Captain America and Indiana Jones would certainly match the timeline of WW2 which means no anachronisms will be found. In their respective universes,  adventurer Jones fought the Nazis throughout the 1930’s and Captain America is a World War II Veteran. Hopefully we will see the WW2 version of Cap like in his 2011 film, which will fit the mood and aesthetic of Vanguard. Similarly, we’d love to see Indiana Jones just as the way he’s always been portrayed- as an absolute legend. Whipping Nazis and throwing Vibranium shields at Nazi’s is something we can really get behind.

However, these two announcements really got us thinking. Who exactly is the all-time best character to appear in the Call Of Duty Franchise? There’s definitely been plenty of shouts, so check out our top five ranking below. Before that though, make sure to watch the Call Of Duty Vanguard trailer, and pick up a copy right here! You won’t regret it.

Top Five Call Of Duty Characters Of All Time

Here’s our list of our favourite Call of Duty characters! It was hard work but we’ve managed to nail it down to five. Check them out below:

5.-Viktor Reznov

Games: World at War, Black Ops, Black Ops II

Arguably the most selfless character on the list, Viktor was always there when people needed him most. His bonds with Dimitri Petrenko and Alex Mason make up much of the first two games in the Black Ops story, and his personality shines throughout. He was a key figure in establishing the connection between WAW and the Black Ops games, and we wouldn’t of changed that for anything.

4.-Gaz

Game: Modern Warfare

Lieutenant Gaz. What a man. Despite appearing in just two games, Gaz has remained a popular member of the SAS forces within the games. Luckily for us, we see a much more detailed and emotional character in Modern Warfare 2019 which makes him vastly more three dimensional. This adds a lot of empathy to his story which is why when he becomes a playable character we’re able to relate with him just that bit more.

3.-Ghost

Game: Modern Warfare 2

He gives us the most heartbreaking death in the franchise. Not much else needs to be said. R.I.P to such an iconic character. Man, we hate Shepherd.

2.-Captain Price

Games: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3, Modern Warfare 2019

If you looked up leader in the dictionary, a picture of this man with his iconic cigar would appear.  We’d follow Captain Price into any battle. A stalwart throughout the Modern Warfare franchise, he always adds witty comments to make our playing experience that much better and has some of the most iconic lines in the franchise. Harsh but brave, there really was no-one better to be fighting under.

1.- Captain “Soap” Mactavish

Games: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3

Captain MacTavish. Soap. Whatever you prefer to call him, he is arguably one of the greatest video game characters of all time. His trilogy of games stand the test of time as being some of the best FPS shooters ever to exist. Not much more needs to be said for this man, except the mention of his name has got everyone buzzing for the Modern Warfare 2019 sequel.

Anyone you think should’ve made it? Drop a comment in the box below! Firstly though, check out this article here as to why Vanguard has got into some controversy recently.

The post Vanguard To Feature Two Iconic Film Characters first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Zombies has become an iconic game mode for the Call of Duty franchise, being introduced way back in CoD: World At War. While Vanguard has circled back to its roots in historical warfare, the new Zombies mode has done just the opposite and switched up the formula. Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies will undoubtedly be intriguing, since it represents a significant departure from the mode’s typical approach.

Der Anfang, the game’s first map, will not be the usual round-based Survival map we are used to. Instead, it will be like Outbreak in that there will be objectives to fulfil in different zones, but without the vehicles and large-scale emphasis. However, this is not the only new feature being added.

What Is the Altar of Covenants in Zombies?

In addition to cosmetic redesigns for perks in Call of Duty: Vanguard, players will be able to get unique bonuses via a new system. The boosts will be placed on top of the perks that players may purchase in each round. The concept also works like upgrades in a roguelike, with each match introducing new improvements and ensuring a diverse range of builds. This might offer a lot of replayability to Der Anfang, making each match more varied and engaging.

These upgrades are controlled through the Alter of Covenants. This is a special upgrade station that will be unlocked halfway through a round of Der Anfang. After completing each mission, players will return to the Stalingrad central area, which has grown. Each new location will enable players to a

cquire additional Zombies perks and upgrades, with the Altar being one of the newly unlocked parts. Players will require a specific currency to engage with it.

The game introduces a new currency to purchase these upgrades. Upgrades for the Altar of Covenants are acquired using Sacrificial Hearts, a currency earned by completing objectives. After leaving Shi No Numa or Hotel Royal, players will have to visit this Altar to obtain a new upgrade. The sequence of these improvements will vary from game to game, and they will also vary when players return to the Altar after completing an objective.

This is a big step forward for Call of Duty Zombies. In previous Zombies maps, matches would feel quite the same as there would be an optimum set-up everyone would aim for.  You build the Wonder Weapon, purchase all the bonuses, and get all your upgrades. You would then begin training or camping in the same regions until you died or chose to quit.

However, with the Altar of Covenants, each match should seem unique. Players may end up with a build that allows them to camp exceptionally well, dictating how they should play the rest of the match. Another build may increase training while weakening camping, while a third could make someone a fantastic medic.

Players may end up with a build that allows them to camp exceptionally well, dictating how they should play the rest of the match. Another build may increase training while weakening camping, while a third could make someone a fantastic medic. This method has a lot of promise, as it might push players to want “one more run” like with a roguelike game.

Upgrades That Have Been Revealed for Zombies from the Altar of Covenants

So far, players have just a vague sense of what upgrades will be available in Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies. There are, however, a few that have been uncovered, and they appear to be useful. These modifications are as follows:

Ammo Gremlin: Stowed weapons refill ammo from the stock quickly. This is just like the Modifier from the Bandolier Bandit perk seen in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Zombies.

Brain Rot: Again, this works just like the ammo mod, with players turning undead enemies into allies.

Bloodlust: Melee attacks will do more damage with this buff, and they will also heal the player.

Cryofreeze: Just like the ammo mod from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies, this has a chance to freeze and slow enemies.

Dead Accurate: Hitting multiple shots on the same enemy will do more damage, something that could be great for handling the machine gun-wielding mini bosses.

Death Below: Critical kills return a bullet to the clip. This could essentially give players infinite ammo with Sniper Rifles.

Resurrectionist: This lets players auto revive allies by standing near them, and they will revive much quicker. This could be hugely beneficial in co-op play.

Splatterfest: Enemies killed by explosions have a chance to explode themselves, making an explosive chain.

While players have only seen eight upgrades thus far, the known items reveal a lot about how the system will work. For starters, it seems like Pack-A-Punch will not provide ammo mods, as these have been made into buffs at the Altar. If ammo mods are available, some entirely new ones would be needed. Further, the a rarity system is visible, with the one Legendary buff revealed thus far being the revive-focused Resurrectionist. It can be assumed that these items will appear at the Altar less often, so players will want to grab them when they do appear.

The most fascinating aspect of the Altar of Covenants is that it may be expanded with each new Call of Duty Season. This type of system works best when there is a wide range of boosts to pick from. With so many opportunities, Treyarch could expand the Altar constantly, giving players new upgrades to acquire and creating opportunities for even more varied matches. If several upgrades are added each Season, the Altar can end up with dozens of potential buffs by the end of the game’s lifespan. With so much potential, this system is easily one of the most promising things about Call of Duty: Vanguard’s take on Zombies.

Call of Duty: Vanguard launches November 5 on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X. Pre-order it for your chosen platform from our store now!
