Call of Duty is one of the best long-running series ever in gaming history. We have had great titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in this series. CoD has revolutionized first-person shooter games in a very significant way. Latest Call of Duty titles are known for their multiplayer experience, battle royale experience with Call of Duty: Warzone, and awesome graphics and level design. Vanguard is no exception to the already-established Call of Duty formula. It packs great graphics, good multiplayer experience, and battle royale experience into one. Vanguard will take CoD back to its roots as it is a war game. It focuses on every major front of World War II, unlike Call of Duty: WWII which only focused on the Western Front. If the hype is real, this will be the first great Call of Duty war game after World at War.
Vanguard’s system requirements are not very demanding. It requires an age-old Core™ i5-2500K along with a GTX 960 2GB or an R9 380 2GB to get you into the battlefield. Those requirements are quite acceptable. You can max out the settings with a GTX 1070 or a Radeon™ RX Vega56 at 1080p if you keep DXR turned off.
