Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players are voicing their love for Call of Duty: Vanguard now. Call of Duty: Vanguard was hardly a successful Call of Duty. It wasn’t a failure on a commercial level, though it is believed to have disappointed Activision in terms of sales and reception. However, it was an example of how Call of Duty is not able to release annually and be a smash hit. Call of Duty: Vanguard was the result of years of issues in the series, causing developers to get pulled off of projects, put on new ones, and release games that were quite obviously rushed. Many panned Call of Duty: Vanguard for a lackluster campaign, a multiplayer that felt like a World War II-skinned version of Modern Warfare, and a zombies mode that was clearly put together very quickly and didn’t resemble what fans actually love about the mode.

We really did take Vanguard for granted.
