ATO- TW's Newest Division

Tactical Warfare is proud to welcome Halo Division back as a stand alone division! Thanks to the recent release of Halo: Infinite and our dedicated members, we have been able to once again have Halo as a division! 
 
Upon passing the requirements to move out of Vanguard @mikepaluso awarded some of the hard working members and staff for their dedication to Halo. Here is a special note from Mike to the members along with some awesome medals that have been awarded:
 
For those that know me, I have  been around for a long time. I got recruited playing Far Cry 2 for the XBox 360 back in 2008. I have been in and out of TG for over 14 years, and this community is and has been more than friends, it has been family. I have been many positions including the DO of Gears of War (which was the division I was with for probably 4 years of my TG career). My last major stint with TG ended up being with the Destiny Division. I asked for a HD because as most of us do, we get burnt out. My good friend @Typicalveteran- pm'ed one day last year and got me back by pitching Escape from Tarkov. For those that don't know Vet, he could sell snow to an Eskimo. I left Tarkov to pursue this amazing idea that TG has never done, a division where games are birthed and where games also come to die. So long story short the Vanguard was created. We started the Vanguard with Outriders, SW Squadrons, and I believe Halo with 3 or 4 people. After a bit I was promoted to BGC. I was given a task to make Halo a division again from Vet. Keep in mind this was no easy task. However we did it! Of all  the years and things I have done, this was the most gratifying moment of my TW/TG career. To see something grow from nothing to a division has been amazing. I have had the best staff I have ever worked with. From Battalion all the way down to squads. @TG Datdamsniper and @TG Schmitty, you two are two of the most amazing TG friends I have ever had as well the best partners I have had the opportunity to work with. I want to thank you both for all of your hard work. @TG Schmitty I am sure you will continue to work and make Halo grow. @TG Datdamsniper I am happy you are staying to continue in Vanguard, and hopefully we can continue our work and keep the culture we have created. @TG Shaumarai (I'll see you at Distill XD) and @TG T1ger you two are amazing and have been the backbone for 1st Battalion. @TheHal09uy and @Savior Self IRL, Schmitty has done nothing but talk about great things about you two and I am positive you will grow 2nd Batt. As for all the squad members, we couldn't have done this without you all. I want to thank you all for your hard work, showing up for practices, and even though I am trash letting me get kills on you even when you were carrying me 95% of the time. @TG HSquared and @TG HaloHobo thank you both for the guidance and advice you both gave me to help me as well as the friendships you two have given me to help achieve this moment of awesomeness. Ok so now to the good stuff
 
 
To all who shall see these presents, greeting: Know Ye, that reposing special trust and confidence in the fidelity and abilities of
 
@TG Shaumarai and @TG T1ger
 
From @TG Datdamsniper had some kind words for the 1st Batt SS."@TG Shaumarai's dossier may read six years with Tactical Gaming as of this month,  but he has spent much more time with the Halo Division going back to the Tactical Warfare days when Halo was one of the largest divisions, and throughout those years his dedication to the Halo has never waivered.  He has spent a large majority of his time in a staffing positions and all of his time in game teaching those hard to hit jumps,  and callouts of all of the maps.  Helping fellow teammates elevate their skill and gameplay.  TG Shaumarai has been with the Halo squads from some of the highest highs to some of the lowest lows,  but he has always been reliable to stay strong, rebuild and strengthen his squads and members. This is but a small thanks for his dedication and commitment to the Halo squads and to the future of the Halo Division. When reading over the Commander's award description "recognizing an individual  exemplary behavior, efficiency, and fidelity in influencing the evolution, advancement, and well being of his or her Tactical Warfare Battalion" I could think of no one else,  but @TG T1ger.  T1ger has shown dedication and commitment to his role of Squad Assistant since December of 2020 and throughout that period he was always reliable in getting the PB, PPR and ATS reporting done in a timely manner ensuring that his squad members received the proper credit for practices along with his dedication to attending practices and building the Halo Division.  I look forward to seeing what TG T1ger achieves in his new role as Squad Lead of Pandemic

@TG Schmitty had something to say, "Beedee has been with or a part of Halo for most of his 10 years in TG. Whenever SS were unable to make practice, he has covered for SS by running practice and even writing up PPR's. His competitive drive helps bring the best out in us while playing and was a part in helping with getting callouts setup. He is always at practice and a lot of times beats SS to the chat and makes sure to remind them he beat them too 😛 Beedee has been the glue to our battalion and without people like him, this transition to our own division would never have happened!"

@TheHal09uy
 
"Halo guy stepped up for us when the need for SS arose. He took the role on and has been such an asset to our battalion. Through his leadership, he helped devise Youtube videos to go over callouts for each map and advise us all of any changes in game or coming soon to the game. Halo Guy has done a great job in catering to the competitive members of our battalion along with those who just enjoy playing the game with each other to help us grow and succeed to where we are today and improving for the future!" - @TG Schmitty

Microsoft To Acquire Activision Blizzard

On Tuesday (18/01/22) Microsoft announced a plan to acquire Activision Blizzard in one of the largest tech deals in recent years, a staggering amount of $68.7 Billion.
It is set to boost Microsoft's gaming revenue as it set's to be the company's third largest.
 
This deal means that Microsoft will inevitably own Call of Duty, Overwatch, World of Warcraft, Star Craft so on and so forth. Essentially they become the soul owners and right holders of every own branded game released by Activision and Blizzard.
 
The CEO, Bobby Kotick, will remain in his current position which is set to cause some controversial statements as the CEO had recently been the centre of multiple actions so far, but under Microsoft guidelines, could this lease new life into the company?
 
 

 
 
 
A statement followed by Microsoft's gaming CEO, Phil Spencer, said the following;
"We believe that creative success and autonomy go hand-in-hand with treating every person with dignity and respect. We hold all teams, and all leaders, to this commitment."
 
The agreement is pending regulatory review and Activision Blizzard shareholder approval, with the deal set to be fully completed by 2023. Both Activision and Microsoft gaming are set to operate independently until the deal is finalized. 
 
Gaming has been the main focus for Microsoft over recent years, with successes of their newly released consoles, video game titles, and incorporation of PC and Consoles alike, the demand has only grown, to which grants the company the opportunity to expand and form a larger network across other studios. 
 
Microsoft has a big vision for the future, to expand into more tech research and to develop new ideas and bring new and exciting titles and development to current and next gen.
 
What is your view on Microsoft taking on Activision Blizzard?

A Decade in TG

For many of us, we join a gaming community with the hopes of being in a central place to enjoy video games with new people, hearing their stories and making new friends.
Some don't make it a year due to multiple reasons, and even fewer make it 5 years at least here in TG.
 
Today, I bring an exclusive interview with a member who had recently achieved their 10 Year Millstone here within our very own walls.
 
@ItzBeeDee Formally known as TG Unggoy, was a young, enthusiastic individual who was brought onto our rosters and become part of the pillars on which this community defines itself.
I had the pleasure of asking him a few questions, here is how it went.
 
 
1) - When and who recruited you into TG and why did you join?
I still remember the day Jackonen recruited me like it was yesterday. Little 14 year old me was casually playing some Halo Reach, and if I remember correctly it was Invasion on the map Spire. Afterwards I got a recruitment message from Jackonen, and I was instantly sold.
 
 
2) - What did you think of the community 10 years ago when you first joined?
It was pretty imposing at first for little 14 year old me because of the bootcamp, military ranks, the whole CoC structure, all the (voice) rules, etc. TG was far larger back then as well so seeing dozens of filled squads initially made me feel rather small and insignificant, but all the members and squad staff I met were very welcoming and I quickly felt at home.
 
3) - What changes have impacted you the most?
I wouldn't necessarily say "impacted", but two changes I felt were for the better for TG were the change from Tactical Sports into Tactical Adventures and the addition of the Vanguard division. TA allowed a far wider variety of games to become supported by TG, while the Vanguard division made it easier for games to either work on becoming new divisions or for old divisions stay within TG when their member count would drop. I feel those changes should have been made long ago as numerous divisions have been closed in the past while they still had a small group of dedicated members, because they were "too small" at the time. This unfortunately led to a large portion of the members of such divisions to leave TG entirely. I'm glad there's more room to work with now.
 
4) - What would you like to see return?
I'd wish for two very different things to return. First of, there used to be a position within TG called the "Forum Contributor". This was for members who most often had no time to attend practises but still wanted to feel part of the group and engage in forum activities. I've even been a Forum Contributor for nearly half a year at one point because I started studying and just couldn't make practise times, but still wanted to keep up with TG when I did have some spare time outside of practises. I don't remember the reason that was given for the removal of the position, but I always felt it was a good way for busy members to still feel part of the community and consequently provide more incentive for wanting to return when they do have more time.
 
The second thing would be TG-wide activities. I always enjoyed the big activities such as retro-game night where we'd get to meet and play with members from other divisions, and also a lot of the higher CoC. With the newly released Halo Infinite being free-to-play and cross-platform on PC and Xbox, I'm sure we could arrange something. I'd love to take on a team of Biggy, Hobo, Vet and Epsi 
 
5) - Is there anything in TG you not yet done and would like to try out?
Having been around for over a decade now, I've also had plenty of time to fill various positions. I've gone from Squad Member all the way up to Division Officer, spent years as Assistant Trainer for various divisions, worked as mentor and ATC instructor, worked for the News Team a couple times and even ran a class for the TLDC once. Position-wise there isn't much more I would want to do, but I'd love to bring back the Competitive Squad Fallout to Halo division and be part of that, actively taking part in competitions.
 
6) - What makes you stay here at TG?
Without a doubt the people. Since day 1 I've made numerous friends here, some of which I still actively play games with (within TG) to this day. I hope to maintain those contacts far into the future.
 
7) - Anything else you like to add?
Thank you! Thank you Jackonen for recruiting me 10 years ago. Thank you to all the friends I've made throughout all these 10 years, even though we may not speak as often anymore. Thank you TG Biggy for creating TG and letting me be a part of this community's history, even though we've barely spoken in all those 10 years. Thank you to every single member, new and old, for making TG what it is today. I hope you all will enjoy your time here as much as I have. See you on the battlefield 
 
 
 
We love to hear those individuals stories they have endured here within this community. We thrive on providing to you all, giving back what you give to those who organise various events. The joy we all felt playing in organised competitions, various tournaments and fun fill throw back nights.
 
Thank you Unngoy for telling your story, and we wish you many further amazing years here within this great community.
 

Halo Infinite Review

Were not late to this, we simply arrive in style. Speaking of, if you were a fan of old school Arena battles such as Unreal Tournament or OG enough to have witnessed the classic Halo 2 fabled gameplay 20 odd years ago, this is something that will be up your ally!
 
Halo Infinite is the latest Halo title to roll out of 343's studio Set on yet another beautiful Ring planet where master chief teams up with a Nervy pilot and a chirpy new AI to battle a reengage group call "The Banished".
Main missions are now threaded through the lush open expanse, comparable of the Far Cry titles where you can tackle side quests such as Hostage rescue and claim bases that allow you to fast travel between.
 
But enough of me blabbering on about how I think the game is, I asked 3 incredible TG members a few questions on their experience they've had with the title so far. 
Thank you to @mikepaluso BGC of Vanguard Division, @TG Schmitty XO of Vanguard Division and @dustylines SL of Avalanche Squad of HALO in Vanguard Division.
 
 
1) - How much Game time have you racked up since it's early release?
 
Mikepaluso - I have logged about 15-20 hours with the beta/multiplayer. Due to time and IRL its been a little hard to find a solid chunk of time to sit down and play for hours at a time lol
 
TG Schmitty - According to Halo Stat tracker I have 16 in game multiplayer hours put in so far.
 
Dustylines -  So far I have managed to rack up 40 hours. Which is lower than it should be really but I have been trying to finish of Death Stranding before the Halo campaign is released. I have failed spectacularly.
 
 
2) - How does it compare to previous Halo Titles?
 
Mikepaluso - It compares very well to halo 3 in my opinion. However things that are different are the weapon spawns. They are constantly rotating and you honestly don't know what you are going to get. There are a ton of weapons now. The pistol is definitely not as op as it was in halo 5. However it seems they made the assault rifle more viable in my opinion. The Battle rifle is still awesome. The needler is still as fun as ever. Even the weapons that are new to me are fun to use. Best part is there is a shooting range so you can try everything and learn how to use everything properly and efficiently.
 
TG Schmitty - First of all, It is just refreshing to have a new iteration of Halo since it has been 6 years since Halo 5 was last released. While this game was designed by 343 instead of Bungie, it plays like the latter titles of Halo 4 or 5 with some of the movements. The Battle Rifle shoots just a little slower than previous titles so it took a little adjusting to get used to and the assault rifle is a little deadlier of a weapon than past titles. I am more of a purist and love Halo 3. I think that was the most complete title in terms of replay-ability. You had an awesome campaign, great multiplayer maps and MLG support as well as endless amounts of designing time using the Forge!
 
Dustylines - Favourably. It sounds hugely clichéd but it really does feel like a blend of classic Halo and a modern FPS arena shooter. Finally! I think people who stopped being fans after Halo 3 will find the gameplay base very similar. Equal starts for all and no armour abilities. Back to the old school equipment instead, positioned on their spawns around the map like power weapons. Map control is hugely important. Yet it has that ultra modern, sleek feel. Movement is amazing, fast and smooth. Combine that with a grapple or repulsor and there are all kinds of moves to be discovered.
 
 
3) - In your own opinion, what could be improved?
 
Mikepaluso - As of what could be improved so far. First off the aim assist on controller is so op. Coming from me that is kind of an odd thing to say. Especially playing on consoles for my entire life and switch over to KBM.
I find that being a pretty large disadvantage. The major downfall is the season pass tier. It takes forever to level up. Albeit it's all for cosmetics and doesn't effect anything weapons' wise, seems like it is going to take forever to move through the season rankings. 
 
TG Schmitty - I would have to say the disconnecting issue by far is the most egregious fix needed. Almost every practice someone in the squad will have the game crash in the middle of the match. While we play a lot of ranked matches, there have been no provisions by the developer 343 to allow you to reconnect to the match. Not only do you lose a lot of ranking points, but your team is pretty much assured a loss if it is an objective mode with them being 1 man down. Plus, if this happens to you more than 1 time you will become banned for an unknown amount of time before you can queue up again and play.
 
Dustylines - There's always room for improvement. This title does an excellent job of helping new players get to grips with the basics and learn the weapons etc. which is pretty essential if you want to encourage as many people to play your free to play game.
 
 
4) - What's your favourite aspect of Halo Infinite? 
 
Mikepaluso - So far I think its pretty amazing. I think it is beautiful and crisp. The controls are amazing. Doesn't seem buggy at all. I am excited to see what the full release and campaign are going to be.
 
TG Schmitty - I love the fact that we have a new Halo to explore and master. Having played out the other franchise titles over the past 20 years it gets tiresome playing the same maps with the same strats over and over. I like the new challenge of power items randomly occurring in certain matches (such as overshield spawning instead of the camo and vice versa.) I also enjoy the ranked system that allows you to play with others of your skill level and that it also does not necessarily punish you if you lose. The system takes into account your objectives obtained, Kill Death(K/D), assists and what skill levels you went up against besides just winning or losing the match. I have had instances where I had a positive k/d and was matched against diamond or onyx rated players and lost the match but still gained ranking points because I did my part to help the team positively.
 
Dustylines - The same aspect that has been there throughout every Halo title. The ability to pull off the truly spectacular, and have me jumping out of my god tier gaming chair whooping for joy, juxtapose with the frustration and horror as I fall off a map/sticky myself/suicide with the rockets. Infinite really gives you all the tools to enable you to pull off  the former though. Except for my god tier gaming chair. Get your own!!
 
 
Thank you for taking the time to answer these questions! 

It seems for a free Multiplayer there is a ton of fun to be had! If you not yet checked out the Multiplayer for Halo Infinite, I think these 3 have sold it for us to try it out!

1st Corps December Newsletter

Welcome to the December Edition of the 1st Corps Monthly Newsletter! This newsletter provides a way for you to know what is going on in your corps, milestones people have hit, upcoming events, and more! If there is anything that you'd like to see in the next edition, please let me know!
 

 
December is a busy month for many people with all of the holidays that are celebrated. Holidays are traditionally a time to spend with your loved ones, often ones that you haven't seen since the previous holiday season, but they can also be filled with a great deal of stress. I don't know about you guys, but having the extended family together is stressful for me! Trying to plan the date/time for dinner, cooking, cleaning, figuring out gifts for everyone, going into stores that are short staffed and crazy busy... it is a lot to go through to have a few hours with loved ones!
 
One thing that consistently brings me a sense of joy and peace especially during the crazy hectic times is Tactical Gaming. To me, TG is like a big extended family, but thankfully I do not have to cook for you guys or buy presents! (Sorry if you were expecting this from me this holiday season!) Being able to go online and find fellow gamers to just relax and kill enemies with is a great change of pace from the craziness of this season! This community allows me the ability to escape from reality for a little bit, and I am truly thankful for that! For the record, just like any family things are not always peaceful with the TG family, but that is part of the fun!
 
To help us get in the holiday spirit, the PRO is hosting two winter contests that are open to all TG members! We are doing a TG Parody Song Writing Contest and an Ugly Christmas Sweater/Jumper Contest. These are a fun way to interact with fellow members outside of gaming! Give them a shot and you could win some prizes! Links for these events can be found in the "Upcoming Events" section below!
 
I hope all of you find some time to relax and enjoy your both your family and TG family no matter what you have going on this month! Wishing you guys Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

Where did all the Games go?

Within the last year TG made the decision to open TW Vanguard and TA Vanguard. The Vanguards are a place for different games to come to TG, and see if there is enough interest to be able to create a stand alone. Vanguard also allows TG to keep games opened (as long as they have at least one full squad/section), that would have otherwise had to close per previous regulations.
 
Our Vanguards are actively looking for new games to support. Is there a game that you play outside of TG with some friends, and you think that TG should support it? The requirements to get a game supported are much simpler than they used to be. Get a couple of friends, preferably ones not already in TG, form 75% of the TG requirements for a squad/section, show that there is outside community support (we want every game to grow into its own division), and then apply with the official request in Non-TG Games. After that is completed recruit, recruit, recruit! Vanguard not only wants to support new games, but to grow those games from new members that we bring in.
 
So, what games will be considered? Any! They don’t have to be new games, they could be old games that are still community supported. Games that we used to support that have had major updates and are now gaining popularity again. Independent games that are still in early access, but they look to have a good player base.
 
The next step that we are looking into and are rather excited about is Virtual Reality (VR). If you have a VR title that meets the requirements and believe it should have the honor of being TG’s first VR title, then apply for a squad/section. The only thing staff will be looking at is, can we recruit for it, is there community support for it, is there enough player base to push our resources into? Vanguard is here to help develop games into new divisions/legions.
 
So, you got the game, you got the squad/section, how long do you have to turn it into a division/legion? We have simplified that as well. You have all the time needed. We did away with the three-month timetable, and Vanguard staff will continue to support you and your squad as you grow. As long as you have attendance and a squad, you will have a home in Vanguard. From Battalion/Cohort Staff up, we have dedicated ourselves to Vanguard. We stay in Vanguard and help you prepare for becoming your own division/legion. After your games take off, we will remain behind and continue with the next game, and you and your fellow players will step into the new leadership roles and continue on.

BATTLEFIELD 2042 REVIEW

Battlefield 2042 is the latest addition to the BF franchise, their 17th to be more precise. Set on Planet Earth in a futuristic setting of vehicles, gadgets, and weaponry to be explored. Using the latest version of the Frostbite Engine, it's been tweaked to handle the more dense and beautiful scenery, more destruction particles with more players in one sessions than explored before. Seeing the individual stones of buildings flying towards you after a raptor dive-bombed into it, is what really makes BF so unique in its own right.
 
The more interesting changes to this title is the addition of a "Plus" selection wheel, as an "on the fly" customization options for players to adaptably change their scopes, muzzles, and grips when the situation arises. This has been seen in a popular free-to-play title Warface, an arcade FPS shooter which has done well over the last 10 years.
 
But is this cracked up to be?
 
Well, according to publicly available information, sub-reddits and others opinions, 2042 is having some teething problems since its launch. Unoptimized performance, huge server lag, and poor weapon balancing, it's understandable there is something to be desired.
 
That being said, it's not all doom and gloom! There is some genuine fun to be had. Their map designs have been a welcomed change to their previous titles and many are feeling that great BF4 vibe once again with the hope of these issues being addressed sooner rather than later.
 
With the addition of three game modes to be chosen, I spoke to a community member @NJYツ, from Call of Duty Division, who has played an extensive amount of 2042 since its launch only a week or so ago. Hazard zone is a welcomed addition to the new title, where 8 teams consisting of 4 players a team enter into different maps, who are tasked with seeking and acquiring data drives from periodically dropped capsules. These capsules are guarded by AI to which you have to battle your ay through in the hope of obtaining these drives. But it's not the AI you have to worry about. The objective is to acquire as many data drives as possible, then to extract. "This game mode for me is so good because there's such a variety of different maps. And also on this battlefield there's different specialists/operators that have skills that benefit teams in different ways. The guns feel really well balanced and every game really is different. Wish the player limit would be increased to make the mode more populated and with increased challenges." - NJ
 
DICE are aware of the on-going issues and are working on identifying, patching and releasing these updates. As with BF4, the launch is not going smoothly, but as with most BF titles, they turn from not so great to legendary titles.

CoD Vanguard Review

On November 5, 2021, CoD Vanguard released. Many of our TG members were looking forward to a new CoD title. I spoke with @NiftyCurry (2nd Bat Ranger Squad Member), @Primis Rulz (1st Bat Aetherium Squad Assistant), and @NJYツ (2nd Bat Redacted Squad Assistant) to get their opinions on the new title now that they have been able to play it for a few weeks. Let's see what they had to say!
 
Squared: "How many hours have you spent on the game so far?"
@NiftyCurry: "3 days Multiplayer play time and close to 1 days zombie play time." 
@Primis Rulz:" Less than 24 hours of multiplayer, and less than 10 hours on zombies. I don't go out of my way to play it."
@NJYツ: "Around 2 Days."
Squared: "Sounds like you guys have a spent a decent amount of time on the game already!"
 
Squared: "What is your favorited game mode on CoD Vanguard? Why?"
@NiftyCurry:"SnD - Involves team tactics and plays really well in the pacing of this game. Lots of strats can also be utilized." @Primis Rulz: "Multiplayer - There is not nearly enough content in Zombies for me to want to play it, and the multiplayer is actually fun." @NJYツ: "Search and Destroy. I find it such a balanced game mode and I'm not really a fan of Respawn Game modes." Squared: "I got to watch a bit of the 2v2 SnD tournament that @Cane hosted last night. Seemed like an awesome game mode for competitive gamers!"   Squared: "On a scale of 1-10 (1 being poopy and 10 being the best thing in the world), how would you rate the Vanguard title? Why?" @NiftyCurry: "8 - If they fix the bugs and glitches and do the necessary nerfs (STG - Vital etc.) then the game will be more fun to play as everything will be on a level playing field. " @Primis Rulz: "4/10 - I mainly bought the game for zombies, and it was a huge disappointment to me. The campaign was pretty decent in my opinion, and the multiplayer is solid." @NJYツ: "This for me is in two parts. I think as a game in general I would give it an 8. You can tell they've put loads of effort into the title and have produced a decent game. As for my overall experience I would give it about a 4. I don't have any urge to play like the other titles I don't want to get on to grind and improve I'm finding myself only jumping on for practices." Squared; "Mixed reviews for sure! Hopefully they will fix the bugs and add more zombie content, which should make it more enjoyable for all."   Squared: "Do you like this better than previous CoD titles? Why or why not?" @NiftyCurry: "I would play this game over Cold War any day. I still think the 2019 Modern Warfare is superior to Vanguard but given time, it will  grow on me." @Primis Rulz: "If I want to play Zombies, I would not go to this game. There is simply not enough content and it is missing several core components (i.e. No killstreaks, no wallbuys, exfil is useless now, weapon xp is now garbage, heck you can't even pause the game. And if you leave to go to the bathroom or something, you get kicked for being afk, not nearly enough maps or objectives, and they are not going to be making a round based map for this game.)"
@NJYツ: "It is better than Cold War, but other than that I feel all the other call of duties were better." Squared: "Hopefully they will make some changes to make zombies better! At least overall, you guys think it was an improvement from Cold War!"   Squared: "Have you noticed anything that you would like the developers to improve in CoD Vanguard?" @NiftyCurry: "Balance/glitch fixes, nerfs to overpowered guns and a designated 6v6 pacing playlist." @Primis Rulz: "Bring back round based maps, make the xp rates similar to how it was in CW, improve the points system, bring back upgradable skills to give exfil a purpose again, remove the gun carrying zombies, and exploding zombies, and replace them with something else, bring wallbuys back, add the ability to pause the game (especially for solo playing), add applying weapon blueprints to the game, make it so shotguns aren't the only way to survive high rounds, and honestly the list just keeps going on for zombies."
@NJYツ: "A lot of gun balancing needs to happen." Squared: "In most new releases, there are always a lot of balancing issues. Hopefully they will address these soon. I know there has already been at least one update, but hopefully there are more to come soon!"   Squared: "Would you recommend this game? Why or why not?" @NiftyCurry: "Yes, I would recommend this game to anybody that enjoyed MW 2019. However, for those that don't like fast paced gameplay and have slower reaction times, I couldn't recommend this to you." @Primis Rulz: "If you are looking for a decent campaign and a multiplayer experience similar to what was seen in MW 2019, I would say go for it, but I would recommend waiting for a couple of reasons. The campaign and multiplayer alone aren't worth $60 minimum, and the reason I am not bringing up zombies is because the zombies mode itself is worth more like $5 and playing the beta for it. If I had known everything I do now, I wouldn't have purchased this game." @NJYツ: "I wouldn't recommend paying full price for it if it was ever on offer then yeah buy it :)"   CoD Vanguard is offering multiplayer for free until November 22nd. If you are unsure on whether or not you'd enjoy the game go check it out while it is free! What are your thoughts on the new CoD Vanguard?
