Call of Duty: Vanguard frames its WWII action across several fronts, from dogfights over the Pacific and an airdrop over France to the defense of Stalingrad and fighting in North Africa. Developed by Sledgehammer Games, it centers on visceral combat on a global scale, giving its campaign a broad wartime setting rather than a single battlefield.
That premise is expressed through three distinct modes: a single-player Campaign, competitive Multiplayer, and a Zombies experience developed by Treyarch. Multiplayer is described as having more than twenty maps, including sixteen built for core Multiplayer. The store information also lists PvP, online co-op, and full controller support, while the game features cross-progression and cross-generation play.
Its combination of global WWII settings and separate modes is central to understanding what that activity represents.
