13 brutal images from the Call of Duty: Vanguard gameplay trailer

Gamescom 2021 Opening Night Live included a gameplay demo for the Call of Duty: Vanguard campaign.

This campaign demo follows the story of Polina Petrova. The Soviet Sniper started the war as a nurse on the Eastern Front.

Polina enters the campaign hesitantly, but she’s still ready to fight.

Polina fights through Stalingrad shortly after it was occupied by German forces.

Knives are effective, but Call of Duty: Vanguard also features standard World War II weaponry.

The city has been laid to waste, but Polina remains determined.

In classic Call of Duty fashion, success in the Vanguard campaign means getting the drop on the enemy.

Sometimes your view will be obscured, and that means it’s time to spray and pray.

Thankfully, not all environments in the Vanguard campaign are quite as bleak.

Call of Duty: Vanguard runs on the Modern Warfare engine, ensuring it looks more beautiful than ever.

Beyond Stalingrad, Call of Duty: Vanguard takes place across the Eastern Front, Pacific Front, and North Africa.

The game features iconic aircraft, true to one of the greatest eras in human history.

Tanks are an integral part of the campaign too, of course.

If campaigns aren’t your thing, Vanguard will feature 20 multiplayer maps when it’s released on November 5, 2021.
