Call of Duty: Vanguard Appears to Be Missing Highly Requested Feature

Call of Dutyfans will have the first opportunity to playCall of Duty: Vanguardthis coming weekend thanks to the PlayStation exclusive Alpha test. TheCall of Duty: VanguardAlpha will be available to play from August 27 to August 29, but fans can pre-load it now. Some have been able to check outCall of Duty: Vanguard’s settings in the Alpha’s menus and have discovered some interesting details about the game in the process.

As shared by CharlieIntel,Call of Duty: Vanguardwill see the return of Tactical Sprint, weapon mounting, and mantling. The game is capable of running at 120Hz on PlayStation 5, which was also true ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, so it’s good to see that functionality return in the new game. While most fans would consider these details good news when it comes toCall of Duty: Vanguard, the settings also revealed some potentially disappointing details about the game as well.

Something that fans may not like is the fact that it appears as thoughCall of Duty: Vanguarddoes not have an FOV slider on consoles. PC users have been able touse FOV sliders in recentCall of Dutygames, with console fans left out. It’s possible that the feature will be added between theCall of Duty: VanguardAlpha and the game’s proper launch, but fans wanting an FOV slider shouldn’t hold their breath.

Something else that will potentially worry some fans is thatCall of Duty: Vanguardmultiplayer mapswill apparently have doors. It may seem like an odd criticism, butCall of Duty: Modern Warfare’s doors were a point of contention with some in the community, as they felt that they messed with the flow of the gameplay and encouraged camping. It’s unclear if they will be as abundant as theModern Warfaredoors, but fans should find out more when they get their hands on theVanguardAlpha this weekend.

Call of Duty: Vanguard’s use of doors is likely a result of the gameutilizing theModern Warfareengine. And while that particular aspect of theModern Warfaremultiplayer wasn’t popular with allCall of Dutyfans, it seems many are otherwise happy that the game is going back to theMWengine. In any case, it’s far too early to make any judgments onCall of Duty: Vanguard’s quality, but fans can start putting together more well-informed opinions when they play the Alpha.
