Gamescom’s Opening Night Live gave fans their first look atCall of Duty: Vanguardgameplay, and although it all looked beautifully chaotic, there were some important gameplay mechanics shown off.
ManyCall of Dutyfans will be aware thatVanguardwill be implemented intoWarzonea few weeks after the game’s release. This means a brand newWarzonemap plusVanguardweapons and more.
Vanguardwas created in the same engine asModern Warfare(2019) to make sure this integration was as smooth as possible. But, with a few new gameplay mechanics appearing inVanguard, JGOD believes that if integrated intoWarzone, could ruin the game.
JGOD Breaks Down NewVanguardMechanics
In one of JGOD’s most recent YouTube videos, he discusses some of the newVanguardgameplay, breaking it down frame by frame.
One of the first pieces that theCall of Dutypro picks apart is the new ‘Blind Fire’ feature. Essentially, this allows the player to shoot from behind cover without completely revealing themselves.
When showcased at Gamescom though, JGOD pointed out that when blind firing, the bullet spread actually tightens as if the player were aiming down sight. But in actuality, blind firing should act similar to hip firing, meaning that bullet spread should be increased, making it harder to hit your opponent from behind cover.
Of course, blind firing still won’t be as accurate as aiming down sights, but it’s an aspect that can completely change the way we play inWarzone.
One of the other features showed off in the demo was the return of weapon mounting, but with a slight twist.
ManyWarzoneandModern Warfareplayers will be familiar with mounting your weapon to a surface to decrease recoil. Well, everyone’s favorite game mechanic is returning inVanguard, but now players will be able to strafe from side to side whilst mounted.
The gameplay demo showcased the character mounting their bolt action rifle to the banister of a staircase, but then sliding side to side whilst mounted.
JGOD pointed out that this isn’t too much of a big issue as the surface would need to be very specifically designed to allow you to do this. Players won’t be able to strafe side to side on every mountable surface.
But,Vanguard’snew ‘Blind Fire’ mechanic is definitely something that could shake upWarzoneif it’s implemented into the popular Battle Royale. Make sure to check outJGOD’s breakdown videofor his full analysis.
