Despite not often enjoying FPS games set during WW2, I kept an open mind going in to CoD Vanguard. I wasn't expecting a great game considering Sledgehammer's uninspired first attempt at WW2, unimaginatively titled "CoD WW2", but I wasn't going in to this game expecting to dislike it based off SHG's (Sledgehammer Games) first attempt at making a game set in the 40's era. I won't give a long analysis or give away any spoilers regarding the campaign, but it isn't as if you'll desire playing past the 45 minute mark. To say the least; Vanguards story & dialogue is tragic at best. No memorable characters despite playing as multiple soldiers across the world during the most prolific & horrific conflict in history. They're bland & uninteresting, no character in the story contains any amount of charisma, funny or interesting moments, or any amount of intelligent thinking. I wouldn't consider any characters, playable or NPC to be close to serviceable for a "story driven experience". Speaking
