The public beta testing phase for Call of Duty: Vanguard isn't even here yet - it begins on the 10th of September - but footage from early builds and closed previews has already leaked, giving us a suitably low-resolution first look at multiplayer. Activision is shooting down the videos as we speak, so check them out while you still can.
Footage from the multiplayer beta appeared on multiple hosting sites not too long ago. A video on Streamable has already been nuked, but a 14 minute gameplay video hosted on Vimeo is still viewable at time of writing.
Members of the press have been given hands-on time with the Vanguard multiplayer, with embargos on impressions articles lifting. The leaked gameplay footage from the testing phase confirms much of what is stated in these previews - Call of Duty: Vanguard is basically a Modern Warfare reskin.
We knew that Vanguard will be using the same engine as the Modern Warfare reboot did in 2019, which would have inherently led to some similarities in how the games handle, but it has become clear that the studio decided to just recycle a lot of what we already saw years ago. If you have spent any time in MW or Warzone, Vanguard will feel very familiar.
