It was praised for its campaign and multiplayer, but Zombies mode was heavily criticized for its lack of content.

Zombies will get an overhaul andthe multiplayer component ofCall of Duty: Vanguardwill see two new maps, along with a few new perks.

Reddit poster AdonisBeats is baffled by the decision to remove the Ship Haus playlist fromCall of Duty: Vanguard. The user wants Sledgehammer Games to re-add the playlist and to simply leave it as it is. Ship Haus 24/7 was replaced by “Up Close and Personal,” which also features small maps, as a part of Valentine’s Day celebrations. AdonisBeats, and other players, are not a fan of this change, and specifically mentions the maps Demyansk and Paradise.
Ship Haus 24/7 is a playlist that consists of only two maps - Das Haus and Shipment.Shipment is one of the most popular maps in theCall of Dutyseriesand has been featured in several games. It looks like the playlist was similarly popular, with many users agreeing with the Reddit post.
User FSG_Out_ wants to be able to select a map of their choice, while others want Activision to release a playlist consisting of only the popular maps. Some also state that the selected maps in Up Close and Personal aren’t small enough to be considered for such a playlist. User Classiccarsaregreat4 commendsTreyarch for never removing Nuketown 24/7and is disappointed in both Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games for replacing beloved modes.
This problem can possibly be resolved bybringing back map voting inCall of Duty: Vanguard. The ability to vote on a map was removed in 2019’sModern Warfarebut was surprisingly present inBlack Ops Cold War. Map voting was originally removed due to players leaving lobbies if their selection did not win the overall vote, but not allowing users to select a map is also not an ideal solution.
Call of Duty: Vanguardis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
