Sledgehammer Games unleashed Call of Duty: Vanguard into the world back in November 2021, but its reception wasn\u2019t as warm as they may have hoped for. Players are continuously calling for popular modes like Zombies to be fixed, while classic features such as ranked play are only just appearing in the game. The problems are still mounting in intensity for Vanguard, as players are furious over the discovery of unfinished finishing move animations. YouTuber The Act Man blasts Vanguard\u2019s \u201cembarrassing\u201d mistake Vanguard has heaps of glitches in the game already but this particularly baffling instance was discovered by YouTuber The Act Man. Known for dissecting the highs and lows of the CoD franchise on his channel, the content creator shared a video of this strange inclusion: \u201cActivision is selling literally unfinished animations in Vanguard\u2019s store bundles.\u201d Demoing the \u2018Winterwind\u2019 finishing move within the game, the YouTuber went on to say: \u201cThis is a new low for COD. It\u2019s more embarrassing than the pistol grips in WWII.\u201d Activision is selling literally unfinished animations in Vanguard\u2019s store bundles. This is a new low for COD. It\u2019s more embarrassing than the pistol grips in WWII. Jesus fuck what is this?? pic.twitter.com\/s419IS9K2D \u2014 The Act Man (@TheActMan_YT) January 29, 2022 Outraged by the state of the game, The Act Man simply stated: \u201cJesus f*** what is this?\u201d An eagled-eyed player kindly pointed out that the \u2018Winterwind\u2019 finishing move is part of the Krampus bundle, which isn\u2019t accessible via the in-game store. However, The Act Man has footage of more severely broken animations in reserve, as part of his upcoming Vanguard review. Ah, well I do have footage of other animations that are in the bundles and are also unfinished. Will show them in my Vanguard review. \u2014 The Act Man (@TheActMan_YT) January 29, 2022 Players have responded with frustration to The Act Man\u2019s video as commenter @TheGoldenBoi8 said \u201cSledgehammer just can\u2019t seem to make a good CoD.\u201d Another commenter shared their sentiment, claiming Microsoft\u2019s acquisition of Activision will fix future issues: \u201cthank god Microsoft\u2019s getting rid of the annual cod release, this is just depressing to look at.\u201d While Microsoft\u2019s plans for the future of the franchise remain under wraps, it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to see CoD games enter longer development windows. Call of Duty: Vanguard is set to debut Season 2 in February after the developers delayed its launch to polish the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoD Vanguard players blast \u201cnew low\u201d over unfinished animations ActivisionCall of Duty: Vanguard has hit a \u201cnew low\u201d for players as they discovered broken and buggy animations remaining within the game.
