The hype train for Call of Duty: Vanguard is already nearing full steam, and with the second weekend of its beta sessions underway, many fans are getting their first taste of the 2022 installment. As the CoD juggernaut prepares to push on with another yearly entry, there are already concerns from players and content creators alike about the state of Activision\u2019s next title. Now, another high-profile figure has throw his hat in the ring of those concerned about Vanguard\u2019s release. FPS legend Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek hopped in to try out the beta, and was left worried about the \u201crough\u201d state of the game, less than two months from launch. While streaming his beta gameplay to viewers, shroud began to voice his thoughts on the experience so far \u2014 and he didn\u2019t have many good things to say after his first impressions. Immediately, Grzesiek called out the game\u2019s sound. \u201cThe audio\u2019s tripping me out,\u201d he joked with viewers before asking \u201cAm I the only one that\u2019s tripped out by the audio? What the f**k? It\u2019s like the game audio is non-existent!\u201d After spending a bit more time in-game, shroud elaborated on his concerns: \u201cGod, this feels pretty rough.\u201d The streamer did give developer Sledgehammer Games the benefit of the doubt, and clarified that \u201cI mean it is a beta, but holy f**k this feels rough.\u201d As that particular game ended, one viewer asked \u201cWhat do you mean [the game feels] rough?\u201d to which Grzesiek responded \u201cI mean, just everything.\u201d \u201cAudio is non-existent, shooting your gun feels cheap, hitmarkers feel cheap, [hitmarkers] sound cheap, sparks are flying, it\u2019s like you\u2019re shooting explosive bullets,\u201d the creator shared as he sounded off a list of his concerns. \u201cI\u2019m sure that\u2019s all beta s**t that they can fix,\u201d he clarified once again, \u201cbut this feels very early. It feels like a very early build, but isn\u2019t it supposed to come out soon?\u201d he said, referring to the game\u2019s impending release date of November 5. After dipping his toes into the experience, it seems shroud has joined the list of those with reservations about Vanguard. Perhaps his opinion will change after spending more time with the beta, but for now, the FPS legend seemed unimpressed by what Sledgehammer has on offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shroud slams Call of Duty: Vanguard\u2019s \u201crough\u201d Beta as launch date nears Twitch: shroud \/ ActivisionOne of the most respected voices in the FPS space, Michael \u2018shroud\u2019 Grzesiek was left unimpressed with the Call of Duty: Vanguard Beta, and voiced his concerns about the state of the game as its release date approaches.
