Vanguard players slam how \u201cridiculous\u201d Call of Duty has become with Attack on Titan bundles ActivisionMany Call of Duty: Vanguard players are currently bemoaning the recent arrival of Attack on Titan bundles to the game\u2019s store. Fans of the game feel they undermine the serious WW2 setting and are accusing the devs of \u2018pandering\u2019 to certain groups. As we\u2019ve seen in the last few years, the Call of Duty franchise has not been afraid to have some outlandish skins and cosmetic features. Tracer bullets have led to colorful beams being pinged all over maps, Warzone\u2019s 80s theme allowed for the natural inclusion of John McClane and Rambo, but the latest addition may have been one step too far. In the company\u2019s second attempt at incorporating the mega-popular Attack on Titan anime license, Activision appear to have found some success. The Armored Titan bundle has been winning over many fans, but it\u2019s also distancing plenty of others. Despite creating a serious campaign geared around the harrowing real-world events of World War II, Vanguard\u2019s multiplayer doesn\u2019t quite follow the same stringent attention to realism. Certain in-game items and bundles are included that were either not around at the time, or are obvious novelty inclusions to encourage players spend real money on them. It was only recently that another character from the beloved anime was added as a skin \u2013 Captain Levi \u2013 but that didn\u2019t go down as well. The Armored Titan has, but one CoD Vanguard player has taken to Reddit to voice their displeasure: \u201cI get it money, money, money, but for f**k sake, [do they] really have to pander to the Anime crowd to sell a bundle? Sad when MW 2019 started going that way. Yes, some of the operator bundles were a bit much. If it was Fortnite I understand, but they [Sledgehammer Games] undercut their own game theme.\u201d Another post echoed similar sentiments and simply laughed at \u201chow ridiculous this game has turned out.\u201d Another Vanguard player agreed by saying: \u201cAs a long-time CoD player, I\u2019m not a fan of how they are handling WWII. They have turned it into an irreverent cash grab mockery. Besides a small handful of skins, this game has 0 realism in terms of skins. I know CoD WWII certainly had its fair share of unrealistic uniforms, BUT, at least it had a larger variety of customization and plenty of realistic uniforms to choose from.\u201d Combined with other issues such as not including a Trophy System, many fans are becoming tired of the game\u2019s hypocrisy with regards to realism and authenticity. With Warzone seemingly gearing up for a King Kong and Godzilla event, this won\u2019t be a surprise to many.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
