Call of Duty: Vanguard Free Multiplayer Dates and Times

Since Shipment is such a popular map inCall of Duty, it stands to reason that those taking advantage of the free trial may be tempted to buy the full game after playing on it this weekend. Of course, they would need more than just Shipment to hook them, though, asCall of Duty: Vanguardis $70 on next-gen consolesand $60 on current-gen platforms, which is definitely not cheap.

Luckily, theCall of Duty: Vanguardmultiplayer mapshave proven to be fairly popular with fans of the franchise, and so there should be more than just Shipment to entertain those playing the free trial. But while theCall of Duty: VanguardMultiplayer has been relatively well-received, it’s worth pointing out that the other aspects of the game have not been quite as popular, and they will also need to be taken into account when deciding if one should buy the game or not.

For example, there’s been a lot of criticism aimed at theCall of Duty: VanguardZombies mode, so those who prefer co-op over versus multiplayer may just want to keep taking advantage of the free trial weekends.
