Popular Twitch streamer Felix “xQc” Lengyel joined many others over the weekend trying out theCall of Duty: Vanguardopen beta. During a recent stream, xQc had some critical words for the upcomingCall of Dutytitle.
While streaming theCall of Duty: Vanguardbeta, xQc got into an encounter with an enemy soldier that took most of his ammo before dying. Shortly afterward, xQc was shot dead by an enemy soldier and this is when he got into his feelings about the multiplayer. “Why is it that I shoot eight bullets and the guy doesn’t die? Like, what is this,” xQc said.

According to xQc, the enemy soldiers inCall of Duty: Vanguardare too tanky and the time to kill is significantly worse than some previousCall of Dutygames. Longer TTK is typically associated with longer encounters inCall of Dutygames, as it takes longer to defeat each enemy. TheTwitch streamersuggested that keeping players so tanky in multiplayer will foster “inaccurate and stupid gameplay.”
Call of Dutyis no stranger to the World War 2 setting, having originated there and most recently delved into it withCall of Duty: World War 2,which was released in 2017.Call of Duty: Vanguardruns on theModern Warfareengine, so fans of the series will notice some new ideas introduced to the World War 2 formula in it.Vanguardwill have a campaign, whichCall of Dutyfans weren’t able to try in the open beta, and it may still entice players who are critical of the multiplayer to try it out.
Call of Dutygames are well known for having Hardcore game modes which typically reduce how tanky enemy soldiers are. As a result,Hardcore playlistswill have shorter TTK and more intense matches. If regular and Hardcore playlists both have issues inCall of Duty: Vanguard, it will likely be adjusted ahead of release.
While xQc was playing the same content everyone else had access to during theCall of Duty: Vanguardopen beta, his concerns may be less warranted when the game fully releases. Critics of the open beta have also discussed the field upgrades, visual effects, and skins asCall of Duty: Vanguard’s issues. There are typically several differences between the beta of a game and the final version that players get on the release date.
