Its tale of a small group of expert soldiers on a secret mission to stop the Third Reich may sound familiar to anyone who has seen the 2009 movie, but Vanguard plays it with a much straighter face than Tarantino ever could. No shadow hangs heavier over this latest Call of Duty World War II story, however, than Inglourious Basterds. It’s a cinematic opening to a game that wears its film influences proudly whether that be the tense behind-enemy-lines aspects of D-Day in The Longest Day or the vivid depictions of the Pacific in Terence Malick’s The Thin Red Line. An explosive train sequence through a burning Hamburg, Germany thrills as you jump between carriages, fending off dozens of angry Nazis on your way to a submarine base. Call of Duty: Vanguard’s campaign starts off on the right track – literally.
