Well I've pre-ordered it.

Played the beta - softcore and there are some wrinkles to iron out, but I liked the maps,
reminiscent of the WWII and WaW maps.

For me it played better than black ops, I liked the maps. It felt like I had played them before somewhere

Ok, I've pre ordered it.

I'll blame the rest of you later.

Call of Duty: Vanguard will use 30-50% less storage space than past CoD games:-

Looks like a few old maps are being resurrected:-
Bocage - might be from CoD1, Castle, Dome & Sub Pens from WaW, Battle for Berlin looks like Downfall from WaW too.
Oasis looks like an old CoD2 custom map.

Oh and Shipment shortly after launch.

New Operator XP, Leveling, and Rewards — All 12 Operators at launch and others to come — can be leveled up to unlock new Skins, including special Gold attire, Weapon XP for specific weapons, and more. Use their Favorite Weapon to earn bonus Weapon and Operator XP.

OMG Gold attire. what ever next.

Ooh. It will suit all the....people...using diamond camo on their guns in Black Ops. Wonderful. You do have to wonder about the concept of camo being too complex for the game creators.
