Vanguard Update Today | Patch Notes

Call of Duty: Vanguard saw a pretty smooth launch, with few server problems and a relatively polished multiplayer experienced. While the Zombies and Campaign portions of the game didn't fare too well, there's a lot to love in the multiplayer portion of Sledgehammer Games' latest effort. Especially when it comes to the game's multiplayer maps and general level of polish, this year's Call of Duty should be commended.

The thing is, though, that no matter how well the launch went, there are always going to be problems that emerge in a game crammed full of individual users. Thus, Sledgehammer Games release regular updates for Call of Duty: Vanguard, to address issues here and there. We're here to deliver Vanguard's full patch notes, and have a little discussion about what each update brings to the table. We will continue to update this article as new patches release.
