Fans are hoping that the arrival of Vanguard’s second season will come and change that. Although the verdict is still out on if Vanguard can turn things around, the potential addition of a classic game mode does spell some good news. According to Hydra9114 on Twitter, Ground War could come back to Vanguard Season 2 once it arrives on February 14. The translated Spanish post says that “Ground War would be coming for season number 2 of Vanguard.” Meanwhile, the accompanying image features a large map set inside a Castle containing several POIs.
— Hydra— (@Hydra9114) January 22, 2022 Call of Duty has almost always had Ground War as a game mode. However, it was notably absent in Vanguard and 2020’s Black Ops Cold War. The latter tried to replace it with Combined Arms, which was a 24-player mode as opposed to Ground War’s 64-player maximum limit. After Black Ops Cold War’s failed attempt, it appears that Sledgehammer is going back to something proven to try and at least save face. Ground War was arguably the most successful game mode of 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare as players enjoyed the large-scale gunfights and the modern environment. If Ground War does make its way to Vanguard, it will give Vanguard players a reason to come back. Otherwise, Vanguard Season 2 might suffer the same fate as the first season if not worse. In other Call of Duty news, Activision Blizzard and Infinity Ward finally confirmed 2022’s Call of Duty. We don’t have a title yet, but the way their statements were worded proves the earlier rumors that the game would be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Not to mention, Activision’s statement all but confirms that Infinity is working on a Warzone sequel.
