A plethora of top-notch shooter games graced the gaming scene in 2021.
Enter the realm of Call of Duty: Vanguard
In Call of Duty: Vanguard, players are transported to a fictional world after the end of World War II. While Hitler's reign has come to an end and the Axis powers defeated, the Allies uncover a sinister plan by the 'successor to Hitler' - codenamed 'Project Phoenix' - gearing up to wreak havoc once again.
To combat this looming threat, the Allies deploy a team of four specialists from four nations: Arthur Kingsley (England), Polina Petrova (Soviet Union), Wade Jackson (USA), and Lucas Riggs (Australia) to dismantle Project Phoenix.
Vanguard will launch with 20 multiplayer maps, 16 of which are 6v6 maps, with the remaining four being 2v2 maps. These maps span across various theaters of the war, allowing players to engage in battles across Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. In addition to the standard campaign and multiplayer modes, Sledgehammer has announced that Vanguard will feature a dedicated Zombies mode. This mode will serve as a prequel to the Zombies mode in Black Ops Cold War, operating within the same universe, with deeper lore and story connections.

The Multiplayer mode supports numerous gamers joining in one arena. There are two basic modes: Arena (4vs4 team battles) and Big Team Battle. You can currently download and play the Multiplayer mode of Halo Infinite for free on Steam.
