What Call of Duty League pros want most from ‘Vanguard’

Earlier this month, Sledgehammer Games, the developer behind “Call of Duty: Vanguard,” launched an open beta showcasing four multiplayer maps. So far, professional players say Eagle’s Nest, named after Adolf Hitler’s mountain retreat, and Hotel Royal, set in the heart of Paris, show promise. But none of them had positive things to say about Red Star, an open map centered around a snowy Soviet plaza and inspired by the Battle of Stalingrad. Stacy said Red Star is a map built for casual players, but it’s “too big and too campy” for competitive matches in league.
