In this part of the video, the speaker compares several aspects of “Call of Duty: Vanguard” and “Call of Duty: Cold War,” with a focus on their multiplayer experiences. They discuss how pacing is crucial in multiplayer games, favoring Vanguard due to its fast-paced combat and varied pacing options like tactical, assault, and blitz modes.
