Each gun feels completely different from the other while in Cold War, you could happily run around with a fast-firing submachine or a heavier light machine gun and feel minimal differences between the two. The IW8 engine also means incredible gunplay, one of the standout features between the two games. Cold War's core gameplay wasn't the worst but with such a disparity from Modern Warfare and Warzone, players were quick to stick with 2019's release or play the battle royale for an entire year. The IW8 engine certainly provides a very smooth gameplay experience and combined with the newly introduced elements of destruction to create new routes and sightlines on a map, Vanguard certainly has the edge over Cold War in terms of innovation.

Due to the difference in engines, it's tricky to determine whether Vanguard multiplayer will be a superior experience to Black Ops Cold War.
