Vanguard Zombies: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Vanguard Zombies, whether you love it or, way more likely, hate it, clearly wasn’t the product anyone at Treyarch envisioned. It’s very obviously underbudgeted, understaffed and undercooked in nearly every regard. And when you hear stories about how the project’s development cycle was allegedly less than 4 months from conception to release, all of that starts to make a lot more sense. But in spite of all of the stuff that is clearly very, very wrong here, there are some diamonds in this rough that I think are worth highlighting.
