Sledgehammer Games revealed the first details of the multiplayer for this fall’s Call of Duty: Vanguard game.

I played a few of the multiplayers map in some press sessions ahead of the release of the multiplayer beta, which starts today. It will have a single-player campaign, and we got a taste of that earlier: a World War II story covering the rise of special forces. And the multiplayer combat will feature multinational special forces characters from the story fighting across maps set around the world.
