This weekend, Call of Duty fans got a treat with the Call of Duty Vanguard alpha, and while that, in itself is good news, it did manage to bring up a major issue onto the table, and that’s the COD Vanguard player visibility problem.
Hopping online to test Champion Hill out, It was very noticetable that it was quite hard to discern players from the background.

It’s the game, and we even got screenshots to make our point.
