The Call of Duty games have a legion of unconditional fans who follow each installment, however, among all of them there are also lovers of history and war stories who do not forgive even the slightest historical inconsistency, and that is fair. what happened to Call of Duty: Vanguard.
A detail that did not exist at the time
Recall that Call of Duty: Vanguard It will take us to a time located in a Second World War where various battles take place in various corners of the planet. The game will continue to overflow with action, however, it seems that, among all the explosion and shooting, there is someone who has noticed a small detail that should not be there.
That is what a publication on TikTok from SpectreX Gaming, who has shown an image of the Alpha that this weekend has been able to be played on PlayStation and where it shows that one of the weapons had a reflex sight or also known as a red dot sight.

Where is the problem?
The problem is that this type of sights didn't begin to be developed after World War II, so all those sights that appear in the game are absolutely fake. As we can read on Wikipedia, the first red dot reflex sights They didn't appear until the 70's., so it is impossible that this type of visual aid was present at that time.
In any case, this is an "error" that should not go beyond an anecdote, since Activision has already repeated on several occasions that although the game is based on the Second World War, certain licenses will be taken, and that is that "Vanguard is rooted, but not beholden” to the World War II timeline.
When the viral does more damage than it should
This is one more example of the power of social media. On the one hand, there is the desire for prominence and to make something go viral, and on the other, the ability of users to reply and share, who become especially more aggressive with publications and interactions when it comes to humiliating or showing what is lacking. of a specific topic. The publication, which was uploaded three days ago, has a total of 257.000 likes, more than 11 comments and almost 2.000 republications, so there is no doubt that has drawn attention.
In the end, the publication should serve to learn about the origin of reflex sights and learn a little more about the history of World War II, and not to get likes at the cost of being funny and not stopping to think exactly what is being shown. in the video. Come to think of it, Cold War and many other games crash with the same error. And it is that we remember that they are simple video games. Could it be that we are getting older?
