The concept behind Combat Pacing is simple—it is a new in-game feature that lets you select the number of players you want in a match. Players can select from the four provided options before they hop into a Multiplayer game.

All types of Combat Pacing in Vanguard

  • Tactical Comat Pacing: Comprises of 6–12 players. A traditional 6v6 Call of Duty experience.
  • Assault Comat Pacing: Comprises of 20–28 players. Gives you more enemies to kill and while leaving "enough room to breathe".
  • Blitz Comat Pacing: Comprises of 28–48 players. Meant for "high-action and chaotic combat".

Selecting the "All" option allows the game to select a random Combat Pacing setting from the above three options.
