I've played the game for almost 7 years. And the saddest part is that 1 by 1, your friends will quit until you're the last guy in the clan or friend group thats online.
Back when I only used to play on mobile, c-ops was my main game, I played it for like 4 years, but after they introduced the battlepass and the game started to look arcadey and credits were literally impossible to get, I stopped playing. Thanks for making this video, brought me back to a time I miss.
Fr i had to watch 10 ads a day spending hours on watching ads to get those passes but i see they fixed it now days but i have no intrest anymore and the skins are not as good as 2020-2022
Fact update: 4:27 - 2023's WORLDS actually had about twice as many viewers than 2022's one. I don't know about you but I think that's quite an improvement from last year, hm? My thoughts are shared at the end of the video! And thanks for watching as always
Was reminiscing about the old days of Critical Ops then this video came across my feed. Its kind of sad to see how the game is doing after all these years tho… no wonder why small creators like me had to quit (forgot to mention how much effort you’ve put into this video🤝 wish you the best)
@@Hypereyus nah the honor is mine. Im just grateful that the community still has a creator like you❤️ and im probably not gonna show up again on other critical ops related content tho💀 so yea, my jaw actually dropped after seeing your edits. You have some talent man. Goodluck with your journey🤝
I honestly cant tell you how much this game meant to me back in Middle School 😭 I played from roughly 2016-2019. I remember before clan tags were even in the game, and you had to save up credits to change your name. GS was THE team. Hammers was IFL. Getting accepted onto your first team after passing trials. Grinding late at night trying to obtain Spec Ops. Valiance and Mobile-Esports were the big tournaments, that every small team dreamt about competing in. The custom ranked server. Scrimming against other teams… What a time
Man the nostalgia and love i have for this game. I played critical ops with my old friends from elementary school in 2016-2017. It was actually a great cs-go inspired mobile game, it wasn't laggy or filled with ads, it didn't have horrible graphics or ripoffed ideas. It was an idea that was inspired from a bigger game and then branched out to become it's own thing. I loved the museum map and the office map, i think their names were legacy and bureau. My first skin i got was "sugar rush" on the starter pistol. So many amazing memories, unfortunate to hear the state this game is in nowadays
I remember one of my friends recommended playing critical ops when I was in class 4 or 5,it was 2015 when I literally fall in love with the game but due to device issues couldn’t continue at that time.right now seeing such a state of this game really breaks my heart💔
Love this vid, im a kind of an old player, i miss the times when we were having fun by bugs, etc. my favorite one was off/on internet noclip glitch (iykyk) on the brewary and berau (sorry for broken map names, im a russian so my english is in progress)
Personally, what really put me off two years ago was the intense competition from other games. Every game company is vying us for our time and money, and with our limited time, it became overwhelming to choose. What really frustrated me about Critical Ops was how it lost its edge for me after ditching the casual defuse mode for shorter, six-round games. Also, there's been a general shift away from mobile gaming, with players flocking to PC titles like CSGO, Valorant, and PUBG. Nowadays, the gaming scene is just saturated with options compared to the prime of Critical Ops.
Very informative and detailed video. I can tell you put a lot of effort into it so respect. The only thing was missing was an interview from the developers but i understand as that may not be possible. We've all grown up with this game and connect with it on an emotional level. The cheating issue is also in cs and even a company as big as Valve has problems with cheaters. I'm not justifying it in any way and a good anti cheat is possible *cough* Valorant *cough* but yeah I really hope the game can rise to to it's glorly like before. You earned a sub.
Probably the biggest thing that really killed the comp scene was joker leaving and then on top of that when the scene was just starting to recover, it came out that multiple teams were cheating in the biggest tournament ever. 2 things that imo are just never gonna be swept under the rug. No company or professional team wants to be a part of a game that cannoy even handle hackers in a tournament where there is potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. There aren't to many hackers in the game. And tbh the biggest problem is the ghosting. But that can imo only be remedied with more players. Making it exponentially harder to ghost.
I don’t it was Joker leaving that killed the game, he left cause the game wasent in a good spot already so the issue was apparent before him leaving. Your right about hackers but there is a limit to what devs can do about them. Devs don’t have kernel level access to mobile devices because that is against Play store and Apple Store TOS. I just think that the game isn’t very playable rn (very bland and has issues with gameplay).
Hyperba, you shouldn't have interrupted the flow of the interviews segment to add your thoughts like that. It changed the mood of the video abruptly and after you yourself told us that it's just interviews, it didn't keep any incentive for me to keep watching. Other than that, I'd say the video is really good and comes close to the level of top documentary makers like Moon, sunnyv2 etc. GJ! And good luck for the future
@@Hypereyus The suggestion made in the video about removing the number of players who accept rank que is a really good one. I also just wanted to say that I think the game has certain issues with its playability and gameplay that makes it unfun and repetitive.
Im started this game like in 2016 and played to 2023 and game literally changed by every way. they were needed updates but mostly the devs were updating the things that we didnt needed like the new character models, who wanted that? that is what the game got killed. And most importantly, people keep saying that they want the old c-ops, if they launched the 2017 c-ops right now it wouldnt be played as much in the past because people dont want the old game they want to relive the old game the old fun and the old friends they want to go to past they want to relive the moments in the past and i want it too.
Very good video and well pointed. I hope the people who have to see it, they will sat down and found solutions. One of highest problems are hackers. But this game is also a game to play with your friends. What I have noticed myself so far is that many of us we can’t play in rank with our friends like before because of ranking matches. Platinum can’t party sometimes with golds or golds with silvers. If one of the player is better than he’s friends at one point he will not be able to play with them because of ranking to low to high. I am myself a solo player most of the time. I am Master,and I can’t play with my friends anymore rank. It used to be fun. Before a master could party with all divisions ranks bellow. Now not anymore. Not everyone has capacity to play at highest level or not have iPads pro to get to high rank. If you want to play with friends and you are better than they are you need to do a Smurf account but even like this you will get promoted faster and at one point game will say too far apart. I believe this is one of the most important reasons that players are quitting critical ops, after hackers. Also lower ranks can learn from higher ranks wile playing. You don’t learn if you play only silvers with silvers and most of the time you have a Smurf that will trash all of them, and they will say he is hacking because he is too good. I use to party when I was silver or gold with diamonds or masters and there was less smurfers. I could learn from them movement, strategy, and also it was fun. Now I play solo as a master against full parties of high spec ops and I have no chance to promote and all I see is players want to surrender from first rounds. So how is this fun or playable. You don’t see spec ops solo at all, maybe some boosted ones by hackers but they are not at a level to play against a proper spec ops. I remember old time when I started the game, it was brilliant playing against all ranks. Teams where balanced and game was good. That’s why people are hacking because they can’t go to higher ranks like before. It is impossible as solo player to rich spec op. Only if you have a good party. But not everyone has so much time to play at that level and we lost the fun playing with our noobies friends. Also you can’t see ranks of players at the beginning of the game. You don’t know what strategy to apply. You just presume something but is not the same. Game is more strict and become boring. If devs want to revive the game they need to let matchmaking like 2019-2020 or even before, let us see the ranks of players. Make a market place for all skins. All the semi guns are water guns now, no one uses them anymore. Everyone use ak47, m4, aug, sg. It is boring for all of us. I used to love using Vector, P90, mpx, not anymore. Fun is the factor for a game not making it very strict. Who wants to play pro they can do tournaments and scrim. Hackers will be less if is not so hard to get to spec ops. The end of the day is just a game, we don’t play for our life’s. Play the game have fun.
Aaah I remember the days...it's so nostalgic. I've been a pc gamer for years now but growing up I didnt have a pc so I was a full on mobile gamer. In 2016 my best friend who I played with everyday told me that there's a new game out and it is not pay to win. It sounded surreal at the time because before this we were only used to playing severely pay to win games which are totally unfair. First time I heard this I was completely sold. We quit all the games we used to play and went to C-ops. It was so much gosh darn fun playing that game everyday and at the time I didnt know about csgo so this concept was totally new to me. I think besides the fact the developers did not listen, its more so that we grew up and became adults. I remember how much I cared about critical ops when I was small but now even the few pc games I play I really dont care about them, as if I've outgrown gaming. Times were simpler and we were simpler too as we were kids
Let me share my thoughts about this game. Most of the OGs like Twist,ROOGHZ and Jokesta quitted the game cuz of hackers. People literally blame it on Developers for not updating the anti cheat system. It's the hacker's fault. Unfortunately, most of the hackers want to KILL the game by making people quit. My friend said a person banned him by using hacks. Yes, using HACKS. It's scary that these hackers now have the power to ban people and unfortunately they could ban EVERYONE. Also C-OPS isn't dead. I have seen on the internet that over 100K people download the game per month. I love C-OPS,and the game shouldn't die. Also nice video man❤
I agree, but unfortunately there is a limit to what C Ops devs can do about hackers on the mobile platform. The most powerful anti cheats require kernel level access to the device (basically more access to device files to check for stray files and cheats), this is against AppStore TOS and isn’t possible. Also even though the game gets a lot of downloads, I think it’s overall culture and playability has slowed down, and I think the core issue is gameplay.
A theory and a suggestion i'd make,since like most of the community wants old versions n stuff: Make an event since the events r not "engaging" compared to 2020-21, they could make "Critical ops OG" as a temporary event that would maybe last like 6-12 months for the duration of players like to comeback -> they should keep the new anti cheat in the old version (the anti cheat we're talking abt today) and make only a single version of lets say update 1.1 or something and it has over 50% chance for people to comeback and meet the og times for moreover feedback (old brewery,division etc)
Im surprised the game is still around. I used to play it 7 years ago. Was rlly fun tbh, made a lot of good memories. This and PG3D are the were the goats
HEYYYY, YOU ARE THE SAME DUDE WHO USED TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH LOW END DEVICE. So glad to see your video after a long time. I hope you have a wonderful life man. Words are not enough to appropriate your dedication.
Been playing since the pandemic and it was fun, like FUN. I made friends (still playeing w them), purchase critical pass, and playing almost everyday. I always thought it will be like this. Until... The update of heavy armor, damage changes, promise, etc. For me that certain update really changes the game's perspective and everything went downhill (in my opinion). I always thought the more it updated, the more it will be good but not anymore. 1.16 was peak c-ops for me, good balance and recoil. Now guns like Sa58 becomes a loss and no use. This game was either hate and going back after sometime but still sucks. Thank you for this vid!
man i remember when i used to grind the game so much with goal of making it into one of the big esports teams. it hurts me so bad to see how far the game has fallen since.
As a part of critical ops community since the beginning; in 2019 the hackers destroyed the entire community! I have a lot a memories from this game; started out from Vast Survival. My old clan DyMc(Dynamic) we had sniper tournaments and ton of scrims;
For me the golden era would be when certain content creator got people hooked around before 2017. I remember watching jokester with ichase making their first c-ops video showcasing the game. From the start to the finish, the most major negative hit that I think sparked was when there was a major tournament that was supposed to be hosted at vegas the first time got cancelled due to the shooting and the tried to revive it again a year later for organisations to profit but then again there is no recovering from that. The wounds from that event tried to heal but a year later 2019, cod mobile came out and that slowly shifted audience for content creation especially for creators, you can also tell creators were trying to shift slowly from c-ops to cod mobile because of the mobile game competitiveness
Critical Ops 2015-2017 were the golden yeara for me. Stopped at around 2017, returned 2019 and it was still pretty nice even tho i feel like it was going downhill. Cant honestly remember much maps besides Legacy
i remember starting this game back in 2016 in middle school. i met a lot of friends who i played tournaments with and man it was so fun. we would also do customs and play hide n seek or jus play and talk about random stuff. i miss hopping in discord and playing all day with my friends. my old user use to be instinct and i was spec ops too. I recently hopped on the game and i don’t like it. there’s so much new stuff and the maps aren’t the same.
I must say that it is an awesome video and i like the new style of video but after so many years of playing the game i can't see the game in the light you see. Just looking at the state/viability of the smgs summarises my view of the game.
Dedicated nearly 7 years to this game, and actually was able to become a T1 asian player winning Circuit season 4, but left the game due to lack of tournaments, lack of anti cheat and just overall no improvement of the game. Looking back now, when the game is fully dead. It’s obvious that it was simply inevitable.
started playing when i was 14 almost 13, now im 19 played it some days ago, and dude that was kinda disappointed i miss my 2017 C-OPS, it was perfect. perfect.
i believe one of the reason of failing is C-OPS jist copies CSGO updates and tries to mimick every CSGO update to "save" their game, not add anything unique of their own
also the new player model is more like standoff than c-ops, and ive never played standoff lolol, i got alot of things but who would listen to a guy in a comments i had a pretty nice gaming c-ops youtube channel tho (never played any other game on it)
rooghz, one shot ma, angel, so many people, one shot ma kind of knew me (probably not anymore), angel commented on my channel once i miss these people dude, the new content creater are too boring.
I miss the 2017 to 2019 era of this game. Me and my Ex girlfriend used to play this game and talk shit in the game chat. We were such a good team hahaha. R.I.P both 🥲
This was one of the most nostalgic games for me, stopped playing after they removed pc version. Still remember usernames of rival players that I saw multiple games in.
agree with a lot of the stuff said in the video but also have to remember that the majority of the cc's lack creativity and so do the developers. The developers are also afraid to take risks trying out new stuff to make the game less stale, they also dont really listen to the community.
last time I played was 2018. It was after the big tournaments and stuff. I still sometimes comeback to see how the game is doing. But I just see new youtubers who seemingly lack in skill and it makes me sad. Rip critical ops.
Расскажу немного о своём мнении по этому поводу. 1. игра очень хорошая НО!! графика, звуки, комфорт и т.п. не прогрессирует вообще! Настройки плохо подстраиваются под устройство игрока который недавно скачал игру и из-за этого новых игроков нету потому что остаются плохие мнения по этому поводу, игра должна сделать обновление по этой теме, так же при входе в игру новичком в Defuse или Death mutch другие игроки у которых есть опыт создают новые аккаунты и соревнуются с новичками, у нового игрока сохраняются плохие впечатления что после нескольких игр он не способен нормально играть из-за таких людей которые создают новые аккаунты и что итог? Игрок просто уходит после 20 минут игры. система автоподбора не работает вообще! За то что человек создал 2 аккаунт и он опытный в игре, у него есть хороший скилл то его не банят, он мешает новичкам развиваться в игре! Модераторов мало и система бана устарела, автоподбор не работает. 2. Оперативники, возьмём Cs go или standoff 2, там есть несколько оперативников gign,SAS,FBI и т.д. в CS GO. Так же и в Standoff 2. В критикал опсе нету такого, да я согласен, тогда бы это была копия и обе игры могли подать в суд за воровство идей но я думаю это можно было как то обойти, это внедрение могло дать какой-то скачок в продвижении. Может что в критикал опсе только 2 фракции даёт какую то изюминку игре что она остаётся держатся на плаву но если бы ввели такое обновление в 2015-2017 то вполне себе игра могла выйти на новый уровень. 3. Хитбоксы и система стрельбы. Возьмём тот же standoff 2, почему то мне очень понравилась там стрельба, легко попадать в противника, приятное передвижение, прыжки и приседания но сенсация немного отстаёт но её можно настроить. Теперь критикал опс, при входе в игру настойки ужасные как по мне, персонаж быстро садится и не может двигаться при попадании пуль по нему, может это реалистично но идея как по мне плохая. Хитбоксы персонажа маленькие и сложно попасть по врагу, в Standoff 2 такого нету, там более удобно. 4. Комнаты которые создают игроки. Мне кажется что игра держится только из-за этого, игрокам давно наскучила классика и поэтому они создают комнаты, вот допустим: "No skope rooms, skop-ban", "simon says", " 8vs8 ak-m4" и так далее. Это очень хорошее внедрение в игру но это погубило ее! Старые игроки входят только из-за этого а новые не могут этого понять, и продолжают играть в классику где есть читеры и те игроки о которых я говорил у которых 2 аккаунта. Если новые игрок захочет создать комнату то к нему не зайдут потому что он новичок, и все потому что он не понимает как пользоваться комнатами. 5. Ситуация в Украине. После ввода санкций на Россию были удалены сервера RU-1-RU-4, очень много игроков ушло после этого, а как я скажу русской аудитории было очень много. А понимаю за что это сделали но из-за такого ушла большая часть игроков. (Я сам с Украины и могу понять почему это). 6. Разработчики перестали делать новые режимы. Сейчас только есть 4 режима: Ранговые игры, обезвреживание, бой насмерть, и ещё режим ( забыл название ). Раньше разработчики делали режимы и мне очень это нравилось, допустим: маньяк, пиратские перестрелки, зимняя перестрелка 3 vs 3 и т.д. и их убрали. Это тоже дало отражение на игру, сотни игроков ушли из игры от такого. 7. Игра просто наскучила. Многие игроки просто перешли на компьютерные игры, у меня был один друг, ему было 17 лет тогда и мы играли вместе 2 года, у него появился компьютер и он ушёл из игры, из-за этого я тоже ушёл. Это одна из причин почему игроки уходят, игра просто наскучила, это нормально. На этом всё, это было моё мнение по этому поводу (Translate from Russian to English)
Great video. There are some things that weren't adressed or weren't adressed fully, to be honest. But the overall view is there :) maybe I won't talk about those things here cuz I will get quite mad again.... edit: I have inside perspective from "pro" scene and tournament organisations :)
Its not bcs the game gets boring after 7 years critical ops i quit on year 6 but bcs the devs made evrything insanly hard to get even reaching high rank impossible as someone with spec ops skills being stuck on diamond rank bcs ppl were smurfing in partys 1 god player carrying 4 golds and plats and my team was alweys noobs plats and the max rank i got was diamond 4 bcs i had no friends to rank up with or 120 hz phone back then and i was playing 2 fingers it took me like 80 or more rank games to get that diamond 4 alone and there was hacker evry 5th rank game And forgot to add all my favorite evryday critical ops youtubers quit like ozey, cool mark, twist, roogz, jokesta, ibensuck and more they all quit and i had no one to watch in 2022 critical ops and i just got bored
ive played this game for years and spent over 200 euro just to get banned because i was using an emulator cuz my phone didnt work, its a very nostalgic game and it will always be in my heart
Most of the players play the game because they have been playing the game for a long time because they think they have a special bound with the game just like me; I was literally just a little kid who was playing the game from his mother’s phone and now I’m 21 years old😂 This video has a very high quality in terms of the improvements which are mostly need to listened by the devs. And also the rank accepting screen idea is just a great idea to avoid ghosters. The hackers thing is can just can solved by the devs with their own anti-cheat systems. And also I literally wathced an official video by C-Ops which they were announcing the molotov bomb and it has been nearly 2 years and nothing has done about that. They are just “improving” the game in their own minds and when you actually listen to community no one ever wants to them to do such updates like they have been making since 2020. “The game is dead idea” is not really correct but I can clearly see that the player numbers has decreased and this makes the game empty and makes the players want to quit game. The hackers, the ghosters, the updates that are not necessary are just pull the plug of the game.
Made most of my lifelong bestfriends in this game. C-Ops started to lose its charm when it shutdown its PC port and went full mobile :/ until now i still wish i could play again in my pc
Sorry, this'll be long*. I think the state of the comp scene also plays a part into this more than other issues. The period where hackers were infesting the game had ALOT of people quit or get tired of playing which cause organisations and teams to leave, aswell as casual players who contributed to view counts just dropping the game because the game wasn't fun anymore. I remember early on when i was new to the game at some point in 2019 or so every game i joined had ATLEAST 1 hacker in the room running through everyone until the room was empty then theyd move onto the next room and it was basically up to luck if you can pull off 1 game without running into a hacker, this would also extend to professional matches where evey now and then a player in a high tier team was outed for hacking in tourneys. This state of decline in comp environment coupled with lack of interest by the general players made the game sorta stale and unmotivating, even after some hug ban waves occurred it wasn't enough to regain the amount of players lost from then. But to me it seems the effects of that period persist even today and might be why the growth is slow in this game, obviously other things contributed aswell but this seemed like the trigger thag amplified most of the other issues. Due to the decline in the comp scene there rarely was any team that played seriously anymore and it became kind of a free-for-all with nothing binding anyone to one team. Players constantly joined and left clans which disrupts team chemistry affecting performance, clans constantly disbanded and rebranded so you never knew how long a team would be staying for, snaking and toxicity also still happens amongst teammates straining the teams dynamic and gameplay, and in general cringe stuff along those lines. I'd say alot of these things happen cause the player base is relatively young, 14-17 y.old compared to popular fps games that has mostly young adults playing in comp, who are more mature in general so loyalty and respect are more common there, also orgs did one thing that kept teams together and its contracts. While i wouldn't say they should be implemented with every team as they make things complicated it definitely helped keep things together. Not enough players remaining, a young immature player pool, lack of general respect and loyalty and also no sense of longevity amongst teams; all these resulted in a lackluster comp scene with messy teams (excluding some who kept it together like RGN), this would cause disinterest for the general player base in comp driving them away from participating or consuming/supporting official competitive content, which of course means less viewers and less sponsorships on tournaments as advertisers have nothing to gain from dropping money into a game noone watches... this results in smaller and smaller prize pools which causes less interest and 0 motivation to play for professional teams -> decreasing competition in the scene making it more boring, so people dont tune in to watch and resulting in less advertisers coming to bring in money causing less and less motivation to play and- you get the point? Its a negative loop that can't fix itself until things just deteriorate and no-one wants to play anymore. There will always be a casual player base as the game itself is fun enough to be enjoyed for 30-60mins a day without sweating or taking things seriously but without a comp scene or hugeee investments the game isn't getting any reach meaning no new players to replace the ones that left and in turn will end up not generating any income which will sadly, eventually, kill the game for good. This was just my general observation of the state of this game and im not really good with these things so i honestly don't know how you could fix it but maybe a more professional or serious settings (like implementing contracts as an example) would help fix some cracks that are making things worse. I really hope the game could pick itself back up because it has alot of potential that isn't fully realized and i think even as it is right now its hugely underrated, I've been playing this game for ~6 years and would really hate to see something i once loved any enjoyed to die a slow and disappointing death without coming to its full potential... Just wanted to get this off real quick sorry for anyone who ended up reading this stupid rant😭 Also thanks hyper for making this video❤ i think the insight from different people and just bringing this topic onto the table was very much needed to bring attention to the situation once more
Also the point of devs not listening constantly comes up, i think they didn't do a good job with understanding the community BACK. IN. THE. DAY. Nowadays they do a good job imo, they're definitely seeing whats going on in the game but the players are not helping their case by being so negative to every change CF tries to implement, no-one wants to give change a chance. I didn't finish the video before commenting this but alot of these points came up in the video😭 now my points seem redundant haha
I've always said that the best period of this game was between 2019-2020, when the recoil of Deagle was fixed. During that time cops was on its peak. In my opinion next changes made it worse, (especially when the developers tried to add heavy armor it was unplayable at all). It would be great if they moved their child to the 2020's level
I haven't touched this game myself in years. I played when there wasn't TDM and just a couple of maps up until 2018 or 2019 where I believe was the time I started getting into CoD Mobile. S3 at that point. Wasn't that bad but I think it may have to do with being a phone player and aiming was a bit complicated. Just thought of seeing what's up with it today.
I would like to tell about the player modal. This model has made players hard to differentiate between enemies and teammates. The guns and maps they added are not much used by players. The updates are quite unnecessary. If you guys remember there was an update named "Critical ops remastered". The games downfall started since then. The new maps are extremely hard to play. The players mostly prefer playing in old maps like raid and bureau. The map redesign was good but it made the games popularity go down. I would just like to tell the developers to change the player modal back to the original. Remove useless guns like AR-15 and KSG. I have played this game since 2017. The game was just OP. Jam sad due to the lack of improvisation in Anti cheats and etc.😅
I've been playing this game for a month now because I was just curious, but the game is actually better and more fun than I expected. Although ranked matchmaking in my servers, it is pretty long. For me, there is just something missing in the game, like grindable events, better ui and all of that. There's really nothing to do in the game besdies just "play", and that's what I think the game has fallen off. Lastly, idk if its just me or whenever I log into the game I feel isolated like I just opened Minecraft PE alone for some whatever reason lol.
Bro i left for ONE reason in South India or my state when I use wifi to play it dissconnects every 1mniute this is not wifi problem because I tested on two wifi and different mobiles too same issue. The problem doesn't affect in game just main menu and because 1 minute discconection i can't que rank... So i left also this issue isn't in with mobile data

Bro when are you uploading again? I missed you cheeseman.…
I miss you bro
Interesting perspectives - appreciate this video and you for putting this all together!
There’s no way coolmark commented right as I saw the vid
YOOO COOLLMARRRKKKKKK
Yooo
You alive @Coolmark123
I've played the game for almost 7 years. And the saddest part is that 1 by 1, your friends will quit until you're the last guy in the clan or friend group thats online.
Same bro
fr
real
sameeeeeeee
Fr in my clan there were 10 ppl, all online 3years ago and now I'm the only 1 who plays 😢
This documentary is on a whole new level. Thank you for having me ❤️
It Really Hurts Seeing All Of Your Friends And Content Creators Leaving The Game
It hurts a lot .
C-ops will always be in a special place in my heart.For me i will be together with this game until its very end.
We still playing untill cops 2
same
Let's play together
Back when I only used to play on mobile, c-ops was my main game, I played it for like 4 years, but after they introduced the battlepass and the game started to look arcadey and credits were literally impossible to get, I stopped playing. Thanks for making this video, brought me back to a time I miss.
Fr i had to watch 10 ads a day spending hours on watching ads to get those passes but i see they fixed it now days but i have no intrest anymore and the skins are not as good as 2020-2022
Fact update: 4:27 - 2023's WORLDS actually had about twice as many viewers than 2022's one. I don't know about you but I think that's quite an improvement from last year, hm?
My thoughts are shared at the end of the video! And thanks for watching as always
Your welcome 👌
And thanks for the good quality,as always 🤜🤛
Only reason they had more viewers was cuz of the free cases they gave imo
@@Falcum yeah. but ngl, the Worlds was actually quite fun to watch.
I left in like 2023 but I'm back after watching your videos.. you will definitely blow up

Ew no the game looked like cheap copy of cs 1.6 the game was at its peak in 2017-2019 after this evrything got hard and boring
@@zkilerex9661you said the truth
Was reminiscing about the old days of Critical Ops then this video came across my feed. Its kind of sad to see how the game is doing after all these years tho… no wonder why small creators like me had to quit (forgot to mention how much effort you’ve put into this video🤝 wish you the best)
Yo daxy I remember you dude, been so long since I last heard about you! Honor to have your comment over here ❤🫡
@@Hypereyus nah the honor is mine. Im just grateful that the community still has a creator like you❤️ and im probably not gonna show up again on other critical ops related content tho💀 so yea, my jaw actually dropped after seeing your edits. You have some talent man. Goodluck with your journey🤝
I honestly cant tell you how much this game meant to me back in Middle School 😭
I played from roughly 2016-2019. I remember before clan tags were even in the game, and you had to save up credits to change your name. GS was THE team. Hammers was IFL. Getting accepted onto your first team after passing trials. Grinding late at night trying to obtain Spec Ops. Valiance and Mobile-Esports were the big tournaments, that every small team dreamt about competing in. The custom ranked server. Scrimming against other teams… What a time
Man the nostalgia and love i have for this game. I played critical ops with my old friends from elementary school in 2016-2017. It was actually a great cs-go inspired mobile game, it wasn't laggy or filled with ads, it didn't have horrible graphics or ripoffed ideas. It was an idea that was inspired from a bigger game and then branched out to become it's own thing. I loved the museum map and the office map, i think their names were legacy and bureau. My first skin i got was "sugar rush" on the starter pistol. So many amazing memories, unfortunate to hear the state this game is in nowadays
It was quite a popular game from 2017 to 2020 lockdown ending significantly killed the game
2020-2021
I remember one of my friends recommended playing critical ops when I was in class 4 or 5,it was 2015 when I literally fall in love with the game but due to device issues couldn’t continue at that time.right now seeing such a state of this game really breaks my heart💔
Love this vid, im a kind of an old player, i miss the times when we were having fun by bugs, etc. my favorite one was off/on internet noclip glitch (iykyk) on the brewary and berau (sorry for broken map names, im a russian so my english is in progress)
Personally, what really put me off two years ago was the intense competition from other games. Every game company is vying us for our time and money, and with our limited time, it became overwhelming to choose. What really frustrated me about Critical Ops was how it lost its edge for me after ditching the casual defuse mode for shorter, six-round games. Also, there's been a general shift away from mobile gaming, with players flocking to PC titles like CSGO, Valorant, and PUBG. Nowadays, the gaming scene is just saturated with options compared to the prime of Critical Ops.
Very informative and detailed video. I can tell you put a lot of effort into it so respect. The only thing was missing was an interview from the developers but i understand as that may not be possible. We've all grown up with this game and connect with it on an emotional level. The cheating issue is also in cs and even a company as big as Valve has problems with cheaters. I'm not justifying it in any way and a good anti cheat is possible *cough* Valorant *cough* but yeah I really hope the game can rise to to it's glorly like before. You earned a sub.
Standoff 2 had a very big role in the Critical Ops downfall scene
Back in 2019, lots of C-ops players started migrating to Standoff
ty for the documentary bro this is next levl
Probably the biggest thing that really killed the comp scene was joker leaving and then on top of that when the scene was just starting to recover, it came out that multiple teams were cheating in the biggest tournament ever. 2 things that imo are just never gonna be swept under the rug. No company or professional team wants to be a part of a game that cannoy even handle hackers in a tournament where there is potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line. There aren't to many hackers in the game. And tbh the biggest problem is the ghosting. But that can imo only be remedied with more players. Making it exponentially harder to ghost.
I don’t it was Joker leaving that killed the game, he left cause the game wasent in a good spot already so the issue was apparent before him leaving.
Your right about hackers but there is a limit to what devs can do about them. Devs don’t have kernel level access to mobile devices because that is against Play store and Apple Store TOS.
I just think that the game isn’t very playable rn (very bland and has issues with gameplay).
miss this game back in 6th grade 2016 all the way to 2019 was golden era man no rank matches just sweat lobbies. it was fun
Hyperba, you shouldn't have interrupted the flow of the interviews segment to add your thoughts like that. It changed the mood of the video abruptly and after you yourself told us that it's just interviews, it didn't keep any incentive for me to keep watching. Other than that, I'd say the video is really good and comes close to the level of top documentary makers like Moon, sunnyv2 etc. GJ! And good luck for the future
Great vid and quite interesting :) nice to know about how it was before 😂 i cant imagine c ops going backwards tho
Loved this! Great points and great editing, best of luck
Thanks so much!!
@@Hypereyus The suggestion made in the video about removing the number of players who accept rank que is a really good one.
I also just wanted to say that I think the game has certain issues with its playability and gameplay that makes it unfun and repetitive.
This is such a high-quality video that I watched it and I don’t even know English, (I watched everything through subtitles) it was quite interesting
I want old critical ops of 2016 the old days the golden era
True , its so sad. I remember 2018-19 it was good....
Im started this game like in 2016 and played to 2023 and game literally changed by every way. they were needed updates but mostly the devs were updating the things that we didnt needed like the new character models, who wanted that? that is what the game got killed. And most importantly, people keep saying that they want the old c-ops, if they launched the 2017 c-ops right now it wouldnt be played as much in the past because people dont want the old game they want to relive the old game the old fun and the old friends they want to go to past they want to relive the moments in the past and i want it too.
Ну не знаю, я б хотів би пограти на старій версії карти "Brewery", а також адекватний спавн у deathmatch на інших картах
Very good video and well pointed. I hope the people who have to see it, they will sat down and found solutions. One of highest problems are hackers. But this game is also a game to play with your friends. What I have noticed myself so far is that many of us we can’t play in rank with our friends like before because of ranking matches. Platinum can’t party sometimes with golds or golds with silvers. If one of the player is better than he’s friends at one point he will not be able to play with them because of ranking to low to high. I am myself a solo player most of the time. I am Master,and I can’t play with my friends anymore rank. It used to be fun. Before a master could party with all divisions ranks bellow. Now not anymore. Not everyone has capacity to play at highest level or not have iPads pro to get to high rank. If you want to play with friends and you are better than they are you need to do a Smurf account but even like this you will get promoted faster and at one point game will say too far apart. I believe this is one of the most important reasons that players are quitting critical ops, after hackers. Also lower ranks can learn from higher ranks wile playing. You don’t learn if you play only silvers with silvers and most of the time you have a Smurf that will trash all of them, and they will say he is hacking because he is too good. I use to party when I was silver or gold with diamonds or masters and there was less smurfers. I could learn from them movement, strategy, and also it was fun. Now I play solo as a master against full parties of high spec ops and I have no chance to promote and all I see is players want to surrender from first rounds. So how is this fun or playable. You don’t see spec ops solo at all, maybe some boosted ones by hackers but they are not at a level to play against a proper spec ops. I remember old time when I started the game, it was brilliant playing against all ranks. Teams where balanced and game was good. That’s why people are hacking because they can’t go to higher ranks like before. It is impossible as solo player to rich spec op. Only if you have a good party. But not everyone has so much time to play at that level and we lost the fun playing with our noobies friends. Also you can’t see ranks of players at the beginning of the game. You don’t know what strategy to apply. You just presume something but is not the same. Game is more strict and become boring.
If devs want to revive the game they need to let matchmaking like 2019-2020 or even before, let us see the ranks of players. Make a market place for all skins. All the semi guns are water guns now, no one uses them anymore. Everyone use ak47, m4, aug, sg. It is boring for all of us. I used to love using Vector, P90, mpx, not anymore. Fun is the factor for a game not making it very strict. Who wants to play pro they can do tournaments and scrim. Hackers will be less if is not so hard to get to spec ops. The end of the day is just a game, we don’t play for our life’s. Play the game have fun.
When critical ops: "ew its repetitive"
When csgo and valorant: "oo so fun i can play for so long"
Aaah I remember the days...it's so nostalgic. I've been a pc gamer for years now but growing up I didnt have a pc so I was a full on mobile gamer. In 2016 my best friend who I played with everyday told me that there's a new game out and it is not pay to win. It sounded surreal at the time because before this we were only used to playing severely pay to win games which are totally unfair. First time I heard this I was completely sold. We quit all the games we used to play and went to C-ops. It was so much gosh darn fun playing that game everyday and at the time I didnt know about csgo so this concept was totally new to me. I think besides the fact the developers did not listen, its more so that we grew up and became adults. I remember how much I cared about critical ops when I was small but now even the few pc games I play I really dont care about them, as if I've outgrown gaming. Times were simpler and we were simpler too as we were kids
Let me share my thoughts about this game. Most of the OGs like Twist,ROOGHZ and Jokesta quitted the game cuz of hackers. People literally blame it on Developers for not updating the anti cheat system. It's the hacker's fault. Unfortunately, most of the hackers want to KILL the game by making people quit. My friend said a person banned him by using hacks. Yes, using HACKS. It's scary that these hackers now have the power to ban people and unfortunately they could ban EVERYONE. Also C-OPS isn't dead. I have seen on the internet that over 100K people download the game per month. I love C-OPS,and the game shouldn't die. Also nice video man❤
I agree, but unfortunately there is a limit to what C Ops devs can do about hackers on the mobile platform. The most powerful anti cheats require kernel level access to the device (basically more access to device files to check for stray files and cheats), this is against AppStore TOS and isn’t possible.
Also even though the game gets a lot of downloads, I think it’s overall culture and playability has slowed down, and I think the core issue is gameplay.
I dont give a f abt cheaters,i didnt meet atleast 10 cheaters in 8 yrs of playing
A theory and a suggestion i'd make,since like most of the community wants old versions n stuff:
Make an event since the events r not "engaging" compared to 2020-21, they could make "Critical ops OG" as a temporary event that would maybe last like 6-12 months for the duration of players like to comeback -> they should keep the new anti cheat in the old version (the anti cheat we're talking abt today) and make only a single version of lets say update 1.1 or something and it has over 50% chance for people to comeback and meet the og times for moreover feedback (old brewery,division etc)
Старії версії цих мап дійсно були крутими, хоча нова Division більш-менш непогана (хоч і все одно гірше оригіналу)
This hurts because all of us grew up on this game now everyone is leaving the times we had were priceless.
Amazing video, great work, facts pointed out perfectly
this was litteraly my favorite game 2020- 2022 bro what happened
Im surprised the game is still around. I used to play it 7 years ago. Was rlly fun tbh, made a lot of good memories. This and PG3D are the were the goats
What is the music name? The one u used in the video which sounds like oooooohhhhh ohhhhh
Great Video your Editing Skills are impecabble
6:48 wait i saw that logo before..
Have you uploaded that kind of video before or not? Or in your old channel, i dont know but i got deja vu
That's Blacky, he's quite popular in the c-ops community. No I've made a video on the past about this topic but this isn't the same vid
@@Hypereyus well I guess just random ass deja vu
Sad to see honestly...i used to be a competitive player and quitting in 2019 seems like the best decision i made.
Slight correction: in 2020
HEYYYY, YOU ARE THE SAME DUDE WHO USED TO PLAY THIS GAME WITH LOW END DEVICE. So glad to see your video after a long time. I hope you have a wonderful life man. Words are not enough to appropriate your dedication.

"The game is dead," buddy, i still play Critical Ops, and the game isn't at all dead. it's filled with so many players
Been playing since the pandemic and it was fun, like FUN. I made friends (still playeing w them), purchase critical pass, and playing almost everyday. I always thought it will be like this. Until... The update of heavy armor, damage changes, promise, etc. For me that certain update really changes the game's perspective and everything went downhill (in my opinion). I always thought the more it updated, the more it will be good but not anymore. 1.16 was peak c-ops for me, good balance and recoil. Now guns like Sa58 becomes a loss and no use. This game was either hate and going back after sometime but still sucks. Thank you for this vid!
All we needed was a FKIN TRADING SYSTEM
man i remember when i used to grind the game so much with goal of making it into one of the big esports teams. it hurts me so bad to see how far the game has fallen since.
As a part of critical ops community since the beginning; in 2019 the hackers destroyed the entire community! I have a lot a memories from this game; started out from Vast Survival. My old clan DyMc(Dynamic) we had sniper tournaments and ton of scrims;
For me the golden era would be when certain content creator got people hooked around before 2017. I remember watching jokester with ichase making their first c-ops video showcasing the game. From the start to the finish, the most major negative hit that I think sparked was when there was a major tournament that was supposed to be hosted at vegas the first time got cancelled due to the shooting and the tried to revive it again a year later for organisations to profit but then again there is no recovering from that. The wounds from that event tried to heal but a year later 2019, cod mobile came out and that slowly shifted audience for content creation especially for creators, you can also tell creators were trying to shift slowly from c-ops to cod mobile because of the mobile game competitiveness
Critical Ops 2015-2017 were the golden yeara for me. Stopped at around 2017, returned 2019 and it was still pretty nice even tho i feel like it was going downhill. Cant honestly remember much maps besides Legacy
i remember starting this game back in 2016 in middle school. i met a lot of friends who i played tournaments with and man it was so fun. we would also do customs and play hide n seek or jus play and talk about random stuff. i miss hopping in discord and playing all day with my friends. my old user use to be instinct and i was spec ops too. I recently hopped on the game and i don’t like it. there’s so much new stuff and the maps aren’t the same.
im just chilling, never had a clan or friends I played with much. having fun on my own is just the way it is.
Now in 2024 Critical ops are gonna bring the old models back and try and revive it which i Hope they do revive the game
If they come back with the PC version of the game... then the game will be hyped again.
I must say that it is an awesome video and i like the new style of video but after so many years of playing the game i can't see the game in the light you see. Just looking at the state/viability of the smgs summarises my view of the game.
I can still remember critical ops UA-cam ads
I'm playing this game till now, and I hope dev's Focus on improving and developing the game and adding new modes to playing styles.
Very well edited
Dedicated nearly 7 years to this game, and actually was able to become a T1 asian player winning Circuit season 4, but left the game due to lack of tournaments, lack of anti cheat and just overall no improvement of the game. Looking back now, when the game is fully dead. It’s obvious that it was simply inevitable.
started playing when i was 14 almost 13, now im 19
played it some days ago, and dude that was kinda disappointed i miss my 2017 C-OPS, it was perfect. perfect.
i believe one of the reason of failing is C-OPS jist copies CSGO updates and tries to mimick every CSGO update to "save" their game, not add anything unique of their own
also the new player model is more like standoff than c-ops, and ive never played standoff lolol, i got alot of things but who would listen to a guy in a comments
i had a pretty nice gaming c-ops youtube channel tho (never played any other game on it)
rooghz, one shot ma, angel, so many people, one shot ma kind of knew me (probably not anymore), angel commented on my channel once
i miss these people dude, the new content creater are too boring.
I miss the 2017 to 2019 era of this game. Me and my Ex girlfriend used to play this game and talk shit in the game chat. We were such a good team hahaha. R.I.P both 🥲
This was one of the most nostalgic games for me, stopped playing after they removed pc version. Still remember usernames of rival players that I saw multiple games in.
Incredible video🤝🏽
And Today, Critical Ops is having a redemption arc, most proberbly because of this video
agree with a lot of the stuff said in the video but also have to remember that the majority of the cc's lack creativity and so do the developers. The developers are also afraid to take risks trying out new stuff to make the game less stale, they also dont really listen to the community.
I remember i played this game on PC around 2017, then they simply shut down the servers. The game was simple and good back then :/
Been looking forward to a video similar to this
critical ops literally revolutionized the mobile fps gaming, introducing the claw control layout
I thought i'm in documentary video from netflix, awesome editing.
But also with these new player models, nothing flashy, it becomes more difficult to attract new players. I hope the game developers Watch your video
0:11 who is this guy ? I forgot his name
Coolmark. Top comment on this video lol
@@Hypereyus the one that is saluting
you showed all those creators too fast literally three creators in one single second
@@Gambit_777 it's twist he quit
Nice job hype I watched the whole video ;)
💐
last time I played was 2018. It was after the big tournaments and stuff. I still sometimes comeback to see how the game is doing. But I just see new youtubers who seemingly lack in skill and it makes me sad. Rip critical ops.
i left this game 2 years ago but i tried to come back but it didn't fit me at all
I think when they add trade ups the game will experience a revival, old players will come back to trade up their skins and hopefully play again
Вони додали його. Що ж, прийнамі це хоч щось, але все одно далеко від ідеалу
Расскажу немного о своём мнении по этому поводу.
1.
игра очень хорошая НО!! графика, звуки, комфорт и т.п. не прогрессирует вообще! Настройки плохо подстраиваются под устройство игрока который недавно скачал игру и из-за этого новых игроков нету потому что остаются плохие мнения по этому поводу, игра должна сделать обновление по этой теме, так же при входе в игру новичком в Defuse или Death mutch другие игроки у которых есть опыт создают новые аккаунты и соревнуются с новичками, у нового игрока сохраняются плохие впечатления что после нескольких игр он не способен нормально играть из-за таких людей которые создают новые аккаунты и что итог? Игрок просто уходит после 20 минут игры. система автоподбора не работает вообще! За то что человек создал 2 аккаунт и он опытный в игре, у него есть хороший скилл то его не банят, он мешает новичкам развиваться в игре! Модераторов мало и система бана устарела, автоподбор не работает.
2.
Оперативники, возьмём Cs go или standoff 2, там есть несколько оперативников gign,SAS,FBI и т.д. в CS GO. Так же и в Standoff 2. В критикал опсе нету такого, да я согласен, тогда бы это была копия и обе игры могли подать в суд за воровство идей но я думаю это можно было как то обойти, это внедрение могло дать какой-то скачок в продвижении. Может что в критикал опсе только 2 фракции даёт какую то изюминку игре что она остаётся держатся на плаву но если бы ввели такое обновление в 2015-2017 то вполне себе игра могла выйти на новый уровень.
3.
Хитбоксы и система стрельбы.
Возьмём тот же standoff 2, почему то мне очень понравилась там стрельба, легко попадать в противника, приятное передвижение, прыжки и приседания но сенсация немного отстаёт но её можно настроить. Теперь критикал опс, при входе в игру настойки ужасные как по мне, персонаж быстро садится и не может двигаться при попадании пуль по нему, может это реалистично но идея как по мне плохая. Хитбоксы персонажа маленькие и сложно попасть по врагу, в Standoff 2 такого нету, там более удобно.
4.
Комнаты которые создают игроки.
Мне кажется что игра держится только из-за этого, игрокам давно наскучила классика и поэтому они создают комнаты, вот допустим: "No skope rooms, skop-ban", "simon says", " 8vs8 ak-m4" и так далее. Это очень хорошее внедрение в игру но это погубило ее! Старые игроки входят только из-за этого а новые не могут этого понять, и продолжают играть в классику где есть читеры и те игроки о которых я говорил у которых 2 аккаунта. Если новые игрок захочет создать комнату то к нему не зайдут потому что он новичок, и все потому что он не понимает как пользоваться комнатами.
5.
Ситуация в Украине. После ввода санкций на Россию были удалены сервера RU-1-RU-4, очень много игроков ушло после этого, а как я скажу русской аудитории было очень много. А понимаю за что это сделали но из-за такого ушла большая часть игроков. (Я сам с Украины и могу понять почему это).
6.
Разработчики перестали делать новые режимы.
Сейчас только есть 4 режима:
Ранговые игры, обезвреживание, бой насмерть, и ещё режим ( забыл название ). Раньше разработчики делали режимы и мне очень это нравилось, допустим: маньяк, пиратские перестрелки, зимняя перестрелка 3 vs 3 и т.д. и их убрали. Это тоже дало отражение на игру, сотни игроков ушли из игры от такого.
7.
Игра просто наскучила.
Многие игроки просто перешли на компьютерные игры, у меня был один друг, ему было 17 лет тогда и мы играли вместе 2 года, у него появился компьютер и он ушёл из игры, из-за этого я тоже ушёл. Это одна из причин почему игроки уходят, игра просто наскучила, это нормально.
На этом всё, это было моё мнение по этому поводу
(Translate from Russian to English)
I love this game so much, but the skins are so very expensive rn, and when I play my ping is so high.
When I'm old I will remember this along with Donkey Kong, Mario, Hay Day, and war robots..
i remember playing c ops til like 2 am every night with my friend and getting carried to spec i miss this game
Great video. There are some things that weren't adressed or weren't adressed fully, to be honest. But the overall view is there :) maybe I won't talk about those things here cuz I will get quite mad again....
edit: I have inside perspective from "pro" scene and tournament organisations :)
Its not bcs the game gets boring after 7 years critical ops i quit on year 6 but bcs the devs made evrything insanly hard to get even reaching high rank impossible as someone with spec ops skills being stuck on diamond rank bcs ppl were smurfing in partys 1 god player carrying 4 golds and plats and my team was alweys noobs plats and the max rank i got was diamond 4 bcs i had no friends to rank up with or 120 hz phone back then and i was playing 2 fingers it took me like 80 or more rank games to get that diamond 4 alone and there was hacker evry 5th rank game
And forgot to add all my favorite evryday critical ops youtubers quit like ozey, cool mark, twist, roogz, jokesta, ibensuck and more they all quit and i had no one to watch in 2022 critical ops and i just got bored
Nice vídeo Bro, keep grinding 🥊
PC c-ops community was probably one of the best things ive experienced during my childhood and you just had to there.
I love this game man,very great video❤
I would 100% play more if they actually put thought into their skins like in 2017-2019 and change the character models back
I will never forget this game 😢
When i was like 10 i had a great time on this game
I always created custom games to play hide and seek or just chat or do some random shit
ive played this game for years and spent over 200 euro just to get banned because i was using an emulator cuz my phone didnt work, its a very nostalgic game and it will always be in my heart
Most of the players play the game because they have been playing the game for a long time because they think they have a special bound with the game just like me; I was literally just a little kid who was playing the game from his mother’s phone and now I’m 21 years old😂
This video has a very high quality in terms of the improvements which are mostly need to listened by the devs. And also the rank accepting screen idea is just a great idea to avoid ghosters. The hackers thing is can just can solved by the devs with their own anti-cheat systems. And also I literally wathced an official video by C-Ops which they were announcing the molotov bomb and it has been nearly 2 years and nothing has done about that. They are just “improving” the game in their own minds and when you actually listen to community no one ever wants to them to do such updates like they have been making since 2020.
“The game is dead idea” is not really correct but I can clearly see that the player numbers has decreased and this makes the game empty and makes the players want to quit game.
The hackers, the ghosters, the updates that are not necessary are just pull the plug of the game.
Made most of my lifelong bestfriends in this game. C-Ops started to lose its charm when it shutdown its PC port and went full mobile :/ until now i still wish i could play again in my pc
Sorry, this'll be long*.
I think the state of the comp scene also plays a part into this more than other issues.
The period where hackers were infesting the game had ALOT of people quit or get tired of playing which cause organisations and teams to leave, aswell as casual players who contributed to view counts just dropping the game because the game wasn't fun anymore. I remember early on when i was new to the game at some point in 2019 or so every game i joined had ATLEAST 1 hacker in the room running through everyone until the room was empty then theyd move onto the next room and it was basically up to luck if you can pull off 1 game without running into a hacker, this would also extend to professional matches where evey now and then a player in a high tier team was outed for hacking in tourneys. This state of decline in comp environment coupled with lack of interest by the general players made the game sorta stale and unmotivating, even after some hug ban waves occurred it wasn't enough to regain the amount of players lost from then.
But to me it seems the effects of that period persist even today and might be why the growth is slow in this game, obviously other things contributed aswell but this seemed like the trigger thag amplified most of the other issues. Due to the decline in the comp scene there rarely was any team that played seriously anymore and it became kind of a free-for-all with nothing binding anyone to one team. Players constantly joined and left clans which disrupts team chemistry affecting performance, clans constantly disbanded and rebranded so you never knew how long a team would be staying for, snaking and toxicity also still happens amongst teammates straining the teams dynamic and gameplay, and in general cringe stuff along those lines. I'd say alot of these things happen cause the player base is relatively young, 14-17 y.old compared to popular fps games that has mostly young adults playing in comp, who are more mature in general so loyalty and respect are more common there, also orgs did one thing that kept teams together and its contracts. While i wouldn't say they should be implemented with every team as they make things complicated it definitely helped keep things together.
Not enough players remaining, a young immature player pool, lack of general respect and loyalty and also no sense of longevity amongst teams; all these resulted in a lackluster comp scene with messy teams (excluding some who kept it together like RGN), this would cause disinterest for the general player base in comp driving them away from participating or consuming/supporting official competitive content, which of course means less viewers and less sponsorships on tournaments as advertisers have nothing to gain from dropping money into a game noone watches... this results in smaller and smaller prize pools which causes less interest and 0 motivation to play for professional teams -> decreasing competition in the scene making it more boring, so people dont tune in to watch and resulting in less advertisers coming to bring in money causing less and less motivation to play and- you get the point? Its a negative loop that can't fix itself until things just deteriorate and no-one wants to play anymore.
There will always be a casual player base as the game itself is fun enough to be enjoyed for 30-60mins a day without sweating or taking things seriously but without a comp scene or hugeee investments the game isn't getting any reach meaning no new players to replace the ones that left and in turn will end up not generating any income which will sadly, eventually, kill the game for good.
This was just my general observation of the state of this game and im not really good with these things so i honestly don't know how you could fix it but maybe a more professional or serious settings (like implementing contracts as an example) would help fix some cracks that are making things worse.
I really hope the game could pick itself back up because it has alot of potential that isn't fully realized and i think even as it is right now its hugely underrated, I've been playing this game for ~6 years and would really hate to see something i once loved any enjoyed to die a slow and disappointing death without coming to its full potential... Just wanted to get this off real quick sorry for anyone who ended up reading this stupid rant😭
Also thanks hyper for making this video❤ i think the insight from different people and just bringing this topic onto the table was very much needed to bring attention to the situation once more
Also the point of devs not listening constantly comes up, i think they didn't do a good job with understanding the community BACK. IN. THE. DAY.
Nowadays they do a good job imo, they're definitely seeing whats going on in the game but the players are not helping their case by being so negative to every change CF tries to implement, no-one wants to give change a chance.
I didn't finish the video before commenting this but alot of these points came up in the video😭 now my points seem redundant haha
i did not know it was made on my birthday
I've always said that the best period of this game was between 2019-2020, when the recoil of Deagle was fixed. During that time cops was on its peak. In my opinion next changes made it worse, (especially when the developers tried to add heavy armor it was unplayable at all). It would be great if they moved their child to the 2020's level
@@vincentaace4939 i totally agree. Having to hit 8-9 ak shots with that heavy armor was ridiculous.
I haven't touched this game myself in years. I played when there wasn't TDM and just a couple of maps up until 2018 or 2019 where I believe was the time I started getting into CoD Mobile. S3 at that point. Wasn't that bad but I think it may have to do with being a phone player and aiming was a bit complicated. Just thought of seeing what's up with it today.
played this all the time when it first released beta in 2015... if it was still on pc me and a lot more would grind this game
this is a very nice edited video 📸
Honestly awsome video, could we have the music used in the background of the interviews?

@@Hypereyus thanks man
I would like to tell about the player modal. This model has made players hard to differentiate between enemies and teammates. The guns and maps they added are not much used by players. The updates are quite unnecessary. If you guys remember there was an update named "Critical ops remastered". The games downfall started since then. The new maps are extremely hard to play. The players mostly prefer playing in old maps like raid and bureau. The map redesign was good but it made the games popularity go down. I would just like to tell the developers to change the player modal back to the original. Remove useless guns like AR-15 and KSG. I have played this game since 2017. The game was just OP. Jam sad due to the lack of improvisation in Anti cheats and etc.😅
I've been playing this game for a month now because I was just curious, but the game is actually better and more fun than I expected. Although ranked matchmaking in my servers, it is pretty long. For me, there is just something missing in the game, like grindable events, better ui and all of that. There's really nothing to do in the game besdies just "play", and that's what I think the game has fallen off. Lastly, idk if its just me or whenever I log into the game I feel isolated like I just opened Minecraft PE alone for some whatever reason lol.
This game had potential but after they changed the View model is pretty much changed everything it never felt the same.
How to increase the sensitivity in the sight?
