    The reason why we still care about COD to this day is because somewhere deep down we want the next COD to recapture that magic that MW2 and Black Ops had. That's why it hurts so much to see COD in its current state.

      I agree with you but not gonna lie although the multiplayer isn’t great for Modern Warfare 2019 & Black Ops Cold War, the campaign, theme, art design, settings, guns and gunplay, and overall feel are pretty close in those two games.

      @@TheDarkForce187 Oh yeah. I actually really liked BOCW. The story was great, I loved how it kept you second guessing everyone and everything, leading up to the "gotcha" moment at the end with the "we've got a job to do" phrase. It was like learning that Reznov was dead all over again. I liked how it followed in the spirit of the original Black Ops and drew from real world events, although taking a lot more creative liberties. Like Project Greenlight never existed, but was based on so called "greenlight teams" in real life.
      The multiplayer felt like a mashup of BO2 and MW19, and the weapons we got each season were like a greatest hits album of Black Ops history even though they had to take some creative liberties, like the fictional CARV 2 instead of the G3 from BO1. I was skeptical of zombies at first, but I grew to really enjoy the core gameplay loop.
      That's not to say that BOCW was without it's problems. There was a serious content drought through much of its life cycle, especially near release with only like 6 multiplayer maps. There were tons of bugs, some of which persist to this day, and the MW style matchmaking and EBMM really sucks. It feels like it had a lot of ideas that were good on paper but not so good in practice. That's why it hurts so much, because I feel like BOCW had a lot of potential and could have been so much better if it had more development time and a few gameplay changes.

    This game carries the most nostalgia for me personally. My dad passed this year due to covid, and one of my favorite memories of him was when I was younger, and he let me stay home from school so that we could attend the midnight release of this game. I tried the multiplayer first and when I switched to zombies at 2am, the way the menu changed into that creepy atmosphere made me decide to save zombies for the morning. 😅 My dad got me the prestige edition with the RC-XD and metal game case. He spoiled me, and helped me nurture my love for gaming to what it is now, and I'll always appreciate that. RIP dad. Thanks for being awesome!

The water matches was brilliant I have no clue why it didnt stick around. It's the only cod I ever played the campain multiple times, got higher than like 3rd or 4th prestige (got that 15 in bo1), and the amount of hours spent in zombies trying to do Easter eggs, beat my round 88 on kino or 115 on ascention with the same few guys all night most nights. and then that George Romero map used to get us all pissed off because George alwaya got us all glitched out and kicked from the game on high rounds

    One thing that BO1 has over every other game, is how well the shine on gun's feels. Gold ACTUALLY looks like gold. The chrome on the 1911 is iconic in how sexy it looks. And the dual wield reload on the 1911's is pure spectacle.
    On top of that, the campaign took major steps forward in storytelling (first voiced protag and all) with amazing voice actors, gripping moments and a great story.

Nowadays everyone watches like 3 guys that read the patch notes that tell everyone what to play for the next couple weeks and what tricks to use, spots and routes to use.

      A remake is taking the core of the game and trying it on the newest or different engine with adding whole new game mechanics and change missions completely.

    The way they used real life history made me fall in love with this game. I was 10 when i played black ops, i didn’t have an Xbox but my cousin did. When ever we would sleep over we’d spend all night playing black ops together. I was terrible at the game but i had so much fun. I remember making what we called “celebration sandwiches “ when we’d sleep over.. they were just sandwiches but they held a special meaning. It was to celebrate our “boys night”. We would usually play after getting back from spending hours at the pool. When the sun came down and night fell is when we would automatically start playing zombies. I used to get shivers just listening to the main menu music. It was terrifying, yet it filled me with joy to play. Again i was complete ass and we would barely scratch round 10. So when i was able to reach round 16 on my own i was showing it off to my friends for weeks. Good times..simpler times.. i really wish i could relive those days one more time.

    Also not only did BO1 have an amazing main menu interface (probably my favorite main menu ever), but the music for the main menu (the ambient low tones giving you a feeling of mystery and disorientation less music, more immersion, the multiplayer music being that motivational badass score with the violins getting you ready to jump in and start mowing down enemies, god the multiplayer music is so nostalgic and perfect, and lastly the zombies music, DAMNED, that was so impactful it became a staple of treyarch zombies as it stayed through multiple games, perfectly encapsulating that hopeless dreadful feeling of zombies (along with the menu screen where you go from a normal interrogation view, to that red hue, and the interrogator banging on the glass, you’re making a horrible choice and something is wrong, as that piano kicks in and it’s preparing you for the horror that is to come if you chose to continue into zombies. The menu and on top of that, the music (and complete soundtrack in general) was perfect and what solidified black ops 1 as an amazing and dare I say perfect game, it’s one of those that it doesn’t matter how old it gets I’ll still come back to it, and can play any mode whether it’s beating the campaign, playing against bots in multiplayer, or hopping back into Kino der Toten to shit myself and have the time of my life

    I personally am a fan of Infinity Wards map design philosophy. I like asymmetrical power positions and spots of cover and I love the sheer complexity of their maps. It takes me actual days of wandering around a map and experimenting in order for me to feel like I've mastered those specific maps. And even then I miss some things and I can discover new weird angles and lines of sight even years down the line because there's just so much. Sadly, not a lot of people feel the same. Lots of people prefer simple, 3-lane and symmetrically built maps with no real power positions and good flow.
    Black ops 1 maps I feel were the only maps to offer both simplicity and complexity. They were simple on the service as you said but there were always quirks of the maps you could discover, which didn't necessarily give you a massive advantage, but it made mastering the maps worth it. For example I nearly shat myself when I discovered you could get under the truck on array located at the D3 grid (check the map). You could just go prone and slither backwards right under the truck from the side. Again, not a massive advantage but I had lots of playing Michael Myers with my friends. Or the fact that the patches of seaweed on crisis perfectly concealed a ghillie suited sniper watching over the ladder that led up the top of the rock, waiting for some poor sap to climb right up into their reticule.
    Speaking of snipers, the sniper balance was handled the best in Black Ops 1, I only have one or two minor nitpicks with it. That says a lot.

    One of the biggest reasons this game was so fun was the fact that so many of us would fail an algebra test in last period of school and immediately come home and play this game. Being 22 now, I am sad of how fun and simpler those times were. Nothing to worry about besides playing these games. Now there is so much more involving life and it is way more complicated. Whenever I was younger I wished I was older. Now I wish I was back in this era again playing with the boys. We love you Ch0p! Thanks for everything man

    The greatest COD of all time imo. Best campaign and storyline, multiplayer has fucking amazing maps, balanced weapons, kill streaks, and pro perk system done well, and the zombies is one of the best Treyarch has to offer. Just an amazing all-around experience, and I love the kind of spy/psychological-thriller vibe, not only in the campaign, but how it extends to the other modes, with zombies being based off conspiracy theories. Imo it’s refreshing after sitting through BO3 and 4’s inter-dimensional timelines and weird backtracking plot lines.
    BO2 is right there with BO1, but I give BO1 the slight edge, maybe due to a bit of nostalgia/personal bias. BO2 is another one I grew up with, and I love the multiplayer to death, and the zombies is better than BO1, but I just love the vibes of BO1 along with my personal memories on it.

They’re beautifully designed, have an amazing learning curve, and I’ve noticed the same thing as Chopper: experienced players are heavily rewarded. There’s so many sight lines and spots that I know so well that new players don’t, and it gives me a huge advantage.
      For zombies I give a slight edge to BO2. I think BO2 wins out just because Mob and Origins are so fucking good. Buried as well. The second half of BO2 is amazing.

      But the Cold War era in BO1, the setting, color palette, dialogue, and overall story is just way better.
      It's not nostalgia. That era is way more relatable for us as it's a piece of our actual history. We've been educated thoroughly(some of us) about it growing up.
      So we relate easiest with that era.
      The future setting broke a lot of the immersion BO1 had.

But it was the same time I learnt about the cold war and the Vietnam war in history class. Overtime I started to build so much love for this game and everything I hated in the beginning were things I love now. Maybe... this game is even better than MW2 at least on the same level.

    I remember the day I got my black ops 1. I was 12 years old. I had xbox 360 without live, so I had to play campaign, offline mp against bots or 1v1 with friend and Kino Der Toten. I've probably played the campaign for hundreds of times. I remember that I literally explored every single place and pixel in the campaign, and I always tried to do something different on every playthrough. Prefiring and prenading places where I knew enemies would be, trying my hardest to avoid scripted deaths and cutscenes etc. I loved the characters, I loved the stroy, I loved everything.
    BO1 will forever be the top 1 game on my lists.
