Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has been a wild ride for me full of highs and lows. I wanted to take some time off to do a final review and criticism of this past year of Modern Warfare. I talk about 6v6 multiplayer, Warzone, Ground War, Campaign, and even CO-OP!

Bodies flying through the air after getting murdered by an airstrike has never looked better in any videogame
I still get a kick out of that too.
Cough cough battlefield cough cough
@Defy dang i feel bad for u
@Defy you never played battlefield before...
LOL wrong, waw was better cuz there was gore
The only things that ruined MW for me was the SBMM and the camping.
Sbmm didn't bother me at all. Never does though. I like having to sweat a little in casual lobbies. I am definitely the exception though.
@@antanis not every game tho
@@Foxtrot_Vetmeh, if I don't want to sweat I play standard. Hardcore is sweat every game. The variety I get having to adapt to different playstyles is enough for me. Besides, even with strict sbmm I'll have exceptionally awful games where I bomb and games where I absolutely plaster my opponents.
@@Han-bw5zn I don't think balance as far as weapons go is really that much worse than it ever is at launch. Even with the sbmm I go positive with off meta weapons all the time. Cross play always gives snipers a buff and makes them hard to balance but that's been an issue since before cod went cross play on pc.
Modern warfare felt better in every way for me online. Gunplay, maps, sound. Sbmm didn't and still doesn't bother me.
@@antanis grau,mk2,kar98,bruen,mp5,mp7,ram7, the new lmg I think the name is fin, R700. I think thats a lot of too strong weapon but I gotta say it has a lot of weapon.
The warzone came out during the peak of the pandemic. In my opinion, playing that all night with my friends is one of the big memories from this year.
Same bro, whenever we look back in the past this is the game that saved 2020 for me
that really made me realize how long this pandemic has been going on for..
100% agree
Same
No it didnt
I’m staying on mw another year this is the first cod since aw advanced warfare that I can actually play more than 2 matches without getting bored af
Me too mw 2019 rules
Bo3?
@@kdaley7_ bo3 wasn’t bad zombies was my main joy from it however multiplayer wasn’t bad
This is probably one of those games that we’ll look back and think how much potential this game actually had
So much potential.... Trash maps and sbmm ruined it
@Blue MW is the spiritual successor to ghost it’s very similar in game design and how player played
@Blue Ghosts was trash tho. Unlike MW.
couldnt have been said better
I will probably get angry because IW threw so much potential in the trashcan just to make sure little timmys make some kills
When driftor talks about ground war he forgets the cancer that is promenade
Oh yeah. That map is cross-map sniping hell and JOKR spam maximised
Just thinking about promenade put a look of pure anguish on my face
And people trying to get JOKR nukes on that one spot on Zhokov Boneyard
@@agent-ox5he yup
@@TheIVX it makes me want to cry, especially if I'm on allegiance, the map is literally designed to make it easier for coalition to win as they don't have to run though a street to get to c
Imagine what that game could have been without skillbased matchmaking in causal gamemodes but in a ranked playlist. It would have lifted the CoD franchise onto the next level
and staying in the same lobby. It's pointless to stay in a game where you join and your team is down... can't redeem yourself the next match if lobby always switches
On PC it’s so good and smooth none of that matters
And voting for maps
I honestly believe that without SBMM this game would have been very high on people’s list.
People always say they want a game similar to the original MW’s. The thing is this is close to the original that everyone holds highly. As Drift0r said with the maps: “we said we like that, but we really like...” That’s how I feel this game has been. Everyone begging for games like CoD4 but then when they do things similar to it we hate it.
Times change, people’s tastes change, and sometimes the older things aren’t what you remember them to be. Just my take though
@@jaraldoe I don't really agree with his take on that though. Yes, they went a bit closer to CoD4 with the maps but he didn't consider that this game is designed to play VERY differently than CoD4. The radar was different back then and encouraged more movement than MW 2019. Nobody and I mean NOBODY ran UAV jammer because everyone wanted Stopping Power or Jugg. The game just plays more slowly. This is evidenced by maps like Crash. I've got almost 40 days in CoD4 and I promise you that map did not play this slowly back then. So you can't really draw the conclusion that we say we like that but really don't, because in terms of gameflow MW is vastly different from CoD4, even if the maps are kinda similar.
Honestly no 1 can deny that MW19 brought CoD back to the top again, it’s also what brought me back to the franchise after it hit rock bottom so badly. You hate to love it, but love to hate it, this game is camper friendly yet I rarely ran into campers in my 15 almost 16 days of in game play time (a lot were on shoot the ship, almost 90+% so thats why I didn’t run into them lol).
This game has such a good base with weapons, animations, mtx, cross-play, etc.
For their next game literally all they have to do is have better base maps, regular mini map and tone down sbmm. Just keep the core aspects the same
@@bradenmchenry995 exactly and not make the came so beginner-friendly (e.g. nerf ghost)
True I just wish they listened more about fixing ghost, dead silence as a perk etc but yea hugeee step forward for graphics and gun animations

Cold War: *released*
Modern Warfare to Warzone: Okay son this is your next father figure, good luck.
Cold War is the abusive father of warzone now
Modern Warfare made and live for warzone and cold war be like haha overuse warzone go brrrr
Modern Warfare 2019 is CoD game that wasn't made for CoD players.
This sentence describes MW perfectly well
It feels like they tried to make Insurgency but realized with 3 months left in development that they had to make a CoD game and the current prototype didn’t appeal to anyone, casual or hardcore
i feel like you're framing this as a bad thing but i think this is a compliment
@@WORKINGONCRYING very realistic with operators carrying 10kg lmgs and 50kg worth of ammo while running at mach 5 while getting shot in the stomach with a 7.62 lmao
Because cod players cant imagine not stomping noobs who downloaded the game 5 minutes ago. Sometimes the cod fanbase is braindead
The thing that ruined the mp for me is these two things combined
1. The design philosophy,
that being protecting new players by sacrificing the pacing of matches by giving them a slight edge over skilled players by giving them mechanics and gameplay changes that promotes staying still. Such as mounting, amplified footsteps, ghost working without having to move, the mini map changes, the map design having several head glitches, loads of lines of sight and a ton of buildings and corners to camp. I have nothing against protecting new players but sacrificing the pace of the game is not the way to do it.
2. Strict SBMM
This makes no sense as all the gameplay changes intended to help new players against more skilled players I just mentioned are completely pointless as skilled players aren’t going to be playing against new players anyway. What ends up happening is they get into sweaty lobbies with players using these mechanics and changes intended for new players which just ends up slowing down the gameplay. Also strict SBMM in casuals is awful since if you’re really good and host with a friend who’s really bad they will have an awful time in your sweaty lobbies but if your bad friend hosts you’ll essentially be reverse boosting.
I’m not trying to take away from anyone who enjoys the game I’m glad you enjoy it. I’m also not trying to diminish the great things it’s done for the franchise like the monetisation system but just for me personally the multiplayer is weak and I really didn’t enjoy it. Feel free to disagree with my opinion.
Wirtual Wobody
Bingo
Well said
The game goes both ways tho. And it does not at all protect casuals or new players at all lol. The game mechanics serve both ways now the thing that ruined MW was the SBMM. I couldn’t play and stopped playing MW because I would have people IN EVERY LOBBY having 100% accuracy running the most try hard SMG class while jump/drop shooting around the corner. It was just unbelievable and as for the “spec ops” well it wasn’t spec ops the missions were impossible and it was just wave after wave after wave of enemy spam.
Leaning around corners, loud foot steps, uav jammer, head glitches, lots of multi-level buildings and corners were all in cod4. Seeing as this is a reboot of the modern warfare series it only makes sense to being all of that back.
(Leaning/Mounting on Cod4 PC: ua-cam.com/video/0QYpVsdQfGg/v-deo.html, this has been in all cod games on PC)
@@115zombies935 people need to stop saying that. Cod 4 doesnt have every map having 90 lines of sight from buildings and footsteps louder than c4 explosions. Cod 4 is and will always be fundamentally different than me 2019...and for that reason it is and always will be 100% a better cod game
"it's like battlefield, but with call of duty killstreaks and gunplay."
*Everybody who played Homefront in 2011 collectively rolls eyes*
That game was SO hyped up. Man you just unlocked a memory I forgot about🤣
@@WhatYouMeanNo sad thing is, Homefront still did it better than cod and battlefield v. 😂😂😂
Homefront multiplayer was SO GOOD.
Homefront’s multiplayer is still severely under appreciated! The campaign tho.......
1 single lonely tear rolls down xNasaOne's face
This is the first COD I've played from when it launched to when next years version launched, non stop without a break. I usually burn out on COD about 3 to 6 months after launched. Not this time. Damn good game.
I used to run 4 stacks in ground war and we always defconned or nuked, a few sweats could win no matter what, 4 advanced uavs in a row on ground war won games
As a long time cod fan this game feels as if it’s an necessary evil. It has great parts to it like the graphics and the gun sounds etc. But core 6v6 gameplay which should be a staple in cod (not the br) was lacking. Awful base maps, melty guns and being punished for moving ruined this game for me. I’m thankful that this game brought cod back to the mainstream though. This game had the potential to be great but fell flat because of the catering to the casual players rather than rewarding good ones.
I started playing from season 4
The game just didn't want me to move for some reason. Rushing in the game is very fustrating.
Well that’s COD for you, it has always catered to the casual and never will change.
Why do you think it’s so popular?
I mean it's still a great game, if you have problems with campers you can just play objective modes. Hardpoint is so fun in mw
I feel the opposite way. This game in no way favored the casual player.
Lol. I don't think that most players who started CoD with MW2019 gonna play Cold War. Or at least won't stick for long.
Also, points about Ground War really show you're a CoD player. "No player can turn the tide by himself". Dude, that's the whole point of team-oriented large scale games like BF and this is why BF can live without SBMM just fine.
Exactly. I don't understand why discouragement of individualism is a downside. I enjoyed mw very much, and l did preorder cold war after l saw zombie trailer. I thought its multiplayer is great as well after l played beta. Man, the tank in that game is so great. It is even tankier after l put trophy system on it. I just hope that game will have more field upgrade added such as ammo box. That would make armada so fun to play.
I started in MWR but MW was my first multiplayer cod and i can definitely say im not going to play cold war multiplayer much because something just dosent fell right with the game but i am going to be playing zombies becuase i have heard that trearch makes the best zombie games
And his point about the tanks? I totally disagree. The tanks were fairly simple to take out if you just swapped classes to a rocket for one respawn, maybe 2. And having more than one person on a team decide they want to get rid of the tank makes them a non-issue. Tanks in ground war are easier to take out than in battlefield.
I have been playing CoD since MW2, BO4 and Cold War will be the only titles I haven't pre-ordered and likely won't play at all.
Of course they're not going to stick around. The new players love all the things that MW stole from other games like BF and PUBG, not the things that make COD great. It's unfortunate that IW and activision use all their resources on attracting players that are never going to enjoy a normal COD game when they could be making games to please the people that actually like COD games.
I disagree with GW being better than BF CQ, but each to their own
Mans lost his damn mind
He's insane. CQ is all out war perfection. I'm a BF player at heart, and GW is my least played mode in this game. It's awful!
@@FEWGEE1 I just feel like Battlefield knows what it's doing at this point, despite its flaws. There is the longer TTK, the more varied weapons for different ranges, bigger maps (especially this), and of course vehicles are somewhat kept in check by weapons *and* other vehicles.
And I don't really get his point about the gunplay being much better in MW. Smoother, maybe, but also more arcadey and forgiving.
Lol he’s not wrong. The community of BF5 are pissed with dice with how they dropped the ball with updates. The gameplay wasn’t good anymore. They hopped over to warzone/groundwar. How I know? I played BF5 to for a half year.
A few years from now I know I'll be nostalgic about the countless nights I stayed up with friends playing Cyber Attack. I feel like it doesn't get a lot of recognition, but that mode hooked all of my friends and I, and we have had some pretty awesome experiences this past year playing it. It brought a new dynamic to S&D that I hope isn't forgotten in future titles to come
Ah what I'd give to be young again. That's beautiful man I hope you cherish those memories.
I know I’m late here, but i feel the same, CA hooked me and my friends too and it’d be a shame to lose this mode.
Cyber attack was such a good and underrated gamemode, hope they add it to Cold War
@@carmelosalinas8256 for 1000 percent sure
I couldn't imagine playing warzone without leveling up on the multi-player of MW.
I didn't have MW and started on Warzone.
I just did plunder on double XP token and in 2 hours. You have a loadout ready.
The only really bad thing about warzone only progression is that unlocking new guns that are not on the season pass can be literally impossible
Ace is still earning base gun cammos, LOL.
I do not have the Grau unlocked because if this..
She rides the night koo name first off so u play modern warfare to get like new gun or cod points or what ever in warzone ? So it’s like worth’s it to get this game if u wanna rip warzone even harder Is what ur saying ?
Worst COD I’ve ever played in my lifetime as far as base MP goes. I usually stick around the whole year but this game was deleted off my HD the day after season 1 and has never made a return on my console. Can’t really speak for Warzone because I’ve never played but frankly I don’t play COD for BR so it’s irrelevant to me. On to Cold War and never look back.
So what was it that killed the game for you from MP?
@@heyimalex4638 Awful maps and spawn system, hated officer ranks, TTK way too fast, mediocre BP rewards, new maps were just cut down from the BR map, opening and closing doors function. That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.
@@heyimalex4638 too restrictive, made you play like a noob
@@BranRome14 All that plus super loud footsteps with no Dead Silence perk, inane call outs, the Safe Space mentality of the devs, punishing aggressive players while rewarding campers.
Hey, Driftor... I'm honestly genuinely curious to hear you explain this.
You clearly said that the release maps were "Call of Duty 4 style maps", but people didn't like them, which showed the community didn't actually want the game to be like "that" (I presume "like COD4"). Yet as someone who still plays COD4 on PC to this day on TDM, FFA, SnD and the odd Domination server I can find, not only do I think the release MW2019 maps could not possibly have any less to do with the COD 4 maps design wise (other than the "power positions" buzzword, admittedly), you immediately cited that maps that two maps that were added later in the game's life, Shipment and Vacant - literally two COD4 maps - were way more popular with the community.
Something went wrong with this thought process somewhere.
Yeah that part confused me as well. I didn't feel maps that came out were similar to COD 4. My more favorite MP maps are the ones they reintroduced, like Vacant. By the way, do you play ProMod or regular?
@@celebrate__ Nah, I'm not into ProMod. Nothing against it, just not my thing is all.
I feel like everyone is skipping over the massive file size this game had which really made you question if it warranted being downloaded and kept for a lot of people.
everytime there was an update, I had to delete a game. Lul. I Was very happy to delete it on Friday when I purchased Cold War.
What about cold war?!
Meanwhile bf1 taking up 220gbs on my hard drive
GW is better then BF CQ? GW is basically just a cheap knock-off of CQ.
I believe he’s referring to GW being better than CQ in BF’s latest title. BF5 was considered a major failure and tbf it never hit the heights that BF1 did which is a shame. So much potential.
@@thelifeofjames8596 bf5 is still better than mw as a whole despite its issues
@@IceKloneEnjoyer as a whole game or just comparing CQ and GW?
Bf 4 is considerably better than ground war in terms of stability and balance
Man said the gun play was better in ground war then battlefield , which makes me think he’s never played a title like bf3 or even 4 . The movement in cod is superior yes but there isn’t a shot cod has better gun play
I feel that the engine is great. The movement and gameplay feels natural. Cold war and ww2 just feel more awkward and unenjoyable because of movement. I can't quite explain why. It feels, idk, rugged?
When I first started playing this game, I thought it was one of the best CoDs ever. I'm not as positive now.
That's not to say I hate everything. How consumer friendly it is is wonderful and a great change for the franchise. The gunplay is really good and fun.
It's the maps. I cannot stand the maps in this game. Shoothouse and Shipment are the highlights for me and that's really sad. I really struggle to think of any maps I enjoy. The last CoDs I played frequently before this were AW and BO3. I know they weren't the best, though I found them incredibly fun, but they had great maps. The maps were so good in those games and there were maybe 2 or 3 from each I didn't like. And the fact that the maps in this game are so bad, and that the worst maps seem to come up most often, has mostly ruined the multiplayer for me. If the maps were just average, this game would be a lot higher for me.
I absolutely dislike almost every aspect of these MW2019 maps, the ONLY good map to come of it was Shoothouse, and that is only because its harder to be campy. I think the thing that really sealed the deal for me with the map designs was how the game design clashed with it so hard. The amount of stupid corners you can sit in with ghost and not move a muscle and still not show up on UAV's, while sitting behind a barrier that you set up ala Rainbow Six Siege, is disgusting. This game catered to the kid that spawns in and finds the closest corner and sits.
@@DEATHCUTIONER shoot house is good because it's a traditional 3 lane map
@@DEATHCUTIONER Even Shoothouse isn't immune. Almost every game there's people on the concrete or camping in the office. What makes it worse is that it's fairly easy to spawn camp on the map. With people behind the cars in the junkyard, on the concrete, and in the office, it makes it incredibly difficult to leave the shantytown side some games.
That being said, I would say it and Shipment are the least bad in the game when it comes to camping.
Yeah, at least I kind of enjoyed the old school map playlists since it made me not play the bad maps, but they don't feel that great in this game
@@DEATHCUTIONER This is the main reason why I never bought this game. The maps in BFV are trash too and turned me off from online multiplayer in general.
Skill based matchmaking absolutely killed this game’s multiplayer 100% Warzone was pretty good though and was likely the only thing that brought people back to it.
Man I hear that all the time for MP, I think your either playing the wrong mode or you are just not as good as you think (no offense) I drop stupid amounts of kills on a ton of maps using some of the worst weapons and I’m like not seeing any dip in how I do, I might get a lobby full of sweats where I have to try so hard to go positive but overall I love the MP.
@@Coltboy00 That's the point I dont want to have to sweat a while match just cuz I had a good game before that especially in gamemodes like search and destroy and I'm not bad at this game either I usually drop 20 kill games in search pretty much every other match
@@Coltboy00 That is extactly the point! There is no difference in bad gun, bad attachments, bad plays to good ones as long as you stick to these weapons and your playstyle long enough. Not very long, 5 games are about enough. There is no point to be good. When I grinded riot shield obsidian and weapon master challenges, I got multiple 10+ killstreaks. If you switched from a bad weapon to a good one, in the first game you are guaranteed to have like 5+ KD and perhaps 100+ kills if you are playing domination or hardpoint. I just rush very hard and I don't want to intensionally reverse boost tho technically I have to in order to use bad weapons and get Damascus and other things. For more "strategic" players getting a nuke is not a problem, which means the system is so easy to be abused. Obviously for the other way, if you switched from your normal game to a troll setup, the first game will be impossible. In the future games you will perform well not because you learned this troll setup better, but the lobbies become WAY easier.
Yeah SBMM helped grinding, but one grinds riot shield better not cuz he learned riot shield tricks better, but cuz he died more so the system put him in easier lobbies. This is counter intuitive.
@@Coltboy00 And forgot the impotant point. SBMM is so predictable. After a good game it is almost guaranteed I will be screwed up in the next game (if it doesn't happen it will happen at the game after the next one), at least sweat hard to perform relatively good. Performing well makes me don't want to play but getting beaten up makes me excited. This happens to all who do challenges and who don't do challenges and just play the game, and is stupid.
No such thing as SBMM
Warzone is not Modern Warfare. Modern Warfare was a failure, using Warzone to say it wasn't is dishonest.
It's completely standalone and it's free, tying a leveling system into the paid game does not make them the same game.
As much as MW: 2019 was a step in the right direction in a lot of ways, the multiplayer was completely butchered by the map design, gameplay design (for the camping noobs), lack of map voting, and sbmm in casual modes making "casual gaming" basically impossible...
I had a lot of fun playing the multiplayer it's better than cold war
Can’t have a good game without good maps. That is the fundamental base of a good cod multiplayer experience. MW doesn’t have good maps overall.
the game isn't just mp m8
It has great maps,but few predictable 3 lane "play 4 matches to learn the whole map" traditional Cod maps.
Watch how you'll be saying you miss it an year later. I don't even own the game or played MP but the COD community is obvious.
Imo all a cod (or any fps game really) needs to be good is good connections, good gunplay and good maps, everything else is inconsequential
unpopular opinion: Cheshire Park is a good map if u remove that stupid 2nd floor area overlooking the street. not saying it’s the best, but it’s hell of a lot better than...Piccadilly...god I hate that map
I'm not sure how fair it is to rate Modern Warfare this heavily on Warzone.
that's just logical
Warzone was the main reason MW had any leverage. The campaign was good, the multiplayer was downright awful, and Spec Ops was half asked.
I mean it was made by the same people and uses all the elements from modern warfare (half the areas are either ground war maps or in spec ops missions) and most people leveled up their stuff for warzone in mp so it's pretty fair
@@Nikkerman but its tittle "modern warfare" not the "MW spin off free battleroyal forced in your 60$ purchase" review...its fine to like the game mode better but its not modern warfare
i like how xclusive ace did his review, he counted warzone as a separate game and that makes sense. Since warzone coming back in cold war and probably future titles it makes sense that it wouldnt be counted part of the game that you paid 60$ to get
MW19 brought me back into COD after quite a long hiatus. Sure the game had(s) it’s problems, but. I really really enjoyed it. This is definitely still my GOTY even for 2020.
The base multiplayer IMO doesn’t even feel like a COD game, super slow paced, campy maps with very loud footsteps. Even Scumpy said this is the worst 6v6 multiplayer COD ever lol. Longtime UA-camrs like ThemarkofJ and blametruth didn’t even post a single video of it. War zone carried this game so hard it’s ridiculous.
Clearly they did a lot right speaking it’s the most successful CoD game of all time with an estimated over 30 million copies sold. You don’t sell that much if your game sucks
Blame truth is just a crybaby half the time
@@MacTac141 bc warzone carried it lol
@@AK-dm6bf warzone is free 😂 the game wasn’t the best no but it was good enough that it sold copies
@@MacTac141 a lot of new fans from warzone and fans of the amazing visuals. However this doesn’t feel like a cod game at all it’s probably my least favourite multiplayer ever
This CoD was probably the most innovative title in the series in recent years. From sound design, to gunplay and animations and so much more. It felt like a truly authentic game. You could tell the developers put their heart and soul into this.
Too bad the brain dead cod community is always changing their minds on what they want for the next cod. Which is why I’m kinda glad that infinity ward never really listened to the community just cuz the community cry so much about everything
That's about the only good things about this game
@@damiangarcia1997 When has the COD community ever changed its mind about what they wanted the next COD game to be? They've always wanted a fast-paced boots on the ground COD game with good weapon balancing and limited to no SBMM. It was the people that didn't like COD that complained that the games were too similar and too unrealistic.
@@CerealKiller2 well opinions are divided about that. But a large player base does not think so.
@@CerealKiller2 half the time, the community contradicts its self in what they want.
Give them arcade style shooter: “waaaaah. It’s the same game again every year”
Give them more tactical shooter: “ waaaah. It’s too campy. I can’t run around with no logic”
The cod community as always been so indecisive about what they want and the fact that other gamers have praised this game more than its own community says a lot lmao
I think Warzone, cross play, the gunsmith and overall feel of the game (animations etc.) makes this the most fun COD I’ve played since MW2.
But this might also be the least fun 6v6 COD I’ve played. Traditional multiplayer just feels grindy, tedious and frustrating. I only play multiplayer to unlock camos/attachments for Warzone. And even then, unless shipment 24/7 is available, I’d rather not play at all because the camo challenges are obnoxious on any other map.
True, playing on shipment and shoot house helped in me unlocking everything for my guns
I had the opposite experience. I usually love BR games but really couldn't get into warzone. However I really enjoyed multiplayer and GW which gave me the most enjoyment since BO2. So I guess to each his own, but multiplayer feels great to me.
I think now it has better maps to play. Its ol
Its ok
I feel bad for people who don’t play search and destroy or warzone in this game
This is my first year were I constantly play SnD and it’s just to fun, I like how people are too toxic and how u can flex a 5 v 1
This is probably my favorite game for search besides bo2
SnD is the only mode i ever play, played over 3k matches in SnD atm😅 Sadly SnD is kinda ruined by the join in matchmaking where you join a losing side and lose you get a loss unlike the other mode where there is a mechanic that prevents you from getting a loss. Makes it hard to get a high W/L ratio
@@flyingmanforfun who cares about W/L ratio wtf😂😂
This was honestly the first CoD in years I'd religiously played since the og Modern Warfare trilogy.
If 2021 is gonna be this Modern Warfare's sequel, I'm so ready.
Me a couple weeks ago: modern warfare is the worst game ever
Me after Cold War came out: ehh modern warfare isn’t so bad
Gah, hearing the final "drift0r out" for modern warfare made be a little sad ngl 😢 all in all MW 2019 was easily the best COD in years and I personally had an insane amount of FUN playing which I think for most people has to be the most important part. I WANT TO THROW OUT A HUGE THANK YOU TO DRIFT0R HERE!! Bro I wouldn't go as far as saying you single handedly did it but I certainly feel like your loud and well spoken distaste for anti consumer tactics really helped push for these major changes that were made, and that is just so so important. Before the game launched I distinctly remember you talking about how you would leave COD forever because it had gotten so bad. Not saying it was the "threat" of that at all, but pointing it out because look at where we are now compared to where this franchise was headed! Amazing! Game on friends :)
in regards to the campaign my only issue would be that there were less levels, felt too short and it felt a bit rushed to get to the ending, levels took 10-12 minutes to complete whereas in other campaigns they took around 15-20 minutes. first time i sat down i played through the entire thing and it took about a day, gameplay was phenomenal but hopefully they have a longer game in cold war
Hopefully IW and Activision can keep this same vibe, but improving on the faults for the next MW
MW 2019 truly brought CoD back to the very top of the gaming world.It is a pioneer to the future of CoD.
C+ from me.
The pacing of the game felt more like Rainbow Six than it did CoD, and it made multiplayer either boring or frustrating. Warzone is good but multiplayer is CoD's bread and butter. If that isn't fun, then it seriously brings the game down.
Totally disagree, R6S's pacing is less than half that of MW's. MW provided an excellent balance between attachment/weapon choice and mobility.
Pretty much. The whole MW multiplayer felt so sweaty thx to its SBMM and people who try hard in lobbies everytime.
@@syd_jzx100 but provided horrible match-making thx to SBMM so every lobby was cod leagues
An unrealistic version of rainbow six
Just shows how you have never played Rainbow Six.
The campaign was waaayyy more tame than what the journalists and YTers had me believed. I honestly found nothing extreme about it
So true
What kind of killed it for me is the fictional setting. If they made it Iraq or Iran it would’ve been way more immersive for me. Also the gameplay in some the missions was so boring.

Campaign was really good best since iw
@@Paralyzed-rm6vc Sure, it was good. But I was expecting something more shocking than what it was
What ever happened to Clan Wars or Hosting 2v2 Tournaments (in private match)? I’m still waiting
They do have 2v2 tournaments😂
They do 2v2 tournaments every season and every now and then 3v3

The issue is that this new generation of cod players are never gonna actually learn how to be good because they are just stuck in the safe space lobbies lmao
Modern Warefare’s graphic performance is waaaay better than cold war.
I may be an outlier, but I absolutely adore MW multi-player. The guns, movement, gunplay, weight, animations, and killstreaks are all spot on for me. My only gripe are the maps. Probably only liked a quarter of them and found only half bearable.
Ground war doesn’t even begin to hold a candle to battlefield but the rest is pretty spot on
@Just your average Warrior of god and that games like 10 years old, lol
Yea I was like he haven’t truly played battlefield 😂
I will forever remember Modern Warfare 2019. I didn't like everything about it, but after giving it some thought I think this was my second favourite COD game after Blacks Ops 1.
Same way I feel
Exactly brotha
I came back to it when they put other maps in the game and started enjoying it more
@@mcdelloboy same
I skipped this one. Should I buy it?
If the sbmm was not so strong I think people would have a different opinion on this game.
The people who have issues with sbmm in this game are a very loud minority overall. Squad spawning was the worst thing about this game.
Yeah, when ur forced to 1v6 every match you can never really enjoy the game. Since you're always tilted.
Honestly this is the first cod in a long time that I don't see myself completely moving on from after the new one comes out.
Fr, I loved this game
gunsmith, voicechat interaction again, warzone , crossplay. favorite features about MW
Soooo apex legends is something you will definitely love
Something that really grinded my gears was the spawns in multiplayer. The spawns are absolutely broken.
Shoot house has reached a legendary cod map status imo
Better than Nuketown imho
On the top the real rust from mw2
Why is no one talking about speedball, that map will forever be a 1v1 icon
3/10 would uninstall again
The sbmm and the maps ruined the game for me I have less than 4 days played before I deleted the game.the only good thing was warzone until the hackers show up is a D- for me.
Total game breakers:
1) total disbanding of lobbies
2) insane overload of vehicles in ground war
3) horrible server rates on anything but core
4) bizarre map design, hardpoint and hq were usually a chore of controller breaking and pointless running with nothing but campy 1 window out of a 100 type combat. That's not a match for the pace of the game modes.
5) broken, glitchy, wrong, error after error
6) bizarre inconsistent audio
7) some useless and horrible streaks
8) no true ranked, just scammy sbmm
Not to touch warzone's death flaws..
Also, a massive portion of my deaths are accompanied by those packet indicators from enemies which seem to mean they're on wifi. Maybe it's time to filter wired players. I barely finished the year on a game I thought would be greatest ever. Also they trashed realism by constantly meshing it as night modes. Night was niche, realism was supposed to be a new go to to address issues with hardcore.
Otherwise, beautiful and epic game, but, well that's a nearly insurmountable otherwise. Only decents are gunfight and warzone.
Dont forget the mini map... no red dot when firing an unsuppressed weapons is my biggest issue along with disbanding lobbies and sbmm
But other than that the game has been really fun
You are right SBMM did ruin a lot of things.
Xclusive ace hit the nail on the head Modern Warfare 2019 multiplayer doesn't play like a call of duty game
Black ops 4 multiplayer didn’t play like a cod game
@@wilcoxtam810 more than MW. Despite it having really bad monetization, BO4’s MP was so much better than MW’s.
@@SirDeViouslyHandsomestDude bo4 is a marvel as far as I’m concerned. Superhero stuff
@@wilcoxtam810 so play barebones
Because apparently COD4 COD2 and MW2 are not Call of Duty games.
Kill satisfaction is the best I have ever experienced in this game than any cod.getting kills streaks is the best buzz. I played all cod’s since cod4 and I think mw:2019 is the best cod since my personal top cod’s BO1/MW2.
Worst Call of Duty I ever played
I agree
@TsukuyomiREKT I agree they are bad , but the high volume of footsteps, resupply perk, shield, turret, doors, no dead silence, mounting, resupply suitcase all encourage camping. Lack of 6 vs 6 maps which is core of COD. Terrible original maps. Shipment still unplayable (spawns). Same old maps over an over. = worst COD in my opinion
But the space one is up there.
I like In-N-Out Burger. 🍔
What in the world are people talking about イヌ ダ レプリス ?
The people who created the maps specifically put in camping spots so people can camp. They even changed old maps to put in camping spots
Why do you complain about camping, isnt the whole point is to live. You dont see people in real war 360 no scoping and running around the map

@DDR Aleksander The game also gave tools to scope them out too (snapshot grenades, tracker, spotter). Barely anyone used them effectively but if you use it properly there’s 0 issues for camping. Apart from that just don’t play TDM lol. MW was not well thought out for non objective modes

Gunfight: A
@@altruis413 It was alright, got old quick
@@michaelespeland I agree it got old quick, but I don't think the game mode was designed to take up most of your gameplay time. For what it is , I see it as an A. Simplest mode, bring a friend in and play a few games during the weekend
@@altruis413 Totally agree with you there. But its still just an "okay, fun" mode for me personally. Its by no means great, imo
@@michaelespeland I get what you're saying. My friends and I had the most fun in that mode out of all the other modes, that's why I rank it so high.
Warzone: A-, 6v6 multiplayer: C-, gunfight: B+.
Yeah the MP was awful
I really enjoyed this multi-player. Its much better than the past few cods.
MP above average in my opinion. I liked the change of map design and the non arcade style
@@breadwinningbiscuit1086 its still arcady lol its just campy
I think the multiplayer experience was super heavily dependent on game mode. TDM, KC, and FFA get an F- because it’s dreadfully campy and boring, but Headquarters and Hardpoint and SnD get an A- because people actually try and win. Everything else is kinda C- for me.
There was once a hacker in my cod game he was in god-mode he went around killing campers he would ignore you if you are playing normally
Technically, call of duty mobile was the first free call of duty "thing" released in North America
As a battlefield player, this game brought me back to cod
Not being mean but you don't need to much to bring you back if this game is what brought you back

Drift0r: This cycle we ended console exclusivity.
BOCW Playstation bonuses: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Nah you're wrong, it's called "Sony Advantage" lmao.
Pretty sure that's due to a pre existing contract between Activision and Sony so hopefully once it ends any differences between platforms will end
@@jeelianbb6405 the contract was either a 7 or 8 yr long contract that was signed to take place once ghost ended
The campaign was really good I completely agree. The multiplayer was one of the worse in CoD history. Terrible maps, terrible audio design, and some incredibly lazy weapon balancing. Warzone definitely isn’t perfect but it was a huge success and large reason why this game stayed relevant. I promise you without Warzone most people would not look at MW 2019 so kindly.
perfect review.
For me it boils down to this and I give this game a B-
Campaign=great
Warzone=good
Spec ops=garbage
Multiplayer=bad
Monetization=best in years
Despite all of our problems with this game, I think in a few years we'll look back at it fondly.
Ngl I forgot warzone was a mode from modern warfare 2019 ngl I forgot the game for a week
thing i agree on what they offered in mw2019 are their crossplay, no more season pass map back BS, and microtransaction that are considered to be acceptable,...other than that, the games need tons of work especially hackers and tons of bugs
I’m sorry, but his analysis of the campaign killed me. Do not look at this game’s campaign as a realistic depiction of war, it is not
It feels a lot more MW2, but trying to be a lot more edgy. It's not bad, it's not an absolute cartoon, but it's definitely not realistic.
It was funny hearing him speak as if he has some enlightened knowledge of what war is like lol. Then saying it’s realistic
One Crit Wonder it really appears to me to be like a Michael Bay movie, with added in scenes of gratuitous violence and moral ambiguity that make it seem edgy. It’s a game that pretends to be making a statement, but is too afraid to actually make a statement.
Yea this guy also said he enjoyed the black ops 3 campaign...
@@TDM2001 Liking BO3 campaign is heresy
What breaks my heart about this game is that it had the most potential to be the GOAT cod game. The 6v6 was absolutely atrocious. Strict sbmm, must use meta weapons, lack of a functional mini map, dead silence being a field upgrade and not a perk, ghost being active when you’re camping, and the fact that the spawns were in no way predictable made the regular multiplayer unplayable. Warzone saved this game big time.
I’ve been playing cod since mw3 and I really enjoy this cod. I haven’t in years and the last time I had fun with cod was around ghost - mw I’m not saying they’re good games but it just made me have fun with cod again
Don't forget about the insanely good soundtrack!! I also love all the tiny details that the devs included, like the electricity plugs on the walls being the correct model for whatever country the map was located, how they added a realistic ring of fire for the deagle and so much more (y'all should check out "nemsk" who did a whole "Modern Warfare - Attention to Detail" series).
I can't think of many other games, and none that are released this frequently or to the scale of COD, that had so much detail.
I can’t give MW anything higher than a D due to the amount of time limit games I had. I’ve never experienced so many, even when compared to ghosts with maps like stonehaven.
I still played ghosts all year, unlike MW which I deleted after 6 months (also because it was taking up way too much space)
I agree mw had so much wasted potential.
@@RipUncleHolas it really did, but it catered so much to casuals with all the safe spaces, mounting and the ghost perk working even when standing still. And on top of all of that they also introduced very strict SBMM. I do love the feel and sound of the guns but that’s just a small part of the game.
This was the best Call of Duty in a long time. I’m genuinely hurt that a new COD has come out and split the player base. This was an masterpiece and if it had a ranked playlist without SBMM, it could’ve competed with the best cod of all time. This game was amazing.
When it comes to just mp, 3rd worst one for me too be honest. Bad maps really made it hard to enjoy and sbmm wasn't too fun either. Although too be fair it had some up sides too like the graphics
maps were terrible
Yeah I'm kinda annoyed at people saying cold war is gonna be garbage cuz mw launch was horrible
SBMM killed the game for me
praising the game is easier than playing the game
honestly its the worst multiplayer experience I've ever had I hated WW2 at launch (got better in the end and loved it) and also hated ghost but I'd rather play those two games any day than modern warfare I just cant stand the camping there are literally multiple moments in games where nobody is shooting the whole thing is just bullshit
On the mw reddit you see players claiming this the best cod since bo2 , I was thinking " you haven't played cod for 8 years to hard scope on a 6v6 map for a uav?"
In my opinion this game was really good, I haven’t had this much fun playing a cod game since bo2, I stopped playing around when infinite warfare came out, this was the cod game that bought me back. I think this game overall is b+, maps could have been better, warzone was fun and the campaign was good, co op was lacking
@@ohh_pop7476 sounds like opinion from a casual
@@socksslides2072 Yeah because everyone who disagrees with you must be a casual... no other possible explination
Ikr lmao
@@motba6228the devs said this game was designed for low skilled and casual players, if you actually enjoy mw 6v6 then the shoe fit, all hardcore cod players are only playing warzone because the base mutilplayer is so unplayable.
I can careless about campaign .
Not interested in ground war because im not a fan of battle field .
2v2 is okay .
Spec ops is trash.
And warzone is it own game pretty much.
Modern Warfare 2019 is what Modern Warfare 3 should have been
Mw3 the best cod ever
For some reason something in this thumbnail is really making me crave a Chick-Fil-A spicy chicken sandwich and milkshake
I can’t ú think that now 😂
Tbh half the reason I spent any money on this game is because I wanted to endorse/support this monetization model
This game was my #1 game in A long time. Right up there with MW2, BO, BO2, BF3, and BF4. Loved this game. Probably will play this over CW.
Base multiplayer 4/10 for me
I think the best summary for this game would be "almost new content"
I’m over NukeTown like 3 CoD games ago.
Well too bad your getting one anyway with Cold War. But I feel ya. Shipment is an equivalent. Shipment in this game is horrible because of the bad spawn system which is most apparent in shipment and rust. Burnt out on both maps. Shipment is at least good for opening or golding guns.
Never liked it. Always skip it
Firing range is one of the best tho
I always think I hate nuketown... and end up playing that the most :)
Then don’t play it. Some of us like it
I've had more fun and played this game more than I have in any COD since BO2
Realism was my favorite mode in CoD history. Unfortunately I don't think we are going to ever see it again, and it wasn't even the modes fault. IW pulled realism for months at a time effectively killing the mode...
If it weren’t for campers and SBMM this game is perfection. God tier
With those maps? No way. You should ask why there are so many campers in this game.
MrYoung Not just the maps, (which sucked) the mounting challenges required you to play like that.
Still better than Advanced Warfare gun challenges though.
@@orionl7406 True! I hated to join all the campers with the mounting challenges. Or think about the deployable field cover, a personal little headglitch that you could take anywhere with you. I think that says it all about this game
@@TwistedHigh and why there’s a mechanic that allows everyone to hear where you are with elephant foot stomps.
what about the terrible maps, bad ttk, bad perk balance, loudest in the series footstep audio, grindy challenges, lack of prestige, the console exclusive content, lighting, the crappy spec ops mode, the huge file size and huge updates, the poor visibility overall, killstreaks instead of scorestreaks, bad weapon balance, the killstreaks being bad, and all the bugs and hackers?
when the beta was out my computer ran it at 1080p60fps but then i bought the game a few months later the game was unplayable and crashed on startup
I wish I could like MW multiplayer more, but the spawn logic almost single-handedly ruins the game for me. I'm not going to pretend I am a cod god or whatever, but I've been playing since black ops 1, and a huge part of the fun for me was learning how to do map control properly. This was possible because the spawn logic in other cod games was at least somewhat predictable. Its been over 1 year, and I still have no idea how most of the maps work in MW. I can think of so many instances where things just don't make any logical sense, whether its getting killed from behind by someone I recently killed, running into the entire enemy team when it makes no sense for anymore then 2 people to be there, or spawning in and getting killed off spawn instantly. These issues and other have been in pass cods, but never have I seen it this consistently bad (except the demolition gamemode, that gamemode is trash no matter which cod you're playing). I thought for a while that I maybe was just getting bad... until I played the Cold War Beta and was able to get a decent understanding of the spawn logic for the map Satellite within 2 minutes of my first time playing it. Come to think of it, my favorite gamemodes in MW are Ground War, Gunfight, and Warzone. All 3 of these modes do not follow the regular multiplayer spawn logic.
Because of all of this, I give most other parts of MW at least an A-, 6v6/10v10 multiplayer a C-, and co-op an F (cause co-op sucks)
Ground war is just worse Battlefield lmao
True
facts
True. BF does large scale much better than cod. This is why I’m happy with combined arms. COD shines better with medium scale battles
yeah I really disagree with driftor there... ground war is so boring with those waist up one shot kill sniper and indestructible buildings.
@@wilcoxtam810 Haha! Wait til CoD Black Ops comes out and is reviewed. It is going to suck harder than MW, the alpha and beta proved that to us.
‘But it played better than battlefield’, ground war doesn’t even come close to conquest.
The guns in warzone, especially the AR category, is extremely balanced right now. Which is insanely amazing.
*Cries in FR 5.56*
@@randomgaming8616 It's terrible in multiplayer too so I think that's irrelevant...
I had stopped playing COD games around Black ops 3. Just lost interest. MW 2019 brought me back tho. I think its been an amazing ride and jumping into warzone with friends has become a weekly thing for me.
Pros: Cross-play, fair battle pass and mtx, fun and unique weapons, great attachment system, great graphics
Cons: SBMM, no prestige system, not a fan of the camo system, maps at launch were horrible
One of the things I feel aren't mentioned enough is the User Interface in the Gunsmith and the operation of said gunsmith. It is easily the most fluid, smoothest gunsmith/create-a-class customization system I've seen in a lot of games and certainly every CoD I've played, which isn't many, but they're all pretty recent ones. I'm going to be sad to see this UI/gunsmith design go with BOCW (Which in my opinion, has a much clunkier look/feel when it comes to the gunsmith) I came to this game mostly for the campaign and eneded up staying for Multiplayer.
My mans is talking like everyone is moving to CW when CW is so trash compared to MW LOL. MW will be the true 2 year life cycle COD.
@Warm Soft Kitty It's the most played and most sold COD in history I don't think people are going to jump ship that fast to CW seeing as it's so inferior and unfinished.
The negatives of MW for me was the lack of interesting progression camos, camp friendly maps, and the boringness of a lot of the maps. Other than that a very solid game.
