As someone who's played cod since finest hour on the ps2 I can safely say COD has indeed lost its identity and is no longer made with the same passion it once was made with. I simply can't sit down and enjoy anything about the newer cods anymore and justify spending $70+ dollars on a new cod that plays almost the same as the cod that came the year before it. When a call of duty game used to come out, I knew I was getting a fun multiplayer with an amazing story and a zombies mode that I would play 20x longer than anything else. Ever since MW 2019 (which is not bad and is IMO the last good cod game) the game has shifted from delivering a solid MP to a bundle simulator that uses predatory tactics to get you to want to buy bundles. The fact that activision has patents that directly change your matchmaking if it detects that you recently purchased a bundle, or patents that will put you in easier lobbies based off of if they think you're about to quit the game, means that this game series is no longer made for me. I can't even enjoy a game of zombies without being reminded that the mode that used to have amazing maps and a crew that gave the mode personality, is now multiplayer imports and a silent crew. I don't care if other people enjoy the game more power to you I guess, but don't dismiss genuine criticism by saying things like "stop complaining" or "just go play the old cods" because don't worry I would, but unfortunately activision sees no reason to update them to be safe to play on PC, and when the community makes launchers to try to fix them, they get sent cease and desist letters. Black ops 6 is almost taking steps in the right direction, but seeing liberty falls and the fact the game already has bundles being advertised before it comes out and gobblegums possibly being paid again aren't giving me much hope.
@@xfatherdarkx only on console. PC still has massive RCE exploits. console just had messed up matchmaking on a few titles making it literally impossible to find a game.
@@xfatherdarkx a channel called lollipopomg has a video from 1 month ago that goes over all the cods that are unplayable on PC its basically almost all the cods other than bo4, mw2019 and anything post cold war. Not all call of duty games have RCE exploits, but the ones that don't can still have people remotely crash your game and corrupt files, and given how small the remaining playerbase is, you're almost guaranteed to hit a cheater. Even cold war had an RCE for about a week. The only workaround are community clients which either get shut down by activision :), or have very small amount of players.
While i understand your pov, there's also a different side that isn't talked about. That's the people who want to like CoD, who follow the news to see if it will finally make the comeback we've been dreaming of. Only for it to constantly fall on its face. It's hard watching a series turn into nothing more than a money grab :/
i couldn;t agree more fam its almost to the point where people are scared to say they like a new cod or are excited for it before people rush them for why they shouldn't be lol maybe its cuz i matured over the years but having constant hate on something you don't even play anymore is not good for ya mental
Idk I understand what you’re saying but I feel like you’re missing the point. Without typing out a book… games were better back then. You didn’t have $20+ “micro transactions”, battle passes, sbmm / eomm dictating and rigging the outcome of every single gun fight you get into to keep you as close to a 1.0KD as possible, etc, etc.. It’s vastly different from what we used to have and don’t get me wrong.. change is good but in Call of Duty’s instance is the direction they’ve been going in really for the better of the community? Or is it better at filling Activision’s pockets? Great video though, I watched it all the way through and subscribed. We don’t need to agree on everything 🤙🏼
14:18 Yeahh, I’d love it if people could keep politics out of gaming! It’s bad enough to hear about how ‘it’s the end of the world because CoD isn’t like it was in the good ‘ol days’, I do not need your politics when I’m trying to play CoD! It would be a lot easier for us to do that though, if Activision themselves, would keep politics out of their games! 😒 They do it significantly less than other companies, but they’re still not guiltless of dragging politics into their games, and therefore killing the vibe! Even I despise CRACKtivision, over here, but you won’t see me hopping onto people’s CoD Campaign Reveal Trailer streams just to shit on the game! I love the game, I just wish Activision wouldn’t abuse women, would give them a fair shot, actually take care of their pro league, and mind the quality of their games! Unless they release another Vanguard or Modern Warfare 2 (the new one) which were barely playable in some respects… You won’t see me complaining, even the best of the best have games they’re better at, than others! I like the old CoDs, but my first game was Cold War, and I love the fast paced, sweaty, arcade like gameplay of BO6; I’m annoyed at this point with the name calling because I don’t want to play CoD like a Navy friggin’ Seal, glad someone’s coming out on this with an actually level headed take! 😅
Great memories with hours spent on cod but it just like running on a hamster wheel playing that game, i cant enjoy it anymore but i cant help but keep up with all the news about it lol good point though
I really like this video, I love call of duty remember playing bo2 zombies when I was younger but I like the new call of duty, people always just chatting! just play the damn game, and I like how the movement is in this years game, its different, something new
Thank you. And I agree, I like the movement changes. Adds another layer of gameplay that I had to adapt to over time. Now I don't want to go back honestly.
My favourite comments are why can't they do black ops 2 or 3 style zombies or start saying the old titles are better well I say go buy those titles they're all still available to purchase personally I think black ops 6 will be great and I can't wait
cant follow you in 90% of this who cares about fortnite correct but you should care about the gaming industry and lootboxes is not a boost at all making games kids friendly like fortnite and many other games like cmon i was like 10 when i started playing games worse then world at war... and thoes types of games were the cool shit not because they were kids friendly... and it all mostly points towards too much money being used for development of games and a need to make extra money to keep investors happy not the player base and many games do this not just call of duty
@@nilasjochumsen4700 yeah ... That's exactly what I said the video was in the beginning. And if you think you're a leader, sure buddy. Whatever you say. 💀
I think you misunderstand. This video was more about the people that complain in my comments in every video but yet still play or watch the content all the time. I just don't understand that mindset. If you enjoy cod, then literally all my other content would be for you.
bro you missed the point, ive loved every single COD till MW3, SBMM, OBMM, EBMM or whatever you call it has killed the series, its about the fact that theres some pawn master choosing how a game goes based off your accuracy and movement, theres so care for connection or a care for us to stay in a lobby (dont get your hopes up with BO6, cold war has map voting and a rare lobby stay too) and that ranked is a lie and front, Bronze I can be with whatever the highest rank, its the fact that unless you are a very specific skill level of handicap all you get is a sweat fest until the game think you're gonna leave soon so it tosses you one. i loved the shit out of the open beta, PC like movement with a controller, and me and my little brother would both be top 3 almost ever match that night with the enemy team not to far off stats wise too, next morning i couldn't get past 8 kills and broke a controller for the first time in my 23 year life... its about how its not an arcade shooter, is a BR based MP with the most aggressive SBMM known to man
I just see it as attention seeking behavior, because guaranteed these guys already have their preorder locked in, and commenting algorithms boost negative comments that get reactions all the way to the top. Not to mention, where was all this negativity when we had genuinely bad CoD hype cycles like MW3 and Vanguard??? Played the beta, I'm washed now that I'm an adult with a job and responsibilities but I still had an absolute blast. It felt like the next iteration of a CoD game, like the jump from BO2 to BO3, which funnily enough had the same criticisms way back then because people did not want or like jetpacks the same way they complain about omni-movement. The whining about MP is still not as bad as the whining about Zombies, everyone asking for Treyarch to bring back the vibe BO2 or "We want old zombies!" but when told to just go back and play old zombies it's all excuses. Treyarch can't replicate the "old vibe" of zombies BECAUSE YEARS AGO MOST OF THE PLAYERBASE WAS LITERALLY KIDS AND TEENS, the nostalgia of being young and having infinite free time to play zombies is what people are wanting but that's literally impossible to do. Great video, glad to know I'm not the only one taking crazy pills and being perfectly content with what this game has to offer, cause it's been years since a decent CoD experience (Cold War my goat.) and I'm just happy to be excited for CoD again.
Hate cod all you want, black ops 6 will be huge ! The end cod wont be going anywhere . MW2 and MW3 did suck . And people complain because they dont want MW4. I enjoyed cold war last and im hoping black ops 6 is similar.
A quick scroll through the comment section of any short I've uploaded regarding bo6 has a ton of comments with people that seem to think cod in general shouldn't be bought or played at all. the comments I showed in the beginning were only a tiny sample of what my comment section looks like.
@@xfatherdarkx these are all anecdotes from a relatively small youtube channel with all due respect, the actual cod community is significantly larger therefor i dont think your title for this video is justified. If you look at other cod youtube channels, theres alot of positivity regarding the game in the comments, and this ive seen on large youtube channels. So i think its more appropriate to say that your community is dishing out alot of criticism to bo6
The hundreds of people that flock to my comments everyday to bash cod don't just watch my channel only. I see them everywhere. Lol. I'm not saying there aren't plenty of people that do like it, but to deny the yearly cod hate trains existence would be disingenuous. It isn't new and people have been doing it for years now.
The problem is, when people continue to buy these shitty copy and paste games that release trash updates and never try to make anything better about their game, the developers become complacent. They never innovate. They just have a monopoly and a constant cash flow. It has single handedly changed gaming. I used to play cod all the way back during BO2, MW3 etc.. That era of gaming was the best in the history of gaming. Over the past 10 years gaming has become a corporate cash grab. They release nothing with passion. So complaining about a game like cod that releases the same shit every year and its die hard brain rot fans that throw money at it every year, is COMPLETELY justified. Because people like y’all will continue to keep gaming in a state of non improvement.
@@xfatherdarkx elden ring, borderlands 2 and minecraft. So that yall sheep may one day see that the games you constantly throw money at are worthless pieces of recycled garbage
So you gain nothing? Because I can promise you that no one sees your comments and goes "yeah I'm not gonna buy cod anymore". They either come to that conclusion on their own or laugh at how angry you are over someone else's gaming choices. 😂
Oh I'm sure they do. But you can hear my prox chat in 98% of my videos are def people 18+. I very seldom come across children in my lobbies. Not saying they aren't there. I usually hear them more when I play with lower KD friends.
Fortnite is a child's game respectfully, that some adults play. Whereas cod is literally an adult game that some parents let their children play or they just don't know. But there is nothing about cod that is designed for kids. that would be like saying because some kids watch horror movies that are kids movies. No, they just happen to watch them.

I'm honestly jumping from game to game, at this point, maining one game is just limiting my options, and I cannot main COD anymore
Nothing wrong with that. If you aren't happy with cod, playing other games is logical.
Canceled my vault pre order. Terrible dynamics. And way too many cheaters.
