Wheres Hassan?
Also this video aged like WINE OH MY GOD 🍷🍷
Nickmercs was wrong
People who watch hasan are either teenagers or grew up without a father
People misunderstanding which Hassan you are referring to is pretty hilarious.
Doc prolly Sliced him up
@@population-_-420he was wrong about what??
The fact that you showed COD ghosts while trying to explain how confusing COD MW 2 and its many iterations are got me more confused.
Ghosts was just as camp heavy as this game is, that’s why. Plus with the color palette and whatnot, it might as well just be MW2/MW2019 for the people that don’t have a next gen console.
Who the fuck is playing ghost right now on a PS3/4 or 360 to need it as an example sorry? 😂
@@Ixtlsyou’d be surprised, Xbox one player count was close to a 1,000 when I logged in for the hell of it last month
@@iiTsFaded_ what? that is crazy!! 😮 power to them - thanks for the info
sorry that was an editing error where that image got replaced with MW, but you still got the point LMAO
I like how they tried to convince us that they can’t remaster classic multiplayer games because “it would split the player base” and then they go and split the player base by having a million different modes in one game
They know that if there was an old school CoD game with no cheaters and upgraded graphics optimized for the current gen consoles out today, they’d struggle to get half the community to buy/play their new releases for the next 5 years. The only reason they released CoD 4 remastered was because Infinite Warfare would have flopped if they hadn’t sold it in a bundle with a fan favorite.
It really isn’t that hard
@tasha4400 not as hard as you where dropped when you was unfortunately born
you guys put too much value in nostalgia. Those games played great like technically sure. But the new games feel so much better they’re fluid and responsive(not mw2 shit feels like sludge). The new engine is better in almost every way. The problem with the new games are the shitty illogical buddy spawns and sbmm(also the maps but every game has bad maps). if they remastered the old games they would put that shit in it too along with the old clunky engine and severely lacking weapon customization. People would play it but not for long. Especially with how similar in theme the new games have been.
i think they split the player base already with these dogshit yearly releases
One area that killed it for me is disbanding lobbies. It kills the social aspect of the game. I can’t say I’ve made nearly as many friends playing cod in recent years. Whereas I have made lifelong friends from older titles. Mostly, from engaging in game chats throughout multiple matches. This is no longer possible with their matchmaking system kicking you out after each game. Additionally, there’s not much you can do to play and get better when you only have one match to learn the other teams tactics. Used to be very rewarding rematching opponents, learning, and adapting to different play styles while engaging in social conversation with teammates and opponents. That social luster is gone.
Yea now u gotta add cool ones and join on them but I understand, you could be having a great gm against some folks and if you do great disband and give you a terrible lobby of dropshotters, corner campers, and bunny hoppers
Agree 100%
Facts I remember BO2 lobbies meeting friends etc.. same for OG MW but those I played on PC so we could join modded lobbies with different map designs etc..
People don't understand how big a deal disbanding lobbies is. It ruins any multiplayer game on a fundamental level.
So sad. I've actually disabled chat in this title because I don't have enough playtime to make friends and I don't like how people would shit talk theenemy team after a match knowing they don't have to prove themselves the next game.
I really hate how these latest campaigns have literally been like “OMG THE ENEMIES HAVE BOMBS THEY’RE GONNA BLOW SHIT UP!” and then by the end we’ve defeated everyone with few losses and then a cliffhanger for the next game.
The recent games are just the soyjak pointing meme in video game format.
Cold War at least had an interesting ending…EXCEPT THE INTERESTING ONE WASN’T CANON! A game taking place in a post nuclear world in the 1980s would be *awesome!*
@@brandonwilliams6221pretty sure they can't since BO2 is canon. The world seems fairly normal in the early 80s section of BO2 so it's safe to assume the "good" ending is canon
@@brandonwilliams6221 you're complaining that BO2 wasn't retconned?
I miss how social COD use to be. It’s legitimately hard to make new friends on cod now
Facts
I remember making friends from a simple zombies game in BO2 after that there were times where we played other games
@MegaMaster1021 back then there was more good games to play outside of cod so it made it easier to hop from game to game with players you met in a single match. To add, the toxicity nowadays isn't from a place of fun, all the toxicity is extremely malicious nowadays.
@@BrandonOfJapanYea people can't wait to say the n word or just something racist. On the 360 at least there was something funny to accompany it. Wish I could go back

I was incredibly excited and bought it because
1) I really liked MW 2019
2) They promised a two year cycle! Which I feel would have made a huge difference.
And now they're rescinding that. : (
They never promised a 2 year cycle, it was just a rumour/leak that went around
@@istrooper2no they did say that publicly, and are going back on their word, this was after the disaster that was vanguard
@@stellarfountain2111 You know all you gotta do is just link the source if you want to convince me
@istrooper2 even Chopper fell for this lol
I can't grasp how the CoD community is turning a rumour into a fact
@istrooper2 yeah I can't recall if they ever said they'd be putting out additional content after one year for MW2, but they made it clear there was supposed to be two years between games, and because of that I think a lot of people assumed there would be at least a bit better care and quality.
They switched their focus from making a good game first to squeezing players for money first, "good game" maybe later. This is why COD is going downhill. Corporate greed as per usual ruining everything
“There’s people that only play campaign and are done with it after”
Reinforcing my point that Warzone and 6v6 (or a limited version of 6v6, kind of like what they’re doing for WZ Mobile’s alternate mode) should be free to play. Monetize the campaign, that’s what GTA is doing.
terrible idea. everyone i know that bought the game did so for the multi. none have even played the campaign
@@Jose-oq5wqI’ve played the campaign (it was meehhh) but I get your point. Warzone is where the players (and therefore money) is at.
lol wat
you mean halo infinite.
@@jurassicarkjordanisgreat1778 nah he means gta which is a game about grand theft auto, halo is about aliens and sci fi or whatever but i can see how you could get confused.
Honestly this the first game that got me hooked in with the camo grind. But as someone who bought the game, I can't help but feel disappointed. It's like the multiplayer is just an area to level up for Warzone and DMZ. I don't hate Warzone and DMZ, but I'd like more of a reason to play MP.
And you addressed this point super well. It has a wide appeal, and technically shit tons of content to work your way through. Hell it has good ideas like the camo grind and weapon grind being streamlined, so people with shit to do, like jobs, school, bettering their lives, non-NEET shit, can actually get far in the progression system. But you can feel that they spread themselves thin in terms of that in a way that other games that commit to 2 or 3 core experiences don't
It was like that for MW2019, but at least it had some kind of meat to it
Same.
I never cared about going for Camos in MP, but it's easier to start the grand in this game, but it's still just as difficult to finish it.
@Sir_Slimbread I think a lot of that is because no matter what game you play, it always comes back to two maps: Shipment or Nuketown. Because those are the most efficient maps for camo grinding, inevitably it's going to become monotonous
camo grind was a thing in BO3 lol
and every cod since MW1? had a golden mastery camo
@@Malam_NightYoru They were talking about how the Camo Grind is different, not that it's completely new 🤦♂️
Being completely honest. The game is 10 times more fun if you treat it like a mindless shooter and listen to podcasts or music while you play.
So sad to see the community disappear. Still, community is built upon the ability to play consistently with the same ppl - ie community servers. Activision don't want that approach - they just want to sell a new version every year, so why allow teams / clans / communities take any control?
The camo grind was great but otherwise the 6v6 experience has been overall really bad. I feel like the maps are okay to objectively bad, the weapons are alright but are also boring because it doesn't have the name recognition like the scar-h, ak47, etc and then stacking on top of the convoluted attachments and the over indulgence of the amount of useless attachments. Its feels like a step down from Cold war with the stats. Graphically its good but i almost perfet 2019. Campaign was great even if the story was a mess. Then you get into the lack of communication and making the proper changes and i feel like what's the point in play 6v6. Hell warzone 2 has about as many issues
@Controlroomreal good for you lol
I feel otherwise. Well it's boring when made by CoD that's for sure
6v6 depends on the modes and ranges from mid to bad with the exception of SnD which is always great regardless of the Cod imo, its just hard to take the unique feeling that mode gjves thats akin of CS or R6 type of tactical shooters. Movement could be slightly revised, if they simply changed the sliding similar to Cold War and still keep tactical sprint then that would be the best and the gunplay is already good. For the maps if you took out Taraq and the Santa Sena Border map then i'd say they had a pretty alright to good line up, and if i had the choice to remake any of them then i'd prob go with any of the launch maps/ranked maps or Punta Mar. Weapons variety is great, gunsmith is always a plus, the fact you can make your TAQ-56 more agile by picking a shorter barrel, a smaller stock, a fast rear grip and laser is neat, it really gives a sense of versatility with every gun. Graphics-wise its pretty much on par if not slightly better than MW2019, only really noticeable change is the more vibrant colours
@FentanylFloydrotsinhell glad you like and 2 others like dead modes
10v10 makes the maps feel so much better
@@ABloodAngelTerminator its better if the player size is different for each map, like in MW2 for example Fortress, Embassy, plays perfectly as a 6v6 map, but they should just permanently make maps like Museum, Expo, Hotel, Strike, Punta Mar as 10v10 maps
between BattleBit and XDefiant, and the fact that Activision keeps making the worst possible decisions, this is the lowest amount i've cared for COD ever. I genuinely believe there is no saving this franchise and the games are just gonna get worse and worse.
Believe it or not. A game like xdefiant might be the best thing for the cod community. If it causes lots of players to stop buying/playing there games. Activision will begin losing money. One thing you will learn about activision. They will do anything to make as much money as possible. Even if that means finally listening to the community and making the changes there asked to make. If xdefiant is a success. Cod may realize that no sbmm, Fluid movement, Map voting etc. may be a smarter option. What call of duty has always needed is real competition.
Xdefiant is so refreshing expect the already low MWII player count to go lower
ActistVision doesn't care. They're only interested in ESG/Soros bucks now... like Bud, Nike, and SO many other once successful Western companies.
if that’s what you and a lot of others think then it’s already dead😂
Xdefiant is buns 😊 it's free to play Garbage. We like mw.,.
What I see with the current cod community is that it seems they haven't yet realized that this games aren't aiming for a good experience or basically making a good product, they want your money and they want it now, that's it. As the trend has shown them, even if they lower the quality of their game, loose fans and/or loose active players its all fine as long as money is earned, the image and quality of the franchise is secondary.
I feel like when xdefiant launches. They will lose lots of players. Which will lead to them losing lots of money. Which activision clearly won’t be okay with. I feel like that will be the point they actually have to start listening to their community.
@@SKI-xq2ruxdefiant is t good enough to take me away from CoD... The guys that cod will lose don't even play for games. They won't be missed
@@callofmetals24dawg nobody cares about you or your dying game. Check steam numbers, the games player count is literally lower than classic cods now that the servers are back on. The game is awful and the number reflect that. You're the problem.
I fully believe there is a system that punishes good players. You can feel when that "switch" is turned on for you. Why can someone go from dogging the lobby, to not being able to win most gun fights half-way through the match?
I have seen many experience this, as well as first-hand.
I have to agree here, the game is rigged to punish you by making you easier to kill by other players. Example, lack of notification/no notification of certain killstreaks.
i agree that and also when you get shadowbanned for playing pubs and not a gb or ranked match and the game becomes unplayable and activision does nothing to help you
@@MichaellBarlow I think at least 70 percent now prolly use some form of hack

@@Kgoutdoor eh the amount of times I've been traced with crosshairs out of the last 2 days has been more than none.
I think one of the main problems COD has had recently is that it's way too realistic to actually have fun in. I play games to have fun, it constantly feels like im playing a dumb down version of a military sim. I dont think i ever saw people complain that COD isnt realistic enough
I agree, at least when it comes to the campaign. I feel like the game is so hamstring on making the game feels politically believable that it feels so constraint. The whole time you as TF141 (instead of ICE, FBI, Rangers, or Seals for some reason) practically goosechasing around this random warlord with a nuke for the entire game and kills him and America and Mexico stay in 1 piece. The overall stake is super low and boring so they have to shoehorn in Shadow Company's subplot to make it interesting (which also goes nowhere before and after you "killed" Graves). No one saves for Hasan dies, no significant geopolitical change or shift, no nothing. It feels like the devs try to make a mil sim version of Counter Strike with a plot
Have you ever played a milsim, cause COD had never in its life been like that
But how do y’all complain when it’s too realistic or not realistic enough, y’all hate it no matter what
@hollownxt1295 no i haven't because im not into them, but no one wants the slow, realistic feeling of the new cods, everyone enjoyed the arcadey feel of the old ones. There's a reason why a majority of the new cods arent ranked high at all in anyones tier list
@@wah-_- becuase you don’t like it doesn’t mean no one does considering how well reviewed the MW1 remake was
Call of duty is like need for speed games for activision, like look at this way:
- Both franchises are at least 20 year old
- Both franchises have some sort of downhill between the early 2010s
- Both franchises won back the fans with a new direction in the games in 2019 (nfs heat and cod mw19)
- Both franchises had three development teams worked on the franchise
I miss the MW2 beta. I don’t know what specific things they changed for launch but it was so much more fun
I felt faster in the beta, but I honestly don't know if it's a placebo effect
@@DualWieldedEggrolls pretty sure they changed the movement from the beta. i could just be imagining it but im pretty sure the beta had movement somewhat similar to vanguard (slide cancelling, faster moving as a whole, etc) but i guess that allowed people to be too aggressive so they changed it for launch
they had the aiming bhop, much less (or none at all) aim slowdown when jumping, felt faster n more fluid, and the guns all felt a little stronger. youre not alone there, i thought it was just me that felt as if the movement was horribly changed in between betas to launch
I actually liked the beta a lot. I was pleasantly surprised it.
Probably that we didn't have worry about the additional bullshit like micro-transactions and FOMO
I stopped playing because i felt the hit registration and damage we're getting inconsistent. Then i heard they have a patent that modifies certain stuff in the match such as hit boxes and spawns. Im not trying to be tinfoil hat but i really feel like the damage from guns get inconsistent no matter where you hit the enemy
You can see in the firing range even. You won't get hit markers but the dummy will still spray blood
That's because it's all TRUE. Not only that back in 2019 Studio heads from Infinity ward were in a video where the told us that if a better player gets into a fight with a weaker opponent that the server may disable a few of the stronger players bullets because AND I QUOTE "A better player can afford to miss a few shots" Only to then take down EVERY copy or trace of the video and scrub it from the internet mere hours later. MWII runs on the same engine so if their doing that, it's not crazy AT ALL to think their doing everything in the patents, ESPECIALLY with all the proof captured of it in action.
That shit be blowing me fam I literally be heartbroken when I play this game & see what they’re doing to their loyal community player base. Like it actually hurts bro 😂
Play hardcore. You will get hit markers within a gun’s one shot range consistently (or at least I do).
@@nightinxgale7083 Yep, did some Clan v clan Hardcore matches and I keep getting hit markers for days, regardless of using the CDL Taq 56, Vaznev 9k, Lauchman sub, chimera, M13B, ect all fast killing guns in core most with a 3 hit kill minimum (meaning it deals MORE than 30 damage per shot which is the amount of health hardcore gives BEFORE any damage multiplier.) Add on all the rat hiding spots, tons on no mans land areas devoid of any cover, and so many dumb (MOSTLY PAID) skins that blend in to become invisible and hardcore is HELL to play.
NOT more skilful, just more scummy. If you want to play a real skill based mode go play Ranked play NOT "Hardcore"
What I really don’t understand about lowering the skill ceiling with the changes to the movement is the fact that “cracked” players who use movement tech shouldn’t even be in lower skill lobbies if sbmm works correctly. So why penalize players who want more movement tech to protect to lower skill players if they’re not supposed to be in the same games together?
Man i started today as a new player. All lobby was 100+ lvl guys ho just demolished me all games. Nice game btw
I think it’s to slow everyone down. Since hit detection is determined by them through their strict sbmm, hackers or better players who could circumvent it with movement, aren’t able to anymore or as easily. Just my guess
You have to pretty much play every mode equally as you said to enjoy this game daily. For me I put more time in MP and WZ but I do play DMZ when my friends are in a mood for it. Despite all the issues like SBMM and hit reg, I like this game way more than MW 2019 and Vanguard. This game had so much potential yet it has all these unnecessary changes
Considering the shooter game I play basically every day, hit reg doesn't bother me in other games
I actually enjoyed watching this Al the way through 😅 You kept me hooked ngl. ❤
Excellent video. I'd say my biggest gripe is the issues with matchmaking. It's almost every single game now I get matched up against very try-hard players meanwhile my teammates are some of the most casual players on the game. It's frustrating for me to have to constantly carry the game or almost always lose because of this
This video pretty much sums it up for me concerning the overall package of the game. The monetization and sbmm is what killed it for me in this one. MW2019 had some of these things, but it didnt feel so bad for me at the time. In hindsight, I wish for a more condensed and focused game like in the old days. I suppose this game is just a highlight of the trends of the time when we look at it a few years from now(albeit quite negatively for me at least).
The fact they released a cod without a minimap and then with no red dots yet people still hail it as one of best cods in past years says it all about where COD is at currently

The thing that makes it very obvious that CoD or at least MW2/WZ2 is now a platform is the install location for the game. Every previous title was always labeled "Call of Duty: Currentnamehere" whereas now its called "Call of Duty HQ"
Talking about 58:55. This last weekend there was a trial period for people to play for free and 2XP. I decided to play a little since many friends were trying the game out and I can´t believe how much of a blast I had, we played for hours, lobbies were awesome. Right after the trial period finished I was back on the same cod I abandoned many months ago.
I know this video is old but you are on point I wish the devs can listen to this video keep up the good work
Thank you for talking about the callsigns, something I thought cared about myself and didn't see anyone mentioning.
Just adding to everything you mentioned, I hate the lack of focus, there's too much clutter and sticks out given the awful UI.
I just hate that money is the main priority and the lengths and tactics used to milk every dollar from everyone, it's borderline predatory and should be illegal to FORCE a casino like experience on players who just want to have fun, gambling is no joke, it's sickening.
Why can't they just focus on making a good game while having player experience and satisfaction as their number one priority?
Coming from someone who played during the golden era of Call of Duty, it's just sad to see games like these made with no passion and no identity and it will never change, Activision will always put money on top.
AI runs these studios and the Ranjeets, Zanes, and purple hairs are painting skins all day.
Dear Ch0pper, I wish I had discovered your channel earlier, the way you talk about these games are so entertaining and informative
35:32 I actually LOVE the color change. It gives that BF3 Solomon theme
i wished for the ending, the last missile did end up hitting some important location like DC or whatever and general Shepard goes to blame task force 141 and they become disavowed. This was the ending is dramatic and gives us a better/compelling reason to hate/want to kill Shepard in the next game and would be 141's low point and its up to them to work off the book to clean their name and take down Shepard. Like the last mission had so much potential, well the whole campaign had so much potential.
It's not like Shepherd even needs a creative excuse to disavow 141. A group of mostly foreign fighters (primarily British and Mexican) that are known to be disobeying orders (MW2019) operating without impunity on American soil. Even if the missile just strikes an abandoned warehouse warrants enough reason to cease their entire operation
I like your point aboout a wider aproach to an audience which I can only blame it on the community because there is no wining anymore, they release one with a few modes that are to one group theywill mald about no content, when theydo it wider they complain there is filler and also no content...I sorta don't blame them for mostly going for the casuals for this reason this community is never happy.
chop dropping an hr video makes my night hell yeah time to get cozy
Being busy i had to play this 3 different times to get all the details. Excellent analysis. Im reminded of that special time when CoD was super strong on story etc. You are correct. Kudos on a very thorough piece. You deserve more views but of course like MW2 remake, numbers increase where generalities abound if you get my drift.
The Dark patterns thing is so true. I remember my friend complaining that “it sucks we have to buy the 27$ version of the battle pass now”
He was not happy when I told him he had to just back out ands scroll down to find the 13$ one
MW (2019) is EASILY the best COD that has ever existed for someone like me who really enjoys “tactical shooters” making it really appeal to me. It also has some of the best animations, sound design, and gunplay a game like this has ever had.
That being said MW2 changed some things. These changes were small. They make the game fall SO LOW compared to MW (2019) for me LMAO there will never be multiplayer like MW (2019) again at least not for a very long time
one thing for me is the UI. i like the mw19 UI. load up even with all the MWII ads its still simple: campaign, multiplayer, spec ops, warzone caldera. you click on multiplayer and everything is simple. load up MWII and its all so confusing, thank god for the recently played option
46:11
Don’t forget about the mission where Makarov just conveniently seems to be operating somewhere that directly affects Farah, and possibly convincing Hadir that Makarov has a point or brings safety/insurance to their cause
Also the persona music throughout was a nice touch
Love you chop. These videos are great.
The fact this games campaign is written by the same people to write infinite warfare is genuinely jaw dropping. How do you fumble so bad 😭
Cuz they are trying to copy the old mw2 campaign but they have to change some stuff so people won’t be mad prolly. It strangles the creativity of making something original
I like the camo grind in this game

You're right about Alex not dying, but he came back in MW19 Season 3 - not this game.
Great video, great quality of your analysis. I really appreciate your efforts to identify the quality of the product in comparison to everything that we have had/that came before.
The one thing you forgot to mention about MP is the spawn algorithm. IT IS TRASH!
I've died within virtually a millisecond of spawning multiple times, and have died within 2 seconds so many times I've lost count...
This is another big issue I had with the game. These spawns are garbage. Some people say they can read them, but I feel they are just too random for me to be able to formulate a decent strategy. Spawning on the sides of maps or in random crevices in the middle somewhere completely kills the flow of the map every single time. Nothing worse than spawning on the side of a map and having an enemy round the corner behind where you just spawned and kill you 1-2 seconds after spawning in, due to no fault of your own.
I'm gonna say it again, the concept of Shadow company makes it way cooler than TF 141, using them as the plot twist traitors again leaves a bitter taste, especially if you look at their camraderie in earlier missions, They could have been the Delta-SAS collab we missed from MW3, a real big waste
Great video! Very entertaining!
This did not age well, mw3 2023 is even worse 💀💀💀💀💀
No it isn't 💀💀💀💀💀
COD campaigns are basically just playable marvel movies at this point. All the characters have to be these over the top superheroes or evil villains that constantly spout one-liners while every plot point and small detail has to be a reference to an earlier game.
If they choreograph the writing correctly, I'd play a COD where the campaign was centered around Farah and her journey.
love the "wheres hassan" compilation. really reminded me of destiny 2's lightfall campaign with osiris' "veil veil veil we need to find the veil wheres the veil get the veil"
The AC-130 missions are my favorite part of the campaign. Yeah, you aren’t laying on the trigger the whole time, but that’s realistic. You’re trying to capture someone alive, not erase the whole town. There’s only so many enemies to be shot at. It’s really not that bad.
I think the problem is that a huge chunk of the level plays out like a TV show or a movie, where things happen or not regardless of the player's input. Could have been better if like Chopper said, the level switches out between ground troops doing some stealth stuff to gather intel and switches back to the AC 130 when things go hot
Infinity Ward & Activision really are the rot on the franchise, and it abstractly comes down to them thinking that the Golden Age CoDs (MW2/BO2) were somehow irrelevant or obsolete, while the CoDs of that time made CoD a household name. You don't look back to the time when you were the most successful and throw it all out uncritically. Right when Call of Duty was truly the most popular, when friends and family got on the headsets to have fun, the aforementioned knuckleheads above thought they knew better. If CoD movement is supposed to be fluid and fast, Infinity Ward will make sure it stays slow. If CoD awareness is supposed to include the traditional minimap so good players sort of mentally map their situation, Infinity Ward throws out red dots. If the time-to-kill is supposed to generally give the one fired upon a window to respond, IW makes sure you die the second a pixel pops around a dim corner. IW knows that CoD players are informed, so they misrepresent and hide what their updates do. IW knows that CoD players have years-long criticisms; IW invites the feedback, but never meaningfully responds to it. IW knows that most people attached to CoD for a long time hate what they've done with the franchise, IW knows that professional players have criticisms, IW knows that they're lied to us.
Between Activision and Infinity Ward, CoD has gotten insufferable.

Biggest thing I hate about MW2 is their stupid store and the awful cosmetics that clash with everything else. It's supposed to be a MODERN WAR but you see people with rat costumes and silly colored skins that take you out of it
I don't mind silly cosmetics but the gameplay is extremely hit or miss. A lot has been said about SBMM but I will say there's definitely a noticeable shift in enjoyment once you go on a streak, there is definitely some fuckery that goes on with how much damage you do. Other than that the weapons are bland and there is very little balance, and the maps either range from good, to boring, and then to complete shit.
I would care about immersion if the game wasn’t terrible. I think that’s a pretty small issue considering how many issues the game has otherwise

it’s obvious the majority of the playerbase actually likes more “fun” skins including alot of the biggest cod content creators like Dysmo or Merkmusic
the camo grind is the absolute best part of MP. Generally I enjoy the game a good amount as a more casual player, but the camo progression is the best it’s ever been in my opinion. I dont have to do 150 crouched kills or 150 head shots or whatever to unlock a bunch of camos. Just 4 different challenges for each gun. It’s very very fun and promotes more weapon variability.
Long shot challenges can F off though
MWII is like Timmy Turner. Flawed because he had horrible parents, but somehow ended up being a good kid at heart.
great video. really enjoy your content
One of the biggest problems I have with modern warfare is infinity ward trying to make it more realistic, take the AC-130 mission for example you have to get clearance or whatever, but it’s a damn video game. It’s not supposed to be realistic, but of course they’re going to stray from arcade shooter and go for more tactical gameplay. Also really good video with some really good points.
You needed clearance in OG MW during that AC130 mission
Just keep that same energy
Because idiots think realism = Good
I'm glad that you point out the fact that no one is dying in this new trilogy because they want all these characters for seasonal cutscenes.
"Gaz" has already survived an entire game longer than Gaz did in the original Modern Warfare, where he died in the end mission of CoD 4. Also it feels like they just called Kyle Garrick "Gaz" because that name holds value to people who played the original.
Then you have Ghost, who also survived longer than he did in the original and even entered this new trilogy early for fanfare during the launch of Warzone.
Soap got here late, and we all know he's going to survive unlike he did in the original MW3 which was arguably as emotional as Roach and Ghost.
And I would not be surprised if we see Yuri and/or Roach in the next game, and they also don't do anything with them either.
It was starting to get to be a problem with by MW2 with all the character death. Al Fulani and Jackson were the only player deaths who felt like they were really earned. They originally killed off the whole squad besides soap, price surviving was a retcon that really didn’t make sense and they had to make up some reason why they’d gulag him and not soap if he survived.
MW2 starts killing off players in more big twists, and it was having diminishing returns. Soap’s death wasn’t good, it felt forced by then, and just kept him from having a complete arc to his story.
They were right to pull things back, it’s probably why they had to reboot the setting in the first place: everyone was dead and none of the classic characters really made it out of MW3 alive.
They’ve gone overboard with it but at least the characters aren’t being gotten rid of and they have more things to do.
and all the gaslighting from tiktok zoomers who think a character surviving some how makes them more of a character.
This may sound morbid but they actually need to kill off main characters for good in MW III or makes significant geopolitical changes to move the plot point. Soap can live since he is just introduced in this game but the others get enough character development to have a epic sacrifice. I wouldn't be surprised if they plan on killing Laswel but then chicken out. Doubt Roach will be included though since he is the player inserted
finally someone spoke out about the calling card issue. I thought i was the only one who noticed how bland it was
Great video 🤙 i stopped playing cod religiously after Black Ops 2
Recent Cods seemed to have a poor launch but slowly get better as months go by. Ironically enough MW22 was the complete opposite.
Its funny how every time I come back around to MW22, the servers are still laggy and bad. (i take 1-2 month long hiatuses cus the game sucks)
They’re just nostalgia baiting us with the name Modern Warfare, that’s it!! The campaign SUCKED!! Characters suck, villains sucks, filler missions, ugh!! Alejandro & Graves are great characters that the campaign story should’ve revolved more around with Valeria as the main villain imo. Hassan and Valeria are not believable or intimidating in any way. I love how Hassan crosses the border into the US just to go back across again, & when they actually capture the guy they’ve got to let him go because they don’t have a legal reason to hold him. 😂 Are you kidding me? He illegally crossed the border, works with the cartel, burned down houses IN THE USA, killed US OFFICERS & they can’t find a way to hold him?? “Creative writing,” I guess! 🤷🏾♂️ I agree that the AC-130 mission was too long & boring. Valeria is too cocky imo. She has information they need but wasn’t tortured or anything she just gives a little bit of the info so she can give a little more at the end. The OG MW characters would’ve gotten all the info they needed right then & there. Just ask Al Asad in CoD4, Waraabe & Volk in MW3. I agree with Ch0pper that the betrayal mission was bad. Why not make Laswell be the one who betrays TF141? While Ch0pper may like the Alone mission I didn’t really like it. The crafting system was not necessary imo. Soap is supposed to be a SF OPERATOR but doesn’t have any sort of weapons like a knife, tomahawk, doesn’t use the pieces of metal as weapons so he could grab a better weapon. You can’t convince me that all those houses, garages & bars didn’t have kitchen knives, screwdrivers, something he could use as weapons. Instead of the crafting system they could’ve had Soap save families from execution by the PMCs & because you help them they’ll help Ghost & Soap escape a bit easier by fighting the PMCs for their town as they make an escape. BTW Soap has a serious crush on Ghost I swear!! Killing Hassan doesn’t feel satisfying either, ohh wait, WTF WAS Ghost DOING FROM THAT BUILDING THE ENTIRE TIME? Ch0pper is right about the explanation of the missile that was launched in DOWNTOWN CHICAGO! It all feels lazy, & it is really. The name Modern Warfare is what carries it the same way it’ll carry it in the next game along with the name Makarov.

And on the mini map and not being hunted, it makes no sense when they make the footsteps so loud causing you to be hunted either way as soon as you decide to move.
The same criticism I had for 2019 applies exactly the same here. Solid cod, but could've been an all timer with a few core tweaks
He tryna be Act man so bad
I can see it in the title 😂😂
You showed the right Hassan when showing the picture of the bad guy😂😅
Told myself two years in a row i’m not buying cod then buy it on release date. Then play it for a month and never touch it again, i’m an idiot.
Just call it MW22. It's just easier that way. The game has great bones, but post launch support has been horrifically awful as it tried to cash grab.
nah calling it MW2 is fine. it’s not confusing as long as you use context clues and basic common sense to know the context to know when someone means the 2009 game or the 2022 game
besides another option could be to say “og mw2” if someone references that
@@lifeisshrt7929Ngl, calling it MW22 kinda works, not only because it came out in 2022, but it's Modern Warfare 2...2. I've already started calling OG MW2 MW2009. It rolls off the tongue easier
@@0uttaS1TE I mean i agree it’s not a bad idea to call it “MW22” but i’m just saying as long as you know the context of the conversation/topic of discussion when someone says “MW2” then that’s fine & shouldn’t be an issue unless you personally are dyslexic
i don’t have any issues anybody saying “MW22” or “og mw2” “mw2009” but i’m personally gonna call both games MW2. however it just depends on the context of the conversation/situation for other people to know which game i’m talking about
@@lifeisshrt7929crying about a non-issue is rather pathetic
@@0008loser when in any of my comments was i “crying”? its ironic you’re calling me pathetic when you got triggered over a 2 month old conversation 😂
I remember taking like an hour to beat Alone because I wanted to look at every detail and play with the stealth. It reminded me of a 1st person Splinter Cell game.
Those were the best back in the day.
One of the most annoying things is the matchmaking like they out you in a lobby full of sweats tryhards and some of the weapons are too op with certain attachments
When they said 3k devs worked on this game...I feel like what they meant was 3k devs wrote perimeters for the algo so AI could actually code the entire game....
Didn’t mw 2019 also have the same mini map system cause that’s what I remember and I only got this game cause I really enjoyed the beta but the full game did disappoint with the horrible choices like reload cancel and movement
All of those things were in the beta though….idk how you liked the beta but not the game when they basically had the same things
I was already disappointed with this years cod but after they removed streamers just for saying “leave kids alone” is enough for me to never play cod again shit is absolutely insane
This MWII had the success it did solely because of the huge impact the original MW2 had over a decade ago. The old Activision and the old IW and not the current money grubbing, selfish, emotionally unattached people working on it. 2009* MW2 was great because the people making it were passionate about it, now CoD is a paycheck to soulless clowns.
The reason a lot of people feel the older CODs (that weren't well accepted) are underrated is because COD has just progressively gotten worse with every release so players realize they took games like Ghosts for granted. I know I did.
This game has no soul. MW19, even with all the flaws (and it had A LOT), had so much passion and heart. Everything from the campaign to the soundtrack to even the multiplayer operators had so much soul and passion put into them.
The campaign in 2019 might not have been very good and suffers from the same issues as 22 but it was at least cohesive and wasn’t held together by bubble wrap like 22’s is. It wasn’t random setpieces mishmashed together.
The multiplayer in 2019 is incredibly bad at times but it at least had a skillgap. Was the skillgap minimal and unintentional? Yes. Slide canceling was obviously not an intended mechanic but it made the game so much more bearable and allowed for completely different kinds of strategies and tactics in a multiplayer experience that desperately needed that. MW22 took that already minimal skillgap and made it practically nonexistent. I don’t have a problem with slide canceling being removed, but removing reload canceling, shooting while sliding, bunnyhopping, nerfing jump ADS speed and making gameplay animations across the board slower in general is unacceptable. The servers and the spawns in 22 are somehow WORSE than 19’s. How does this even happen??? The PERK SYSTEM?? Who okay’d this??? Literally NOBODY asked for this nor did anyone campaign for it to be kept in the game after playing the beta.
The operators is another grievance of mine because a lot of them in 2019 were really interesting and had phenomenal voice acting (like Bale, Minotaur, Mace, Talon, etc.) and actually spoke like real people. MW22’s operators suffer from the same problems as Cold War’s and Vanguard’s. They all feel like corny self-inserts (some of them are), wattpad fanfic characters or mallninja sonic OCs with voice acting to match. The inconsistencies in art design also piss me off. What the hell happened? MW19, even with all the wacky skins, still had a consistent art style and aesthetic. MW22’s makes zero fucking sense across the board. Why does Konig and a bunch of other wear airsoft/paintball shinpads and elbow pads lmfao??? Why do some many operators have ridiculous experimental helmets with ugly mandibles or masks? They even did this to the fucking campaign characters they put in the multiplayer by giving them all crappy skull masks. Another thing is that you are actively getting LESS from the battlepass. MW19 and Cold War gave you 2 extra alternate styles/colorways for each Battle Pass skin you unlocked, now you only get the one you unlock via the tier and the only extra SINGULAR alternate style you get is locked behind a 30$ paywall.
Activision needs to also hurry up and decide wether they want these games to ACTUALLY be live service or not. There is zero excuse for this game to not have launched with MW19’s maps, operators, calling cards, emblems, etc. Especially considering how the current season revolves entirely around bringing back Nikto, an operator from Season 2 of 2019.
I actually think this game had a top 7 or 8 campaign. The story below par for sure, and the villains were forgettable, but I thought the main characters were a lot more fleshed out than their counterparts in the original MW trilogy, and the gameplay was top tier. Every mission was a breath of fresh air, and I never felt like I got too much of anything. While I think it ridded the back of the OG MW2 too much, it was just different enough that I was able to forgive it to an extent. And with the second to none gameplay, I was having fun at every moment of this campaign.
I feel like the reboot saga has the opposite issue with the original trilogy; instead of linear shooting you can do some actual creative stuff this time; instead of Michael Baying your way through the plot you just do much more mundane stuff like breaching houses and stuff; instead of having cool over the top evil villains that you love to hate, now you either have shady bureaucrats or boring generic warlord No.47489 with barely any characterization. The game basically has a "teenage" syndrome, where it tries to hard to be different from the original/parents (with some success) but too afraid to do anything too radical and inevitably half ass through a lot of things
Nah the "yearly Cod cycle" got me frfr 😭 😭 lmbooooo
i know im late to the party but hey nice video, i feel like you should make a short or tik tok or whatever about the sbmm part your where talking about it's huge and now i understand why i feelt like my games were so wierd.
What really makes me mad, is that Activision said this was a 2 year game. They straight up LIED to us. That’s the only reason I bought it. This has to be some kind of lawsuit.
You can’t trust AAA companies
Activision did not say that.
Activision didnt say that, the leakers and insiders did
Activision puts out MW2022 to irritate players with horrible UI, maps and undercooked content. The goal is for players to instantly hate the game, but micro-transactions to make it better and guarantees the purchase of the next game out of desperation. Months before the reveal of the next game, Activision releases a bunch of new maps and weapons to momentarily boost its reputation so people are fooled into buying the next game, before the toxic cycle restarts.
Dude....
I totally agree with you and everything your saying 💯%‼️
Because all i play is DMZ & now MWZ... I dont play multiplayer at all anymore because of the constant recycled content... (For examplle the same maps being used ect.)
great video chief
Mw2 has great aspects. I also did not play since MW 2019 and this game got me back into cod. I only play multiplayer. The gun play is great. The game feels smooth. Sound effects when getting hit markers or getting kills is satisfying in my opinion. It’s lacking in a lot of things obviously; red dots, foot steps are loud as hell, kill-streaks are lacking as well, I’d say 70% of the maps are not good/trash. The camo grind is easier, but still challenging. Overall I think this was a good game despite some glaring obvious flaws. I’d give it a 7.5/10.
In my opinion, the game is great, although I do agree with the community that the movement could be even better, or that the company should pay more attention to multiplayer rather than warzone, and that there is almost no replay value, its still a good game (aside from the ingame store bundles). Enjoyed the campaign, the co op missions are a lot better than the missions in MW2019, love the new weapon progression system on multiplayer, and love the verdansk feeling in vondel that a lot of people have been asking to bring back. Then again, while it may loose sweaty tryhards because of how sometimes the game feeling is a lot slower than previous titles, it can be a chance for new players that are new to the franchise, to have a better opportunity to engage with the series. Then again, people are allowed to have opinions of the game, yet I feel that a lot of people complain mainly because they have been drained out of call of duty, simply because they started playing since the beggining. They already got their hit of dopamine with black ops 2 and mw2.
Do you remember when everybody thought the mechanics in the alone mission were from DMZ 😂😂😂
Excellent review Ch0p! I haven’t bought a new cod since 2019, but these are still great to watch. HOWEVER, there have been times where I’ve been like, “screw it, I’ll buy it to play with friends and go against my morals”. That feeling recently got the best of me and I went to buy MW2 as it was only $30! Nope, only after I bought it, I read the fine print I had to click 2 pages in to read, which said “This is downloadable content - MW2 full game needed”. Submitted refund request and never heard back (wishful thinking).
I did not know there was a term for that. Very interesting and I’m glad it wasn’t just me saying that they were intentionally deceptive because I got scammed lol.
The fuck you crying about
I think MW2 is a decent CoD, the MP is pretty engaging, I hit crimson in ranked play, and am currently going for orion (my first camo grind) I dont mind sbmm, I hold over a 2kd and as a more hardcore player, it keeps the game engaging honestly, I am always given a challenge to overcome, I do understand why a more casual player wouldnt like it though, I think the maps are decent overall, especially the launch maps, I am not a fan of most of the dlc maps, I think not having red dots on the mini map is a good decision, you are forced to be engaged in your environment, also the compass gives you a general direction of where the enemies are, I think the movement is in a decent spot, its a bit more methodical, and less of a crutch, there are still things like snaking for people to abuse though. As for campaign, I loved the first half, up until the highway chase, that is the part where I mentally checked out and stopped caring, the gameplay strayed from pseudo realism to cheap gimmicky nonsense mission after mission, armoured enemies are terrible, I think I died more in this campaign on regular, than my veteran playthrough of WaW, overall subpar campaign and I have no plans to revisit it all. As for spec ops, HOT TAKE, but I enjoyed 2019's spec ops operations more than this game, again armoured enemies ruin it for me, 2019 was actually really hard and you had to comunicate and coordinate with your team to actually beat it, and you got some decent rewards as well to show for it.
Atleast someone said it, Red dots on minimap is for noobs. It takes no skill to know the exact players position just by looking at a map. Movement was the biggest skill gap that was lowered. Outside of dropshotting/snaking, there really is no counterplay movement since Sliding/jump shotting is cumbersome.
@@danjjjatest I honestly could go either way with movement, I just personally prefer when engagements are more methodical, I would take mw2 or 2019s MP over MW3 any day of the week, as mw3s engagements are quite far from that, as I can just see where everyone is at exactly all the time, as well as the fact the good positioning or route running just doesn't really pay off as much anymore, mostly due to 150 hp, most gunfights just boil down into slide canceling and jump shotting into each other, and whoever has the higher dps weapon usually wins, which is just incredibly boring if I'm being quite honest.
@@colonelsanders7351 Yea positioning seems to be more essential without the minimap. However, IW really screwed up after nerfing the sliding/jumpshotting. Removing that counterplay movement just prevents players from challenging.
@@danjjjatest Like I said I could go either way, but I don't particularly think movement or the lack there of, make or breaks a game, CoD was never a movement shooter in the first place, but in all fairness 2019 has my favorite mp out of all of them.
@@colonelsanders7351 The old CoD games atleast had B-hopping which was useful for challenging corners. It shows their total lack of game knowledge when they design maps for camping (MW2019) and then nerf movement for all the wrong reasons. Even the new Perk system made no sense. Perks are designed for playstyle and IW puts a freaking timer on it before you can get the perks you want? Is that what CoD players really wanted????
"Why was slide cancelling removed? Because it's something only a small fraction of the player base takes advantage of" Just untrue, everyone slide cancelled and it was always a stupid (and unintentionally bugged) mechanic.
Notice how two of the worst missions are missions that they’ve tried to recreate from older games. Shows how incapable the new devs are compared to the past
Cod MW22 campaign feels like a Marvel movie to me.
You were much too nice in your critiques. Can't wait to watch the mw3 review when u drop it
