I just want to say thank you for the incredible support on the old school COD videos. I've definitely struggled to keep up with the COD content recently with the state of MW2 (2022), so it's been awesome to see so much love on these throwback videos. Love you all ❤️ And yes, I completely chose the wrong file when editing and put in the Black Ops theme by mistake lol.
Sorry that making content has proven difficult as of late, but we've got your back! Take a break if you need and enjoy gaming as best you can. I know the algorithm can punish lowered content frequency, but your well being as a creator matters more.
I agree. Call of Duty now is just Fortnite pretending to be Call of Duty. Battle passes, seasons, superpowers and neon gun camos and character skins... it's laughable
You know the original developers of these games are so proud. Their 10 year games are getting player counts that this year's cod is struggling to. You know you made a good game when 10 years later, people are out buying and finding 2 generations ago consoles just to play it.
@@imrnp there was a picture from someone on bo1 that showed 109,000 players online. And even if you wanna say it's counting double, there are weeks where mw2 2022 only hits a peak of 70,000's. Also the videos on bo2 show 8-9,000 on just it... Out of peak time. So that's probably 10,000 on that one game, then there's bo1, mw2, mw3, cod4, and some on ghosts. Collectively there hitting similar numbers, maybe even passing if you take into account that some are ditching mw2 2022 for these older games.
While I agree to a degree, I think it's also that so many people are depressed these days, which comes with it a tendency toward and a longing for nostalgia. So, even if the newer COD games were amazing, they'd never elicit those nostalgic feelings and will always pale in comparison for those seeking that experience.
@@brutace9219 Could be wrong but I think those BO1 player counts are bugged. I remember going online to play some private matches a few years ago and it said something similar
No Battlepass, no skins, no blueprints, no 86 attachments per weapon, no field upgrades, no intricate maps with 100 spots to hide, no SBMM. This is how you make a game great. It seems to me like the more they added to the CoD franchise the worse the games got or is it just me?
Feels like they added more gimmicks to get people more hooked onto the game, but it came at the expense of the game’s core appeal. People may get bored of a game, take some time away and return to it. Seems like they tried to do everything to prevent that.
It’s because everything they have added into COD has been for predatory commercial reasons. In 2009, every mechanic the devs put into the game was designed with the intention of making the best game possible for its value. The gaming industry has changed.
I'm 27 now, but your video took me straight back. Thanks for enabling all of us who share the same nostalgia to live vicariously through your gameplay.
I hope everyone who is responsible for MW2 is proud of what they accomplished. I hope they have seen all the love and support we have given this game for 13 years. Thank you so much for creating this masterpiece. I have memories that will last a lifetime playing this game. And I am so happy its back!
I bought an Xbox one X and went in, bro the menu music of MW2 sent me back to the past. Those late nights on not only the weekdays, disobeying my mom to play, lol but especially on the weekends where I was allowed to sleep at 1am, I took full advantage. Life was simpler back then, more enjoyable.
DO IT. I picked one up on FB marketplace yesterday and played for like 6 hours last night. It was the best feeling ever to be back playing the greatest COD of all time.
Honestly it feels like I’ve gone to sleep and woken up in 2009 with all this MW2 content! Couldn’t be happier bro there was a guy with his 1v1 record in his clan tag😭 take me back
I realized something, an epiphany if you will. The older CoD's were not REALLY faster, but the compact maps and quite footsteps and rushing nature of these games made them more fun and fast-paced! And of course, the older CoD's were designed for fun and not to serve agendas or cater to little timmy's + microtransaction etc.... The nostalgia man, MW2 was my first Online CoD and it is the best till this day! Something about the 2000's, pre technology madness, no agendas forced, people still joked and visited each other way often, life had color, wrestling was good, youtube was booming, no responsibilities as kids, getting together with friends and playing CoD......Everything about the 2000's screamed fun and peak life lol! I am so nostalgic and overwhelmed that I am actually about to have an anxiety attack lol! After 2012 something just changed globally, After 2016 madness started, after the lockdowns, we reached no return points regarding everything!
2016 was the peak of my life, for sure. I know I can't be alone. I don't hate life now or anything but something has definitely changed. I'm just not sure if it's the world.... Or me.
This brings back the craziest memories. I used to live in Search and Destroy lobbies and eventually found my enjoyment playing knife-only rocking a ghillie suit. I would just focus on outplaying and outsmarting other players over just trying to beam them with a UMP. Looking at this footage now it's crazy I was even able to find spots to hide to sneak and ambush people running around. So many good times, thanks for sharing
being a ninja in this game was my life's blood. I LOVED using Cold Blooded pro with the Ghillie suit and playing dead, following people around to make sure they see me following them around like a jerk for the kill cam. One of those types kills was better than any normal ones. Knife and throwing knife only became a standard and I just never touched the guns in the game except when prestige ing. I was really bummed when Blops came out and the perks made being undetectable on radar not possible as well as not being able to play dead.. but then I fell in love with nazi zombies and forgot until MW3 where it still wasn't as good, but better. ❤😂
PSA: You do not need an Xbox 360 to play COD. The digital version of these games are available for purchase on the Xbox marketplace via backwards compatible. I went with an Xbox Series S. Cheers
this brings tears to my eyes knowing all the good times and knowing that as a grown man that all my friends have moved on with their lives and there will never be all 5 of us in a lobby talking crap to other people and making inside jokes 😔😔
I hope this game never dies this new surge of people playing again brings me back to the days of getting off school and playing this game till I go to bed
Just had to like this video. MW2, Black Ops 1, MW3 and Black Ops 2 were The absolute best games and no COD will ever be even close to those titles. Ao many great memories. Wish all of them were remastered, I’d definitely come back and play COD again then. Been waiting since 2013 for this 😅
Really I miss these good old days of MW2 . Not only for gaming. But when I saw these maps , these colours , this weapons a lot come back to my mind. Then I was around 9 to 10 and now I am going 24. I love this game and for me will be the best ever. Respect …
Streaks in old cods were so fuckin rewarding you just knew you about to do some damage when you got something. Now it's like "God, I hope this shit get's me a kill or two"
@@pricklycatsss I agree but I have no place to complain. I was that mf in bo2 running 2 black hats and engineer that wouldn't even let you keep a UAV up for more than 3 seconds 😅
this brings back so many memories. constantly being called a cheater, multiple nukes in a row with ACR, the OP dual 1880s pre nerf, quick scoping, the intervention, pistol with tac knife and commando pro, getting gold camo. Thanks for the nostalgia Handler
Yup, and I was the guy that complained about every class you just mentioned and made it my mission to use anything other then those classes. Fun times.
I love that these games are playable again. I played with my friends all day yesterday. SnD and quickscoping in private matches and we even ran some mike meyers, it was just so much fun. I think I got a new kill record for myself on this game with a 20 bomb last night on Afghan with the ACR. I tell ya what tho, using a controller after 2 years on MnK on these newer cods is ROUGH. I've been playing on 10 sensitivity and its sooo fast but the sniping is so good. This is back when cod took skill and everyone wasnt carried by their aim assist.
The first CoD that i started playing SnD and then after that I never played it since. I remember running the Intervention and the AA12 with a heartbeat sensor and was the last guy left. I swapped to my AA12 and got a ping that the last guy was behind me and blasted him and won the round. After that I got hooked on to SnD. Good times man…
this is the kinda video needed to show nostalgia riddled, peaked in high school kind of people that you literally can just go back to the good ol days. doritoes are still in stores, servers are still up, back compat and PC is good as ever, and you can still play on the couch with your mates. I understand many seeing this game as superior to the newer entries, but if i have to read another sob story about "them good ol days" im gonna noob tube myself
YES ! These are the CODs we want and deserve! We seriously need to stop tolerating the BS of modern titles. Keep these videos coming! You should convince Jolt and the others to hop on. (I know KBM to controller is difficult, I'm struggling as well but it's worth it for the golden age CODs)
I literally subbed at the beginning of MW19 less than 15K subs and my man’s demeanor hasn’t changed one bit… Youre channel the epitome of consistency bringing success!
I haven’t touched an Xbox since back in the day when I owned a 360 and used to spend every hour coming home from school and jumping in a lobby with all my school friends. Watching this brought back such nostalgia, it truly was a golden age of gaming
Ngl my friend came over to my apt today and we played mw2 and BO1 split screen. This shit felt like summer 2011 again when I was still in school and on summer break. I love it.
Damn dude, just had a nostalgia rush from watching this.... PS3 MW2 was amazing. Remember hosting lobby's teaching people how to quick scope. SOH pro with the thermal to get them use to it. So many after school memories on this fucking game. Now I'm out here working like a mad man doing maintenance work, crazy how fast time flys. Thanks for sharing bro
just wanted to say before i make my comment thank you for you effort and time you put / have been putting in the videos lately, it never goes unnoticed mate.
I am genuinely enjoying all of cod creators playing and actually enjoying older cods. Like now they are not forced to play the latest one and actually enjoy their stuff
My feelings exactly, my man. Played last Friday night for HOURS and genuinely felt like I was 14 again. Also using the BO1 music was a great choice for the intro
@@LoganChristiansonhe video started again and I was like “he’s right” but a little after the opening the BO1 music starts. Fades in at 0:11 and gets into the meat of the song around 0:25
I know it sounds similar, but that is music from MW2. I wouldnt be surprised if they lifted bits from it for BO, but the strings you hear are distinctive to MW2. No other CoD game uses strings like Zimmer did for mw2
@@LoganChristianson in the very beginning, it is MW2 but at 0:11 BO1 menu music fades in for sure. If I’m wrong I’ll admit but I’ve never heard that music in MW2 once
Just got this game again on the xbox store... £12.50 here in the UK and it runs on the One/Series S/X consoles lovely. Going to give it a go when i get back in and see how good these servers are, and just how many people are playing
Handler, in honor of going back to the oldies I am watching this the way a teenage me would have when mw2 first came out; in 480p with speakers that are blasted to shit from overruse
THATS IT! I’m going on a search for an Xbox 360 haha! Favela is such an amazing map. This game is so special and it’s amazingly simple. Great perks and weapons as well as actually planned out maps not just a taken section from the big BR map we have now Keep posting OG cods pls!
How come these graphics and speed aged so freaking well, these textures on the guns are so unbelievably realistic and the speed feels just right to have some fun.
I remember the week this game came out I stayed up all night trying to get a skin for my ACR when I had to print and present a project the next morning. Gamed all night, at 5:00am I switched to the project, got it done by 7:00, had it ready to present by 9:00, did alright on it. I mean I only worked on it for 3 hours after a MW2 bangger and got a decent grade. All worth it! Man the good old times of college and being able to do all of this and feel fine the rest of the day.
Old cods certainly had some magic to them. I never got to play MW2 in it’s hayday, but I played MW3 when it came out and enjoyed the hell out of it as a kid
The title of this makes me feel ancient. My "kid days" FPS choices were The 1st 3: Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake or N64 Golden Eye lol. Wasn't until late highschool that Half Life then CS came out.
Even playing the first Modern Warfare is so refreshing. Simple, yet so fun. No one has an advantage over you except skill. Everyone is using basically the same gun and perks. About to hop on now!
my mom didnt let me have an xbox so my only chance to play was at sleepovers. i wouldn't sleep, i would play all night and my friends would wake up to a new prestige.
Happy this came up in my recommendations. Played actively 2010-2014 then passively until 2016, and a bit during covid. Acquired 2800 game hours lol. Havent played in several years now but man I miss it.
I also can’t believe I’m watching these videos from you handler . Back then it was xDarkness IReapZz Pamaj . Hell even Chris Smoove 😹( ifykyk) I’m glad this game still smacks .
Silenced UMP45, Lightweight, Marathon, Commando was my fucking JAM on MW2. Absolutely the most fun sprinting CQB setup. Something about frantically sprinting all over the place like a crackhead with a silent SMG and the ability to teleport a knife into someone's neck from 10 yards was just hilariously fun. God I miss this game.
There is input lag How to fix it: Settings>TV & display options>video fidelity & overscan>Overrides and choose HDMI (I also change the resolution to 720 and HZ to 30)
played this game so much when I was in 10th grade back in 2010 best memories. definitely looks dated now though, back then these were peak graphics hat looked amazing at the time.

it's so depressing that we'll never get another CoD like this
Atleast it’s alive and well now

Archaic? Wash your damn mouth out!
The movement in this game hit different. Its so unique to itself that no other CoD has replicated it.
Loved how in the older cods, certain maps have certain player models and voice lines
This is the best thing to come to the OG players

I am genuinely enjoying all of cod creators playing and actually enjoying older cods. Like now they are not forced to play the latest one and actually enjoy their stuff
love it, must say I was confused in the intro when I heard Black ops 1 soundtrack but glad these games have come back to life!
Love you playing and giving some attention to these old style CODs keep it up Handler
My feelings exactly, my man. Played last Friday night for HOURS and genuinely felt like I was 14 again. Also using the BO1 music was a great choice for the intro
There is no BO1 music in this. All the music is from MW2.
@@LoganChristiansonnah the BO1 multiplayer music is at the beginning of the video for sure
@@LoganChristiansonhe video started again and I was like “he’s right” but a little after the opening the BO1 music starts. Fades in at 0:11 and gets into the meat of the song around 0:25
I know it sounds similar, but that is music from MW2. I wouldnt be surprised if they lifted bits from it for BO, but the strings you hear are distinctive to MW2. No other CoD game uses strings like Zimmer did for mw2
@@LoganChristianson in the very beginning, it is MW2 but at 0:11 BO1 menu music fades in for sure. If I’m wrong I’ll admit but I’ve never heard that music in MW2 once
Man this bring back such good memories. Watching hutch,seananners,fpsrussia,opticmidnight and a bunch of others im spacing.
Just got this game again on the xbox store... £12.50 here in the UK and it runs on the One/Series S/X consoles lovely. Going to give it a go when i get back in and see how good these servers are, and just how many people are playing
We can't relive it in the glory days, but this will do.
Handler, in honor of going back to the oldies I am watching this the way a teenage me would have when mw2 first came out; in 480p with speakers that are blasted to shit from overruse
THATS IT! I’m going on a search for an Xbox 360 haha!
Favela is such an amazing map. This game is so special and it’s amazingly simple. Great perks and weapons as well as actually planned out maps not just a taken section from the big BR map we have now
Keep posting OG cods pls!
you can play it on any xbox
Ogs checking in
They snapped so hard with this game. Arguably the best multiplayer of all time.
The maps are phenomenal. I mean look at the vertical plays on each map shown. The maps, the guns, the kill streaks ❤
Ive been playing online mw2 again and im loving it
OG MW, BO 1&2, Bungie's Halo... omg those memories
My guy Skimpert was unfortunately a victim of the cursed COD timing. 13:55
How come these graphics and speed aged so freaking well, these textures on the guns are so unbelievably realistic and the speed feels just right to have some fun.
I remember the week this game came out I stayed up all night trying to get a skin for my ACR when I had to print and present a project the next morning. Gamed all night, at 5:00am I switched to the project, got it done by 7:00, had it ready to present by 9:00, did alright on it. I mean I only worked on it for 3 hours after a MW2 bangger and got a decent grade. All worth it! Man the good old times of college and being able to do all of this and feel fine the rest of the day.
The golden era of Call of Duty and gaming, now we're all grown up...
man i’ve been loving these videos so much handler!!
Old cods certainly had some magic to them. I never got to play MW2 in it’s hayday, but I played MW3 when it came out and enjoyed the hell out of it as a kid
Bro i can't get enough of the older cod vids 💯🔥💪🏾🤘🏾.
"check those corners"... proceeds to not check the corner haha. Nice video enjoyed the nostalgia
The title of this makes me feel ancient. My "kid days" FPS choices were The 1st 3: Doom, Wolfenstein, Quake or N64 Golden Eye lol. Wasn't until late highschool that Half Life then CS came out.
5:28 lmao this poor guy 😂😂
Even playing the first Modern Warfare is so refreshing. Simple, yet so fun. No one has an advantage over you except skill. Everyone is using basically the same gun and perks.
About to hop on now!
my mom didnt let me have an xbox so my only chance to play was at sleepovers. i wouldn't sleep, i would play all night and my friends would wake up to a new prestige.
Thanks for whipping out the P90 Silencer Handler, I haven’t heard that sound effect since 2013. Now we just need a SPAS-12 Ravage montage 👌🏻
Man late night CoD sessions bring back this wave of absolute nostalgia
The only time Ive missed having my old xbox lol, talk about nostalgia. Just the music alone is an instant throwback
Happy this came up in my recommendations. Played actively 2010-2014 then passively until 2016, and a bit during covid. Acquired 2800 game hours lol. Havent played in several years now but man I miss it.
Not having to worry about ur dead silence running out and having to slow down is so refreshing
the 2019 handler outro music always has a special place in my heart...
Seriously. This brings back MEMORIES!
staying up all night, drinking Mountain Dew, room getting hot because of the tv and PlayStation…..
Damn.
bro this reminds me of my love the first modern warfare and black ops 1 - 2, I was staying up all night on my ps3 good memories man
I also can’t believe I’m watching these videos from you handler . Back then it was xDarkness IReapZz Pamaj . Hell even Chris Smoove 😹( ifykyk) I’m glad this game still smacks .
Silenced UMP45, Lightweight, Marathon, Commando was my fucking JAM on MW2. Absolutely the most fun sprinting CQB setup.
Something about frantically sprinting all over the place like a crackhead with a silent SMG and the ability to teleport a knife into someone's neck from 10 yards was just hilariously fun.
God I miss this game.
Mw2 SnD was my peak CoD addiction man. Maybe I should hop back on
OG MW2 with OG Black Ops music in the background!? I think I just had a massive nostalgia overdose
Man, the footsteps are unmatched in this game. Like I can actually hear where a person is coming from. Insane.
There is input lag
How to fix it: Settings>TV & display options>video fidelity & overscan>Overrides and choose HDMI (I also change the resolution to 720 and HZ to 30)
Best time of my life when I was playing MW2. I really miss playing the game. Goosebumps hearing all the sounds. Wish I could reverse time
played this game so much when I was in 10th grade back in 2010 best memories. definitely looks dated now though, back then these were peak graphics hat looked amazing at the time.
I was in elementary school back then and used to play MW2 over and over on my 360. Also used to binge on Black Ops 2 and Advanced Warfare
Crazy how a game this old have better audio than the 97% of fps games that we have these days...
I've never watched someone who literally repeats his exact footsteps every single round
