I rush a lot and have been dropping multiple 100 kills games. I honestly would say dead silence and ghost is key. And I’ve found the less attachment’s on my guns the better.
I hate IW games because you die instantly. As soon as your brain is able to comprehend you're getting shot, you die. Unlike Treyarch or Sledgehammer CODs where you still can possibly turn on them and out gun them. IW games nope. Just a game of who sees who first not who has the better aim.

The first DLC maps need to be Favela, Terminal, Highrise, and a new map They definitely need those old school MW2 maps back in the game to create some hype and nostalgia for the OG players
Not to mention the fact that a majority of the things they REFUSE to change, rarely even work the way they’re supposed to to begin with. I’d imagine developers like to evaluate how their games are operating but I guess not.
19:50 I found out that you can cancel the uav animation by going prone right after calling it in. It removes the radio animation but there is still a delay when you try to call uav and counter uav back to back
The UAV and Counter UAV statement that you made hit the nail on the head!! If you crouch while crawling it, the character goes into this awkward animation and you can't do anything for a few seconds
My favorite thing about this game is the camo grind. The camos look great (even the base ones) and they make me want to grind out each weapon. It's also nice not having to grind each weapon to level 70 like in Vanguard.
One of the biggest issues i’ve had while playing the game is the UAV/CUAV spam. One UAV snowballs into more for the enemy team and there’s no way to stay off the radar until you’re half way into the match. and if you try to shoot them down you’re looking into the clouds for a UAV while getting hunted down. Then when ghost is unlocked you’re permanently off radar (unless you shoot even with a suppressor) which encourages people to not move. Ghost should work like blacks ops ghost as it’s the best way to balance the perk and up the speed at which you earn perks bc obv they won’t change the entire system.
@@jahimuddin2306 All they did was take Warzone locations, shrink them down for ground war and make them small enough for 6v6. At least they made some maps; while they just made 5 guns and put a different variant in each class
I dont get how maps in cod4, bo1/2 and mw2/3 were almost all just at very least good. These days every map is like a flat plane with buildings and obstacles
That’s how you farm kills nerd. That’s the smart way to play choke point modes. You wanna get high averages, just play as a rusher in obj modes. It’s actually surprising how little anyone does to try and stop it. All you gotta do is run around the edges of the map and make flanks while the other guys just sit on obj. Notice how he broke 100 kills doing so, and I average around 60 doing so, while the guys in my matches seem to be capped at 30 kills. Blame it on the broken ass SBMM. Don’t hate the player hate the game.
@@reekyfartinyou’re the nerd kid I play hard pint to play hard point not to play tdm in a hard pint game ur the reason I leave after having 200 seconds captured and team has 0
I'm more annoyed about people not popping up on the minimap when shooting unsuppressed weapons. Like they'll make it so I can hear people through walls, and pre aim for an instant headshot. But they won't put enemies on the map? I literally never use the map now unless there's a UAV.
Not only kill streaks take forever to call in, I’ve died so many times activating dead silence because of the stupid sound telling them where I am, the animation taking so long I’m left hip firing, and the TTK being low. I enjoy the low TTK a lot, but animations are ridiculously slow. Bring back bo2 days, I loved that game to bits
I got to say as a casual who got back in via the beta, I swear the sbmm got worse. SBMM doesn't help casual players AT ALL, it makes every game feel like a competitive game. I really question where this idea of "sbmm is for casuals" came from Only reason I keep playing is because I know I'll have a shitter lobby the very next game, it's too predictable and tiring of a matching system, horrible.
So you're gonna waste 10+ minutes to play and actually enjoy the game you payed for for 10+ mins? That's dumb asf lmfao I swear anyone who plays this shit either has half their brain missing or Stockholm syndrome

Fantastic honest, and absolutely on point review. Definitely get a sub and thumbs up. Reasons for state of COD: 1) Corp Greed. 2) Box Ticking/Diversity hiring. They got women who hear the word COD and think of fish n chips, making maps, instead of bringing Coffee and Sandwiches to the James Halliday's of the world.. I PREDICTED so many years ago, when I saw this trend start to transpire, that hiring based on ANYYYYYYYYYYYYYTHING other than 'the best PERSON for the job' (with NO exceptions) would utterly devastate the quality of, basically EVERYTHING.
This is so entirely on point. Plenty of super talented Women out there but I fully see what you're saying. This has happened with so many good book/film/TV franchises. Can you say Star Wars... LOTR?? Etc.
@@stevetodd5383 Yes I am using heavy handed words just to make a hard hitting, valid point. And it IS entirely valid, and a frightening reality in todays twisted world.
The red dots have always been there to help bad or new players learn better awareness. For example, it teaches them routes, flanks, power positions, spawns, etc. It is literally there to help you learn the basics of being good at COD awareness wise. Then you've got private lobbies W/Bots to work on your Centering, Movement, and gun skills while encompassing what you learn from the Mini-Map. Not for Pubstompers. Yes, if you get good enough you could technically "Pubstomp" the lobby but not every game. Even the ones doing it back then making it seem like you could. Would use friends or accounts that had horrible stats in order to get into the protected lobbies.
To do this you need to have 2 separate copies of the game. One account is a reverse boosted account, while the 2nd is your actul account. All you do is start a kobby with your boosted account, then session join using your main
@@MrPanggs That is a $140 solution to something that shouldn’t be a big problem anymore. I barely wanted to pay for one copy much less 2. Id rather suffer and not hand more money for a subpar product to potentially fix an issue
@@MrPanggs Imagine being that much of a degenerate that you NEED to play people worse than you to have fun. This isn't a comment directed at you, just the idea.
I did notice the cuav and uav back to back feels like waiting forever 😂. Also I really hope they sort the license for those maps I can't believe they didn't sort that out. Great points
I noticed in someone's vid who was playing spec ops, there was the dome map from MW3 as a part of a bigger map. That was my favourite map, and if that comes damn that'd be sick, idk why no one's talking about it
@@pinheadlarry7335 it’s probably about 70$, I’ve heard the leak where they are gonna charge more then usual because they gotta make up for not creating a new game next year. It shouldn’t be paid when there’s so many people buying skins and BP’s worth 10$+ a pop. It’s insanely bad and laughable but I digress.
If they wanted people to use different guns with the new unlock system they could've just gave weapon specific double xp days, or days where progress towards camos is doubled
I can’t play cod for a long time because of how long it takes to load in/out and the time in between games. It’s literally faster for me to just switch games entirely than wait to find a lobby, make sure it’s a decent map, and load in.
I only play dom, TDM, and hardpoint the chaos is crazy. Everything exploding around you. Can barley see with all the bullets, blood, kill streak explosions and the constant shaking of the screen. It’s the true COD experience.
I have been enjoying the game a lot actually,yeah the loadout and perk system are terrible ,but the gameplay is smooth and very nice.The only major things they need to make it a top5 cod would be a few maps ,patching the release bugs , a few quality of life changes and there you have it all easy things to fix which gives me a little hope.
@DJ airsoft and gaming oh btw i just watched a video saying that sledgehammer games will make a 70$ dlc expansion next year for this game with a lot of content,kinda sucks itll be behind a pay wall.
i remember watching birdman as a kid when bo2 smackin sweaties was his thing. man. i missed you hittin 1 milli but congrats man. i'm glad you still make content cause i'm gonna be tuned in. gonna go back and watch smackin sweaties lol. they were awesome videos. and i agree with everything you said.. mw2 is an unfinished game.
"you cant wait 9 months to add really good maps into your game, by then no one gives a fuck about your game anymore". If only the team at 343 heard this warning sooner. XD
bro what kind of a lobby was that, not once in my entire play through of this game have i seen opponents as shit as the ones in this video. absolutely nuts man
Tuning has potential. You can take something with useless positives, turn those positives into negatives, and bump up some of the negatives into positives, effectively turning a trash attachment into something good. The problem is how much do they affect the weapon. The amount of testing is too much for more to care right now. If an attachment reduces ADS speed, you can tune it to increase ADS speed. So its not black and white as initially thought. Ps. How you get matched with such bad players. Every game i play is sweat lord mlg, camp masters, guys covering every line of sight and abusing every mechanic they can to win. Its exhausting.
I used to watch all your videos back in 2016 but then I stopped and completely forgot about your channel. I’m surprised you’re still making content and I enjoyed this video and subscribed on this account ❤
To me the core gameplay and the maps is actually good, but it's all the weirdness on top that brings it down. If they can just fix the UI and not showing stats for attachments, add the missing features, and actually maintain proper live service this game will be amazing. I'm not one to like things that benefit casuals at the expense of the overall experience, but I can live with the current minimap and dead silence situation if the game was actually complete.
The things that bother me the most are the spawns rotating all around the map so you can’t think tactically and can get hit from behind when it makes no sense, and the maps themselves are not that good
I took out my PS3 and played some Black Ops 1 and it is sad how these modern games can't compete with the replayability and content the older games came out with back in the day.
Pretty sure there's a cat in their office that just sleeps on the keyboard and the only keys that work is ctrl + V an when they come in an see it they don't know who's coming up with the genius ideas, but they keep it.
Activision catfished everybody with the lack of content and none of you even know it. They gave you the same guns with 5 different mags and said here’s your 51 guns. But in reality they really only dropped 19-23 guns, bc in old cods those same variants or “changing of receivers” would be under the same gun. Ex) In Mw19 you can use the Ak and make it the Rpk, ak74u, etc. Changing the Spr from a marksman rifle to a sniper just by changing the stock and barrel. Another would be changing the m4 to a m16 by putting on 3rd burst or a Ftac by putting on socom rounds. Crazyy how nobody realizes this.
for me the biggest issues i have with mw2, is issues to do with making the game more ratty, so no mini map pings from shooting, lack of movement, like it feels too stiff and too punishing, like sliding is damn near useless, the ttk also is a little too quick, dont get me wrong i like fast ttk but its too fast in this game, especially if someone catches you offgaurd and their just hardscoping a corner.
This match was an example of what my first match looked like. After that, constantly playing with level 55+ tryhards. He shoots a guy and then the second guy. In tryhard lobbies you get 2 shots out and you're allready dead.
Salute to Birdman for playing this game for 100 hours you gotta be a warrior for having to go through all the safe spaces and sbmm for that long, also FREE BIRDMAN TWITCH GOT A MASSIVE L FOR THIS ONE 🤦🏻♂️
@@rubenthekid idek man i haven’t played a cod since mw2019 and the sbmm in that game was crazy. I knew it was going to get worse when i tried out the cold war beta and i couldn’t even last 2 games with the sbmm
Birdman, I remember when I was a casual long ago, I NEVER looked at the minimap. I was trash and just felt like the minimap was too complicated. It was only when I started to actually get good that I even looked at it, much less utilized it. I think that's the train of thought the developers have with removing enemies off of it, trash players aren't looking at all, don't let the good ones have extra advantage.
I said this but I’ll still To explain ttk, the ttk is actually slower then ghosts and the classic mw3 believe it or not. Well statistically speaking it is. You can get the exact stats but to the reason why it feels faster is because unlike previous titles the hit detection in this game is leagues ahead. Adding health or decreasing head shot multiplier would be the only way to make it slower. Honestly I think they need to do both, like add 25 health and slightly decrease head shot multiplier, like if it’s 1.5 go to 1.3
Very good summary. I agree the biggest thing holding this game back is the map pool. Not only is the map pool very small, all the maps are the same size.
Is reverse boosting a thing in this game? Cuz I never get games like this where the people look at you and don't even shoot. Im getting cross mapped by a handgun.
yea it is and yes he does it, he admits it in Cold War. If you noticed that a green player on the minimap was there but after a minute it got kicked for inactivity. Nothing against it either, its for the entertainment value for the 100+ kill games.
ak74u is and AR, because it is an AR. And yea the tun recoil is super low in this game and first thing i said when i first played is in the beta is “damn the visual recoil is crazy i cannot see shit.” also abt scavenger i think they need to be using same gun class as you
Imma say it like this as a guy who's a filthy casual because he wants to play every game he can possibly get his hands on, it's good to hop on the game and not get fucking farmed by guys who play this game for hours on end and have more time on their hands. Even if cod was my main game I could never play it for 8 hours straight.
aim assist is beyond broken in this game. sometimes it's like having literal aimbot and other times it's non existent. it's crazy how "good" some players think they are when they snap onto me from 30m away with an iron sights AR and basically trace me as I strafe. never played a shooter on console where someone has consistently been able to aim like that.
I have been playing call of duty since #1 came out.. but there is no way I will be paying now $70 for a 50% complete call of duty. love you Search & Destroy fam and it's been years of amazing 40 oz's and 1 v Whatever clutches but I think its time we stop this madness. Also Birdman, thanks for all the hours u put in as a CoD pro.
Just wait till season one drops and then I would say dropping the 70$ is fair. Don’t forget this game is on a 2 year cycle, next year there ain’t no cod coming out.
@@Longshlong99 If they added combat record, removed sbmm and added a league play, added red dot mini map when shooting, brought back lobbies and map voting, reduced ttk, removed these trash maps and made good ones, maybe I'd actually buy it because those are all basic things from the best cods.
Literally any feature y’all can think of that THEY took out would be great. But don’t forget we’re paying EXTRA now for all these missing features. I don’t buy a $15 happy meal for just the fucking burger.
@@roadkillreborn3047 Well people that know better should stop buying the games until they make things the way they should be again. I haven't bought cod since I returned mw19 a week after it released, that's where they started removing a ton of things nobody asked for and really pushing the "gold star for participation" yet people praise it because it has good graphics.
Overall great video, but theres a few things id like to point out that are wrong or I disagree with: The TTK is fast yes, but if we compare it to old cods that had stopping power as a perk, its actually a bit slower. MW games TTK have always been fast, even if it comes at the expense of competitiveness. At the end of the day its a casual arcade shooter first, and competitive sport shooter second. The minimap functions as a classic COD radar if your team has a UAV active. As long as your team has a UAV up enemy teams gunshots will show on the map, but only if they dont have a silencer. This change seems to be made to make UAVs more important, but right now they seem like a huge advantage that sways games. So the suppressor is what seems to be bugged. The gunsmith system is not terrible or confusing, although I do agree that we need to be able to see exact % values on each attachment, and that a lot of attachments are useless. but modding a gun is as easy as: use it, find the guns pros and cons, use attachments to mitigate the cons. Any time I do that the gun ends up significantly better than the base form. So I dont understand how you could find this system confusing or bad besides the lack of exact numbers. Also you definitely reverse boosted for this gameplay lmao.
lol the red dots help good players make movement decisions. If you’re running to an area and you see your partner die in a 1v1 on the map, you can make a decision to advance or retreat easier if you can determine the source of the death. we’re they sniped off or shotgunned in the chest. now, you literally have to guess that your teammate died to a rushing player or a bouncing betty. (technically not cuz of the feed, but you get my point on the variation of deaths)
there’s no way i’ve been watching your channel for almost 10 years now.. i first started watching back on bo2 times your league play road to master lol, you got me into league 🙂
My SBMM is so brutal it makes me want to quit most times. One game it’s sweats holding angles and camping, the next I’m hitting quad feeds with my sniper
i’ve learned on the ps5 to not get the installing screen is to restart the game and once you load scroll to the very end of like the daily news shit that always pops up and you shouldn’t get it
In MW 2019 I’d reliably drop chopper gunners and AC 130s, at least once per game. I was top 2% worldwide. Now I struggle to get care packagers. SBMM is insane. I’ll probably return it.
Theater mode. create your own emblems and camo. Customize character clothes, accessories ect.. No disbanding lobbies. No party chat in S&D, Stats and fav clips, weapon, shown when highlighted on player in lobby, point system for kills and objective plays. Connection based matchmaking, Sbmm as well as ranked playlist all options, remove lag compensation, default no cross play, option for cross play with just consoles to remove the possibilities of 3rd party software (hacks) that PC will always have, leaderboards, a reward system for completing tasks only instead of time played. Money system like BO1 and add wager matches as well. Any micro transaction should only be cosmetic. Anything I'm forgetting?
i promise the loud footsteps is to punish moving alot. i play a game called intruder and the game includes very loud footsteps which forces you to play with stealth and attention
With the suppressor making you essentially invisible in the minimap it renders all other muzzle attachments useless. With the suppressors only working under UAV conditions it allows players to experiment and use muzzles that grand them better control, etc. And many users have tested the suppressors and ghost perk. They work just fine. Under UAV conditions or not. Just look it up.
The AKS-74U is correctly categorized as an assault rifle. A common misconception is that it is an smg but that is inaccurate as it is chambered in 5.45x39mm which is an intermediate rifle cartridge.
I can understand the frustration. However, being someone who is nowhere near the caliber I was back in the World at War days, this game has brought me back. Last COD I purchased was black OPs 2 or 3. Once you learn to slow down and be more methodical/surgical you win. I just ads before i turn a corner. 9/10 I get the jump on the guy tac sprinting. I tack sprint to mount on a corner to get angles and to move to cover. Patience my young lads.
The point behind the weapon system is to branch weapons systems together. The attachments are annoying, but the guns then selves are all in the same family.
I'm surprised no one really talks about last stand being snuck back into the game the ULTIMATE noob perk.
but its "tactical and realistic" lmfao
The games already easy to play you master a lot of stuff in 2 weeks tops. The dev's think this shit is Tekken where it takes 2 weeks to learn a move.

My favorite thing about this game is the camo grind. The camos look great (even the base ones) and they make me want to grind out each weapon. It's also nice not having to grind each weapon to level 70 like in Vanguard.
One of the biggest issues i’ve had while playing the game is the UAV/CUAV spam. One UAV snowballs into more for the enemy team and there’s no way to stay off the radar until you’re half way into the match. and if you try to shoot them down you’re looking into the clouds for a UAV while getting hunted down. Then when ghost is unlocked you’re permanently off radar (unless you shoot even with a suppressor) which encourages people to not move. Ghost should work like blacks ops ghost as it’s the best way to balance the perk and up the speed at which you earn perks bc obv they won’t change the entire system.
Its kinda crazy how the copyrighted maps are probably the best maps in the game smh
yeah cause cod can never make good original maps anymore. they have to rely on old maps and copying shit in real life. smh
Really shows how little effort they are putting into original maps.
@@jahimuddin2306 All they did was take Warzone locations, shrink them down for ground war and make them small enough for 6v6.
At least they made some maps; while they just made 5 guns and put a different variant in each class
I dont get how maps in cod4, bo1/2 and mw2/3 were almost all just at very least good. These days every map is like a flat plane with buildings and obstacles
your cod videos are so good dude. no bias and you have the same perspective as all of us
The only review we need
Im glad you mentioned the counter uav and uav taking forever to call it, i've had so many times where I'm calling both of em and get shot
"I mainly play objective modes"
Shows a game where he spend 0 seconds on the hardpoint.
“Play objective modes “ and “playing the objective”
Are two different things
@@MrFizzery I know, it was just funny
That’s how you farm kills nerd. That’s the smart way to play choke point modes. You wanna get high averages, just play as a rusher in obj modes. It’s actually surprising how little anyone does to try and stop it. All you gotta do is run around the edges of the map and make flanks while the other guys just sit on obj. Notice how he broke 100 kills doing so, and I average around 60 doing so, while the guys in my matches seem to be capped at 30 kills. Blame it on the broken ass SBMM. Don’t hate the player hate the game.
@@reekyfartinyou’re the nerd kid I play hard pint to play hard point not to play tdm in a hard pint game ur the reason I leave after having 200 seconds captured and team has 0
I'm more annoyed about people not popping up on the minimap when shooting unsuppressed weapons. Like they'll make it so I can hear people through walls, and pre aim for an instant headshot. But they won't put enemies on the map? I literally never use the map now unless there's a UAV.
extremely common twitch L for banning old man
Not only kill streaks take forever to call in, I’ve died so many times activating dead silence because of the stupid sound telling them where I am, the animation taking so long I’m left hip firing, and the TTK being low. I enjoy the low TTK a lot, but animations are ridiculously slow. Bring back bo2 days, I loved that game to bits
“Every single day since it released … for 8 hours”
Honestly that’s what a Eugene would say..
Ive been playing for 12 hours straight since 3 days after it came out
On my unemployed shit
@Mal Theri for real
I got to say as a casual who got back in via the beta, I swear the sbmm got worse.
SBMM doesn't help casual players AT ALL, it makes every game feel like a competitive game. I really question where this idea of "sbmm is for casuals" came from
Only reason I keep playing is because I know I'll have a shitter lobby the very next game, it's too predictable and tiring of a matching system, horrible.
So you're gonna waste 10+ minutes to play and actually enjoy the game you payed for for 10+ mins? That's dumb asf lmfao I swear anyone who plays this shit either has half their brain missing or Stockholm syndrome
@@militantautist9811 when you spend $70-$100 on a game you kinda gotta get everything you can out of it, that and like
its fun when the matchmaking isn't shitting all over you in 6v6
ground war is fun
co-op too
3rd person also for some reason doesnt have the most aggressive sbmm either
@@novaamare it's not like you didn't see this shit coming though, right? I'd bet money next cod you'll buy it all over again completely deincentivising these assholes from fixing these shitass games. Quit buying this shit year after year and you'll be 60+ bucks richer and not have to deal with stupid bullshit
If you're a casual, that means most people are better than you. In random matchmaking, you'd be placed with those players the majority of the time.
@@colinmcmasters5819 im not dogshit at shooters its really just different mindsets on playing s cod, i come home from work, plop my ass down, and play. Most of the time i do have fun, but it's usually in 3rd person and ground war at the moment, 6v6 is desd to me atm

Looks like a private match. My lobbies never look like this lol
Fantastic honest, and absolutely on point review. Definitely get a sub and thumbs up.
Reasons for state of COD: 1) Corp Greed. 2) Box Ticking/Diversity hiring. They got women who hear the word COD and think of fish n chips, making maps, instead of bringing Coffee and Sandwiches to the James Halliday's of the world..
I PREDICTED so many years ago, when I saw this trend start to transpire, that hiring based on ANYYYYYYYYYYYYYTHING other than 'the best PERSON for the job' (with NO exceptions) would utterly devastate the quality of, basically EVERYTHING.
This is so entirely on point. Plenty of super talented Women out there but I fully see what you're saying. This has happened with so many good book/film/TV franchises. Can you say Star Wars... LOTR?? Etc.
@@stevetodd5383 Yes I am using heavy handed words just to make a hard hitting, valid point. And it IS entirely valid, and a frightening reality in todays twisted world.
We not gon slide past his teammate getting a quad with a Betty at the end
One of my issues with this game is the map rotation, seems like I constantly play on the same 4 or 5
bro thats over half the maps in the game.. I don't like it either but that is our reality
I’m with you on calling in uav/cuav. I legit have to hide to have any chance of surviving while calling them in
The red dots have always been there to help bad or new players learn better awareness. For example, it teaches them routes, flanks, power positions, spawns, etc. It is literally there to help you learn the basics of being good at COD awareness wise. Then you've got private lobbies W/Bots to work on your Centering, Movement, and gun skills while encompassing what you learn from the Mini-Map.
Not for Pubstompers.
Yes, if you get good enough you could technically "Pubstomp" the lobby but not every game.
Even the ones doing it back then making it seem like you could. Would use friends or accounts that had horrible stats in order to get into the protected lobbies.
Wish I could get lobbies like this
Probably his best games out of 100 hours
To do this you need to have 2 separate copies of the game. One account is a reverse boosted account, while the 2nd is your actul account. All you do is start a kobby with your boosted account, then session join using your main
@@MrPanggs That is a $140 solution to something that shouldn’t be a big problem anymore. I barely wanted to pay for one copy much less 2. Id rather suffer and not hand more money for a subpar product to potentially fix an issue
@@MrPanggs Imagine being that much of a degenerate that you NEED to play people worse than you to have fun. This isn't a comment directed at you, just the idea.
The first 2 games were like this. Then everything else was just filled with camping snipers and me getting spawn killed.
You're wrong about the footstep sound, they're trying to copy Escape From Tarkov and that's the reason for loud footsteps
i’ve been watching you for 7 years now, crazy how time flies
Holy shit this is a blast from the past. In high school I used to watch this dude all the time, completely forgot ab him. Crazy
Kill feed at 0:57 “Lisa Ann kicked for inactivity” wow bird you’re really reverse boosting.
He's admitted to it in the past, and honestly I don't blame him
How is someone being afk considered reverse boosting or am I missing something
So what? SBMM punishes you for playing well and this is the only way to not sweat every match
@@MrPanggs he is sweating though ?
@@zeus-jw1vk Lisa Ann has been birdmans alt account for years
I did notice the cuav and uav back to back feels like waiting forever 😂. Also I really hope they sort the license for those maps I can't believe they didn't sort that out. Great points
I noticed in someone's vid who was playing spec ops, there was the dome map from MW3 as a part of a bigger map. That was my favourite map, and if that comes damn that'd be sick, idk why no one's talking about it
They are planning a paid dlc down the road so we might just get all those maps but ya gotta pay
@@carlito19934 yeah I heard, if it's more than £20 I got an issue but if it's under then alright depends how many maps they put in
All maps will be free
@@pinheadlarry7335 it’s probably about 70$, I’ve heard the leak where they are gonna charge more then usual because they gotta make up for not creating a new game next year.
It shouldn’t be paid when there’s so many people buying skins and BP’s worth 10$+ a pop. It’s insanely bad and laughable but I digress.
You think I care?
I don't even Like vode games.
If they wanted people to use different guns with the new unlock system they could've just gave weapon specific double xp days, or days where progress towards camos is doubled
I can’t play cod for a long time because of how long it takes to load in/out and the time in between games. It’s literally faster for me to just switch games entirely than wait to find a lobby, make sure it’s a decent map, and load in.
It takes me like a good 5-10 minutes to find a lobby. You having the issue to? Internet is good and all updates are installed. Idk what’s up
Might be a location issue
@@jurgullypurf What do you mean by that?
@@ffukdemdragons415 You might be live far from activision's servers or live in an area where server population is low
@@jurgullypurf interesting. Okay thanks for letting me know. I live a in pretty populated area so it might be the latter. Thanks
I only play dom, TDM, and hardpoint the chaos is crazy. Everything exploding around you. Can barley see with all the bullets, blood, kill streak explosions and the constant shaking of the screen. It’s the true COD experience.
I have been enjoying the game a lot actually,yeah the loadout and perk system are terrible ,but the gameplay is smooth and very nice.The only major things they need to make it a top5 cod would be a few maps ,patching the release bugs , a few quality of life changes and there you have it all easy things to fix which gives me a little hope.
@DJ airsoft and gaming well same goes for most people you just learn to deal with it am i i right?
@DJ airsoft and gaming ironic
@DJ airsoft and gaming oh btw i just watched a video saying that sledgehammer games will make a 70$ dlc expansion next year for this game with a lot of content,kinda sucks itll be behind a pay wall.
i remember watching birdman as a kid when bo2 smackin sweaties was his thing. man. i missed you hittin 1 milli but congrats man. i'm glad you still make content cause i'm gonna be tuned in. gonna go back and watch smackin sweaties lol. they were awesome videos. and i agree with everything you said.. mw2 is an unfinished game.
I would just love a 9v9 mode with 130 health the TTK is really fast
"you cant wait 9 months to add really good maps into your game, by then no one gives a fuck about your game anymore". If only the team at 343 heard this warning sooner. XD
They should have you play each cod for 100 hours before they drop so they can fix their games
bro what kind of a lobby was that, not once in my entire play through of this game have i seen opponents as shit as the ones in this video. absolutely nuts man
Reverse boozt
Tuning has potential. You can take something with useless positives, turn those positives into negatives, and bump up some of the negatives into positives, effectively turning a trash attachment into something good. The problem is how much do they affect the weapon. The amount of testing is too much for more to care right now. If an attachment reduces ADS speed, you can tune it to increase ADS speed. So its not black and white as initially thought.
Ps. How you get matched with such bad players. Every game i play is sweat lord mlg, camp masters, guys covering every line of sight and abusing every mechanic they can to win. Its exhausting.
I used to watch all your videos back in 2016 but then I stopped and completely forgot about your channel. I’m surprised you’re still making content and I enjoyed this video and subscribed on this account ❤
To me the core gameplay and the maps is actually good, but it's all the weirdness on top that brings it down. If they can just fix the UI and not showing stats for attachments, add the missing features, and actually maintain proper live service this game will be amazing. I'm not one to like things that benefit casuals at the expense of the overall experience, but I can live with the current minimap and dead silence situation if the game was actually complete.
The things that bother me the most are the spawns rotating all around the map so you can’t think tactically and can get hit from behind when it makes no sense, and the maps themselves are not that good
@@HieronymousLex yeah I get shot in the back all the time
I took out my PS3 and played some Black Ops 1 and it is sad how these modern games can't compete with the replayability and content the older games came out with back in the day.
exactly man, ive been playing only world at war for the past full year..
Pretty sure there's a cat in their office that just sleeps on the keyboard and the only keys that work is ctrl + V an when they come in an see it they don't know who's coming up with the genius ideas, but they keep it.
They changed the beep when activating dead silence. It doesn't make that beep any more.
Twitch staff simps quick as hell when someone comes at their egirls
Activision catfished everybody with the lack of content and none of you even know it. They gave you the same guns with 5 different mags and said here’s your 51 guns. But in reality they really only dropped 19-23 guns, bc in old cods those same variants or “changing of receivers” would be under the same gun. Ex) In Mw19 you can use the Ak and make it the Rpk, ak74u, etc. Changing the Spr from a marksman rifle to a sniper just by changing the stock and barrel. Another would be changing the m4 to a m16 by putting on 3rd burst or a Ftac by putting on socom rounds. Crazyy how nobody realizes this.
Man it feels Cod has had the same issues for a long time
Old man can you make a video about halo infinites new update?
for me the biggest issues i have with mw2, is issues to do with making the game more ratty, so no mini map pings from shooting, lack of movement, like it feels too stiff and too punishing, like sliding is damn near useless, the ttk also is a little too quick, dont get me wrong i like fast ttk but its too fast in this game, especially if someone catches you offgaurd and their just hardscoping a corner.
This match was an example of what my first match looked like. After that, constantly playing with level 55+ tryhards. He shoots a guy and then the second guy. In tryhard lobbies you get 2 shots out and you're allready dead.
The fact u played 100 hours is enough of a review for me lol
Salute to Birdman for playing this game for 100 hours you gotta be a warrior for having to go through all the safe spaces and sbmm for that long, also FREE BIRDMAN TWITCH GOT A MASSIVE L FOR THIS ONE 🤦🏻♂️
That was my concern, is sbmm still that bad?
He plays using a vpn, there’s a reason 100 kill games are so easy 💀
@@rubenthekid all it takes is 1 good game and you'll get pub stomped like 3 gamed in a row shortly after.
@@rubenthekid idek man i haven’t played a cod since mw2019 and the sbmm in that game was crazy. I knew it was going to get worse when i tried out the cold war beta and i couldn’t even last 2 games with the sbmm
@@honeybadgerwitcher I Believe the CW beta didn’t even have Sbmm turned on until the game came out
Man, a year later im watching these MW2 birdman vids and seeing how good this game was when it came out, sad I wasted all of it on shipment 24/7
Birdman, I remember when I was a casual long ago, I NEVER looked at the minimap. I was trash and just felt like the minimap was too complicated. It was only when I started to actually get good that I even looked at it, much less utilized it. I think that's the train of thought the developers have with removing enemies off of it, trash players aren't looking at all, don't let the good ones have extra advantage.
Exactly
Makes sense
Glad you mentioned scavenger pack. I thought i was trippin when i wasn’t getting any scav packs after getting kills
I said this but I’ll still To explain ttk, the ttk is actually slower then ghosts and the classic mw3 believe it or not. Well statistically speaking it is. You can get the exact stats but to the reason why it feels faster is because unlike previous titles the hit detection in this game is leagues ahead. Adding health or decreasing head shot multiplier would be the only way to make it slower. Honestly I think they need to do both, like add 25 health and slightly decrease head shot multiplier, like if it’s 1.5 go to 1.3
Very good summary. I agree the biggest thing holding this game back is the map pool. Not only is the map pool very small, all the maps are the same size.
Is reverse boosting a thing in this game? Cuz I never get games like this where the people look at you and don't even shoot. Im getting cross mapped by a handgun.
I fell you
Yeah it is
I was just thinking the same. These enemies are brain dead!!!
He’s using a vpn so yes lmao
yea it is and yes he does it, he admits it in Cold War. If you noticed that a green player on the minimap was there but after a minute it got kicked for inactivity. Nothing against it either, its for the entertainment value for the 100+ kill games.
6:20 IW read art of the deal with that “big ask” on footstep audio lol
And I thought the camping in Vanguard was bad this is on a whole new level of camping
The doors and camping are worse than vanguard
ak74u is and AR, because it is an AR. And yea the tun recoil is super low in this game and first thing i said when i first played is in the beta is “damn the visual recoil is crazy i cannot see shit.”
also abt scavenger i think they need to be using same gun class as you
Bird man loves his boosted lobbies lmao
Imma say it like this as a guy who's a filthy casual because he wants to play every game he can possibly get his hands on, it's good to hop on the game and not get fucking farmed by guys who play this game for hours on end and have more time on their hands. Even if cod was my main game I could never play it for 8 hours straight.
aim assist is beyond broken in this game. sometimes it's like having literal aimbot and other times it's non existent. it's crazy how "good" some players think they are when they snap onto me from 30m away with an iron sights AR and basically trace me as I strafe. never played a shooter on console where someone has consistently been able to aim like that.
I played bo3 yesterday and aa did not feel as strong at all. Major difference
@@Lazyfoal fr, this game does most of the aiming for you.
true they need to tone that shit way down.

I have been playing call of duty since #1 came out.. but there is no way I will be paying now $70 for a 50% complete call of duty. love you Search & Destroy fam and it's been years of amazing 40 oz's and 1 v Whatever clutches but I think its time we stop this madness. Also Birdman, thanks for all the hours u put in as a CoD pro.
Just wait till season one drops and then I would say dropping the 70$ is fair. Don’t forget this game is on a 2 year cycle, next year there ain’t no cod coming out.
@@Longshlong99 If they added combat record, removed sbmm and added a league play, added red dot mini map when shooting, brought back lobbies and map voting, reduced ttk, removed these trash maps and made good ones, maybe I'd actually buy it because those are all basic things from the best cods.
@@Trahzy Map voting would be so great to have in again.
Literally any feature y’all can think of that THEY took out would be great. But don’t forget we’re paying EXTRA now for all these missing features. I don’t buy a $15 happy meal for just the fucking burger.
@@roadkillreborn3047 Well people that know better should stop buying the games until they make things the way they should be again. I haven't bought cod since I returned mw19 a week after it released, that's where they started removing a ton of things nobody asked for and really pushing the "gold star for participation" yet people praise it because it has good graphics.
If they take the SA-B 50 w/ iron sights out of the game I will be the happiest man in the world.
Overall great video, but theres a few things id like to point out that are wrong or I disagree with:
The TTK is fast yes, but if we compare it to old cods that had stopping power as a perk, its actually a bit slower. MW games TTK have always been fast, even if it comes at the expense of competitiveness. At the end of the day its a casual arcade shooter first, and competitive sport shooter second.
The minimap functions as a classic COD radar if your team has a UAV active. As long as your team has a UAV up enemy teams gunshots will show on the map, but only if they dont have a silencer. This change seems to be made to make UAVs more important, but right now they seem like a huge advantage that sways games. So the suppressor is what seems to be bugged.
The gunsmith system is not terrible or confusing, although I do agree that we need to be able to see exact % values on each attachment, and that a lot of attachments are useless. but modding a gun is as easy as: use it, find the guns pros and cons, use attachments to mitigate the cons. Any time I do that the gun ends up significantly better than the base form. So I dont understand how you could find this system confusing or bad besides the lack of exact numbers.
Also you definitely reverse boosted for this gameplay lmao.
lol the red dots help good players make movement decisions. If you’re running to an area and you see your partner die in a 1v1 on the map, you can make a decision to advance or retreat easier if you can determine the source of the death. we’re they sniped off or shotgunned in the chest. now, you literally have to guess that your teammate died to a rushing player or a bouncing betty. (technically not cuz of the feed, but you get my point on the variation of deaths)
there’s no way i’ve been watching your channel for almost 10 years now.. i first started watching back on bo2 times your league play road to master lol, you got me into league 🙂
My SBMM is so brutal it makes me want to quit most times. One game it’s sweats holding angles and camping, the next I’m hitting quad feeds with my sniper
i’ve learned on the ps5 to not get the installing screen is to restart the game and once you load scroll to the very end of like the daily news shit that always pops up and you shouldn’t get it
In MW 2019 I’d reliably drop chopper gunners and AC 130s, at least once per game. I was top 2% worldwide. Now I struggle to get care packagers. SBMM is insane. I’ll probably return it.
They got $800,000,000 in the first like 3 days bruh how tf they can't pay for the rights to a map
No hardcore?
Wait, you are telling me I’ve been playing core all this time?
Theater mode. create your own emblems and camo. Customize character clothes, accessories ect.. No disbanding lobbies. No party chat in S&D, Stats and fav clips, weapon, shown when highlighted on player in lobby, point system for kills and objective plays. Connection based matchmaking, Sbmm as well as ranked playlist all options, remove lag compensation, default no cross play, option for cross play with just consoles to remove the possibilities of 3rd party software (hacks) that PC will always have, leaderboards, a reward system for completing tasks only instead of time played. Money system like BO1 and add wager matches as well. Any micro transaction should only be cosmetic. Anything I'm forgetting?
i promise the loud footsteps is to punish moving alot. i play a game called intruder and the game includes very loud footsteps which forces you to play with stealth and attention
you HAVE to use decoy grenades in SnD. its the ONLY way to hide your footsteps during crucial moments.
I’ve never had that ps5 bug happen to me. Just some freezes when grouped up with friends and a couple crashes
Can we just return to the Ghosts perk and attachement systems?
With the suppressor making you essentially invisible in the minimap it renders all other muzzle attachments useless. With the suppressors only working under UAV conditions it allows players to experiment and use muzzles that grand them better control, etc.
And many users have tested the suppressors and ghost perk. They work just fine. Under UAV conditions or not. Just look it up.
The AKS-74U is correctly categorized as an assault rifle. A common misconception is that it is an smg but that is inaccurate as it is chambered in 5.45x39mm which is an intermediate rifle cartridge.
Hit the nail on the head with this review
I can understand the frustration. However, being someone who is nowhere near the caliber I was back in the World at War days, this game has brought me back. Last COD I purchased was black OPs 2 or 3. Once you learn to slow down and be more methodical/surgical you win. I just ads before i turn a corner. 9/10 I get the jump on the guy tac sprinting. I tack sprint to mount on a corner to get angles and to move to cover. Patience my young lads.
Loved world at war would love a remaster of that game ..I played that game to death I was called Spearofdestiny
Every point you made is spot on. Especially the calling in UAVs/Counters. That shit gets me killed every time
The point behind the weapon system is to branch weapons systems together. The attachments are annoying, but the guns then selves are all in the same family.
Bird man dude. You do realise that you have a UA-cam channel with a large audience influencing so many people on your own opinions.
