Exactly. The first time I was playing through the level, I was too hyped up from the previous mission to pay attention, but on the second play through, I played attention, and I was like holy shit
There’s no way I would be distracted by anything during No Russian. The sheer awe of what I was doing was just... No way to take me away from it. Not even taking my headphones off, still fully immersed.
@@TheActMan *act man please play call of duty finest hour, it's the best ww2 one out i promise! please do a review on it too, i cant express in words how fun it is - it's replayable and genuinely good of you get past dated graphics*
I remember in black ops 2 when you have to chance to kill the “hooded menendez” I shot him right in the head out of pure anger and hatred for the character only to find out the it was mason under the hood which led my heart to sink. “What have I done”
I was sure it was Mason and I tried killing the two guys holding him but it said that my actions compromised the mission or whatever, so I thought there was no other way than killing Mason...
When I first played that mission, I was about to shoot him, but then I realized, wait, how come he's alive in the future if I killed him in the past. I got the good ending on my first playthrough.
And the sniper battle is so intense. I always jump out of my skin when the German sniper fires at the start, to when you’re looking for him, to the moment when you kill him.
@@paljitsingh354 True after you kill the general, the game doesn't let you to celebrate. The tank fires straight at you that's so cool. It shows there is no time to celebrate in battlefield
Aye. Have you all tried to take the sniper out with a pistol? I know it wasn't an achievement but I did. It took me a few hours of dying and respawning.

Fun little fact about All Ghillied Up, it’s so slow paced and tense that it’s possible to use only your primary sniper without reloading, so long as you’re not detected. And you get a nice achievement for not reloading if you pull this off :)
I bought world at war first for my first call of duty, it was badass, and when I got the chance to play cod4 all ghillied up mission, I felt like I was there, tense and scary, also don't forget when the enemy BTR and tank comes right by you
16:23 Actual marines reviewed no russian and said that they would be firing with the LMG's lying down because of their weight so it's a miracle the characters are even walking so it's no wonder why it's slow. Plus this adds more tension.
@@TheActMan also walking makes the player think about what they're doing. If they're just running and gunning, it feels like every other mission, but to have to walk slowly over the bodies of innocent people you just slaughtered, it makes the player contemplate if what they're doing is even right, and being killed at the end of the mission hit different at least for me, realising that all the killing I had just contributed to did nothing to help the situation at hand.
You should only be firing the M240B with the bipod down. It would be nearly impossible to should and fire the weapon with a belt it as it weighs around 25 pounds.
Do we need another great video game turned mediocre movie adaptation? Also, Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie is the BEST movie adaptation of a great video game.
@I am a mag main never played halo myself, but i love OST's and my god halo is a masterpiece. Go listen to halo 3 extended theme, it's out of this world. And if you're a lover of such music (ost) check out Titanfall 2's theme song as well.
Finished the game twice with killing Mason until I saw it on a UA-cam video titled "How to save Alex Mason in Black Ops 2" And I watched the video and immediately headed back in this time Alex Mason is still alive
That moment in the WaW mission Heart of the Reich where you charge towards the Reichstag is my favorite memory on WaW. That campaign changes you on Veteran.
I always loved the way Reznov talked about Dragovich, Krevchenko, and Steiner with such venom in his voice. Even when he says, "These... men, must die," he says it with such malice as if the very idea of calling them men is anathema. Truly stellar direction and acting by Treyarch and Gary Oldman.
See see SEE! This is fine, I fucking hate it when people just say a quote and get thousands of likes without putting any effort just say a fucking quote, not like oh heres a quote and heres my joke or sentence after it, it pisses me off when they do that without putting anything after it you know? But at least you put your own words after
@@cynicalspektre5353 "To know you're close to the end is a kind of freedom. Good time to take...inventory. .." I had that quote Written down on paper once, i can just about resite it by heart, i was just so moved by it... not really sure why.
A Call of duty game is so important with a campaign because it makes the game have a setting, a theme, a meaning, a place and time where and when the game takes place that truly defines what the game is gonna be about. Making the game way more interesting and just way more fascinating to play with a campaign!
I love how both games had those intro scenes. I just hope Warner Bros and/or Disney make sure of a war story-driven animated shows with intros like those.
I remember taking Amsel out with the Walther when I was like 8🤣🤣🤣I wanted that trophy so bad and it took me a good couple hours. That’s my favourite cod besides cod 4. So many memories with those. I would live a remaster
There are some lines from Cod campaigns I'll never forget. "Skewer the Winged beast!" "Remember, no Russian" But by far the best one I have ever heard was from BO2 "NO!"
“We are the strongest military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here matters over there. We don’t get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We can’t give you freedom, but we can give you the know-how to acquire it. And that my friends is worth more than a whole army base of steel. Sure it matters who’s got the biggest stick, but it matters a heck of a lot more who’s swinging it. This is a time for hero’s. A time for legends. History is written by the victors. Let’s get to work.
@@anthonyguiness9 yeah, problem is, for non-native spanish and portuges speakers, its kinda hard to tell the difference (even me, who my language is based on Spanish, aka Filipino)
“What makes a great Call of Duty campaign?” 1:25 Yes. Having the main antagonist appear in a end credit scene where he’s not only good and alive, but he fucking plays along A7X where everyone is just jamming out together.
Honestly I think if anyone could pull off a BO1 movie, it would be Christopher Nolan. Something about his ability to present “mind-fuck” themes in certain movies, with a good cast as well, makes me think he could do a good job as showing Alex’s struggle with the numbers and mixing up events and shit
@キイキイ i dont remember Loose Ends being that hard on veteran, but it took me a few tries to get to the end of the mission becuase of trying to outrun the rocket launchers and the cluster fucks.
@キイキイ But the worst part of Loose Ends, is after you beat the mission, all you get is Roach and Ghost getting shot by Shepherd, which makes beating Loose Ends feel very less satisfying, for me at least.
My only big problem with MW 2019’s campaign is that there’s no missions where you play as just a soldier. You’re always playing a these tier 1 operators. I liked CoD 4 because instead of the story jumping between individuals it was instead jumping between factions. As the SAS you were this tier 1 operator going on secret missions, but as the Marines you were just any other grunt fighting a war. In MW 2019 there’s only two missions where I feel like a grunt. Hunting Party-my favorite-and the one where you take the airbase from the Russians alongside Farah and her militia. I just feel like the story would’ve been so much better if Gaz was the one doing all the covert missions while the war fighting was done as a soldier. I also wish that instead of playing as Alex in the first mission we should’ve played as a Raider and died alongside the others.
@@NoName-hy6xj I actually really like TF141. It adds a lot to the charm of the universe. An international, top tier military group made up of the best handpicked warriors on the planet is really cool in my opinion and strikes a good balance between being both believable and being a little far-fetched. MW2 and MW3 was definitely way too action movie-ish, but I feel like the next MW can really bring some realism to the group.
Yeah being just a guy would be sick. It's like in battlefield 3 where you alone try to fight off hundreds of enemies with a machine gun on a tank, but get captured and recorded and executed. It's seems to be inspired by cod 4 but also connects to real events and shows the cruelty of your enemy
Listening to your section about Blops 1 in Vorkuta, it made me realize that Reznov became just as villainous as the ones he was trying to kill. He literally sacrificed the entire POW camp of Vorkuta just to get one man out. You. Thousands of men, dead, just to get his re-programmed puppet back into the world so he can continue this revenge plan in his stead. He talks about brotherhood, but was it REALLY there? Did he really care about Mason? Did he really care about the other Russian soldiers in the prison camp? I believe they were simply tools to him, all there to help him forward his plan for revenge.
Reznov was never a hero in WaW, Chernov was. Reznov relishes in the slaughter of Germans. You have times in the story where it gives you the option to brutally execute POW’s such as herding them down some steps to a closed off railway then throwing a Molotov at them. Resnov encourages this behaviour the entire game while Chernov discourages it. The game has 3 different endings depending on your actions. You can be seen by Chernov as a true hero, a conflicted light or utter disdain that you’re like Reznov. Nikolai in zombies and Chernov have the same model too.
To be fair, it's a gulag. They would all have died anyway, and I'm pretty sure getting shot is better than beaten to death and eaten by your own comrades
The Emp going off in mw2 is by far my favorite action sequence even though it’s pretty short. The soundtrack that played during that part made by Hans Zimmer was phenomenal and they easily could have made it a cut scene but infinity ward said “nah you better start running bud!”
@@hasanwaheed6770 no, it was a nuke going off in the atmosphere. The initial explosion was too far away to outright kill anybody, but the blast and radiation had an emp effect. Just like coronal mass ejections from the sun can have a similar effect on earth. I'm sure everybody got a healthy dose of radiation that day, but not enough to outright kill people on the ground
"Sniping your enemy is like hunting any other animal. Fire at the wrong moment and your chance will be forever lost. Patience, if we reveal our position to Amsel's men, this fountain will be our grave."
@@ltnshouldplayhalomore2034 I saw that song live. Not saying you doing this (btw I do know the Origins reference) but so many people think that the A7X songs were written by people at Treyarch lmao
COD moments we'll never forget: -Taking the Reichstag -Climbing up Pointe du Hoc -Destroying Rommel's Tanks -Fighting with the French Resistance -Dethroning Al-Asad -Crawling wthrough Chernobyl -Using an AC-130 -Sniping Nazis in Stalingrad with Reznov -Pushing through Pacific islands -Infiltrating a Russian base through the arctic storm -No Russian -Fending off the invasion of D.C. -Knifing General Shepard -Assassinating Castro's double -Meeting President Kennedy -Jungle Ops in Vietnam -Breaking out of Vorkuta -Remembering the numbers just in time to stop WW3 -ZOMBIES (This is when I stopped playing, but I know there are many more COD moments we'll never forget).
Feel like call of duty shouldn’t be a yearly franchise. One should come out every two years or so so they can have time to polish and make the game good.
the sad thing about video games now is that people want more faster rather then letting the devloper take its time and give a good polished game thats why halo 1 2 3 odst and reach were so god damn good, these games took 3 plus years each even more to make. And honestly i wont be suprised if campigns are gone in the next 10 years
You’re missing out, CoD 1 and 2 are some bloody great campaigns. I understand they may not be super relevant today, but they are worth a play through or 2
@@davidbanan. I think you're right. It looks I watched this last year I saw the bit at 1:00 "besides these" and didn't realize he was referring to video reviews, not playthroughs. My bad.
CoD 1 and 2 have some of the greatest campaigns ever. There is much tension in these and the fighting mechanics are great. And most of all, it's boots-on-the-ground, no-soldier-fights-alone!
A lot of flawed/terrible games have godforsakenly AWESOME soundtracks. Try Assassin Creed III's Main Theme/Main Theme Variation (which can fit in CoD due to Lorne Balfe composing it).
@WTF S4NS People should stop using "gay" in a negative context that don't make sense. I mean, I'm straight, but four of my fave Cartoon Network characters are actually lesbians/bisexuals (in other words, they're Adventure Time's Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum and Marceline Abadeer AND Steven Universe's Ruby and Sapphire). Even some real world wartime gamechangers like Alan Turing (the man responsible for breaking the Nazi encryption code called "Enigma") and Alexander the Great (yes, as in the young Macedonian genius who toppled the Persian Empire and led an important expedition to India) are actually gay men who done revolutionary things in war and its peacetime legacies.
I feel like Modern Warfare's campaign was made to be played on realism, I want more missions that are focused on high tension slow gameplay where you need to have quick reaction time.
I played almost the whole game on Realism but I had to tone it down for the last mission as I actually spent so fucking long trying to get up the hill at the start and getting absolutely destroyed.
World at War is my favorite. The game is so dark and depicts WW2 much more realistically compared to any other game based on the war. Plus Reznov and Dimitri are awesome. But I’ll never forgive World at War after making it through Downfall on Veteran difficulty. It took me 3 hours to make it past the second checkpoint.
My biggest challenge was at the final battle on the roof of the Reichstag. All those interlapping machine guns, Panzershrecks, and grenades were just so f*cking crazy to beat. And I was on Recruit difficulty during that!
@Roniixx ok campaign? Full on "Murica is the best" type of campaign Its a disgrace from the WW2 legacy WaW gave to us. WaW has a campaign that doesn't pick sides, I could've wished they let you play at least for a mission what it would be like to be a german soldier.
Fun fact! In MW remastered, you can kill Makarov in One Shot One Kill. Wait until the wind dies down. You’ll know when because MacMillan will tell you that it’s your last chance. Shoot Zakaev, then turn to Makarov and kill him. You’ll get an achievement called “Time Paradox”. You can also shoot Yuri, but it will say that friendly fire will not be tolerated
I like the way Treyarch make COD games around real life events WaW: ww2 Bo1: cold war Bo2: cold war against china (kinda scary that there is tension between USA and china in 2020).
Only problem is in my opinion; starting from BO3 but especially in BO4 treyarchs games have been a complete mess. Unfortunately playing BO4 and the disaster it was/became really turns me off from whatever comes out this year
The cold war has been fought since the early 50's and still continuous through proxy wars and blacked out operations/CIA if you were to point out any war related incident and follow the money you could pinpoint the perpetrators. That's why bitcoin has skyrocketed cause of the untraceable footprint
Making a PSA for all viewers: if you want more of what “Clean House” was, get SWAT 4. The entire game is slowly breaching and clearing room after room, but it’s even more tactical
"It might be hard for the youngins out there to imagine this but, I remember when Call of Duty campaigns were something that most people who bought the game actually played."
I've been playing COD since 2003 and every year the thing I look forward to the most is playing the campaign. It's the first thing I do when I buy a new COD game. Playing it first perfectly sets up the multiplayer in my opinion.
The fact that me being slow enough to catch up to DeFalco as he flees Colossus or me failing to avoid the fire hitting Harper's face has consequences on how the story and interaction between the characters play out has me believe that Black Ops 2 is the peak CoD campaign.
15:00 I'm so glad he brought up the Japanese side of the campaign in WAW and how they just fight different than any other enemies in any other COD, for some reason this is still the only meaningful depiction we have of Japanese infantry as opposed to aerial forces in all of video games, so it makes it even more memorable.
For real. Snipers in the trees, simple booby traps, banzai charges from outta nowhere, popping out of holes in the ground and shooting. They utilized the environment. That shit was dope.
the snail phase in MW2 "no russian", i understand some people can see it has unecesary, and i can respect that and actualy agree at some point. but i actually enjoyed it a lot, the first time playing that mission, i was so in shock of wat was going on, the music kept me on edge, slowly walking trough the pile of dead bodys and watching civilians help each other while some bleed out, screams all over the place with gun shoots, or eveen having the shoot the cops, and my fav detail all of the planes get "delayed" on the billboard, it was a impactful moment that the snail phase made me apriciate even more by slowly taking a look at everything.
What I like most about the classic Call Of Duty games (going up to BO2) was that the cutscenes were never ass-numbingly long. They usually only consisted of a recap of the plot so far, or a mission debriefing. The rest of the story would be told through the gameplay which was honestly all we needed. The idea for longer cutscenes I believe started in BO2 and really doubled down by BO3.
Man that BO2 soundtrack is just truly magical! I remember back in the day when I was gonna start a new mission in the campaign and i'd just end up listening to that song for like 5 min each time just thinking about things, deep thoughts.
I remember playing BO2 as a kid and the main theme stuck with me for a really long time. There's just something so moody, it just fit the story and game so well.
Something I noticed is that the campaigns with a multi game story building up the story like mw and waw to b02 instead of the more one off games seemed better and made you more attached to the characters
Remember the feeling of making it to the top of the Reichstag with the Soviet flag? What a buzz, especially if you’d just been through the gruelling veteran campaign. One of my proudest platinum trophies.
@@JangofettAlex the less the better you’re only meant to experience it once also damn it’s satisfying even if Reznov and Dmitri lose at the end Edit: my bad mistook it for downfall
"Your life will be consumed by absolute loss. Then and only then will you understand what you have done to me." "I will not kill you boy. Now like Woods, you suffer with me. And then one day, you will see this pendant again, and you remember everything you saw and felt tonight. You will remember all the years of anger and pain. And when you do David... please, come to me."
Act Man is right about the soundtrack. To this day I still listen to the Juggernaut walk in Dust to Dust, Cordia Die theme, the F/A-38 flight pieces , Numbers, so many great pieces of music that really added to the game
I’ve had tons of memorable moments throughout COD campaigns but the nightclub in BO2 actually succeeded in truly hyping me up. Skrillex in the background of the slow motion shooting really put me in some indescribable state of mind.
Funny thing I managed to shoot falcone pretty sure that's his name but he was straight up God moding it and also you could just take the XPR-50 sniper and while falcone is on the second floor headed to the plane I shot him and he died and the mission was over
I always liked the setting of Infinite Warfare from a Science Fiction stand-point. Like, usually with sci-fi you either have a trans-solar human authority with somewhat reliable FTL travel, or you have super-cyber tech Earth. In Infinite Warfare, you have FTL travel, but the ships literally cannot handle it for more than a few seconds without being torn to shreds, and its implied that there are societies and ideologies that separate them from Earth, but the main population is still on Earth because Terraforming takes a long time and making habitable areas on inhospitable planets takes time, resources, and is pretty inefficient. IDK, there probably is a lot I could see done with the setting to flesh it out more.
I love the infinite warfare campaign and that open ending it gave us. It’s too bad it was received so badly or we may have gotten a sequel at some point.
IWs biggest problem was that it had the Call of Duty in front of it. Had it been a standalone franchise, it would have been up there with Halo, Mass Effect or Titanfall.
I really enjoyed everything infinite warfare tried to do, and since at that point in time I was a major sci fi nerd wishing for star citizen/squadron 42
The music of Call of duty IW is really awsome. Even the campaign is smooth af like the cutscene and character development for ethan was good. Speacially in the scene in Operation Burn Water when nick and ethan are left behind, we feel emotionally attached with both of them..
Black ops 4 campaign was my favorite. It was heart breaking, intense and it truly shows horrors of wars while still giving hope of a better future. Oh wait.
Hey ActMan, have you ever gave a thought of reviewing the older CoDs (I'm thinking about 1 and 2 and their expansions)? In my opinion, it would really be interesting to see how the franchise started and what were its roots.
Man, it makes me sad to know that characters like Dimitri, Reznov, Woods, Mason,Menendez, and more, existed in a world where Taylor aka train go boom exists.
Honest to god, I wanted them to make a spec ops mission similar to Clean House, The Wolf's Den and Going Dark. Imagine a dynamic mission where you have to breach a house or building with a squad, an have to clear it of hostiles, decide who's friendly and who's an unknown, who to shoot or not to shoot. Imagine that mission changing each time you play it, hostiles coming out of one room where civilians were hiding before, that would be epic. Those three missions were in my honest opinion the most badass and I craved more of that in Modern Warfare.
I found at least a semi similar experiance to that by playing in the LTM realism on hardcore in multiplayer. Night battles using only ir lasers and nvgs to see while no enemies have nameplates made for some of the most fun and stressful gameplay in that game
COD 2 has my favourite campaign. Just the loading screen with the diary of the soldier you played is the feature I wish COD kept. The edited image of a renactor in gear who grows a beard or gets dirtier when selecting missions in one of the 3 campaigns it's honestly my favourite. From those you covered in your video I would have to say WAW,BO1,BO2, All of the MWs except the reboot, BO3, AW, WW2,Ghosts
Yeaah, I miss the loading screen with the load cartridges on the side of the soldier's journal. I also miss the cold breeze on the Eastern front, it made the battle feel even more desperate. Good times.
The original call of duty stays underrated, imo has the best soundtrack in the series composed by Michael Giacchino. I remember playing the game as a kid and just being terrified by the soundtrack for missions such as the Tirpitz infiltration and the dam mission. Wish the Act man went back and played that gem forreal. Edit: Looks like a lot of you never actually played the original cod and didn’t get the chance to expirience the music. Here are some examples Missions: You are going under cover as a German officer in a German boat to steal crucial information. ua-cam.com/video/U9nFBd5N1vY/v-deo.html You are charging towards certain death with your comrades into machine gun fire in Stalingrad. ua-cam.com/video/2Rc1wHPAMZY/v-deo.html You are solo infiltrating into a german dam to plant explosives and to destroy it. ua-cam.com/video/Xod_YflgQKY/v-deo.html
I never played cod 2 when i was a kid, I played it 2 years ago and i still remember the boat and the dam missions, when they recruited me to the SAS damn that was awesome.
I love how all the tracks sound like they're from an Indiana Jones movie, those were my favorite movie soundtracks, but I don't think any video game soundtrack can beat MW2, Hans Zimmer is the greatest composer of our time after John Williams.
The soundtrack made me forget how depressing the mission would've been without it. Being constantly ambushed by Russians, trying to figure out how to get to the ground, and then boom... the scientist who had the key to the numbers broadcasts gets killed out of seemingly nowhere.
So, funny story, ActMan: I'm on the "Google Rewards" app where they ask you survey questions in exchange for money to use on the Google Play store and they showed a picture of your "Decline of Blizzard" video and asked if I thought it was too "sexually intense." I really wanted to answer 'yes' because I thought it was hilarious, but I wasn't sure if it would negatively impact your channel so I of course said 'no.'
I still think a campaign based on the Fighting in Papua New Guinea and South East Asia would be awesome for a WW2 CoD game playing as the ANZACs in PNG and Ghurkas in South East Asia. Maybe one of the missions being a turret defence playing as an AA gunner during the Bombing of Darwin (the largest attack by a foreign power against Australia) or maybe the pilot of a CAC Boomerang.
Which COD Campaign is your favorite and why is it Black Ops 2?
COD4 hands down
play yakuza 0 and persona 4 golden
What makes you think it’s black ops 2?
my pee pee is hard
Black ops 1, love REZONV. A character which I think is underrated as well is BOWMAN
I didn’t mind the slow pace in no Russian. The sheer shock and horror of it all kept me glued to the screen.
Exactly. The first time I was playing through the level, I was too hyped up from the previous mission to pay attention, but on the second play through, I played attention, and I was like holy shit

If they're just running and gunning, it feels like every other mission, but to have to walk slowly over the bodies of innocent people you just slaughtered, it makes the player contemplate if what they're doing is even right, and being killed at the end of the mission hit different at least for me, realising that all the killing I had just contributed to did nothing to help the situation at hand.

One of the best soundtracks for a game released yet.

@I am a mag main never played halo myself, but i love OST's and my god halo is a masterpiece. Go listen to halo 3 extended theme, it's out of this world.
And if you're a lover of such music (ost) check out Titanfall 2's theme song as well.

I always loved the way Reznov talked about Dragovich, Krevchenko, and Steiner with such venom in his voice. Even when he says, "These... men, must die," he says it with such malice as if the very idea of calling them men is anathema. Truly stellar direction and acting by Treyarch and Gary Oldman.
Or reluctance, like he doesn't want to give them the honor of being called men but knows no better word

Making the game way more interesting and just way more fascinating to play with a campaign!
I will always love the intra-mission cutscenes in World at War. They made it feel like I was playing a History Channel documentary about WW2

@@killswitchuncaged2158 Did Reznov say the "no scope" quote while you were playing the level?
Absolutely. It really made it better knowing the levels were based on actual battles.

"Remember, no Russian"

"Black ops I needs a movie adaption"
Me realize most of the game that has the movie adaptions are bad: "No sir, better keep it on that away"
Honestly I think if anyone could pull off a BO1 movie, it would be Christopher Nolan. Something about his ability to present “mind-fuck” themes in certain movies, with a good cast as well, makes me think he could do a good job as showing Alex’s struggle with the numbers and mixing up events and shit
The only black ops I don't like is four
With different camera angles and inserting existing player models in third person could give you the movie in the game itself
it might work, and yeah if Christopher Nolan is on the project it will certainly work.
Detective Pikachu and Sonic are good video game movies.
Need for Speed is decent is you like the Need for Speed games.
Playing “Takedown” on veteran is one of the worst experiences in a cod campaign.
That mission was such a bitch to complete.
@キイキイ i dont remember Loose Ends being that hard on veteran, but it took me a few tries to get to the end of the mission becuase of trying to outrun the rocket launchers and the cluster fucks.
@キイキイ But the worst part of Loose Ends, is after you beat the mission, all you get is Roach and Ghost getting shot by Shepherd, which makes beating Loose Ends feel very less satisfying, for me at least.
Facts
I broke a controller on it last week
My only big problem with MW 2019’s campaign is that there’s no missions where you play as just a soldier. You’re always playing a these tier 1 operators. I liked CoD 4 because instead of the story jumping between individuals it was instead jumping between factions. As the SAS you were this tier 1 operator going on secret missions, but as the Marines you were just any other grunt fighting a war. In MW 2019 there’s only two missions where I feel like a grunt. Hunting Party-my favorite-and the one where you take the airbase from the Russians alongside Farah and her militia. I just feel like the story would’ve been so much better if Gaz was the one doing all the covert missions while the war fighting was done as a soldier. I also wish that instead of playing as Alex in the first mission we should’ve played as a Raider and died alongside the others.
I agree with that and that’s the reason why I always preferred Rangers over TF 141
@@NoName-hy6xj I actually really like TF141. It adds a lot to the charm of the universe. An international, top tier military group made up of the best handpicked warriors on the planet is really cool in my opinion and strikes a good balance between being both believable and being a little far-fetched. MW2 and MW3 was definitely way too action movie-ish, but I feel like the next MW can really bring some realism to the group.
@@neuracast4739 yes I think that mw2019 is one of my top 5 best CoDs
Alex was with rebels it was definitely not tier 1 shit unless you’re talking about that American feeling in hunting party which yeah I miss
Yeah being just a guy would be sick. It's like in battlefield 3 where you alone try to fight off hundreds of enemies with a machine gun on a tank, but get captured and recorded and executed. It's seems to be inspired by cod 4 but also connects to real events and shows the cruelty of your enemy

-Dom Mazzetti aka gym jesus
Listening to your section about Blops 1 in Vorkuta, it made me realize that Reznov became just as villainous as the ones he was trying to kill. He literally sacrificed the entire POW camp of Vorkuta just to get one man out. You. Thousands of men, dead, just to get his re-programmed puppet back into the world so he can continue this revenge plan in his stead. He talks about brotherhood, but was it REALLY there? Did he really care about Mason? Did he really care about the other Russian soldiers in the prison camp? I believe they were simply tools to him, all there to help him forward his plan for revenge.
Reznov was never a hero in WaW, Chernov was. Reznov relishes in the slaughter of Germans. You have times in the story where it gives you the option to brutally execute POW’s such as herding them down some steps to a closed off railway then throwing a Molotov at them. Resnov encourages this behaviour the entire game while Chernov discourages it. The game has 3 different endings depending on your actions. You can be seen by Chernov as a true hero, a conflicted light or utter disdain that you’re like Reznov.
Nikolai in zombies and Chernov have the same model too.
Well he does in vorkuta sooo....

@@hasanwaheed6770 no, it was a nuke going off in the atmosphere. The initial explosion was too far away to outright kill anybody, but the blast and radiation had an emp effect. Just like coronal mass ejections from the sun can have a similar effect on earth. I'm sure everybody got a healthy dose of radiation that day, but not enough to outright kill people on the ground

I feel like Modern Warfare's campaign was made to be played on realism, I want more missions that are focused on high tension slow gameplay where you need to have quick reaction time.

I played almost the whole game on Realism but I had to tone it down for the last mission as I actually spent so fucking long trying to get up the hill at the start and getting absolutely destroyed.

World at War is my favorite. The game is so dark and depicts WW2 much more realistically compared to any other game based on the war. Plus Reznov and Dimitri are awesome.

Yeah India The EU China Russia and America the will always have slight tensions between them even if some are allies
Only problem is in my opinion; starting from BO3 but especially in BO4 treyarchs games have been a complete mess. Unfortunately playing BO4 and the disaster it was/became really turns me off from whatever comes out this year
Modern missions in bo2 iirc happen around 2025
The cold war has been fought since the early 50's and still continuous through proxy wars and blacked out operations/CIA if you were to point out any war related incident and follow the money you could pinpoint the perpetrators. That's why bitcoin has skyrocketed cause of the untraceable footprint

I can only imagine what you thought of Black Ops 4.

The fact that me being slow enough to catch up to DeFalco as he flees Colossus or me failing to avoid the fire hitting Harper's face has consequences on how the story and interaction between the characters play out has me believe that Black Ops 2 is the peak CoD campaign.

15:00 I'm so glad he brought up the Japanese side of the campaign in WAW and how they just fight different than any other enemies in any other COD, for some reason this is still the only meaningful depiction we have of Japanese infantry as opposed to aerial forces in all of video games, so it makes it even more memorable.
For real. Snipers in the trees, simple booby traps, banzai charges from outta nowhere, popping out of holes in the ground and shooting. They utilized the environment. That shit was dope.
i just watched this after english class and im pretty sure this is the perfect argumentative essay.
the snail phase in MW2 "no russian", i understand some people can see it has unecesary, and i can respect that and actualy agree at some point. but i actually enjoyed it a lot, the first time playing that mission, i was so in shock of wat was going on, the music kept me on edge, slowly walking trough the pile of dead bodys and watching civilians help each other while some bleed out, screams all over the place with gun shoots, or eveen having the shoot the cops, and my fav detail all of the planes get "delayed" on the billboard, it was a impactful moment that the snail phase made me apriciate even more by slowly taking a look at everything.

What I like most about the classic Call Of Duty games (going up to BO2) was that the cutscenes were never ass-numbingly long. They usually only consisted of a recap of the plot so far, or a mission debriefing. The rest of the story would be told through the gameplay which was honestly all we needed. The idea for longer cutscenes I believe started in BO2 and really doubled down by BO3.
Honestly what really does make a cod campaign is exactly what Act Man said ”DOG MODEL”
Man that BO2 soundtrack is just truly magical! I remember back in the day when I was gonna start a new mission in the campaign and i'd just end up listening to that song for like 5 min each time just thinking about things, deep thoughts.
The theme speaks to me on a spiritual level
I remember playing BO2 as a kid and the main theme stuck with me for a really long time. There's just something so moody, it just fit the story and game so well.
The Act Man is one of the only few UA-camrs that I can watch for awhile and not get bored! Keep up the good and hard work man!

I actually enjoyed the Brazil mission, in real life you wouldn't know where ur enemies are or where they came from you just have to be carefull
Yeah but sadly enemies in that mission spawn infinitely so being careful isn't as easy as it sounds.
@Tom Smith nice question
In reality when you fight in an urban environment at your enemies's home, that's exactly like that.
@Tom Smith is it so wrong to type ur?
@Tom Smith well actually i speak spanish, so i guess my English written skills are not that advanced jejej
Act Man is right about the soundtrack. To this day I still listen to the Juggernaut walk in Dust to Dust, Cordia Die theme, the F/A-38 flight pieces , Numbers, so many great pieces of music that really added to the game
I’ve had tons of memorable moments throughout COD campaigns but the nightclub in BO2 actually succeeded in truly hyping me up. Skrillex in the background of the slow motion shooting really put me in some indescribable state of mind.
Funny thing I managed to shoot falcone pretty sure that's his name but he was straight up God moding it and also you could just take the XPR-50 sniper and while falcone is on the second floor headed to the plane I shot him and he died and the mission was over
I always liked the setting of Infinite Warfare from a Science Fiction stand-point. Like, usually with sci-fi you either have a trans-solar human authority with somewhat reliable FTL travel, or you have super-cyber tech Earth. In Infinite Warfare, you have FTL travel, but the ships literally cannot handle it for more than a few seconds without being torn to shreds, and its implied that there are societies and ideologies that separate them from Earth, but the main population is still on Earth because Terraforming takes a long time and making habitable areas on inhospitable planets takes time, resources, and is pretty inefficient. IDK, there probably is a lot I could see done with the setting to flesh it out more.
I love the infinite warfare campaign and that open ending it gave us. It’s too bad it was received so badly or we may have gotten a sequel at some point.
IWs biggest problem was that it had the Call of Duty in front of it. Had it been a standalone franchise, it would have been up there with Halo, Mass Effect or Titanfall.
Infinite is in my top three favorite campaigns for sure. Also the infinite zombies was amazing. That game was under appreciated.
I really enjoyed everything infinite warfare tried to do, and since at that point in time I was a major sci fi nerd wishing for star citizen/squadron 42
FTL you say Have You Ever Heard Imperium Of Man's FTL Drive
Me: "Hey what's your favorite video game genre?"
Random soldier in Iraq:"RPG"
Random soldier in Russia:”AK47”
random soldier in america: "LMG"
The music of Call of duty IW is really awsome. Even the campaign is smooth af like the cutscene and character development for ethan was good. Speacially in the scene in Operation Burn Water when nick and ethan are left behind, we feel emotionally attached with both of them..
The day I lost my BO2 disc was the day my life took a dark turn
Also the Act Man has to a review on Call of Duty: Declassified
Provided he has a Vita or Vita TV. Still surprised about the story and how it connects to Blacks Ops 1 and 2.
I think bo2 is trash, i recommend bo1

When the Act Man played Reznov's monologue in the outro with the Soviet flag in the background
*We* felt that
Yes we did
*WE*
We did for sure
Black ops 4 campaign was my favorite. It was heart breaking, intense and it truly shows horrors of wars while still giving hope of a better future. Oh wait.
lol
It would have been great if instead of cutscenes, each character had a mission or two telling their stories
Lol
Lool
Hey ActMan, have you ever gave a thought of reviewing the older CoDs (I'm thinking about 1 and 2 and their expansions)? In my opinion, it would really be interesting to see how the franchise started and what were its roots.
Man, it makes me sad to know that characters like Dimitri, Reznov, Woods, Mason,Menendez, and more, existed in a world where Taylor aka train go boom exists.
not in MY world. I only have a PS3. Advanced Warfare is the FINAL COD Game. Oh, that;s not particular great either., Oh Well
@syed jawad That's fine. I've played it and wasn't impressed.
@syed jawad Isn't it only the multiplayer though?
@@joeymcm04 yeah
syed jawad but not campaign
Honest to god, I wanted them to make a spec ops mission similar to Clean House, The Wolf's Den and Going Dark. Imagine a dynamic mission where you have to breach a house or building with a squad, an have to clear it of hostiles, decide who's friendly and who's an unknown, who to shoot or not to shoot. Imagine that mission changing each time you play it, hostiles coming out of one room where civilians were hiding before, that would be epic. Those three missions were in my honest opinion the most badass and I craved more of that in Modern Warfare.
I found at least a semi similar experiance to that by playing in the LTM realism on hardcore in multiplayer. Night battles using only ir lasers and nvgs to see while no enemies have nameplates made for some of the most fun and stressful gameplay in that game
The line I still remamber until now, is Cpt. Price scream "MacGregoooooor!!!" in CoD 2
haha takes me back.
COD 2 has my favourite campaign. Just the loading screen with the diary of the soldier you played is the feature I wish COD kept. The edited image of a renactor in gear who grows a beard or gets dirtier when selecting missions in one of the 3 campaigns it's honestly my favourite.
From those you covered in your video I would have to say WAW,BO1,BO2, All of the MWs except the reboot, BO3, AW, WW2,Ghosts
Yeaah, I miss the loading screen with the load cartridges on the side of the soldier's journal. I also miss the cold breeze on the Eastern front, it made the battle feel even more desperate. Good times.
The original call of duty stays underrated, imo has the best soundtrack in the series composed by Michael Giacchino. I remember playing the game as a kid and just being terrified by the soundtrack for missions such as the Tirpitz infiltration and the dam mission. Wish the Act man went back and played that gem forreal.
Edit:
Looks like a lot of you never actually played the original cod and didn’t get the chance to expirience the music. Here are some examples
Missions:
You are going under cover as a German officer in a German boat to steal crucial information. ua-cam.com/video/U9nFBd5N1vY/v-deo.html
You are charging towards certain death with your comrades into machine gun fire in Stalingrad. ua-cam.com/video/2Rc1wHPAMZY/v-deo.html
You are solo infiltrating into a german dam to plant explosives and to destroy it. ua-cam.com/video/Xod_YflgQKY/v-deo.html
Given that so many people, even veteran COD players like myself, have never played the original games, I'd love to see them remastered.
SuperSonic14 that would be amazing
I never played cod 2 when i was a kid, I played it 2 years ago and i still remember the boat and the dam missions, when they recruited me to the SAS damn that was awesome.
I love how all the tracks sound like they're from an Indiana Jones movie, those were my favorite movie soundtracks, but I don't think any video game soundtrack can beat MW2, Hans Zimmer is the greatest composer of our time after John Williams.
@Your One Black Friend Who Gave you the N Word Pass common mistake but hans only did the main theme Lorne Balfe did everything else.
Black ops 1 rooftops level was such a hype level especially with the soundtrack
Numbers was a great mission man.
The soundtrack made me forget how depressing the mission would've been without it. Being constantly ambushed by Russians, trying to figure out how to get to the ground, and then boom... the scientist who had the key to the numbers broadcasts gets killed out of seemingly nowhere.
So, funny story, ActMan:
I'm on the "Google Rewards" app where they ask you survey questions in exchange for money to use on the Google Play store and they showed a picture of your "Decline of Blizzard" video and asked if I thought it was too "sexually intense."
I really wanted to answer 'yes' because I thought it was hilarious, but I wasn't sure if it would negatively impact your channel so I of course said 'no.'
Who asked
@@ptrcrispy who cares if anyone asked
Really, you must be trolling, if you're not, then it is reaaaally funny
It's just a small and funny story the guy thought it would be funny to post in the comments, there no reason to be a dick but you do you I guess
@@ptrcrispy who asked
I still think a campaign based on the Fighting in Papua New Guinea and South East Asia would be awesome for a WW2 CoD game playing as the ANZACs in PNG and Ghurkas in South East Asia. Maybe one of the missions being a turret defence playing as an AA gunner during the Bombing of Darwin (the largest attack by a foreign power against Australia) or maybe the pilot of a CAC Boomerang.
