Watching the 1943 portions of this video hurts like hell because as someone who never owned a console and is an exclusive pc player I watched hours of 1943 videos praying that one day I'll also be able to play it on pc. It was going to be ported but eventually they just changed their minds and we never got it. I wanted to play 1943 SO much.

Ngl, i feel like the only reasons WHY these are notable is due to them being in CoD, if they were in another game, it would probably be mid. But because it was in cod and got out of that gameplay loop, it felt like a breath of fresh air, but its artifical.

You want to play Assassin's Creed (2007) so bad, and you don't even know it

I actually pre-ordered the last-gen version of BO3 and I played the shit out of it.

nah mate . third party servers for the win

Yes. And Call of Duty was always a wild shooter. They're dabbling in some strategy and making you think about a story, which is pleasant. But it's not Hitman, Metal Gear, or an adventure game

9:43 what draws you to this conclusion? Because 2 different studios made 1 level each and that means “they must want to make a full espionage game!!!!” I highly doubt it, sledgehammer were probably thinking “wow people keep shitting on our level designs let’s try something new” and then treyarch was like “hmmmm let’s do what they did but more”

It's not exactly what you're looking for, but the reboot Hitman franchise is pretty close to what you are looking for in terms of a fully realized immersive sim with scripted avenues, options, and consequences for sloppiness.

I remember hating liberation because it was so slow and boring, if i wanted a stealth game I’d go play mgs4 again or any number of other games that actually do stealth well The coldwar mission wasn’t any better actually it was much worse cuz it was much longer

As a modern history ATAR student. It’s almost disgusting how many errors in Cold War there are to real life. Down to all the little details that paint a very wrong picture. Still enjoy the game but it’s merely Cold War themed lol

I’ve always had a hankering and felt there was a big black void for proper SOE/OSS espionage games and Cold War spy thriller stuff. Black ops Cold War flossing over it and now see WW2 doing the same is such a kick in the pants to me. So much potential for unique gameplay and story writing. One day. I hope to good gravy we will get one.

Cold War, a game that is basically Raven's cry for help out of the CoD salt mines

You had me on your side until you said black ops zombies sucks. Which is crazy.

Damn, this truly is Shitty Chauffeur.

I'd watch videos from The Crew and NobodyEpic's Shit From Last Week series all the time a decade ago. I was so caught off guard when that clip became a mainstream meme.

I MISS THE HUB!!

Ironically, Infinite Warfare was closest to old call of duty. It was all about soldiers working together against impossible odds and making the ultimate sacrifice when the there was no other choice. That mission in France was ruined with how inaccurate it was with the cartoonishly evil the German antagonist was when the real life person in his position saved Paris from destruction.

target near the trees west of the cave

this is why cold war was rushed complaints and complaints every single time

i’m hoping that ioi’s new 007 game feels like this. the new wolfenstein games also have a few cool espionage moments

What is the server

We already have a game with your pretentions. Is called Hitman, and it's waiting for you!

I saw my friend playing Most Wanted on his PS2 back then, I didn't know the title so I just begged my mom to buy me "racing game" too. Imagine my disappointment when I popped the disc and saw this game.

Great, now I'm even MORE sad that Medal of Honor is all but forgotten. Fingers crossed sledgehammer gets to expand this idea.

I actually enjoyed Cold War. Its one of my favourite modern cods and I still look back on it fondly.

i grew up with velocity x and world race. the password systems were so frustrating. i always lost the pieces of paper my dad wrote the passwords on, so i could say it annoyed him too. thank god for save states. but either way, theyre still good games imo. they have a special place in my heart because they were my introduction to my favorite things, cars and gaming.

COLD WAR IS GOOD YALL ARE JUST MAD ENOUGH 🤬🤬🤬🤬

IIRC, the EDF series evolved from the seimple series. and they are just great.

A prison of games. Games imprisoned in a larger game

Thanks for sharing, buying a copy rn

When u finishing WAW man?!

I feel this with zombies, why is it still an additional mode to CoD. It waists time and recourses for other modes and the mode itself. Zombies deserves its own standalone game. Shame the rumors never came to light

14:27 I would argue that outrun races are actually the real races in this game (as in most realistic in a street racing themed game). In street racing you don't do circuit, sprint, or race track racing with a set number of laps or finish lines drawn on the ground. You would rather challenge another street racer on the fly, e.g., on the highway or at a traffic light, and then try to build distance in order to beat them. Outrun races are just that.

Liberation is the only good mission in WWII. While it is my favorite mission in Cold War, Desperate Measures is one of many missions that i heavily enjoyed in the game. Kind of a miracle Cold War's campaign was so good, considering how short a time it was made in.

MCC HCE's netcode isn't gearbox's Its their own, which makes it worse. HPC and Custom Edition (HCE) had netcodes designed ot be dialup modem friendly (rumored to be a MS mandate). The netcode asn't bad per-say, just you had to lead your shots. Instead of shooting a player hen your reticule was red, you'd aim ahead of them. just enough to the left or right where the reticule is in some cases no longer red, indicating enemy. MCC's is just terrible, your own clips showing shots that should hit not hitting, on stationary targets.

I mean if you want to play these kinds of missions there's like 3 modern Hitman games that exist

4:00 actually the prisoners you save are their to provide backup in case you're detected in the courtyard stealth section

that one mission on the ps2 cod

I never played this game. I only watched I believe Ali-A's playthrough of it, when it came out. This is quite literally the only thing I remember about this game's campaign, whenever I think about it.

10:15 We have king geedrah on the track

Setting up Insignia through the Xemu emulator was a beotch, but once you get all the files and get it setup, it's a great time. I'd still recommend setting it up on an OG XBOX and playing that way since there can be missing textures and performance issues on the emu.

0:34 Bro the WWII train scene has become one of my favorite moments in video games just because of how absurdly long and dramatic it is. 😂

It sounds like you really need to play the 3 modern hitman games. Thank me later

still better than vanguard

i really liked ww2 and idk why people really hate it. the multiplayer was alright i mean it worked and it was the first one i ever grinded and actually got a chance to play. i like the ww2 genre of stuff so to me it was interesting and fun. the zombies is actually zombies not whatever we're being spoon fed today, its just sad to see it so neglected by the entire community and the devs. i think if they really put more time, care and effort into it it could've been a better game but for now its just alright and hard to go back to for me and I even loved the entirety of it.

Black Ops Cold War is criminacriminally underrated.

Liberation and Desperate Measures were my favorite missions in Call of Duty games, because they reminded me so much of the older Medal of Honor games on the PS1 (where there were a few "stealth" missions, but you had to deal with the game only allowing it to work to a certain point before your cover was completely blown). Speaking of which, we need a proper remaster/remake of the original Medal of Honor series, but we know that EA won't bother.

1:05 reminds me of a roblox ww2 normandy landings game i used to play

king geedora outro music hard as fuck fr

I never made it this far in the campaign and now I’m on Xbox with no way to play it. Sure as hell won’t rebuy it just for one mission but this looks incredible.
