To the ex anti-cheat dev @MrSirDrRevCapt... PLEASE give me part 2 of all this. I really wish SHG just had free reign to show us what they got without crazy dev crunch times and IW input. Maybe they'll gradually get more control over MWIII as the year progresses.

I am not a CoD mapper or modder, but I am fairly certain the reason why you (and all MWIII players, for that matter) so often get stuck on geometry is because all of these maps were originally developed for the canned MW2 Remastered Multiplayer. You gotta remember, the Remastered Multiplayer was a real thing. Activision canned it because they wanted to force people to buy the newer game, and for a couple of years, they wanted to keep it in a safe, ready to be released once a brand new CoD came out but flopped hard. With the claims that MWIII was developed in 18 months, and with the notion that all of its multiplayer maps are just MW2 (2009) maps for no specific reason at all (think about it, if they were to remaster maps for the third installment in the reboot trilogy, wouldn't it make more sense to remaster the 2011 MW3 maps?), it becomes obvious that Sledgehammer was forced to hastily port everything made for MW2MR to the new game, and the sudden change in engines probably messed up with the physics engine and/or the original geometry, designed for the older game with the pre-MW2019 movement, flow and physics engine.

I think there's something here. I would've loved MW3 maps, but I think the majority of people prefer MW2 over MW3. So they remastered those maps. They are more nostalgic than MW3.

That person ain't wrong.

Speaking of which it didn't have the Mexican flag when the whole game took place in Mexico. MW3 kinda sort of put the rest, but are still missing flags. For a game dev that wants to show they support "RePrEsEnTaTIon", they are doing a shit job at it.

[@lalter_]

Activision executives should be behind bars not only because of the whole Activision-Blizzard lawsuit fiasco, but because of their inhumane treatment of both Sledgehammer Games AND TREAYRCH all the way back since Black Ops 4's revolutionary open world campaign had to be cancelled to put out a functional 100 player battle royale in less than a year. But even that managed to have more soul than anything put out ever since 2019. 3 years of support and content cancelled. Zombies factions cancelled. Satisfying conclusions to either of the zombies stories cancelled. Advanced movement in multiplayer cancelled. The biggest Call of Duty of all time cancelled. I'll say this again: Infinity Ward and Activision do not deserve an ounce of sympathy.

[@burkholder1992]

The last time Infinity Ward had any soul put into a game was the over hated Infinite Warfare. The devs seemed really excited to share that game with the community despite all the hate it got. And let’s not forget they got loot boxes right. But I agree that whatever happened with MW2019 and so on has been disastrous

[@youngtidepod3507]

Biggest call of duty of all time canceled?

[@Overheat909]

​@youngtidepod3507 Black Ops 4 was set to be Treyarch's most ambitious game, and then they would have done it again with Cold War... But, he's absolutely correct, Activision sabotaged both of those games. BOTH OF THEM. Everything he's talking about with BO4 that couldn't happen was among things that were supposed to happen. Cold War had a lot of things that were supposed to happen but couldn't. So yes, this game essentially could have apexed MW2019 even, had Activision put their biases aside and do what they're there to do: Help companies make their games and help rake in the money. They made money, but the best way to give them the gut punch: They could have triple what they have now if they let Treyarch cook, same with IW.

Frankly, it’s a miracle Vanguard and MWIII didn’t turn out even worse than they have. Also just Activision forcing them to have to run most game decisions by Infinity Ward before implementing them.

[@shgcsmith-fl5eq]

I've been watching your recent videos on MWIII. I worked for IW & Activision thru SHG on this title. I would like to clear up a few things that you have covered: 1) Yes, there are bots in multiplayer lobbies. We were never given a reason for this, in fact one of our colleagues on SHG was fired by IW/Activision because he expressed his concern about the integrity of the game to the wrong person and it got back to IW/Activision. AI has gotten so powerful now that they have code written that can mimic real players play style. It apparently took a long time to develop this as kill cams would appear to be like the bot had aimbot/wall hacks. They got that figured out eventually, but you were spot on in yesterday's video where they were getting stuck on walls. That is a key issue with the bots is that for some reason they get stuck on the map perimeter walls and don't always work like they did in DMZ/Campaign/Co-op etc, like all AI tech, there are issues...The "rationale" that IW/Activision used in initiating this was because "people complained for years about lobbies being unbalanced" (an obvious lie as lobbies are still unbalanced from time to time. It's not a piece of code that SHG worked on specifically, it was a behind-closed-doors piece of code/tech that IW/Activision created. 2)DMZ is gone and it is not going to come back. The reason that it was free in beta was because they were trying to redo the whole way zombies was played from the way it was in the past. They wanted to introduce the DMZ-style mechanics to the public and then push everyone towards Zombies to boost sales when MWIII launched. The problem was that it became wickedly popular and people LOVED it as it was. They wanted obvious quality-of-life improvements and for the game to continue, but IW/Activision refused to put it into the new game because they wanted people to buy zombies. You see, there is a very clear difference that IW/Activision has discovered with DMZ players. They tend to play 80% DMZ & the rest is multiplayer to level up weapons and some warzone. This is what the data tells us (I became good friends with one of the few GOOD guys at Activision so I tended to get a fuller picture on certain topics when we'd go out for drinks while many of my co-workers at SHG would be in the dark and not understand why certain things were happening. IW/Activision omitted DMZ from the new launch specifically because they knew that if they put it in the new game then those hardcore DMZ players would expect it to be free - which it should be - and they would not spend the money on the new game. This is the real reason that DMZ is not in the new game in addition to zombies and warzone, and, why it is going to get no updates. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if they shut down the servers like they did for Warzone 1 to boost sales of the new game around spring or summer. That was a calculated move they pulled to get more people to buy MWII - and it worked. 3) The game has in fact become all about pay-to-win bundles and special skins etc. You've probably noticed that bundles used to cost COD points almost exclusively, however, in the last year, the shift has turned to about 50% being for COD points and cash money respectively now. You'll also notice how the cost of the COD points bundles has increased substantially. So now, you cannot get the Battle Pass, complete it and then have earned enough COD points to get a nice bundle anymore. It's all about money with IW/Activision. They expected the world of us. When we told them we needed more time to get the bugs fixed in the game and that they should push the launch date back a few months AT LEAST we were told it was out of the question and we began having to sleep in our offices and began missing LIFE. We were told in no uncertain terms that: as long as we didn't have too many more bugs than last year's launch than it was okay with them. As you've probably heard by now there are many people that have bought the game and cannot even get it to load....This is specifcally because IW/Activision is all about profits and do not care that they are putting out a $hit product. Don't ask what department I work in or if I was fired or still work for IW/Activision under SHG; I may have already said enough to figure out who I am and have certainly violated my non-disclosure agreement...I feel sorry for the players, I really do. We all got free codes to download the game for ourselves obviously. I refused to use mine and contribute to their statistics and would encourage others to play what they already own or explore other FPS games as IW/Activison is a complete $$ Wh0r3.

Damn what you said about BO2 really hit hard. I LOVED (and still do) Black ops 2. The setting, the guns, the way the game played etc But still I was and am a somewhat bad player. So why can't it be enjoyable without SBMM anymore? To answer my own question: I think it was because people were trying to get better. I don't have as much time to play anymore but every game I would still make some progress. Nowadays the lower skilled group of players tend to not want to improve/can't improve, maybe both. If you would remove SBMM they would get destroyed each game (until they get better) but if they don't have the ambition to become better, they will quit the game. If they quit, lower player numbers, lower sales in the store (since these players can't achieve killstreaks/wins/... they probably spend a lot more in the store to at least look good).

3 years with 3k devs and the product still was absolute ass

[@reclucid]

for the first time in many years i find myself hooked to a youtubers content like meth man you are so funny, so down to earth, there really isn’t any way i can put it this whole mw23 thing has kinda helped my mental out which i find really odd but this series actually got me curious, and so i bought the game a week after launch when i saw your first video on this. i was just too invested to not buy it and see for myself. now that i have i can say you really ain’t lying at ALL its truly kinda freaky how deep this is going and how you’ve hit bullseye after bullseye you gotta see this through

[@DonovanPuricelliOzzyOsbourne]

Sounds like the whole IW dev team and team leader needs to be fired and have some fresh eyes and minds work on the new COD games and put passion and life and SOUL back into COD. This isn't gonna end well for IW in the long run.

[@neogenesis0038]

COD lost it's originality long ago. They began with copying HALO, then Battlefield, then Titan Fall, now it's Fortnite. They went from leading the way, to attempting to clone every popular idea, and in doing so, destroyed what made them great. Add in the fact they became overly greedy...and you are left with what you have now, a game with no identity, no soul, a shell of it's former self, and, worse, highly manipulative for reasons unknown. They were at the top, it was their spot to lose, and they literally jumped off the ledge and hit bottom.

[@Acc0rd79]

Sledgehammer needs to come out here swinging and risk it all and speak the truth!! If you aren't willing to stand behind your values you will be walked over. I mean they could get picked up by another company so fast and begin to make quality games. Stand up for yourselves Sledge and speak the truth, even if it causes you to look for a new job.

[@andrewb1123]

Who else would be okay if we only got a new CoD every two years? Alternating between whatever Sledgehammer and Treyarch wants to make? It would give them each a 4 year dev cycle and honestly if they did that i would probably buy a dlc 1 year in.

Ever seen Bungie’s Vidic for Marathon on KZbin? Yeah that’s what a lot of AAA dev teams today look like and why our games are crap

Dude, the fact that SHG keeps getting screwed over and over is very saddening. At this point, we are gonna have to figure something out to show IW and Activision to stop screwing with them.

[@thisguystrats]

If only (don't buy the game) there was a way (don't buy the game) we could send a message (don't buy the game) that would get Activision's attention (don't buy the game) and cause actual (don't buy the game) change. Oh well, guess that's just a pipe dream.

[@Matthew_Cordle]

To this day I believe call of duty’s problems started with the introduction of Warzone. Since then, IW has pushed for every cod to rely on microtransactions and the “Battle Pass” crap. Every game mode has suffered because of this. Spec Ops is a joke, Zombies has completely lost it’s identity. And Multiplayer is just used to get people in the cod store. Since the MW19 engine, gunplay has become horrible, sbmm gets worse every year, the ricochet anti-cheat is a disaster, the ui and menu’s are terrible, I don’t understand why every cod has to show up when you open any of them. Operators are an absolute joke. The “Seasons” HAVE RUINED CONTENT UPDATES. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE POINT OF ADDING GOOD GAME MODES AND TAKING THEM AWAY. WHY DOES CALL OF DUTY NEED SO MANY CROSSOVER SKIN BUNDLES?? WHY ARE THEY TRYING SO HARD TO BE FORTNITE?!?!??! I have played Vanguard for like 10 minutes at a friends house, and I swear aim assist stopped being a thing since then. My point in this entire rant is that I agree, IW has been killing cod this entire time.

That statement is exactly what i left too. So i wasnt going crazy. He sounds like he was maybe 3 to 4 years after me and to hear him echo my same statements and he was a dev. My god. This video needs more views, and Id love to be in the call too. I know i was just a QA tester but i bet we both have similar horror stories

A moment of silence for all the normal people working at these studios being treated like shit. From those above them to even some of the freaks on the same level as them. Not only that, they also have to deal with a community out for blood however rightful it is. Some of these people got their dream job only to have it ruined by some "green juice drinking ninny" who sees the job as a launch pad to fail upwards.

What the SHG employee sounds pretty accurate. I’ve been telling people the same thing about this game based off of what I’ve heard so many different streamers saying and I’m experiencing the lag and all that when I have a good connection and should be lagging. What you said, I completely agree as well. Tired of these full squad campers man just boring asf on these camper’s dream maps.

[@jimjones9631]

Microsoft needs to look into this, especially if the studio is working to undermine the success of call of duty then they have a fiduciary duty to its investors to make sure

[@danielirving7209]

So I just leveled the MTZ 762 to max, for the ADS while moving kills after to unlocked the conversion kit. Equipped it, and it glitches out reverting it back to stock once you start a MP match.....can't even USE the conversion kit in game. Wtf.....

This. I also believe there will be changes. In the past two days I have gotten exclucively PC lobbies as well, no fucking aimbot nonsense and it was like playing another game compared to being stuck with aimbot peasants.

[@aayobruv]

Can def appreciate the devs comment and the light they shined, but don't care about their bias on vanguard just because they were apart of making it. I guess even devs are blindsighted by their own garbage. Don't get me wrong, as a dev I would pride myself in my creative capacity, but I wouldn't deny the game is garbage, if it's garbage. Vanguard was absolutely horrible. The fact a dev stated that the team doesn't like CoD is hilarious and says enough. - Can Microsoft rehaul the CoD team, and bring back the OG devs instead? Get respawn entertainment to make the next game. Also I don't like guns (which is why i play shooter games) or the example the American govt sets, but that doesn't have anything to do with making a CoD game - stop creating ulterior motives, narratives, & integrating your views at your workplace and just focus on making a fcking game. When did CoD as a studio become so fragile and privilege? CoD as a studio and their superiors need to be replaced. On another note, following politics, left or right these days is just literal brain rot. tune out, screw all of that noise, this is about video games.

[@LittleWing-35]

I really think that comment is 100% true. The AI voice chat reporter has banned be for 14 days for trash talking. Basically when someone bit at me because I was slapping them in the map and it flagged me up for voice violation and then referred me back to guidelines. This getting stuck thing is so true as well. I slide cancel and all of a sudden the character stops, and I just bob up and down, frustrating really. I get people will say it’s a skill thing but it’s definitely not. The zombies map which will be the Warzone map, there’s a lot of places on there where you can’t run up a hill and have to go round an invisible barrier or have to mount over something invisible. The crane in downtown, you get stuck in the operator cabin and can’t shoot the windows to get out of it.

[@elbowskiii4790]

Hey BT, can you look into how SBMM issues change in match. I have an odd feeling that the higher your K/D the more your SBMM fluctuates in match. Leading to worse gun fights while other teammate with lower K/Ds have better gun fights more often than you. Is there a way you can test it I have been thinking about this for a couple days.

[@elbowskiii4790]

Not sure if I articulated what I’m trying to say correctly

[@lambdafn1776]

The only way the could manipulate what gunfights you get into would be to either fill the entire enemy team with bots, or dynamically adjust the accuracy/damage of your gun. Or maybe I misunderstood.

It's probably due to your connection/ping

@@railasvuo I was thinking so at first but I have matches where it feels like there is nothing wrong with my controller outside a few gun fights I only noticed this because I was on with my friend who is actually decent at the game he just doesn’t really go for kills and he goes for the objective but has like a .87 K/D to my 1.09 K/D and I wasn’t going negative but it just felt like I couldn’t pick up a good streak meanwhile he is racking up 120 kills this was on shipment btw.

We definitely need an investigation as to why this game is so big. Like there’s no way it’s over 220 GB. Like no way that’s possible. That honestly the largest game that I’ve ever seen. The campaign isn’t that long and online there’s like 8 maps that are all fairly small. I haven’t played zombies that much so not sure how big that is but there is no way this game is that huge like bigger than any other game on Xbox by at least 100GB
