I'm surprised lootboxes/supply drops and microtransactions weren't mentioned. Especially in Black Ops 3. They hid powerful dlc weapons in the supply drops so anyone willing to shell out extra money for them could get guns that were meta and have an advantage over other players. Same with the gobblegums too. Those took out all the skill in zombies entirely. Perkaholic, Near Death Experience, Reign Drops, etc just ruins the challenge of making it through to high rounds and doing Easter Eggs

Everything about this is fine except sbmm.

Having no sbmm would make new players have to face off against veterans making most of them leave and even if they stay they won't be able to improve cause most of there gameplay will be on the death screen. This and veterans of cod would basically be smurfing. You act like a game being competitive stops you from messing around and not staying in meta because you can't win but you shouldn't be able to win if you aren't playing competively. No one's stopping you from using whatever gun you want and if your friends won't play with you cause they'd lose then you need better friends. Winning only matters in casual if you make it matter.

"OH, you just want to camp in the back of the match." No, I don't. I picked the sniper to play as a sniper. "It's an arcade shooter. Let it be unrealistic." Ok, if that's the case, let the shotguns have medium to long-range 1 shot kill potential if it's just an arcade shooter. "That's unbalanced." And insta killing someone while being shot isn't? I've noticed in the newest cods from mw2019 to mw3 trying to use the sniper as intended has an unfair punishment with glare as big as the sun popping up even if you're inside where no sun would be.

Great video, but worth noting; you 1000% should pick up Call of Duty 2 and play through its campaign. Yeah it’s old, the lack of sprint is a killer, but imo it is 100% the BEST WW2 FPS campaign of any game out there. I grew up on those games; CoD2 Big Red One, CoD 3, MOH European Assault/Frontlines/Rising Sun, and while they all hold a place in my heart, CoD 2 blows them all out the water. I didn’t have a 360 when it released in 05, only a PS2 (they made Big Red One as the PS2 equivalent but its a completely different game) so I only played it in 2012-2013 after picking it up for $10 off the clearance rack in Game Stop. I was absolutely blown away at how good it was. The graphics still hold up pretty well for a game that old (smoke and particle effects were especially impressive, seeing your breath on the cold maps is still a really neat touch) and the diversity of locales keeps things visually interesting; Frozen Stalingrad, the Deserts of North Africa, the beaches, villages and fields of France, the muddy hills and forests of Germany. The mission structure and diversity is great too; sniper missions, hold the line still missions, and very ahead of their time, WELL DESIGNED, non-linear missions in which you’re placed on a small map and given a list of objectives to complete in whichever order you choose. The audio is great as well; gun sounds are crisp and distinctive, and they recorded a TON of voice lines for your enemies and allies, so the battlefields sound like absolute chaos when you’re playing. It also has the BEST D-DAY MISSION OF ALL TIME. You forgo the typical Omaha Beach landing and instead are a member of the Army Rangers, scaling the cliffs of Pointe Du Hoc under mortar and machinegun fire, and when you reach the top you’re given a sprawling battlefield with objectives for you to complete in an order of your choosing. All in all, its an oldie, but I 100% think it’s still worth a playthrough. You’d be impressed. Side note; how THEE FUCK has Toujane, Tunisia from that game only been remade once? And it was in shitty ass MW2 which I didn’t even buy? That map was phenomenal and needs to be brought back to another good CoD

Some people do but call of duty has never been a MilSim. COD4 is an arcade shooter along with every other popular COD. Also stupid costumes are a completely separate topic

[@andy9476]

@@AscendAR Given i am 4 months late but i think he meant that people want to just play as regular soldiers not spec ops soldiers. Not that people want COD to be a MilSim game. I think either or is fine as flavor but i also never payed to cents to which group i was playing as.

Yeah I got confused by this. Maybe I'm also interpreting it a little different from what your take is but the "new" IW during 2019 was a lot of the old IW team

[@themizfit87]

i actually found that game really enjoyable especially at launch. guns had recoil the the crouch to help alleviate recoil was nice. but then they decided to power creep the old guns adding new ones and nerfed the damn sniper scope for the ARs.

Shotguns are supposed to be op tho, they aren't meant to be a melee distance weapon. 00 buckshot is effective easily at 500 yards or more

the worst things about codm are: Tencent (TIMI) involvement, as so, leading to some questionable skins. The meta of chopper/vtol/sentry, which leads to some real struggles of grinding guns/camos. unclear settings and, sometimes, localization issues.

5:35 now i dont know how true this is but i read in an article years ago not long before the one after ghost dropped that one of the main reasons the iar god gun was never patched because of the terrible reception and how quickly people went to play any other cod game. if i can find it again i'll link it

[@tirtel1]

While i personally loved cod 4, mw2, bo1 and bo2, each had big flaws that really made me think "how didn't they think it's not going to be an issue?" Cod4 - juggernaut martyrdom - in addition to having to put multiple bullets into the guy, now he also drops a live grenade, have fun running smg builds.. Mw2 - acr and ump. There's no way you played enough of this game and never mentioned it as an issue. There's also danger close, scavenger picking up launcher + grenade ammo, rpd shreding every living being through walls, 200 ammo magazines, commando tactical knife... I love this game but it had so many issues, the only thing you could do is join the imbalanced party and run ump cold blooded in order to keep yourself sane . BO1 - I remember launch m60 being terribly broken, napalm strike being one of the most influential 5 kill streaks ever, terrible spawns..but surprisingly enough this was one of the most balanced cod games of all. BO2 - 3-4 meta guns and the rest being seriously behind, up to the point of a joke. It's where burstfire guns started being a running joke as no cod dev wanted to repeat the cod4 m16 domination. Also, the game had the worst crutch perks in the history. It was impossible to compete without hardened and tactical mask. Most tacticals were so powerful, being hit by one meant an almost guaranteed death from most potato players in the world. It's just 4 games, and I think that you didn't do enough justice to their bad side. Still a good video, and glad I agree with someone on bo3 campaign being extremely terrible, it was so boring i think i barely made it through 2 missions, while with other cods it was usually completing the campaign week after purchasing the game.

[@berockgaming650]

I would’ve put hit detection for world at war but it did innovate very little for mp.

[@AscendAR]

That’s fair! Hit detection wasn’t the greatest for WAW 😂

[@johnprice6271]

I will say, the biggest downside to Air Patrol was that it was countered by itself. If you called it in, all the enemy had to do was call their own in before yours took effect and no killstreaks from either team would be destroyed. It was a very dirty streak, but it was also easily countered if both teams had at least one decent player with Air Patrol put on.

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

Who is this dude? These decisions are the ones I’ll expect of an old squeaker who would have his day made by getting a UAV.

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

Giving some quick ones to prove my point. Could say more. Cod4: Grenade times x3 / Martyrdom on Shipment. WaW: MP40, the most broken gun ever. Also the weakness of mortar strikes and the lethality of Bouncing Betty’s. MW2: COMMANDO. Since modern cod community is BO2 squeakers, the hatred towards commando and rage compilations have been lost to time. BO1: Ghost / Last stand. That was accurate… but also it was the old cod with WORSE HIT DETECTION. MW3: Again good, Noob’s Hand. However people who played it a lot know that the snipers were actually insane. MSR might be comparable to the ACR on usage. BO2: Target Finder LSAT. Oh and EMP grenades were nukes, immense blast radius and no care for walls. I used them and they were a GOD version of Hardline because you get so much free score. After these games, this dude started caring about online 6v6 it seems… still feels like a Wikipedia answer.

[@skidward8325]

​​@@josetomascamposrobledano4618 these are way too superficial and don't change the game beyond a surface level

[@josetomascamposrobledano4618]

@@skidward8325 I don’t know if you noticed. But Cod is basically a copy-paste game, so the “superficial” is actually what makes one game great and another bad. Source? Read what Vondeerhar wrote when he left Treyarch. “You can’t change much in an established series” and other stuff. But proof in practice? Cod2022 VS Cod2023. The dumb community is calling one game “worse than Satan” and the other “cheat-streamer movement heaven”. Now I don’t expect anything smart from the cod community. So a small movement patch + reverting superficial changes are actually enough to justify a new game… since before 2023 DLC.

[@Underworlder5]

as someone who played CoD 1 (called CoD classic on PS3), i would probably say the worst part is the lack of regenerating health. it forces you to play so much more carefully than later CoD games, and reaching a checkpoint with low health and no nearby health packs was a death sentence. just playing greenhorn difficulty (this games version of recruit) was quite a challenge, and i could barely beat the game on regular. i might have been spoiled by later entries, but that still says quite a bit about how hard it is. should probably play it again when i have the chance, refresh my memory a little honorable mention goes to the controls. there is no sprinting, and you have to manually select every weapon before you can use them (even grenades), which makes the gameplay feel a lot clunkier. however, that is only an honorable mention, because i have accepted that as part of the games identity, and i can appreciate some old school jank

As a veteran COD:M player, the major problem of the game is it's updates, i love the fact that it's updated every month, but each update resets the game data completely So you'll have to download every map, every skin, and every game mode all over again every 28 days, which is 7 gigabytes, and it's not new content, everything is just deleted from your phone Also i subbed
