Black Ops 2 in 2023 is WILD

[@M3RKMUS1C]

*10,000 LIKES FOR MORE OG COD!* The MWIII leaks are basically standard, expected features. Hopefully we get more than that, but I won’t hold my breath

[@dudebro484]

Unlucky but it do be like that I guess :/

[@ralphtechcoffeusa3884]

Cod should just stop releasing yearly.

[@Michael-ip1sl]

Merk everything you experienced while playing black ops 2 happened to me where there was a hacker using the adventure time hack

[@Clown_Shingles]

We need another clown bundle

[@kenet362]

Bundles transferring from game to game?

[@thepopmanbrad]

Fun fact it’s been confirmed that Microsoft were the ones who fixed the match making which is insane they’ve done more then Activision has in years

[@xaserizm]

You know it was Microsoft who were the reason they were broke right.. not Activision's fault they only updated it because they are adding old cods to game pass so they have to be playable

[@ashtonoliver-scott]

@@xaserizm if it was Microsoft’s fault they wouldn’t be still broken on PS and PC

I never seen it on game pass

Glad to see COD in a slightly better space now that match making is fixed. It was fun seeing you enjoy some BO2 again!

[@ilydisarm9581]

very awesome i grew up watching you play this and laughing my pain from everyday life away with you merk thank you man

[@RestlessInferno]

BO4 does have a cheat/exploit/glitch where you essentially get the ability to exo-jump/boost as well as have unlimited specialist weapon usages. I'm not sure how it's done, but I've ran into plenty when I recently played the game for a bit.

[@shunakiyama6421]

It's possible to be "invisible" too like in bo3, but i dont think it has the god mode effect it just makes you alot harder to kill

[@Oznerol1234]

Still possible uh, I had the same experience at least a year ago

[@qamzatmedvedov]

its from blackout there was a low gravity/exo jump gamemode they probably use the config or something like that to alter the gamestate its like turning old school on in cod4

[@user-ti8pz2ej3x]

It’s done through save wizard. The jet pack is the most easy thing to counter but there’s sadly nothing you can really do against unlimited specialist or invisibility + God mode.

[@Mariocat99]

I wouldnt mind it on zombies mode, but multiplayer or blackout, rather have instant unlocks and nothing else

[@mattrudman5474]

I see BO2 I click like! The nostalgia man😭and the gameplay. You just had to be there🔥

[@dmajorray6154]

@Sky22. considering b02 is one of the last borderline "good" multi-player fps games in the last DECADE I don't think nostalgia plays as much of a role as many think. B01 got a tiny bit of love and immediately got 100k. Whereas a modern fps dies within 6 months to a year. Plus we also have to realize, why does something like b02 deserve nostalgia versus most games made hell even 3 years ago now? Because it's just borderline better. Yall gotta stop defending this companies making shitty modern games lmao, this "nostalgia" you think people are blinded by are just literal good memories. Not memories of something sorta ok in a good time

I have a feeling you'll unlock gear via something like DMZ if it is returning also I doubt gear will affect you visually and will instead just be stats tied to invisible objects

We gotta get FaZe Booce awake so he can play these old COD Games in a video.

[@omittedcookie3250]

I’m so grateful with the matchmaking patches, I was able to experience WAW for the first time a while back and it was an amazing experience.

[@MRFAMAS-dc9ug]

How people get mod menus is through stats, and you'll see a bunch of players, but it's usually some random player in about the 1000s, and how they get them is you press on that player and go their edited films

[@ToxlIc]

for gun skins i dont know why they dont add a randomize button so each time you're in a game its a different skin or camo, depending if u bought bundles or did camo grinds

[@KhakLe2403]

Highly recommend joining back, the mods are fun, casual is great, the nostalgia is real

[@EndlessNoChill]

Infections was only meant to show Treyarch & Activison how broken there best sold games was, and would only get worst with time, and there new ones would only get worst and we was right.

[@Marshimized]

5:30 this is how MW2 2009's create-a-class system was supposed to work (leggings, helmets, and vests), kinda cool that they're bringing the concept back

[@AdenGFX]

The way they do it on BO2 is find it through leaderboards and checking peoples saved edited films

[@eldwarf034]

The community being excited about Ninja coming back just showcases how one small detail like that changes how people perceive the game massively

[@WhySoSeriousGM]

I kind of agree with the point of the perks changing the character models but what about the cosmetic bundles they love? They would have to make like 6 different outfits for each skin they make and I know they are way too lazy to do that and they definitely aren’t gonna get rid of the skins since it makes so much money

[@mathixa1233]

They won't they will keep them the same but just change the stats probably, they lazy af...

[@Fafmaister]

maybe skins will be like blueprints, every part of the skins will be like the gun attachments for blueprints, it will be certain parts of the skin but as blueprints and will be combos of different perks

[@FireMonkey1044]

I'm happy I'm not the only one who's having issues with back compatibility. Bo1 and bo2 are so difficult with the input lag.

[@austinmull8515]

Its shouldnt be much of a disadvantage considering most users have xbox ones or series x and s. As a xbox one user i have noticed many issues

[@HIES187]

You cant get to the modded theater clip through cod TV but people have it saved in their clips so thats how people are still able to use them. They need to remove those clips entirely or fix the way that theyre able to give you the mods

The perks as clothes reminds me of Advanced Warfare. Even though in Advanced Warfare it was just cosmetic, but you got glasses, hats, boots, and exo-suit backpack thing out of supply drops.

[@DarkPhantom-zt9gk]

Erik, there's people playing Ground War in MW2 2009 and MW3.

The low field of view is the hardest part to get used too again with the old games

[@ImMeters]

That Xbox ding 😳

[@wouldbemusic]

5:30 the MW23 perk system is basically Advanced Warfare's gear you got in supply drops. I wonder how long it'll take Activision to make p2w bundles with "cosmetic" changes to your perks- gear I mean. Edit: I just thought about this: since Activision really seems to want to push the extraction shooter, 'ultra tactical' design of COD, they could potentially make wearable perks add weight to your character...like an RPG (think Skyrim/ Cyberpunk.) I hope that doesn't happen but if it does, it's gonna cause a lot of damage to the community.

[@creepyp45ta]

love ur take on this merk

[@wolvexus]

Careful Eric, don’t give them ideas Edit - Having bought some bundles myself (only a couple I thought looked cool, no DMZ ones cus I don’t do DMZ), I like to mix and mash different gun parts to make things cursed like the neopyric m13b + mjolnir m13b blueprints

[@JECSGAMING]

It’s crazy how the thing I’m hyped about the most about MWlll is that reload canceling is back probably 😱😂🤦‍♂️

[@Ky_Mycology]

We've got GunSmith, so why not a map editor? That would make replay value a lot better. Being able to host game modes and map's. Would be a welcomed change to the franchise, atleast that's how I feel.

to stop infection users from getting in your game you can go and get the force host infection to make you host then they wont be able to join because they have to force host themselves unless they have an off host menu

[@cameranmann3606]

To be fair tho Merk, if the perks are like that it’d basically just be the COD Ghost perk system. Those perks were were super funky

[@kingjaffe9339]

I like the idea of bringing back the war mode but then you have the likelihood of it getting forgotten about like it did in WW2 where we only got like 4 new maps the entire lifespan of the game

[@The_Best-zd1yy]

There are tons of people still playing war in ww2 sometimes i even go back and play it war was the best part of waw and ww2 for me at lesst

[@MG-wm9kq]

Cod multiplayer needs a mix of original and rainbow six siege gameplay like rappelling up or down building , leaning , and shoot through any wall or destroy any wall and levelution

[@McreeWeyes]

That crocs example is exactly so spot on and I see it happening 😭

[@RizlaAndRoach]

I feel like MW3 will bring back loot boxes. Spend $10 real money to open 5 and get a crusty weapon skin, an emblem, a pair of boots and gloves and a weapon charm, when in reality all anyone wants is a cool chest rig and a sick helmet with ngv.

[@kasem_7615]

BO2 and BO3 were my favorite cods BO2 has more special place in my heart

If you have an infection in your saved edited films you can use it still but you can't see community on xbox1(go through theater mode)

[@gaming_hippie4806]

Yes war in waw was cool. But I think if I'm not mistaken, ww2 from the Sledgehammer game is a game mode called war was advance tanks, and the audio was messed up to crap where the announcer screemed advance tanks so loud it broke your ear drums 13:03

I like the show don't tell on this channel. Half of CoD youtubers like to shit on MW2 and then post it the very next day. M3rk genuinely doesn't even play it. He's not trying to stir up drama. He understands it's not worth the time and effort to upload because of how bad it is. It's nice to know his feelings are genuine.

At least with the Gear you'll have all your perks from the start, the problem with MW2's perk system was that you had to earn your other perks, not that it was different then normal.

Bring back the cod ghosts perk system. It would work if you get an extra perk point for using less attachment’s in the gunsmith. It would feel nice balance wise. Having boosted gun build means less add one and a bare bones gun means some higher tier perk combos
