Black Ops Cold War is FREE and Better than Ever!

[@Just_a_commenter]

CW wasn't my jam, but it was nice to hear Handler being genuinely happy to be playing. Could hear that smile at 6:50 c: Keep smiling out there, folks! *And drink water.* It's good for ye.

[@henrynguyen8916]

9:08 actual human beings that know when they r out skilled instead of the hackusations is just a breathe fresh air for me. Also the way the guy said handler is good in his accent is very wholesome sounding😊

[@villainous69]

bc this took the most skill between Cold War and mw2019

[@VioIetteMolotov]

Sounds like you take it personal when someone calls out your cheats.

[@mrandersen6872]

I'm so excited to see you go back to this game, one of the most underrated cods in recent years.

[@DeLexified]

I'd say it wasn't underrated, just I feel like it was just a game that came out in a weird time considering how big Modern Warfare 2019 and Warzone 1 were doing.

[@residentpizza5711]

wasnt underated but did have a lot better mechanics

[@dtheguy]

Man na it was hella hyped In launch, I was hooked and played the campaign twice , I really should hop back in and go crazy on the console guys

[@whoslistening]

I don't think you understand what underrated means.

Day 21 of asking Handler to do throwing knife only challenge.

[@TheBatoDoctor]

Seconded

[@maybeme5617]

He did throwing star only (kinda)

[@reeferbubba]

respectfully, leave it to sire slayed

[@aeroxylo]

You must not know Handler used to knife his ass off back in the day. I’m sure he’s still got it

[@youngnat]

@@aeroxyloI think that’s why they asked

[@YEETSTER23]

I absolutely loved this game. the campaign and zombies were top tier and the multiplayer was pretty fun too (except for snipers)

[@jeremiahjimenez3299]

The maps for zombies were terrible. Enjoyable zombies mode but the maps were not it.

[@night5738]

@@jeremiahjimenez3299I thought the maps brought back the old round based feeling while still giving the option for the EE but not jamming it down your throat, If you want you’re totally free to just blast through rounds while continuing to buff your guns, I think they just needed more maps, but they gave up on the game way too fast

[@kingiument4627]

Lol youre tripping if you think anything about this game was good

[@jeremiahjimenez3299]

@@kingiument4627 I enjoy the multiplayer a bit. Zombies I only like the first two maps. I actually liked black ops 4 better than Cold War.

[@kingiument4627]

[@6abe_]

Been loving the content lately keep it up ❤

[@brutace9219]

You should try the ppsh task force barrel. Was super underrated cause many people couldn't control it, but if you can handle some recoil it's insane.

[@beancheesedip8337]

I actually enjoyed this game more than MW19. Might be a hot take, but I really enjoyed the arcade-y vibes to the gameplay and the clean visuals.

[@villainous69]

It was just fun. Yea sometimes the sbmm sucked but for the most part it was the most black ops game we could ask for

[@phr3ui559]

yea

[@unoriginalname771]

It definitely looks sharper than MW2 to me

[@akpil5230]

I loved it, honestly. Great campaign, fun multiplayer, zombies that focused on gameplay over plot/easter eggs (at least in Outbreak). My only real complaint is performance on PC was a little iffy, I'd get occasional stutters and lag spikes.

[@ghozt-6708]

Isnt a hot take. This game is way way way better than MW2019. No Dead Silence as a perk? 😅

[@Frommelt17]

Cold War is so slept on, doesn't deserve the hate it gets

[@reginaldthomas1917]

Tbt personally the SBMM wasn't nowhere strict as it was compared to mw2019 and mw2. Having the ninja perk being able to move around freely was a plus as well. Might just hop back on after seeing this

[@findgod...]

and the best part... actual good maps, ttk, movement better than mw imo, map voting

[@CSPA1993]

If this game got the extra year development instead of being brought out early it would have been one of the best Call of Duty’s ever.

[@jeronemoG]

havent played any other cod since bop2 now im back on og mw2 lool the nostalgia is real , great video my dude!

[@GUFIO99]

This game was solid, it’s just the damn ssbm :/ Some of the most satisfying kills in cod history for me. Seeing that red bar tik down is so addicting. Also loved the ak47 and the snipers were a great time.

[@findgod...]

classic streaks, no sbmm would make it close to bo3 level imo

[@Lexo..]

Now this is some real cod. It's a refreshing change of pace from mw2 (2022)

[@Deiv.]

same cycle every year

[@baggedmilk_]

that guy at 7:30 had me crying, the awkward transition from that

[@InTheMistByTheHills]

Cold War was so good, very underrated. It'll hold a special place in history as it's going to sadly be the last COD made with the old engine.

[@Sunwreath]

5:07 The fact that handler and his friends convinced themselves this wasn't a good game when it was thriving was absolutely saddening. The biggest surprise was Slayed, this game was perfect for someone like him.

[@TyranniRed]

2019 S&D being good played a part too

[@grovedubz]

i wanna hear the old Handler ending again someday. you know, the “ooOooh … ooOooh”

[@KevinMcAssaler]

I'm an old school MW2 and MW3 fanboy. I also played a lot of Black Ops 1 and 2. Cold War was the first COD in a while that I actually liked. Idk why it got hate. The maps are fun and interesting. Everything including the maps, guns and movement feels like an arcade shooter like how COD is supposed to be. It felt like an actual new addition to COD. the new MW and MW2 are complete messes. You can't tell whether it's supposed to be an arcade shooter or semi-realistic. The snipers barely have bullet drop while an AR can make you feel like Michael J Fox. Half of the maps in the new MW2 are horrible but at least they don't feel like they're trying to be hyper-realistic like MW 2019, which also has horrible maps.

[@JottaaHD]

I’m the same! Played in the golden age of COD and Cold War was the most recent cod I got into

[@zombieblaster5754]

I hate it for the movement mostly and the UI to make it easier for noobs like health bars. the movement after mw19 felt extremely clunky.

[@EliteBurrit00]

cold war just has remade maps. Felt nothing like the old cods, streaks not resetting when you die was a stupid decision to put in the game.

[@JottaaHD]

@@zombieblaster5754 I agree with the health bars As for the movement I like it, honestly I hate the tactical sprint that MW19 introduced… I feel it made that game and the ones that used it as well, too fast paced. I think it should be something only available in warzone because of the bigger map.

[@KevinMcAssaler]

@@zombieblaster5754 I see why people prefer the movement in MW2019 but I felt like it was too loose. Honestly I prefer the movement in the new MW2 even though sometimes it fails you and you die for it. The health bars were weird but they leaned more in the arena style shooter direction and I think overall it worked. The new MWs lean more into the realistic direction and I just don't think most of the maps and gameplay support it. Overall I think it's kind of a mess. You never know when you're gonna get one shot by a shotgun from long range or get a hitmarker with a sniper from up close. Some guns don't feel realistic with recoil and then guns like the M4 have realistic kick

[@rileyknowles8126]

The CARV2 burst rifle with the StreetSweeper secondary will have you covered for long and short range shenanigans

[@WeShallC]

I love hitting a feed and hearing the clanging of medals afterwards.

[@SullySadface]

I remember playing the Cold War Beta and thinking that gunfights felt a lot tighter than MW19 did.

[@mangosfx]

Honestly, considering Black Ops 2 was one of my favorite and most nostalgic CODs, I feel that I would have enjoyed this game a lot more if it was just a bit more polished/less frustrating and if MW2019 hadn’t totally overshadowed this in my eyes. Love the gameplay as usual!

[@unoriginalname771]

You know what, I’m just gunna say it. I liked Cold War more than MW2

[@cheroishere]

bro seeing gameplay of CW in 2023!? really miss this game, had so much fun.

I just redownloaded this on pc for the first time and was upset I couldn’t find a game like I used to on PlayStation. Glad people are coming back

[@ItchVal]

i just love the hitscan abitity in this game bring so much nostalgia to it

[@labombaromba]

Some of the regular weapons were also pretty insane in this game, not just the snipers. Burst rifles were OP for a chunk of the games life. I think some of the pistols still are too.

[@ANTI0707]

Always had a bad time with cold war, this did tempt me to go back but I remember how bad of a time I had with that game

Fun fact, the snub nose on the magnums does more damage

I absolutely loved cold war so I'm gonna download it again since there's gonna be plenty of new players to do zombies and multiplayer with

[@treesapp22]

To be fair on the comment of snipers being banned from comp, it was solely due to the lack of flinch. Once they added flinch, snipers pretty much get outclassed across the board IMO.

[@wormyblackburny5528]

Mainly played this game for zombies, but i thought the multiplayer was more tolerable than mw2019 and has good and bad moments some matches. Campaign was also pretty good too. Honestly watching you Handler is always enjoyable. I remember watching your stuff back in mw2019, but for some reason never subbed to you. You just always popped up in my feed and i would watch some of your stuff occasionally. Very unique and calm person to watch. Thank you 👍 (btw been subbed for a year and a half now so yes ive been subbed to you for awhile lol)

[@voiddistortion7937]

“Better than ever” *exactly the same game as it was years ago*

[@risingwind8943]

The hacking was insane when this came out. Every other match 1 or two guys that could only be killed by stacking C4 a bunch. It got a bit better after a few weeks, (I played for about two months) but I do think this game in particular struggled with hackers.

[@MurchKnives]

Cold War really was a top tier game tbh

[@lionheart4109]

ma boi yessir, love the calmness as always

[@TreyDongzz]

I think the only annoying part was the SBMM they used every few games. You’d dominate and feel good for a few games, then you’d get shut down bad for a streak

[@bigtexasgaming]

Cold War had the most SBMM of any recent game during its lifecycle. If you popped off in search, it would actually re-adjust the lobby during the match when people backed out.

Also, the game is actually being updated and the developers actually listen. Really it’s the only thing holding me over till xdefiant.

Campaign and zombies was straight doodoo but the MP was fun, the thing that really killed this game for me was the SBMM being worse than it was in MW19 I mean SBMM overall was annoying as hell but how does it get worse

[@artelidiot]

After experiencing the travesty that is MWII, it dawned on me that I was way too harsh on this game when it came out. It's actually quite solid if you're looking for a more traditional CoD experience.

[@BrickedUpp]

Not a huge fan of the multiplayer but I did love the zombies outbreak mode

[@grand_nic7686]
