What I like most about the older CoDs is that they always tried to show different locations and theatres in the war throughout the games. 1 had D Day airborne invasions, behind enemy lines stuff, touched on the battle of the bulge, Stalingrad, Poland, Berlin. United Offensive expanded upon Bulge, and did Sicily, and Kharkov. CoD 2 did D Day sea invasion and North African campaign. WaW did the pacific theatre. While CoD was having yearly releases, these helped make the games feel unique and fun.

[@TacticalBaguette]

The PS2 COD 2 spinoff, Big Red One, is one of the few WWII games where you fight the Vichy French, which is a faction I hardly see talked about during WWII discussion in general, much less in games

[@sir11144]

the COD2 also featured the battle of the hill 400 and the crossing of the rhine

[@TacticalBaguette]

​@iam4026see my above comment, I believe you also fight the Italians at some point in the campaign too.

[@weleskosmaty3189]

Maybe they tried, but after a years it's still France 1944 or Stalingrad over and over. First CoD indeed included map that claimed to be Warsaw but there was NOTHING Polish about it. Just a dull map with Russians vs Germans. Not even a slight context in briefing. In WW2 there was around 70 countries involved. Yet we see only US/UK/USSR (of which the soviets were the same evil as Germany back then - somehow the CoD does not even mention that). Where are Hungarians, Romanians, Estonians or Finnish fighting against Russia? Where are French, Polish, Norwegians, Greeks, Yugoslavians and other nations in Europe? Where are Anzac and Canadians in western front? Where is Burma, China and Indonesia on far east? Where is Ethiopia and other African countries involved? Nowhere in AAA games because that does not sell.

What I love about the COD games prior to MWII was that the intention was to give you a vague idea about what it might have been like to be a grunt on the front lines rather than a power fantasy that tries to make you feel like a super soldier.

[@pmchad]

i feel like cod games need to go back to that idea of the protagonist or side protagonist just being an average soldier on the front lines

[@siegfried2k4]

Well, not precisely... past CoD protagonists are still far from the average grunt. Miller in WaW was a Marine raider, and Dimitri survived Stalingrad. Though I get what you mean. Fighting as part of one army instead of behind the lines where you kill everything on your path

[@pmchad]

@@siegfried2k4 yeah, I think that the special team of badasses protagonist is good, I just think that it should also have a side story where you're just one of a million other soldiers.

I spent a lot of my childhood playing UO and wanted to note that the multiplayer incorporated a lot of the singleplayer maps. To get around the vastness of the maps like Foy and Kursk, vehicles were introduced for the first time in COD. Jeeps, tanks, and heavy tanks helped make the big maps feel small, honestly a perfect balance.

[@Endru85x]

While amount of enemies could be absurd at times, UO did not tire me with BS missions like half of british campaign in first Cod, which gave my MoH vibes- a single guy fight tons of germans in the dam, or on Tirpitz ship, which if i remember correctly was destroyed by bombing. Also russian army was shown as actual army not a bunch of zergs rushing at enemy positions.

[@redsgrave2003]

@@Endru85x My thoughts exactly. Not to mention the Soviet campaign in 1 had levels that gave the British ones a run for its money. After the excellent set piece at Red Square, you're on your own for the latter half of that level and two more, a level in the Stalingrad Sewers and one of the Warsaw levels that had you mostly on your own. The American campaign had its share of espionage levels but they never had you completely alone which is why I have to rank it as my overall favorite campaign of that game. It never reaches the highs of the Soviet campaign but it also never reaches the lows either.

@@Endru85x I think the problem whit enemy of the gate was it was a movie that took place over (historically several year) but in the movie got compressed down to a few weeks same whit the U-boat movie the U-boat does one trip a few month during that time the outlook of the war went from early 1939 where they was almost undisturbed sinking allied ships left and right till the war changed (reality several years in movie about 1 month and 1 deployment). and from what I understand in the early days of the war between Soviet and germany Soviet did have some serius logistic problem. not enouth gun and ammo (was it because the supplies was just not near the front in the hand of the soldier or just did not exist I don´t know) but this is not a problem throughout the whole war just the start and by the time of the stalingrad it was fixed (the problem whit enemy at the gate was that they put the timeline of that movie to late had they called it [city closer to the german border] and put it in the early part of the war when Soviet was still putting securing there pants after getting caught whit them down) the film would been a lot more logical.

I regularly replay the CoD 1, UO, and CoD 2 campaigns because, despite being dated in some ways, they still hold up so well imo. I wish the series hadn't achieved so much mainstream success with CoD 4 because I think that was the beginning of the series' decline, as great as that game was. The originals did such a great job of mission design, gunplay, and being pretty historically accurate. That fucking bridge in UO though, man.

[@Mirokuofnite]

Agree. Hell when CoD: MW (the original) was in the preview phase they had a bunch of contest on their website and I ended up winning some patches, a hat, a water bottle, and some other trinkets. Nowadays I wouldn't have a chance to win anything due to millions of people entering.

[@Akiva_Merkava]

The older CoD games were still mainstream but you are right that the franchise changed for the worse when they started developing for consoles. Infinity Ward also split up after Modern Warfare 2 (which I thought was mediocre compared to original Modern Warfare).

The first COD (the one United Offensive was an expansion for) is also an absolute banger (and kinda deserves its own video)

[@ApocDevTeam]

Feel like an old man watching this like it's some ancient piece of gaming history, but it still feels like yesterday. I still got all the developer tools, decompiled maps and engine/tool documentations on how to build and script your own levels and what not. Still have many custom missions and maps people uploaded back then, which are impossible to find these days. The original sites are all long dead. Got one made by guys who had grandparents who fought in WWII, they'd build missions for the game about where those people fought. They had their own clan/website and everything. Back then Infinity Ward and other devs would hang around on modding forums sharing decompiled files for people to study, and even hiring people there who made great maps. Feels surreal to boot up some random custom map made by some guy 20 years ago, something you can't even get anywhere anymore.

Also, the nice thing about it was you could play those way earlier titles because the ps2 was still around in the early 2000's which was the time I was born. So, I got to enjoy both of best generations. That being I was able to play old games from the 90's like resident evil and still play 2000's games growing up in said 2000's.

[@MetalheadMitch762]

I was a modder for CoD1 and UO back in the day. The damage system between CoD1 and UO is slightly different with the UO damage system adding damage over range. Also weapon damages were slightly adjusted for the new system as well. CoD UO had an MP Bots mod and if your weapon file had only the CoD1 damage type, it would do no damage to the bots. My CoD modding name was angrypreacher and I generally uploaded to file front until that site went down. I did laugh when you said that Genshin Impact players don't know what an expansion pack was since I play Genshin Impact myself.

This video took me back to easily one of my favourite CoD's. I remember finding this in a bargain bin of a local discount store in 2007. The RAF mission in the B-17 was, and still is in my eyes, one of the best missions in the franchise and I was so happy when they did something similar in WaW. However, what has always bothered me about this game is that diary at the start of the level with the Dutch resistance mentions that you dropped somewhere in Holland. But the level takes place in a mountainous area which do not exist within the entirety of the Dutch mainland. Anyway, guess I'll go replay the old CoD's again....

[@nicksignore8301]

Big Red One was amazing. I'll never forget how funny the ragdoll physics were.

I played it a lot as a kid and always enjoyed United Offensive more than the original CoD campaign for some reason. The Guns of Navarone was one of my favourite war movies back then so the Sicily mission I thought was the greatest thing ever!

[@nebiyuesayas5600]

This is just as well-made as the CoD II video, and I loved it!

Also, have you done a video on the original CoD 1? You've mentioned it in both this and the CoD II vid, and it seems pretty important in regards to story and background (and probably will be since I know for a fact Doyle is in CoD III), but I don't know that you've done a video on CoD 1.

It is literally the one of the first Call of Duty I played.

As for rankings in my opinion the best CoD games are these: 1)Call of Duty World at War 2)Call of Duty Black Ops 3)Call of Duty 2 4)Call of Duty 1/United Offensive Then there is huge gap between those and Modern warfare series, after which other parts go.

Pls do a review of cod 1 too. I agree with your points, but I have to say the last mission is pretty hard. Gotta give you a point for how difficult the Foy-bridge is. Pro-tip: rush the bridge when Foley starts commanding you on taking out the Tiger. By the time the entities spawn in you have the panzerfaust in your hands. Also, the soundtrack is the same from cod 1, which is not a negative point because it is so good. I feel the american and russian campaign really catch the scale of the combat well, which other WW2 call of duty’s except 1,2 and maybe WAW, failed to. The British side is well placed within that, slower-paced and more unique. Finally, it’s multiplayer has a unique mode with bunkers and a ranking system within 1 match. Really fun, back in the old days when it was all so simple but beautiful…

You sir are a legend! Your tastes are excellent, music and games alike! I remember when I was little i was scared shitless of the B-17 mission. It was unimaginably hard and scary and I felt so bad for my fellow dying gunners so I always called my older brother to play it for me. Good times, keep up the great work, I watch these like 30 times in a row, they're so good! Peace✌️

I grew up on UO. Spent many of my teen years playing rifles only servers til 3-4 am every night. Absolute gem of a game that I want to see make a comeback.

[@ГригорийБуров-м1ъ]

What really surprised me afterward, is that the expansion was developed by "grey matter studio" the creators of return to castle wolfenstein, which explained me why it was so awesome. I also liked b17 mission back in a day. Not much chances that its the game's merit(the formula is too simple) but it seems that after that there were several attempts to replicate b17 gunner experience on handhelds, i mean there was downgraded clone mission on psp call of duty, there was standalone b17 gunner game on nintendo DS, another one for early ios era, and several more poorly made on unity for modern app store and play market, their quality speaks for themselves.

And If i'm not wrong about It, I guess that United Offensive was the first CoD to introduce sort of point streak rewards in multiplayer, allowing the player to have satchel charges and call in artillery barrages.

Elmo sanchez never stop reliving your childhood with me

[@elmosanchez]

never leave 🌹

[@serdomin]

His childhood was only 10 years ago

[@DolphinsAreWeird]

Your experience with Foy triggers my PTSD from my experience on the Foy map in Hell Let Loose. The horrors of clearing a point full of trenches with an enemy player scurrying around hunting you as well.

[@halolime117]

I’ve played UO so much that when cod 4 came out I was disgusted 😂 UO is a masterpiece along its multiplayer, great times

[@saint4life09]

It seems very weird that the RAF in this game use B17s when they were only ever used in limited numbers. Always annoys me how Americo-centric these games are even when playing other nations. Could've easily been a Lancaster and showcased an actual British aircraft.

6:00 something really cool about this intro is that you drive through later levels. Also you spoke about damage in uo being different at about 7:30, and you're right. This was the first CoD game where damage was calculated not only by the gun but also over range. It's difficult to overstate how revolutionary this game was compared to the original. Sprinting, cooking grenades, vehicles, deployable mgs, huge maps, base assault (my beloved). Of course CoD was a labor of love then, so it wasn't good enough to just patch the game. 'Nah, lets build a campaign, release new maps to compliment vehicles, touch up a few already in the game, new soundtrack, new voices (correct me if i'm wrong but im pretty sure shouting quick chat was new here too). My dad bought it for $80 which might have been a lot of 2004 money, but man I easily have thousands of hours in UO from when I was a kid to picking it up occasionally as my comfort game today.

[@Nikttaki888]

God damn, i remember playing cod WaW on some custom zombie maps with my friend til 5am just to hit as much rounds as we could. Gold times

[@toothpick8858]

rifle only on harbor in the OG COD games was peak gaming. i can still hear the ambiance of machine gun`s arty and mortars from these games.

[@Negativitie]

What about Finest Hour? That one was by far my favorite CoD. The missions, the music, the graphics even (for the time on PS2) were all amazing.

[@elmosanchez]

Never tried it. I prolly should tho

[@Negativitie]

@@elmosanchez Would love to see your video on it!

[@Peaks209]

@@elmosanchezIt has tank missions where you can use the MG along with raiding an airfield in one.

[@DippKlippGuy]

@@Peaks209 There is one tank segment where you have to shoot down stukas, so that's something, on the other hand it's got six playable characters

[@queuedjar4578]

Finest hour is okay compared to the PC port. Probably the most clunky COD title and a lot of its cinematic execution past the first few levels falls flat. Some very questionable design decisions with difficulty spikes as well, such as one of the first British missions decided to spawn you across from two whole MG nests and tens of soldiers coming over a wall at you and expecting you to run across open ground in front of all that to proceed the level. It had growing pains being the first COD on console, and I'm speaking as someone who played at launch.

[@LessThanProfessionalGaming]

I played this with my grandpa when it first came out and this is the first time I have thought about it in a long time. Great game. Great video.

[@rolfstuh]

Im so happy that i am old enough to played the OG Call of dutys .

[@fartoplata308]

Multiplayer for this game was god tier. Multiplayer base fizzled out quick, but it was fun AF with the vehicles and big battlemodes.

[@bbiscuit3000]

I played this. The OG Call Of Duty was my first COD. My dad owned it and the dlc

[@nchamp1991]

One of the first expansion packs I ever bought for a game.

[@w0lf667]

Not sure if someone told yet but Private Martin is there as an easter egg after meeting Foley. He's near a foxhole wounded and being dragged by another soldier. He's also the only other Private wearing the same coat as Captain Foley

[@GentleGiant-tt2uu]

I remember playing multiplayer of United offensive with father. That was unique experience for a cod, because you can drive tank, and maps where quite big.

[@TeurastajaNexus]

United Offensive was my first CoD and the original Call of Duty came second. Still the best.

[@1nemann]

This expansion was one of my favorite WW2 games ever. The campaign, the multiplayer, everything was just excellent.

[@FilkinsRave]

I miss playing on the BAD server so much, I think about it constantly and can still visualize almost evrry map we played.

[@Wubb333]

I was literally thinking of that B-17 scene from 'Heavy Metal' and then you showed the clip lol
