[@famalam943]

15:00 myth busters covered underwater shooting as well. Full powered rifle bullets tended to do worse in water as the higher amount of energy created more friction & caused the bullet to pretty much dissolve a few inches into the water. Pistol caliber tended to do ‘better’ due to lower power, meaning lower resistance/friction in the water but still didn’t get very far at all.

[@jonathanferguson1211]

Yes, I mentioned MB in the recording session. Guessing it was cut for time. I remember their water rig bursting at one point :D

[@cdburner5911]

I believe its more about the velocity and the change in density from air to water than the energy specifically. Well, also the structure/strength of the bullet, cross sectional area, coefficient of drag, and so on. I think though, it boils down to, when entering the water, the faster the bullet, the more force is exerted on it, and at some point, the force is more than the bullet can handle and it will cause the bullet to break up. Also, rifle bullets are much longer than they are wide, so when they tumble, their surface area goes up substantially, where pistol bullets are usually more or less similar in diameter/length.

I like what they tried to do in this game with the platforms, and that you can unlock attachments and challenges for other guns in the same platform without having to use them all. However with all the fake weapon names in this game, it's driving me nuts when I unlock something mid match and I don't even know what weapon it's for because it's some fake name. Usually there's always a few fake names in cod, but I can get used to that. Like the stakeout, or the Oden. It's not just "Lachman sub", it's actually names that are easy to remember and fit the gun, and they stood out more because 90% of the weapons were named, like the AK 47 or the mp5. It was just much easier to keep track of. In mw2 it's the other way around, there's a handful of guns with real names like the m4, then all kinds of fake names that sound like dev name tags tbh and not good weapon names, makes it too confusing.

The guns being mostly redesigned variants of existing ones was deliberate. Both for legal and marketing reasons, they changed the lore and established their own in-universe weapons manufacturers so they could give a spin to the weapons while still using the main design characteristics.

[@dragonbornexpress5650]

I think the main problem with the fictional manufacturers is this: They lack any real...presence in-universe. What I mean by that is they are really only referenced in text and have their logos shown on their products, but they lack a physical presence in the game world. It'd be like if Blume in Watch Dogs 1 was purely only a presence through CTOS, or if Nudle in Watch Dogs 2 only made a presence through Nudle Maps/their cars; They'd lack any actual presence in the universe they reside in. (Doubly so for Nudle since they were deliberately meant to be a parallel universe version of Google right down to the exact same headquarters building.) I'm not saying that the fictional manufacturers in Modern Warfare 22 need to have physical headquarters that we can visit; What I AM saying is they need more of a physical presence you can actually see and hear in-game: Commercial billboards, hiring advertisements, corporate memos, maybe an address for one of their regional factories on a computer, stuff like that. Give them more of a tangible presence, or maybe create some intriguing story ala Hannibal Weapons Systems from HALO so they feel like tangible entities that you can genuinely see as being a thing in-universe rather than just a simple way to avoid licensing. Imagine seeing an ad for Tactique Verte where the company spokesman talks about the manufacturer's founding before World War I playing it up like it was some kind of grand adventure for the company's founders, and then later tries to hide how their main factory in Belgium was taken by German soldiers during World War II in order to seemingly avoid embarrassment; Wouldn't something like THAT add so much more presence and character to the company in-universe? Imagine something similar for Lachmann Meer, but THEIR ad doesn't hide how their founders used to be employees for Mauser and Rheinmetall during World War II even though they are clearly ashamed of such a fact; I'm sure you can already feel the impact from such a concept. It helps that both of these ideas not only tie into real world history, companies, and locations, but sort of parallels the backstories of real world H&K as well as FN Herstal, especially with the latter when comparing FN Herstal to Tactique Verte.

The one problem I had with the rifle-to-pistol transition is exactly as Mr. Ferguson pointed out. When hitting the reload button the game slings the rifle and reloads the pistol. In my opinion, when reloading the game should holster the pistol and reload the rifle, automatically switching the player back to the rifle. That way this pistol swap option not only offers a unique playstyle that is different from the traditional method, but also uses the technique as intended.

Cool vid! Looking forward to getting this game. Cool shirt too 🤘

He needs to do one of these where he’s reacting to those videos where people reload random objects.

[@Seyomint]

As far as I’m aware, the mobile version of Warface actually had the emergency pistol switch in their game. If your current magazine ran dry and either you’re still targeting an enemy or had your finger on the firing button still, the player would automatically pull out their side arm to continue firing on what ever it is they’re trying to defend against. Warface Mobile, if it wasn’t clear already, did come out before this MWII

Hey Jonathan, always love your content. Keep up the good work! Hope to visit your museum one day.

[@miguellee3]

Yes!! I’ve been waiting for this ❤

[@RemoCODclips]

Please do another video on MW2. Show the weapon trees in multiplayer. Would be nice to know if the weapon “families” are actually correct. Like the M4 platform, AK platform, Aug platform etc.

[@echoarchive2024]

I am very confused on Call of Duty's naming scheme now, is this game related to the 2009 MW2?

[@Ventus7777]

It's a reboot of the series

[@walterwhite8563]

MW 2019 was a reboot of Cod 4, this is a sequel to MW 2019

[@BourbonBandit-]

This game has nothing to do with the original 2009 mw2

[@TheFacelessStoryMaker]

No it's a sequel to 2019 Modern Warfare which is a reboot of the Modern Warfare trilogy. It has the characters but also new characters and story compared to the OG MW2.

I am pleased to see the Ghost merch shirt. Didn't realize Johnathan was a fan. Also love the series!

[@PeterGKO]

The fact that most of these weapons are off proportionally to some degree, makes me think it's an 'Activision thing' going "hey make them close enough that your average gamer will recognize them, but different enough that we can call them something else and not have to pay for licensing, it'll save us so much money". That Vector is so jank

[@senorquack5182]

Gun companies don't want their stuff represented by games too much anymore. CoD is going the GTA approach now, making slight differences and name changes so that the weapons are still recognizable, but are allowed to be in the game.

@@senorquack5182 yeah like cars company's doesn't want their cars in games anymore

[@senorquack5182]

@@walterwhite4398 I said guns didn't want that to happen. I related it to GTA just naming it different stuff, not that they didn't want the cars represented.

Jonathan wearing a Ghost shirt makes me love this guy even more.

[@cdburner5911]

Aww, I am sad he missed a really easy one. The default LMG you get (I don't recall the name atm) will, when you reach the last few rounds, show the proper amount of bullets on the belt, but there is still all the links shown, making a ghost belt of disintegrating links, but with no bullets.

[@neXib]

Names and minor changes are due to licensing and not paying for weapon likeness I'm pretty sure. For MW2019 Kriss even said it would be no problem to license Vector. But the problem is money, and I don't think they want to directly support gun manufacturers either.

[@gwoody4003]

I love this series. Have you done a video on Metro Exodus and their wacky weapon systems? The upgrade/customization systems are worth discussing, and there's a lot of instances of "well that wouldn't work but whatever, its a video game" and some unique cobble jobs.

[@Mikebumpful]

He has a video on the Metro series!

Thanks Jonathan!

[@user-dr1pv7sg7l]

Correction:I have to say that the modern AK in the video was NOT AK203 but a crown AK103.The piccatiny rail was added on the dust cover directly. That was totally wrong.AK 203 is like saiga 9.The dust cover with rail should be locked or it will shake terribly.

[@BloodDjimon614]

"Swan around" is my new favorite thing

[@CDCI3]

11:39 I think Jonathan meant the dovetail mount side rail (above the trigger) rather than the handguard side rail that is highlighted.

[@KevTheGalaxybender]

the pistol draw on empty rifle mag I thought was a bug when it first happens. It's cool.
