i mean even though I think it's one of the worst I do agree with you you can't denie the impact in had on the series along with warzome

[@Noriaela]

I'd argue that's a bad thing. Every since MW19's "success", the franchise has just gotten worse and worse. I'd argue the main reason why people like me actually liked Cold War compared to MW19 is because it actually felt like a Call of Duty, whereas MW19 felt like it was stuck trying to be a realistic shooter and trying to please the original casual crowd. MW19 only succeeded because of Warzone and the Modern Warfare title.

[@FlumaFPS]

i actually really love the piccadilly level in the campaign, with the way its structured it almost gives you a second goal of saving as many civilians as possible and the fact you cant save them all makes you wish you were able to do more which is the same thing gaz feels in the story

[@transmundanemusic]

Piccadilly is an absolutely KILLER map. This community is full of haters who want cheesy, linear, predictable design. I love how Piccadilly, and most maps in this game, force me to consider my movement and positioning instead of just running down one of 3 lanes and shooting the minute I see someone.

[@medicfdumbo]

@@transmundanemusic I like it in the campaign but outside of snd its really just not good. Rewards camping in a building waaaay too much

[@transmundanemusic]

@@medicfdumbo This complaint is overblown imo. Camping has always been a thing in COD; every COD game supports the playing style to an extent. Yes, this game has doors, loud footsteps, bad mini map, but aside from that, it's very easy to counter campers; there are multiple paths of attack in every potential camping area of a map. Anyone who has put real time into playing this multiplayer knows that it's as fast paced as any COD. I run and gun in MW2019 without any issues, I just have to be smarter about HOW I work the map when doing so. The new engine is what the COD franchise needed. Whether or not you enjoy the game is totally subjective, and I respect if it's not for you. But objectively speaking, it's just a really good FPS.

[@Deathmare235]

@@transmundanemusicPiccadilly just sucks as a map it’s not even just campers it’s the way it’s laid out makes it awful

[@JustiXNL]

@@transmundanemusic Agreed on your first comment, I've noticed a lot of today's CoD players seem to prefer three lane maps. During the MW3 beta (on EU) most of the time people would vote for maps like Highrise, Skidrow and Rust. Of these three maps, two are maps that force you down what is effectively three lanes. Skidrow you either take the left/right side or just down the middle (either straight up the middle or camping the 2nd floor hallway from either side) or the right side. And then people would camp the funnels on any side. The same happens mostly on Highrise. Yet maps like Favela and Estate which are more open or in the case of Favela have a lot of verticality barely get voted on.

34:05 It was a Black Op on a foreign soil so they didn't seize control of the area permanently. I guess Alex wanted it destroyed right then and there to make sure nobody could keep the factory going afterwards. But I agree that the whole "imma sacrifice myself fo dis" felt rushed.

[@Vladiator]

He's also WEIRDLY dedicated to Farah's people if you wanna really wanna nitpick the logic. For an operator that has had plenty of tours and most likely dealt with plenty of oppressed people, it's really weird for a hardened operator like that to go that far to blow the factory. From many veteran accounts, they sacrifice themselves for brothers and individuals, not an entire army or idea (save for nationalistic types ofc). Retreat to live to fight another day... But hey, it's just for the writing. But then you think about his "arc", and you realize... He never really had a low point or questioned Farah's resistance and rolled with it throughout. I love this campaign but his character was very bizarre. Garrick was much better here.

MW 2019 and the new MW are a joke, only the graphics and sound was nice. Overall it was just a cashgrab game with cringe skins, even from movies like SAW that dont fit the setting(It's obviously all about the money at this point) and other dirty business practices, like paying money to unlock gore in online mode. Game mechanics was like with every cod, bad weapon damage balance making headshots and superior aim unrewarding and their attempt to add vehicles and copy battlefield was ridiculous. Sliding was bad aswell, should have been called Call Of Sliding instead. Only shallow fanboys would defend this mess. This game would be a lot better already if they would let players create custom skins, like in GTA Online for example or like it was in Advanced Warfare.

[@urik7793]

@@I666I Copying Battlefield, yeah well when BF cannot deliver at least COD is making an attempt. How about at least someone is taking the idea and making it work. BF failed me hard and I've been playing BF games since BF Vietnam (BF2 still my all time favorite). If people never used and capitalized off of other ideas to either revive it or make it better then we'd have no alternatives (Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Coke/Pepsi etc...). Also IW handed off MW 19 as in WZ to Treyarch and Raven/Sledgehammer and today the current WZ is the result of this. MW 19 even when IW still had control of WZ was still mostly tactical in cosmetics and weapons. Its when the other guys took over they made it childish and the skins got ridiculous. While quality of life fixes are definitely a must, MW2 BETA was fantastic and it was just a BETA. I hate the slide canceling exploit and meta weapons. Balance is def a must also I like the idea of creating a character and then using gear/clothing to outfit them, like PUBG.

[@LuvzToLol21]

I've always enjoyed Treyarch's games more than IW's, I like that arcade style more and I love zombies and had a lot of fun with BOCW, but I really didn't enjoy MW19. The campaign felt like a huge out of character tonal shift for COD. If the original MW trilogy were like big summer blockbusters, then MW19 was a sombre arthouse film about 21st century warfare. But it didn't feel as fun or as exciting as campaigns before. I remember the shock and awe of the nuke going off in MW1, how fun and different the AC130 mission was. With MW19 though, it may have felt more grounded but it didn't have any big exciting moments like that and a lot of the game just felt like a chore to get through. It doesn't matter how much story was in the Farah flashback missions in her hometown or in the prison, hiding from a Russian soldier and stabbing him 3 times was boring and the whole time I was wondering "okay so when do I get to shoot people again?" The multiplayer wasn't much better either. Most of the maps are frankly pretty terrible and the gameplay really incentivised camping, and with every single one being set in either Urzikstan, Russia or England they tend to all blend together. Warzone was alright but battle royale is really not my thing. The worst thing is that I'm definitely in the minority here. MW19 is the best selling COD of all time and even I ended up buying it just because a lot of my more casual friends were playing it too. But I feel like people like me who like Black Ops style games and zombies are no longer the target audience for COD. With MWII right around the corner, there's really nothing about that game that appeals to me at all and I have no plans to buy it. MW19 may have saved this series in the short term and created a new model for future COD titles to follow, but it's success came at the cost of alienating long time fans like myself.

I was 22 years old and working in Washington DC when this game came out. It hit chillingly close to home when you play through the ruins of DC to get to the WH. I still remember my initial shock of seeing the carnage.

[@derek2707]

Wow surprisingly based take, I thought you would have trashed the game harder cause I see so many people do so online lol. This game certainly has flaws, but I haven’t enjoyed a cod as much as this one since bo3. My friends and I still come back here and there and MW might be my favorite for search and destroy.

LOVE THE NEW VID CHOPPAAAAA! Keep it up big dog

[@SainiRohan]

Great video. I don’t agree at all. But a great video nonetheless For me, Modern Warfare 2019 is what caused me to stop playing cod until Cold War came out. Since the MW beta, i knew I wasn’t going to have a good time. It felt so rough to me, but I thought I’d still give it a shot. When the final game came out, it was so frustrating to play, that I stopped within the month of release. It left such a sour taste in my mouth that I refused to touch Warzone, and still haven’t touched it much since. But after it’s season was fully over. I tried it again this year, despite the horrible gameplay design decisions still somewhat being present and showing it’s ugly head. It can be fun, this game in my opinion, definitely needed more time in development, even though the development went swimmingly for IW, a lot of the design decisions pulled this game down for everyone. Including me, but fortunately I came back and tried post season, and it sweetened my taste a little.

[@replexity]

not to be a reductionist bastard, but as someone who hasn’t liked a cod since bo2 and then finally felt like they were back on track w mw2019, reading ur post kinda seemed like u were talking in circles a bit without explicitly naming the design decisions u dislike. only thing i can think of is sbmm but that’s every game these days. would u care to be a bit more specific? to clarify, i’m not arguing or calling u stupid or saying u have a shitty opinion but instead just wondering how u think.

[@jetthejudge]

[@jetthejudge]

@@replexity terrible maps with an okay weapon pool (DLC weapons beef it up considerably tho) Terrible Spec Ops Warzone is basically an antithesis of BR and terrible as well And then the campaign is only average due to the story not being as strong as previous games of the series as well as the war crime/patriotism infatuation plaguing the campaign. Some cool missions but not enough to recommend the game as a whole to play it when the only fun aspects are Hardcore Shoot the Ship and a couple missions in the campaign.

[@SainiRohan]

@@replexity Aside from skill based match making being rough, the game in itself felt rough, the maps felt rough, the movement felt rough, the gun/game play mechanics felt rough, and the progression felt rough. It was very obnoxious having to double click tac sprint to even have a reasonable amount of speed to get anywhere, and then having to do that on maps with multiple lines of sight, with poor visibility, no mini-map, and doors. It was horrible. It was a game infested with nothing but camping. And after finishing these dreadful camping matches, to be met with horrible weapon progression going up 70 levels per each gun, it felt very demoralising. To me it felt nothing like what cod should be.

[@robertroznicki7689]

Its a real shame these games got overwhelmed withupdates that made it almost unplayable (if you didnt everyday and did the daily updates) i stopped playing whrn the 70gb updates happened every couple weeks for warzone that were required to play online.

[@thetruth5350]

I like how everything is all together because I love switching between Vanguard MW & Cold War. If you want a slightly different feel but all weapons you play with all do something for warzone. It’s kept me playing cod for 3 straight years non stop. Never did I really hop back to a 2 year old cod to play. They all stayed relevant

[@madladon]

Something that had way more impact than is given credit is Modern Warfare Remastered. It's a fantastic game (later tainted by activision's monetization) that had the heft and grit MW 2019 would go for, while being developed and released along side Infinity Ward's development cycle. During pre-planning and the beginning of full development, I think IW saw the potential of what Raven had shown could be done and ran for it

[@JesseDiebolt]

I stopped playing COD for a few years and missed MW despite being a huge fan of COD4-MW3. I tried out MW2022 beta and loved it so I decided to try out MW over the last week or so…. I LOVE it! I can’t believe I slept on this game. Glad I’m able to get some time with it now before I jump into MW2 in a few weeks.

MW 2019 was the reason I even came back to this franchise. After the many years of futuristic settings and one WW2 game. It was nice to finally go back to the era that made COD popular in the first place. I didn’t bother picking up Cold War or Vanguard and going straight to MW2 instead because that’s the series I enjoy the most.

I stopped playing CoD for some years after MW3 and I remember discovering this game was out. The graphics and killstreaks were amazing and reminded me so much of old MW2 and MW3. I loved it so much and bought it instantly. Decent time to kill, good maps, good guns, fun sniping, fun rushing, good overall gameplay and with Cold War zombies, I was really satisfied with everything. Too bad the SBBM and disbanding lobbies kinda sucked. But again, this CoD was very fun to play. Warzone was incredible as well, I played until the end of it. Now with the new MW2, faster TTK, more camping style and insane SBBM were I can't even find low ping matches even on Warzone, it's just not fun anymore. I hope the new MW3 fix these stuff.

[@YeetThyBaby]

And now look at it haha

[@assaultangel]

I was definitely of the same mindset. I stopped playing cod after mw3 and saw gameplay for mw2019 which I never bought or played but is leading to me to buy mw2. Story telling looks great and gameplay looks great. I love this style of storytelling and the maps in the beta looked like a return to form.

[@MuhammadZhafran]

hot take, i really like the spec ops and survival mode on this game, maybe because i have full squad of friends that i can rely with it is also the best method for leveling gun if you dont want to be smack by SBMM by just playing operation strongbox where you can just spam Thermite to enemies as long as you didn't cut the vault. I did understand if you're a solo player and the game force you to play with 4 randoms people, and they don't know what to do on specific mission, it could be very frustrating. not to mention survival mode being one year exclusivity for playstation is the biggest dumb move they can ever pull on that one

[@zergbong]

Also the impressive graphics that everyone praises doesn’t mean the game is successful. Impressive graphics that people compare it to CW, Vanguard, MWII, MWIII the list goes on and praises MW2019 is better. Highly detailed and beautiful graphics doesn’t mean a game is good. Plus we have other games before MW2019 had beautiful graphics for its time. Ex BO3, RDR2, GTA V the list goes.

[@sarmatiancougar7556]

The only reason all of you praise the ever living F out of this game is because it's very smooth and has awesome graphics. Beside that it's really not a good game at all. The campaign is basically Red Alert 2 in 3D and the multiplayer is crawling with cheaters and tryhards. Once you get used to all the good things in the game it quickly looses the appeal.

[@Jeffardy24]

I enjoyed the game, not as much as other cod games but it was enjoyable. The game was integral in bringing cod to where it is now, and was the start of a new era. I respect it for what it was, even though I prefer Cold War infinitely over the game for this new era. As always, this was an incredible video that you’ve created

[@KiLLaBushWooKiE]

MW 2019 will be known as the biggest clickbait anti cod ever with biggest flop 3rd mode of all time. I've never played a cod mp that felt like it, so slow and designed to not move. It went backwards removing basic features, unfixing things game decade ago fixed, brought no map voting, lobbies disbanding and strict sbmm. Sales mean nothing, what about refunded, sold, hardly played. Games of past were mainly physical copies much harder to know stats. Playerbase deteriated faster than lightning. Even a pandemic couldn't get this mp game popular with active playerbase. Only warzone a f2p mode had to be unleashed to save its embarrassment. Fact 💯

[@theitechlab]

MW 2019 was really an incredible game, though it did make some questionable MP design choices. The story is light years ahead of MWII's story and the revolution it started in the FPS industry is undeniable. Every FPS game TO THIS DAY is compared up against MW 2019 and its level of polish, gunplay, graphics, sound, and overall feel. It set the standard in the industry, and you can really tell the developers put a lot of passion into this product. It showed in everything this game brought to the table and we haven't seen this level in any subsequent COD games. Yeah, COD cycle, blah blah, but I never hated the game during its lifecycle--I always appreciated what it offered despite some of my critiques of the game.

[@unitgamex2972]

[@TheXeroLink]

MW2019 is why I’m playing COD again. Aside from waiting for the game to go on sale, and playing the campaign and hardly touching MP this one got me all the way in. Also wasn’t Broadcast a COD4 map? Plus I’ve never under how someone’s able to jump around a corner and keep their aim dead on to a target. Spec Ops was absurdly difficult at launch…it never did get balanced as well as it should have been. As for the story, seeing as their sales track record and how they’ve created 2 entire universes in the COD space that fell flat, AW, and Ghosts, if I had to guess the reason they did the ending with the TF141 scene was in case it fell flat and didn’t do well they could wrap this up as a prequel to COD4 and move on…now they have had big success with MW2019 they’re doing alt universe stuff. Hopefully MW2022 doesn’t end up retreading the story of MW2 and 3 for the sake of just because

[@angelodistefano6068]

I think CoD should stop coming out with a new game every year at this point. They regained momentum since MW 2019, so I wouldn't want them to jeopardize that by releasing another entry in the series that no one cares about, because it will happen at some point. They already proved they can transcend between different modes and have them last throughout multiple years (Warzone, DMZ, Zombies). Regular multiplayer is...honestly outdated compared to what online games offer nowadays, and their story has already emotionally pulled people in to the CoD world. I know they do it because people still buy enough to keep selling, but I fear it could become their demise again.
