It will never be the same

[@xCoyfish]

I grew up during the golden era of COD. I cannot explain to you how awesome it was playing MW2, BO1, MW3, and BO2 all on release. I have been chasing that same feeling for so long, because it felt organic and fun. I played for ten, twelve hours a day at times and I miss it greatly. Grinding for prestige and camos, the late night lobbies, zombies easter eggs. We had it so good back then.

[@Mardark-e4s]

And then they added complexity to a game that didn't need any and ruined all of it. Eomm is the perfect example, matchmaking used to just be relative to your ping and that was it. That's why the lobbies stayed together, I remember having to quit out and join a different lobby because my team was bad. That feeling is now gone.

[@OhImSaucy]

@@Mardark-e4s there was some matchmaking but it would just try to put you with people around your level, thats why whenever you would prestige you would see low levels and lobbies would be easier, but there was never bs like tracking how you move or other things.

[@lazcoroner1483]

We are all chasing the dragon brother.

[@Gforce1313]

Same except started at cod2 and found that feeling during OG COD4. I think bo2/mw2 was last time I felt that feeling. Even the first mw3 didnt do it for me.

[@quigongio5584]

I didn't experience mw2 but everything after yes

[@theDegausser]

Jev damn near giving us a full on existential crisis in this one 😭 much love Jev, thanks for all the great content

[@iamshane1x]

As a music engineer, hearing something musically jev has been apart of is a must.

[@WalebCaleb]

been a long time jev fan, even played with him on bo2 a bit and he used to have screamo tutorials on the channel. good times and he sounded great!

[@HiddenHunterSeven]

Jev is one of the few big KZbinrs I can happily watch. There are so many big KZbinrs that I hate. Their fake, over the top personality, their awareness of their viewers low attentionspan and their catering to that shit. Jev just feels so genuine and organic. Just a dude playing games and talking. The type of feeling you would get with a random guy you meet at 3am in a 2009 MW2 lobby. Love this dude!

[@nasteagaming]

Jev still having a voice after a rage moment makes so much sense now

[@slim1288]

WE LOVE YOU JEV glad your Christmas was good

[@yuni7131]

Been watching you since bo2 days. Since i was a kid, your videos would always be something to look forward to regardless of how my day is going. Thank you Jev. Thank you for continuing to make my day . Thank you for existing. Keep your self healthy and safe in this coming year, wish you the best jason!

[@Raendomyzed]

I'm always so impressed at how well-spoken Jev is. My man casually peppers in thoughtbombs every other video that really open our eyes to things. Been watching for more than 10 years, keep it up!

[@DirtRipperDaniels]

Jev never fails to give me a special feeling inside

Jev: Where are the christmas noobs?? Also Jev: *queues up hardcore playlist*

[@irs_115]

SBMM is the reason y u dont see them and plus its whole ass $70 dlc with recycled content

Hardcore playlist has all the sweats 😂

[@donkey9113]

75% of my deaths in shipment are me spawning right into a precision sight from an enemy or in front of a remote turret How can anyone at sledgehammer be like yup that looks like fun

[@AnonymousAccount-ju9vc]

To get placed with noobs you need to have like 4/5 games where you go negative . (9 kills 77 deaths) shipmas!!

[@xrayz9612]

I feel like COD dying would be the greatest blessing to this franchise getting there shit together

[@Dubzyy]

jev fr just a philosopher who plays cod

[@Soccercam69]

its crazy how the way jev explains how matchmaking and how the game is its so much more clear then anyone else even when hes jus yelling at the camera much love jev

[@ScubaPurpp]

I wanna hear harsh vocals from Jev 😭🔥

[@branchoffbush3838]

3:37 Jev, thank you. You actually understand the mm system. If you need people to have a one stop shop to that type of detailed information I have it in a playlist on my channel named: The Declaration of War On Modern Matchmaking

[@suna9555]

9:08 this part truly hit the feels bro it’s sad cod evolved backwards like this 😢😢😢 ofc the games look better and should feel better but hearing this bummed me out, we’re used to it by now but hearing it from veterans and true experienced players that have played for years and years hurts man because we know it to be true and ofc we can leave the game and voice our opinions but I doubt anything super noticeable will happen it’s sad bro 😞😞😞

[@harrisongray9172]

Can’t go wrong with a jev video, always hits the spot ❤

[@jayvencano4295]

Thank you for the years of content. I started watching you around 2014 around this time, hope the holidays treat you well Jev!

[@TFCTech]

The cod community needs to come together and buy a Times Square add that says “REMOVE SBMM IN COD”

[@Prizm17]

When jev uploads I get hyped in a way I can’t explain, feels like 2016 mwr again god that was a good year

[@BigMW2Fan]

i love this mans commentary… never stop.

[@2hrspride]

Jev Never Fails To Deliver Greatness TBH We love Jev!

[@oxslide4734]

Always have loved him

[@erikhoffman4653]

0:11 he left the game because his team was “getting annihilated” the score was literally 12-17

[@mondclient]

Thank you for understanding. You as the COD content creator we all know and love personally clarifying it just feels amazing.

[@HankG51]

You just had to be there to experience the golden age of COD

[@Olddirtytiger]

Hope u had a great Christmas everybody, in Jev we trust 😁

[@itsrard7333]

He always find a way to speak exactly what I been telling my friends bout how to tune the matching making and the nostalgia of the game isn’t the same nomore

[@LeroyTDF]

The enthusiasm and energy you bring to your content is infectious

[@exotic2r4re]

Have a good new year

[@jordan0183]

jev had a lot to say in this one lmaooo boy was venting

[@M1T0K1D]

6:28 I got a ps4 in 2019 when I was 15, ik it was late but it was my first console and it was my last gift from my grandpa and it literally changed my life

[@Eddie80580]

Went through all the Elden ring videos recently and you talked about last video. Bring them back. They are great.

[@memo4L]

haven't experienced Christmas noobs since bo3/4

[@BL-OG-YT]

Hey we have the same profile pic

[@SaBeepah]

Love some thought provoking content from Jev. Thank you, Jev

[@josh0147]

Ay Jev sub zero got a buff

[@joshuarodas2966]

If you didn’t experience Christmas noobs you missed out

[@zekedavis9054]

People are forgetting that this game is incredibly similar to mw2019 and mw2. Also 2009 maps people are used to with maxed guns they can use from mw2. Idk how anyone was expecting to have that “new cod/Christmas day” experience knowing that. Are you using all given info when we make these opinions?

[@nathan.vasser3671]

Love you jev, even after a decade

[@wornouttrends]

Do you still listen to Breaking Benjamin? I had no idea you did harsh vocals, that’s so amazing! Love the vids Jev, and hope you had a wonderful holiday season. ❤

[@46babyspazzo]

jev will forever be my goat🐐

[@lonestar_kota]

things might change over time but my love for jev will never be one of them

[@TheArchitect4K]

Great vid Jev, thanks. You're one of the true ones out there, I appreciate it. Hope you had a great Christmas ! Take care bruh

[@Twin2Clon3]

Jev is definitely one of the most resilient cod creators out there

[@kethekey]

Man I love every point you made in this video. Couldn’t agree more

[@Peaxock]

at least here in Australia, all of the Christmas noobs are in the Hangover 24/7 playlist, its been fantastic

[@Brappin350]

6:38 yep jev had all the christmas noobs on his team

[@VioletEyes_]

The Christmas noobs aren't gone they have just evolved. Seriously because now everyone and their mom has played a cod game.

[@chillpadentertainment9344]

Jev you speak how most cod players feel but can’t express, this was a good brain picking vid… thank you

[@nathan.vasser3671]

The only REAL faze member left

[@buddyt5734]

Christmas noobs was one of the best things 😭

[@jmoney_29]

only jev can literally expand my worldviews and way of thinking while talking about sbmm on a random tuesday upload

[@Calebj18]

The “Christmas noobs” grew up. We are the Christmas noobs. Slowly turning into Christmas geezers

[@RyansBeans]

Jev really knows the in and out of COD now

[@greasyfishtacos]

The internet needs to find these vocals he’s talking about

[@sttayundrcvr4240]

Jev needs to work for Activision, he is the guy who has the guts to tell them what’s good and not.

[@Richnath]

Hungover from Christmas party but love to see you jev

[@MellowDaddee]

The Good Old Days. Happy Holidays Jev

[@raularevalo5172]

Hopefully there will be a time when skills based matchmaking will not be a thing and everybody can experience what we all old players have Experience since our child ages and we all will be old probably with kids or married and still be playing. Hopefully we will all get that nostalgic feeling of playing call of duty like we were kids in our eight years old age

[@Bancho7]

I think the Bungie Halos are the closest thing we’ll get to perfect matchmaking. Pubs were fast paced and seemed pretty fair. Then big team battle was the chaotic fun. But forge amplified all of it and gelled such a cool community so organically. I miss it

[@ADDAmerican]

Jev droppin philosophical bombs

[@AHumanoidFigure]

The Christmas noobs have been evolving ever since 2019.. they’re getting better, stronger.. faster.. sweater….

[@TimLoyalToWifeHaterFreeZoneA]

Love It Jev Bro.

[@Mikeygamer1]

It's okay to sweat sometimes but it's so refreshing to carry a noob and have them hype you up

[@thedayzgod]

Christmas noobs were wild it was so much fun to just own lobbies with the boys

[@bizzybk]

Mw, 2, and bo 1-2 was a different era man I miss it

[@zackzeleo8446]

Jev I love you. You’re the only person that is capable of dumbing down sbm the way you did 😂 respectfully that was legendary

[@TheKenny9802]

cod died when you stopped being able to stay in the same lobby

[@yourstillwithme]

Whats even crazier is Treyarch fully acknowledged the concept of "christmas noobs" and told us to "go easy on them" on Black Ops 2. If you google you can probably find. It's just crazy how shit is now.

[@PhoenixJTF2]

RIP Raul Menendez

[@almightyharold]

word

[@nickhadleymusic]

love u Jev

[@noway.2898]

One of my pet peeves rn is public chat. Almost no one talks. If u do its most likely thru private chats. There's been times where I got chat banned bc some pyscho on the team reported me for talkin to my buddy. Point is why so hard 9n game chat it's nuts it makes it feel so lonely and it's sad cuz it's a multiplayer game.

[@burgerbait]

It would be so funny if Activision came out and proved that EOMM isn't a thing and SBMM hasn't changed since CoD4 and the game just got harder because the collective playerbase has gotten better due to everyone playing CoD for the last 15 years. Christmas noobs aren't a thing anymore because who hasn't played CoD at this point.

[@ParadoxDesmond]

I always make a custom blueprint with each camo when going for the mastery grind saves so much time

[@purpleessence4297]

I’m a returning cod player, haven’t played at all since ww2. I’ve been loving all the new things and seeing some of these older maps, overall happy with coming back to cod. Only complaint is no matter how many bullets I dump into a sniper it’s never enough to stagger them so I just get one shotted anyways.

[@RAINoftheSEA]

Most people don't even remember that Fortnite was meant to be a survival mode surving against waves of enemiy

[@J-146]

1:34 I’m a Christmas noob (did not want to pay £70 for it but it’s on sale) and I’m always in lobby’s with level 200s and shit But bc of the double XP , I’m almost level 55 already so you probably couldn’t tell I was new to MW3

[@Rev8691]

I miss Christmas lobbies so much. Dropped 12 consecutive nukes on the original MW2. Also, got a huge influx of friend requests. People weren’t upset and quitting, they wanted to be on my team without disbanding lobbies.

[@multikell]

i really do miss the chrismas hype, getting ready to grind double xp & nukes on the christmas noobs haha, fav was doing it on og mw3

[@xgoldkilllerx5845]

Imagine what it will be like 10 years from now, literally will be matched up with clones of yourself

Let’s go another one !
