[@jose12379100]

"THEY'RE BRINGING THE WAR TO AMERICA. IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN." Yeah, the only MW3 missions that actually take place in America are the first two missions of the game.

[@0IIIIII]

Do people forget though that there were a few campaign missions in the America?

[@jose12379100]

Yeah....they brought the war in America in MW2. Only two campaign missions took place in the US in MW3, because it focused more on World War 3.

[@0IIIIII]

OreManiac213 No there were four missions in the US. There was the one with Burger Town, the one with Honey Badger, the one where they evacuate in the helicopter, and then when they storm the White House and light flares on the roof.

[@jose12379100]

0IIIIII Those missions were in MW2 not MW3.

[@0IIIIII]

OreManiac213 Oh sorry I thought you were talking about MW2

[@captainprice7954]

I never said story time?

[@massineben7198]

Captain Price course you didnt leftlant

[@sonamnechen821]

Oi Cpt Price you shoudve been more careful while killing Zakhave

[@riptidemchuggins3222]

Hard to run an operation with caution when the world's about to go boom.

[@rogerscott8211]

were are you after WWlll

[@uttkarshk7916]

Neither did I

[@beelzeboo]

MW2 had like 6 missions in the game in America, a lot more then MW3.

[@wh2mbarz536]

*Than

[@ryancave6451]

Who cares if you're in America or not?

[@timothywilliams7243]

Skyline Cod 4 was mostly in Russia and Middle East, MW2 was Mostly Russia and US, MW3 was USA, Africa, England, France, Germany, and oddly Czech Republic

[@edaniel7450]

+Timothy Williams Actualy in England too in training in COD4

[@JP-yt4rk]

Eduard Manding wrong it was in wales

[@unchartedfan9462]

1:25 "more americans", since when was captain price and soap american?

[@usher7971]

or GAZ

[@Scottishc7nt]

They are about as American as tea and crumpets

[@BBGirlSamus]

+Craig Mackay I get it! cause boats!

[@Madshooter91]

Uncharted Fan don't think he's ever played the game

[@danielr-1379]

Yeah aren't they british

[@warbegins4741]

1:25 ... They're SAS. They're British dude, not Americans

[@knanliyev6025]

Not British They are Russian

[@sxympathy966]

They are British, due to them being apart of the 22nd SAS regiment. Which if you didn't know was a British based military corporation.

[@tushibul_6411]

true

[@sulaiman-yg9qd]

War Begins hey idk that who told u that

[@rajvineshbhat398]

It was a joint operation between SAS and USMC dude

[@Nikkerman]

The days where cod was still fresh

[@Therizzler115]

What about mw3

[@Tacticalsquid]

How cool would it be if General Shepherd returned in MW4 as a main villain with an eye patch and was still alive.

[@saber_2_6]

Tacticalsquid well lets throw another knife on his other eye

[@ak47toh]

COD Ghosts does that by resurrecting Rorke after got shot at his chest and yet so many people cry about that game being fake.

[@Suzutsuki44]

Tacticalsquid it wouldn't

[@TheINSANATY]

Tacticalsquid problem with Sheperd is that he and Makarov forgot to use the cheat God Mode to turn on, this is why Rorke is still alive

[@jonasstrzyz2469]

+Antonius Torres I do not know a lot about ballistics, yet surviving a shot from a .44 magnum revolver trough the chest - effectively punching a hole through a the lungs - seems rather unlikely. But what do I know about blunt force trauma, ballistics or vital organs.

[@TheGrimReaper54321]

This is strangely accurate to modern events....even the the Syrian Leaders name is Al- Assad!

[@jeb9710]

6

[@theempiredidnothingwrong3227]

TheGrimReaper54321 I will not deny there are parallels

[@majed8192]

Yeah indeed the first time I played the game which was after that nasty civil war began I had no doubt that they actually based the game on the war I was surprised to know that the game was actually released in 2007 !!

[@TheKewlGamingMonkey]

It is called Modern warfare

[@Loltroll8]

TheGrimReaper54321 you ever heard of the phrase Life imitates art

[@ryfalraptor10]

You know you have a good story when it can be explained in 5 minutes

[@A7XKoRnRocks1]

The best story line in all the series.

[@dfladd8383]

+Umer Hamid nah, i like black op's story better.

[@A7XKoRnRocks1]

dfgaming Only Black Ops 1

[@adventureinc1568]

+dfgaming Block ops is over ratedm

[@yxnglucci4801]

+Umer Hamid World at War had a good story too.

[@DraKulisCinematicGaming]

+Umer Hamid MW3 storyline was made down the road ,had no actual coherence ,,just a few flashbacks to justify their BS

[@Scottishc7nt]

The good old days.. Oh devs what have you got yourself into.

[@sinrain1261]

Craig Mackay I agree, but the mistake was that they listened to us and this futuristic crap is our fault, you see when Ghosts was release everyone was pissed and kept saying the "same cod every year" so thanks to that we got AW , BO3 , and the infamous IW . But at the end it seems that cod 2017 is going to be a normal cod, with supply drops

[@ellwaugh8796]

[@fathergoose69]

Plot: Hey these guys killed us let's kill'em back.. Your mission: Kill this guy at this place, but wait he's not there now he turns out to be somewhere else, go get 'em so we can kill'em back

[@timothywilliams7243]

Jeebers mcfeeber pretty much

[@insuspectedrulling1082]

The story isn't that simple though...

[@plumeater1]

COD Modern Warfare 1 Remastered is COMING! Oh wait, only on Legacy Edition. #RIPCOD

[@uallrite123]

Yeahhh I stopped watching is shit as soon as you said the British SAS was American and killed Al-Asad

[@maxpatino7075]

Froogle can u calm ur self he made a Mistake, it’s not that big of a deal

[@tacoslapped]

Oh man that was great, I was waiting for so long for another "in 5 minutes" video!

[@eightypuff01]

The story get's drunk towards the ending of mw2. The story in cod 4 was really good, and they maintained some realism (that's why I love the old cod games). MW2 is also good, I guessed activision wanted to up the action in that one. But the story have some weird twist and turns, I still don't really understand general shepards motives. And in mw3 the russians attack usa (rembember that we kicked out the russians out of usa in mw2). And I have not a single clue why russia is attacking Europe..

[@linusmlgtips2123]

eightypuff01 Probably because of alliances.

[@mrhighway9557]

Tank chunk and steak head to New Jersey to pound a keg😂

[@Aaron13plus]

Excellent Recap!!!!

[@LetsWatchThisGuy]

Props to the people who made this video. This was amazing.

[@117halowars]

Other developers started to use that idea so they decided to start something fresh. To me the campaign is amazing. Sure is short, but it's still a great single player!

[@ryze7810]

this comment section is so old and nostagic, makes me sad :( if only we were back when this vid released id be grinding cod again

[@thrashpwndu]

pretty good recap i almost cry remembering all of this

[@FAOAHAK143]

Best Games History EVER

[@kittysweets1112]

The fanclub bit made me laugh

[@zgmfx-09a]

Oh god I didn't laugh this hard since I saw AC in 5 minutes

[@SUPREMEMASTER1]

2:16 - 2:24 I LOL'd

[@SwrveYT]

Looks like you’ve got to extend this video later this year...

[@lukelfccrazy]

flippin love the commentary:D! "Way To Go Vasquez" XD

[@imprinceshandy]

because that was develop by sledgehammer, not infinity ward..

[@leonard6937]

Wait did Captin price really send out the EMP to washington?

[@leonard6937]

Storm Trooper Oh Shit

[@giannirobi6993]

Ex ddssd3

[@tbush6657]

Leonard Lao yeah, nuking the satellite took out all power, a few astronaughts and whoever happened to be near a helicopter died and everybody lost their red dot sights, but more importantly, all of the russian soldiers were left fighting in foreign territory, with no gunships to back them up.

[@leonard6937]

Tyler Bushnell huh....

[@Muham434]

Leonard Lao yeah but he’s pretty smart for doing so, it endured the US a win. They were actually overrun by Russian choppers and soldiers so the EMP kinda saved them even though it did take some allied lives.

[@Juanquiqueaguilar]

Great recap

[@outphase78]

This video was informative and hilarious!

[@kingsofleon9377]

MW 1 2 3 and Remastered are the best cod games

[@rogerscott8211]

i agrea

[@badideagaming5910]

I miss roach... Why didn't he get to go out with a bang...

[@badideagaming5910]

lol

[@iBeEpic12]

The part where the EMP goes off in Washington is so awesome. Always feel awesome playing that part

[@streak4life]

this was beautiful

[@ZirkyPlays]

The best part was when soap died, so many crying ppl

[@ultimite_retro_gamers5243]

NOT THE DOLPHINS

[@3ole2]

Not only Dolphins but also Doges

[@MrDguaman]

thanks for this i had no idea what was going on in this story line because i got in to call of duty when black ops came out and i wanted to know the story of mw1 and mw2 before i got in to number 3

[@RocheeBoy]

Good vid man thanks

[@darkdeath2295]

*me watching this in 2019* Uhh there is a new modern warfare

[@jonathancarless8496]

You said more Americans come in but it was loyalists and sas soldiers

[@adamsharif8356]

Bringing back good memories

[@restoredempire8360]

One, Two, Three will always have a place in my heart

[@jakewilson487]

Well... MW2 happens 5 years after COD4, yet Price has been in jail for 15 years? Seems legit Infinty Ward

[@StefanPiano]

That is legitness

[@amarex1336]

Uhh where did it say 15 years? He was in the gulag for 3 years. Also, learn the difference between jails and prisons.

[@timothywilliams7243]

Jake Wilson he was in jail for 3 years

[@steveng8908]

1:30 not Americans, British SAS

[@TheThecooldude765]

Nice video IGN!

[@archon8001]

that sums it up real well there. shit hits the fan on the 8th

[@shirotagachi1305]

Wait... Call Of Duty has a story???? When did that happen?

[@amarex1336]

When the first Call of Duty was made...

[@ankuras143]

Okay. Here's a COC fan.. -_-

[@athulraj5941]

Hater

[@insuspectedrulling1082]

Not a COD fans but the story is one of the best story from fps

[@antoniovazquez4086]

terrible recap. half the stuff he said isn't true

[@chromefoxx1901]

antonio vazquez What..? Have you never played the damn game

[@nrrdedxa2812]

that was sarcasm

[@MegaOldnews]

I had too watch this twice to understand. I'm going to watch it again now.

[@jamiemk4951]

Watching this just for the memories

[@mRasode11]

Shepard is like bush zakheav is like putin

[@applebl3ach]

BraveShot Ent. bot troll

[@itsthreat5057]

Stop being an American patriot like seriously no one cares

[@conman8136]

Man, I can’t wait

[@goldstariv]

This was freaking better than the commercials.. Good watch, still unsure of if I am going to get this or not.

[@jorgez9402]

MW and MW2 were the best cod's of all time but MW3 fucked it all up

[@obduliochaparro5348]

no call of duty ghost and advanced warfare fucked up the series

[@eldarlamar5370]

+Obdulio Chaparro no Ghosts was good way better than Black Ops 2 Advanced Warfare was the one that truly fucked it up the exo suits ruined everything

[@obduliochaparro5348]

Ghost had too much lag

[@eldarlamar5370]

***** butthurt much?

[@drakewilson3668]

Ghost was boring and repetitive. It did multiple clichés and littearly had barely anything new then what you could whip up in a day.

[@GhettoTilliDae]

@flavorable how the end was a deep experience when you had that knife in your chest and i thinkin if price was goin to die that part was tight

[@pietro95]

best video from ign!

[@Jusuf0Ismail]

this dude is awesum he has to do more of these videos

[@LOTRFANO8]

Lol, loved the flashback part and the arm

[@TheBestGamer43]

You took the words out of my mouth.

[@reliablethreat23]

The Modern Warfare trilogy and Battlefield 3 have badass stories!

[@martinzalle]

You are not alone , my friend

[@DanBharry]

Brian Altano....ecellent work here my friend

[@fearthepugs9665]

This video was recommended to me 1 month after I watched the Modern Warfare 2019 Reveal. I watched this thinking it was a recap for the cod mw 2019 not cod mw3 xD

[@seandavis465]

Best series ever

[@Gears2m4]

somthing that bugged me was the wholl lt vasguz thing and saving the piolet, "leave no man behind" regardless of what will happen a merine will never leave a team to die for nothing, take the 2 navel seals from black hawk down, when the 2nd black hawk got shot down 2 navey seals went to it to save one piolet, but got themselfs killed and him captured. if it wernt for the two seals to pull him out, and drag him aside he would have been killed.

[@123kid258]

@Gorov97 which car ?

[@SPKYM8]

4:49 I've NEVER seen a better outro for anything! Even for movies liek Expendables! lol.

[@tacomaster141]

@Boss5414 What if i only played the MW series and want to finish story really bad.

[@dark321100]

Whats the name of the music ?

[@lookathatdingo335]

The jokes were actually.... pretty funny! way to go IGN

[@Jack22VV]

thanks i am getting mw3 but i haven't played the other 2 (bedsides the multiplayer)

[@dwest84]

I played the campaign of both these games twice, and I enjoyed them very much. And if you asked me the next day what the games were about, I wouldn't be able to tell you.

[@Evildood89]

@Bobinarea52 does it need to? xD I like the campaings just for the shock factor, they are good campaings (I like them more than the Multiplayer though)

[@sentient.t-5522]

Daaaamn how is this so old?

[@xavierramos9521]

I love your video

[@SantaCllaws]

That is possibly the best ending of anything I have ever heard...

[@suttersb.8766]

:D, that point has been reached, well done my friend!

[@dmazzone10]

Lol at the end. " its about to go downnnnn!"

[@shelliehayes3436]

Coincidently Cod 4 was my first cod and I first played it in 2011, the year which the game is set

[@metrak0073]

What's the music at 1:40

[@domgb97]

What happens to frost you dont seem him die but he just vanishes

[@PS2Reviewer]

@Whistling1diot an exploding nuke usually causes an emp but your theroy is possible too

[@sonnybrown4758]

Just came to give my unsolicited opinion. MW1 was a masterpiece campaign from beginning to end. MW2's first 2 acts are the some of the best moments in game history, imho. Just hit after hit of moments that really felt special. The 3rd act for me fell short and was pretty bland and chaotic. MW3 I really didn't care for. It wasn't bad, just short and unremarkable. It didn't do anything new like MW2 did and didn't leave me feeling anything really notable the way those first two acts did in 2 and the whole game did in 1. Just my opinion.

[@TheRuss16]

@maxter480 is it true bro sheperd told makarov that allen is an undercover soldier?

[@camer96]

ahhhhh... the memories, good days... just what captain price say in mw2 just like old times...

[@JeffTheJanitor]

"WAY TO GO VASQUEZ. You're dead, bro." LMAO. I could not stop laughing at this.

[@hahaha12345678901234]

Such a great Trilogy

[@darkmoonspecopsdmso2776]

The nuke in MW2 was used as an EMP, and the soldiers in the crashed helicopter clearly yell: EMP! Get DOWN! (not so sure about that last part.) and the pieces of stuff you see falling are helicopters and it looks pretty cheesy if you look straight up!!

[@Tacticalsquid]

I still wonder to this day, if Pvt. Allens body was why Russia believed it was the USA who did the attack on No Russian, then how come they never investigated the other two Russian guys that died earlier in the mission? I can't remember their names but I know like 2 of Makarovs men died along with Joseph Allen. Just curious.

[@Summerdontknowme]

yep, that pretty much sums it up

[@yolofire3196]

To IGN: your so funny the video was so funny I cried ps keep making videos😂

[@iNtErNeTLAMA12]

@maxter480 Wait are you trying to create an oxymoron here or sheperd literally implied to makarov O.o

[@john_smith_john]

What they didn't realize was that Shepherd literally pretty much TOLD makarov that Allen was an undercover.

[@rahhhbkdx1]

@SniffyHoppy Yeah he does, he says"He kills Roach and Ghost for knowing too much." Why would anyone leave out Ghost??!?!!?

[@darkvam]

Watched the whole thing and didn't realize it was Bryan Altano narrating til the credits lol.

[@lint9305]

Space Station Parts you say? There was that game where if you play as the russians you could call down a space station on your enemies

[@PandaBearFish]

Modern warfare in 3 seconds: Remember, switching to pistol is always faster than reloading.
