I agree largely with your takes here. Good shit Josh. What I like about what you have done with the Presidents is that you take all their characteristics and heavily periodized them to act as a vessel for what the fanbases argue for and against in terms of what games/maps/etc. Clearly great writing skills and this is why your stuff (And Krucial's President series) are my favorite KZbin vids to watch. Fuck it, your President's series is literally a show at this point. LOL.

[@rosecitystud1908]

LETS GO BOYS WE MADE A TIER LIST!!!!

[@Dar-oi3tw]

Reasons why I think CoD Classic should be B tier at the most. It was the first game in the series that started it all. It does have iconic moments Joe just forgot. Introduced Captain Price by liberating him from a POW camp as American Paratroopers, something we haven't seen since and no, liberating the Concentration camp from WWII doesn't count since you only killed one guy in that ending. First ever character Captain Folly is voiced by anime legend of Eng dub Steven Blum. The British campaign is awesome as you get to defend Pegasus bridge, a very real bridge showing how the older CoD games kept historical accuracy in their titles. Air raid a dam like its Goldeneye 007. Storm an air field, which also hasn't been done much since this game other then Finest Hour and World at War. And, you get to infiltrate the Bismarck, an actual German Battleship, to sabotage it for RAF forces to bomb to the bottom of the sea. You would not get that feeling again until Infinite Warfare 13 years later. In the Russian campaign you get several classic tank levels, which was on a lot of other CoD's but hasn't been done since WWII and only in Ghosts have we seen it outside of WWII. We get to liberate Warsaw, something never done again since I might add which is a shame since Poland is heavily overlooked in the WWII shooter community. And, it was the first time we got to take the Reichstag in its final level, and while WaW would do it better with Heart of the Reich and Downfall, CoD Classic was first and that level has its moments as well, heck we haven't even been back to Berlin since Modern Warfare 3 in 2011. May I go on, or should I hold my breath as I convinced the Presidential Zomboys as to why the First CoD is a masterpiece for its time and not just another WWII shooter.

As one of the 3 people who never played the COD franchise, playing these games now has been an enjoyable experience. Im a man who loves campaign, and I guess I like my stories to be grounded and realistic because right now my favorite is BO1, second is World at War, and third is BO2. I played the campaigns and they were incredible. I really missed out. And if Modern Warfare is as good as people say it is especially the campaign then im definitely gonna play it, starting from the beginning

Same here brother! Finally both of these games get some love!

[@da_dang_dog]

Just gotta mention CoD2 is great. While there’s no third mode and the multiplayer is of its time (and dead) it has a great campaign. Less story driven then later CoDs but the variety of missions and the size of the maps give you lots of room to maneuver. And there is no shortage of great moments. The set of missions where you land on D-day, taking the beach and nearby town only to get pushed back to the coastal cliffs to be saved at the last moment. Holding out in a bombed out apartment in Stalingrad, being overwhelmed by an enemy counter attack. Attacking the town of Caen with no armored support and no AT, having to scrounge for weapons to take out a Tiger tank. Assaulting hill 300, crossing the Rhine, giving Rommel’s best a good kicking, a commissar telling you in training that grenades are worth more than a soviet soldier. Not saying it’s the best CoD but CoD2 walked so CoD4 could run. CoD1 also deserved better but that’s not my hill to die on. Love the video though, these are great a getting laughs outta me.

[@Sxumbagz]

George and Joe had amazing takes on MW3, I think it’s better than mw2 solely because it is more refined and fair. Plus spec ops was way better this time around, and survival is a lot of fun. Plus the campaign brought back some missions that weren’t just constant explosions and death. It had plenty of quiet moments meant to build tension. MW2 had constant action like a Michael Bay movie. A far cry from the og MW which would always build the tension up in quiet missions. Personally I’d rank MW3 in S tier and MW2 in A tier.

So, I'm curious, how are you able to use background music unchanged for longer than 6 to 10 seconds? Wouldn't that get you copyright struck, or is it a case-by-case basis thing on if the song gets a video flagged? Is it because the Presidents talking technically makes it a "new or altered work" or something like that? Great video, by the way!

[@rickyrosay33977]

Well COD pretty much eclipsed MOH and now Battlefield has basically replaced it

[@Dar-oi3tw]

"I doubt anyone would get upset over this." Nope, we are upset with this Barak, we are. CoD 2 was my first Call of Duty game ever. And while it does not have as nearly as many memorable moments as its predecessor, it still delivered in several other fronts. It was the first CoD game to give you a grenade sensor, before it did not exist and you would just die randomly, and even though CoD 3 would start the trend of throwing them back, it was still nice to know that where the grenades were so you don't just suddenly die for no reason what so ever. It was the first CoD game to give us North Africa as a campaign and since then, every WWII game, with the exception of WaW and WWII, would have North African levels as ANZAC forces. It has the best intro out of all CoD games showing all the levels in great fashion. It was the only CoD game to have multiple objectives at once, which were all capture objectives but still it was nice to see that type of level in a game as early as this and I wish we would get that type of level design in a modern CoD game. It has the best objective diversity in the series where in some levels it would be your straight up shooter, but others it would be holding the line from German counter-attacks for a certain amount of time or waves like in Stalingrad and North Africa and even Hill 400 in the American Campaign. Others would be an escort mission, and there was even one North African mission where you, Captain Price, who makes his return by the way, and MacGregor, all high jack a German Armored Car, a viechle we have not seen since WaW's Vendetta level and in that level we just hear Reznov say "Armored Car" while its shooting us out of a burning building, and escape from a Tunisian town. It also was the first campaign where you participate in a navel invasion of Normandy as the Rangers rather than as Paratroopers of the 101st Airborne like last time, giving us a great D-Day level that was just as good as the opening scene in Saving Private Ryan. Once again, there is much that is good about this game that you are not letting on, so yeah I think a lot of people would be upset with this choice of having it in D or F tier as it is very memorable and has some of the best mechanics for levels I have ever seen in a CoD game and have never seen a CoD game since reach that level of objective diversity. Also, my father said that if this game had sprinting in the campaign rather then binoculars, it would have been his favorite CoD game instead of Modern Warfare 1, 2007.

[@Dar-oi3tw]

Just remembered it was Finest Hour that was my first CoD but CoD 2 was my first mainline CoD and it really did get me into CoD far more then Finest Hour ever did. Sorry for the misinformation as it is hard at times to remember that far back since it was nearly 20 years, but thanks for the Heart Joshua Shaw.

[@Babychips1]

This is amazing video

[@GeistDrachen]

The original MW3, Black Ops 2, and Ghosts were my personal favorites as they were the ones I mostly grew up on. Ghosts I feel like is really overhated. I love the map interactions in multiplayer, the unique care package drops depending on the maps you're on like the predator juggernaut, the harrier killstreak as a nod to MW2, and Shipmint as a battle area with random interactions in the map like the hidden sentry guns and care package jackpot. Also it was the first CoD game to have player customization which is something I really like. It's not the best by any means as I didn't like the campaign and Extinction was decent, but I think it's decent.
