I just want to say thank you for the incredible support on the old school COD videos. I've definitely struggled to keep up with the COD content recently with the state of MW2 (2022), so it's been awesome to see so much love on these throwback videos. Love you all ❤️ And yes, I completely chose the wrong file when editing and put in the Black Ops theme by mistake lol.

the player count is no where NEAR the new cods. u trippin lil bro

[@brutace9219]

@@imrnp there was a picture from someone on bo1 that showed 109,000 players online. And even if you wanna say it's counting double, there are weeks where mw2 2022 only hits a peak of 70,000's. Also the videos on bo2 show 8-9,000 on just it... Out of peak time. So that's probably 10,000 on that one game, then there's bo1, mw2, mw3, cod4, and some on ghosts. Collectively there hitting similar numbers, maybe even passing if you take into account that some are ditching mw2 2022 for these older games.

[@Opethfeldt]

While I agree to a degree, I think it's also that so many people are depressed these days, which comes with it a tendency toward and a longing for nostalgia. So, even if the newer COD games were amazing, they'd never elicit those nostalgic feelings and will always pale in comparison for those seeking that experience.

I realized something, an epiphany if you will. The older CoD's were not REALLY faster, but the compact maps and quite footsteps and rushing nature of these games made them more fun and fast-paced! And of course, the older CoD's were designed for fun and not to serve agendas or cater to little timmy's + microtransaction etc.... The nostalgia man, MW2 was my first Online CoD and it is the best till this day! Something about the 2000's, pre technology madness, no agendas forced, people still joked and visited each other way often, life had color, wrestling was good, youtube was booming, no responsibilities as kids, getting together with friends and playing CoD......Everything about the 2000's screamed fun and peak life lol!

I love that these games are playable again. I played with my friends all day yesterday. SnD and quickscoping in private matches and we even ran some mike meyers, it was just so much fun. I think I got a new kill record for myself on this game with a 20 bomb last night on Afghan with the ACR. I tell ya what tho, using a controller after 2 years on MnK on these newer cods is ROUGH. I've been playing on 10 sensitivity and its sooo fast but the sniping is so good. This is back when cod took skill and everyone wasnt carried by their aim assist.

[@adm69420]

being a ninja in this game was my life's blood. I LOVED using Cold Blooded pro with the Ghillie suit and playing dead, following people around to make sure they see me following them around like a jerk for the kill cam. One of those types kills was better than any normal ones. Knife and throwing knife only became a standard and I just never touched the guns in the game except when prestige ing. I was really bummed when Blops came out and the perks made being undetectable on radar not possible as well as not being able to play dead.. but then I fell in love with nazi zombies and forgot until MW3 where it still wasn't as good, but better. ❤😂
