The Multiplayer of Black Ops vs Modern Warfare

[@theWheezy]

Some clarification for the video: (Cold War) It's not a real reboot, but I looped it in as 2019 was the start of a new wave for multiplayer which is where I considered CW's multiplayer to be a reboot, even when it's not storyline wise whatsoever. (MW2019) I know the game was getting a lot of flak before and at launch, it was only after everything settled down that I thought the game was being more well-received. After the release of more COD games did I think they were starting to just follow in the footsteps of MW2019, becoming very similar in feel. (WAW connection) Yes World at War ties into the Black Ops storyline and is made by the same developers, Treyarch. However, the Black Ops series is still separate and generally considered separate when looking at the multiplayers. I am aware of the story ties, this video was specifically targeted at multiplayer and no story connections. The original COD games could be tied in with Modern Warfare as well because of the connection with the Price family. (MW3) Also my wording got messed up talking about nukes and MOABs. The MOAB does not end the game, but does wipe the entire enemy team like the nuke, forgot to correct it in the editing process. Let me know your thoughts on everything about the video and whether you agree

If WAW isn’t considered Black Ops in your eyes, then Cold War might as well be considered a reboot

My main issue is you didn't mention the two biggest flaws of MW 2019: the SBMM and the size of the maps.

Trick shotting was debunked all where cheated. And mwf2 was way better. They actually made call of duty. Activison fired call of duty after mwf2. Black ops was Activison.

Call of duty games used to have a distinct look and feel to them, not so much the case anymore since 2019 onward, only Cold War kinda felt not like modern warfare 2019. Infinity ward games had weapons that were sleek and slim, black ops bulky and rough.

[@Nitroh-]

Eh, both devs have gone up and down with weapon models looking bulky and slim tbh. Look at the AK47 for example, the Cod4 and Bo1 versions are slim and clean, the MW2 and MW3 versions and bulky and ugly. Then the ACR from MW2 to MW3 went from bulky to slim. It's hit and miss really. Also yeah the old games had a distinct feel and charm to them we don't get anymore cause every Cod now is on the same base engine, the only thing getting changed is mechanics which they hardly even do that aside from Bo6 with omnimovement, otherwise every Cod since 2019 except Cold War has been on the same exact engine, copy paste copy paste. That's why I kinda like Cold War, it's the only Cod since Bo4 to actually feel different and use a different engine. Something I wish Cod would keep doing and miss about years prior.

[@cloudynguyen6527]

@@Nitroh- I would argue the problem isn't just the engine. But it's also the UI. Back then, multiplayer, singleplayer and side modes used to have very distinct UI. Now everything look so clean and standardize. And yeah Cold War rocks. The UI is very minimal to the point that it looks distinguish enough from other COD entries. UI is the only the easiest problem. Art direction, story direction and everything else must iterate as well. I feel like every COD nowadays only change the system but its look always stays consistently bland.

[@N-GinAndTonicTM]

One of my favourite weapons in Black Ops, was the Enfield. Generally bad iron sights, heavy recoil and low mobility; but Jesus fucking Christ in the right circumstances I could dominate with that thing, and I know that saying that makes me sound like a total twat, but... Shut up. Nowadays it's all just a case whatever the game feels like you're allowed to use. I swear, it doesn't matter what I use. Whether it's my own setup, someone else's or however I play; the games feel like they purposefully stop you from getting the same performance as everyone else regardless of the class. Yet Xx_PussySniffer_xX (TTV) can come along, pick up whatever you've been using and suddenly it's a one-shot, cross-map meta weapon.

Back in these days IW set the trend. COD4 dropped and treyarch followed its lead for WAW. MW2 dropped and BO1 followed it's lead but also corrected many of the major balancing issues MW2 had, although it did introduce some of its own. This only really changed once the original IW crew fell apart and their design philosophy changed, and then 3arc took the lead. Despite this pattern the games still had their own unique feel to them. All the modern cods feel the exact same

[@rayojordan2838]

Bro 😂 most people only talk about modern warfare & black ops but most of us who played call of duty since cod 1 & 2 people don’t understand how great call of duty 3 & world at war was at the time and zombies in world at war was mind blowing. By the time cod 4 mw came out and mw2 and black ops it only got better till after bo2 everything became a shell of its time I do like ghost and love bo3 & Infinite warfare, bo4 was & is still good, but the latter part of games compared to cod3 and world at war which era would you right have?

The actual guns in BO1 were statistically speaking worse balanced than MW2...

Last CoD i played was BO2, but I always had a bias for InfinityWard's iterations. The gunplay felt smoother and the net code was usually better (in my experience). But as you pointed out, the maps were more unique - it made every round of dom/search a little different.

[@BowlHeadRalts]

I think we see it as a competition of the two bc whenever there is two thing that are good at the same thing then we start to get picky on which one is the "real" best one. It was never a competition it was more of a library of of two different series in one company. It's like switching from your pokemon scarlet game to your violet game. They are both fun and have similarities but sometimes you just feeling one game instead of the other some days.

[@theWheezy]

Absolutely agree

[@thereisaplaceineastmelbourne]

Something worth mentioning. fast TTK and more chaotic maps dosen't make a game "faster paced" typically faster paced refers to how fast you move around the map and how balanced and engaging gunfights are. fast paced dosen't mean being one framed fast paced means being able to run behind cover and turning on someone. I always see people call MW19 fast paced despite having some of the slowest base movement speed, worst overall map design that ENCOURAGES camping, and incredibly fast TTK, this does NOT increase the pace of the game it decreases it you're encouraged to slow down, not run into a building because you can die quicker. I'd argue black ops 4 and cold war and 3 are the fastest paced COD's to date because you can easily traverse the map if you're at all competent and understand how to manage heals, how well you know the map layout and those kinds of factors. fast ttk =/= fast paced.

[@Yuuki_Asuna]

nah man, if you are not a noob, mw2019 is ultra fast paced, there's no denying that, just see any clip of some good player and it's super fast paced, you not being able to go that fast because of your skill doesn't make the game less fast paced, noobs that camp are just easy kills to everyone else that is good

For me MW19 was and still is such a "what if" and "what could've been" for me. I really really liked the feel of the gunplay and movement. Too bad for the insane TTK in non hardcore combined with many many camp spots on multiple camper oriented maps. Updates brought non camper map playlists which was awesome, but now with no map voting and no playlists you are forced to play some of the worst maps in COD history which has ultimately led to the death of the game for the most part. It's still early, it still has it's problems that need to be worked on too but I'm playing BO6 on game pass and so far I think it's pretty good. It definitely suits a more run around style thanks to the movement and I love that. MW19 gunplay on maps that were hard to camp on would've been prime to me, but so far unless they ruin it BO6 feels nice.

[@abnorth2276]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="718">11:58</a> to me, as someone who basically only ever played warzone, warzone is the reason tactical sprint was added to clear open areas faster in exchange for your aim down sights speed being slower if I understood it correctly. Now, I don’t know if tac-sprint actually decreases your aim down sights speed, but it was definitely implemented because of warzone.

[@jjs1384]

I disagree completely on the “rough time period” or worst era for cod. I do not think it was the jet pack era, and thus supply drops. I got every item in Bo3 for free, as if you completed the events you would get weapon bribes for free. Same with mwr, and their supply drop system was a vast improvement letting players use salvage to buy stuff outright. Didn’t spend a dime on supply drops on either. In today’s era, games are riddled with Sbmm, and most of us on here feel that’s a bad thing. That aside, all the items in the shop are expensive, with no other way to unlock them. There’s nothing to grind for anymore other than the mastery camo. It depletes the game of stuff to do, and it really sucks

[@RyguyAlpha]

The other problem with Blops 4 was that they also tried to make it a hero shooter, so there were specialist abilities that were pretty annoying. I enjoyed that they increased the health pool in that and MW3 (23) though. As time as gone on, my reaction speed isn’t what it used to be, so I tend to gravitate to games like Halo where the gunplay is less reliant on twitch response.

[@guffingtonreal]

I don't think they've done Gunsmith as good as MW19. Black Ops' versions fall short and there isn't much unique about every gun. The way gunsmith works in Warzone 2.0 and the reboot sequels feel like such a mess, there's unique stuff for each gun but why would I bother when I can level up a different gun and get an attachment that's the overall best?

The black ops series always felt better to me. Can also imagine it depends if you started on cod 4, mw2 or black ops. If you started on cod 4 or mw2 then they will probably be the better series. I didn’t really like the weapon selection in the Mw series or the timeline it was set but appreciated the game for what it was. Black ops felt like it became apart of our identity. Again maybe because trickshotting stayed on bo2 until bo3 came out, spent 3 years on one cod so all the snipers and trickthotters just have an affinity towards bo2 as we spent a lot of our developing years on that game.

Bo1 largely killed the dropshot and the quickscope. In school I had friends on both sides, some who were excited hearing Bo1 would have it removed (or so we thought) and friends who were avid MW2 quickscopers, who did end up playing Bo1 and subsequent cods but never stopped playing MW2. One of those guys I still talk to, and he played MW2 on his 360 until they shut it down. In MW2, your screen wouldn't scope in a single centimeter until the scope got to your eyeball, then it would immediately be at 100% zoom. In Bo1, WHILE your character was pulling the weapon to his face, it would simultaneously be scoping in slightly more and more until it hits the eye, where it becomes full zoom. That, and while the weapon is being pulled to your face, your camera would wobble slightly along the path of the normal scope sway to make aiming harder and different every time you tried zooming. MW2 did not have this, if it made any sense. But it's the steps Treyarch took to mitigate what was at the time one of the most contentious parts of the game. So much so that if I remember right, they brought it up at e3 or something and got cheers from the crowd, similarly to when they announced the removal of last stand.

There's also all the "guides" or "tips and tricks" on how to be the best player, using the best class. There's always going to be someone researching tier lists and checking data so they can abuse the most overpowered gun or character in order to get an advantage to win/dominate, so many other people feel like they should do the same to "make it fair". If MW2 was remastered as it was, every game would have at least 1 person in it running noob tubes and OMA

Black ops 2 is still my favorite cod. Mw2019 i still love (its what got me back into cod / gaming a tiny bit and i built my pc to play mw2019 campaign on mac settings lol). Bo3 is the cod that made me quit gaming for a few years, i played it so much but that game made me the most rage induced ive ever been while gaming. It was addicting but frustrating and it incentiviced very sweaty gameplay. I hated the departure from BO2s casual fun feeling. I didnt really touch any videogames after bo3 until early 2020 during my first / second year of college. Recently i bought cold war on sale and ive been enjoying it a lot for the most part (other than there not being a LOT of players currently since it isnt the main COD). Im excited by what ive seen coming for black ops 6 and it may be the first COD game i get near release in more than a decade.

The points that you had for modern warfare were valid. However, I’ve always liked BO better than MW then and now. Growing up I always thought the MW series was the same even now. MW2 also has 0 replay ability even compared to MW3. That’s just how I always felt and some people may but MW over the BO series and it’s to each their own.

MW'19 felt like you ran really fast whilst still fairly slowly moving around a map.. I don't know if it's through optical illusions with FOV or that the maps were simply 'expanded' while making the player models the same size but move faster, idk.. But it did feel extremely silky smooth running around in that game while still feeling like you had distance to cover if enemies planted at the other site in SnD- for example.. I only wish there was no tac sprint, slide cancel and that the sliding distance was 10-15% shorter/slower so that the emphasis was a little more on gun skill than movement skill. Too many people would slide cancel their way around the maps which I found a little annoying that we had to do to get that liiiittle bit of extra movement speed that often made the difference at the start of SnD rounds; just wish we ran normally to the positions. The feel of the game was perfect, the gameplay itself could've been a touch better; if that makes sense. I also thought for sure you were going to say BO2 maps were the best and I was going to roll my eyes but am pleasantly surprised! Everyone raves on about BO2 but to me when that game released, I was immediately put off by the maps (except Standoff and Yemen: both S-tier maps imo).. BO2 maps to me really stood with being the first CoD to have all their maps VERY 3-laned, majority very symmetrical and with foliage being non-existant except maybe a map or two and only in a small section and the maps essentially felt very arena-like.. Everything was cleaned up, didn't look like a war had been taken place yet and all the 'walls' were smoothened out.. People disliked MW3'11 maps at the time because of the bad spawns (mainly initially after the game launched) and that around half the maps could've done with a 20% increase in size; but the actual map layout themselves were very similar to MW1/2 in that the walls weren't smoothened out, it was very 'nook and cranny' and felt less polished (that freedom feeling mentioned in the video).. BO2 maps were made for competitive but hurt the casual gameplay in my opinion. It felt less like a peek-a-boo in SnD games and more confrontational which inherently places a bigger emphasis on internet connection. BO1 maps were the absolute PEAK of CoD map design in terms of diversity, balance, lack of symmetry whilst still largely balanced on both spawn sides and where a 'large' map was truly 6-7x bigger than a 'small' map rather than 2-3x being considered massive (as people now are obsessed with grinding for camos, gameplay takes a hit as all people now want to do is farm) and I think BO1 is quite literally the ONLY CoD where every bit of the DLC maps matched the base maps- phenominal.. MW2'09 had great base maps and terrible DLC maps, MW3'11 had decent maps (many people consider them bad) but the DLC maps were absolutely fantastic.. CoD4 and WaW get an honorable mention, but BO1 maps I don't think could ever be beaten. Only downside I can think is that the base maps came with 14 rather than 16 maps that we were used to seeing from the MW series; that is literally the ONLY gripe about BO1 maps; they were otherwise perfection.

[@one-metallica4156]

My first COD ever was Black Ops 1. My first MW game was MW2 2009. Best two games to introduce me to COD.

[@Luke-ym7hd]

Also my favourite 2 CoDs ever. And pretty much the only Treyarch game I truly loved. I cannot wait for them to be remade. I just hope they’re done like for like, no changes. I want One Man Army the same, I want BO1’s camera spike the same. Everything has to stay the same, I don’t give a fuck if all the new shitty modern players hate it 😂

Yeah, but Black Ops is the best of the franchise. It was a lot of fun playing Cold War and Treyarch games in general have more longevity, more support and content. IW dropped the ball with MW 2022. Got to give credits to Sledgehammer though MW 2023 multiplayer was actually a lot of fun.

[@smileyr]

Honestly at this point splitting the fan base into two isn’t such a bad idea. For people who want to play a more realistic COD, you play Infinity Ward COD. For those who preferred more arcade shooter, you play treyarch COD. Every year it alternates COD from arcade/realistic. You prefer one over the other you skip that years COD. Each game could have support for at least more than a year. This benefits the consumers as well, you skip the year you don’t want to play a specific cod you save money.

[@weed1573]

I have to say I would pick OG black ops over OG MW but both were amazing

[@CardinalAngel]

I know it was rushed and a "DLC" for MWII, but MWIII is genuinely a fun game that plays very differently from MWII and is being overlooked. That game had the BEST post-launch support. Anyone who talks about it always goes for low-hanging fruit, but if you actually play it and experience it without the negative mindset you'll see that SHG made the best out of a bad situation. I know for a FACT that MWIII will be looked back on fondly after its lifecycle.

[@saulgoodman2892]

[@iithax01]

Cod took away so much stuff that made the game unique to just end up copying battle Royale, definitely a different era

[@mrsickwick]

My favorite title in the series is the og modern warfare, and I can say without a doubt black ops is the best in the series. They were all really solid games usually.

[@helloimuzumakikira1]

Problem with new cods is the increasing player speed. Before u had to use some tactics to win ur gun fights but recent cods, its just whoever can be the most monkey can win the gun fights. I think thats the main problem and if that gets fixed, rest will cascade.
