This is a perfect comment. Great summary of what made this game so good/new games are lacking. It really was much simpler than these live service games which are desperately trying to squeeze money and engagement from players.
As much as I loved and played this game, I still think I took it for granted. Seeing all of them come back in a time when gaming is super stale just brings joy to my heart.
FFA was a lot more because it felt like there were options to move around and be more agressive. Besides there not being ridiculous SBMM, the simplicity of the mechanics also made it less sweaty imo and still very accessible to new players.
Great call on the simplicity of game mechanics. All the movement, abilities and metas of current games makes them such a sweat because there's so much you should be optimising to remain somewhat competitive.
Holy heck, I never would have thought that Handler would be afraid of one-man army noob toobs... still getting a nuke after something like that is still bad-ass. Good one Handler
S&d was my shit to always the fastest way to level up with the least amount of time played. Me and the homies were always competing who could level up the highest with the least time played
Maybe it's a combination of the opinion of the maps, the weird spawns, the viability of camping and probably the assumption that people are gonna camp hard kept people away from FFA heavy in the newer CODs. In don't necessarily hold the same opinion, but I think that may be it idk tho.
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar Exactly, now imagine that, but in a game where people think its a campfest in other gamemodes. Not many people are gonna even wanna try ffa
“He’s got oma, he’s got oma, Ik it, I saw it , he charging it up” dude the nostalgia of that panic when you are so close to the nuke. Any one who has ever played this game has been traumatized going for nukes, being at like 20 something kills then dying to something ridiculous 😂👍
Where the Chopper Gunner fails, the AC130 will surely succeed!! Also people tend to love their corners in recent CoD games. Most FFA matches are people lane watching or corner camping with mines and shotguns
Love the commentary vids. This brings me right back to the days of watching you when you were actually Knife Handler, droppin SnD knife vids while talking about high school lol.
Regarding the comment about FFA at 1:12, I also feel that way. I used to EXCLUSIVELY play FFA but I found myself not being able to play many matches anymore. I'm unsure if it's the SBMM, the disbanding lobbies, or that it's easier to camp, but something just doesn't scratch the itch anymore. I still remember the MW2 days though, running around with a P90 and Spas-12 with Marathon Pro lol
It's interesting, because in cod I have really fallen off of it; meanwhile in redmatch 2, a game that only uses server browsers, FFA modes are an absolute blast.
It’s a combination of things. Respawn in the newer CoD’s (post-CoD WWII) have been straight trash. It’s basically S&D or nothing. I used to play S&D and FFA only back in Black Ops 1. Attack Helicopter, Blackbird and Dogs/Gunship was an _EASY_ dub.
Yoooo the sound of that chopper gunner and the hit marker sounds are soooo fkn nostalgic!! Scar is so good in this game too (I know every gun is good lol)
I managed to aquire 3 nukes in my time with this game back in 2010. I was new to CoD, took quite a few months to actually understand how to play and play well enough. Nobody in my friend's list believed me when i told them every nuke i got was free for all! My first time was on Quarry in the back corner with the giant whole in the wall. Second was Scrapyard and it was the back building that does not have the cat walk, the smaller building. Third was Underpass, holding down the bottom right corner of the map (i think that is where it is on the map lol) and that was so insanely close, i literally got killed a SECOND after getting the Nuke. I eventually turned into a S&D ninja and refused to use guns in the game. It was a lot of work, but getting those kills were always more satisfying than just shooting and i didnt care about kill streaks that much.
Best COD to ever be released!!!! When the game first came out my mom didn’t allow me to get online for PlayStation so I couldn’t even play online but I’d literally force my neighbor to allow me to play cause I was so obsessed with the game. Heck I was so obsessed I used to play against split screen opponents that didn’t even move 😂😂😂😂 I’d just turn on 3 other controllers and farm kills 😂 man I’ve never been more obsessed over a game in my life. Best memories of my life
Now I know OMA noob tubes are not something to praise MW2 for, but you can't tell me you've felt this challenged and actually invested in any newer COD like you have in this video or even any of the older CODs. Takes me back to trying to get my first MOAB on MW3, way more challenging because killstreak kills didn't count for it.
It's way too funny at the end. I'm pretty sure the guy that tried so hard noob tubing you was the 1 who instantly raged quit when you called the nuke 😂
As someone who used to get nukes pretty consistently on this game, I find it MUCH harder to get a nuke right now. Most people playing the game are also mw2 veterans so they all start either shooting down killstreaks instantly or start spending the entire game trying to kill you and end your streak and also you have the teams that all run cold blooded so your killstreaks do nothing for you. You pretty much just hope you get the perfect lobby where nothing goes wrong if you want a nuke right now.
No shit haha I spent my time on PS3 back in the day playing this but now on Series X I had to restart and rerank up. I have like a 2.80 KD which means nothing but playing the last like 5 cods I struggled so hard to maintain a 2 KD. It's been so much fun dropping chopper gunners and nukes like almost easier then I used too. Granted I was way better back then, compared to now mainly being a teenager strung out on monster and Doritos. Now it's just like map awareness and spawn logic, weapon logic, when to fight and engage. Idk been so much fun playing the old Cods because not every lobby after I go 50-8 is an MLG sweatfest with people my skill. Again I don't mind SBMM to a degree but nothing is more frustrating then going off on a new Cod and getting absolutely wrecked because now your team is just magically trash out of nowhere, when you had decent teammates before. Idk it's cool seeing the lobby stand banded and just switching a few teammates or w.e having the top 2 on your team one game then the next you guys get split up. I think they should go back to that instead of just cueing you with an entirely new group of people. That was like the best part, going head to head with another person or group until someone left or you became friends. Now you can't even make friends with randoms unless you hit it off right away.
@@TATERTOT4353 Man sounds like it's been fun for you! Tbh my lobbies have been feeling kind of like the new cods lol I'm literally always the only one going positive on my team while all the other good players are on the other team. I don't usually care because it's more kills for me but i've literally had teammates stand next to me while i'm in a chopper gunner and it gets me killed 🤣 hopefully I get some better lobbies because I'm getting the worst of it right now lol I definitely feel it was easier back in the day compared to now on these old cods but it might also just be the input lag messing with me a little.
@@-Zelo Yeah forsure I feel that died so many times to scrubs just twiddling their thumbs and looking at the ceiling lol. It explains why the new cods are so ass the casual player base has dwindled so much compared to back in the day I feel like. The noobs and randoms atleast held their own or didn't do so bad. Now the game is so widespread and worldwide, I mean it was back in the day but Warzone ruined that and really showed a skill gap that wasn't there because you can't camp B flag with a noobtube or an overpowered broken mechanic that hardly exist for a week let alone the games entire life cycle like they used to. I noticed when I changed my Series X from 120 HZ to 60 HZ it made a significant impact on the gameplay for the 360 versions of the old Cods. Idk if it's something that's real or it's just a placebo effect but even dumbing down the resolution from 4k or 1080 to 720 made it play way smoother, albeit looks almost worse because of the improvement in technology over the years that we adjust too but makes the game more enjoyable at least for me because my analog sticks and aim doesn't feel stuttered or delayed. Like I said idk if it's something that actually works but it works for me so f it haha
@@TATERTOT4353 I'll have to try out switching the resolution and 60hz. Ill take anything to help it lol because I used to be able to snap aim so well but now I have to give myself a second to line up the shots or Ill miss everything 🤣
That’s why I love this game. Everyone can get a nuke and everyone can stopping you. I always go for nukes no matter if is 2023 or other year I like the feeling on being in fear because they can kill me xd
It's a pain in the butt on the receiving end of a oma noobtuber but oh so satisfying if you are that oma noobtuber! I wish it was a game mode like tdm or search in new cod games! I'm 56 and an OG cod player! I'll use anything in the game to get kills my reflexes are still good my eyesight isn't! Thank you Handler for bringing back some good memories I have just subscribed because of this nostalgic inducing video!
I wouldve said that im sad to see people not playing newer cods, but honestly I don't blame them. (Plus im also kinda starting to like it! The og sounds scream nostalgia😂)
I think FFAs popularity dipped when the games started favoring camping, FFA used to be a bunch of people running around basically getting into 1v1v1v1's lol. It used to be occasional campers, now its essentially every game someones trying to camp. Ruins the fun.

Dude really tubed the entire game with oma on his own host, got nuked and rage quit. A cod community vet at its finest
lmao what loser, couldn't even take a nuke without getting salty.
Bro he literally was boosting off off that lvl 3 aheehaw
Yep. Big Papa if you're seeing this you holding that L
yeah what a loser
@@mikerotch1249He ended the streak lol
Getting a high streak and then the whole enemy team starts targeting you is very old COD lmao
Thats what I was saying! I was talking to the video saying he needs to rotate to another building because they’re trying to break his streak lol
Nogla?

Yeah mw2 up to mw3 I was a free for all grinder, getting into like top 3000 and then after those games I basically never touched it lol
Great call on the simplicity of game mechanics. All the movement, abilities and metas of current games makes them such a sweat because there's so much you should be optimising to remain somewhat competitive.
So happy to see all these old CODs come back
Finally a game where Handler actually fears something lol
Holy heck, I never would have thought that Handler would be afraid of one-man army noob toobs... still getting a nuke after something like that is still bad-ass.
Good one Handler
Seeing a pro S&D player trying to get a nuke is mesmerizing 😂

That’s just how FFA is played. If you hold down one spot and you know the spawns you can fry.
@@CodeineAbdulJabbar Exactly, now imagine that, but in a game where people think its a campfest in other gamemodes. Not many people are gonna even wanna try ffa
Idk why the comment was made, you can find FFA lobbies as easy as any other. You just don’t watch CZcams videos on FFA
12:48 Played 1000s of hours of this game and had no idea you could go on that little ledge.
Never seen anyone else do it either.
same
u console players know so little its always amazing
@@maxaffe3195nice hat. l o l
This is the only old cod I bought so far since servers came back up, this game literally is the best in my books thank you og mw2 always appreciated
The COD Renaissance has been completely revitalizing
“He’s got oma, he’s got oma, Ik it, I saw it , he charging it up” dude the nostalgia of that panic when you are so close to the nuke. Any one who has ever played this game has been traumatized going for nukes, being at like 20 something kills then dying to something ridiculous 😂👍
The chasing of the nukes made me the most angry in the game, getting close and then getting killed 🤣
Made getting them soo much sweeter
Big papa was literally itching to get handler off the nuke. Soon as it got called in “migrating host” LMAOOO.
Day 40 of asking Handler to do throwing knife only challenge.
yes pls
Dedication right here, lol
Last throwing knife only video 56 days ago 😔
he already did
He will *NEVER* do it fooI, so *QUIT* askin!
@crazyz_15
Where the Chopper Gunner fails, the AC130 will surely succeed!!
Also people tend to love their corners in recent CoD games. Most FFA matches are people lane watching or corner camping with mines and shotguns
and TDM and Kill Confirmed and so on... people are so fucking afraid to die nowadays.
man, this game was so fun back in the day
i really enjoyed watching this
This is what dreams are made of
Love the commentary vids. This brings me right back to the days of watching you when you were actually Knife Handler, droppin SnD knife vids while talking about high school lol.

Finally a video that shows the struggle to get a nuke back in the day not the videos that make it look like a walk in the park
Getting a chopper gunner on MW2 is the equivalent to being on game point in a basketball game of 21. EVERYONE JUST COMES AFTER YOU.
best nuke of any game. The animation in the corner the sound and to top it off it wins you the game.
11:51 LOL
oh man, that feeling of just getting nube tubed out of nowhere
First game i took seriously online. Thanks for the memories
Haha funniest video of handler with noob tubes lol
Yoooo the sound of that chopper gunner and the hit marker sounds are soooo fkn nostalgic!!
Scar is so good in this game too (I know every gun is good lol)
I do love the complete lack of dropshots and bunny hops. Almost like those things are moronic and don't belong in the game.
This one was EXTREMELY fun vid!😂
The desperation in Handler's voice (never heard in any other game btw) at the end is priceless hahahaha
That was an emotional roller coaster
Good content. Keep'em coming, sir!
Handler destroying these sweaty Noobs
Dude another 💎 vid
It's so satisfying when everyone quits when a nuke is dropped
I managed to aquire 3 nukes in my time with this game back in 2010. I was new to CoD, took quite a few months to actually understand how to play and play well enough.

“Easy to drop a nuke “
Fails 3 times and has to camp out to the max to get it . 😂 the irony
That was the fastest I've ever seen a chopper gunner get taken out
Hahaha..that 19th kill. GGs!
Last 3 kills is literally a horror movie, I was so stress seeing you vs one man army
Now I know OMA noob tubes are not something to praise MW2 for, but you can't tell me you've felt this challenged and actually invested in any newer COD like you have in this video or even any of the older CODs.
Takes me back to trying to get my first MOAB on MW3, way more challenging because killstreak kills didn't count for it.
Freaking out with the chopper gunner😂
Back where it all started, OG mw2 will always be amazing.
I miss Sandy Ravage. Mfer used to run around the map and still get 2 nukes a game. Never had to play cautiously
AA12+ACR+Camping... Really good 😂
Great video ❤
The insta back out was hilarious
Damn we grew old and never goin back to the golden era of cod 💔
Going for MOABs in MW3 with specialist was much more fun than camping/tubing for nukes in MW2. 25 gun/equipment kills only was the way to go.
i love seeing you panic
Last couple minutes was so nerve racking lol
God those noobtubes are giving me PTSD. 😂
Handler scared for noobtubes and one man army for 18 minutes straight.mp4
Love the vid xd
The maps in the classic cods are soo much better! We were spoiled back then fellers
It's way too funny at the end. I'm pretty sure the guy that tried so hard noob tubing you was the 1 who instantly raged quit when you called the nuke 😂

Easiest nuke to get in cod history. The whole premise of it is to camp, get streaks, camp more and just dont get noob tubed.

Best cod ever
as a kid i loved going for nukes
Those big brains jukes at 12:43 were impressive.
The sound of the chopper gunner shooting will never be matched. The steady fire of the new ones is just wack compared to that double tab sound.
i feel the exact same when dropping nukes because my luck is I made a mistake and look the wrong way or something like that
Yes the nukes
Handler saying its easy to get a NUKE 🤣
MW2 was my first online COD and back in those days I didn't even know you could shoot down ait support 🤣
The sound of the Harrier Strike is giving me ptsd.
Cod CEO this day and age, 'we have made a massive misstake releasing a cod that is fun to play for more then a Year'
I wouldve said that im sad to see people not playing newer cods, but honestly I don't blame them. (Plus im also kinda starting to like it! The og sounds scream nostalgia😂)
Literally seconds away from death @ 16:30 lmaooo
I think FFAs popularity dipped when the games started favoring camping, FFA used to be a bunch of people running around basically getting into 1v1v1v1's lol. It used to be occasional campers, now its essentially every game someones trying to camp. Ruins the fun.

The MW2 noobtube sound gives me PTSD
16:23 them noobtubes giving handler ptsd
greatest game of all time
I miss everyone using noob tubes. Good times.
Now next video "Nuke With Pistol" 🤣😤🤔🔥
i love how even handler looks like a bot in the older games
I Needa Hop Back On MW2 😢
Legendary game
1:22 yeah FFA used to be my favorite game mode in COD4. But you could actually move around the map in FFA in the older games; in the new games you can't move around the maps even in the team modes, and FFA just makes that worse.
Best game ever
I have 38 thousand hours played on cod since 2003 . 18 hours on infinite warfare deleted and played mwr for a year
I played it again and my gripes with it were that visibility was pretty bad and the ironsights get blurry sometimes when you ads
Nice gun streak especially on this game killstreaks carry
The input lag seems really annoying, it gets in the way even when you use the chopper gunner.
She tell me that I get her high 'cause an angel's s'posed to fly, and
I ain't askin' "Why?" no more
Oh, no, I take it if it's mine, I don't stay inside the lines
It ain't 2009 no more
Can you so me what you got on that Red and Black Acr please
Please do more MW2 ❤❤
The opposition in your matches is actually pretty good. I see a lot of other players getting braindead opponent for their nukes.
