  • In retrospective, we’re going to dive into each Modern Warfare game in the Trilogy. We’re going to look at the masterful craftsmanship of each game. The supreme command over pacing, and how the rollercoaster each game embodies is so fine-tuned. We’re going to look at how this craftsmanship allows the developers’ ambition to shine through, as the series pushes to amaze, excite, and even horrify you.
    The original Modern Warfare Trilogy is the perfect storm of talent and ambition.
    Chapter Breaks:
    1:27 Modern Warfare
    29:43 Modern Warfare 2
    1:17:17 Modern Warfare 3

    Marine veteran here. You are correct about churches. Under the Geneva Conventions of 1949, they are considered "indispensable to civilian survival" and objects used for worship (like a Quran or rosary beads) are given the same importance and protection as medical supplies.

    Flashback scenes like All Ghillied Up are perfect for heavily scripted moments. It allows you to play the memory, while it plays the exact same every time, as if it's unchanging, like how history is. Flashback missions are the best possible use case for scripted missions

    When I initially played COD4:MW when I was 9, my game bugged out and wouldn't let me leave the helicopter. I was just left, stuck on a burning helicopter with the half conscious, bloodied body of a fellow marine. Eventually, I just decided to wait, watching the sparking lights on a fusebox in the helicopter. All I could see of the outside world was a small window, showing nothing but a mushroom cloud. It let me sit there and think about what just went down. After about a minute , the game just let the character bleed out and everything fade. For the longest time, I thought this bugged moment was actually how it was designed, and I still think it felt perfect. A dying marine, simply watching the sparks on a broken helicopter light up, indulging in his thoughts for a little while until death. It wasn't until around 2018 when my buddies and I played CoD4:MW Remastered that I realized what I experienced was a glitch that still fit the storytelling perfectly

    I think the big difference between the original trilogy and newer cods is “show don’t tell”- in the originals you don’t need to be told that taking the gloves off is messy, like price having to tell that to gaz/player. Instead you see stuff like ghost about to torture Rojas and price detonating a nuke

    • @calvinfishermedia

    There is actually a reason as to why MW3's ending is abrupt, a day before this video was uploaded, someone was able to restore a deleted post-credits scene in which Price sees a unknown character entering the Hotel after killing Makarov, after the unknown character leaves Price passes out and seemingly dies, the screen fades to black and the OP Kingfish photo is shown afterwards.
    Unfortunately nobody really knows what this scene was supposed to mean, who the unknown character is or why the scene was cut in the first place. I have seen some say it was Death taking Price's body although it sounds a bit weird imo, while others say it was a tease for an unreleased MW4 that got replaced by Ghosts.
    Either way i thought it would be interesting to talk about this.

    You're actually pretty spot on, Shepard and Sandman have history, as they were all part of an operation that happened between MW1 and MW2, called Operation Kingfish. This is hinted at in Soap's Journal that you get as part of MW2's collector's edition, in the form of a photo of the group before the Op. As well as a prequel movie that was released, called Find Makarov: Operation Kingfish. You should check it out

    One thing I’ve always noticed about modern warfare one, is how the Americans go into the Middle East, full of bravado thinking that it will be very easy to find Al-Asad. It’s telling that they have no reason to be there, and one of the first things you see in the American campaign is oil rigs and derricks. The Marines are brutally killed by insurgents, and although they technically have the better fire power - they are nearly always at a disadvantage.
    They attack a tv station, and Al-Sad was never there. They then have to rescue a tank miles off where it’s meant to be, and only barely do so. They have to wait with said tank all night, presumably not getting any rest. Finally they then have to escort the tank through busy streets, constantly being flanked and dogged by untrained terrorists wielding very old weaponry. Finally they attack Al-Sad’s palace, saving an outnumbered squad and a downed pilot - for then thousands to be killed by a Soviet era warhead.
    My point is that in many respects, it was showing how this has happened so many times. A bigger, seemingly more powerful nation (who had no right to be there) to be totally overran by an technologically inferior enemy.

    You mentioned that you don’t know why Price trusts Sandman. That’s because you left some important parts of the story out. 1, Operation Kingfish which was a short film about TF141 attempting to hunt down Makarov. In the film Sandman and Frost are seen as a Delta force sniper team working with TF141 on the operation. Also this shows how Price was captured in the first place and sent to the gulag. 2, mile high club. Mile high club is one of the first operations TF141 does and at the end of the mission they rescue a hostage who gives them intel on Makarov. Not too important to the story but still gives TF141 some lore that pieces everything together. Also a side note is that it seems to be implied that MW2019 was originally meant to be a MW trilogy prequel but was later turned into a reboot with them setting it in the modern day. That’s just unconfirmed piece of information that I think people should look into because it starts to make sense. I mean really all they had to do was change the year from the early 2000s to 2019, change Gaz from white to black and make him younger, and then change some various other details.

    How I think the "shock" scene from MW3 could've been better, still including the family, would've been to show their vacation. Their house still in tatters from the war in the states (haven't played MW3 in a while, I think they're American) and such they take a vacation to get from the destruction. They arrive, recording the airport, the trip to their destination, visits around London and just bits around the hotel room, getting to know the family. Overcoming losses while the kids sleeps, having fun in another environment, bit like this. The way it would be shown could've been between missions. Before or maybe even after each mission brief. Starting at the start of the game, all the way up to this point.
    Then the bomb.
    Have the van near miss them as they cross a narrow street, heading to Big Ben. Have the husband or wife react to the driver with choice words as the van disappears down the narrow street. The cuss to each other as they walk off. Then the bomb detonates. The parents fall as the affect of the gas soon castles them. Its a slow, painful scene to watch as the parents are on the floor riding in pain. Through the smoke the little kid's silhouette is seen stumbling. Forward coughing, crying. The parents fall silent as the kid fall into her mothers arms, vegging her for help before silence falls upon the family. Distant panicking heard before that too soon falls quiet as the gas takes them. Leaving the camera recording for a while. Still on the family, lead there.
    Far more affective I think. I get the unrealistic nature of the child standing longer than her parents, but come on. From what the game throws at us prior to this event.

    Mw2 is the perfect fps story to me because it wholly encapsulates two of the top storyline types and does so to near perfection you get the high octane james bond esc escapades of task force 141 which borders on the ridiculous then the grounded patriotic defense of the homeland specifically the mission where you storm the white house in a race against the clock is a showcase moment

    Price trust sandman is because of operation kingfisher which was a short film.
    Edit, you should also pay a bit more attention to the radio in the background of the delta missions in mw3, especially in iron lady. Also with that mission i found lower difficulty setting ruin what it was going for but it comes accross super well on higher difficulties as you more or less start seeing huge numbers of russian vehicles and soldiers pouring in and start to feel hopeless only for the airsupport to rip through destroying the remaining supports of the tower while hitting the russians as the people on the ground are more important.

    As much as I would like to agree with this whole take, I disagree with the last third of the video.
    MW3 was meant to show how the entire globe was now active. You’re not going to see vibrant greens, blues, yellows. It’s going to be burning, burnt, and destroyed. Very little color shows how bad things have become, it’s war and war is hell.
    Explosives are abundant especially in a warzone. So seeing the explosives go off constantly shows how who we are playing as aren’t in control of the situation.
    Maybe I’m looking at it from a logical standpoint or I’m nitpicking.

    Modern Warfare 3 is not the game it should've been and could've been, because Infinity Ward fired almost all the talents behind COD4 and MW2, and then out sourced MW3 to 10 different companies to help them make ends meet with it.
