  • A full history of the Call of Duty franchise. From the original game in 2003, up to the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in 2019.
    Celebrate the release of the return of one of the most iconic shooter video game series of all time by learning what led up to this pinnacle moment.
    Join me as I detail each and every game, breaking down their development history, storyline, gameplay features, visuals, and their critical reception, all backed with each game's original soundtrack.

    Even the smallest donations help me make these videos! (I record all of my own footage and need to purchase several old games for the footage)
    This video in particular took me longer than any project I've ever worked on. I put a ton of passion and effort into this documentary - but even so, there are bound to be errors. Please feel free to let me know in the comments if you spot one! Also, special thanks to CasualKlutz for helping with some research and writing on the Treyarch games.
    Now sit back, grab a drink and enjoy the ENTIRE History of COD!

    You'll get early access to next months documentary, along with personalized shout-outs, behind the scenes videos and images, and with enough support - I can finally scale back those annoying ads so you guys can tune in and enjoy an uninterrupted experience.
    Thank you all for tuning in. This video took an absolutely insane amount of time to put together. I had to take my vacation last week just to record all of the footage here (which was up to 1.67 terabytes worth!) Also, shout out to my friend CasualKlutz for helping with some of the research/writing on the early treyarch games, along with some feedback on the script. Call of Duty is an incredible franchise, that spans 16 years now, and continues to dominate the sales charts every time. It's easy to say that each game is the same, but in reality - all of the studios involved put a ton of time and effort into trying to maintain this series, with new stories, new motion capture recording sessions, voice over, musical performances, visual overhauls, gameplay mechanics, multiplayer modes, and general features.
    I've been enjoying this series ever since I picked up the "Call of Duty: Warchest" collection for my PC back in 2005, and each year these studios continue to deliver well polished content. And to celebrate the series and its probable success with its upcoming Modern Warfare, I wanted to share my passion for this series with a documentary that details what makes each and every game distinct. So thank you again for tuning in and stay tuned for more documentaries like this in the future!

Also a possessive has an apostrophe so it would be "mom's" just an FYI (For your information). Imma is informal English though, so don't use that is actual essays or a thesis.

      L C I mean, maybe in terms of story. But the actual gameplay had its jam packed peak in black ops 3 and was exactly what I was looking for in a campaign. A newer difficulty setting, actual enemy types that aren’t just the same generic soldier, the ability to play levels however I liked, custom classes, etc. saying that the older games had more in terms of single player is a lie regardless of how much nostalgia you feel for it.

      Idc about campaign I'm talking about multiplayer. BO3's multiplayer is better than those 2 in every way. Better maps, better streaks, better weapon balance and class variety. Most agree with this considering BO3 was in the top 5 best CODs in Neroscinema's poll from May 2018, I can't find it now because the poll wasn't the topic of the vid but it barely beat COD4/MWR and WAW for 5th place. BO2, MW2, BO, and MW3 in that order were top 4 by a large margin

      The COD: Warchest was how I started with this series. I previously played Battlefield 1942 & Vietnam.. went to the store and say "Call of Duty" and though.. hmm.. that looks cool. And it immedietly delivered exactly what I was looking for... huge epic battles like Stalingrad and D-Day that I could replay and enjoy. Then I remember the COD4 trailer, and multiplayer beta and it was clear right then and there that Infinity Ward had something amazing coming.
      Those games deserve the time and attention to really expand, as they're fundamental and explaining how COD got to where it is today.

      @Arnaldo Gonzalez for multiplayer, the maps were absolutely trash and if the maps are trash, then the multiplayer isn’t going to be as enjoyable. Second they took out some features that they didn’t need too. They took out the prestige system, map voting, kick you out the lobby after every match. Small things but they add up. And what there really to grind for? Camos were also bad in this game, what I’m ths world is platinum compared to diamond. And Damascus? Lol. And back to what the maps did, not only did they make everyone camp more then usual, but they added mounting in the game and it was horrible. That provoked camping just as much. I mean I could go on and on about the cons, literally the only pros I can think about is the new engine felt good, and there was a 2v2 game mode. That’s about it lol
