Which COD Campaign is your favorite and why is it Black Ops 2?
COD4 hands down
play yakuza 0 and persona 4 golden
What makes you think itâs black ops 2?
my pee pee is hard
Black ops 1, love REZONV. A character which I think is underrated as well is BOWMAN
Whenever I buy a COD game I always prioritize the campaign first before jumping into multiplayer. Iâm one of those mythical beings who actually buys COD for the campaign.
Russians: Welcome to the club buddy
(Because of Russian pirates many gamers in Russia couldnât play multiplayer so everyone knows COD for good campaign)

Same here!!!
Right there with you, man.

Goddamn Reznov has some dank dialogue
@@TheActMan Damn right he does
@@TheActMan can u do why Bioshock 1 is awesome or a masterpiece
Definitely kick some ass
@@TheActMan umm Act Man. I know your not gonna answer, but what is your favorite game, and favorite halo game? Mine is halo 3.
I remember in black ops 2 when you have to chance to kill the âhooded menendezâ I shot him right in the head out of pure anger and hatred for the character only to find out the it was mason under the hood which led my heart to sink. âWhat have I doneâ
Man, I didn't even think how could he be alive in 2025 if we killed him in the past.
same :(
I shot him in the crotch twice which helped save Mason but I still got the bad ending due to Karma getting shot up.
I was sure it was Mason and I tried killing the two guys holding him but it said that my actions compromised the mission or whatever, so I thought there was no other way than killing Mason...
When I first played that mission, I was about to shoot him, but then I realized, wait, how come he's alive in the future if I killed him in the past. I got the good ending on my first playthrough.
Funniest thing in BO:2
"Mason, this is Section."
"And Section, this is your fucking dad!"
*"What?"*
Same
Finished the game twice with killing Mason until I saw it on a CZcams video titled "How to save Alex Mason in Black Ops 2" And I watched the video and immediately headed back in this time Alex Mason is still alive

Not having âTrain go boomâ in your campaign, for starters.
Thatâs what makes it bad
I wanna have a lot of a likes when this comment gets a thousand likes
Train go boom
Tontza420 outcome: Train go boom
Hahaha train go boom
The original black ops still is my favorite call of duty campaign of all time, no other cod campaign made me feel that....
Same bro. Black Ops 1 to me, had such a fun masterpiece story of a campaign, and will always be my favorite as well!
I love I but black ops 2 is better in my opinion
I really dig the 60âs vibe of BO1, and the awesome Easter Asian locations at night of MW1
It's my favorite Black ops campaign,but COD all together: MORDERN WARFARE 2 motherf**ka.RANGERS LEAD THE WAY
I prefer the MW stories
Fun little fact about All Ghillied Up, itâs so slow paced and tense that itâs possible to use only your primary sniper without reloading, so long as youâre not detected. And you get a nice achievement for not reloading if you pull this off :)
Every gamer : no reload even one bullet? Nooooooooooooo
That mission is one of the most memorable for me
Know what would be faster?
Switching to your pistol.
I bought world at war first for my first call of duty, it was badass, and when I got the chance to play cod4 all ghillied up mission, I felt like I was there, tense and scary, also don't forget when the enemy BTR and tank comes right by you
Just get a guy that constantly yells â RAMIREZâ and bam , you got a good cod campaign
ya mean Sgt. Foley?
RAMIREZ!!! Shoot down that helicopter with this spatula from the Burger Town.
Ramirez! Protect the burger town!
Ramirez! Make me a burger and fries while you protect the burger town!
RAMIREZ! Take out that BTR with this briefcase!
I didnât mind the slow pace in no Russian. The sheer shock and horror of it all kept me glued to the screen.
Exactly. The first time I was playing through the level, I was too hyped up from the previous mission to pay attention, but on the second play through, I played attention, and I was like holy shit
They were doing slaughter that shocked me
what me!? Yeah. A decade later. Of course weâre desensitized to it. But back then it was fucking unreal.
I was confused I was like what the hell just happened
Thereâs no way I would be distracted by anything during No Russian. The sheer awe of what I was doing was just... No way to take me away from it. Not even taking my headphones off, still fully immersed.
"What makes a good cod campaign?"
Having Avenged Sevenfold is a start.
Or ussr national anthem at the end
Finishing main villain with pistol, knife or bare hands
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME HOW WE STIIIIIIIIIIIIL CARRY OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!!!!!
The amount of âslow mo, ears ringing while a guy shouts at you after you have a close explosionâ cut scenes is so groan inducing
"black ops 1 needs a movie adaptation"
behold the realest fact ive heard in a long time
It is sort of like the Matrix, first one was awesome, 2nd and 3rd, wtf did we just watch?
@@Marinealver 2nd black ops was awesome though
The game was already a good enough movie
COD zombies needs a TV adaptation
Do we need another great video game turned mediocre movie adaptation? Also, Street Fighter 2: The Animated Movie is the BEST movie adaptation of a great video game.
I'm still hearing this till today.
"Dragovich. Kravchenko. Steiner. All must Die."

So... did you stop hearing it?
P.S. I know I'm late and I know it's from Cod:BO

@@dba6097 but you do understand that kravchenko, dragovitch, Steiner, must die right?

Raycevick got ya covered
I thought he already did that?
Me who is waiting for why was infinite warfare so mediocre or bad
Charlie Craig felt.
We need why was cod 4 a masterpiece
the vendetta mission in WAW is truly a masterpiece. The amount of stress, brutality, soundtrack and sniping is so great.
And the sniper battle is so intense. I always jump out of my skin when the German sniper fires at the start, to when youâre looking for him, to the moment when you kill him.
I 100% agree. That mission was so amazing. It was truly immersive and I luv it
@@paljitsingh354 True after you kill the general, the game doesn't let you to celebrate. The tank fires straight at you that's so cool. It shows there is no time to celebrate in battlefield
Aye. Have you all tried to take the sniper out with a pistol? I know it wasn't an achievement but I did. It took me a few hours of dying and respawning.
Oh my God that's so nostalgic, I remember my dad saying, "Glub Glub Glub, you drowned" when you jumped into the water at the end
A Call of duty game is so important with a campaign because it makes the game have a setting, a theme, a meaning, a place and time where and when the game takes place that truly defines what the game is gonna be about. Making the game way more interesting and just way more fascinating to play with a campaign!
Remember That time Sergei Impaled that guy with a pickaxe in bo1
"I cannot stand 'TAKEDOWN'"
"its clausterphobic and full of chaos"
Well, its Brazil after all
Well Brazil is famous for their milita so it was realistic
That mission gave me PTSD after spending hours completing it on veteran getting raped by hand grenades and loud Spanish speaking men
@@malum1424 They speak Portuguese, just saying.
@@anthonyguiness9 yeah, problem is, for non-native spanish and portuges speakers, its kinda hard to tell the difference (even me, who my language is based on Spanish, aka Filipino)

Good: âTurns out youâre a lousy shot.â

Train go boom is the most interesting and rememberable line of dialogue in bo3.

My only big problem with MW 2019âs campaign is that thereâs no missions where you play as just a soldier. Youâre always playing a these tier 1 operators. I liked CoD 4 because instead of the story jumping between individuals it was instead jumping between factions. As the SAS you were this tier 1 operator going on secret missions, but as the Marines you were just any other grunt fighting a war. In MW 2019 thereâs only two missions where I feel like a grunt. Hunting Party-my favorite-and the one where you take the airbase from the Russians alongside Farah and her militia. I just feel like the story wouldâve been so much better if Gaz was the one doing all the covert missions while the war fighting was done as a soldier. I also wish that instead of playing as Alex in the first mission we shouldâve played as a Raider and died alongside the others.
I agree with that and thatâs the reason why I always preferred Rangers over TF 141
@@NoName-hy6xj I actually really like TF141. It adds a lot to the charm of the universe. An international, top tier military group made up of the best handpicked warriors on the planet is really cool in my opinion and strikes a good balance between being both believable and being a little far-fetched. MW2 and MW3 was definitely way too action movie-ish, but I feel like the next MW can really bring some realism to the group.
@@neuracast4739 yes I think that mw2019 is one of my top 5 best CoDs
Alex was with rebels it was definitely not tier 1 shit unless youâre talking about that American feeling in hunting party which yeah I miss
Yeah being just a guy would be sick. It's like in battlefield 3 where you alone try to fight off hundreds of enemies with a machine gun on a tank, but get captured and recorded and executed. It's seems to be inspired by cod 4 but also connects to real events and shows the cruelty of your enemy
Listening to your section about Blops 1 in Vorkuta, it made me realize that Reznov became just as villainous as the ones he was trying to kill. He literally sacrificed the entire POW camp of Vorkuta just to get one man out. You. Thousands of men, dead, just to get his re-programmed puppet back into the world so he can continue this revenge plan in his stead. He talks about brotherhood, but was it REALLY there? Did he really care about Mason? Did he really care about the other Russian soldiers in the prison camp? I believe they were simply tools to him, all there to help him forward his plan for revenge.
Reznov was never a hero in WaW, Chernov was. Reznov relishes in the slaughter of Germans. You have times in the story where it gives you the option to brutally execute POWâs such as herding them down some steps to a closed off railway then throwing a Molotov at them. Resnov encourages this behaviour the entire game while Chernov discourages it. The game has 3 different endings depending on your actions. You can be seen by Chernov as a true hero, a conflicted light or utter disdain that youâre like Reznov.
Nikolai in zombies and Chernov have the same model too.
Well he does in vorkuta sooo....
To be fair, it's a gulag. They would all have died anyway, and I'm pretty sure getting shot is better than beaten to death and eaten by your own comrades
Iâm in the thumbnail
Thank you Act Man you make us all proud
Microtransactions have claimed the money of many gamers
No longer
URA!!!
Don't worry, Reznov. I will take care of Dragovich, Kravchenko and Steiner
The Act Man Beat they ass
The Act Man donât worry reznov Iâll take care of masons legs
EA, Activision, Bethesda, these.. developers... must die.
The best cod campaigns are the ones that aren't cod ww2
Better than Black Ops 3âs campaign
Or BO3
@Retendo Naw bro it was shit
Bo4 campaign was better than bo3 imo
@Roniixx ok campaign? Full on "Murica is the best" type of campaign
Its a disgrace from the WW2 legacy WaW gave to us. WaW has a campaign that doesn't pick sides, I could've wished they let you play at least for a mission what it would be like to be a german soldier.
Youâre missing out, CoD 1 and 2 are some bloody great campaigns. I understand they may not be super relevant today, but they are worth a play through or 2
Im very certain hes played every cod game
@@davidbanan. I think you're right. It looks I watched this last year I saw the bit at 1:00 "besides these" and didn't realize he was referring to video reviews, not playthroughs. My bad.
CoD 1 and 2 have some of the greatest campaigns ever. There is much tension in these and the fighting mechanics are great. And most of all, it's boots-on-the-ground, no-soldier-fights-alone!
@@williampitt1537 That last point is exactly what I love about them! Not this super-soldier save the world BS that every FPS does nowadays

World at War is my favorite. The game is so dark and depicts WW2 much more realistically compared to any other game based on the war. Plus Reznov and Dimitri are awesome. But Iâll never forgive World at War after making it through Downfall on Veteran difficulty. It took me 3 hours to make it past the second checkpoint.
Dude same
My biggest challenge was at the final battle on the roof of the Reichstag. All those interlapping machine guns, Panzershrecks, and grenades were just so f*cking crazy to beat. And I was on Recruit difficulty during that!
The first check point on veteran took me 1 hourđđ
The Call of Duty World at War soundtrack always gets me.
One of the best soundtracks for a game released yet.
@Rahat Zaman HALO?
@I am a mag main never played halo myself, but i love OST's and my god halo is a masterpiece. Go listen to halo 3 extended theme, it's out of this world.
And if you're a lover of such music (ost) check out Titanfall 2's theme song as well.
I love world at war but one of the best soundtracks yet? Not even close. There are quite a few games that I'd say definitely have better soundtracks.
One of my fav killstreaks too. "Release the dogs!"

World at War did amazing things with its soundtrack. Youâd never think electric guitar and WWII go together but omg did Treyarch do it
*SABATON WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION*
That black cats mission tho, the B A S S
*FOR THE GRACE, FOR THE MIGHT OF OUR LORD*
Boldmens city is the one that stuck in my head besides the black cats one
That and the "die soldier" menu theme
i just watched this after english class and im pretty sure this is the perfect argumentative essay.
I completely agree with the take you have on the importance of music within the gameplay. My favorite memory was playing Crash Site in Black Ops, driving the boat down the river while blowing up numerous enemies while listening to Symphony for the Devil đ
âMission failed, weâll get them next timeâ
Most iconic death sequence in gaming history. Haunts me to this day...
If it's a death sequence and you're dead, why would the guy have any reason to say that over the comms to you?

"It might be hard for the youngins out there to imagine this but, I remember when Call of Duty campaigns were something that most people who bought the game actually played."
What I like most about the classic Call Of Duty games (going up to BO2) was that the cutscenes were never ass-numbingly long. They usually only consisted of a recap of the plot so far, or a mission debriefing. The rest of the story would be told through the gameplay which was honestly all we needed. The idea for longer cutscenes I believe started in BO2 and really doubled down by BO3.

Something I noticed is that the campaigns with a multi game story building up the story like mw and waw to b02 instead of the more one off games seemed better and made you more attached to the characters
Act Man is right about the soundtrack. To this day I still listen to the Juggernaut walk in Dust to Dust, Cordia Die theme, the F/A-38 flight pieces , Numbers, so many great pieces of music that really added to the game
I like realism, thats why I love when I kill an enemy in BO3 and he turns into crows instead of bleeding
Roniixx but not explain any of the story during the actual missions
There are some lines from Cod campaigns I'll never forget.
"Skewer the Winged beast!"
"Remember, no Russian"
But by far the best one I have ever heard was from BO2
"NO!"
âBravo 6, going darkâ

âWe are the strongest military force in the history of man. Every fight is our fight. Because what happens over here matters over there. We donât get to sit one out. Learning to use the tools of modern warfare is the difference between the prospering of your people, and utter destruction. We canât give you freedom, but we can give you the know-how to acquire it. And that my friends is worth more than a whole army base of steel. Sure it matters whoâs got the biggest stick, but it matters a heck of a lot more whoâs swinging it. This is a time for heroâs. A time for legends. History is written by the victors. Letâs get to work.
The music of Call of duty IW is really awsome. Even the campaign is smooth af like the cutscene and character development for ethan was good. Speacially in the scene in Operation Burn Water when nick and ethan are left behind, we feel emotionally attached with both of them..
I still think a campaign based on the Fighting in Papua New Guinea and South East Asia would be awesome for a WW2 CoD game playing as the ANZACs in PNG and Ghurkas in South East Asia. Maybe one of the missions being a turret defence playing as an AA gunner during the Bombing of Darwin (the largest attack by a foreign power against Australia) or maybe the pilot of a CAC Boomerang.
Playing âTakedownâ on veteran is one of the worst experiences in a cod campaign.
That mission was such a bitch to complete.
@ăă€ă〠i dont remember Loose Ends being that hard on veteran, but it took me a few tries to get to the end of the mission becuase of trying to outrun the rocket launchers and the cluster fucks.
@ăă€ă〠But the worst part of Loose Ends, is after you beat the mission, all you get is Roach and Ghost getting shot by Shepherd, which makes beating Loose Ends feel very less satisfying, for me at least.
Facts
I broke a controller on it last week
I always loved the way Reznov talked about Dragovich, Krevchenko, and Steiner with such venom in his voice. Even when he says, "These... men, must die," he says it with such malice as if the very idea of calling them men is anathema. Truly stellar direction and acting by Treyarch and Gary Oldman.
Or reluctance, like he doesn't want to give them the honor of being called men but knows no better word
Hey ActMan, have you ever gave a thought of reviewing the older CoDs (I'm thinking about 1 and 2 and their expansions)? In my opinion, it would really be interesting to see how the franchise started and what were its roots.
Fun fact! In MW remastered, you can kill Makarov in One Shot One Kill.
Wait until the wind dies down. Youâll know when because MacMillan will tell you that itâs your last chance. Shoot Zakaev, then turn to Makarov and kill him. Youâll get an achievement called âTime Paradoxâ. You can also shoot Yuri, but it will say that friendly fire will not be tolerated
16:23 Actual marines reviewed no russian and said that they would be firing with the LMG's lying down because of their weight so it's a miracle the characters are even walking so it's no wonder why it's slow. Plus this adds more tension.
I guess that's true
@@TheActMan also walking makes the player think about what they're doing. If they're just running and gunning, it feels like every other mission, but to have to walk slowly over the bodies of innocent people you just slaughtered, it makes the player contemplate if what they're doing is even right, and being killed at the end of the mission hit different at least for me, realising that all the killing I had just contributed to did nothing to help the situation at hand.
You should only be firing the M240B with the bipod down. It would be nearly impossible to should and fire the weapon with a belt it as it weighs around 25 pounds.
You saw that video too
@@YOUfailME911 it weighs 27.1 lbs unloaded.
I will always love the intra-mission cutscenes in World at War. They made it feel like I was playing a History Channel documentary about WW2
Bug Red One had the Military Channel make those. Had the logo and everything
I love how both games had those intro scenes. I just hope Warner Bros and/or Disney make sure of a war story-driven animated shows with intros like those.
I remember taking Amsel out with the Walther when I was like 8đ€Łđ€Łđ€ŁI wanted that trophy so bad and it took me a good couple hours. Thatâs my favourite cod besides cod 4. So many memories with those. I would live a remaster
@@killswitchuncaged2158 Did Reznov say the "no scope" quote while you were playing the level?
Absolutely. It really made it better knowing the levels were based on actual battles.
Iconic and Badass Characters that are fun to hang out with, Variety of weapons and scenarios, a story line that will have people referencing it a decade later,
Another thing I noticed in the cods post-BO2 have the main enemy faction with generic names with generic goals. Ghosts had the Federation, a South Americana facist military regiume. AW had the KVA, a global terrorist organization with bio-weapons. Bo3 had the NRC and CDP, a Coalition of countries.
And all of their goals are never explained. No one knows why the Federation invaded the USA, or what the KVA's name stand for, and why are we fighting the coaltions in Bo3.
I think the reason why the older and memorable Cods enemies are better is because it's either the Axis Powers, an agency of the enemy during a Cold War, or a militia with explained goals. We fought Menendez because he was a psycho who wanted revenge for his sister. Shepherd was a corrupt general who wanted to restore American imperialism. Jonathon Irons was a meglomaniac who thinks he can bring peace in the world by controlling it. But when you have someone like Taylor going rogue because he killed a character we never knew nor cared about, the German officer who killed American prisoners, or General Barkhov who is just a horrible person, we don't care about why we're gonna kill them nor are we going to be satisfied when we kill them because we're being forced to.
Underrated comment
That moment in the WaW mission Heart of the Reich where you charge towards the Reichstag is my favorite memory on WaW. That campaign changes you on Veteran.
Grenades.. oh here some more thrown at ya.
PTSD....
They should arm you with a cricket bat for all the grenade spam.
I beat it on veteran... I still wake up in the middle of the night to tink tink sounds...
Nah man.
Blowtorch and corkscrew on veteran makes you a man.
That mission is the definition of insanity
"For three days, I have hunted him. For three days, luck alone has saved his wretched life"
Hide, he is my spirt animal.
"Sniping your enemy is like hunting any other animal. Fire at the wrong moment and your chance will be forever lost. Patience, if we reveal our position to Amsel's men, this fountain will be our grave."
Iâve been binge watching act mans cod videos over the past two days. Havenât had this much fun since playing one in the chamber on hijacked with the bios back in the day
COD 2 has my favourite campaign. Just the loading screen with the diary of the soldier you played is the feature I wish COD kept. The edited image of a renactor in gear who grows a beard or gets dirtier when selecting missions in one of the 3 campaigns it's honestly my favourite.
From those you covered in your video I would have to say WAW,BO1,BO2, All of the MWs except the reboot, BO3, AW, WW2,Ghosts
Yeaah, I miss the loading screen with the load cartridges on the side of the soldier's journal. I also miss the cold breeze on the Eastern front, it made the battle feel even more desperate. Good times.

"Black ops I needs a movie adaption"
Me realize most of the game that has the movie adaptions are bad: "No sir, better keep it on that away"
Honestly I think if anyone could pull off a BO1 movie, it would be Christopher Nolan. Something about his ability to present âmind-fuckâ themes in certain movies, with a good cast as well, makes me think he could do a good job as showing Alexâs struggle with the numbers and mixing up events and shit
The only black ops I don't like is four
With different camera angles and inserting existing player models in third person could give you the movie in the game itself
it might work, and yeah if Christopher Nolan is on the project it will certainly work.
Detective Pikachu and Sonic are good video game movies.
Need for Speed is decent is you like the Need for Speed games.
"Same shit, different day". I still mourn the death of Soap MacTavish. :'(
I used to play dust to dust so much Iâd complete the mission and then play it again and again it was so damn fun
âWhat makes a great Call of Duty campaign?â

Yes. Having the main antagonist appear in a end credit scene where heâs not only good and alive, but he fucking plays along A7X where everyone is just jamming out together.
Personally I liked it! I thought it was awesome having avenge sevenfold perform with the characters we love

Feel like call of duty shouldnât be a yearly franchise. One should come out every two years or so so they can have time to polish and make the game good.
Agree with you, so you wouldnât have a game like ghost XD
the sad thing about video games now is that people want more faster rather then letting the devloper take its time and give a good polished game thats why halo 1 2 3 odst and reach were so god damn good, these games took 3 plus years each even more to make. And honestly i wont be suprised if campigns are gone in the next 10 years

A lot of flawed/terrible games have godforsakenly AWESOME soundtracks. Try Assassin Creed III's Main Theme/Main Theme Variation (which can fit in CoD due to Lorne Balfe composing it).
@@michaelandreipalon359 sonic 06 is the literal epitome of this concept.
WTF S4NS Let em know. IW overall was a great game and didnât deserve the hype beast hate train it got
@WTF S4NS People should stop using "gay" in a negative context that don't make sense. I mean, I'm straight, but four of my fave Cartoon Network characters are actually lesbians/bisexuals (in other words, they're Adventure Time's Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum and Marceline Abadeer AND Steven Universe's Ruby and Sapphire). Even some real world wartime gamechangers like Alan Turing (the man responsible for breaking the Nazi encryption code called "Enigma") and Alexander the Great (yes, as in the young Macedonian genius who toppled the Persian Empire and led an important expedition to India) are actually gay men who done revolutionary things in war and its peacetime legacies.
@WTF S4NS I really enjoy the campaign.
That bo2 menu musicâŠ.it puts you in a trance man. When you play it in the background you can pick it out so well.
Black Ops will forever be my #1. That mission jumping across the rain soaked rooftops as Hudson dual wielding fully auto CZ-75âs trying to escort Dr. Clark? CoD donât get better than that

Cringalicious yes.
You will now be incorrect every time.
can you think that like everyday then
The end of MW3, when Cpt. Price smokes a cigar while staring at Makarovâs hanging dead body, thinking about the friend he lost to fulfill his ultimate mission... I felt that.
I heard you talking about "Motivation" and i know you kind of care about historical accuracy, so in CoD WWII, there is no motivation, because they're fighting for no reason or at leaast a reason they don't know or care about I think that's why sledghammer didn't bother with motivation.
I kind of like CoD WWII i don't kow why.

What makes a great campaign is the setting and story telling. Also the impact of the characters to the player.
Andrew #4 and the seriousness of said characters. You cant have characters that are goofy
COD moments we'll never forget:
-Taking the Reichstag
-Climbing up Pointe du Hoc
-Destroying Rommel's Tanks
-Fighting with the French Resistance
-Dethroning Al-Asad
-Crawling wthrough Chernobyl
-Using an AC-130
-Sniping Nazis in Stalingrad with Reznov
-Pushing through Pacific islands
-Infiltrating a Russian base through the arctic storm
-No Russian
-Fending off the invasion of D.C.
-Knifing General Shepard
-Assassinating Castro's double
-Meeting President Kennedy
-Jungle Ops in Vietnam
-Breaking out of Vorkuta
-Remembering the numbers just in time to stop WW3
-ZOMBIES
(This is when I stopped playing, but I know there are many more COD moments we'll never forget).
Still got the "Escaping from Vorkuta" theme stuck in my head
- Waking up in a fountain
-The nuke detonation scene
The infiltration of the Russian base in mw2 was actually in the Altai mountains
Price kicking Yuri down the stairs, rhyming, and learning about Yuri's backstory
Sniping mason unknowingly in bo2
At 13:38, I recommend the level "Liberators" from cod 2 Big Red One! In that level you're in a huge bomber throughout the entire level and you have to alternate between all the guns to defend the plane! You use the nose, tail, underneath ball turrets, and even the little bomb section at the front to ACTUALLY drop bombs down on the land below you! It's a super rad level and when there's no music playing, the sound of the big plane's low rumble and the wind is eerily cozy!
I love big red one and it's still to this day my favorite cod! I feel like cause its an older cod that many people sleep on it, but it was incredible experience at the time of early ww2 shooters and its very special to me! Good times! †:')
Also, most of the cods overall have great soundtracks! Mw2 especially with Hanz Zimmer's badass theme as you kick ass! I really like cod ww2s theme too! That heroic brass is absolutely amazing! Good stuff! đđ»
i love how bo2 zombies origins uses bo1's "every journey begins with a single step, this is step one! SECURE THE KEY" quote and every other step as you progress through rounds

@@cosmickeyboard9811 Sorry, MW2 is Mechwarrior 2 buddy.
Modern Warfare 2019 brought me back to CoD. The OG BLOPS is still one of my all time favorites
All your cod vids are so well done, thanks for making them.
Looks to me that focusing on new dog models aren't the way to go
DON'T YOU DARE TALK SHIT ABOUT MY DYNAMIC FISH AI, BRO
Maybe they should focus their attention on the physics of fish swimming away from the player next time. Kinda like Nintendo did in Mario 64.
@@TheActMan WHAT ABOUT THE STORY
In WaW it didnât just give you a good story but you feel every emotion and every vibe and thatâs a huge thing That made it so memorable
Yeah itâs my favourite campaign ever
Artemios Moraitakis IMO there were too many to the point where it was actively trying to be dark.
Orrrrrrrrrrrr itâs because you played it as a little kid
the genuine shock when either Roebuck or Polonsky dies still lives on in my mind
Molly Muncher dam right and I still do, just because someone is young doesnât mean what they have to say holds no value
WAW, BO1 and BO2 were gorgeous and will always be my alltime favs
12:39 never expected damned to play in the background of an act man campaign video but holy shit i love it
Honestly what really does make a cod campaign is exactly what Act Man said âDOG MODELâ
I bet the guy who let the act man sponsor "frag pro shooter" has gun point blank at him while doing the sponsor
It was good when I played it but now it's just raid shadow legends 2: electric boogaloo

Vibe
I like the way Treyarch make COD games around real life events
WaW: ww2
Bo1: cold war
Bo2: cold war against china (kinda scary that there is tension between USA and china in 2020).
Yeah India The EU China Russia and America the will always have slight tensions between them even if some are allies
Only problem is in my opinion; starting from BO3 but especially in BO4 treyarchs games have been a complete mess. Unfortunately playing BO4 and the disaster it was/became really turns me off from whatever comes out this year
Modern missions in bo2 iirc happen around 2025
The cold war has been fought since the early 50's and still continuous through proxy wars and blacked out operations/CIA if you were to point out any war related incident and follow the money you could pinpoint the perpetrators. That's why bitcoin has skyrocketed cause of the untraceable footprint
Yeah but who would have thought Moltovs, and rubber bullets would be the weapons.
Cold War honestly had some very different missions that I really loved and deviated from traditional campaign chapters
Iâm glad you bought up Soundtrack/Theme. One thing that always bothered me was as a franchise Call of Duty doesnât have a theme.
Halo has a theme. Star Wars has a theme. Whatâs the theme to Call of Duty?
Even itâs series within the franchise donât share themes. Three different composers for each MW game for example doing their own thing. Thereâs no subliminal connection.
I feel like Modern Warfare's campaign was made to be played on realism, I want more missions that are focused on high tension slow gameplay where you need to have quick reaction time.
Realism sure was something
I played almost the whole game on Realism but I had to tone it down for the last mission as I actually spent so fucking long trying to get up the hill at the start and getting absolutely destroyed.
Or something like specialist like infinite warfare
The fact that me being slow enough to catch up to DeFalco as he flees Colossus or me failing to avoid the fire hitting Harper's face has consequences on how the story and interaction between the characters play out has me believe that Black Ops 2 is the peak CoD campaign.
Yeah stuff like that is what makes bo2 so cool!

25:25 THIS righ here. Show, don't tell. Actions speak louder than words and telling people who dangerous a villain is, is nowhere near as effective as showing them doing vile things.
