To add to controller settings, so many "streamers" spam videos of "use this setup to get 99.9% accuracy" and "destroy your opponents with this loadout build" which is so annoying
Very much agreed
Dont forget the surprised face in the thumbnail
there are plenty that do it correctly but some just clickbait it
Bro it’s roller, just plug it in and the game will aim for you
I love those videos. Gives people false hope.
do you think streamers ruined call of duty?
Yes and no
To sweaty and many are hackers
Bad lol
@@floppastudios475sadly true especially in mw 2019 was the worst experience I ever have
Yes
I hate it when streamers get to play games early, especially in single-player games.
well single player was cool this year cuz it was the same time
The rad Brad for instance gets paid to be absolute crap at games and gets them given free days early at times lol. What a world.
@@matthewwilliams3827He's so bad at games somehow, when that's his actual job to play them. Haha
I think about when I first started playing COD. it was BO1 and I SUCKED. But that was the beauty of it, YOU learned. You weren’t assisted by streamers or influencers, it was more of an accomplishment than anything. Personally I think streamers ruined COD
AMEN
Dude, BO1 is one of two cods where I didn't suck, lol
Streamers started to make their content, players started to play more hardcore way and developers changed game mechanics according to the new trend. We all guilty.
I also sucked in BO1 but I was progressing the other way by destroying kill streaks which allowed to rack up XP and OG COD points to get new better weapons and perks
Assisted or not, its still you learning. This is a wildly egotistical and psychotic take. You cannot be serious, right? Are you just jealous that observing streamers can make people get better easier? I’m confused by this bc either way, you learned. Maybe there are people like myself who just got into cod recently (mw2022 was my first cod game) and we dont wanna drop 2 kills and 20 deaths every game. That’s boring and is NOT how you keep new players around.
If this video is just a needlessly bitching about other ppl learning differently, just chill cuz that’s a goofy ahh clown take bro
I am proud of my boy TDawg, that video was extremely well done.
Agreed
i told you i had plans j!
@@tdawgsmittynah bc you actually did amazing
Sad but true. These are reasons games like CoD with never be how they used to be
a lot reasons for sure
That’s why I stopped at left multiplayer at cod ww2 and the played I fire warfare to play the campaign and against bots to 1v1 my brother . The current cod and all new future cod games aren’t cod anymore let’s just get that right it’s now PFD ( pay for duty )
* infinite warfare *
Actually agree with this. COD now is full of jump shotting, quick-scoping, slide cancelling sweats. It's a terrible experience unless you can play all day every day.
Aye, don’t diss quick scoping😭
I play 1 or 2 hours a day and i can do the same, it’s just pressing one button, everyone can do it
“If you weren’t there you truly missed out” 😂
I did miss out😢
you had to be there
I played World at War in 2010 for the first time and I didn't know about Zombies. I remember being at middle school and being excited because my mom was finally going to let me buy it after school. Haha
Streamers are starting to sound like politicians...
I felt like I was getting in trouble with this title 😂My favorite part was Chapter 3 being an elaborate way of saying screw SBMM! When I sucked at COD I just died a bunch with no protection and now that I'm good I just get rewarded with playing demons.... Messed up 😭 Also great video as always boss!
Cry more what you think you can be the alpha and chill 😂😂😂
@@PureGrade999 did this dude really just say alpha unironically?
The reward of getting better over time was so fun. I miss those times. Now the better you do the worst KD you have LOL
The one thing I totally agreed with was the fact that as soon as a campaign is out for early access it’s all over social media and it sucks for people like me who can’t play yet
Yup, that is the unfortunate side of early access, but i do like that it allows us to play and take our time, rather then sprinting into MP or zombies
this is one of the greatest videos ive seen all year and you did all the editing in a day... amazing job tdawg
🙏
the problem is devs only listen to streamers, the main playerbase give complaints constantly and its always ignored till streamers start talking about stuff
What’s sad is cheaters kind of messed things up for the honest guys with true skills and made them do a SBMM format. It’s sad but Activision could’ve nip’d it in the bud so now we have sbmm as a solution. It’s sad as hell.
The problem doesn’t necessarily have to do with activison. The reason why there’s a rise in cheaters is due the fac the cheat software and hardware are more accessible than ever before. Cheaters were rarer back then because the accessibility of cheat software just wasn’t there as it is nowadays. Today, they are cheaper to produce and therefore they are able to distribute it to more people.
100%, Honestly probably the only good cod yt channel atm, good content, good host and good points of view. Keep making vids bro, youre doing great🙌
appreciate the words man!!
@@tdawgsmitty gotta give credit where its due brother, Respect💪
The "problem" is that nowadays the playerbase has more knowledge overall of the game so even the weakest player can hold it's own, that's why the lobbies are this hard. Take BO2 for example, it was one of the last CoD with "less knowledge" overall, not everyone did know that without "Toughness" the game was almost unplayable (yes, this is true, there was too much flinch without it that made it unplayable). If today players go back to BO2 you will never find a single class without "Toughness".
I definitely agree with that statement but I would also say because of sbmm we never ever see those people with less knowledge. Back in the day the lobbies were so random and that is what made it great.
@@tdawgsmitty Hey man, first time viewer here, love the video, you've earned a sub!
The funny thing about BO2 is that it was very obvious which guns were the meta tryhard guns (Remmington 870, PDW, MSMC, AN94, Skorpion, XM8A1) but even the off meta guns could be used to have fun and some non-meta guns were very powerful in the right hands.
@@tdawgsmittywdym bo2 had sbmm
You forgot that even in older games, people gravitated towards strong/OP weapons, perks, etc.
Cod 4 you went against tons of M16 and MP5, stopping power and noobtube spawns.
WAW was MP40, Gewher and again noobtube spawns.
MW2 Models until patched, 1 man army noobtubes, ump can't remember what the meta AR was gonna go with ACR or M16.
Dead Silence/Ninja in any cod
Overall, that part hasn't changed. The base skill of a player has obviously increased as you'd expect from an old franchise, but then you also will not see those other players using off meta weapons unless you happen to get in a game with a someone doing camo grind cause SBMM will match you with people around your skill level and I'd imagine you are around an average to above average player?
You sir are one of the few youtubers who is legit and actually speaking about problems nobody else will thank also these big streamers ruin gaming for a casual and people who play for fun its hard to make casual content withought looking like a bad player
Other people: Listening to him talk
Me: On a nostalgia trip listening to the background music
there is nothing better than the cod soundtracks
Streamers and social media have ruined a lot tbh
I love Call of Duty, but I don’t want giga sweats slide canceling up and down every split second of the match. Even though it is something that everyone seemingly wanted, I feel as though content creators made that happen.😢
I wish they would remove tac sprinting and sliding altogether. Most people wouldn't be shit without it. And slide canceling started out as a glitch. Now it's a "feature".
I hardly ever play something like cod nowadays but when i do i intentionally avoid loadout videos so my experience is more challanging, fun and i get to experiment more so I don't play with the same loaout for all eternity. Plus you are absolutely right about the tons of content that gets released when a new game drops, even though the campaign wasn't what many expected I was planning on not getting spoilers on the story but what do you know, you open tiktokt, scroll 3 times and there they were...5 tiktoks in 10 minutes that spoiled the whole campaign just to give an example.
I appreciate this video and subscribed for it.
Iv been talking about this topic for a long time. I miss the surprise we use to feel when playing games. You can’t even avoid RUclips because there is bound to be one of your friends that looked shit up just to ruin it for you. There is always the option of not having friends but that’s against human nature.
Bro the mystery thing is so facts. Like campaigns are spoiled by the titles of videeos alone in like the first day of the game launching
The impact of streamers on CoD is a double edged sword. On the one hand the attention they bring means that the developers are more likely to support it. On the other hand, online gaming has evolved from a relatively casual experience and doing your best to improve to "oh you won a game? Prepare to get stomped on by this guy who plays all week".
Really interesting video though great job!
thank you!
Great video man finally what i felt about the new era gaming is being spoken about happy someone did … keep up the good work bro 💪
Literally have been saying this for the last almost 10 years. Been saying this since 2014 - 2015, ever since streaming became more popular around 2015. People thirsty for fame have streamed themselves sweating and or closet cheating trying to sweat to impress their audience.
BRO!!!!! Finally someone gets it. RUclips and “meta” builds from streamers are ruining your natural desire to explore and experiment
Not gaming but childhoods for sure. These are not people you want your kids to watch.
Great video especially agree with the points about sbmm. It totally ruins the game, what I loved about online cod was the randomness of each lobby. Now they’re all the same sweaty horrible lobbies it’s a complete deal breaker. 😞
I’m glad mine aren’t like that. I’ve been maxed at 1250 for a few weeks and still get put in lobbies with with ranks under 100 all the way to 1250. And have some great competitive matches that end within a single digit score, all the time. I guess I’ve avoided it.
@@JohnDee633 if you have games that end within a single digit, thats sbmm at work
Played last night and looked like I had played a basketball game
I always make my own stuff that’s the fun part. Creating your own load outs and testing stuff. That’s what’s fun.
Well put bro! I miss the good ‘ol days.
Also, you know you nailed it when your likes outnumber the views lol.
For PC players the main reason casual gaming is gone is they catered to the console market. Back when COD had dedicated servers you could go into 100% casual/fun servers or pub servers that existed to get you warmed up for competitive games. Once they took that out, the series was done.
the only thing streamers did was popularize cheating which is why every lobby is sweaty with a TTV in their names trying to get noticed.
Well done video, music could have definitely been turned down at certain points tho. Keep up the good work
Its very frustrating that the meta is just fastest rate of fire AR/SMG it gets so boring like you say. I used to like messing around with DMRs or shotguns but on normal 6v6 you just get dunked on. Ground war seems less sweaty in the recent cod games and you can mix it up there but its not the classic multiplayer experience i enjoyed way back when
In CoDM (thank god), there is ranked and regular MP and, as a result, we get to choose whatever guns we want to play with, without the influence of streamers. However, there are a lot of people that are using the same type of guns, along with their blueprints for (imo) no apparent reason. There IS a streamer player base but, looking at my current player base, they have very little influence over the majority of the player base considering that most of the players I'm with still using things like the 'Traitor' SCAR-H, BK-57 and KN-44, vastly different from the weapon metas used by streamers...
Thank you for making this video you are probably the only Cod RUclips channel to actually openly speak out about this problem. I've been telling everyone and my friends that streamers are one of the big reasons why gaming is so f***** now. Just like Battle Royale also ruined gaming cuz now it seems like every first person shooter or every game has to have a battle Royale in order for it to be good and streamers push Battle Royale for every game, good example dr disrespect with Halo infinite.
I can absolutely sit back, run something off meta, and be competitive. There are certainly guns and loadouts that are king but I’ve never played a call of duty where you couldn’t use most guns. Outside of shotguns and pistols. There’s usually some really doo doo shotguns and pistols. Streamers have destroyed most games though.
Man, that TV in the begining brought back memories.
This was a great video explaining what modern gaming has become. I’m an OG when it comes to COD but I also play a lot of other games too. But yeah this whole meta thing and people just using the same gun is just bland. I prefer to play with all the guns myself and learn what’s good and what isn’t. Variety is a good thing. You certainly speak for us all in regards to SBMM as well. That shit needs to be in ranked play and let public lobbies become exactly that again.
Ever since MW2019, everyone has wanted to be better than everyone else, and it ticks me off
Multiplayer has become unplayable too, thanks to broken SBMM that DOESN'T pair you with players of your skill level and puts you with the most no-life Flash wannabes, zooming around the map killing everyone in sight
I choose a bad time to cod
Sometimes, it feels the game punishes me more for doing badly. Not once have I been in a bot lobby.
That's what I'm say! We need better skill based matchmaking
Sbmm makes me sad
5:16 I've completely stopped watching guides and trying to find things myself. If I have trouble finding something then I look for the first step then continue from there.
It’s funny when you say this because I remember back then when everything was easier in the older call of duties and I’ve noticed since quarantine till now I seen a lot more people in the older games, trying hard and sweating as well. It got to the point that i upped my sensitivity to 6 and when I did good the realization hit me that I could’ve been this good back then before all this sweaty stuff happened, TBH
The big thing as well is older CODs only had few attachments and options, so experimenting wasn’t far fetched even for the casual players. Nowadays it’s almost a must to rely on a streamer/influencer that’s experimented and tinkered for 10 hours on one set of attachments. It’s really unfortunate but also the way the games are made now, you can’t just hop into a pub lobby or war zone without having the best possible weapons and expect to have fun or win. Sad times…
That remind me the past last year in apex legends. Multiple streamers complain about knockout Shield legendary revive himself and they want to remove the Shield ability we didn't ask about it but they did.
I have got to say, the last fact about them speaking for the community hit me because i feel the exact same way. Streamers are the ones with the best tech, money, set ups and they are only one factor in the target market.
The streamers with the 24/7 fast speed internet access that is saying how online aspects like warzone and spec ops are the best and the only thing worth playing in cod are taking away the experiences like spilt screen, campaign and co-op for offline players with just enough money to buy the game
But honestly bro, just subscribed recently because you have got to be one of the smartest guys out there when it comes to gaming, love your videos
The worst are sweaters who are toxic in casual modes. Not cod related but i was playing some Apex with a beginner friend and was randomly queued with an a**hole who was being toxic because we weren't doing good enough. Dude had as much total damage tracked on a single character as i have on my whole apex account 💀💀(and i have at least 700 hours already in the game).
Its like now in mw3 bc people don’t want to experiment with the new guns and use the mw2 weapons until a new meta hits the streets
Great call on the slide canceling not what the actual community wants. All I hear is “they ruined movement” and I couldn’t be happier I don’t have to shoot some adderall zombie jumping around me like a spider monkey.
Streamers don’t even wanna play against streamers
Really?
Yes.. it’s too sweaty for them .
i dont. too sweaty lol
I love your full length videos, amazing video I really agree with what ur saying here
More on the way!
Streamers, developers and corporate greed ruined COD. Particularly, Warzone.
been saying this for years. Mine is more specifically with that meta this meta that BS. I hate that so much. Why not let people experiment to find out what is good and what's not, instead putting up a whole spreadsheet on why x gun is shit and y gun is "META" . I hated war zone because of that, there was no variety, everyone was running RPK at some point. Same way they removed tuning just because streamers and some of the player base (amongst the millions that are fine with it, and other millions that dont even care whether it's there or not) have complained. I get content is what they do for a living but at least encourage some variety and experimenting. ( "The best controller settings" is crazy to me still lol).
Best controller settings make no sense to me either. If I followed some I’d be shooting circles. Everyone plays different sensitivity’s so it needs to be per person
Thank you so much it needed to be said
I feel this, gonna play Modern Warfare Zombies with a friend on release date and one of the first things he pulls up is a TikTok video of a streamer that goes "Use this glitch in MWZ to get tons of XP!!" and it was like: Shouldn't we go and explore the map and figure stuff out instead of being told by some basement boy how to exploit the game on release date.
Great video! 💪
Youre videos are really well made
The BAR still spits till this very day!
I always ran into sweats every time i got into real player lobby in codm like they play like they had their life on the line…
5:52 The New Zealand tactic didn't work for me sadly. There is no reason why games need to be segregated based on time zone.
It’s because the release time would be stupid for people over there if it wasn’t released earlier . I get it , I mean no reason some people shouldn’t get to play just because it’s 4am and they have work in the morning.. it’s not that big a deal imo..also everyone on my list got on by joining there friends that were on mw3
weird i feel like it worked for a lot of people
SBMM should be based on how many hours you spend on game. I’m 43 year old dad and hardly find time to play after my kids go to sleep. I’m usually disabling the voice chat bc I don’t wanna hear trash talking.
when i played og mw2, i actually wanted to play, nowadays because of some streamers everyone is SO sweaty
Great video man.
🫡
first also love the content keep it up
Thanks! Will do!
I only knew about the classic Ghost skin weeks before, but I didn't knew it wouldn't changed my opinion, the other skins before were terrible.
Man world at war was such a gem one of my favorites
I feel streamers and e sports 100% ruined cod and battlefield, great video.
Ur my fav RUclipsr and can u stream tmrw on the zombies?
appreciate you! ill be streaming soon. im not sure what yet!
@@tdawgsmitty ok
This is a great video man
thank you man!
Best COD youtube channel!!
Streamers are absolutely part of the reason cod ducks now, but corporate greed and exploitation are the main reason
love the mw3 music in the background
"Casual gaming is dead"
Proceeds to twitch out in every match...
I dont even use meta guns and ppl call me toxic
Without watching the video and just reading the title. I agree. Content creators and streamers might provide entertainment but they ruined the game. Now everyone thinks they’re going to be the next big thing so they sweat their balls off every game using the same meta weapons and perks every match. The game becomes so repetitive that it just kills the fun.
As a learning game developer I’m sad that casual fps gaming is dead. Games like Team Fortress 2 are proof that there’s still an audience for this casual FPS game.
Great video!
🤝🤝
I just choose some guns that look good for my playstile, i think copying another person loadout takes the fun out of the game, and dont get me starting on meta weapons
love that
Amazing orator you are T and amazing video as always
Thank you so much!
Solid video brother
Call of duty = have fun thats Call of duty back in the day i just want to play the old cod 😢
Play them on the old consoles if you still have them. There's a good amount of people on there, but there could be more.
Game companies sometimes forget streamers are not the majority of players
Hey buddy, I agree I several ways I hope this reaches you, the offline mode (when pressing circle before entering online mode on console) the multiplayer sucks, can you try and bring this to sledgehammer attention? Thank you❤
Great video, T
😘
my dawg beefin with everyone 💪💪💪
hahaha
i remember in COD:WaW, i used to have classes for every faction that the game puts me on,for example, if i was in the japanese side i only used japanese weapons. that was fun.
Also with a lot of players using the cronus it's officially killed it for casual players like me, it's been affecting multiplayer gaming for over a decade and they refuse to fix it.
i dont mind it in quickplay, but in Ranked it seriously has impact on me
The problem is instead of people figuring thing out for themselves they rely on content creators who play games everyday.
That’s why i quit MP game since there’s no place for me, the only MP game i play are Titanfall 2 and AOE, now i mostly play COOP and SP games
Streamers and esports also made i trendy to cheat in gaming. To the point it ruins everything it touches due to peoples obsession with winning for various reasons at any cost.
there are a few guys i routinely watch when i run into something i am struggling to figure out like the Raids or tips on how to unlock camos efficnelty, but 90% of what i encounter is outrage farming and whinging about things that only 5% of the player base really care about. the guys i play with, we're such filthy casuals and no one cares about SBMM. If it weren't for streamers posting every other video about SBMM ruining the game, I honestly don't think I would have even registered it.
Casual gaming online is dead in games like cod and the like. Everyone is a sweat and it's ruled out the casual aspect, in most cases, it's ruled out the fun too, becoming toxic and stressful.
tbh this hits every point of modern gaming issues thats pvp. theres nothing unique between most players, they all run the same classes and play the same way, and sbmm doesnt help anything only makes it worse.
Amazing video
as an mtn dew trickshotting pubstomping quickscoping gamer yes they did i miss just having fun with cod who remembers an94 and m8a1 days
100%agree with your point of improvement feeling pointless. I got better at the game to have higher kill games not more sweaty games
Streaming and RUclips ruined gaming in general they promote exploits and cheats in single player and multiplayer gaming, they promote metas and generic builds that every one ends up using. It’s boring and not entertaining. It’s makes it harder for devs to keep up with content consumption because you have unrealistic consumption of content with 12 - 24 hour streams and exploits which puts great stress on the devs. As soon as one exploit is discovered it’s posted and everyone is on the band wagon ruining the games and then where devs could be working on content now have to rush and focus on hot fixes and patches because the consumption of content is unrealistic.
What ruined call of duty is a combination of trending gimmick(s) like battle royales, operator & other modern features. The flow of new player from said gimmick casually playing the game which encouraged developer to keep on repeating what worked (warzone for example which overtook zombies, multiplayer and now the campaign) without any drawback from their newfound cashcows. And laslty new developers who had nothing to do with the previous game, and are blessed with convenient technologies not encouraging (forcing) creativity
Havent watched one streamer. Dont know one of their goofy names or fake online personas. Im old fashioned and enjoy my video games personally by experiencing them myself
