When everyone - from big boys like id Software to smaller indie studios - are shipping pure gold amidst the pandemic, blaming 'the global situation' for your company's shortcomings sounds more and more like 'but COVID ate my homework'. Also; every time I hear 'Raven Software', I feel a sudden urge to 'Press F' and raise a glass to the sweet, sweet Heretic, Hexen and SoF memories.

The Uzi (family) and the Socimi Type 821 are not actually the same gun, it is a different size, has a shorter barrel, a slower rate of fire, a completely different stock and so on. It's not a bad choice for a videogame though - the slower rate of fire means you don't eat through the magazine's rounds as quickly.
That comment you made about the Marine Corps and inclusivity really struck a nerve with me. I enlisted back in 2013 and we were already getting officers who were talking like PR talking heads about our feelings and being nice to each other. The Drill Instructor, on the other hand, kept it real when the officers were gone. You know; the whole insults and shouting to increase the stress you experience. Haven't met anyone that's enlisted recently, but I can imagine that things have gotten more soft since all the older Marines I met afterwards would sometimes bemoan how relaxed and weak that social justice has made our bootcamp experience. Even now I've seen recruiting ads specifically doing Captain Marvel levels of women empowerment fantasies.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think it's all part and parcel of the great Communist effort to defeat the U.S. by weakening its army, so they can actually win the war and win easily.
As someone who got out of the Corps in 2019 I can fully confirm how horribly soft we've gotten all across the board, how cultural Marxism and feminism has infiltrated our ARMED FORCES (literally the last place on earth it should've gotten through to), granted I had an amazing SDI and good DI's who wipe their dick with people's feelings and "inclusivity" but that didn't minimize it for the other platoons/companies (especially the female ones)... Lol you can quite literally just quit boot camp now with virtually no repercussions whatsoever, tell the corpsman you're feeling "depressed" and *booom* next day you're talking to a Navy psychiatrist and going home within 2 weeks (which 4 kids in my boot platoon did) 🥴 Fuck man, when the GWOT kicked off young guys were CLAMBERING to be sent to Iraq or Afghanistan, testosterone was flying all over the place, and the only way you were getting off that island is by graduation or (at least attempted) suicide 👀

Fun-fact about the "Non-Binary" option in the singleplayer: The "Classified" option already fulfilled this role and serves the exact same function in-game (Non-specific pronouns in reference to your character) only in a more immersive and believable way that also lets you come up with other potential backgrounds for your character if you want to, and makes more sense with the setting, as the US would never have allowed an NB person on record back in the 80s. They only added the "Non-Binary" option after backlash for not having it in a gameplay demo at some event, where people starting calling them out and bla bla bla so they were pressured into adding it in despite the "Classified" option already being there. It's just depressing tbh.
Activision better be trembling in fear after the way you took apart this game. I haven't played a Call of Duty game since the Modern Warfare series. Looks like that's going to continue.
So, it's a bit like Black, but with multiplayer, some additional (but not well executed) flourishes in the campaign, manipulative microtransactions, and set in the late Cold War instead of the War On Terror. I don't know what else I should have expected from a franchise named after a fish.

@@DJWeapon8 Well, needless to say, the game launched in a terrible state, especially on consoles. The excuses I'm seeing constantly are hilariously bad. I can't sit by and let that sort of idiocy go unchallenged.
Remember when COD used to feel gritty, stylistically realistic yet still thoroughly entertaining? Man how far we have come. Here’s hoping CDPR can save he current triple A landscape with Cyberpunk 2077. Excellent review as always.
@@21Kiloton If you didn't perform your dastardly, shameful camping shenanigans I would never have subscribed to your channel. I have grown to become detested by my best friends for my appalling lack of COD skills. And it's fantastic!! From one lowly bunker dwelling, sniping camper to another, cheers! ❤️
The people who made this game wouldn't last seconds in a modern warfare 2 lobby back in the 360 days if toxicity and inclusiveness is what they care about. Shows how out of touch with COD market they are. Also nice shout out to gun Jesus 👍
When I see creampuffs say stupid, inflammatory shit on social media, and then complain they are being "harassed", I chuckle because I deal with worse shit every day as a RUclipsr. Then I remember that 1 RUclipsr day equals 1 MW2 minute. Damn, just turning on voice comms was an exercise in personal stoicism. YW on Ian btw. He is legend and far more sensible and professional than me. He is even winning me over on his Subgun categorization philosophy ... and Im a PDW purist.
I missed the notification because I was somehow mysteriously unsubbed from this channel. Good to see that RUclips is diligently protecting me from wrongthink.
Ok THAT is interesting and definitive, first-hand evidence that RUclips IS unsubbing people from my channel. They deny vehemently that they do it, despite the regular reports. But if YOU got unsubbed, well you aint gonna do that by accident. Thanks for letting me know mate.
Kiloton, you went with Social Justice Warrior for your name in the campaign. Well, it wouldn’t let me put Soapy Tit Wank so I went with Mammary Onanism. Activision aren’t great with words.
It's not related to the video or matters in any way but I'm genuinely interested: What makes you so bad at playing first person shooters? You play these games for dozens of hours just for your reviews, wouldn't you pick up skills and tricks eventually? Anyway, great review. You always pack them full of gaming related news and facts, so it's well worth a watch even if I don't actually care about the game.
You don't have to answer at all if you don't feel like it or can't think of anything. It's just something I've been wondering about ever since your Black Ops 4 review.
unlocked gold camo for it now ... Despite its many flaws, the M60 hits like a truck and has huge ammo capacity. On the down side, its less accurate than me, has a horrible recoil profile, and the ADS time must be as long or longer than some reload times on SMGs (not even kidding)
My god I could just listen to this guy all day. Just the right blend of insightful commentary, humour and a sprinkling of scathing sarcasm on absolutely every video. Class act man bravo!
CoD not being toxic is like Twitter not being humanity's cesspool/the internet's version of New Jersey: it's not possible. The CoD community has a reputation for a reason. But Cold War looks like it's trying to pull some BF 5 shenanigans and attempt to fuck up the game somewhat and attempt to interject wokeness into a tard wrangling program. And after they nerf the MP5 into being the firearm equivalent of a conscientious objector, they will probably unknowingly create another meta gun to take its place. Maybe DICE can break away from EA, take Battlefield back and make Bad Company 3 like everyone wanted to undo the fuckery of 5 to make Treyfinityhammer Softward push itself to make a better product. And yes, I combined Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer and Raven Software into one because fuck it.
Met a guy using aim bot in the game. He said he been using it from the first time the game came out. Apparently it's easier to cheat on cold war than mw 2019
I’m SO glad I found your Channel, it’s very entertaining. Keep up the good posts, your posh accent combined with indignant and brutally honest opinion just creates such a special video to watch!
The lock picking system was in a game from a long time ago. Prison break for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. However that game is utter dogshit and relatively obscure so I don’t blame you for not knowing about it. I’d personally love to forget about it.
I've only ever played Cold War for the Campaign. Its not the best (neither was MW 2019 for that matter), but it had potential. Opposed to blaming actual war crimes committed by us (USA, UK, etc) on Russia. Multiplayer in either of these new games is a shit show. I like gun builder, but everything else is just horror.
+1:20 OHHHHHH I want that Gamecube Keyboard so badly.. (is that even real) - something like that for the Dreamcast might even have been "useful" come to think of it - I have had some quite small keyboards in the past (no number pads) and they'd have worked for this layout - it's wacky - but it might have some slightly crazy practicality to it for some VERY SPECIFIC games. I've certainly wished that keyboards with laptop style navigation pads were a lot more common as they'd be so darn useful as a generic internet tool and I wouldn't keep loosing my mouse under the desk that way. Oh and I went a looked and not only is that real - it also seems that there is a Joycon modern version for the Nintendo Switch controllers to plug on too as well. I love novelty controllers.. even when they are a bit daft.
Probably the best comment I have seen on SBMM - Players will be punished until they spend money and then will suddenly find things a lot easier I play Warzone - its literally the business model....
This game is so disappointing for pc hardcore players the controls are clunky especially the aim over weapon if you have it on toggle it gets cancelled a lot of times. and the enemy's spawning behind you lol. en controller people with aim assist using snipers...... This channel is a GEM keep growing!
I know this is older content and I'm almost a year late to the party but I love coming back and revisiting these old vids of yours, the slurs are so specific and double barelled, just as I'm working out 'as most of its too intelligent for me and goes straight over my head' the first bit and and cracking up you then fire off the other shell and im ended ahaa...not enough of this honest gritty and funny critisism going on in RUclips gamer content, creators are too scared to speak their mind and get censored or lose a sponsor, it's a shame that most are pandering to these triple A producers for views,likes and subs even more so now than ever,it's an absolute minefield of complete nonsense sjw cancel culture, you're a breath of fresh air mate! We couldn't thank you enough for being straight down the middle and creating content for us the viewer rather than them the fu*tard, anyway yer a diamond geezer
Thank you. I dont expect everyone to agree with me all the time, but I say what I honestly think. In these strange times that has to stand for something.
The sad reality is that my channel is shadow banned. Only today someone I personally KNOW informed me that they had been unsubscribed from the channel by RUclips. RUclips vehemently deny they are doing it, but the most recent case was one of my actual Patreon supporters. I also periodically get falsely accused of nefarious "hate crimes" by RUclips. Eventually I always successfully appeal because the accusations are entirely fabricated. But during this time my channel gets crushed. At the end of the day, RUclips hired Arch Troll, Anita Sarkeesian to work on its "anti-harrassment" team which is pretty much certification that any semblance of free expression is not welcome on the platform. All this being said, thank you for your kind words. I would rather be unpopular and honest, than a successful shill.
@@21Kiloton Unpopular? Hardly...not as popular as you should be? Deinitely! I appreciate so much that you continue to make the content you do considering all this. Your reviews are brutally honest, funny and I have complete trust in your reviews/advice (I discovered you through your Kingdom Come: Deliverance review - AMAZING!). Would you consider twitch as a platform to direct people to your content? - I think you could make some brilliant content on there and potentially face less underhand tactics?
21Kiloton is the kind of person after a day of work, you sit sit down put up a video of him and just let it all get over you. i fucking love listing to you and still do after years
if COD is too demanding on your system, you can always go back to battlefail 4. the game is so bad at using resources, that i an literally play with a 56k modem and running several renders in the background driving my craptop to the 98% cpu and gpu usage and STILL dont feel any impact in bf4...
I’ve noticed modern warfare multiplayer is broken. 1 minute i’m in a match and get obliterated left right and center. next match i’m killing everything and everyone....
53:00 random scatter in order to be more likely to hit enemies with shit aim sounds exactly like another gambling based shooter called CS:GO. The entire premise of the gunplay is that everything from movement to shooting affects your spray pattern while it also slaps a randomized variable on top of that for good measure, it works really well i have to say you can aim at someones feet and score headshots with multiple weapons from what i have tested before i dropped the game from boredom.
That campaign ending really ruined the experience for me. I grew up with Metal Gear and even the original Black Ops on my ol' PS3 so I can get behind stories like BoCw's, but when the payoff makes no sense or is so blatantly bad it doesn't feel right, that can make or break a game's story and it broke this game's story for me. Also, zombies ain't what it used to be and I really have no desire to try out Multiplayer by myself.
34:40 Sugar-free cookies given to a diabetic terrorist turned out to be surprisingly effective, as well. Cookies work better than drugs and torture. Who knew?
Nice work on this one - I like the holistic take on pending patents and hiring psychological and gambling pros. If anyone is under any impression these titles aren't explicitly about getting the player to pay above and beyond retail, they're being naive. Thank you as always.
Thank you kindly Hikeskool. Periodically I get sent links to hiring adverts for game publishers and its frightening how much gambling and monetization specialists are valued far above the actual developers who make the games.
@@21Kiloton I look forward to each and everyone of your videos.... Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077, which interestly enough is the first game I've pre-ordered since Fallout 4.
Oh no, poor good players now have to play against other good players instead of completely annihilating noobs, why can't good players completely ruin noobs' day in a videogame anymore. Now i have to learn to play well and adapt instead of proning in a narrow corridor with lmg and claymore. Look, 21Kiloton, SBMM by itself is designed to matchmake people of equal skill and prevent a single lv999 rambo steamrolling on poor lv5 noobs. Those who whine about being "punished" for playing better deserve to get their whining posted on @ScrubquotesX on twitter. You should detach SBMM from abusive and exploitative systems that matchmake you against fuckers who purchased something pay to win and show you their shit to manipulate you into buying shit in a game that you already payed money for. There were quite a lot of shitty games like legendary EASWBF2 that were made with that in mind. There ARE many games still made with that in mind. But SBMM, while it might not be done well and have bad skill determining algorythms, is generally a good way to separate grizzled veterans from babies who don't know how to walk.
The hardcore mode in this iteration is so bad. Modern warfare did it so well. Zombies will always be better then multiplayer because zombies is zombies
Finally someone else who agrees thay this "Hours To Level Up A Gun And It's Attachments" being utter bullocks! Even if it's a gun I like, no matter the game (Battlefield, COD) I inevitably get bored A/F after days of leveling up.
Yeah the XP throttling is insane. I mainly focused on the M60 and hit second prestige before Gold Camo I think. Im not a CoD scientist, but Im pretty sure you shouldnt have to play for a week JUST to max out ONE gun ffs. (even at my asstard skill level)
@@21Kiloton it's not just you. It reminds me of throttling in Battlefield V. Tho Rank 4 gave you all specs for a gun, you had to max lvl it, THEN do special assignments that were ridiculous. I'm sure this is all geared toward getting the player to spend money not unlock it. Even way back when, like Battlefield 1 or 4 for ex: you could buy the vase weapons, and kits. But extras like FN 200, or UCAV you had to do under ridiculous circumstances.

@@DJWeapon8 Well, needless to say, the game launched in a terrible state, especially on consoles. The excuses I'm seeing constantly are hilariously bad. I can't sit by and let that sort of idiocy go unchallenged.
Remember when COD used to feel gritty, stylistically realistic yet still thoroughly entertaining? Man how far we have come. Here’s hoping CDPR can save he current triple A landscape with Cyberpunk 2077.
Excellent review as always.
This aged well
@@KFCHICKEN01 too bad they drove it further into the ground without pissing on it first. First Naughty Dog now CDPR.
Erm...... someone want to tell him.
@@emotionalsupportostrich2480 check the replies dumbass.
A new 21 Kiloton video on Saturday morning is like getting a surprise bonus slice of your favorite pie after the Thanksgiving spread. Marvelous!! 🥧👍
... and Happy Thanksgiving btw Joe. I hope you savour my hideous and shameful camping antics.
@@21Kiloton And Happy Thanksgiving to you as well my friend!
@@21Kiloton If you didn't perform your dastardly, shameful camping shenanigans I would never have subscribed to your channel. I have grown to become detested by my best friends for my appalling lack of COD skills. And it's fantastic!! From one lowly bunker dwelling, sniping camper to another, cheers! ❤️
The people who made this game wouldn't last seconds in a modern warfare 2 lobby back in the 360 days if toxicity and inclusiveness is what they care about. Shows how out of touch with COD market they are.
Also nice shout out to gun Jesus 👍
When I see creampuffs say stupid, inflammatory shit on social media, and then complain they are being "harassed", I chuckle because I deal with worse shit every day as a RUclipsr. Then I remember that 1 RUclipsr day equals 1 MW2 minute. Damn, just turning on voice comms was an exercise in personal stoicism.
YW on Ian btw. He is legend and far more sensible and professional than me. He is even winning me over on his Subgun categorization philosophy ... and Im a PDW purist.
If your mom wasn’t insulted in the first 60 seconds then your mic was muted and sound off.
(In MW2)
Perhaps they'll set the next CoD in Elbonia. How'd *that* be for gun porn? ^_^
At least this time main character wasn't a rich kid from Cameroon
"You can't just turn off the 80s!!"
I missed the notification because I was somehow mysteriously unsubbed from this channel. Good to see that RUclips is diligently protecting me from wrongthink.
Ok THAT is interesting and definitive, first-hand evidence that RUclips IS unsubbing people from my channel. They deny vehemently that they do it, despite the regular reports. But if YOU got unsubbed, well you aint gonna do that by accident. Thanks for letting me know mate.
@@21Kiloton Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you, buddy. :P
Kiloton, you went with Social Justice Warrior for your name in the campaign. Well, it wouldn’t let me put Soapy Tit Wank so I went with Mammary Onanism. Activision aren’t great with words.
If my Son is Transgender, does that make me Transparent.......?
It's not related to the video or matters in any way but I'm genuinely interested: What makes you so bad at playing first person shooters? You play these games for dozens of hours just for your reviews, wouldn't you pick up skills and tricks eventually?
Anyway, great review. You always pack them full of gaming related news and facts, so it's well worth a watch even if I don't actually care about the game.
That is an excellent question. So excellent in fact, that I am going to think about it before I give you an answer ... if thats ok?
You don't have to answer at all if you don't feel like it or can't think of anything. It's just something I've been wondering about ever since your Black Ops 4 review.
The Kabar is up there with the Kukri and Stilleto as far as iconic war knives go.
Dude leveled the M60 to level 32. Such a glutton for punishment.
unlocked gold camo for it now ...
Despite its many flaws, the M60 hits like a truck and has huge ammo capacity.
On the down side, its less accurate than me, has a horrible recoil profile, and the ADS time must be as long or longer than some reload times on SMGs (not even kidding)
@@21Kiloton I unlocked the last barrel and it's a game changer. Also, dirty bomb helped a lot since kills are almost 2.5x weapon XP. Congrats on gold.
love your reviews. you are like Mack from worth a buy but a longer version :DDDD
I came here expecting a cynical review of cod, but God damn, you blasting everyone and everything man!
...I think I’m in love.
Subbed.
Camping - sums up the cold war. Send in the pions to die.
New subscriber here can’t get enough of your videos! They are hilarious
I made it to season 1 in cold war. Then was just done with all the problems that you mentioned.
Haven't been back to COD since.
Ooooh gonna watch this on the shitter, I've cleared the que, Mrs been warned...
Mate, for this 1 hour video you'll get hemorrhoid's. haha
Why does everyone misspell "queue"? I get how 4 of the letters are redundant, but come on.
My grampa grew up during the cold war and the paranoia of nuclear war was insane.
My god I could just listen to this guy all day. Just the right blend of insightful commentary, humour and a sprinkling of scathing sarcasm on absolutely every video. Class act man bravo!
CoD not being toxic is like Twitter not being humanity's cesspool/the internet's version of New Jersey: it's not possible. The CoD community has a reputation for a reason. But Cold War looks like it's trying to pull some BF 5 shenanigans and attempt to fuck up the game somewhat and attempt to interject wokeness into a tard wrangling program. And after they nerf the MP5 into being the firearm equivalent of a conscientious objector, they will probably unknowingly create another meta gun to take its place.
Maybe DICE can break away from EA, take Battlefield back and make Bad Company 3 like everyone wanted to undo the fuckery of 5 to make Treyfinityhammer Softward push itself to make a better product. And yes, I combined Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer and Raven Software into one because fuck it.
Met a guy using aim bot in the game. He said he been using it from the first time the game came out. Apparently it's easier to cheat on cold war than mw 2019
Great review as always. I'm sure this will be a worthy contender for your upcoming Game Awards 2020 video.
I’m SO glad I found your Channel, it’s very entertaining. Keep up the good posts, your posh accent combined with indignant and brutally honest opinion just creates such a special video to watch!
The lock picking system was in a game from a long time ago. Prison break for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. However that game is utter dogshit and relatively obscure so I don’t blame you for not knowing about it. I’d personally love to forget about it.
Dumpster juice as usual, but ppl will continue to fund these types of companies...
Love your videos! Keep it up!
I've only ever played Cold War for the Campaign. Its not the best (neither was MW 2019 for that matter), but it had potential. Opposed to blaming actual war crimes committed by us (USA, UK, etc) on Russia.
Multiplayer in either of these new games is a shit show. I like gun builder, but everything else is just horror.
Hey! MISTER... i grew up on john huges movies. LMFAO! 😆 😆 😆
John Hughes could teach modern film makers a lesson or two.
+1:20 OHHHHHH I want that Gamecube Keyboard so badly.. (is that even real) - something like that for the Dreamcast might even have been "useful" come to think of it - I have had some quite small keyboards in the past (no number pads) and they'd have worked for this layout - it's wacky - but it might have some slightly crazy practicality to it for some VERY SPECIFIC games.
I've certainly wished that keyboards with laptop style navigation pads were a lot more common as they'd be so darn useful as a generic internet tool and I wouldn't keep loosing my mouse under the desk that way.
Oh and I went a looked and not only is that real - it also seems that there is a Joycon modern version for the Nintendo Switch controllers to plug on too as well. I love novelty controllers.. even when they are a bit daft.
modern warfare 2019 was so nice because of the return of trash talking
Cold War is quickly becoming COD’s Battlefield 5.
Wow. For some reason youtube decided not to notify me of your video. Enjoyed it as always tho.
Probably the best comment I have seen on SBMM -
Players will be punished until they spend money and then will suddenly find things a lot easier
I play Warzone - its literally the business model....
Kiloton I love how you put it so delicately lol😂
What can I say? I just like my arguments to be subtle, and then wrapped around a brick.
So true there's no one else I trust more
This game is so disappointing for pc hardcore players the controls are clunky especially the aim over weapon if you have it on toggle it gets cancelled a lot of times. and the enemy's spawning behind you lol. en controller people with aim assist using snipers...... This channel is a GEM keep growing!
It wouldn't be a CoD game if the opposing team didn't spawn behind you
@@kloa4219 i am from the time that it didn't happen that badly as it is now 35 year old cod player here ;D played since cod 1 and mohaa ect. ;)
I know this is older content and I'm almost a year late to the party but I love coming back and revisiting these old vids of yours, the slurs are so specific and double barelled, just as I'm working out 'as most of its too intelligent for me and goes straight over my head' the first bit and and cracking up you then fire off the other shell and im ended ahaa...not enough of this honest gritty and funny critisism going on in RUclips gamer content, creators are too scared to speak their mind and get censored or lose a sponsor, it's a shame that most are pandering to these triple A producers for views,likes and subs even more so now than ever,it's an absolute minefield of complete nonsense sjw cancel culture, you're a breath of fresh air mate! We couldn't thank you enough for being straight down the middle and creating content for us the viewer rather than them the fu*tard, anyway yer a diamond geezer
was that a sense of a cunning plan there about LMG use? :)
@21Kiloton when are you gunna review godfall, dude, I got the popcorn ready. Dance damnit, dance!!! lol
Your perspective is mind-boggling and accurate...I just subscribed.
Thank you. I dont expect everyone to agree with me all the time, but I say what I honestly think. In these strange times that has to stand for something.
“I’m not playing through the whole campaign a second time. I bought the game, give me the missions, I paid for them fuckface” - beautifully put.
That comment bout toxcicity gave me a flashback to mw2, kids these days wouldnt survive choking a clutch in the lobby vc
Never stop making reviews! They are gold!
I know it’s been said many times but I’ll say it again...how does 21kiloton not have WAY MORE subscribers?!
The sad reality is that my channel is shadow banned. Only today someone I personally KNOW informed me that they had been unsubscribed from the channel by RUclips. RUclips vehemently deny they are doing it, but the most recent case was one of my actual Patreon supporters.
I also periodically get falsely accused of nefarious "hate crimes" by RUclips. Eventually I always successfully appeal because the accusations are entirely fabricated. But during this time my channel gets crushed.
At the end of the day, RUclips hired Arch Troll, Anita Sarkeesian to work on its "anti-harrassment" team which is pretty much certification that any semblance of free expression is not welcome on the platform.
All this being said, thank you for your kind words. I would rather be unpopular and honest, than a successful shill.
@@21Kiloton Unpopular? Hardly...not as popular as you should be? Deinitely! I appreciate so much that you continue to make the content you do considering all this. Your reviews are brutally honest, funny and I have complete trust in your reviews/advice (I discovered you through your Kingdom Come: Deliverance review - AMAZING!). Would you consider twitch as a platform to direct people to your content? - I think you could make some brilliant content on there and potentially face less underhand tactics?
21Kiloton is the kind of person after a day of work, you sit sit down put up a video of him and just let it all get over you. i fucking love listing to you and still do after years
if COD is too demanding on your system, you can always go back to battlefail 4. the game is so bad at using resources, that i an literally play with a 56k modem and running several renders in the background driving my craptop to the 98% cpu and gpu usage and STILL dont feel any impact in bf4...
Locksport is fascinating and lock bypass techniques are too. Highly recommend it.
LockpickingLawyer is a good channel
I’ve noticed modern warfare multiplayer is broken. 1 minute i’m in a match and get obliterated left right and center. next match i’m killing everything and everyone....
I was in tears!!!🤣🤣🤣
Everything you're saying is so relatable, and NO GAME is safe from Microtransactions now smh?!
Glad you enjoyed it mate.
53:00 random scatter in order to be more likely to hit enemies with shit aim sounds exactly like another gambling based shooter called CS:GO.
The entire premise of the gunplay is that everything from movement to shooting affects your spray pattern while it also slaps a randomized variable on top of that for good measure, it works really well i have to say you can aim at someones feet and score headshots with multiple weapons from what i have tested before i dropped the game from boredom.
I thought all the Black Ops were about the cold war? I don't generally play AAA games, but I occasionally dabble in a little COD.
BO1 and parts of BO2 were the only ones set during the cold war, the other parts of BO2 , BO3, and BO4 were all uninspired generic near future shit.
@@Sebomai-b8i Ah. Right on.
That campaign ending really ruined the experience for me. I grew up with Metal Gear and even the original Black Ops on my ol' PS3 so I can get behind stories like BoCw's, but when the payoff makes no sense or is so blatantly bad it doesn't feel right, that can make or break a game's story and it broke this game's story for me. Also, zombies ain't what it used to be and I really have no desire to try out Multiplayer by myself.
this was the best laff on my bday, keep rockin this chit man
I love Forgotten Weapons. Gun Jesus for the win!
34:40 Sugar-free cookies given to a diabetic terrorist turned out to be surprisingly effective, as well.
Cookies work better than drugs and torture. Who knew?
... I learned something today. Thank you
The man just wanted to eat something sweet for once in his life.
Nice work on this one - I like the holistic take on pending patents and hiring psychological and gambling pros. If anyone is under any impression these titles aren't explicitly about getting the player to pay above and beyond retail, they're being naive.
Thank you as always.
Thank you kindly Hikeskool. Periodically I get sent links to hiring adverts for game publishers and its frightening how much gambling and monetization specialists are valued far above the actual developers who make the games.
O M G supporting you is worth every cent. Bravo 21K Bravo!
I really hope so Shawn. Thank you once again.
@@21Kiloton I look forward to each and everyone of your videos.... Can't wait for Cyberpunk 2077, which interestly enough is the first game I've pre-ordered since Fallout 4.
Excellent , outstanding video mate A review and description of a game perfectly put in to words.
Thank you Marktweedy. I appreciate your kind praise.
F*ing love your reviews skinless honesty is a spares thing today
What the music in the beginning ?
Why is W on Tactical grenade?
Daddy's back!
Oh no, poor good players now have to play against other good players instead of completely annihilating noobs, why can't good players completely ruin noobs' day in a videogame anymore. Now i have to learn to play well and adapt instead of proning in a narrow corridor with lmg and claymore.
Look, 21Kiloton, SBMM by itself is designed to matchmake people of equal skill and prevent a single lv999 rambo steamrolling on poor lv5 noobs. Those who whine about being "punished" for playing better deserve to get their whining posted on @ScrubquotesX on twitter. You should detach SBMM from abusive and exploitative systems that matchmake you against fuckers who purchased something pay to win and show you their shit to manipulate you into buying shit in a game that you already payed money for. There were quite a lot of shitty games like legendary EASWBF2 that were made with that in mind. There ARE many games still made with that in mind. But SBMM, while it might not be done well and have bad skill determining algorythms, is generally a good way to separate grizzled veterans from babies who don't know how to walk.
The hardcore mode in this iteration is so bad. Modern warfare did it so well.
Zombies will always be better then multiplayer because zombies is zombies
Your twisted logic on how to hit the target if you’re Stevie Wonder was priceless! 😂😂😂
Finally someone else who agrees thay this "Hours To Level Up A Gun And It's Attachments" being utter bullocks! Even if it's a gun I like, no matter the game (Battlefield, COD) I inevitably get bored A/F after days of leveling up.
Yeah the XP throttling is insane. I mainly focused on the M60 and hit second prestige before Gold Camo I think.
Im not a CoD scientist, but Im pretty sure you shouldnt have to play for a week JUST to max out ONE gun ffs. (even at my asstard skill level)
@@21Kiloton it's not just you. It reminds me of throttling in Battlefield V. Tho Rank 4 gave you all specs for a gun, you had to max lvl it, THEN do special assignments that were ridiculous. I'm sure this is all geared toward getting the player to spend money not unlock it. Even way back when, like Battlefield 1 or 4 for ex: you could buy the vase weapons, and kits. But extras like FN 200, or UCAV you had to do under ridiculous circumstances.
You made it big but I noticed a slight jab in they put your logo on a trash can.
I think its actually a "suitcase" nuclear weapon. But I would settle for a trash can.
