please play call of duty (2003) and call of duty 2, i think you'd enjoy playing through them and they were a good chunk of my early childhood, COD4 is awesome but i still remember the holdout in a house against the germans with a anti tank rifle and the obvious stereotype of being handed ammo but no rifle when you first spawn as a soviet soldier
That point about WaW overloading your senses is extremely accurate. When I think about playing it I just remember only hearing gunfire nonstop, Reznov yelling incoherently, and the blackcat pilot screaming to shoot those damn pt boats.
I could say CoD 2 also has that. The moment when they put you to stationary machine gun and your entire HUD gets covered in grenade marks, forming a completed circle... now that's quite a moment.
I always liked the first MW game the most. It a sort of hybrid between "classic" COD(especially the ending) and whats to come next in the series. The campaign opening cinematic did a huge impression on me when I first played it on my shitty Atholn XP Radeon 9500 PC. Had a brain fart writing this btw.
What made cod 4 realistic was the story. We were in the middle of the war on terror in Afghanistan and iraq. The Soviet Union not long ago collapsed. It feels realistic in the game that terriosts had access to nuclear material from soviet extremists aka the ultranationalist in a Russian civil war. It makes more sense then in the recent cod games in where the US shadow company fumbles nuclear material to a Russian mercenary group. What makes this game even more scary is that fact the Chernobyl mission all gullied up ended up being foreshadowing of the Russian ukraine war today. A lot of connections and believable. Todays cod games it’s strictly focused on special forces saving the world like marvel avengers Cod 4 you were special forces but in a more realistic way. And you were also a normal soldier in the us missions
That's what I liked about COD 4 most. It's grounded in reality. Nothing feels out of place, and something that could actually happen in real life (or happened). And then we have uRziKsTan
@@believer431 Yeap and the Russians should learn a thing from cpt McMillan like staying out of the irradiated zones but instead they dug trenches In Chernobyl. A lot of realistic things based off cod 4
@@TheBigBlackJoshiif I remember correctly, it’s more to do with legislation in California, where most of the CoD games are developed, having *very* strict regulations about gun advertising, as well as what constitutes gun advertising. So they don’t use the real names for guns because it runs the risk of opening up a real legal can of worms for them. They’ve used real gun names in the past (and anyone else remember the very prominent Remington and Colt logos on the ACR and CM901 gun.models on MW3?)
@@LongLiveHelghast in og mw2 remington paid activation to have the ACR feature prominently, came out in a sandy hook lawsuit and only hit the news a month ago so doubt it's gonna change
I remember how they promised releasing MW2R multi-player, just like they did for MWR. So I bought it digitally, excited for the OG MW2 feeling to come back. And they never released it...
one thing i miss about old cod is that the devs went out of their way with the attention to detail. world at war had the audio designers fire the real life weapons at various distances to capture how say a tommy gun sounds the closer or further away it is. My favorite detail in the series is that, in the mw2 mission of their own accord you can hear the battle turn against the Americans from the radio chatter. Where at first everyone is using it calmly and how everyone is trained to use it only to progressively start freaking out and panic as the battle gets worse.
I was gonna say that but you perfectly worded it I keep going back to that video that compiled the radio chatter with subtitles and man the part where soldiers are ordered to leave a mall full of civilians behind or the 2 A10s that get shot down are so great for what is background noise.
I think MW 2019 was a step in the right direction with Infinity Ward getting a lot of their old staff back to work on the game; their animation and sound design was top notch and some of their Campaign missions were really great. All to be wasted with Activision's greed with both MW2 (which I thought it was fine) and MW3 which should've spent a bit more time in the oven, but I guess Activision execs saw how successful the MW games were and thought that releasing an undercooked sequel was going to sell equally as well. Instead of letting the devs do their thing while Treyarch released their own title. I haven't bought MW3 but from what I've seen it should've just been an expansion to MW2 or a whole new season for their battlepass I suppose.
Better than the baby proofed "everybody is a special little butterfly" online chats of today. I'm glad I grew up in the last era where people still had some balls and took trash talk like champs.
The original MW is so much better than the new one. MW1 and 2 especially were masterpieces, but vastly different. The early cods felt different enough from each other, but still fun to play through.
i dont think the newer mw2 was a masterpiece Sure it was decent objectively (not amazing) but in comparison to almost any other older cod its genuine trash lots of issues i could address but that would take way too long
OG MW3 looks alot like action shooting game instead of military one since you were literally played as one of best squads along with disowned task force 141 comparison to cod4 and mw2 where it's actual war game
Masterpiece of a game. What other game has a competitive tutorial mission such as this one too? Trying to beat your time. The world record video of it is insane.
I remember buying CoD 4 MW1 at release with Unreal Tournament 3. Back then people were worried that jump from WW2 to modern times would be risky. Imagine my surprise when that risk paid off and arena FPS genre (Unreal, Quake) gone extinct in right away...
The jungle music that plays in all Ghillied up when you have to make a life or death sprint from the convoy to the warehouse always ALWAYS makes me shit my pants
Sometimes I'll play a mission or two of some of the old CoD games; with CoD 4 and WaW however, I always end up going through a third of the campaign before calling it a day. There's just something about them in particular that's compelling enough that hooks me in and keeps me engaged, in spite of braindead AI, grenade-spam and the sometimes frustrating checkpoint placement in some places (and Blowtorch and Corkscrew).
Anyone else finished the infamous ferris wheel defense on veteran in the remastered version? It was ABSURD. I'm convinced its impossible to beat without tricks. There is NO safe position. Safe from bullets? Not safe from the munitions bunker worth of nades that will soon be in your vicinity. You die within a second if exposed to fire, and you are exposed to fire from 360 degrees. If you manage to somehow survive, you will have to run to the helo in the open anyway, and you can guess how that goes down in veteran.
Camping behind bumper cars where they can't reach with grenades and only 1 way for them to get to you was the only way I was able to do it on remastered. On the original im pretty sure I just laid directly next to MacMillan, there was a spot where you could still aim and shoot but enemy bullets would just barely miss and hit the ground in front of you
I played it last year and haven't forgotten all ghillied up still! Such a memorable mission and a change of pace that isn't expected, this game is totally recommended for anyone reading this! Yes, even you! The game is really old, I'm sure your low end PC can take it :)
I was there when the cod4 took the king's crown in the fps with frenzy being either my house playing in it offline with internet being a semi mythical concept or the various internet/game coffee shops, whether they were your local net made by the cofee owner of the neighborhood or the chain shops around the world, counter strike lost for few years it's place. And cod 4 was the start of the casual modern era fps that reigned supreme for the era of 2007 to 2016.
Honestly, i liked mw19s and mw2022 campaign to an extent, but they feel kinda cheesy, if that makes sense. Dont even start with mw3 2023 The thing missing from the reboots are the grunt simulator aspect (not saying its a milsim) but they lack the missions where you play as a grunt in huge battles. Thats one reason why i prefer the og mw campaigns
MW19 felt like a real breath of fresh air for the series after a half decade or so in the doldrums (if you ignore Black Ops 3), and it had a very good, well written campaign that was quite fun. It’s just a shame the way the trilogy panned out. i feel IW took one step forward and ten steps back with MW22. In my opinion the campaign really jumped the shark (and my theory is it was hastily rewritten due to certain geopolitical events that were happening during the later stages of development). It really did lack some of the believability that MW19’s campaign had.
I'mma be honest, I'll always prefer MW1 over MW2 (let alone 3) because of its campaign. Just the right amount of action, just enough quiet moments. MW2 and 3 literally never let you breathe the entire campaign, which has its merits but I prefer the more thoughtful pace of CoD 4.
this game influenced me to set up my Ruger AR556 I bought similar to the default M4 in the campaign, but I used a Sig Romeo 7 for the red dot and added a magnifier, the vertical grip is similar, and the quadrail handguard to top it all off. Also one of the primary reasons I chose the Beretta 92Fs as my first handgun.
It feels so weird to hear someone say the graphics haven't aged gracefully because I remember it looking incredible on Xbox 360 back in the day due to it running at a rock fucking stable 60fps the whole way through _on a console,_ which wasn't very common for games I was playing at the time. This is of course less impressive to me now as I've become a PC gamer since then and that's just normal to me at this point but still, I guess it just throws me for a loop as much as hearing the game is 16 years old does.
My absolute favourite soundtrack from this game is "Loyalists". It plays at the VERY END of the campaign, and is damn beautiful. Just like this whole game.
I still play this game once in a while on a lan-party. Excellent fun and you can host you own local games, something that i dearly miss on the most modern titles, Nice video Joshi, 8 soaps out of 10 melons.
I've just recently finished COD4s campaign on hardened and This is so true. It's definitely fun but holy shit did some sections really give me a broken something (sanity not included). The flinch and grenade spam was unreal. I dread to think what it's like on hardened.
If you're quick enough u can sprint to the right side corner when entering the Tv station's main room and hide in a small hallway where the enemies are meant to spawn and just pick them off bit by bit while peeking the entryway, u will still get grenade spam but the area is so small for the grenades to land that u can easily throw them all back without much trouble
at the time when call of went to be the most well known game franchise ever (even more popular than fifa in mf FRANCE of all countries) i used to hate it it was one of the only game that my soccer/war addict played on the ps3 with our cousin while i didn't have the luxury of having sloppy seconds despite the hate i could recognise that the feel and gameplay of modern warfare 2 was simply just too addicting and i understood now i want the old times back when it comes to aaa games along with the good times why am i such a dick
I remember playing through CoD4 COUNTLESS TIMES on the 360 when we first got it and the console. I remember exploring the maps in depth looking for intel since I was a kid and didn't know you could use, ya know, the internet. And even then, when I found them and got the unlimited ammo cheat I used the shit out of it, remember finding out on War Pig the M16 with a grenade launcher shot the fastest with infinite ammo on compared to the other grenade launcher variants. Literally shot as fast as a machine gun, it was nuts. Shock and Awe I accidentally discovered an out of bounds glitch and explored that MASSIVE out of bounds area. I'm currently playing through on Veteran, but I CANNOT get through the holdout on One Shot, One Kill I'm at the part where the second half starts where all the helicopters spawn in. I've tried holding out behind the Ferris wheel in the grass, I've followed countless guides of telling me hide in the small sheds spread throughout, behind the bumper cars, you name it, I prolly already tried it. So, if anyone got tips it would be greatly appreciated!
Honestly if this youtube thing ever goes south you can always fall back on being an ad reader, at 3:19 I legit thought it changed to a pre recorded narator from nord lol
The campaigns of MW and MW2 hold remarkably well, they're badass, like a good Michael Bay movie in gaming format. It's not trying to be this serious thought provoking military drama like the remakes try and fail to be, it's a military shooter with great level design, awesome set pieces, memorable characters and MW2 has one of the best soundtracks ever made, it just pumps you up like there's no tomorrow.
2009 MW2 was all over the place and didn't know what it wanted to be. It was unfocussed crap. 2007s Modern Warfare was full of focus and didn't try to be an action movie. It was more grounded and level headed. A thinking man's war game. A game that symbolized the Bush era.
It's a shame they replaced the use of the track Showdown in Heat for the remaster, replacing it with what I think is Jeep Chase I could be wrong though.
MW really appealed to a differnet generations of gamers from yesteryears when the iraq war was fresh in peoples minds. I dont think games really had that kind of content because many actively tried to avoid the iraq war, while MW walked towards it; albeit set in a fictional iraq lookalike and the invasion under the same pretense of nuclear weapons. I think the only game tgat camme close besides call of duty (ypu could say ArmA counted too) was battlefield 2, but it lacked a single player campaign which is what people gravitated towards CoD for.
yeah, and it made call of duty go peak, especially from COD4 and COD6: MW2, with COD4 being told that it changed fps gaming, like the standardization of the controls for later FPS games being from that game alone.
The only Aussie game reviewer worth watching since Gman became full on GmanShills. Man 2007 was a banger year for FPS games. CoD4 and Halo 3 alone, good times. Raven's remaster is great for both CoD4 and CoD MW2. I hope they do the same for the real CoD MW3 2011. Damn shame there isn't a good replacement for a great CoD campaign since Activision Blizzard clearly don't care to give us one now. Even IGI Origins was cancelled.
Man, as a kid the CoD campaigns were the shit in my friend group, we must've played the campaign to MW and MW2 a hundred times while waiting for my friends pc to finish downloading a cracked copy of MW3, man those were the days
damn, this hits way too close to home, i started playing COD back in 2007 - 2009, but since i had a shitty PC and no internet connection, i resorted to play pirate copies of COD 1, COD 2 and COD 4, and being a brat that i was, i was unable to beat those games. only in 2017 after MWR was released that i set myself to play the classics, and to this day, there's a shitton of lines from COD 4 engraved in my memory, and more ofen that i like to admit, i catch myself saying "It's the FNG sir" or "What the hell kind of name is Soap, eh?!", i love this game, even though i never had the chance to play the muliplayer, the campaing lives in my heart, and i'll doubt that i'll ever play another modern war-themed FPS as good as this
People whining about how you camp with sniper when it's literally the whole point of sniper, they really expect a sniper to be lightweight marksman rifle or something.
thank you for another top tier vid joshi. Love me a good cod campaign to turn my brain off to. Would recommend Infinite Warfare's campaign if you're looking for more good stuff from Infinity Ward. Hope you have a great day!
Shooting in cod is decent but that's as far as I'll go, like hip-firing in cod games makes no sense like bullets don't come out the barrel at a 45 degrees angel as far as I'm aware

And even then, when I found them and got the unlimited ammo cheat I used the shit out of it, remember finding out on War Pig the M16 with a grenade launcher shot the fastest with infinite ammo on compared to the other grenade launcher variants. Literally shot as fast as a machine gun, it was nuts. Shock and Awe I accidentally discovered an out of bounds glitch and explored that MASSIVE out of bounds area. I'm currently playing through on Veteran, but I CANNOT get through the holdout on One Shot, One Kill I'm at the part where the second half starts where all the helicopters spawn in. I've tried holding out behind the Ferris wheel in the grass, I've followed countless guides of telling me hide in the small sheds spread throughout, behind the bumper cars, you name it, I prolly already tried it. So, if anyone got tips it would be greatly appreciated!
You speaking about gun sounds reminded me of Insurgency 1 and Insurgent Sandstorm. It would be so dope if you covered either/both of those Joshi.
Honestly if this youtube thing ever goes south you can always fall back on being an ad reader, at 3:19 I legit thought it changed to a pre recorded narator from nord lol
The campaigns of MW and MW2 hold remarkably well, they're badass, like a good Michael Bay movie in gaming format. It's not trying to be this serious thought provoking military drama like the remakes try and fail to be, it's a military shooter with great level design, awesome set pieces, memorable characters and MW2 has one of the best soundtracks ever made, it just pumps you up like there's no tomorrow.
2009 MW2 was all over the place and didn't know what it wanted to be. It was unfocussed crap. 2007s Modern Warfare was full of focus and didn't try to be an action movie. It was more grounded and level headed. A thinking man's war game. A game that symbolized the Bush era.
It's a shame they replaced the use of the track Showdown in Heat for the remaster, replacing it with what I think is Jeep Chase I could be wrong though.
MW really appealed to a differnet generations of gamers from yesteryears when the iraq war was fresh in peoples minds. I dont think games really had that kind of content because many actively tried to avoid the iraq war, while MW walked towards it; albeit set in a fictional iraq lookalike and the invasion under the same pretense of nuclear weapons.
I think the only game tgat camme close besides call of duty (ypu could say ArmA counted too) was battlefield 2, but it lacked a single player campaign which is what people gravitated towards CoD for.
I wonder if Joshi will do a Spec Ops The Line video
Need this to be real
classic MW trilogy beats everything
yeah, and it made call of duty go peak, especially from COD4 and COD6: MW2, with COD4 being told that it changed fps gaming, like the standardization of the controls for later FPS games being from that game alone.
I got called a shoe shiner in multiplayer, good times
So we came to the days the people call CoD4 "the other modern warfare" huh
@@mrsyph we really getting older
The only Aussie game reviewer worth watching since Gman became full on GmanShills.
Man 2007 was a banger year for FPS games. CoD4 and Halo 3 alone, good times.
Raven's remaster is great for both CoD4 and CoD MW2. I hope they do the same for the real CoD MW3 2011.
Damn shame there isn't a good replacement for a great CoD campaign since Activision Blizzard clearly don't care to give us one now. Even IGI Origins was cancelled.
IM NOT AUSTRALIAN OH MY GOD
@@TheBigBlackJoshiwait do you get this alot? People thinking youre aussie?
Man, as a kid the CoD campaigns were the shit in my friend group, we must've played the campaign to MW and MW2 a hundred times while waiting for my friends pc to finish downloading a cracked copy of MW3, man those were the days
damn, this hits way too close to home, i started playing COD back in 2007 - 2009, but since i had a shitty PC and no internet connection, i resorted to play pirate copies of COD 1, COD 2 and COD 4, and being a brat that i was, i was unable to beat those games. only in 2017 after MWR was released that i set myself to play the classics, and to this day, there's a shitton of lines from COD 4 engraved in my memory, and more ofen that i like to admit, i catch myself saying "It's the FNG sir" or "What the hell kind of name is Soap, eh?!", i love this game, even though i never had the chance to play the muliplayer, the campaing lives in my heart, and i'll doubt that i'll ever play another modern war-themed FPS as good as this
that main menu theme song is too good
I think the majority of cod fans can agree that the golden era started with cod 4 and ended with cod bo2
Absolutely
@@TheBigBlackJoshi thanks mate have a good day
@@alessandrocanale6189no offense but no one would disagree with you lmao literally that's what everyone says
@@neomachine855 yeah you rigth about it
I fucking love "The Coup" and "War Pig" tracks
one of my favorite campaigns to play and I can't believe Activision dropped the ball on this franchise throughout its latest iterations.
I usually hate sniping in games (because I'm bad at it) but there really is something satisfying about using sniper rifles in this game
People whining about how you camp with sniper when it's literally the whole point of sniper, they really expect a sniper to be lightweight marksman rifle or something.
POV: cod4's soundtrack is unforgeteble
Me: cod4 have sountrack ?
9:59 That song is sick, which is it? I don't think it's any from the description
Call of duty black ops, redemption is the name
Soap forgot to use nordvpn and that's how he died in OG MW3 by makarov 😭
that Raf Reg skit fucking caught well of fucking guard 🤣
4:15 the bottom name sounds like a Scottish kid arguing with his dad "yeah? well fukuda!"
What about the AC-130? 😢
thank you for another top tier vid joshi. Love me a good cod campaign to turn my brain off to. Would recommend Infinite Warfare's campaign if you're looking for more good stuff from Infinity Ward. Hope you have a great day!
Man i miss the big fucking battles now we got this bullshit thats called "open combat"
COD 4 VIDEO ESSAY LETS GOO
omg i grew up with cod4 campaign, i remember playing the campaign on my dad's old xbox 360, prob the reason i prefer it over mw2
Used to watch my dad playing this on Veteran. Good times
@@TheBigBlackJoshifr
It was my first cod campaign to ever play with before BO1
Wish you mentioned the "mile high club" mission song. Shit is a banger
Shooting in cod is decent but that's as far as I'll go, like hip-firing in cod games makes no sense like bullets don't come out the barrel at a 45 degrees angel as far as I'm aware
do COD MW2,
You know, the one where your hone your watermelon murdering skill so much, you are able to headshot the melons even if you are 5 feet away
COD black ops 1 is my beloved.
Thank you for the unatco music
lovely video when you revisit a classic from the mid 2000s but i really want to see you make a video on black ops 1 and 2. especially for the potential amount of jokes you can make from them.
This was the fist game I got with my Xbox 360 only 11 years old nothing is as good as that game play
Cant Wait Till He Rates MW2009 Game Had Epic Soundtrack Albeit A Little Bombastic
For everyone who had to carry macmillan to the helicopter on veteran, God bless you
....... I just bought this game two days ago lol. Wanted to relive the glory days
lmao i started replaying the game like 5 hours before this was posted. good video.
I think the heat mission in Call Of Duty 4 is harder the mile high club
Bloc with the Barrett
Another great video as always Yoshi. I always prioritise your videos.
How you beat this game on Veteran I'll never know. I couldn't get past Safehouse on that. Hope you stream it so I can watch you suffer :)
Despite me loving World at war and also like MW2 (the original) MW original is where the series has peaked.
Franchise peak, and it's not even close.
Turn up that UNATCO theme
Deus Ex OST is an absolute banger, love the UNATCO theme
You need to talk about World at War now.
8:14 is that a Russian Badger reference
We Need S.T.A.L.K.E.R review blyat
Loved this well done Josh
Cod 4 is the only og cod you can play safely with getting hacked because it's server browser based I don't know how works this Quake 3 Frankenstein
