"too often, too many" proved to be prophetic
I was thinking the same thing when I saw that comment in the video!
But the shareholders will never be satisfied.
Not when it comes to Ahoy 😭
@@MarkiusFox indeed. Because for them, it's not enough to make all of the money in the world. They want you to make all of the money in the world *and then some* the next year, because that makes the stock price go up, and that's how they make *their* money.
"I hope i'm wrong." Oh i am so, so sorry Borys
"I fear the CoD franchise will go the Tony Hawk route - too often, too many
I hope I'm wrong"
You weren't Borys. You weren't ;-;
"And you were right [Borys]. That must be a novel experience for you."
Lets not forget how Busty saw the future after getting drunk 😂
it's ironic, since Neversoft was merged with what was left of infinity ward

Favorite mission of my teenage years.
Unbelievable we didn't got loads of missions/games in that style.
Is this the series that had you murdering queuing passengers?
@@iwanttocomplainyes, albeit it's only in one mission in Modern Warfare 2. It's called No Russian.
@@mercenarydelta7351 I was thinking about the stories in this game and thinking they are not Tolstoy are they.
@@iwanttocomplain It certainly isn't, the mission is about the shock value for sure. But to be clear it's a mission where a Russian terrorist organisation incites open conflict by masquerading as Americans and gunning down Russian civilians. Ending with the player, who's character is in fact an undercover American operative, being left for dead and this is what actually ties the whole act together.
So a little more complex than 'shoot innocent people'.
Assuming I remember it right.
All Ghillied Up is indescribable
I love how that guy in 2006 was complaining about Activision milking COD.
That was certainly not a unique sentiment at the time. Keep in mind that there were two other console exclusive COD games, not made by IW, not mentioned here (Finest Hour and Big Red One) so when COD3 was coming out it was the fifth game in 3 years (plus the expansion for COD).
@@88porpoise All good games but I can see it's easier to say now. And it's funny he angrily predicted another WW2 game considering that World At War has the best campaign of all the WW2 CODs.

Was in Mosul, Iraq when this game was released getting ready to redeploy back home. So many of the boys got copies of this game for PC on laptop, and some of the CHUs even managed to set up lan play to do multiplayer with each other using ethernet (we were a Signal battalion lol). Was pretty wild to be playing a game like this while actively deployed, but it sure took the edge off during long waits in airfields, and back in Kuwait, while sitting in tents waiting for your unit to move. The Kuwaiti KBR tents used to have this installed on their PCs as well for troops spending leave in theater.
I bet there were soldiers who would find a character in the campaign with the name of a buddy and shout across the tent “Yo Pvt. Dipshit! You’re in the game!”

They'd stack them side by side on wooden platforms along the sand, sometimes beneath camo netting and that would be the barracks with several bunks inside. Usually 2-6 people per unit depending on the size of the container. These were pretty standard in fobs during the latter half of the war for many branches in larger bases like Baghdad, Mosul, etc. My first deployment when the campaign started we lived in tent cities, if we were lucky hehe, so these were a lot better by the time CoD4 came out lol. Was nice to have a more reliable place to bunk down.

Infinity Ward cancelled the "Halo killer" to make Call of Duty 4. Little did they know Call of Duty 4 was the real Halo killer all along.
While I won't deny that Halo had run its course by that point, neither did Bungie. They knew it was time to move on so they did. It was Microsoft that couldn't, and after that point 343 has done more to kill Halo than any outside company ever did.
the real halo killer ended up being halo itself@@Killerduck0213
Was the Halo Killer, Titanfall?
@@Killerduck0213 Microsoft's problem is that they would much rather milk existing franchises to death than let their developers create new IPs. Halo should have ended with Reach but Microsoft wanted Halo to be like what Mario is to Nintendo.
@@BaneOfXistence4 Yes.
2:30: Probably for the best. "2015" is a name that presumably sounded futuristic in 1997, but it would sound a lot less futuristic in (say) 2022.
But sure as hell feels nostalgic, imagine a studio named 2015 making retro indie games now, like a flip point on the timeline.
This video actually made me a bit emotional lol. I was 13 when COD4 released and this video just brought back so much nostalgia and appreciation for that moment in my life. I remember seeing the multiplayer teasers showing the perks and was so incredibly excited to play. I signed up for the beta and when I got that email and was accepted I felt like the luckiest kid on earth. Finally, I played the beta ALL night and completely fell in love. Things like gaining XP, upgrading all your gear and adjusting perks were mind-blowing because I had never experienced anything like that before....In my second game I asked somebody "how do you get the red dot on your weapon" and they told me I can customize my weapon!?
Simpler times back then, grateful to have experienced that era of gaming
It's funny that even the forum comments make me feel nostalgic. Subreddits these days are terrible places to discuss games.
I like that the one guy that was bemoaning the Call of Duty franchise being "run into the ground" was spot-on, even his prediction of "another WW2 game 9-12 months after modern warfare" was accurate. However, what he didn't know at the time was that both Modern Warfare and World at War would become two of the most beloved FPS games in history.
It was the golden age of shooter games
@@Amanitaland Infinity Ward made a brilliant decision to kill off the "Halo Killer" project. Only one thing could kill Halo, and that was Halo itself. Anyone else that even attempted to encroach on its territory were lost and forgotten to time.
i dont know what world at war is but we all Loved Modern Warfare and its legendary.
@@krono5elWorld At War is Treyarch's last WW2 game. It's the birthplace of the zombies mode and it takes place in the black ops timeline.
@@krono5el It's the best WWII shooter ever made. It's basically COD4, but WWII.

Can’t believe I’ve been watching Ahoy videos for 12years!! How time flies. I remember being 14, freshman in high school watching their black ops 2 weapon breakdowns. Now I’m turning 26 in two weeks, still watching his CoD videos!
Holy crap, it all comes full circle. What started as a series of COD game guides returns as a COD retrospective. Now that's hype!
Wow, 3 Ahoy videos in one year (so far). So awesome!
Ikr? And he's really going back to his roots here, he used to do COD videos (there's even footage of him at a live event, I believe celebrating MW3's release)
Yeah I feel like he must have been spending the months developing multiple videos at the same time so he could drop them all very close to each other. We're being spoiled for how many Ahoy documentaries we're getting
4 i think. G36, doom, poppy game and modern warfare.
maybe he sorted out, whatever was troubling him, in his life?
You can't rush art.
Shoutout to my late grandpa for getting me this for Christmas when I was little. Got me this game when I was like 10 because he asked the cashier guy what the best game was at the time, and told him call of duty 4. He fought in Vietnam so he didn’t care if it was too “mature” for me. Still blows my mind my grandpa who never even touched a video game introduced me to one of the greatest games ever! Legend!
why ya lyin faaaah?
@@idonthearnobell7362 He also used to say I was his number one grandson by giving me the middle finger and I would give it back and say he was my number one grandpa! Sorry your grandparents didn’t give you enough love buddy
@@CaleebTalib cook that fraud
What a Chad
Awesome story your grandfather sounds like he was a great guy
1:40 That bell hits and all the music and all the moments stream back into my head
Some of the best of times were playing with a friend who would come over, and we would take turns each game until the sun came up. Was such an incredible time for FPS's.
Nice to see you here man. Two goat content creators
For real, OG MW1/2, Black Ops 1, and Halo 3 were the peak of video games
Call of Duty 4 really did set a standard for first person shooters to come, and quite honestly marked the beginning of Call of Duty's golden age. I can't tell you how many hours I ended up spending playing it and MW2 with friends over Xbox Live. Crazy times
The sun came up when the 8th gen consoles arrived. Nothing can beat the FPS titles of the 2000s and early 2010s: Halo 1 through to Halo Reach, OG Modern Warfare trilogy, Black Ops 1 & 2, Half-life 2, F.E.A.R, Crysis 1, Battlefield 2 & 3 & the Bad Company games etc.
Great times
In retrospect a lot of the older COD titles have a soul to them. Makes you wonder how the franchise would have progressed if the releases weren't made into annual cash grabs. And the teams had as much passion into it as the original.
COD players are delusionals (not as Valve fans), 60$ game every year, 60$ worth of DLC that were coincidentally published the same month every year... easy to say that when your parents used to buy your games
The answer to that is Titanfall, Titanfall 2 and Respawn Entertainment, which is where most of the original Infinity Ward crew went after the Activision bust up. But then they sold up to EA so...
@@fix0the0spade hm I never knew IW guys were behind Titanfall. Maybe I'll actually go and give call of duty a real shot for once.
COD4 campaign has all the spectacle but theres a lot of little things that really makes it stand out.
@@themacintoshnerdGive self-deletion a real and honest try. Most of your kind eventually end up doing it.
Ahoy Hoy.

It’s crazy how many Ahoy videos have been coming out
He's really spoiling us this month!
I’ll never forget buying my Xbox 360 and going into a game store and seeing Modern Warfare on the shelf. I had already heard the rumblings of how impressive it was from friends of mine so on a whim, I purchased it. 24 hrs later, most of my friends had the game as well as I would not stop talking about it. The graphics. The incredible multiplayer maps. The single player campaign with Soap and Price. I cannot possibly count the amount of memories of my friends and I going up against all odds at all hours of the night with this game. The close matches. The screaming into the microphone. This game will ALWAYS be one the cornerstones of my young adult years in the best possible way.
100% this. CoD 4 will forever be my favorite game, not simply for the game itself, but for the whole experience. Nothing can surpass the 1600+ hours of multiplayer fun with friends. Untouchable memories.
Same here. I basically lived in this game for years.
Bro it was mid at best
For me that would be WWF no mercy and GoldenEye 007 👍
young adult with a mentality of a children, you aren't aware of saying that?
damn that fucking punch of nostalgia with that logo parody
is the game even good? all i see is zoomers bragging how these shit console shooters are nostalgic, probably not.
@@DrundeFPS I don't think zoomers were the right age for this game. The oldest ones would have been about 11 when this came out, it was mainly just younger millennial teens. The sequel MW2 in 2009 was the one where the zoomers really got their hands on CoD, and then Black Ops 2 from 2012 was when it was dominated by the wider zoomer age range.
The games were fine, simple and good fun, nothing complex to learn, basically the zoomer's equivalent to the millennials and Counter Strike.
It's legitimately nice to see you still have at least a good amount of affection for this franchise, despite abandoning those weapon guides long ago. I haven't played COD since BO2, and I went through my "COD was always bad" phase, but looking back this is definitely an important franchise in FPS history.
So glad to see the videos still rolling out!!!
Christ. Its still difficult for me to comprehend that this game came out 17 years ago.
I wish i didnt read this. I knew it came out a while ago but I made my brain not do the math so i could live in blissful ignorance
incoming freshmen at college about to be younger than CoD 4.. feelin old now
GTA V came 11 years ago. some of the kids playing the game weren't even born when it came out.
Right? I was a newborn baby when it was released you guys from before its existence probably feel like dinosaurs
COD4 is about as old this year as the original Game Boy was when COD4 was released.
It’s hard to articulate just how special the first Call of Duty was.
I remember getting the demo with PC gamer the spring/summer of ‘03 and it just blew me away. The sounds of the guns, the visual effects when an explosion went off and the audio went muted, the cries of your squad mates as you cleared fields and buildings.
The whole thing was just overwhelmingly amazing.
For me, this was my experience with World at War. Despite being 5 years old at the time, my parents did let me play the game and I was absolutely mesmerized by the experience. It was so brutal, so visceral, and absolutely enthralled me in some sort of way. I swear, I remember every word of Reznov's speech to Dmitri in the Vendetta mission.
Nothing could capture playing that mission, and the whole game if I'm being honest, for the first time. My first actual experience with the horrors of war, and once I saw that ending text - "60 million lives were lost as a result of World War II. It was the most destructive and deadly conflict in human history," it just shook me. It was very, very eye opening.
@@MidnightPlus1 i have a very similar experience with it.
Verbatim, me
Yeah, nowadays it's impossible to have a game with semi-realistic guns without ADS unless it's a pure arcade shooter.
so much nostalgia it hurts
Real Treat to see this channel being so active.

I always get chills hearing the MoH Theme. Something about that slow and sweet brass sound always hits home.

@@spyczech Airborne was great! and european assault also was really good
I didn't even recognize it and got the strongest chills I think I ever have just hearing it, lul.
uhh I hate to burst your bubble, but that isn't the Airborne theme, it's the theme of the very first game in the series (Medal Of Honor) which Airborne simply borrowed for the intro cutscene.
always makes my day when Ahoy finally drops a new video
Great video as always thank you for the work.
Anyone that grew up playing Xbox 360 with a Gold membership was either playing CoD 4 or Halo 3, which came out just 2 months before Modern Warfare. Two of the best multiplayer games ever made, both released in the same year. I slept, went to school, did homework, ate, and played these 2 games, that was it. Even if I went for a sleepover at a friend's house I would take my Xbox so we could play online whilst in the same room. The nostalgia is hitting so hard right now, I wish I could go back
You played this when you was a kid? Game filled with gen z kids.
MW is just a masterpiece. The campaign, the atmosphere everything is just perfection
Miss the day where you get the rewards from playing the game, not paying the game
Ahoy's been banging them out this year, and I am here for it.
First Jacob Geller, now Ahoy. What a great time for CoD retrospectives
back when mutltiplayers were focused on being fun, and skins were rewarded based on your skills not on how big ur wallet was, getting a golden deagle meant you actually deserved it , but now u can get them for swipping a credit card such a shame people nowadays can't experience old school multiplayers
I loved this game so much that i got red tiger on EVERY single gun
Camo grinds still exist bro, they didn't disappear.
Oh boy another old good new bad comment typed through the lens of rose tinted glasses.
@@Cr3zant difference is there was never an incentive to buy skins instead of playing for it back they were achievable enough in its length but most importantly it was fun as hell.
still it was awful alot of complains back then cod fans has never been happy
Any time Ahoy uploads its an event
Unless it's a celebration of the blandest worst ip in the industry. DLC or whatever aside. This is the same game as the original utterly uninventive fps shooting game as vanilla as Halo. I wouldn't even notice if it disappeared forever. In fact, I think the air might seem a bit cleaner.

Aw man, hit me in the feels here. I was right there from the start, lived all the highs, and saw it stoop below the lowest lows. I guess the real Call of Duty was the friends we made along the way - which I did, and still game with!
Great to have Ahoy back! Excellent documentary. 👍👍
In 2020, 14 year old me was in a Goodwill and found a CD copy of COD4 MW. It even had the original Walmart receipt in the case. I had never played a COD game in my life, and took it home to pop into my PC. The campaign helped grow my love for story-driven games that I have today.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare changed the game forever and will always will. The golden age would've never happen without Call of Duty 4. End of story.
lol. The golden age had been in full swing for 10/15 years when MW was released. It's a great game, but it didn't kickstart anything.
It may however have been one of the last titles before excessive monetization became a thing, so I fondly remember it for that.
@@pseudonayme7717 Almost no mainline games had a storyline and multiplayer to that level at the time besides maybe halo. It still stands alone to this day as the most influential game of the 21st century bar none!
@@CaleebTalib Could not disagree more. I prefer COD World at War. Better storyline, better characters, better voice acting and a longer, more challenging campaign.
I know however that I'm an outlier in that regard.😄
@@pseudonayme7717 World at war campaign has its moments but it doesn’t really register that it’s supposed to portraying the bloodiest war of all time besides maybe the intro scene.

Jeez, Stu. You have really been spoiling us in the last few months with the videos we have been getting. Going back to your own roots, I suppose. Either way, I'm all for it to have more from you. Thank you again for making an awesome weekend!
That CoD4 menu music is just pure heroin. I was 20 years old. I was waiting to leave for basic training. I had 6 months, my buddy’s PS3, and CoD4. I couldn’t get enough. The silenced M4 was my jam. I prestiged several times on PS3. After basic I got an Xbox 360 Elite and CoD4. Prestiged several times on there. MW2 and 3 were great. But nothing hit like the glory days of MW. Those maps are ingrained in my memory. Especially Chinatown since it was new version of a CoD2 map that I loved. Great video.
Well done, you guys should make more of these type of documentaries
I teared up, remembering all these years of playing call of duty on a friend's xbox360 cod 4 and then having my own PS3 with modern warfare 2. One of those things that cannot be replicated ever again
Holy shit, Ahoy is cooking! Glad to see so much content
So good to see you again Ahoy! I insta-clicked this notification! Thankful for the Bell on YT 🙏🏼🙌🏼
on a great positive note from my childhood, the intro scene in the Stalingrad assault in CoD: Finest Hour is cemented in my memory. To this day I'll go back and watch playthroughs. its insane

Seeing Ahoy upload a COD video after such a long time is insane, literally peak 10/10 chef’s kiss content right here.
Great video, as always. Cheers Ahoy
11:31 You know, it's funny that that came from a guy named Mandark. I even imagined his iconic laugh after that comment was read.
This is still objectively the best CoD game. Not in terms of one single moment, or even balance, but in terms of objective, raw quality.
The game can be measured by both its incredible well-made gameplay, concisely written story, and the gargantuan impact it left behind by creating the first legitimate CoD multiplayer system.
Oh yeah, and rip OG Gaz, you will be missed, brother.
Thats subjective to your opinion of it
The multiplayer was incredibly fun, MW2 was so bad compared to it, the maps were cramped, the spawns were stupid and there were too many useless perks and guns. It was too consolized, they showed that they didn't care for PC anymore when they dropped support for dedicated servers;
cod4 was peak in the series, when they tried to add more it ruined the experience.

I remember playing the Xbox 360 campaign demo with the javelin launcher section and it absolutely blew my mind. Leading the projectile felt space age and I couldn't believe such a device actually existed.
My dad was also very excited for COD 4 and sold off a third or more of our pristine original Xbox library (Hulk Ultimate Destruction, Republic Commando, Bafflefront 1 & 2, Amazing(?) Spiderman, and some others) to GameStop in order to buy COD 4 used for $50.
Saw the title, heard the audio, instant sub. Well done
I am not used to this many ahoy videos within such a short timespan.
Good Stuff!
I watched your gun videos a decade ago. Good to see you’re still around
Another fantastic video Ahoy
Ahoy is on a kino spree
When Ahoy drops a new vid and truly hits you with true nostalgia, especially with the one game I first played and owned on the Xbox 360, whilst my brother also got Halo 3 that same year. And I truly agree, the original Modern Warfare trilogy, and the first Black Ops, were all absolute SOLID TITLES. I still remember how shocked and blown away I was the first time playing all those games. True Shock and Awe indeed. Thank you again very much Ahoy, for reminding us all of a time in gaming history, when Call of Duty truly went deep, and went hard, and for the better.
This is a stroll down memory lane love these types of videos
I'm surprised we haven't got an Ahoy retrospective on the original Rainbow Six, considering the channel's focus on modern firearms in games.
How the game came to be and its development are pretty interesting imo. Not to mention the way it pioneered the tac shooter genre and ofc the franchise's resulting modern legacy.
Why do I see an Ahoy upload? Is it Christmas already?
