“You’re a demon spawn now…. you’re an abomination.”
Truer words have never been spoken. Great video man!
can you unban me
Guess we've all been anticipating this one for a while now.
Paper mario thousand year door vid plz
Finally
The reason they didnt recognize makarov at the airport is because he was wearing a shirt. They only had the picture of him shirtless so they didnt recognize him in clothes
LOOOOOOOL
It's canon now 😂
Lol
CANON
IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
“My last years speech was longer than Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 campaign.” -Kratos
😂
Imagine a game being so bad even the VA for kratos has to talk about it 💀
He dint lie
Summed up perfectly
first was the making fun of microtransactions on the game awards 2017 now this year is kratos telling the audience and the viewers that his speech was longer then this years cod campaign
Farah admitting to working with Shadow Company is so brainrottingly stupid it had to have been written as a joke that got taken seriously. Remember when Price drew a GUN on Yuri after punching him down a flight of stairs because Makarov said his name once??? And now Price is just cool with Farah dropping the fact that shes working with the enemy like its nothing. What?
Spc. Cost not capt price
You kinda got it a little wrong. Price hit and threatened Yuri because Soap told him Makarov knows him before he died, and so, Price interrogated Yuri for what he knows about Makarov.
^ You’re splitting hairs. OP’s point still stands. They’ve toned the violence down in a literal game about war. Makes no sense.
Because that would make a woman seem flawed in a modern western video game. Can't have that anymore. Think about it. When was the last time a female character was allowed to have a character flaw in your recent memory?
Ghost in 2022: "Hey, tell us what we want to know, or we'll drain your bank account"
Ghost in 2009: "Hey, tell us what we want to know or i'll blowtorch you until the skin melts off your bones"
Fun fact, in the original game, Ghost use a car battery to electrocute Roja's assistant, but in the remaster, he use a blowtorch. It could be an attempt at censorship, but I really doubt it since burning is as, if not more painful
@@ahmadsuleman9045 I know, i honestly liked the remaster ”scene” more just for that reason, blowtorch is so much scarier and painful, but yeah, you’re right
@@EliaGram The point still stands, it's pretty pitiful that TF 141 doesn't so much as hit Milena, especially since COD has a track record of not sparing women from violence
@@ahmadsuleman9045 exactly
I think its because they were zapping his balls with the battery. That was the insinuation @@ahmadsuleman9045
If you weren’t happy with the way Soap died, don’t worry. He’ll be back next season of warzone when it’s revealed that the person who was shot was actually his twin brother Shampoo
Where's conditioner ?
@@FarHuntCH main villain of MW5
Where’s hand sanitizer?
@@The_okayattorney DLC
What about bleach
I miss the days when the campaign was the drawing point of the cod series
Me too. I would rather have a good campaign than any multiplayer
Amen to that.
When I was a kid, I bought the old WW2 CoDs the same way I bought the old Medal of Honor games: to be immersed in the campaign and learn about history.
Even when they shifted to modern and futuristic times, I still enjoyed the campaign. To see CoD reduced to...this sorry state... is heart-rending.
"Skewer the winged beast!!"
To be fair, Campaign hasn’t been the main draw of the franchise since 2006. Yeah, a CoD game isn’t complete without the campaign, multiplayer, and a third mode, but let’s not pretend the main reason people play CoD isn’t to hop on MP with the boys.
So never?
Never has The Act Man been so wrong in his review. You see, the reason why Alex survived the explosion, Graves survived the tank, Price immediately got back up from the gas, and eventually Soap will be revealed to have survived from getting head-shoted, is all because…
They had FAMILY
Nah you almost got me
I can practically hear dom torretto’s theme with this comment
@@endoskel9262 Practically? I fuckin' can.
Compare “five years ago, I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just fucking watched” to “im not going out like this, i want my name on a win”. It’s the most neutered tactless downgrade in character and the whole game reflects that
It's painful to have a bland Shepherd because he has no real reason to be there
You can already tell that when he decided to be good again
I think one of the reasons why there’s no Music is because Sarah Schancher, the soundtrack designers for MW2019 and MWII, actually left Call of Duty after the latter came out. Yes even the soundtrack designers had toxic workplace issues.
Shame. She really made some absolute bangers for MW2019, I still play Piccadilly circus when working out to this day.
Combined with the tight deadline there probably wasn't any time to grab a new soundesigner. Wouldn't have been surprised if they just grabbed old MW2019-22 tracks
Another casualty of stolen breast milk
lol if we're talking about the latest reboot of MW they had no clue 😂 They butchered the original theme
@@TheActMan damn, thought that was just a blizzard thing. Lol
So they say that the gas they use in the campaign is "highly concentrated sarin gas." Sarin is a nerve agent which means that it blocks the enzime in your body that tells your nerve receptors to deactivate, meaning your muscles can contract but not release. Direct expose to sarin like breathing it in will cause you to be symtomatic in less than 60 seconds (general paralysis of limbs)and dead in 4 minutes (from paralysis of heart or lungs). However there is a "antidote." Atropine works by filling your system with what is basically an artifical version of that enzyme from earlier, filling your body with so much of it that it dilutes the nerve agent and shuts off your muscles nerve receptors. So all your muscles relax, including your bootyhole so you will crap your pants. After that you need to keep up with regular injections of another chemical until all of the nerve agent is out of your system. So Price should have either died painfully over several minutes, or been hit with an autoinjector, shit his pants then spend serveral days in a hospital. Also this was done in a 10 minute google search, they had 16 months.
Sarin gas is very strange; I too have read about how immediately lethal it is. Yet actual sarin gas attacks have been fairly mild, compared to what we're told should happen--far fewer people died despite widespread exposure. It doesn't appear to actually be as lethal in the real world.
@@billjacobs521 It's a difficult compound to disperse, same issue as with most chemical/biological agents; they're difficult to to get the delivery system correct (thank fuck). The fact that it's pretty damn illegal to experiment with proper delivery systems means that it's use in the "wild" has mixed results.
Sarin gas is also colorless and odorless, so it shouldnt be green. Clearly it was supposed to be Nova 6 but they backed out at the last second for no reason
@@ahmadsuleman9045yeah I figured it was nova, since some dude literally melted from it when Price when up the rope, which made it more jarring Price survived it.
@@ahmadsuleman9045why tf would it be nova 6, makes no sense for the lore since only top secret governments had it, not terrorists groups and doesn’t make sense in game since that’d mean price, Laswell and even Yuri are immortal
"sURe THinG, faRAh! lET's gO GEt tHoSe MiSsiLEs!!!" 😂😂😂
my biggest issue with this game's campaign is that you're always sent in with no support. the characters dont feel like soldiers, they feel like superheros. i recently played trepang² (its really good but obscure) where you are a *SUPER SOLDIER* and they STILL SEND YOU IN WITH A SQUAD TO BACK YOU UP
Thats what I hated about MW2 2022, these characters began to feel like the fucking avengers , and by mw3 TF141 is basically the avengers
Funny thing about Graves' reveal he was still alive: Alex says that the tank incident was in South America. MW2 took place in Mexico, which is in North America. The writers don't even know basic geography and think everything south of the US is South America.
M8 this game is the worst FPS of the past 20 years, there is not a single redeeming factor inside, its the most soulless attempt to reshape a success into a new one and then failed in everything, its like the sledgehammer that worked lost all of the original staff and now only NPC's who used CHAT GPT are working now.
You reminded me of the Cold War campaign. In the brief with Reagan, he says he approved their last mission which takes place before his inauguration date. Treyarch can't even Google simple things like correct dates.
they actually made EA this year appears like a decent company if that isnt impressive idk what is.@@austinmurphy2153
ffs how tf did i miss that. god damn it sledgehammer
Well duh, they call it South America because it's SOUTH OF AMERICA.
23:24 In the original game, the airport massacre is the event that puts the campaigns plot into motion, in 2023 it’s just another attack that has no repercussions at all
I think robbing us of No Russian really made Makarov seem way less evil than in the original. The original mission not only forced the player into an uncomfortable position, but also made us realize how truly despicable Makarov and his followers are. Its such a huge missed opportunity all for the sake of "not triggering people"
@@bjones243especially since shooting those civilians was our choice. Reply the mission, you could literally play it with out shooting one civilian. WE did that, it was OUR choice
Not to mention the whole false flag aircraft terrorist attack leading to a complete nothing burger.
@@ntfoperative9432I don't know if it was on purpose but the game kinda takes that responsibility away from you since you're told that you have to gain makarov's trust and doing so will save a lot of lives. So you just tell yourself "I may be killing those civilians but it will be worth it in the end, I'll save more lives afterwards"
@@zaer-ezart but that decision is still yours. Do you think it is worth it?
COD should have unique timeplace every year
Tryarch - history/past
Infinity ward - modern
Sledgehammer - sci fi
Now:
All 3 - shit
Bro i see your video its great wow keep in going i play multiplayer watch out my channel #@multiplayerps5
Exactly they are awful
On top of that, a release every two years, giving each of them much more time to work on their games.
We’re getting to the point where they’ll have to make a civil war game
I love how Farah explicitly tells Price that she's hiding secrets from him then instantly asks if he trusts she's being honest as if she didn't just admit she's not???
My favorite genre, which i call Military Vaguery. People randomly hiding essential information from allies to keep an atmosphere of intrigue. Soldiers are not superspies, cut tat shit out.
God that made her character so god awful
That honestly made me start to hate the character, and I honestly enjoyed her in 2019 and bits of 22
Something that I really loved about og soap is how selfless he was, even after he heard Makarov call Yuri "my friend" he still made sure to get Yuri out of the building before himself.
I was not expecting this to blow up, I even got a like from the Act Man himself!
Yup yup, RIP Soap again. 141 got a character assassinated, even the new cast got character assassinated.
The new soap looks so goofy to me. I don't know why but he has that naive and cliché personality of "I'm a good guy so I shoot bad guy! Killing is bad!"
OG soap was more nuanced. He inspired you, he felt badass and earned our respect
@@zaer-ezartI often see people say that the characters in the new trilogy are better than their old versions because the new ones are more developed. While that’s technically true because they have more dialogue and screen time in cutscenes, they’re still written pretty poorly. More development does not automatically mean better written. At least the old characters actually felt like soldiers and not manchildren running around with airsoft guns.
@@GLC48 While gas is more developed since he's been in 3 games instead of one, I DON'T understand why people prefer the new price to the old one. The old price was a battle hardened veteran with a badass voice, when he was around you felt safe because you knew he was there to protect you and with his experience he would rarely get caught off guard. He oozed with charisma and authority. The new price has nothing of that. He's supposed to be this veteran who's seen it all yet he's caught off guard and outsmarted in almost every mission
@@zaer-ezart His face is almost uncanny behind Russian Ben Shapiro.
“To play a wrong note is insignificant, to play without passion is inexcusable.”
A quote by Beethoven that can loosely be applied to game development at this point. “To mess up one line of code or release behind schedule is insignificant, to develop a game with no passion is inexcusable” or something like that.
Alexa, define shoehorn
@@kesterlimpo4854 How are they wrong, though?
i would argue theres alot more passion behind this which sledgehammer has put in compared to what infinity wards has done for MWII 2022. The multiplayer is really fun and the amount of camos and weapons sledgehammer is releasing for absolutely free is allmost unheard of in COD ever since advanced warfare rolled around. The campaign is shit yet but i can hardly fault sledge for it, 16 months to develop a game is absolutely no time at all and yes i was disappointed but i dont hold it against them. Zombies is great, warzone is great and multiplayer is fast paced. Is it a good game to me? Yes, to you, you may think differently, but i dont think its fair to say sledgehammer isnt passionate about this game.
@k3tara178 zombies sucks ass, warzone sucks, and the only thing good about this game is the movement that's it. Not worth $110 AUD for a FUCKING SHIT DLC. yet of course people have shit taste and won't play any other games except CoD
@@k3tara178OMG THEY DID THE BARE MINIMUM AND MADE THE CAMOS FREE IN A GAME YOU ALREADY PAID 70$ FOR WHEN IT SHOULD BE 60$?!?! HOW PASSIONATE! ITS NOT LIKE TITANFALL 2 ALREADY DID THIS AND MUCH MORE IN 2016.
"Zombies is great" 🤣
27:05 "Did you forget when you ordered Graves to kill all those civilians? I guess the writers did"
That's the best part. Every entry in the MW reboot has had a near-total staff turnover in the writing department. Just compare the credits sometimes. It's maddening. The only person who has stayed on board since the beginning has been Brian Bloom, co-writer and actor for the guy you play as in Infinite Warfare (campaign in that was good from everything I've seen and read). I don't know if Activision has a gun to his head, or if he's doing his damnedest to save this nosedive of a campaign which is why he lasted this long, but it's not working out anymore. By comparison the original MW trilogy was written by one guy, Jesse Stern. He had a co-writer, Steve Fukuda. Underneath them they had a team of proofreaders whose jobs were to do clean up and polish. The structure stayed the same on all 3 games.
The reboot is being written by a writing committee of 4-6 people depending on which game. You know what happens when you have 4-6 people with equal power working together on one story? You have 4-6 stories trying to be told at once, _and in this particular case, only ONE guy has been on with the plot since game one._
Edit: 29:12 Can someone PLEASE inform IW/Sledge/Acti that SHADOWS DO NOT SHOW UP ON INFRARED GOD DAMMIT. How are we 3 games in and they are still screwing this up??? The original trilogy managed to be closer to reality than this game has attempted to be. If anything, buildings radiate ambient heat stored from the sun. They should be glowing faintly, not blacked out! FAHK.
Edit 2: 31:52 it still pisses me off that Acti is pushing the soundtrack with Hans Zimmer as the showrunner. I'm getting tired of explaining to people that Hans only did the main theme. Lorne Balfe did literally everything else. The intro sequence and credit sequence? Hanz work. The loading screens, combat music, and multiplayer stings that we all consistently heard throughout the game? That's Lorne's work. Hans is more of a traditionalist. Lorne is more experimental. That's why you hear electric guitars mixed in with middle eastern drums. I mean FFS on the cover of the CD cases sold back in 2009 it says in plain text the main theme was Han's work and Balfe did the rest, but the encoding was screwed up and Hans got credited for EVERYTHING. Hans is fantastic, don't get me wrong on that, but clerical errors - especially when they mis-credit artists and composers- upsets me greatly.
ngl this sounds like exactly the kind of core issue that the New Star Wars Trilogy had too (besides being run by Kathleen Kennedy)
Makarov in MW3: A legitimate threat to society; a villain with genuine goals willing to resort to brutal methods to reach them.
Makarov in MW3 2023: "NYEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEE" *twists mustache* "Behold, foolish Captain Price! MY MISSILES OF DOOOOOOOOOM!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA" *Soap, Gaz, Price, and Ghost then chase him around like it turned into fuckin' Scooby-Doo while the Benny Hill theme plays*
The moment I realized there was no saving MWIII’s campaign was the moment when Price woke up and immediately shrugged off the gas he passed out from. The best word to describe this campaign is *betrayal.*
Great word to describe it
Activision: "Do you guys have the $70?"
Dedicated COD fans: "We got it, sir."
Activision: "Good, that's one less loose end."
*BANG*
@@TheActManI am not enjoying Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 3 any more. Activision should stopped making these games🛑
@@jackmiomore like, "Good, that's more money for us"
*Bang*
“You have to trust someone to be betrayed- I never did.”
Honestly, this isn't a game. It's a litmus test for just how cheap Activision can pump out a CoD. I think it's obvious that they were 100% aware of the controversy this game's quality would bring, but they're banking on the unaware or uncaring casual market being so strong that they didn't care. It's amazing that they've basically given up on goodwill towards their dedicated fans and are making games for people who don't know or care about their history.
Since MW3 is already 30% off on sale, it seems like they realized how bad an idea it is.
Remember when each cod came out and people would complain about reused weapons? Well... I would give anything for cod to be in that era again where that was the worst issue
They love using as much money as possible to advertise and as little as possible to make it. This game had a billion dollar budget, and 75% of it or more was used for advertisements. Let that sink in
Play the multiplayer it’s tremendous. COD is always on sale at Christmas so invalid argument
@@LukeFromNY ill play the new multiplayer when they remove all the mw22 guns
? No one uses them wtf is your issue xD@@Tamago443
Brining back Alex was so insulting cause his death was supposed to be a heartfelt moment with a lot of weight
The irony of AVGN is the dude went to my school many years ago, and use to live only 5 min from where i live now. Dude is a legend here in Jersey
What’s funny is that they actually managed to mess up what was probably the easiest trilogy to remake. They could have done the exact same story with minor changes and everyone would have been happy.
TBH, i expected characters like Al Asad or Zakhaev to appear in new trilogy, they could just give them different origins etc. When i learned that characters are getting killed or came back from the dead in season cutscenes or whatever that bullshit was i understood it is going in wrong direction. And i really liked MW19 story...
This is what I expected and wanted. Never bought them once they made narrative changes. Garbage gaming company.
@@Endru85x Yeah so many important characters dying in cutscenes or off screen (and then coming back eventually lmao), It's honestly atrocious.
nah players would still complain "its the same game" average cod players
@@juehjuThat kind of reasoning is why the bullshit keeps on happening. You feed the narrative, those gaming companies are going to produce garbage if you expect them to produce garbage.
After the recent incident involving the entire COD team getting pissy over a light joke made by Christopher judges at the game awards I've officially lost any and all respect for the team behind these games
All the dude said was their game was short but they act like he broke into their house and lit their living room on fire
Really shows how inflated their egos are
One of them tweeted that "they've heard worse," but it was shocking because the joke came from a peer in the industry.
Like piss off, yeah? A good peer calls you out on your stupid crap and MW3 is a garbage. They can't handle someone who has good rapport with the gaming community calling them out.
This isn’t new lol. SHG devs Made fun of people who legit don’t like the maps.
They said they would stop releasing cod annually and that mw3 is an expansion, and it is. They didnt lie about anything.
What a surprise! A game made for man children is developed by man children ! Wow !
@@VenilIa_they did not say MW3 was an expansion. Wtf are you talking about? It's a full $70 game. They literally said, and sold it as a new full game
Imho Price should've killed Farah in that forest because it was clear back then that he couldn't trust her.
You can't just mess around when people's lives are on the line.
Cold war zombies: we made an open world mode and still intend to make round based maps, to experiment!
Vanguard zombies: we made cold war's side mode into the main game, and only made round based maps after the masses hated the release with no wonder weapons!
MWIII zombies: we proved that we didn't learn anything from vanguard's failure.
I really liked cold war open world..u pause it touch grass and carry onto higher levels..this open world in meh at best.
I love how each "worst call of duty" somehow manages to get one upped. Never thought it was be worse than vanguard
Theres no way this is worse than vanguard. The campaign sure but everything else is way better
I actually enjoy this cod, night and day from mw2. I easily consider mw2 to be the worst cod
This game is amazing
It isn't worse, the campaign might be but the multiplayer is actually decent, anyone saying otherwise is clueless or a bot, in which case MWII is there for you to sit in corners 24/7.
@@JagsP95 yeah agreed MWIII is so much better than MWII and Vanguard LMAO
One thing that bothers me about the campaign is how task force 141 deals with LITERALLY EVERYTHING that happens. They go all around the world with no problem whatsoever. What happened to playing as other factions, like when price in the og mw3 needed delta force to capture volk in France since he was busy in a different part of Europe. Or the SAS trying to find makarovs gas themselves,and many other examples it makes the setting feel really limited.
Even in mw19 we had Alex with the ULF
even in mw2 ww Had Vargas group, Soap and Roach working with specops teams and Vargas, Price and Gaz doing stuff on the other end of the planet doing the more stealthy stuff most of the time. MW3 was supposed to be just a multiplayer expansion. The single player scenes were already filmed but they decided to give us a mess of a campaign. If your not going to put bgm in scene make it a huge firefight. The battlefield around you will create the ambiance. Original Modern Warfare did that with the SAS mission where we had to defend ourselves in the abandoned village and the bgm only kicked in until we got on the Chinook and everyone extracted. Modern Warfare 2019 did it when had to defend ourselves at the US Ambassadors residence. I don't feel sorry for activision. I do feel sorry for the developers who were forced to rush a single player that was so terribly written. Activision you were starting to get good. Then went back to your old ways and screwed the pooch. Congratulations
Feels the same as Game of Thrones traveling where some how armies are moving across the world in matter of minutes. It's just TF-141 moving all around the world without any rest 24/7.
No one fights alone.
So its confirmed, task force 141 are just Avengers of COD universe
8:48 it’s funny you mentioned call of duty being grounded in realism because that was the same thing with the Tom Clancy’s rainbow six franchise before it became call of duty slash Fortnite in the form of siege!
Imagine the kid who cried over Alex's sacrifice only to learn 4 years later it was pointless and he is still alive.
No word of a lie, I felt more emotion seeing 6 seconds of Coco than I did in the entire MW3 campaign. (14:00)
Personally, I felt a lot of emotion in the mw3 campaign.
Mostly disappointment.
Did she die?

"Halo 5 was better than this"
Those are powerful words coming from the man who made several videos about that mess of a campaign.
He not only made a 5 part series about how aweful Halo 5 was... that series *made* his career on RUclips.
I felt physical pain hearing that but he's not wrong.
When you made act man unironically say the sentence "Halo 5 was better"...
That is the sign that you have failed at everything you set out to do.
The only enjoyment I got out of Halo 5 was watching my step-dad play and in that final arena before the ending when he used a jump pad and got sliced in half nuts to throat and that few seconds of silliness was still better then MW3

So something I just remembered while watching this video is during the mission where you save Shepherd, there was no point in setting up Ghost and Farha as snipers. As soon as the mission starts there already way ahead of you in the mission normally when you set up snipers you expect to either play the sniper or have a mission where you have sniper support so there was no point even setting that up and now looking back that really pisses me off. Hell I remember a mission in one of the OG modern warfare's at least I believe it was one of them where you're playing through the mission and halfway through you come across some snipers that were like lost by their battalion or something and through the rest of the mission they give you sniper support I don't understand why they couldn't do that in one of the half emissions where it's actually a linear mission.

Plot Twist:
Cpt. Price: "Soap? I thought Makarov Domed you in the London Mission?"
Soap: "No, you see, that wasn't me in that Mission."
Cpt. Price: "But Soap, we cremated you, spread your ashes to the wind!"
Soap: "No, it wasn't me in that urn"
Soap: I wasn't in the chunnel.

OG MW3: *Have like 12 different photograph of Makarov during briefing cutscene..
(DLC) MW3: "Sorry, Price. We only take this one photo back then. So we will use it every single time".
Also on the warzone side of things, zakhaev didn’t actually die from getting knocked down into the missile pit but we didn’t even get the “I wasn’t in that missile room” because he just comes back in the zombies cutscene and is just…. There. The new rule for cod: nobody is dead and nothing matters anymore and there are no stakes because warzone solves everything.
They killed Soap out of malicious compliance cuz we complained that no one stayed dead. But the worst part of it to me, was the scene where they spread his ashes. Soap's original death scene properly stunned me the first time I played it. Price's horrified cries, knowing him to be the most composed man in the story, that was ACTUAL emotion. They just kinda walked away after saying some mugged up lines. I hated the entire storyline from the bottom of my heart cuz they ruined one of my favorite characters in gaming entirely. Price was literally SENILE in this game. Remember the price who held a warlord a gas mask and then point blank shot him with a desert eagle? This wasn't Price dude.

One thing I liked about the campaign is that farah was actually important to the story and had more of an impact the rest sucked
I completly agree with you
I feel like the people who make these horrible campaigns just ran a script for each of the missions through an AI generator and did whatever the AI threw at them.

Its always funny to see Ghost just standing there in cutscenes, gives this "hi yes I'm the mascot" vibe for some reason
And dear lord that is so f ing idiotic, like let's make the cod ghost non existence? Oh........
officer balls
What made Soaps death in this sad to me was Ghosts reaction and not only that but their duo was so good in MW2 and they tore it apart too soon.
its literally meant to be a MW2 expansion DLC. its campaign clearly shows that too, but activision got a bit money hungry so they were like “you know what, just make it MW3, make it shorter, oh and add soaps death so it can be similar to the original MW3, and add zombies too so people can buy this game, oh and market it like Treyarch (the goats) are the ones making this game even though its us. also just add some new movement to make it feel unique and add an open world mission bc story gamers like open worlds and story gamers are also gonna wanna buy this game”
tbh that was sledgehammer/activision’s strategy
Can’t wait for Soap’s death to be retconned in Modern Warfare 4 like: “I thought you were cremated and had your ashes scattered?” “Well I wasn’t in that urn”
"SOMEHOW PALPATINE RETURNED."
"That was me cousin shampoo, good lad, sad that he 'ad to go"

Isn't the campaign 3 hours tops? More like half to a third. Even more sad tbh

Even that was screwed up cause if you notice, you dont keep your good guns. If you exfil with an orange gun, you go back with a white quality gun. AKA, you have to find a new higher quality gun...every...single...match AND within 45 min.
Crawling through the abandoned ruins of Pripyat in a ghillie suit with a silenced rifle, channeling the specter of death itself to silently cut through such a crazy number of enemies, is a core memory for me.

He didnt buy the dlc
Don't forget about sgt Paul Jackson and lt Vazquez and team metal
They didn't break back kamerov or Yuri. Each one only got one cutscene. Imagine if we played as Yuri for a few missions. We start with working for makerov, actually seeing how sadistic he is, before Yuri decides it's not right. That would have been dope.
Apparently they also wanted to rewrite how soap dies. Or the significance of Yuri being found out at the time of his death.
Not only is it not creative it's actually getting rid of the creativity and respect for soap.

I could see the zombies working as a sort of S.T.A.L.K.E.R./DayZ (oh dear God not vanilla DayZ) based on the guys with guns/merc’s, but because it’s supposed to be Zombies it falls apart. If it wasn’t replacing Zombies but some sort of Retrieve & Exfil, Take & Hold, and or some sort of mode where you have to clear enemy compounds while avoiding zombies/anything else you can think of (similar to Going Dark in 2019), then it would have been pretty interesting and cool to see, maybe even have some cool dystopian story. Overall, huge wasted potential.

@@WhereIsGoD1990🤦♂️
Worth pointing out that sledgehammer also didn't even make the MW2 maps themselves, they were for the cancelled MW2 Remastered Multiplayer. They just slightly facelifted those maps and put them into MW3 so they had something.
hilarious if this is true lmao they put like 0 effort into this game if that's the case
@@TheActMan if that's the case they literally only changed the gunplay and ported guns from mw2019 lmao
I don't think that's true, I remember the rumor was that the maps were made as dlc for MWIi last year, but they decided that was a bit of critical flop and decided to do this.
I do remember hearing that the maps are supposed to be from "MW2 Remastered Multiplayer." But I don't think that's how it works. They typically need to start over from scratch when doing so.
This is mostly information I've gathered from zombies map developers and is the big reason we don't see big 1-1 remaster's more often. That being said, I don't think developing maps for multiplayer is any easier than developing a zombies map.
So the rumor that these are directly from the cancelled MW2 remastered multiplayer, are very unlikely.
@@MisterAnonymous1000 References to them were found by dataminers in MW2 remastered. But on its face, does it make ANY sense that they just decided to remake all these maps for their multiplayer mode and not include any original ones, or even remade maps from MW3? They just copypasted MW2's maps. Even if they were meant to be MWii DLC, why would they remake every map? It's so much effort when realistically it would make more sense for them to focus on a handful of the most popular ones.
Keep in mind, high-rise already existed in the game on Warzone. Quarry already existed. So many of the old maps were cleverly brought back to act as small sections of the warzone map. If they were remaking these maps as DLC for MW2, and decided to scrape together MW3 from this recycled cod/warzone content, why would they dedicate time to remaking those maps when they've already made them and could just cut-off sections of the warzone map to use in multiplayer. They've already been doing this, several maps from MW2 are just parts of the warzone maps segmented.
The only thing that makes sense is that these maps were at least half-built for a cut multiplayer mode in the remastered version. Work probably went into converting the assets into MW's current engine, but the only way the recreation of these maps make ANY sense is that they had to begin life outside of MWii or MWiii.
@@MisterAnonymous1000 If this were true and they were made from the ground up, why? Why remake these maps when you could make new maps in the same time frame? Considering the entire campaign was just re-used warzone maps, it would be very hard to not at least acknowledge the possibility of this. It's more than likely considering the time it took to make the game, and if they were to remaster any maps at all from the past from the ground up, it would make much more logical sense to remaster the MW3 2011 maps since that is what this game is a reboot of. There was also plenty of datamining from the MW2 remastered campaign to support that MW2 was supposed to have a multiplayer with it, but they didn't want it competing with the rebooted MW, considering how the Cod4 remaster out competed infinite warfare.

No, it wouldn't.
Great job on this video, the editing is fucking hilarious, so good lmao had a big laugh watching this video. No round based zombies is a crime, ok i understand the devs idea of mixing different elements and putting them all on warzone map, but at the same time, can also add round based zombies seperately for people who are not looking to run a marathon in a match just to get some objectives done and some zombies kills, it also makes the camos grinding more time consuming than it should be.
“One side only gets the upper hand when the other does something stupider” that’s the most accurate description of this campaign I’ve ever heard
and politics in general lmfao
imagine how cool it would’ve been if instead of a cut scene of the “abort” moment, it puts you in a mission like any other with a normal intro and halfway through the mission you get the message that he escaped and then you have to exfil early
That would’ve been too much effort, they only had enough budget to make only one proper mission

MW2019 really felt like a return to form for Call of Duty, but unfortunately the series has been really inconsistent since then.
@@jdawg8487 and we'll for another decade for cod to be great again XD
@@jdawg8487 while MW19 was the return of COD it was also the death of COD.
I think it's pretty obvious that Alex and Graves were never originally intended to return to the modern warfare storyline. They were going to be in a sort of shrodinger state, so they could have their ending in the main story, but at the same time they'd be revealed to have survived in a Warzone cutscene so they could market them as an operator and sell them.
It's also probably why no player characters flatline during MW 2019 and MW 2 2022.
But they just didn't have any choice but to use Warzone story elements, because they had to asset flip all these scrapped warzone missions and mask them as single player content.
Graves was meant to be returned they literally left audio and lore clues
They literally didn't.
@@That1Historianthey did? When?
@@TheButterAnvil paying attention to the audio in the final mission shows he wasn't in the tank also in DMZ there's some anonymous letters written by graves when he was presumed dead around building 21 (might be other locations too idk)
That does make some sense. Though if I remember correctly, Black Ops 4 had operators of characters that were canonically dead and it was totally fine. I think people understand the difference between multiplayer and the campaign narrative. Maybe Sledgehammer just screwed up and misinterpreted that
The Modern Warfare III campaign is weird. It's like they took Warzone and put it in the story mode on several missions. (open map) For all the people that wanted to avoid Warzone but liked playing the campaign in general...they are basically forced to play single player Warzone...unless they just simply leave the game.
Also, I don't like the way Makarov looks in the game compared to the original MW2 and MW3 games.
Makarov says: "six years" they dub it as "four years".

I think you should read about the story of Vince Zampella and Jason West. Under different company/studio names they created Medal of Honor: Allied assault, before creating Call of Duty 1 & 2. Then they got screwed by activision who gave COD 3 to another studio, so they made Modern Warfare to stay ahead. After creating MW 1 & 2 they got fired by Activision, who was pumping other COD games through treyarch (the Black OPS) and co. MW 3 was made after they got fired and was a c/c of previous MW, that's when it started to feel bland.
Also, since the beginning Zampella and West had the plan to make a "futuristic shooter" with jetpacks and wallruns, but got fired before they could implement it. When they went to Respawn to create Titanfall 1 & 2, Activision who knew what they wanted to create (and knew how good they were) started pumping futuristic CODs that were just "meh" to compete against them and ruind the market in advance.
So all along, all the good good ones are made by these guys (and the rest of the team that followed them everywhere) while every COD that was "meh" was actually just average copy/pasted crap to make money and exploit the franchise that built a good reputation through their games.
And when Activision ran out of ideas (because they just want money and don't care about quality), they rebooted and just printed MW, MW2 and MW3 again.
Now they have nothing left to copy and Kotick left, so I honestly don't know how they'll be able to survive.
Anyway, this whole story is crazy and I really invite you to read about it, since you seem really invested in the franchise.
good 1 bro
As long as people keep buying their games they’ll survive. Stop buying their games if you don’t like them, it’s what I did this year
Honestly though, they could probably save themselves by venturing into vr. Most VR shooters are fairly timid, and technology has advanced to the point where a good spectacle shooter would be amazing. Literally all they would have to do is make a near direct port of COD 4, MW2, MW3, Black ops, or Black ops 2 and that would sell like wildfire.
