At first i enjoyed a little open world freedom, but at the same time, some of the best experiences i've ever had while gaming have been during extremely well designed and crafted experiences. Something new was exciting, but very much forgettable. "All Ghillied Up" wasn't the first stealth mission in a video game, nor was it perfect but we damn sure still talk about it.
@@nbalongboi9738 I would say that's a fair point if it wasn't for the fact that CoD is known for being on a yearly cycle. They do it to themselves. Can't really excuse that.
Honestly, if the next game actually fixes this shitshow of a story, I would wholeheartedly accept that as long as the next parts of the story are significantly improved. I really didn’t want soap to die yet. And definitely not like this.
100%, its basically guaranteed that he'll be in the next game. Laswell will call everyone into a room and bring Soap out and Price will storm out. It's written in the stars.
I wasn't expecting much. Bought mw2 last year, first cod ive purchased since bo2 because I thought maybe this time it will be different. They deserve to go bankrupt and just let the series die instead of dragging it through the mud.
Think about it, it wasn’t even a decade before they literally ran out of ideas and thought rebooting MW was the best way to proceed with the franchise. Now what’s surprising about the franchise’s continued decline again?
@@tarekcat1imagine if they had one of them go past the train and on a solo mission to try to kill Makarov but fails as we see him leave, maybe ghost since he was close to soap or Gaz to build him up and give him an actual reason to be at the funeral
Cuz gamers are either pathetic paypigs who spend every cent on micro transactions or stupid children who spend every cent they get on micro transactions
because they know 1d1ots will gladly cough up their credit card and buy mediocrity. Why spend more money to make something good, when you can use the absolute minimum and fraction of the effort and creativity to make a mediocre game like MW3. Blame the consumers, mainly twitch streamers who get paid to advertise this game and the little kids buying the game.
It is the fault of the people & kids who continue to buy and support these practices… so I mean… what can one do? This is partial proof that not everyone should be allowed to procreate. SMH. If they’re not able to educate & raise their kids decently. They just let them get whatever they want with their credit cards & get influenced heavily & practically raised by RUclips. SMH. & not the good side of RUclips. Or any social medias.
The original MW trilogy was very poetic. Started off with price meeting soap as a recruit, gathers the Bravo 6 and 141,one by one died off and finally soap dies. It ends with a suicide mission and only price (and Nikolai) remains at the end. It's very personal and weighty, I feel like i can watch the original trilogy as a movie trilogy.
@@AimForMyHead81 The original wasn't that cohesive. We went from "lets burn Russia for invading America" to "hurr durr, save the Russian president even though he literally just invaded America days earlier". I laughed on the airplane mission when the Russian president gives the speech about peace which is completely disconnected to MW2 events.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj MW2 is an absolute hackjob full of wildly implausible shit (like Russia teleporting a bajillion soldiers directly to the Eastern USA unopposed just a few years after recovering from a messy civil war), which would be fine but it also takes itself deadly seriously. In its defense I actually like it. It's fun in a B-movie "so bad it's good" kinda way. The remake, though. It's nonsense but it doesn't have the decency to be fun.
@@rdrrr OG MW2 was 0 to 100 real quick from the first mission. Complete a mission successfully as a Ranger? Now go undercover in the Russian underworld as a terrorist. Not saying it's bad but man it's all over the place if you think more than 2 seconds.
14:43 “You win battles by knowing the enemy’s timing, and using a timing which the enemy does not expect” What a perfect quote after getting slammed by a juggernaut that just phased through the truck while you were swapping weapons 💀
This reminds me of the death quotes from Activision and Cauldron's 2008 budget FPS "Secret Service." It had such gems like: "You Could've Survived Anything, Except Death." "Agent Down. This Time, It's You." "The Bullet That Gets You Is The One You Never Hear." "You Took Some Of Them With You. Next time, Take A Few More." "There's The Right Way And The Wrong Way To Defuse A Bomb. Next Time, Try The Right Way."

Theeeeeen Captain Price and Yuri goes on a mission to kill Makarov wearing Juggernaut suits with Yuri dying. New Yuri: literally does nothing except being a informant for Laswell
"I hope I saved you $70" Don't worry, I never intended to buy this game, but you convinced me to not buy it again so techinally I saved $140, thanks Kelski!
I really was hopeful for this tho I was impressed by the 1 reboot, how it's story went to places we hadn't been to in like ten years. Then 2 played it a little more safe and generic with the guiltless, jingoist, and overall unremarkable campaign. But when I found out Makarov would show up in this, who was first introduced in one of the most controversial levels in gaming history, I thought maybe they'd make this game a lot more intense.
Wait until I tell you that Alex and Graves being alive was “explained”…in timed events for Warzone, so if you didn’t obsessively play and keep up with that mode like daddy Activision wants you to, you just aren’t told that. I’m so glad I fell off this franchise after the glory days.
bruh… that is absolutely atrocious reminds me of how Halo had extremely important lore events happen in Halo 4’s spartan ops mode that tied into the next main-line game im just not a fan of tying lore events to multiplayer. just put it in the damn campaign
@@kel_ski At the VERY LEAST, the Spartan Ops moments weren't limited time-exclusive, and if you wanted to suffer, you could play them all offline solo. The Warzone events are 1) online-only, 2) multiplayer-exclusive, and 3) time-gated.
I like how at this part ( 20:36 ) they straight up give Samara a GUN, and she doesn’t try to attack the dude holding her hostage, even if it has no ammo SHE IS A EX-SOLDIER I think she should have atleast some experience in melee combat.
not to mention, the plane's door was already open, so she could've just tried jumping out of the plane to blow up outside, possibly without destroying the plane
Even worse, they throw the phone into the crowd, and when you’re pushed down and looking at the person with the phone, the PHONE explodes. Not your BOMB VEST. The phone. The only reason I played it was because the games are free on Game Pass…
All of the 'open combat missions' were originally made for warzone events, but instead they decided to try and pass them off as campaign missions. They're basically repackaging Warzone content and MW2 DLC and trying to pass them off as MW3, instead of releasing them for what they're worth. Alex was confirmed to be alive in the first Warzone, his fate revealed in a season cutscene with a goofy metal foot. The same thing happened with Graves, who was revealed to be alive in MW2 season 5, where he just says "I wasn't in that Tank." (Funny enough, they also said it happened in South America. The writers of MW don't actually know what continent Mexico is on) I think it's pretty obvious their plan was to have these characters never return to the main story, so they could keep marketing them as warzone characters. But they had to recycle all this warzone content for MW3, they just said "whatever" and stuck them back in the story without reintroducing them. It's not Modern Warfare 3, it's Modern Warzone 3.
@@kel_ski Yes, yes they did. There are entire plotpoints that won't make sense to you, if you are not aware of the corresponding cutscenes/lore in Warzone and DMZ. It is beyond ridiculous. Having a bad story due to writing is one thing. To make WHOLE STORY SEGMENTS depending on the player remembering a cutscene from some random season of a multiplayer many probably stopped playing two years ago is just idiotic. But hey, at least now whe know why there are unscippable cutcenes when booting up warzone, they want us to know about the L0rE
@@kel_skialso just to add a little more confusion Alex did re-appear in mw2 in the spec ops storyline that took place BEFORE mw2 campaign, and subsequently each season random story stuff happened like Valeria just getting out of jail lol
Stuff like this is why I generally oppose the introduction of a battle royale game mode in FPS games. Once they're introduced, the game mode attracts a bunch of players since it's a popular genre (which makes it understandable by publishers push for a battle royale mode in their games) and the game's identity begins to erode as it just becomes a platform to play the battle royale. COD multi is dead, no one cares about it anymore and it clearly isn't the focus. Now even the campaign, which used to be a bright spot in COD for me is being eroded by lazy "open world" levels that area really just warzone maps populated with bots. It's a bummer because I used to really enjoy the multi grind on COD, but now all my friends want to do is play warzone, and when we're not playing warzone we're grinding nothing but TDM on shipment to farm exp.... for warzone. It's a bummer.
These writers are idiots if they expect us to believe Ghost wouldn't have taken one look at Soap's body and gone after every single Russian in that tunnel. He is always shown as this legendary powerful character that everyone should be afraid of, but hardly does anything to warrant that reputation. Wasted potential
- _"Oh noo, Makarov gone behind that door!"_ - "Sir, let's just open the door and chase him?" - _"Nah, we can't do it. Overlord, we have one K.I.A.... One K.I.A. 😔"_
My favorite mission in MW2(new) was the mission after graves betrayal, it was fun and I loved how soap and ghost had witty banter. The fact that ghost wouldn’t be absolutely pissed when he died is fucking stupid
“Late is for a little while, suck is forever.” Activision truly needs to hear this, start making something fun and put your heart into it even if you don’t have one.
sadly they just can't and that's modern game design for you. these companies have basically unlimited money to pump into the making of these games but somehow none of it gets spent on decent writing or decent gameplay.
1) You're assuming that this entire franchise isn't creatively bankrupt. They obviously ran out of ideas after 2013 and have been spinning their wheels in never-ending reboots and retreads. 2) Activision is beholden to their investors, not their consumers. They'll keep pumping out dog shit until their stock price starts to tank. Then they'll start to pump even harder.
So like, Shepard would have died in like 2 minutes of hypothermia from being submerged in frozen water then sitting outside in the snow. *gruff British voice* “sorry but we can’t extract the package” “Why what happened? Did you get ambushed? Did he get shot?” *gruff British voice* “No, he died of being too cold. Ghost forgot the heated blanket”
They'd all be dead, there's so much wrong with this mission that it's honestly hilarious. That underwater explosion would literally kill them instantly - water passes waves extremely efficiently and the shockwave from explosion that close would rupture their organs and veins. You probably heard of "TNT fishing" - same principle. And yes, after being submerged and then taken out to such low temperatures he'd die from hypothermia very quickly, he'd need a thermal blanket and instantly new set of clothes to change, and he'd still be shivering and could barely move for next hour. Like, I understand it wouldn't be good for pacing to show entire rescue operation, but like just show him being taken care of and cut fast forward few hours with him in new clothes and it would be fine; instead he's just taken out of ice-cold water and is instantly 100% dry lmao
@@czwarty7878dude come on. Kids don’t know about shockwaves & how deadly they are. They think grenades are fiery explosions & mortars landing nearby just look cool & aren’t all shrapnel death lands.
Makarov in the OG game led a terror attack on an airport to frame the US, carried out chemical attacks on Europe, and nuked 30,000 Marines. Makarov in the deboot appears out of nowhere, monologues for 10 seconds, and then calls in -Shadow Company- Konni goons for you to deal with while he vanishes like a fart in the wind.
Even Imran Zakhaev and Khaled Al-Assad were better villains in just 2007's "Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare" alone than anything from the entire reboot series combined.

I have a friend that pre-ordered the game He was so disappointed Yet he still plays the game, I asked him why, he said because he already wasted the money, I asked him if he was having fun He said no
Imo MP is better now than mw2 and zombies is pretty good so I'm still willing to play this over mw2 after I also pre-ordered. Vault looks cool tho so that's good I guess
He has fallen victim to the sunk-cost fallacy, poor guy probably eats burnt popcorn as well instead of throwing it away. He probably would be happier putting the game away.
When I beat the campaign in like 5 hours, steam actually granted me a refund. I said “this game is literally warzone with cutscenes it’s a scam” & 15 minutes later I got an email for a refund lmao
@@KrishnaMusicc I am fairly certain someone at Steam MANUALLY reviews every single refund application. And it depends up to the person reviewing your application to accept it or not. I have tried refunding a game (don't remember which one it was) and I had like 3 hours of play time (mostly installing and trying to get it working) and it got denied. I then tried a few days later and it went through. I think I changed the reason for a refund and wrote a better explanation the second time so maybe that helped?
Something in this game that pissed me off.. In the no russian mission, when the woman picks up the phone and the timer runs out, the explosion comes FROM THE PHONE and NOT FROM THE LITERAL BOMB VEST ON THE PLAYER CHARACTER
It was so fucking dumb. How did they managed.. to ruin one of if not the most devastating.. the most impactful, and utterly the most heartbreaking mission in the game.. It was so dumb, even worse is that guess what! YOU CANT KILL THE CIVILIANS WHICH WAS THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE ORIGINAL! “But nooo! We can’t do that! That’s too much! Let’s just make it where all you do is walk around in a plane! Let the game to its thing! Oh and btw buy our new bundle that costs $80!” -Activision Blizzard
@@bread_games8114 As a German i couldn't stop laughing, because that was what we (and i think also Japan) got in the original MWII. Activision couldn't keep the No Russian-mission as it was here and they didn't want to cut it out (would have been a little bit problematic for the story if they did). So players simply weren't allowed to kill any of the civilians. And that's how we got a huge mess. At least if the player doesn't know about the change. Makarov of course knows that the player character is a CIA-agent, but you don't know what he knows. So avoiding civilian casualties would actually mean you blow your cover - which then means CIA-guy would be better off killing Makarov and the others at this point ...
THE DISRESPECT THAT THEY DID ON MY BOY SOAP IS INFURIATING. I thought my boy gonna have a redemption arc on this reboot. And Captain Cost didn't even care, shii he didn't even do anything for the entire campaign. What a shit game
"You mean in six hours he managed to capture missiles and chemical weapons?" At least that would explain why the other characters were so eager to abort their mission and go back. Makarov works dangerously fast it seems. XD
Yeah it makes sense. Price knew how obsessed with timing Makarov is (even if we never get to see how because a huge part of the story happens between the games) so he immediately leaves to prepare for any move by Makarov
@@whitezombie10I wonder what the mission was though I mean it would’ve been cooler if we actually were in the mission when price heard Makarov got freed
Adding onto No Russian; The scene were Samara is getting armed with the explosive device shows the fact that they are currently in the front of the plane. Now, the best thing is that Makarov and his team parachute OFF the plane, FROM THE FRONT. Something that would end in slamming against one of the plane's wings or going straight into the engine. Also, for some reason, Makarov breaks laws of physics and jumps out with air PUSHING HIM FORWARD instead of backwards. It just tells you alot about the state of COD right now.
How is Alex still alive when he was blown up in the building in mw2019, how tf is grave alive when the tank he was in blew up, and how tf is soap alive when we literally watch him get shot in the head, must be that CoD logic
@@tourbean790 A lot of time passed since Dragon Age 2, never thought anyone would bring up this irrelevant franchise ever again in such a context. Kudos.
@@ChadVulpes the context being a lack of time for game developing. As far as I know DA2 lacks a variety of locations. But in terms of story and characters it's great, not as great as dragon age origins. It shows that you can write a good story even in short amount of time but it was rare for CoD to have a decent story with some exceptions like bo1, bo2, bo cold war. But Activision decided to be pussies who can't write anything decent nowadays, and yes, the whole rebooted MW Trilogy had shit story without any grey morality
@@tourbean790 I thought Dragon Age 2 was boring as hell despite having a pretty good premise. The plot of mages vs templars was interesting, but it had only a handful of plot points stretched across the entire game, so you had to wait until the end with almost nothing in between, save for padding. The companion banter was nice, but the characters themselves didn’t do it for me. I didn’t mind simplifying the combat, but they went a bit overboard with that. I thought that Inquisition was boring also, and it left me thinking that Origins is the only good game in the entire series. I kind of dropped off CoD after BO2, but I caught up to the campaigns until Infinite Warfare two years ago. Mostly watch videos like this for entertainment. Anyway, I agree with your assessment. To this day I maintain that BO2 is the best-designed campaign in the franchise - great story, good gameplay choices, unprecedented(for this series) replay value. The fact that no other CoD game has this many mechanics in its campaign is just sad.
The most egregious comparison between the two MW3 campaigns are the death scenes for Soap. In the original, you fight through a whole army carrying him on your back, avoiding helicopters and APCs on foot, only for it to all be in vain as Price goes like “stay with me son” and he drops the plot twist about Yuri. In the new campaign, he just gets shot in the head in a cutscene and Price goes like “one KIA” completely disrespectful in comparison to the original and manages to replicate the same story element without any of the emotions or dramatic emphasis
God, when I first played that I genuinely cried as I Stand Alone started playing. I'd been playing the series in chronological order, and Soap was my favourite character
I feel like thats a problem with the reboot since MW2022. Its overuse of cut scenes for the important moments. a lot of the good stuff is done through a cut scene. You dont get to kill Shepard, you get to watch someone kill Shepard.
@@undercover1790I heard from somewhere that execs decided video games are basically where all the film school grads who aren't good enough for hollywood go.
Another thing I want to point out about the new direction this new trilogy is taking is the Marvel Avengers-esque superhero treatment TF141 is getting. In the old trilogy, you played as one of several military units banding together (y'know, under that whole global military alliance thing that got drawn up in the 40s. NATO, I think it was called? idk) to counter what was literally a global scale war across multiple different fronts against multiple different threats. It took the combined effort of half the world's armies to counter the other half of the world. Meanwhile, TF141 is just doing everything and somehow succeeding with little to no stakes involved. Potential global scale threats that previously led to cataclysmic destruction on a national scale are now being thwarted by the combined efforts of, like, 9 people. Even with MW19, it delved into the perspective of several US and international units to fight against Barkov's rogue unit and Al-Qatala. Now, the power of friendship™ trumps all, and it is so... so very boring.
Daamn, I still remember THAT feel in old Modern Warfare 1 when during the last missions you had TF141 working side-by-side with Marines. DELTA X-RAY WE HAVE A MISSILE LAUNCH, I REPEAT WE HAVE A MISSILE LAUNCH
Captain Price became captain Cost well then the other will be Soap-> Shampoo Ghost->Human Yuri->Yaoi General Shepherd->Gen.Herdsman Roach(not in this serie yet)->Insect
7:25 Being fair to the poor Russian conscript, that is an infrared laser. It’s designed so that you can see it really well while wearing night vision, but it’s invisible to the naked eye. The unit that projects it also probably has an IR illuminator (essentially an invisible flashlight), but the game never lets you use it.
Ya know another thing I just thought? Makarov was just able to able to kidnap a *four-star* United States Army General, hold him for an indeterminate amount of time, and either: A.) Nobody noticed. B.) Nobody cared. C.) They just didn't think it was that important to affect the story.
Well you also have a high ranking government official that has let multiple tragedies occur all under her supervision whilst also being directly responsible for them, and nothing happened to her. You also have multiple military individuals that have broke ROE, killed either directly or indirectly civilians, and disregarded jurisdiction/sovereignty of free states. Can't forget the sister to a known terrorist that assisted them in directly killing American troops, but she gets to walk away scot free with another American who assisted her, and somehow survived 3 stories blowing up and falling on him.
The plane scene also doesn't make sense because if someone has a bomb to their chest and they're screaming "GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY" ain't no way a civilian is going to stand still in front of them and not back up to put a good amount of distance between them and the person with a BOMB tied to their chest
@@kel_skiFunny think is that they added Godzilla g Kong new empire budles (4 of them) and if you buy all of them you will get Kong robotic arm as blueprint and it sucks, if we cound all of bundle it cost 80 dollars.
so the thing I really dislike about modern CoD is that the campaigns no longer have any stakes because they want to sell operator skins. that's the whole reason they brought back Alex from the dead, people wanted to play as him in multiplayer. Expect more of this going forward, I wouldn't be surprised if Soap somehow survived and returns in MW4
If Activision somehow makes Soap survive a bullet to the dome, I’m gonna cry lmao. Or more likely they just don’t care he’s dead and still release skins for Soap
@@bignate6568 they already have some shit like this in the canon. There's operators that are basically "returned from the dead" using some system they call Lazarus, because that's obviously super creative and not ripped off from anything -.-
The worst part of the No Russian mission is that you aren't playing a member of Makarov's group who willingly went along with massacring civilians, nor is there any sort of sudden turn in tone when the player realizes whats happening. Instead, you play as a random person forced to wear a bomb in a long, drawn-out scene before not touching a single other person and fumbling the detonator. It doesn't even make sense in-game why it's like this- all those people are 100% dead, who cares if you force a random person to desperately try and diffuse 50 pounds of c-4 strapped to their chest? Is it just to show off Makarov's sadism? Because he isn't one - the original No Russian was Makarov being ruthless to do a setup. That's WHY the mission is called "No Russian." It's not Makarov waking up one morning, going "I wanna set up a budget saw trap" and then somehow expecting it to work. It's so silly and stupid and god is modern COD so trash.
@@brezzendorf Whose recieving it? Because no one on the plane would've lived to tell what happened, or are we assuming a bunch of people recorded her and then sent said videos before everything exploded?

You can even see the cellphone footage in the video as you see Samara from another angle. Except No Russian is about blaming yanks/CIA for attacking Russian civilians. Shepard sold out Joseph Allen to Makarov, as the future evidence of US involvement, and the attack happened right before security check, making it plausible. It was thought out to work with the story of the episode - Makarov and Shepard work together to pit US against Russia. I have no clue what MW2 remake Makarov's goal is...

Those death quotes are close to the same writing level as the death quotes from Activision and Cauldron's 2008 budget FPS "Secret Service." Definitely not on par with the death quotes from the original Modern Warfare trilogy.
It’s a depressing reflection of our modern world sliding down the drain when everyone is deciding all media should be “rebooted” and they proceed to make it absolutely miserable. Man just send the gamma burst on us already.
“Modern world sliding down the drain” is quite a negative way of thinking about it. All these remakes suck, sure (well, there are exceptions; the Resident Evil remakes, for one, have been good to excellent so far, and in terms of movies, the new Dune movie is a marked improvement over the old one, to give but a few examples), but that’s hardly a reason to whine about an apparent decline of modern society, as if literally everything was better in the past.
@@jordinagel1184exactly. there are talented game makers out there still, but greedy companies are the ones making games suck. they constantly push for unreasonable deadlines and dont listen to what the fans want.
So makarov might be on the spectrum, a possible real estate agent on the side, Shepard might be his therapist, and a terrorist who was allowed on a plane. What else is there?
Man. I've been seeing some of the IGN "documentaries" on the old CoD missions like All ghillied up and No russian, and the thought process behind them. These guys were making new animations, messing with the AI, putting months of work into a single mission just to make something great and memorable. If you, as a writer, are afraid to kill off a character, whether good or bad you are doing something wrong.
Like there is a writter behind this, this games are generally made with the most basic idea for a story and a about a month cook some cut scenes to make the story make a lick of sense after they finished the game
You can thank Infinity Ward for that, the original crew I mean, the one that worked under Activision up to the original Modern Warfare 2, same people who later made Titanfall.
lots of writers are scared to kill of characters in anything these days, movies, video games, TV shows, because those characters become popular and they want to use that to manipulate you for the next time they show up, why kill off a character when you can shove them in the next game and use that as trailer bait.
Killing off a character (especially if it's a good character) is like breaking a complex LEGO figure that you've invested a lot of time and passion into. Of course you're gonna be afraid of killing them. Your statement at the end makes no sense.

The only explanation we get for them being alive is Graves wasn't in the tank, and Alex didn't escape unharmed (bro left his leg in the factory). They never explain HOW they actually got out, and the writers assume everyone played through all the seasons of MW2019 and MW2022 along with its 3-man raids. If you only played the campaigns and none of the raids, this makes zero sense whatsoever. They should've had a flashback to Alex escaping the factory, and revealed Graves only when the rest of 141 finds out he's alive.
@@Deathmare235 The issue I see is yes most tanks have an escape hatch so Graves surviving is somewhat believable, but Alex on the basement floor underneath2+ stories having the entire building collapse as seen in the cutscene walk out with only a leg wound.
How every character refused to die: Alex: Well I wasn't in there when it blew up. Graves: No, I wasn't in that tank. Soap (when he eventually comes back in yet another Warzone Season:) Well actually my brain WASN'T in my skull!
The OG MW3 was the only war game that i really felt i was testifying a World War of catastrofic proportions. Buildings colapsing, cities crumbling, thousands of people dying, planes falling, tanks, helicopters roaming inside cities. It truly felt like the world was falling apart. I remember playing " Hunter Killer " and submerging for the first time and seeing NY falling apart. Seeing the Eiffel Tower fall in " Iron Lady " was a moment that i can't forget. IMO MW3 2011 had the most epic and saddest Campaign of all CODs. Price acomplishes his mission but he ends up alone.
I stopped playing after Modern Warfare 2... I Abandoned the entire franchise. After seeing how this went down, I think I should go back and finally finish the story I avoided for well over ten years.
@@thewizard1 Indeed. By far the most pessimistic COD campaign ever. WAW portrays WW2 as pure horror and death. No heroic sacrifices, no honor, just death and misery.
@@matheusblancosoares7610It also gives you differing outcomes in the journal depending on how you act in the game at certain points. If you brutally execute every german prisoner you come across the russian guy who gets flamed near the end (i don't remember his name sorry) views you as a monster and wonders why the hell some view you as a hero. It's no bo2 levels of choice depth or spec ops the lines self reflection but its still nice knowing that you're actions do have some kind of consequences instead of just freely commiting casual gamer acts and actually making you think about them for a second.
@@houseoftoussaint9609I did the same - after MW2, my older brother convinced me to get battlefield 3 and I was hooked to that for a while. I should go buy the original mw3
I dont understand open combat missions. Where is everyone? Why am I alone? Why is there an endless supply of enemies attacking me from every angle? Was I supposed to be stealthy? Is stealth even an option considering the enemies always know exactly where I am?
Captain Price: tortures a man and then shoots him when he is of no use anymore, promises a gas mask for information, gives the gas mask then shoots the guy anyway, detonates a literal nuke to knock out the Russian air forces and some American air forces,threatens to kill a man’s family for info then let’s you decide whether or not he lives, captain cost: doesn’t kill makarov, doesn’t torture anymore doesn’t kill shepherd
*Captain Cost:* _Can't open a bag of chips._ *Captain Price:* _Sends a literal nuke to US, white house's atmosphere from Moscow by stealing a submarine, right after leaving a prison he was getting tortured for 5 years._
33:13 This part genuinely made me lose braincells when I first saw it. It's like a worse "onion" quote. Apparently it was supposed to make Ghost some sort of badass but instead comes across as completely nonsensical, lol. Activision believes giving everyone tac vests and deep loud voices automatically makes them "cool", moments like these absolutely destroy that illusion. Shit looks like a cosplay party sometimes.
@@Jules279Don’t worry, once they’re done tearing the MW series to shreds, they are coming for the rest of the black ops series, and when they re-make Raul Menendez, he’ll probably be a baby faced, no brains, twink.
I’m surprised people don’t talk more about how Shepard survived being fully submerged in below 0 water and walks across a tundra still soaked and no jacket. All that and he didn’t even sniffle. He would have died at the bottom of the lake or the top if lucky.
Soaps original death was bloody heart wrenching and the VA for Price did an amazing job with eliciting that desperation and realization in his voice. What we got in MWIII ..was essentialllllly, a 'Oh he ded? kay cool!'
I feel like "Makarov is out" Is the gaming equivalent of... "Somehow palpetine returned" Like damn its a reboot the least you can do is build up to Makarov returning. First Mw2, like the first mw2, not the remake. We saw him and were like fuck this guy automatically, badass, but fuck this guy.
What I never liked about CoDMW titles is how the main villain, Makarov, is treated with such reverence and dread with how people talk about him. Yet what I never understood is how nobody could seem to kill him, despite multiple scenarios where it would have been so easy. He is a mortal man like you and I. He feels pain, he bleeds, he dies. The player character can tank bullets shot by mooks all damn day but when it's a bullet from Makarov it puts him down, for some reason.
Also despite managing to steal both missiles and chemical weapons in six hours, all he managed to actually accomplish is instant transmissioining next to soap and killing him.
No no, Shepherd did have a choice, the choice was to either die now or live in this shitty new timeline. Shepherd chose to die because nobody wants to stay in this shit. But Price hates him so much he lets him live until the end of the game so he has to suffer through the story
The relationship and banter between Ghost and Soap was such a great thing added to the series and they basically all but did nothing with them at the end here. Fucked up
You need some level of cognitive dissonance to be invested in modern storytelling. They have yet to one-up that one time in one of the Star Wars sequel trilogy movies where an enemy's dagger disappears between shots when it would have easily stabbed/killed Rey in that moment.
How did Shepard, an old fucking man, beat the shit put of Price in the original series? The original had its problems, but it felt like an escalating global conflict, the reboot just felt so small in comparison, instead of fighting WW3, youre fighting fucking Cartels and terrorist attacks. The original had nukes and an all out Russian invasion of Europe.
The friendly AI are actually scripted to die in the final mission. Which also make Price's final line saying "One KIA" in the mission even more stupid.Two segments with the bomb happen. The first one makes Price tell Soap the Logo on the bomb with triggers enemies attacking and killing the SFO's and Soap getting hit leaving Price to fend them off before heading back into the bomb. And then the bull crap shock value moment happens. Once again the magic 3 number as Soap gets shot a total of 3 times and then dies.
One plot hole that I don't see anyone bringing up: WHY IS MAKAROV EVEN IN THE SUBWAY? The dirty bomb is like a minute away from detonating. He would have been killed too if it wasn't disabled.
So fun fact; one of my friends was working for a security firm and one of the things he had to do was sneak a fake bomb through security to see if he could. This dude was able to just walk though security no problem with what I believe he said was "a very obvious looking bomb" and he would have been able to board had it not been part of his job to go talk to security after. So if that's anything to go by, they probably just walked on.
Homeland security/ATF regularly do “tests” to see if they can get a fake bomb/gun through security at American airports. They have a consistent 95% “success” rate. It’s always been known that the TSA provides nothing but an illusion of security.
A good villain isn’t cunning because he has another evil plan of his original fails, they’re cunning because they have contingencies to ensure they succeed if something goes wrong. Giving Makarov another plan for us to stop every time we beat him does make him look smart, it makes him look incompetent.
@@PedroLucas-ix8tx | I can certainly believe it. The writing very much feels like something that was passed between 6 different people, none of whom were particularly passionate about it. Likewise the AI feels like what they had time to bang together before the deadline, since complex stuff takes a lot time to de-bug. As for AI being used it writing, I 100% agree it has no place in creative writing. No place in video games, though? As a creative writer FOR video games you'd think I'd be against it, and I AM when it comes to any form of scripted storytelling, but there's a VAST untapped potential in procedural/emergent storytelling utilizing AI. Basically, it COULD be used in procedural-system-heavy games like Dwarf Fortress to create AI-improvised scenarios, where NPCs actually react to the procedural situations they encounter, and random events unfold in ways that are overall more narratively appealing.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth im saying more as a joke as how inconsistent and dumb the story is that reminds of that vídeos of " X game/comic/film but written by AI", and in general to mock how much poorly the history was made. And about what you said, i am a bit against because of the repercussion of people loosing their job, but i do agree it could be very usefull in "RNG" based games, where everythings is random, like, a detective simulator, wich every case is made by AI to make the game not repetitive, but in cases like cod IA should be only to the NPC, and not to the storymaking
Makarovs elite squad and their excellent mission planning. Phase 1: Enter place Phase 2: Do thing Phase 3: Leave place My god, with this kind of high-level strategy on display, it's not wonder he can cause world war 3.
@@cooluxmscool2395 but still. if you have people that never played Warzone or saw the seasonal content, they're left completely in the dark and like many, completely baffled on how Alex/Graves resurrected from the dead like they were Jesus himself. Whether the games are good or not doesn't matter here. The decision to put story into something that the story shouldnt even touch is fucking stupid. and in this case, leads to dumb af retcons too
@@cooluxmscool2395 tbf the Graves not being in the tank wasn't that weird cause you never see him after he runs away like a coward. Still doesn't justify the shit they pulled tho.
In regards to the No Russian mission at 18:13, I always assumed the security guard was in on it. The way he looks at Makarov and how Makarov adjusts his cufflink. That seemed like a preagreed sign to let the man through even though he was obviously suspicious.
Someone else pointed out that Russian Ben Shapiro should be infamous, so unless he has a lot of people in on it, how is no one else in that airport calling in that they just saw him in an airport
@@mutantmaster1yeah, that’s what I’m saying, it’s basically like the TSA letting through Osama bin Laden. They have lists and pictures of EVERY known terrorist in the world, unless he has an entire shift of TSA agents on his payroll, there’s absolutely no reason he should be able to get anywhere without facial recognition picking him up. They have cameras everywhere, with automatic facial recognition, all of those guards should be briefed on the current world’s most wanted list which Makarov is certainly on. At least the original no Russian made sense of bypassing the basic security to get into the airport but nothing past that, because even then they knew there was no way makarov would be able to get guns, bulletproof vests, and a goddamn BOMB VEST, onto a plane, let alone in the even more modern setting of the reboot. This entire campaign was halfbaked nostalgia bait.
It's absolutely insane seeing the difference in quality between the new and old modern warfares. Every time there was a clip from the old trilogy I was like, "Damn, that looks cool as fuck." but MW3 never has anything cool or interesting. The whole fucking campaign is just a collage of disappointment. Take every single scene in this game and I guarantee you the OG modern warfares 2 and 3 did it at least 3 times better.
Alex was brought back in a MW2019 season and Graves was brought back in a MW2022 season. So unless you played during those seasons there is no way of knowing this. To be fair Graves’ death was always up in the air so I expected he’d be an operator at some point but I don’t know if they ever explained how Alex survived. I doubt they gave it much thought anyways when they just wanted to sell skins.
I was so disappointed what happened to soap, my dad had passed away like a month prior to me playing the game and my dad always thought OG soap was cool (purely bc my dads Scottish lol) so it kinda stung a bit watching him go out like that I actually didn’t know you disarm the bomb after because I legit quit the game 💀
Shepherd in the OG MW2 wasn’t working with Makarov. He wanted revenge for the Khalid Al-Asad nuke in Iraq and he decided to invoke a full scale war to kill Makarov (along with as many other people as possible) and attempted to “dispatch”TF141 because he knew they would go against him in his revenge efforts.
He was. He knew No Russian but he didn't acted towards it and helped Makarov about Allen. That's how Makarov knew Allen's real identity. Shepherd killed Ghost & Roach because his name was in DSM as well.
I remember a couple years back there was a big thing about Activision having a horrible workplace environment with rampant sexual harassment and misbehavior from the employees, I think I can see exactly why that was happening and what it lead to
For the gun on the plane, I think it's meant to be 3d printed so it wouldn't set off metal detectors but that would still never work. You at the very least need metal bullets and a firing pin, not to mention that 3d printed plastic is just going to explode in your hands if you try to fire it.
the actors and cutscenes are too good for what the game is, its like taking a super rare sports car for a grocery trip I wish it was just an improved remake because id love to see their performances with the original story
Fun Fact about the No Russian mission: It was TEASED at the END of MWII. It was like a post-credits cutscene or something. You see how they snuck the gun onto the plane, and you see the texts leading up to "No Russian" before a cut to black.
MWIII cutscene is supposed to tell you that basically everyone on charge of security/service on the plane was in on it. The checkpoint guard, the pilots, even the flight attendants. Which would explain how they got all those materials on the plane. The 141 crew even mentions it when they review the airport footage with Nikolai mentioning how no one even seemed to realize who Makarov was and Gaz adding like it was too easy. It is just absolutley horrible story telling because the game expects you to know this because you just need to take their word for it.
@colekleijnen2060 even then it's still so fucking dumb. Every- no no no. Hear me. You ready? *EVERY* *ONE* WAS INVOLVED IN THIS. Every guard on airport, so nobody called police (which absolute bullshit given the fact, that Makarov is WORLD WIDE KNOWN TERRORIST and every-fucking-body, even kid, will know his face. It's like in 2001 don't recognise Ben Laden in cafe, like he is not a big shot), most of flight attendant and even pilot. First of all. Why the fuck in trailer that guy with phone needed to make pistol by himself from very foundation, if everyone is rigged and he could just borrow FULL gun on plane? Second of all. Trying to make everyone dance on your tune is a book-worth planning efford. It's 15 people minimum, that will or not agree to do you genius (just mentioning) TERRORIST -act- plan. NOT mentioning, that even if they will say yes to them directly, there will be still chance, that they will tip authorities. NOT NOT mentioning, that Makarov somehow needed to convince everyone in several days, because of different shifts and flights (or know when and where people, that he needed, will be (which is even more confusing plan, that requires even more people, that even more raises possibility to get snitched)). NOT NOT NOT mentioning, that whole plan (TIME IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!), was about getting UFA ex-soldier framed by force ( *NOT* mentioning that she will be looking as threatening as posible on video and not mentioning, that she will not try to resist when Makarov not needs it and tries to do so when it will make her more threatening), about civilians, who will make video, WHILE BEEN HELD HOSTAGE (not sure what people doing, when they held hostage (never experienced it, and i thanking god for that), but i sure, that most of instructions saying, that man should be unnoticeble and not resort to deviant behaviour while be in this situation), getting plane explode and HOPING that evidence will remain after that. It could be done so much easier. Just blow up plane and dox out the list of UFA soliders to public (if mass media know her face, then this is necessary), so everyone could make connection to that woman. Hundred times less efford for hundred times better plan.

At first i enjoyed a little open world freedom, but at the same time, some of the best experiences i've ever had while gaming have been during extremely well designed and crafted experiences. Something new was exciting, but very much forgettable. "All Ghillied Up" wasn't the first stealth mission in a video game, nor was it perfect but we damn sure still talk about it.
They had under a year to make this and vanguard bro id say they did good
@@nbalongboi9738 I would say that's a fair point if it wasn't for the fact that CoD is known for being on a yearly cycle. They do it to themselves. Can't really excuse that.

"Soap's ashes wasn't in the urn" is how I expect the next game to go

"My brain was never in that skull"
Honestly, if the next game actually fixes this shitshow of a story, I would wholeheartedly accept that as long as the next parts of the story are significantly improved. I really didn’t want soap to die yet. And definitely not like this.
“I won in the gulag, price”

The original MW trilogy was very poetic. Started off with price meeting soap as a recruit, gathers the Bravo 6 and 141,one by one died off and finally soap dies. It ends with a suicide mission and only price (and Nikolai) remains at the end. It's very personal and weighty, I feel like i can watch the original trilogy as a movie trilogy.

All of the 'open combat missions' were originally made for warzone events, but instead they decided to try and pass them off as campaign missions. They're basically repackaging Warzone content and MW2 DLC and trying to pass them off as MW3, instead of releasing them for what they're worth.
Alex was confirmed to be alive in the first Warzone, his fate revealed in a season cutscene with a goofy metal foot. The same thing happened with Graves, who was revealed to be alive in MW2 season 5, where he just says "I wasn't in that Tank." (Funny enough, they also said it happened in South America. The writers of MW don't actually know what continent Mexico is on)
I think it's pretty obvious their plan was to have these characters never return to the main story, so they could keep marketing them as warzone characters. But they had to recycle all this warzone content for MW3, they just said "whatever" and stuck them back in the story without reintroducing them. It's not Modern Warfare 3, it's Modern Warzone 3.
They revealed vital plot in MULTIPLAYER SEASONS??? Lmfaoooo

@@kel_skialso just to add a little more confusion Alex did re-appear in mw2 in the spec ops storyline that took place BEFORE mw2 campaign, and subsequently each season random story stuff happened like Valeria just getting out of jail lol
Stuff like this is why I generally oppose the introduction of a battle royale game mode in FPS games. Once they're introduced, the game mode attracts a bunch of players since it's a popular genre (which makes it understandable by publishers push for a battle royale mode in their games) and the game's identity begins to erode as it just becomes a platform to play the battle royale.
COD multi is dead, no one cares about it anymore and it clearly isn't the focus. Now even the campaign, which used to be a bright spot in COD for me is being eroded by lazy "open world" levels that area really just warzone maps populated with bots.
It's a bummer because I used to really enjoy the multi grind on COD, but now all my friends want to do is play warzone, and when we're not playing warzone we're grinding nothing but TDM on shipment to farm exp.... for warzone. It's a bummer.
These writers are idiots if they expect us to believe Ghost wouldn't have taken one look at Soap's body and gone after every single Russian in that tunnel. He is always shown as this legendary powerful character that everyone should be afraid of, but hardly does anything to warrant that reputation. Wasted potential

“Late is for a little while, suck is forever.” Activision truly needs to hear this, start making something fun and put your heart into it even if you don’t have one.
sadly they just can't and that's modern game design for you. these companies have basically unlimited money to pump into the making of these games but somehow none of it gets spent on decent writing or decent gameplay.
@@tloyp2584 "use OUR money to make something YOU like? fuck no! give us YOUR money instead!"
1) You're assuming that this entire franchise isn't creatively bankrupt. They obviously ran out of ideas after 2013 and have been spinning their wheels in never-ending reboots and retreads.
2) Activision is beholden to their investors, not their consumers. They'll keep pumping out dog shit until their stock price starts to tank. Then they'll start to pump even harder.

But what about muh updates 😢
So like, Shepard would have died in like 2 minutes of hypothermia from being submerged in frozen water then sitting outside in the snow.
*gruff British voice* “sorry but we can’t extract the package”
“Why what happened? Did you get ambushed? Did he get shot?”
*gruff British voice* “No, he died of being too cold. Ghost forgot the heated blanket”
They'd all be dead, there's so much wrong with this mission that it's honestly hilarious. That underwater explosion would literally kill them instantly - water passes waves extremely efficiently and the shockwave from explosion that close would rupture their organs and veins. You probably heard of "TNT fishing" - same principle.
And yes, after being submerged and then taken out to such low temperatures he'd die from hypothermia very quickly, he'd need a thermal blanket and instantly new set of clothes to change, and he'd still be shivering and could barely move for next hour. Like, I understand it wouldn't be good for pacing to show entire rescue operation, but like just show him being taken care of and cut fast forward few hours with him in new clothes and it would be fine; instead he's just taken out of ice-cold water and is instantly 100% dry lmao

Warzone ruined the whole MW reboot story
Makarov in the OG game led a terror attack on an airport to frame the US, carried out chemical attacks on Europe, and nuked 30,000 Marines.
Makarov in the deboot appears out of nowhere, monologues for 10 seconds, and then calls in -Shadow Company- Konni goons for you to deal with while he vanishes like a fart in the wind.
Even Imran Zakhaev and Khaled Al-Assad were better villains in just 2007's "Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare" alone than anything from the entire reboot series combined.

@@bread_games8114 As a German i couldn't stop laughing, because that was what we (and i think also Japan) got in the original MWII.
Activision couldn't keep the No Russian-mission as it was here and they didn't want to cut it out (would have been a little bit problematic for the story if they did). So players simply weren't allowed to kill any of the civilians.
And that's how we got a huge mess. At least if the player doesn't know about the change.
Makarov of course knows that the player character is a CIA-agent, but you don't know what he knows. So avoiding civilian casualties would actually mean you blow your cover - which then means CIA-guy would be better off killing Makarov and the others at this point ...

@@whitezombie10I wonder what the mission was though I mean it would’ve been cooler if we actually were in the mission when price heard Makarov got freed
Adding onto No Russian;
The scene were Samara is getting armed with the explosive device shows the fact that they are currently in the front of the plane. Now, the best thing is that Makarov and his team parachute OFF the plane, FROM THE FRONT. Something that would end in slamming against one of the plane's wings or going straight into the engine.
Also, for some reason, Makarov breaks laws of physics and jumps out with air PUSHING HIM FORWARD instead of backwards.
It just tells you alot about the state of COD right now.
If you managed to jump straight down would you miss the wing? Or would you just get sucked into the engine?

@@tourbean790 A lot of time passed since Dragon Age 2, never thought anyone would bring up this irrelevant franchise ever again in such a context. Kudos.
@@ChadVulpes the context being a lack of time for game developing. As far as I know DA2 lacks a variety of locations. But in terms of story and characters it's great, not as great as dragon age origins. It shows that you can write a good story even in short amount of time but it was rare for CoD to have a decent story with some exceptions like bo1, bo2, bo cold war. But Activision decided to be pussies who can't write anything decent nowadays, and yes, the whole rebooted MW Trilogy had shit story without any grey morality
@@tourbean790 I thought Dragon Age 2 was boring as hell despite having a pretty good premise. The plot of mages vs templars was interesting, but it had only a handful of plot points stretched across the entire game, so you had to wait until the end with almost nothing in between, save for padding. The companion banter was nice, but the characters themselves didn’t do it for me. I didn’t mind simplifying the combat, but they went a bit overboard with that.
I thought that Inquisition was boring also, and it left me thinking that Origins is the only good game in the entire series.
I kind of dropped off CoD after BO2, but I caught up to the campaigns until Infinite Warfare two years ago. Mostly watch videos like this for entertainment. Anyway, I agree with your assessment. To this day I maintain that BO2 is the best-designed campaign in the franchise - great story, good gameplay choices, unprecedented(for this series) replay value. The fact that no other CoD game has this many mechanics in its campaign is just sad.
The most egregious comparison between the two MW3 campaigns are the death scenes for Soap. In the original, you fight through a whole army carrying him on your back, avoiding helicopters and APCs on foot, only for it to all be in vain as Price goes like “stay with me son” and he drops the plot twist about Yuri. In the new campaign, he just gets shot in the head in a cutscene and Price goes like “one KIA” completely disrespectful in comparison to the original and manages to replicate the same story element without any of the emotions or dramatic emphasis
God, when I first played that I genuinely cried as I Stand Alone started playing. I'd been playing the series in chronological order, and Soap was my favourite character
I feel like thats a problem with the reboot since MW2022. Its overuse of cut scenes for the important moments. a lot of the good stuff is done through a cut scene. You dont get to kill Shepard, you get to watch someone kill Shepard.
Yeah, they ruined one of MW best scenes...

@@undercover1790I heard from somewhere that execs decided video games are basically where all the film school grads who aren't good enough for hollywood go.
Another thing I want to point out about the new direction this new trilogy is taking is the Marvel Avengers-esque superhero treatment TF141 is getting. In the old trilogy, you played as one of several military units banding together (y'know, under that whole global military alliance thing that got drawn up in the 40s. NATO, I think it was called? idk) to counter what was literally a global scale war across multiple different fronts against multiple different threats. It took the combined effort of half the world's armies to counter the other half of the world. Meanwhile, TF141 is just doing everything and somehow succeeding with little to no stakes involved. Potential global scale threats that previously led to cataclysmic destruction on a national scale are now being thwarted by the combined efforts of, like, 9 people. Even with MW19, it delved into the perspective of several US and international units to fight against Barkov's rogue unit and Al-Qatala. Now, the power of friendship™ trumps all, and it is so... so very boring.
Daamn, I still remember THAT feel in old Modern Warfare 1 when during the last missions you had TF141 working side-by-side with Marines.

B.) Nobody cared.
C.) They just didn't think it was that important to affect the story.
Well you also have a high ranking government official that has let multiple tragedies occur all under her supervision whilst also being directly responsible for them, and nothing happened to her. You also have multiple military individuals that have broke ROE, killed either directly or indirectly civilians, and disregarded jurisdiction/sovereignty of free states. Can't forget the sister to a known terrorist that assisted them in directly killing American troops, but she gets to walk away scot free with another American who assisted her, and somehow survived 3 stories blowing up and falling on him.

141 defeats Thanos to use the infinity stones to bring Soap back. Honestly wouldn’t shock me.

@@bignate6568 they already have some shit like this in the canon. There's operators that are basically "returned from the dead" using some system they call Lazarus, because that's obviously super creative and not ripped off from anything -.-
The worst part of the No Russian mission is that you aren't playing a member of Makarov's group who willingly went along with massacring civilians, nor is there any sort of sudden turn in tone when the player realizes whats happening.
Instead, you play as a random person forced to wear a bomb in a long, drawn-out scene before not touching a single other person and fumbling the detonator. It doesn't even make sense in-game why it's like this- all those people are 100% dead, who cares if you force a random person to desperately try and diffuse 50 pounds of c-4 strapped to their chest? Is it just to show off Makarov's sadism? Because he isn't one - the original No Russian was Makarov being ruthless to do a setup. That's WHY the mission is called "No Russian." It's not Makarov waking up one morning, going "I wanna set up a budget saw trap" and then somehow expecting it to work.

Except No Russian is about blaming yanks/CIA for attacking Russian civilians.

Those death quotes are close to the same writing level as the death quotes from Activision and Cauldron's 2008 budget FPS "Secret Service." Definitely not on par with the death quotes from the original Modern Warfare trilogy.

Fuck that, I don’t wanna die because of these idiots.
They could put all that money and effort into making a new idea or a new IP or something, but nope. So many remakes/reboots nowadays.
“Modern world sliding down the drain” is quite a negative way of thinking about it. All these remakes suck, sure (well, there are exceptions; the Resident Evil remakes, for one, have been good to excellent so far, and in terms of movies, the new Dune movie is a marked improvement over the old one, to give but a few examples), but that’s hardly a reason to whine about an apparent decline of modern society, as if literally everything was better in the past.

If you, as a writer, are afraid to kill off a character, whether good or bad you are doing something wrong.
Like there is a writter behind this, this games are generally made with the most basic idea for a story and a about a month cook some cut scenes to make the story make a lick of sense after they finished the game
You can thank Infinity Ward for that, the original crew I mean, the one that worked under Activision up to the original Modern Warfare 2, same people who later made Titanfall.
lots of writers are scared to kill of characters in anything these days, movies, video games, TV shows, because those characters become popular and they want to use that to manipulate you for the next time they show up, why kill off a character when you can shove them in the next game and use that as trailer bait.

They should've had a flashback to Alex escaping the factory, and revealed Graves only when the rest of 141 finds out he's alive.
They didn’t even explain how Alex survived, how did he only lose a leg in the explosion, I would’ve found him being unharmed more believable
@@Deathmare235 The issue I see is yes most tanks have an escape hatch so Graves surviving is somewhat believable, but Alex on the basement floor underneath2+ stories having the entire building collapse as seen in the cutscene walk out with only a leg wound.
@@ThebaconmurdererI heard Greaves was never in the tank at the first place.
So warzone is canon????? That means nicki minaj'a fat purple ass is also canon damn
How every character refused to die:
Alex: Well I wasn't in there when it blew up.
Graves: No, I wasn't in that tank.

Alex lost a leg tho
The OG MW3 was the only war game that i really felt i was testifying a World War of catastrofic proportions.
Buildings colapsing, cities crumbling, thousands of people dying, planes falling, tanks, helicopters roaming inside cities.
It truly felt like the world was falling apart.
I remember playing " Hunter Killer " and submerging for the first time and seeing NY falling apart.
Seeing the Eiffel Tower fall in " Iron Lady " was a moment that i can't forget.
IMO MW3 2011 had the most epic and saddest Campaign of all CODs.
Price acomplishes his mission but he ends up alone.
I stopped playing after Modern Warfare 2... I Abandoned the entire franchise.
After seeing how this went down, I think I should go back and finally finish the story I avoided for well over ten years.
Cod world at war has the most disturbing cod campaign by miles.
@@thewizard1 Indeed.
By far the most pessimistic COD campaign ever.
WAW portrays WW2 as pure horror and death. No heroic sacrifices, no honor, just death and misery.
@@matheusblancosoares7610It also gives you differing outcomes in the journal depending on how you act in the game at certain points.
If you brutally execute every german prisoner you come across the russian guy who gets flamed near the end (i don't remember his name sorry) views you as a monster and wonders why the hell some view you as a hero.
It's no bo2 levels of choice depth or spec ops the lines self reflection but its still nice knowing that you're actions do have some kind of consequences instead of just freely commiting casual gamer acts and actually making you think about them for a second.

I’m surprised people don’t talk more about how Shepard survived being fully submerged in below 0 water and walks across a tundra still soaked and no jacket. All that and he didn’t even sniffle. He would have died at the bottom of the lake or the top if lucky.
Soaps original death was bloody heart wrenching and the VA for Price did an amazing job with eliciting that desperation and realization in his voice.
What we got in MWIII ..was essentialllllly, a 'Oh he ded? kay cool!'
Yeah, I remember it clearly. Freaking VA got me good. That was some awesome emotion, and we were actually invested in the characters.
Billy Murray gave his all.
@@GingerZombie29 I mean, Neil Ellice does a good job on Soap but if KEEGAN (Brian Bloom) GAVE HIM SOME MORE PERSONALITY we wouldn't be here right now
When Price lost Soap he had a full mental break down before grieving and being forced to retreat.
Here he just goes “oh no!…anyway”
especially,
SOAP TRUSTED YOU, I THOUGHT I COULD TOO
I feel like
"Makarov is out"
Is the gaming equivalent of...
"Somehow palpetine returned"
Like damn its a reboot the least you can do is build up to Makarov returning. First Mw2, like the first mw2, not the remake. We saw him and were like fuck this guy automatically, badass, but fuck this guy.
What I never liked about CoDMW titles is how the main villain, Makarov, is treated with such reverence and dread with how people talk about him. Yet what I never understood is how nobody could seem to kill him, despite multiple scenarios where it would have been so easy. He is a mortal man like you and I. He feels pain, he bleeds, he dies. The player character can tank bullets shot by mooks all damn day but when it's a bullet from Makarov it puts him down, for some reason.
special anti main character rounds
Also despite managing to steal both missiles and chemical weapons in six hours, all he managed to actually accomplish is instant transmissioining next to soap and killing him.
I mean CIA struggled to kill Castro for like 50 years...

Call of Duty's slogan use to be "No one fights alone", so MWIII made sure to have most of the game just be you fighting alone
No no, Shepherd did have a choice, the choice was to either die now or live in this shitty new timeline.
Shepherd chose to die because nobody wants to stay in this shit. But Price hates him so much he lets him live until the end of the game so he has to suffer through the story
The relationship and banter between Ghost and Soap was such a great thing added to the series and they basically all but did nothing with them at the end here. Fucked up
37:13 How Makarov got enough strength to break Soap's arm after taking a knife in the same shoulder still beats me, wtf?
Because... modern gaming
You need some level of cognitive dissonance to be invested in modern storytelling.
They have yet to one-up that one time in one of the Star Wars sequel trilogy movies where an enemy's dagger disappears between shots when it would have easily stabbed/killed Rey in that moment.
Its that cod villain strength they pull out at the end of their games
@@kewlkat2712for real
How did Shepard, an old fucking man, beat the shit put of Price in the original series?
The original had its problems, but it felt like an escalating global conflict, the reboot just felt so small in comparison, instead of fighting WW3, youre fighting fucking Cartels and terrorist attacks. The original had nukes and an all out Russian invasion of Europe.
The friendly AI are actually scripted to die in the final mission. Which also make Price's final line saying "One KIA" in the mission even more stupid.Two segments with the bomb happen. The first one makes Price tell Soap the Logo on the bomb with triggers enemies attacking and killing the SFO's and Soap getting hit leaving Price to fend them off before heading back into the bomb. And then the bull crap shock value moment happens. Once again the magic 3 number as Soap gets shot a total of 3 times and then dies.
One plot hole that I don't see anyone bringing up: WHY IS MAKAROV EVEN IN THE SUBWAY? The dirty bomb is like a minute away from detonating. He would have been killed too if it wasn't disabled.
So fun fact; one of my friends was working for a security firm and one of the things he had to do was sneak a fake bomb through security to see if he could. This dude was able to just walk though security no problem with what I believe he said was "a very obvious looking bomb" and he would have been able to board had it not been part of his job to go talk to security after. So if that's anything to go by, they probably just walked on.
Sounds like a possibility, but I believe one of 141 said that the staff was in on it, after they recognized Makarov
Given that i just walked out of a store with a tablet, yeah. Security is a lie
@@dodojesus4529What store was it?Like Walmart or
@@vukberbakov344 german store, "mediamarkt"
Homeland security/ATF regularly do “tests” to see if they can get a fake bomb/gun through security at American airports. They have a consistent 95% “success” rate. It’s always been known that the TSA provides nothing but an illusion of security.
A good villain isn’t cunning because he has another evil plan of his original fails, they’re cunning because they have contingencies to ensure they succeed if something goes wrong.
Giving Makarov another plan for us to stop every time we beat him does make him look smart, it makes him look incompetent.
It's "all get you next time, Batman!" levels of villany.
AI and writing are always two of the hardest things to handle in game development, hence why they're always the first to go in situations like this.
And this is why Ai and writing shouldnt be merged together, because i refuse to belive this was done by 6 human beings
@@PedroLucas-ix8tx | I can certainly believe it. The writing very much feels like something that was passed between 6 different people, none of whom were particularly passionate about it. Likewise the AI feels like what they had time to bang together before the deadline, since complex stuff takes a lot time to de-bug.
As for AI being used it writing, I 100% agree it has no place in creative writing. No place in video games, though? As a creative writer FOR video games you'd think I'd be against it, and I AM when it comes to any form of scripted storytelling, but there's a VAST untapped potential in procedural/emergent storytelling utilizing AI.
Basically, it COULD be used in procedural-system-heavy games like Dwarf Fortress to create AI-improvised scenarios, where NPCs actually react to the procedural situations they encounter, and random events unfold in ways that are overall more narratively appealing.
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth im saying more as a joke as how inconsistent and dumb the story is that reminds of that vídeos of " X game/comic/film but written by AI", and in general to mock how much poorly the history was made.
And about what you said, i am a bit against because of the repercussion of people loosing their job, but i do agree it could be very usefull in "RNG" based games, where everythings is random, like, a detective simulator, wich every case is made by AI to make the game not repetitive, but in cases like cod IA should be only to the NPC, and not to the storymaking
@@PedroLucas-ix8tx | Agreed! The whole point of storytelling is to tell human stories. Cutting out the humanity makes the whole thing kinda pointless.
I can understand Graves being alive but Alex being alive is abominable

Phase 1: Enter place
Phase 2: Do thing
Phase 3: Leave place

The return of Alex and Graves confusing campaign players is the proof why continuing the story in multiplayer is complete ass.

In regards to the No Russian mission at 18:13, I always assumed the security guard was in on it. The way he looks at Makarov and how Makarov adjusts his cufflink. That seemed like a preagreed sign to let the man through even though he was obviously suspicious.
Someone else pointed out that Russian Ben Shapiro should be infamous, so unless he has a lot of people in on it, how is no one else in that airport calling in that they just saw him in an airport
@@mutantmaster1yeah, that’s what I’m saying, it’s basically like the TSA letting through Osama bin Laden. They have lists and pictures of EVERY known terrorist in the world, unless he has an entire shift of TSA agents on his payroll, there’s absolutely no reason he should be able to get anywhere without facial recognition picking him up. They have cameras everywhere, with automatic facial recognition, all of those guards should be briefed on the current world’s most wanted list which Makarov is certainly on. At least the original no Russian made sense of bypassing the basic security to get into the airport but nothing past that, because even then they knew there was no way makarov would be able to get guns, bulletproof vests, and a goddamn BOMB VEST, onto a plane, let alone in the even more modern setting of the reboot. This entire campaign was halfbaked nostalgia bait.
@@mutantmaster1 yeah the idea that he wouldn’t be on a no-fly list is crazy
@@apesonwheels696realistically, he would probably be near kill-on-sight level wanted. But nooo we don't kill the bad guys anymore
It's absolutely insane seeing the difference in quality between the new and old modern warfares. Every time there was a clip from the old trilogy I was like, "Damn, that looks cool as fuck." but MW3 never has anything cool or interesting. The whole fucking campaign is just a collage of disappointment. Take every single scene in this game and I guarantee you the OG modern warfares 2 and 3 did it at least 3 times better.
Alex was brought back in a MW2019 season and Graves was brought back in a MW2022 season. So unless you played during those seasons there is no way of knowing this. To be fair Graves’ death was always up in the air so I expected he’d be an operator at some point but I don’t know if they ever explained how Alex survived. I doubt they gave it much thought anyways when they just wanted to sell skins.
Won't be surprised if Soap too is reincarnated from his ashes somehow.

Shepherd in the OG MW2 wasn’t working with Makarov. He wanted revenge for the Khalid Al-Asad nuke in Iraq and he decided to invoke a full scale war to kill Makarov (along with as many other people as possible) and attempted to “dispatch”TF141 because he knew they would go against him in his revenge efforts.
He was. He knew No Russian but he didn't acted towards it and helped Makarov about Allen. That's how Makarov knew Allen's real identity. Shepherd killed Ghost & Roach because his name was in DSM as well.
He actually managed to dispatch all of tf141 too with exception of price and soap. In OG 141 had many more members

For the gun on the plane, I think it's meant to be 3d printed so it wouldn't set off metal detectors but that would still never work. You at the very least need metal bullets and a firing pin, not to mention that 3d printed plastic is just going to explode in your hands if you try to fire it.
Theres only a few parts of a glock thats plastic. That 3d printed glock would light up on a metal detector same as a stock glock would.

I liked the part where Cpt. Price collapses of cringe in his own video game.
Fun Fact about the No Russian mission: It was TEASED at the END of MWII. It was like a post-credits cutscene or something. You see how they snuck the gun onto the plane, and you see the texts leading up to "No Russian" before a cut to black.
MWIII cutscene is supposed to tell you that basically everyone on charge of security/service on the plane was in on it. The checkpoint guard, the pilots, even the flight attendants. Which would explain how they got all those materials on the plane. The 141 crew even mentions it when they review the airport footage with Nikolai mentioning how no one even seemed to realize who Makarov was and Gaz adding like it was too easy. It is just absolutley horrible story telling because the game expects you to know this because you just need to take their word for it.

It's like in 2001 don't recognise Ben Laden in cafe, like he is not a big shot), most of flight attendant and even pilot.
First of all. Why the fuck in trailer that guy with phone needed to make pistol by himself from very foundation, if everyone is rigged and he could just borrow FULL gun on plane?
Second of all. Trying to make everyone dance on your tune is a book-worth planning efford. It's 15 people minimum, that will or not agree to do you genius (just mentioning) TERRORIST -act- plan. NOT mentioning, that even if they will say yes to them directly, there will be still chance, that they will tip authorities. NOT NOT mentioning, that Makarov somehow needed to convince everyone in several days, because of different shifts and flights (or know when and where people, that he needed, will be (which is even more confusing plan, that requires even more people, that even more raises possibility to get snitched)). NOT NOT NOT mentioning, that whole plan (TIME IS EVERYTHING!!!!!!), was about getting UFA ex-soldier framed by force ( *NOT* mentioning that she will be looking as threatening as posible on video and not mentioning, that she will not try to resist when Makarov not needs it and tries to do so when it will make her more threatening), about civilians, who will make video, WHILE BEEN HELD HOSTAGE (not sure what people doing, when they held hostage (never experienced it, and i thanking god for that), but i sure, that most of instructions saying, that man should be unnoticeble and not resort to deviant behaviour while be in this situation), getting plane explode and HOPING that evidence will remain after that. It could be done so much easier. Just blow up plane and dox out the list of UFA soliders to public (if mass media know her face, then this is necessary), so everyone could make connection to that woman. Hundred times less efford for hundred times better plan.
