13:03 For whatever reason, even the “big battle” classic CoD missions in these new games are still lackluster because they only have like 10 enemies in use at one time and 5 of them probably have armor now as opposed to MW2 Wolverines where you’d be fighting like 40 enemies at once alongside 20 other friendly NPCs
@@ChandranPrema123 They probably would have to lower the level of detail to make all those NPC AI fight each other? They sadly but a lot of focus on visuals over everything else now (to varying degrees of success)
Realtalk: if they make an RPG where you're some Black Ops Operator Operating Operatingly™ secret agent I'd play it. The only one that comes to mind is Alpha Protocol, and that's just not enough.
My biggest complaint is that none of the game screams 1990s to me besides some vague historical references. The entire Gulf War part can be rewritten as NATO invading (insert random Mid East country) in the 2020s to topple generic dictator 73637 (that doesn't even show up in the game) while fighting Black Water knockoffs for some reason
I don’t even think there’s a reference to the Saudis, Syrians, Jordanians, or Emiratis that assisted in the UN-backed campaign. It’s only ever Brits and Americans because they’re too lazy to make new assets.
@@bladfadsfblaadsfsadf900 don't forget the French and Egyptian forces, which are basically the 3rd and 5th largest contributors respectively. COD sometimes has a bad rapport of erasing non-Anglo forces from historical battles (mostly WW2) because they don't bother doing research

I really like the idea of exploring inner turmoil of characters in games but I'm so tired of these dream sequences where things just float aroound in magic space and you solve your mental problems by just killing some random dream enemies. It's like dreams or hallucinations are an just an excuse to make fantasy stuff in games where it doesn't fit. "Here are zombies for you to fight. Why? Because it's a game." "Here you have to collect 3 parts of a mirror. Why? Because it's a game." At least in games that want you to take the story seriously I want better things than you run around in a wierd space world and fight weird enemies for no reason and then the game claims this helped you see the truth or something. Max Payne did better and more believable dreams and that was ages ago.
I agree wholeheartedly. Such a disappointment. I wanted a war game not a war/zombie/sci-fi game. Max Payne’s dream sequences were far superior and really fit with the story. Emergence and separation anxiety were developer laziness.
@@Edmundo75I also wanted a war game from CoD. I know, I must be crazy, expecting war from a series that started with you being on the frontlines of WWII. However, for some reason, CoD devs insist on staying away from actual frontline combat in recent years.
The far cry style dream sequences always remind me of like little big planet levels. It always just feels like assets stuck together haphazardly in the void. The opposite of immersion.
@kursedmilk what does that even mean? CoD is a military war shooter series. When I buy CoD, I would expect to get that. It's like if FIFA suddenly becomes a racing game, and you say: well, if you want a football game, buy an old FIFA
I'm glad we still have some honest journalists who aren't afraid to report on which props are, and aren't destructible in the latest call of duty game.
I love the Call of Duty logic that taking five 5.56 rounds to the chest is in injury you can recover from in under 20 seconds, but getting your hand slashed with a knife, or getting bumped by the edge of a car is instant death.
I mean that's all gaming right? You have to make logic concessions for smoother and more fun gameplay. Also the health mechanic was explained 20 years ago by the developers of cod 2 as essentially almost a luck mechanic. The red around the edges and recharging health is supposed to represent close misses, bullets and explosives whizzing by your head and the fatal damage being you lr luck running out which I think is kinda cool and a good representing of it in real life
This is far from just a CoD thing, and has existed before CoD ever existed. That's a general video game thing and has been for decades. Real life gets "gamefied" to make things more fun and work the way they want things to. Gotta play more games, pal! :P It is funny when it gets over analyzed like that, though.

4:37 This is not Wordle. This is Bulls and Cows, which was made into a computer program called MOO on 1960s computers and into a board game called Mastermind in the 1970s. (Mastermind is the name I learned.) Because of its long history and relative ease of programming, it has been used in tons of video games as a minigame, lock, etc. Traditionally, the board game version used a series of colors, but you can use any sequence of things to play Mastermind, including numbers/digits and letters. Wordle is based on this game, but it added the twist of non-arbitrary letters, which helps narrow down the possible combinations because there would otherwise be 26 possible characters that can fit in each slot (rather than the usual 5-10). It also was notable for only letting you play once per day. There apparently may have been versions that used words before Wordle, too, but I've done enough research for one day and nobody will read this far.

Oboe was right, most COD players have never actually played a good game and the sections of the cod games where they pretend to be another game is literally their only exposure to that kind of game.

After the Saddam map, somehow I accidentally glitched my character to have 2,097,174,632 dollars. Even have two pictures to prove it. I think I just straight up looted his bunker.
I've not read any reviews for this game because I know watching oboeshoes call the game mid for a half hour would be a more accurate review then anything else.
They made a COD campaign that is just homogenized triple A slop garbage trend bullshit on top of cod gameplay. Its honestly impressive how many different modern games and trends they managed to stuff in this, it seems so soulless and joyless
I liked OG MWs, I liked the first 2 black ops, I even liked advanced warfare man, I just wanna see priceless wonders of architecture blow up and topple over, see massive unrealistic scenarios go down in historic locations, I want cheesy plot lines with a hint of depth, I want over the top coincidences and inhumane amounts of plot armour. I wanna bob and weave between pieces of cover, getting strawberry jam across my eyes that infect me with the 'heavy breathing disease' each time i peek over a wall whilst I get handheld by my general or overly charismatic team leader into pulling some of the most make-believe military nonsense ever dreamt of. Sure I like the 2 new black ops games as story games, but they no where near give me that rush of beating a COD campaign, all this extra just feels like flair to fit into modern norms, it certainly has the feeling of proper quality though, given it's the established go-to AAA series, there's no doubt in it playing well. All in all I'm just happy I didn't have to spend 70$ just to beat the campaign once and never touch it again, COD multiplayers have long been unenjoyable and zombies I've not kept up with ever since tranzit so I don't really care much.
Amen to all that! If im not playing as just me and a two dudes taking out a battalion, 7 tanks, 12 helicopters, and blowing up the space station, i dont want it in my cod campaign
@bruschetta7711 I just wish they: 1) Stuck with the vibe of the first half of the campaign as fighting a modern/near future war in a seemingly post apocalyptic US was real cool 2) Didn’t end it on a cliffhanger
I loved the cinematic campaigns. It was to replay 50x or as exciting as multi-player but it was fun. These idiots turned the campaign into warzone/zombies/minigames galore. I. Hate. It!
Or a director cut version of Singularly that shows what Raven Software actually wanted to make out of the game and not what they ended up having to make due to strict time constraints.
Singularity was a bad way to Raven Software stop making games. It's just a generic half-life clone, 2 different mechanics doesn't make the game unique. you brainless consoomers need to stop buying useless remasters.
@channel45853 I convinced myself that other people convinced themselves because most of the praise I've seen ignores every glaring issue the game seems to have, many which have been rightfully criticized in previous games. MW3 was so bad that being just alright seems incredible, but 6.5 - 7/10 is not a 9/10
@@channel45853 Sorry, bud, but you can't just brush everything away with a "uhm, its just an opinion". There are some things that almost always make for an objectively worse experience, like a boring story.
I have no idea people have convinced themselves COD wasn't a slop franchise since the beginning. I've always thought it was one of the reasons who started the decline of gaming as a whole.
That back to the Jack video of yours on ironically got me to go see Weezer for the first time ever last month, they played the entirety of the blue album. It was epic.
Dual tube NVGs that look nothing like they did in the 90s, red dots on pistols with modern adapter plates, I'm sure there is more but I wasn't paying much attention.
It really goes to show the talent and care that goes into a big budget 5000-cubicle team effort like Cod of Doody 6 or 7 or whatever, when you can stand behind a moving minivan and get run over instead of just bumped out of the way like in all those lazy indie games that didn't have five thousand guys to check that the vehicles run you over properly if you wander in front of them at the hideout or whatever. Truly another of the games of all time.
I kinda liked the 1 open world mission for the fact that the more areas you cleared. It gave you better stuff for the final assault and it didnt over stay its welcome. And the only story part i didnt really like was the dropping of case for jane at the end. You start putting everything together to reveal Cases back story and all of a sudden we spend a really long time getting Janes back story and setting her up to flip then the game ends mostly on a cliffhanger
Speaking of "go play Hitman 1 2 and 3, they're better games" I got some massive deja vu in that mission where you're sniping that guy on the yacht. The square with the church in it looked like it was ripped straight out of Sapienza from Hitman 2016 🥴
I enjoyed the campaign except for the dream sequences. It also ended abruptly, no major final battle. Problem with modern movies as well, nobody knows how to write an ending/climax.
It's because it's not the end from what I'm told. They're going to dip feed the rest of the story they already finished in updates that you play in Warzone maps
16:38 I think I'm homestar runner brainrotted enough to know you're referencing the homestar runner goes for the gold here with the bathyscaphe type situation
For a game with 'next gen texture steaming' that forced the campaign to be online all the time, this game looks somehow worse than most other CoD games graphically. This franchise truly died like 10 iterations ago.
No, the texture quality is unmatched. The art direction is realism in design, and in terms of that, it excels. Not everything needs very stylized graphics.
20:57 Funny thing I just realized, when Sev knocked the guard out earlier at 20:15 she was wearing gloves. She made a conscious decision to take her gloves off revealing her nail polish while trying to blend in with a bunch of enemy soldiers.
I share the same opinion, I just feel like there's too much "filler" stuff in this game. I don't mind the occasional change of gameplay but they def relied on it way too much in this one. cinematic shooters have been dwindling lately because the "critics" say it's boring, even though most COD players LOVE the traditional style of campaign if the story is gripping and the gameplay is tight. I just wish COD stopped trying to be other games, because when they actually make traditional levels it's great also yeah beauty of annihilation is goated

My favorite part is when he says "im on duty." and then goes on duty all over those guys
John McDuty answers the Call Of Duty, because Duty Calls.
The "do re mi" in Cyrillic was actually pretty neat.
Fav part of the campaign was the little safe house puzzle and I haven’t resumed since
I agree
I can’t read Russian but I can sound out the words somewhat, so I enjoyed giving that puzzle a shot blind and getting it done
10/10 worth 75 bucks
Oboe pulling out a near perfect Bill Clinton impression wasnt on my bingo card
Is Call Of Duty even US Army propaganda anymore? It was cooler when it was.
Honestly, yeah. This is just boring.
deadass tho
When was it ever us propaganda?
@@train_go_boom2065 I once watched a video on how MW2 Remake is US Propaganda. It had some good points, like how they inaccurately portrayed the Highway of Death
@@train_go_boom2065 Since CoD4. The DoD and DoD funded consultants have financed and worked on every one of these games since 2007. It's the same with movies. Pretty much any movie you see with military equipment means the studio cut a deal with the DoD so that they would be allowed to make any edits or additions to the script they want in return for being allowed to use their stuff.
What if instead of playing the bo6 campaign, we imagine ourself in a frozen forest
Train go boom.
enemies with healthbars in COD... we reached peak slop
We've had health bars in the 2019 mw remake already, it's been slop for a while
@@sn1pertoasterwas there? i honestly cant remember. the only tanky enemies i remember are the russian soldier in the kid farah mission and the final mission with that juggernaut
@@uncleho3137 MW 2019 didn't have any other than what you mentioned. MW2 was that nonsense really took off
@@62squad i played through the mw2 campaign and i don't remember that. enemies had armor by the end of the game but it wasn't a health bar
24:01 Funnily enough, the first instance that I can recall of the "hub attacked by enemy" mission was in Freedom Fighters back in '03, which not only predates ME2, but the attack does have the consequence of having to use a different hub in the last few levels since the attack successfully flushes out the resistance fighters.
It's just an old trope, I'm pretty sure Saints Row 2 also did it twice back in 09.
I love how their selling point for this one is slightly faster lateral movement.
I was beginning to think I was crazy and I was the only one who thought this campaign was dumb.
@walkerwhited felt way too tryhard to be cool when all it ended up feeling was cringe.
Oboe was right, most COD players have never actually played a good game and the sections of the cod games where they pretend to be another game is literally their only exposure to that kind of game.
What? That's literally an unprovable guess at best.

Time for my yearly half hour of COD
I've not read any reviews for this game because I know watching oboeshoes call the game mid for a half hour would be a more accurate review then anything else.
This is the only reliable CoD review out there and it's funny because Oboe's content is so random
They made a COD campaign that is just homogenized triple A slop garbage trend bullshit on top of cod gameplay. Its honestly impressive how many different modern games and trends they managed to stuff in this, it seems so soulless and joyless
If your game is just all of the games ever, everyone will like it, right?!
This looks more convoluted than Bioshock Infinite
funny you should say that, cause one of the writers of Bioshock Infinite was part of the writing team for this game.
Did Call of Duty just imply that Saddam Hussein… Made CoD Zombies? 😭
No, it was the US who made the zombie gas that then was taken by a rogue splinter cell of the US gov trying to blame it on Saddam
Your Doofenschmirtz impression from your MW3 video is more entertaining than the entire BO6 campaign.
Yeah they really changed the classic formula in a way that it almost feels like a realization of pure hate for it. Perfect title.
I liked OG MWs, I liked the first 2 black ops, I even liked advanced warfare man, I just wanna see priceless wonders of architecture blow up and topple over, see massive unrealistic scenarios go down in historic locations, I want cheesy plot lines with a hint of depth, I want over the top coincidences and inhumane amounts of plot armour.
I wanna bob and weave between pieces of cover, getting strawberry jam across my eyes that infect me with the 'heavy breathing disease' each time i peek over a wall whilst I get handheld by my general or overly charismatic team leader into pulling some of the most make-believe military nonsense ever dreamt of.
Sure I like the 2 new black ops games as story games, but they no where near give me that rush of beating a COD campaign, all this extra just feels like flair to fit into modern norms, it certainly has the feeling of proper quality though, given it's the established go-to AAA series, there's no doubt in it playing well.
All in all I'm just happy I didn't have to spend 70$ just to beat the campaign once and never touch it again, COD multiplayers have long been unenjoyable and zombies I've not kept up with ever since tranzit so I don't really care much.
Amen to all that! If im not playing as just me and a two dudes taking out a battalion, 7 tanks, 12 helicopters, and blowing up the space station, i dont want it in my cod campaign
CoD Ghost got so much hate back then but i rather play that than anything after MW2019, Cold War excluded
@@bruschetta7711 real, I will give it a chance some time, there are SO MANY cod campaigns I wanna play but they're ALL still 60$ on steam!
@bruschetta7711 I just wish they:
1) Stuck with the vibe of the first half of the campaign as fighting a modern/near future war in a seemingly post apocalyptic US was real cool
2) Didn’t end it on a cliffhanger
I loved the cinematic campaigns. It was to replay 50x or as exciting as multi-player but it was fun. These idiots turned the campaign into warzone/zombies/minigames galore. I. Hate. It!
The bit where you hallucinate monsters after inhaling too much of Uday's weed was cool I guess
COD is the new far cry. Enemies with health bars, weird drug sequences, unneeded grindy "hub" elements
Man, every time I see the Raven Software logo, I always think of Singularity...
How I wish to see a remake or at least a remaster of that great game.
Or a director cut version of Singularly that shows what Raven Software actually wanted to make out of the game and not what they ended up having to make due to strict time constraints.
Singularity was a bad way to Raven Software stop making games. It's just a generic half-life clone, 2 different mechanics doesn't make the game unique. you brainless consoomers need to stop buying useless remasters.
Gamers buyin remasters and remakes has screwed up the industry almost as much as SBI
Great is a bit of a stretch. 7 out of 10 at best
Always love when a CoD campaign starts with a decent mission and then just steadily goes downhill from there.
Finally, a historical CoD that takes place in the Gulf War

After having watched a full playthrough and then this review, I have no idea how people have convinced themselves this is a 9/10 or even 8/10 game.
They had an opinion that was different than yours. How did you convince yourself that other people were convincing themselves?
@channel45853 I convinced myself that other people convinced themselves because most of the praise I've seen ignores every glaring issue the game seems to have, many which have been rightfully criticized in previous games. MW3 was so bad that being just alright seems incredible, but 6.5 - 7/10 is not a 9/10
@@channel45853 Sorry, bud, but you can't just brush everything away with a "uhm, its just an opinion". There are some things that almost always make for an objectively worse experience, like a boring story.
I have no idea people have convinced themselves COD wasn't a slop franchise since the beginning. I've always thought it was one of the reasons who started the decline of gaming as a whole.
That back to the Jack video of yours on ironically got me to go see Weezer for the first time ever last month, they played the entirety of the blue album. It was epic.
Resistance 3 is for people like Oboeshoes who reviewed Fall of Man and 2. It's just like COD I promise.

Who or what make these “Black Ops 6 is the best game ever” comments. Did Activision start a ChatGPT comments bot farm?
Holographic sights in early 90s, during the Gulf War? What???
Dual tube NVGs that look nothing like they did in the 90s, red dots on pistols with modern adapter plates, I'm sure there is more but I wasn't paying much attention.
You're questioning a game of Black Ops saga, which has first game plotted in '68, but giving us futuristic armament (i.e. AK-74u)
In the original Black Ops there are mostly prototype weapons as the artistic license. But everything else including the reflex sights are realistic.
Pretty sure that has been the issue since the first BO with both sides running kitted out anachronistic weapons with futuristic scope for some reason
1:55 Treyarch made the BO6 multiplayer, it's Raven that did the single player.
It really goes to show the talent and care that goes into a big budget 5000-cubicle team effort like Cod of Doody 6 or 7 or whatever, when you can stand behind a moving minivan and get run over instead of just bumped out of the way like in all those lazy indie games that didn't have five thousand guys to check that the vehicles run you over properly if you wander in front of them at the hideout or whatever.
Truly another of the games of all time.
I kinda liked the 1 open world mission for the fact that the more areas you cleared. It gave you better stuff for the final assault and it didnt over stay its welcome.
And the only story part i didnt really like was the dropping of case for jane at the end. You start putting everything together to reveal Cases back story and all of a sudden we spend a really long time getting Janes back story and setting her up to flip then the game ends mostly on a cliffhanger
New Vegas' Frontier mod had a better story than this
Speaking of "go play Hitman 1 2 and 3, they're better games" I got some massive deja vu in that mission where you're sniping that guy on the yacht. The square with the church in it looked like it was ripped straight out of Sapienza from Hitman 2016 🥴
This campaign was ok, I just hated the amount of stealth missions there were. And the ending was just terrible… Cold Wars was better.
Good upload, saved me 40GB install size
If you don't like the Iraq mission because it reminds you of MW3 that's you're own fault for playing MW3.

Black Ops: The Division 3
20:00 you had an error for this whole mission where the ground was mud colored when it should have been snow
I enjoyed the campaign except for the dream sequences. It also ended abruptly, no major final battle. Problem with modern movies as well, nobody knows how to write an ending/climax.
It's because it's not the end from what I'm told. They're going to dip feed the rest of the story they already finished in updates that you play in Warzone maps

I've come into the Codments to say Beauty of Annihilation is goated but I also have a soft spot for Lullaby of a Dead Man.
For a game with 'next gen texture steaming' that forced the campaign to be online all the time, this game looks somehow worse than most other CoD games graphically. This franchise truly died like 10 iterations ago.
The graphics are fine. The problem is art direction, or lack thereof.
No, the texture quality is unmatched. The art direction is realism in design, and in terms of that, it excels. Not everything needs very stylized graphics.
@@theredrisen9520 No, the graphics are genuinely mediocre for what they claim.

20:57 Funny thing I just realized, when Sev knocked the guard out earlier at 20:15 she was wearing gloves. She made a conscious decision to take her gloves off revealing her nail polish while trying to blend in with a bunch of enemy soldiers.
I share the same opinion, I just feel like there's too much "filler" stuff in this game. I don't mind the occasional change of gameplay but they def relied on it way too much in this one. cinematic shooters have been dwindling lately because the "critics" say it's boring, even though most COD players LOVE the traditional style of campaign if the story is gripping and the gameplay is tight. I just wish COD stopped trying to be other games, because when they actually make traditional levels it's great
also yeah beauty of annihilation is goated
I actually liked Infinite Warfare more than this. Campaign wise...
