Here's Everything GREAT about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Trilogy! This is a compilation of my previous 3 reviews of the games and I thought it would be fun to have them all under one roof. Plus, Activision can go kick rocks for releasing MWIII 2023 charging full price for it, and treating it as an entire COD campaign with no original ideas. So instead of spending $70 on it and giving hollow false praise, we're gonna remember the glory days of COD together.

I wasn’t thinking when throwing in Sledgehammers name with the issues plaguing MWIII. It’s all completely Activision and we need to be aware of the greed and that exploitation that this publisher is doing to their developers.
Here’s a great article detailing the crunch surrounding MWIII by father Jason Schreier: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-09/cod-modern-warfare-3-faces-bad-reviews-after-rushed-development?accessToken=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJzb3VyY2UiOiJTdWJzY3JpYmVyR2lmdGVkQXJ0aWNsZSIsImlhdCI6MTY5OTU2NzE0NiwiZXhwIjoxNzAwMTcxOTQ2LCJhcnRpY2xlSWQiOiJTM1ZNREJEV0xVNjgwMSIsImJjb25uZWN0SWQiOiJCMUVBQkI5NjQ2QUM0REZFQTJBRkI4MjI1MzgyQTJFQSJ9.o8ivreNZS0FxiM_Dv9FCJWLoOMGS5W3gpwj7eS1Cavw

Honestly…. Like I said in a separate comment, the multiplayer and Zombies justify the purchase for me. There were a lot of positive changes implemented that made it worth it for me. Even if you’re right about the campaign.
BTW yes, I realize that my purchase makes them think we’re okay with what they did to the campaign. And yes, I do hate myself for it.
Thank you for the material backing sledgehammer, hard to see the guys behind the original mw3 be brought down to such a level by Activision
Preach
Soap earned his name due to cleaning house with remarkable speed and accuracy in room clearance techniques and urban warfare tactics.
I always assumed in the second game it more transitioned into him being slippery and escaping death multiple times
Makarov and Shepherd paid the ultimate price.
I never likes that they added in the reason behind his name in the new MW2 I always kinda liked not knowing why he was called soap
@Archer63270 now they did that for the cinematics but I think the draw to it is your interpretation, you escape death easily, your clean and precise in what you do, or whatever anyone can come up with, at least when we first met Soap and the gang
Sure buddy, sure
As a firm believer, the original story was the best by far growing up playing it. Man's spit straight facts in the first minute
i was a black ops kid but it went shit after bo3, cw wasnt that bad, and even then i kept mw as 2nd fav story
"Man's spit straight facts"
....Your comment gave me cancer. Learn how to speak properly or don't speak at all. Stop speaking as if you're some 'hard man' gang member. You're not.
@@DarkLord46626personally in terms of story I’ve gotta go for MW2(2009) or Modern Warfare 19. MW2 feels like a cheesy 80s action movie in video game form and MW19 feels like a gritty modern war movie like American Sniper or Black Hawk Down. Really just depends on what mood I’m in
@@DarkLord46626campaign was all downhill starting with bo3 imo
@@DarkLord46626 CW is the worst of the Black Ops games. It makes BO4 seem like it has a good campaign
I love MacMillan immediately asking Price what he needs to help him find Makarov. He knows that Price is on everyone's watchlist and risks his own career just talking to him, but hurt his boy and he will give him whatever he needs for payback
MacMillan coming back was fire
Basically Soap got his nickname from being so good at clearing rooms. Because he's so quick at "cleaning out" buildings he got nicknamed that, and I also believe he did canonically get the best time on the MW1 test.
He scrubbed the deck clean
Soap definetly got the best time, CinemaWins himself... Not so much.
That was Gaz
@@kennyhennessey7532that’s in the reboot
Gaz had the record for the test in CoD4, but ig Soap beat it
Soap and the chest knife. Never before or since have i felt so immersed and connected to the game. Seeing Price lose the fight and wanting to help him. I thought "If only i had a weapon". As the camera slowly panned to the knife in my chest, it clicked. Full immersion in perfect syncronisity with soap. "I do have one". Pulling out that knife and using it to win the day, to save Price and avenge my team... No moment in a game has ever felt that good.
That scene had me feeling a type of way. An enraged, invigorated, hyped way 🔥
i heard a theory that the reason Soap was bleeding so much in his death scene in MW3 is because the MW2 knife wound re-opened when he fell
@thegrimer I think that got confirned, yeah
Couldn't have said it better myself
@thegrimer not a theory, his wound opened up when he fell out of the building
when soap died in mw3 i felt price's pain and i actually cried. it hurts losing someone you care about even for those in the armed forces.
As someone who grew up playing these games, I gotta say that they all have a special place in my heart.
One of my favorite moments of MW3 especially is when Price calls Makarov after it's announced that the war was over. When Makarov picks up, he asks who's calling and Price says "Prisoner 627". That whole interaction leading to the card were they finally show "Taskforce 141" without the "Disavowed" was phenomenal. 👌
And the bit where for the first, last and only time in the entire series, the most serious and personal mission of them all, you see that name just appear in the coolest way ever under all of it
"Price"
"Haven't you heard, Price? They say the war's over."
"My war ends with you."
Off the point on how everyones codenames reflects them some how.
Ghost can’t die
Roach is hard to kill
Soap is slippery
I like to thing after the end of MW3 and it’s just Price alone. He paid the highest “price” loosing everyone he cares about.
Price dies as well, off the screen
The hammer down protocol is a real protocol, if an area is deemed unobtainable, and the enemy force is overwhelming, to deny them the land, the location is quite literally flattened with MOABs, firebombs, etc, anything non nuclear
“BROKEN ARROW!”
Broken Arrow iirc is used to refer to nuclear accidents that don't lead to nuclear war. For example, the Chernobyl and Fukushima disasters.
From google: "Broken Arrow is a code phrase that refers to an accidental event that involves nuclear weapons, warheads or components that does not create a risk of nuclear war. These include: Accidental or unexplained nuclear explosion. Non-nuclear detonation or burning of a nuclear weapon."@@hazmatt3250
It wouldn't surprise me if in 5-10 years we get another reboot except its just DMZ with an opening and closing cutscene.
"Switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading." Some of the very first Videogame advice I've never forgotten
The fact that MW3 still has not been remastered hurts me, it's my first and favorite COD game with ease, It's definitely nostalgia bias because if it wasn't my first I know my favorites would be a struggle between BO2 and Cod 4, but, I don't really care, I don't care if it's mediocre and it was just a heavily updated version of MW2, it's still an amazing game that left an impact me, I didn't know a lot about cod besides the Zombies and the shooting, but when I played I cared so much about the characters as if I played the first 2 games, Soap's death always hit me, a hero that didn't manage to get out in the end, gone, but not forgotten.
MW3 cemented itself as one of the most important things of my life, especially since it reminds me of my Dad, and as much as I learned he wasn't really a great dad nowadays, especially since he's not with me anymore, admittedly leaving me and my family to go back to his own family, forgetting us, probably starting a new family he loves probably more than me, I can't deny he gave me one of the best experiences of my life, my first game, one of if not my favorite games of all time, a Cod game that is always regarded to be mediocre, but I hold too dear to my heart to say it is.
You can probably laugh at how sad it is that a son's only treasured love from his father was a game, my life isn't really too eventful in terms of excitement, most of the time it was kind of rough especially with my anger issues and ADHD growing up, gaming being one of the few things making me feel happy, and with how my life is now, I'm happy gaming has affected it, it helped me learn, get smarter with strategies, especially with a kid like me who was too angry half the time to learn at school, I didn't grow up to be some brute who didn't have a father figure, I became a person with quite a bit of flaws but didn't let the loss of 1 parental figure hinder my development.
Sorry for rambling, I tend to do that, but it just helps show how much the game made my life better and not put me down a rabbit hole that will probably make me a bad person in the future.
I still read it no need for apologies
Yea they did us dirty
We gonna wait, sledghammer or raven was working on mw 3 (2023) and they wated check if there arw glitches or add something l, but Activision or Infinity war said : no no you work, we tell.
My thinking it will come out in 2024
When I was 12, my parents were rlly strict on not playing R rated games, but I had an older brother who played COD, one night, I snuck outa my bed at 11 at night, found the copy of MW2 we had, and proceeded to play through the entire campaign in one night, finishing at like 4 in the morning, having just experianced my first, and the best COD game of all time at 12 with zero spoilers
Modern Warfare 2019 was so good and a good breathe of fresh air for the series. It’s sad to see they didn’t follow through with it
IW did a very strategic move with II's marketing , they wanted us to think it was just like 2019 but way better. Then the game was spat out , and it sucked , and then III came out and was even worse. Honestly can not wait for IV , which will probably be as bad as III or even worse.
Ah the good old days, from when COD was actually well liked all around! How the mighty have fallen since!
its because all the talent left in 2009 to go make respawn, thats why there was never a good cod again after that.
I dunno man even then people hated the current Cod and said the old one was better. The cod cycle never changed
that's because the "old guard" either died out or were replaced with new, braindead nine year old's who are willing to buy... whatever the fuck activision has on its premium market.
so yeah.... 2 things that never changes, war and corporate greed apparently...
Modern warfare 3 if i recall was panned for being too much like MW2. Which I personally didnt mind.
Black Ops 2 was the last great COD game. Just my own opinion.
TBH COD reboot could have been something huge. 2019 COD set the groundwork for so much more, yet they disappointed us. I was even fine with 2022 MW2 it was okay, but they just stooped to a new low with 2023 MW3
Thank you for sticking to your principles and not making a video on "MWIII." This trilogy was incredible, and to have its name sullied like Activision has done is a disgrace to what is one of my favorite stories in any game series.
Something cool to point out during the “Soap Trusted you!” Scene. Price pulls out a Desert Eagle, a gun used multiple times throughout the Modern Warfare Trilogy to off important people or start sending sh!t fanwards.
The Middle Eastern President at the top of MW1, Zakyev doing the same to Gaz and Riggs at the end of it.
Many lesser people meet their end from its .50 AE fury in MW2
And of course, Makarov using it at the end of MW3.
It is used time and time again by the bad guys to do bad things. And in that moment, Price is borderline Makarov. He just lost his best friend after what he thought was a slam dunk mission goes tits up. The other person he thought he could trust is now suspect number one as to why Soap is gone. Price loved his 1911, a visual representation of the “old guard” type of military man he is. Part of that idealism died with Soap, and he left the 1911 behind not just as a grave stone for his friend, but a symbol that Price as we knew him died on that table as well.
Also, for as fat and destructive as .45 ACP is, .50 AE is bigger and hits harder. And that’s what Yuri finds himself starring down the barrel of. Not just a bigger gun than the 1911, but the much more angry and unhinged John Price.
3:10 John "soap" MacTavish's codename soap is that he "cleans" houses so quickly he got the nickname for being fast
Right off the rip this man deserves a win himself. Do me a solid and insert the Win Counter Ding if you read this
What I want most now is a mw3 remaster,i can only imagine those incredible scenes from the 2011 game in 4k
I think the best part of MW3, was that the “Mind the Gap” mission, you play with Sgt’s Wallcroft and Griffin, showing that after the events of CoD4, they were told by Price to “stay in the chopper and cover our six!”, they chose to stay on with SAS instead of joining TF141 (if they were given the offer of course..)
My favorite moment in each game:
MW1: All Ghillied up, best part is the atmosphere, you really felt like a trained sniper. And Mac’s voice is badass, let’s be honest.
MW2: The EMP over the battle of DC. Honestly, the whole battle was amazingly well done. If you listen closely on the comms, you really feel the direness of the situation, they said there were civilians arming themselves against the Russians. Best missions ever.
MW3: Battle of Paris. I might be alone with this one, but it is my favorite mission. You start by making your way through the destroyed buildings surrounded by the gas and the dead civilians caught in the zone. It was very haunting and depressing. You really felt the weight of the damage Makarov caused.
I was actually excited to play mw3 but my friend got the campaign early and legit woke me at 3am to show how bad it was. This man is def my best friend
Same here lmfao
Don't call it mw3, call it MW2023. Modern Warfare 3 (2011) is the true MW3.
@@vincentveryvile5051 how about...
MW20233
I remember after this mission at 34:51 I actually had dreams where I would be playing as Roach alongside Price and Soap against a hoard of Russian Soldiers just never ending, with dogs that would not die after getting shot. The dreams were so visceral that I remember constantly waking up covered in sweat and needing to wash my clothes and sheets (I was like 8 when I played this upon release). It was either this mission or the one from the original Modern Warfare that gave me that feeling. I just remember seeing Price and Soap getting torn to shreds, their names disappearing after they died and I would look at the bodies of their character models, getting even more scared that the usual blurred screen with “Soap” or “Price has been Killed In Action” not showing up to make me restart from the previous checkpoint
In MW2 we are all thinking that price is dead because of the ending of CoD4 with the soldier trying chest compressions but getting desperate. We didnt ask where he was because we thought we were the only one to survive on the bridge.
To answer your question at 3:07, Soap got his name from how good he is at "cleaning house". According to his bio in newer games, “he can clear rooms with “remarkable speed and accuracy”
nah new games are garbage dumpster fires apparently so that's not a viable answer
0:21 Hey so there was an article released (keep in mind my source of info is from a COD youtuber M3rkMus1c) that MWIII 2023 is all Activision’s fault JUST like COD vanguard Sledgehammer had to rush this game with only 16 months to develop the game with constant restraints and restrictions… working overtime and crunch just to get the game in an OK state… all of which is Activision’s doing. Sledgehammer games were supposed to work on a sort of sequel to COD Advanced Warfare (code named Project Anvil)… and to top off EVERYTHING Sledgehammer is listening to community feed back and are actively working on improving the game for all of us… Lets cut the Devs that put their blood, sweat, and tears to put together this game.. blame those in higher power.. #ScrewActivision
With the MW cycle established at 2-3 years, I knew something was up when they did MW in back-to-back years. This is an excellent example of why writers/game developers need time to make stuff, cause if they're rushed by publishers then stuff like MWIII happens. It could have been so much more had it followed in the vein of MW2019 but was rushed and ruined
Any time I hear Keith David I always think Sgt. Foley is giving me new orders 😂
12:12 you can actually able to stand and walk after you crawl out from helicopter.
32:48 fun detail. Before THIS moment his id was like "cpt McTavish". After that - "Soap"
I think it's truly amazing and says so much that mwII already had 11 wins before pressing a single button and 17 by the end of the first cutscene.
1. MW II is the way to mention Reboot version, not OG or Remastered one
2. MW3 actually beaten a record of having 12 wins before pressing a single button
I agree with skipping mw3(23) but I feel like the heat in the intro should have been fully on ActiBlizzard and not towards Sledgehammer. Sledgehammer was fully ready to make a expansion side story focused on Los Alamas but Activision were the ones to not only make mw3 a full 70 dollar game but also force the story team to follow up the no Russian and Makarov plot threads. Activision treatment of sledgehammer has been beyond shitty and I really don’t think these devs need more heat for a project they didn’t want to make but were also crunched to hell and back for
I hate killing dogs in any COD game. That's why I love Ghosts so much it lets you fight with the dog, instead of against.
To be fair, you can do this in One Shot One Kill in the original MW1 and (presumably) the remaster. If you allow the dogs to keep eating in the swimming pool, they’ll be alerted by the Russian gunshots in the following fight and charge in to take down the pests for you, helping buy time during the firefight.
@@nathan_thorn6906 that is true, thanks for reminding me. To bad they die and you can't take them back with you. Imagine getting back to base and they have a bunch of stray dogs with them. That would be hilarious 😂.
3:14 I read somewhere that Soap got his name because he cleaned up bad guys real well. Take that with a grain of salt because I cannot remember where I read that.
You actually missed one. The music that plays in MW3 after we kill Makarov is a callback to the original Modern Warfare. A nice little callback to tell you that yeah, it really is over.
The fact that this video is roughly 1/2 the length of mw2023s campaign is really a testament to how far we’ve fallen….
I’m so happy you uploaded this I was trying to watch all the videos you made on the og trilogy but now I don’t have too thanks
Another win to add to this list. The very first mission starts with Capt. Price smoking a cigar. And the very last mission ends with Capt. Price smoking a cigar.
When you look at Washington from the top of the WH... And all around green flares start appearing on top of buildings... The city is *not* lost... That just gives me chills, those are brothers ready to fight back...
As a Modern Warfare in real life, this juju’s my beat
I feel like I am the most Modern Warfare, when folding out my 152-radio to call someone, and ask where the fuck they moved the support area, while I was being OPFOR☠️
So Soap earned his name in OG Trilogy by “cleaning house” (clearing a house) with remarkable precision and speed. In the new trilogy he earned it because when price recruited him for TF141 he was a demo expert from SAS and earned his name by famously using soap bars as part of his detonation devices.
The new MW games are a duology as far as I'm concerned and a great one. We don't talk about III.
Holy shit, you are COOKING. Just the things I needed after the long day at work. Boutta make some tea and snacks cuz the evening gotta be cozy :)
As someone who lives in the DC area, I can't stress how good a job MW2 did with its iteration of Northern Virginia and DC. I remember playing this game and the pre-brief with the emergency broadcast system actually freaked out my college roommate because he had only been half paying attention and suddenly thought there was an actual emergency broadcast about evacuating DC.
holy fuck a actual good take, good on you for not indulging on mw3, LITERALLY EVERYONE SAID IT WAS TRASH (and it was) and then everyone proceeded to still buy it? like im so confused with the content creators i love to watch calling that shit a cash grab and trash and then they still bought it to play it, im really glad that your not one of those.
these games were my first introduction to video games as a whole and also my favorite pastime with my dad as me and him played them through some of the hardest times in our lives and now that he's gone it breaks my heart to play them all alone but so happy at the same time. these games will always have a special play in my heart. love you dad cant wait to play with you again
35:17 when Captain Price says good it just feels so cold
I love compilation videos like this, thanks for the awesome new video!
Man, Modern Warfare 2 mission whiskey hotel had me hoping for the next COD to have a mission in Moscow just so we could burn it to the ground just as Sergeant Foley said
33:15 always gives me chills when I’m playing because it feels so real seeing it on your TV. The astronaut being blown away from the satellite does it for me too
I miss the cod campaigns so much, I would always play them first before touching multiplayer. WAW is still one of my all time favorites
When I was replaying MW2 my friend who was in the us army noted how there was only few jets coming to the Washington and how desperate everyone was with the flares, as he said 'Makes you think what they carried'
It really does
fun fact about the tutorial for both MW1 and 2: That's an actual thing used to prepare for an op or train for various scenarios. They're called Kill Houses.
"It is used to train soldiers and police for various urban combat scenarios while permitting them to use their full power service weapons. The scenarios trained for include room and apartment clearing, door breaching and the inclusion of hostage or noncombatant targets along with enemy targets ("shoot/no shoot")."
Thank you Shaun for not cutting
0:29 it's funny he mentions loving playing these vids podcast style while gaming or other things when this is literally what I'm doing with this video lol
@gamingwins 34:02 your character does actually look at how bad his hands are messed up in the og mw2 as well it just looked terrible due to the meshes and texture of the gloves and the charge tees hands combining. It’s crazy how good the mw2 remastered looks even compared to the brand new cods
52:01
I think that's actually a Hyena, which makes the scene even more awesome, as Hyenas have a bite strength comparable to bears, sharks, and is even stronger than that of a lion's
Yes it is a hyena, they were in the missions of Africa (can't remember which country exactly it was, probably Sierra Leon) and were constantly used in said missions instead of dogs so yeah....Yuri just casually stopping a hyena to shoot the enemy before finishing the animal with a couple of shots
Bad ass vid , I wholeheartedly agree with you 100% 🎉
Hey @Gamingwins, another great video and your cranking them out super fast. Just Don’t burn yourself out though man. Any plans to do the old old call of duty games like 1,2,3.
The OG MW series as well as halo changed me as a young lad
I like how its only soaps 6 day and he already save 41 million lives
The 10k like I am super excited for this video!!!
52:02 That's not a dog that's hyena
The intro of the mock up mission is a scale recreation of the layout of the ship they’re going to be infiltrating in the first real mission. It was a clever way to show us the ropes of the game imo.
First 10 seconds of the video and you already hit the nail on the head
I was too young for prime mw2 but that campaign will forever hold a special place in my heart. Replaying and fully understanding the events that are unfolding was incredible. In recent time ive found i enjoy the marine missions far more than the special ops purely because of how close it hits. Watching D.C. fall was one of the most impactful and emotional moments in videos games for em
27:45
Yeah, we French basically entered World War in vast openfields with blue shirts and red pants. Very nice from us to make ourselves really easy to spot from afar, and easier targets to aim at.
Superb video as always, keep this channel going it's a sweet bakery (if that make any sense)
You are one of the most positive creators I've seen on RUclips, I've seen you give wins to games that may or may not deserve them... Which just goes to show, the fact that you straight up refuse to cover MWII.V (Roman numerals are fun), is a tribute to how badly they fucked up.
Correction in 33:57, In the Mission Second Sun, Ramirez looks at his hands in the original as well. Remastered didn't add the animation
REALLY cool detail to see the characters bones in his hands when the nuke goes off. I’ve seen some type of report that the brightness of a nuke someone said they could see the bones in their hand
I thank GW for showing not myself but many other people who enjoyed every moment of play the MW trilogy. Damn man I remembered playing the trilogy on the PS3 two summers ago. Till this day it's still the best of what I've known so far.
great recap! the one thing ill say you missed as a W is the loading screen dialogue between makarov and Price before the juggernaut mission.
"my war ends with you"
"Like it ended for captain MacTavish?" tell me Price, how long did it take him to die? ive destroyed your world piece by piece, its only a matter of time before i find you"
"you wont have to look far"
i remember that giving me absolute chills as a kid.
I really like your video dude, one thing I want to call out is try changing your font color with your subtitles, the rest is over the best
I love in Mw3 when soap dies, after the pistol. Price shoots yuri a thousand yard stare and only breaks when the windows blow in. Price is a badass through and through.
The Modern Warfare is the first series outside of Halo i played through start to finish.
MW2 was my first multiplayer experience back in Middle School.
This trilogy is just so great. I want to play it through again now just to experience it. The WW3 pre, during, and post through the trilogy is what i see a real-life event happening like. Its scary how close it could be, but seeing the action hero of Price and all of the amazing heroes in the fallen of the trilogy really harkens that real war, there are only survivors at the end.
Actually Ramirez does look at his hands after the helo crash in Second Sun. One detail that is added in the remaster is he'll actually catch the magazine that Foley throws him instead of it being a normal reload.(although he keeps the ammo left in his current mag if you have any which contrasts with the original)
I loved the OG trilogy and i know the 3 cod games i played backed then was Bo1 and 2 and the other was MW3 and now coming back to MW3 now that im older i can really see how great of a game i had my first mw game i always loved every misson in the campaign and the spec ops and the mp of it and i just wish they still had the passion they had when they made the OG trilogy because it truely meant something to all of us
All the choppers falling around you and the guy screaming EMP!!! HOLLLYY SHIIITTT!!!
Fighting to get the green flares on the roof and guy popping two and sprinting to the top so many great moment makes me wonder why that imagination is gone these days
There's literally a display from the last mission in Museum lol. Shepherd is reciting the 5 years ago speech and Price is in the RHIB
The best of the best cod’s right here.
I finally know what some of these works mean! Thanks!!
The nuke mission in COD 4 just felt so surreal. I just remember sitting there in shock as I took in the full view of the mushroom cloud, and because we could crawl around, the kid that I was tried to go back into the helo and escape before the private could die.
could not have asked for a better person to make this video
I played these games in reverse order on an old 360 but being able to have played such historic games makes me feel blessed im not the best at shooters by any means but these are the few i can always play and know ima have a good time
black ops 1 was my first entry in the series, I beat the campaign in one sitting in secret with my dad arriving home shortly after the credits rolled in the dark hours of the morning. It will always be my favorite cod, but mw3 takes a close second being my second cod game and the one I played a lot with my now deceased cousin. I didn't fully understand the story at the time but it was still an amazing adventure I will always remember fondly, only being surpassed by mw2's and bo1's campaign
Jumped ship after mw 2009 but holy hell were the original cod2, cod4, and mw2 literally legendary games and unforgettable gaming times. never was there a cod like those ever again, truly made with talent and care.
16:23 I like how you can hear him laugh over the comms lmao
2 things i love about MW2
1. Is the background radio chatter of other units in DC they tell diffrent stories for example
- bradley unit wanting to engage a specific russia para unit for killing civvies
- american units setting up ambush to snatch russian para troopers
2. This EAS 33:14 when it says "be aware of your surroundings remain alert" basically saying "whoever is out there that isnt us is out to kill you and us so get out of here but watch out" and knowing your a civvie still in the city with thousands of russians out to kill you is pretty terrifiying
Man i miss these amazing cod days. WaW was the perfect WW2 game. No war game has a atmoshphere like thst 1. It was legit eerie even the main menu. Love going back to play them all.
I literally just finished binging the og modern warfare trilogy less than 20 minutes ago and this was the first video to show up when I open RUclips
One of my favorite little details is that the Price Makarov convo in “Enemy of My Enemy” clearly sets up Price to be the next one to die.
“Looking forward to it.”
But by the end of the trilogy Price is one of the only ones left standing. Or I suppose sitting and smoking.
fun fact, in the mission all ghillied up, in the lake part, u can do it stealthily, sometimes mcmillan will tell u instructions
33:55 incorrect. The original game had this too. You crash down into the ground and when you come to you stare at your beaten up and burnt hands, then, the Nuke/EMP bomb goes off.
Dimitri Petrenko was in base COD4 as well. Maybe Treyarch thought "hey, that's a cool ass Russian name" and used it as the name for the player in WAW. Similar to Captain Price in COD1+2.
I agree and I'd like to add Foley as well which was first used as ''Sgt. Foley'' in COD1
Bro left out one of the most impactful parts of the nuke scene
As that chopper turned and fell you legit had different thoughts running through your head as every rotation was completed and got you closer and closer to the ground, the alarms are non stop in the back, the engine struggling to keep up while the whining grows in pitch and volume just before
Silent darkness, just to wake up in the closest thing to hell humanity is capable of bringing to earth
Having just saved a downed pilot it's like your savior's, angel's, protector's etc wings evaporated and was left to fall down to hell
Edit: Dear lord you also didn't seem to include the cutscene right after that shows the explosion via satellite images and the estimated deaths are displayed as well as every single dead soldier caught up in the blast including their full names while in the background you can hear several news broadcasts trying to make sense of what just happened in the world in both confusion terror and disbelief
From start to finish, I LOVED this trilogy and it's hilarious how it took the DLC/MW2 sequel to bring us back to this.
For one thing, this was a great progression story. First game was about bringing in Price & Soap, while showing us what it was with Zakhaev and laying the groundwork for what would come in MW2. Then with Modern Warfare 2 we get a madman fueled by the fallout (both literal and figurative) of what we witnessed in the first. (Now you're wondering which madman I'm talking about, huh? That's the BEAUTY of this second game. We had two madmen at the center of the events here, with a maniac out to stop both.) My lone thing with the second game is, I don't THINK we ever got an explanation for how Price landed in that Gulag or maybe it was laced in the explanation of the very place they were set to break into. (This by the by is my favorite part of the game, cause it gives me my favorite gun in the game. The AA-12 or Semi Automatic Shottie. I was absolutely GIDDY when I saw this was accessible. I used it in the Gulag. Used it in 3 when the plane got hijacked.) Once Shepard plays his hand, MANN...
The third game in all seriousness, starts when Shepard plays his hand outside of that safehouse. I love how the safe house mission and actions of Shepard bleed directly into The Boneyard where it's more or less a bloody free for all with Makarov's crew, Shepard's hit squad and Price in the middle. Makarov tells Price 'one day, you'll learn that cuts both ways' when Price hits him with the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' line and then in the finale, we find out Yuri knows Makarov when Soap is on his deathbed. To have the third game pick up IMMEDIATELY where we leave off in 2 with the chopper landing with Soap bleeding out, it's great. The joint mission where 141 teams with the Americans to rescue the President and effectively end the war, clearing Price to focus on ending his vendetta with Makarov was great.
From start to finish, I loved this. It told a great story and we had a great villain to end this thing with. I'm not a fan of the subdued Shepard we got and really, I'm not one of these old heads who is of the 'it was better in my day but in this instance...this version WAS BETTER. I refuse to play or even rent that MW3 they just spat out to a $50 plus price tag on PS4. Piss off with that crap. Thank you for this video, this was great.
Yo, I belive since Price was saved in MW by russian forces on that bridge he had to be medicaly treathed in Russia. After the Zakhayevs death there was outcry in russia to punish the responsible. Other soliders might have died on the way. Probably Makarov got involved and got to put Cpt. Price in the Gulag. Smart move since he understands who Price is to pull of what he did in MW. So any military action to get him out would resault in war as well! Only thing is WW3 was already underway when Gulag is attacked. That is why they freed him then, there was no oppening before. This is also why Soap didnt know who 627 actually was.
So there you go this is my logic behind it. I wish they would officialy explain it but that is it.
As a matter of fact, Price ending up in the Gulag was actually explained, but by way of a sort of official, Activision (or IW) endorsed fan movie of sorts, called Operation Kingpin. After the events of COD4, Price, Soap, Ghost, and Sandman all move in on this compound where Makarov was rumored to be I believe. He isn’t there, it ends up being an ambush if I remember correctly, and Soap is wounded. Price provides cover for the others to get to the evac chopper, and he ends up getting shot in the process, and the chopper has to leave because there’s a massive swarm of Russian soldiers incoming. So Price is wounded and ends up being left behind, and he’s captured by Russian soldiers and imprisoned in the exact gulag that you rescue him from in MW2. Sandman being a part of that mission is also the explanation for why Price and Sandman seemingly know each other during the joint mission between 141 and Delta in MW3. I still find it really cool that they did that little bit of background lore narrative stuff that they really didn’t need to do. It’s a nice touch that they did it anyway and it all interconnects.
The reason price gives you the pistol in cod4 was because he was implied to have died shortly after passing it to you, if you look back at him after killing zakheav his name is gone and he lies motionless, obviously they probably changed it after the remaster cuz suprise price wasnt dead
I really love when video games actually have other points of view in video games besides soldiers it gives a sense of world building like ready or not only difference is ready or not does it through environmental story telling
"Drink some water" *shows the gas pouring scene*
How dare you, sir
I’m 15 and when everyone was playing there Ps4 and XBox One I was playing MW, MW2, MW3, WAW, BO1 and BO2 on my 360.
