Haven't paid attention to DBD in ages so when i heard "buffed predator" I genuinely went "YO WHEN DID THEY ADD THE PREDATOR?". My spirits were shattered in an instant when I remembered it was a perk.

The return of Larry ✨🤖✨

Security Office gang. We have a 200 hr playthrough with an insane base there. Love this game

Why wouldn’t you build the manufacturing base in the room above the blacksmith? No enemies can get to you and there is a decent amount of room in there. 3 outlets and room to expand if you can get on top of the forge

watch the old tenacious d hbo mini series

the top of helmholz makes a good base you just need ropeplant and blank to freely access it. you can also use the powered up jumppad plus cube to reach it.

I like most of his videos. Even the Resident Evil video other people hated on despite him not making the point clear enough. CrowbCat has always posted the odd awful video with biases and bad choices though. This was definitely one of them and I say that as someone who didn't like Black Ops 6. Call of Duty has definitely fallen and there are issues with it. He showcased some of them in clips such as how it lost some of its magic in many areas and the sliding for PC players and the common microtransaction issue that many modern day games face. Charging people money for better audio is the biggest sin. However, he's also unfairly nitpicking, which he's done in many videos. The Call of Duty multiplayer aspect of things were almost always goofy like that. This is why he didn't bother to show multiplayer clips from the previous games and only the campaign. Black Ops has always been a franchise where it's more over the top with that while Modern Warfare is the more realistic with it. Comparing the campaign to the ones from before and with the realism and horror of it is fine, but the new campaign had those moments too and has actually been one of the more well-received campaigns in a Call of Duty in a while. He decided to nitpick the worst looking and most awkward clips from it though that will always be awkward and weird when you play them out of context. And him choosing to show female devs, characters, etc. was definitely an intentional choice and feels like him trying to spin the narrative that they're hiring a bunch of unqualified feminists to make Call of Duty now and that this is why it's failing. Something he's done on many occasions as well. Especially when he watches and plays clips for videos by TheQuartering and other TH-camrs in that side of TH-cam.

In that manufacturing base, it's possible the patrolling robot that spawns in the hallway outside got lured in there somehow (maybe chasing a soldier?), saw your stuff, and did the thing it loves to do (punch furniture until it's gone). We made our own Hydroplant base in the Waterfall Apartments - you have access to water from the fountain, vending machines, tons of space, a great view from the top floor, you're outside bot patrol and aggro range, a shortcut to the area entrance in the basement, and the kitchen has a tremendous amount of cooking space.

Bro talks like this 💅💅👬

Im not subbed anymore

More like el Oinko.

Can’t wait for Feb!!!

You’ll be back

You are implying that the "visual storytelling" of Crowbcat's video has issues but you do not see the main issue of the modern corposuits literally skinwalking specific groups of people (like women, for example) for the sake of some quick fortnitesque buck on a really old franchise. Like, dude, don't think people are stupid, nobody sees the whole picture as "haha women" (look at Warframe, for example, people genuinely respect Rebecca Ford), the main issue that everybody is talking about is how disgraceful current COD devs are.

Looking at your replies towards the comments dunking on you, i want to believe that you are just trying to play it off cool best you can, but because you parrot the talking points you parrot, i cant rule out the possibility of you having a genuine humilliation fetish, it almost looks as if you enjoyed all the atrocious mean spirited comments you are recieving, where is this going really? if it does grow your channel, you will eventually get taken down off youtube.

The point is feminist writers and developers ruined call of duty. Especially the new mw3 storyline. The game was written by 3 feminists. No wonder why Makarov was made to appeal to the female gaze and Soaps death in mw3 2023 was uneventful with no buildup. The feminist writers assumed that soaps death in the new mw3 would shock us, but all it did disappointed us the same as makarov killing his own for no reason doesn’t show how menacing he is it makes us dislike him not despise him

My favorite unusual base is to set up at the crossroads in Manufactoring West. The big military base where the dudes always spawn? Clearing out their spawns there and giving us two full buildings with three floors each gives a lot of space and places to manuevr

3:18 bruh you should just stick to gaming

How the hell did you get that from what his video? Brooooo

your mother

How honorable of you to make a whole video dedicated to protect vulnerable and fragile women who even though they are strong independent adults, they are also victims of the patriarchy and are in much needed protection of double chinned white knights. Liked and subscribed!

Update: Commenters have directed me towards the source of the clips in question, "Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Direct." The video features a relatively even split between male and female devs, so despite me wanting to approach this without wanting to make any strong accusations, I can now more confidently say that Crowbcat made these creative choices with the intent of targeting or, at the very least, dunking on, specifically women in the industry. I would feel differently if the video had featured specific quotes from those people, in order to justify their specific appearance in the video. Combine that with the choice of gameplay footage featuring so many female campaign characters, and the evidence speaks for itself.

Your weight is disappointing. Your hair loss is disappointing. Your age and lack of children/meaningful accomplishments is disappointing.

so the crowbcat videob is almost 90% showing non-male developers and and non-male characters and obviously making fun of them. how does it NOT read like "boohoo wamen equal bad game which used to be soooo based" Also if people dont enjoy fortnite-style shite then there are THOUSANDS of games where you can shoot people as a MAYN and there are no female characters...

my main base is in the animal pens in the same spot you showed, but i use a rope vine near the water tank to get up and down and the stairway has the teslas

I think you should be allowed to be dissatisfied with a product, even if it was partially made by women.

I took back my dislike because you actually were pretty respectful even though I totally disagree with you. Only part I can maybe agree on is him including Laswell from MW2 remake in the video. If memory serves me right she doesn’t even get to use the gun or do anything because some guy comes up behind her and takes her captive. Not really a strong independent girl boss moment.

Man your clearly clout farming, i thought maybe you'd have a good point but your just attempting to throw shade for the sake of drama trying to muster up a point from almost nothing what seems like to be solely to grow your youtube channel, if you actually had a good point this would be entertaining, and you know that but the title and thumbnail is a typical classic youtube trick, shameless. Is it worth being known as a bullshitter and trading your word for some statistics, glad im not like that. What a waste of time, dislike, do not recommend.

bro you uploaded to the wrong website. this isn't reddit

I hated most of his videos, and it honestly makes sense that he's so reactionary. He'd make a video with 1%good criticism, and then the rest of the video is "THIS REFLECTION IS WORSE IN THIS GAME NOW!!" Just weird, it seems to line up with his views on society as well, lmao

Nah your tweaking man.

ppl can say whatevs they want but the fact that this is a consistent theme across multiple vids is very telling .

ik ur getting hate but i appreciate this bc i literally had the same exact thoughts watching that deadrising video . i remember watching his old vids and was just super disappointed in whatevs commentary he was trying to give as a woman . literally just seemed like he was mad that you cant sexually harass women in the game anymore.

Okay, I often disagree with with Crowbcat's videos in some way or another, but I think this take is really bad and it kinda seems like you're falling for exactly what Activision's strategy is with their hiring choices. Back in ye olden days, there weren’t a lot of women in positions of influence in gaming (positions you’d criticize if you didn’t like the direction a franchise was moving in, for example) and things are a lot better these days. But has it not occurred to you that this improvement is also part of a strategy that you’re unwittingly playing into? The old management was male-dominated, and the new management has a number of women in public-facing positions that are likely to come under a lot of scrutiny. They WANT you to think “Cowbcat criticizes the change in direction? Well, he included some women in his critique so he must be a misogynist.” We both know Activision has a long history of treating its female employees like absolute shit, do you really think they’re above cynically using them as human shields? They are deliberately putting these women in the firing line so that when Crowbcat shows Activision’s patent US20160005270A1 (the one where they use matchmaking to trick you into buying skins), you get distracted by the fact that he used some women in his B-roll, which he is going to because the women in question are a Lead Narrative Producer, a Senior Producer, a Senior Writer, and the Head of Brand Development. You’ve been played, man.

semi-pro yapping

From what I gather you’re mainly griped he used game voice overs over their real voices (which lets be honest is likely a vast improvement over the corporate jargon about the most innovative experience evar!!one1!) So you’re calling misogyny at ghosts.

The entire video is a miss because COD has *never* been this super sincere franchise that older zoomers want to remember it as. It's always had a reputation as being the "mature" FPS game for kids. The only thing that's changed is what appeals to younger audiences. In 2008 it was Michael Bay, nu-metal, and brown-bloom filters. Now it's Marvel, pop-culture references, and rainbow vomit. The only reason people are worshipping World at War *sixteen years* after it was released is because it's a narrative tool for "le culture war". Conveniently, Crowb doesn't feature the Nazi Zombies mode in his comparison, nor does he showcase any other legacy COD games. It's really quite deceptive.

Thank you for telling me he has a new video. I'll go watch it and like it, while I dislike yours.

Pesimo tu video, estas tratando de farmear vistas presentando una polemica que no existe y solo asumes, que quiere decir crowbcat, toma tu te mereces esto👎

Agreed

because women make the best games ever man...

That’s a good catch. Everyone in the comments is being purposefully obtuse, but he really did only identify the women he showed to pin the blame on them, purposefully leaving out the names and shots of men working at the same studio.

Yeah this ain't it, chief. Activision showcased these people, he highlighted producers and head of departments meaning they're the ones with the true final say on where the product ultimately ends up going. All of the men were directors

The crusty old men getting upset over a video because it doesn’t agree with their backwards world views. Didn’t think we’d lose crowbcat to the anti woke rabbit hole.

1:35 "I don't know who these guys are" *the literal founders of infinity ward and creators of call of duty* instantly lost all credibility

So Crowbcat points out that modern Call of Duty lost touch with what had originally made the series good, the gritty portrayal of war and hell lost to the Fortnite lootbox and battlepass system of over the top colors and corny characters and skins, and all you think about is women?
