What would you like to see me cover next?
Assassin's creed
Timeline of NieR would be a very good one
@@ryanpuckett9525ohhhhhhh nice
Can you do assassin's creed?
Metal gear
Cool piece worth mentioning - the M1911 that Soap hands to Price after saying "this belongs to you, sir" is the 1911 that Price originally slid to Soap on the bridge at the end of the events of Call of Duty 4. Soap has been hanging on to this weapon the whole time.
Also, up until that point, Soap is known only to the player (Roach) as Capt. MacTavish. It is only after they break Price out that Soap is referred to as Soap once again. That's why the teammate with you says "who the hell is Soap?"
Both very cool tidbits. Thanks for sharing!
And to add, after Soap's death, Price give the gun to Soap once again and put it on his body indication of their friendship and student/mentor relation
@@greenth-mac2550 yes, you’re right!!! Thanks for adding that.
@Boss Like Personally, IW had an incredible campaign, and WWII at least managed to execute the "brothers in arms" feeling pretty good with likable characters.
And of course, no need to say anything about MW2019
I was just talking about this with a friend, I was a child back then and those details are still in my mind
I feel so bad for the kids today that are growing up with MW 2019 and MW2 2022. They have no idea how amazing the original MW and MW2 were. I remember being 13 seeing the trailer for MW2 showing the AC130 and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. Plus we had Halo 3, Left 4 Dead, Dead Space, Borderlands. If you were cool you had an Xbox 360.
So true bro
I started playing the MW trilogy for the first time in 2018. I hated the graphics initially. But it was one of the only smooth games my PC could run so I tried it. Got really invested with the campaign and I loved it together with the other MW's.
Serious man I remember comin home from school putting on the 360 and hopping on a game of free for all on mw2
Agreed but MW2 2022 is the most impressive CoD I’ve seen since BO2 and OG MW2. They are headed in the right direction. I bet MW3 2025 is going to be a masterpiece(hopefully)
i dont feel completely bad for em yea they missed out but these new MW are def the best new cods to come out and also if u were cool u had a ps and fucked bihs
One extra detail about Ghost and Roach's deaths is that, Shepherd only injured Roach with the gunshot since it was somewhere below the chest, while killing Ghost with a headshot. That means Roach was conscious the whole time, and thus he was burnt alive, that's why during that whole sequence you still keep some control over the camera.
Shepherd did them both dirty but to choose to burn roach to death? What did this guy kill your whole family or something?
@@diamondswish cuz shepherd mad his 30,000 men died in the nuke that happened in the previous game
TF141 are the only ones besides Makarov that Shepherd knew about the attack on the airport and placed Allen in the group instead of stopping it. Killing TF 141 and getting ahold of the DSM they had would erase all evidence of Shepherd's knowledge of the attack and would preserve his image as a war hero instead of war criminal.
@@suicidaldeer9240what you’re saying coincides with the monologue “history is written by the victor”
@@Gerald_Frenulum and also, you know.. the entire point of saying its one less loose end.. roach and ghost were those loose ends. it had a dual meaning, the dsm and tf141.
I love how the DS campaigns actually tie in to the timeline. I honestly always thought those were separate timelines
I forgot there were even COD games on the DS 😅
I noticed in MW3 Defiance that in all of the levels you play as the National Guard, all of the National Guard soldiers are wearing Vietnam War US uniforms that I imagine were reused from the DS version of Black Ops. Just a funny little quirk I found
@@TacticalBaguette why is playing as the national guard funny to me 😂
@@Voidsyrup Probably because every single other modern setting COD game has you play as some kind of special forces.
Honestly feel like the DS games should be side stories if anything.
COD:MW2 was always my favorite, but the entire trilogy is just amazing, glad to see you re-doing this timeline again.
Same
Same
Same
Same
Same
Imagine joining the special forces and given the codename “Roach” 💀
Guy probably survived impossible odds enough to earn the nickname. You know, before getting some vitamin .44 and a gasoline tan
What kind of a name is Soap?
@@pbjent thats CIA classified
@@pbjent I got the reference😂
"Right, what the hell kinda name is Roach, eh?"
Sandman, Truck, Grinch and Frost need to have a comeback in the reboot universe of Modern Warfare, they’re to cool to be left out
True
You forgot Roach and Worm.
I guess you can also include Yuri.
And don't forget Foley Dunn and Ramirez

This video is very impressive. It's almost like you, yourself, wrote the script to this beloved COD trilogy! I've played all the COD campaigns throughout the years, but this trilogy, was the reason why I became an avid COD player and fan. I hoped they (Infinity Ward) would have continue this storyline. I'm so glad I came across this video. It's been years since I had followed the storyline of these classic CODs. Very well executed!
If they continued it I feel like it would be ruined, and where would we start? Everyone basically died at the end of mw3
Price is impressed by Soap's performance
Also Price: "That was an improvement, but it's not hard to improve on garbage."
Yeah I’ve been playing mw1 recently and running the course over and over again to get under 15 seconds (my best is like, 17 so far) and the amount of times I’ve heard that 💀
very true
Yeah that's the most affection you're going to get out of him😆
They actually fixed that in the Remastered version of Cod 4, in that, if you get a new record Cpt. Price commends you (trust me it will feel rather wholesome XD)
This series has evolved from "war is bad look at horrors" to cool emo and overdressed villains
COD4 was my first game in the series back in 2008 when I was 8 years old, I was only playing the campaign story and it was THE best modern military shooter I saw so far, everything looked "Extremely" realistic (back then), the missions where hard and fun to play, and the ending was So Perfect!
I later got the chance to play MW2 and MW3, the original trilogy is what made me love COD in the first place and still to this day, " Modern Warfare " IS " Call of Duty " for me... I kept waiting for a sequel for 8 years and MW2019 finally happened but with the cost of having a short singleplayer campaign, the one thing I wanted.
I can never say enough about COD4, MW2, MW3, but if I have to add 2 things, I played EVERY Single Mission of each title for more than a 100+ time over the past 14 years, not to mention the times and times I times I put into Spec Ops (MW2&3) and Survival.
I have some fears for MW II but I want to believe that early campaign access means something, something like a longer campaign, and hopefully this year's Spec Ops won't be forgot mid-way and be better.
This is me trying to explain to these kids, Black Ops is good but Modern Warfare is great.
@@shadowban1466 they won’t hear it, it’s a generational thing. my interest was in halo, and i’ve already seen it happen three times within the eight installments. halo 2 kids told me halo 3 sucked, halo 3 kids (me) told halo reach that it sucked, reach kids told.. you get the point. it’s nearly all based on nostalgia and it’s an endless cycle.
So true. CoD 4 changed the game. MW2 perfected it.
bro how do you like the new mw2 2022
@@matthewgomez892 I am yet to play the game, but watched the spec ops missions and they were great. I am looking for to try the campaign, the most thing I am exited about
Man the original is so great. I did hate how Frost magically disappeared at the end of 3
He supposedly takes part in a different mission with different operators in "Black Ice"(Spec-Op).
@@russo1014 So, he is the responsible of collapsing the mine?
@@jaio3697 I believe so. Since the mission objective was to plant charges around different positions and blow em to kingdom high.
Hmmmmmmm probably was at the same location but was tasked with stop reinforcements from showing up and taking out any AA implacments they can find to allow allied air support and reinforcements to take the mine and to get everyone out
And I believe markarov blew the mine so no one could escape
Why does he say Gaz died if he is in the new Modern Warfare
In MW1 they had 'the Four Horsemen'.
It wouldn't be till MW3 till you found out that Makarov is the 4th Horsemen.
And only if you connect the fact that the '4th Horsemen' achievement for when the nuke goes off in MW1 linking with Makarov being present when the nuke goes off.
Makarov isn't the fourth horseman, hes the first first horseman. Imran Zakhaev is the 4th horseman. You get the 1st horseman achievement when the nuke goes off. You get the 4th Horseman achievement for killing Imran at the end of MW1.
@@endplanets I wonder who are the 2nd and 3rd horsemen? Viktor and Yuri…?
@@rottingarchangeloi2734 Its Khaled (not Saddam), Old Zakhaev, young Zakhaev, and Makarov. Those guys were important in the original MW1
@@endplanets thank you for explaining ! ^^
I know everyone knows the Modern Warfare trilogy for the multiplayer, but the story is easily one of the best in any modern fps game.
Edit: along with Doom and Halo, MW is one of those “The single player is incredible but the multiplayer is almost better.”
Bo1 is my favorite single game story but the mw overall story is the best cod story
Man the bar is so low
@@Nuggets250 Name better ones then.
@@immortal2510 BioShock, Doom + Eternal, Wolfenstein New Order, far cry 3. In terms of linear modern military fps Black ops or modern warfare are the best but that just signifies why the bar is so low.
@@Nuggets250 I think Halo tops them all off, story wise
Playing CoD MW series as a kid blew my mind with how they set the timeline. First MW been the end of mw story.
Maybe, but MW2 definitely had an equally incredible story
Wow, I didn’t even know these DS games existed. I was so confused for a minute before I realized what was going on. This is super thorough. Great video
Just come back to playing COD and this timeline is amazing, thank you for putting your time and effort to make such a fantastic video 😀
Crazy storyline, absolutely love it!, you are so underrated and i apreciate such long videos to just turn off from the reality and enjoy
when I was playing the campaigns as a kid I didn't even know the series was this deep, especially from mw-mw3 everything aligned up and just makes perfect sense now
Back then, I was the only one who was playing this on the computer shops where I'm from. Others were mostly playing DOTA or Battlerealms. This game, CS, Prototype, and Half-life were my go to games whenever I had money.😅
ayo same lmao
i never had such a great interest for MOBA games and could never pick up on it, but the classics like COD4 and CS1.6/CSS were amazing to play
@@antoni4582 its funny looking back at CS's graphics and we all thought it to be so groundbreaking back then🤣
Playing the new series of MW has been wholesome, because when I was younger I experienced the pain of losing all of my (virtual) brothers through the original trilogy
Heyy, glad to know you updated this. I was really hoping someone will cover the DS games too.
Hope you enjoyed it!
This John Price is the grandchild of world war 2 Price (in early call of duty's) who died on the Tirpitz.
Well COD 2 retcons his death and makes it so that he survives the war.
He died on that ship mission right?
@@Bruh-bp6nni mean Cod2 was actually a prequel
Upon watching this video, the events in the MW installments all seemed to connect together flawlessly as I've been questioning what the full story of Modern Warfare was up until watching this video. Call of Duty sure made my childhood since I would watch my grandpa play the third MW game when I was a kid. Sweet sweet nostalgia.
Jesus, Ghost's lore is a lot more deeper than I thought
IW could also take place in the new MW timeline because one of the villains in the side missions is named Barkov, implying that he is a descendant of Anton Barkov
I’ve noticed a whole lot of infinite warfare assets in MW2019 too. Mostly in the weapons and campaign missions
Call of Duty 1 also has a Captain Price, Probably John Price's grandfather, so it too can be in the same timeline.
@@pbjent I would call of duty 2 for that one, since I’m call of duty 1 cpt price dies and they retcon it in COD 2
@@Ibr_k47 that’s probably just assets that they used because that was IWs game before MW2019 but it’s an interesting theory
Also a destroyed space carrier is called 141 in honour of TF141.
I remember beating MW2 for the first time in 2010. I had loved call of duty since COD 2 but MW2 really hooked me on the series. I remember the excitement I felt during the release of MW3, I don't think any other game will top that feeling for me
That "Middle Eastern Country" in the first Modern Warfare is Saudi Arabia (based on the satellite feeds).
Also, Soap was killed in Prague due to the clocktower shrapnel reopening his stab wound (that was inflicted by Shepherd).
Was never really into FPSs as a whole when I was a kid, is usually played stuff like RuneScape but I remember playing a mw3 modded version for free on my crappy old pc and having an absolute blast.
Now that I’m older and have recently picked up the new cod mw2 im starting to fall in love with this series
You really did a great job explaining it all the way it’s crazy I started playing cod at 4 back in 2009 and now I’m 17 this video has nostalgia all over it thank you for bringing my childhood back 😢
Appreciate that
You definitely didnt play entire story modes at 4 years old 😂
@@vaniljam5176 could’ve had older brother I played each one and I’m 2006 just doesn’t mean I completed it same year
My favorite COD all time is COD4. When I watching the video and seeing clips of the game. It brought me old good memories and put a big smile to my face 🥲 the true GOLDEN ERA of video gaming at the time.
Same bro cod 4 is goated
MW3 man…. My childhood right there
I really miss the OG COD MW series, I like the new COD MW to an extent, but nothing compares to fighting in the US, thinking that there was an existential crisis. The "operator" stuff is cool, but those Ranger missions where you're acting as a conventional grunt in the thick of it really drew me in
Bro I loved the way u combined both the Nintendo and play station series together good job bro
I hope this video is looked back upon by the future generations as they get the chance to understand the story of the og days of cod
There were three CoD games before the original Modern Warfare games. just saying.
@@pbjent played them too I’m just saying these were my games bro theirs different perspectives in the world
Price is the main protagonist and seeing your friends one by one dying especially Ghost and Soap are the most painful way to endure to finish your mission. Killing Shepherd and Makarov is the most satisfying event in COD MW. Thank you for this masterpiece.
the best video game trilogy ever. COD 4 & MW2 are my favourite MWs
MW2 has probably has the best ending to a call of duty
MW3 is so underratted
Agreed. MW2 campaign is sooooo good. Still has the best ending. I didn’t like MW3 multiplayer.
that Infinite Warfare part kinda ruined it for me tbh i dont see how that fits
Just as expected, this video is amazing.
Fun fact : you can kill admiral kotch and you get a trophy for it
This whole time I didn't know. I always wanted to drop that fool.
I know the story as I have played every single Modern Warfare Call of Duty except the remasters, but it's still nice to watch a video about the story, it's been more than a decade, and Ghost's and Roach's deaths are still super sad for me, ever since I first saw the scene.
Haha i remember when i first played loose ends my brother who already beat the game told me to play it on a harder difficulty so when I finally beat the mission I was so happy until I saw the ending.
I like the whole modern warfare series, but Cod 4 will always have the best campaign. To me, it seems like one of the last Call of Duty's to stay a little grounded in reality with its campaign, and not an over-the-top crazy story that makes you feel like a super soldier. Cod 4's campaign is a lot more simple; A conflict in the middle east and a civil war going on and Russia. Sure the nukes and stuff are a bit crazy but not as crazy as a nuke exploding right above Washington D.C. The missions are more simple as well. Take out enemies, grab some documents, destroy a vehicle, find a person, etc. Also, the entire campaign takes place in 2 settings if you exclude the cargo ship mission. However, in MW2 and MW3 you get these crazy missions and you are fighting on a different side of the world every other mission. One moment you're in South America fighting some dude then the next moment you're defending Burger King from the Russians, then you get in a juggernaut suit and you're mowing down security guards. It is cool cinematically and fun, but it's just almost too nuts to understand what is going on or even make it believable. Cod 4 just has a much more simple tone to the game that will always make it number 1 in my opinion.
Price and McMillan take out hundreds of soldiers and 2 helicopters with 2 snipers way behind enemy lines. dont act like cod4 didn't also make your character a "super soilder"
I don’t think you realize how important burger was in stopping world war three
Seein the old DS gameplay brings back great memories from when I was a kid
Thank you so much man for this amazing recap. Thank you brother appreciate it.
I finally found a video that explained it in a way I could understand
I like how the story is straightforward and somewhat understandable but then it just takes a hard fucking left and now we’re fighting martians with laser guns on titan
Damn man, I love you for this video ❤️. Brought back so many memories of when I was a kid.
Seeing Price in CoD2 and again in CoD4:MW and so on till the end was the best thing. So, I am happy that he is back in this new game. Also, not being Soap anymore after CoD4:MW is strange feeling and watching me (Soap) dies was even stranger. 😀 Game makes great deal in connecting you with the caracter.
loved this video man keep up the amazing work!
This vid was really helpful for me, thanks! For some reason I have a hard time following the storylines while playing games.
This was a great summary. The only real plot hole imo is when the Russians set off bombs all over Europe in MW3 and proceed to invade. Russia didn't have any motive to attack Western Europe, maybe besides Cold War history and also Makarov didn't have any official authority over the Russian military. Not to mention that Russia does not have the capacity to invade both USA and Europe. Otherwise this saga is awesome and better than most movie scripts.
I wish China got involved and maybe North Korea without them sending nukes everywhere but I guess it would be too "controversial"
Great video, keep being awesome!
One of the best gaming trilogies to exist
Dude I'm liking this video just for the amount of work you put in just to make this video
Thanks again for the useful cod information
Great video man thank you for all the hard work really enjoyed this
man ghost back story was good thanks bro
I respect your patience with playing a fps game originally made for the DS
Nice an update been waiting for it for a long time heheheh. Thank you Suggestive Gaming
Very helpful and entertaining! I was about 20% into MW3 and couldn't remember what was going on (because it had been a while).
keep up the good work with the content! I would like to suggest a few timelines that would be interesting
1. Assassins Creed
2. Wolfenstein
I think both of these franchises would be really interesting to go over, especially Assassins creed
Thank you for including The DS games many people right them off because they’re on the DS
I’m 19 being 5 when mw2 came out. I still managed to play it as it was still relatively new when I started gaming when bo1 came out and being my first cod release experience. First cod was cod 3 on a ps2 and got a 360 for Christmas and the rest is history. I’ve played every single cod at release to this day! Albeit the old days were better than now and I was lucky to be able to experience prime Black ops 1/2 and mw trilogy
I LOVED MW3. It was such a good game. Underrated
Yea still waiting for the remaster
MW: best campaign 100/10
MW2: best multiplayer 100/10
MW3: best spec ops 100/10
All of those games hit home man
A very cool piece of trivia regarding the Down The Rabbit Hole mission, Frost wasn't there with the Metal Team that time as shown in the Spec Ops mission where the player controls a character designated as Metal 0-4 (which is Frost's designation) with a separate task of initiating the self-destruct sequence on the mines. The demise of Metal Team was because of Frost's actions. Don't know if it's canon, but I think it makes a pretty cool headcanon as to why Frost isn't there with them.
Thanks for explaining the whole COD story from 1 to 3,I usually just played for fun. Thanks for your recapp explanation 👍 really helpful😊
god damn captain price has lived one hell of a life
OMG THAT DS FOOTAGE HIT ME WITH SO MUCH NOSTALGA
"I bet you're wondering why I wear these bones on my face. It's a tribute to an old friend of mine. He's dead now, but man if he wasn't the baddest motherfucker on the planet.
Riley was his name. Simon Riley."
I'm so glad that you even considered the DS games, not many people know they exist and even less that they could be part of the story.
Love how infinite warfare is included, makes the timeline so much cooler knowing how it goes into the future.
I dont understand? The new modern warfare (2019) has all the characters like gaz ghost etc. Werent they dead? Sorry if my English is bad
@@osize8893 modern warfare 2019 is a soft reboot to the story. so it's a retelling basically of it in a different but similar way.
@@jamesk5541 I wouldn't even say it's a retelling. It's a very different story
@@jamesk5541 it isn’t a soft reboot it’s a full reboot and only the characters and 1 event is the same (that being the all ghillied up mission)
except they dont connect and is basically the black ops 3 equivalent to the modern warfare saga
Here's a fun fact for everyone Nora Salter from Infinite Warfare voices MP character Roze from MW2019
That's awesome, Roze is my favorite Operator and I really liked Salter in IW.
I finished my MW Trilogy(original) today as I started last week, I've been very immersive towards the storyline since I've been wanting to play it for quite a long time since my childhood but I couldn't afford to. I'm glad that managed to play it finally.
brought a used PS4 Slim back in November, my first gaming console and glad to start my journey with the COD MW Remastered (2007), already completed it and looking forward to buy the MW2 (2009) remastered 🔥
ramierez did indeed protect the burger town
RAMIEREZ!!!!
Ah yes, James Ramierez, one of the best character in OG MW2
I would love for the ds mission to be converted into HD mission meaning in Home consoles graphics.
I used to be so scared of a world war by the way they protrayed it in the original MW saga, of course i was a child but man was it good
this was truly an awesome video, i dont understand why it has so few likes but anyway really good work:)
My uncle was a marine force recon. It's great they were in modern warfare
I only played this like during the pandemic. Im so glad I did. Ive always seen the Shepherd betryal scene but it was as devastating as when you never saw it coming, because the game did an excellent job humanizing the characters, including the antagonists.
I love the content bro your amazing my dude 💯💯💯🙏🏼. Nostalgia is real
If you guys are wondering about the DS version/bad graphics/2007 read the desc
Bioshock timeline??
Best COD trilogy infinity Ward and Sledgehammer ever made.
this is amazing you explained everything well and everyone’s story’s very well to just amazing good job keep it up great video
Thank you so much!
The best ❤️
New MW reboot version/different timelines can't beat the original trilogy 🔥
Something I was always confused by is how in MW3 the Russia military continues to attack western Europe even though their president was taken captive by Makarov. At that point did the military just swear alliance to Makarov?
Bro price really gave the guy on the iss the worst death possible 💀💀💀
Such a masterpiece. Thank you for this beautiful summary of the Original MW series
This story deserves a whole movie
Wait so Gaz was suppose to die in Modern warfare 2019 campaign reboot? Uh oh
There's no way you not notice that.
Price killing macorav is one of the most badass missions I’ve ever played in any game
Ghost’s story is so interesting, just makes him my favorite character even more. So unique
Man I did not realize how sad the games were. I didn’t know pretty much all of them died
Yup, and that's what makes them great. They make you care about all these characters then bam!
@@bombomos Thats what make the new one is bland !
Do you think think will make another modern warfare 3 2025/26 ? I didn’t know ghost had this much back story crazy.
if mw2 does well ofc. they arent trying to sacrifice too much story. theyre taking their time to make more future games
@@KevinTheChungyou were saying
@@TRG_R17 i was partially right 😅. they’re obviously planning on more modern warfare games in the future but damn mw3 was a letdown
This video is so detail I didn’t even know there was a DS version of Modern Warfare lol
Thanks for this video very fire 🔥 I learned a lot about my favorite video game series🙏🏾
I would LOVE to see Activision and Sledgehammer/Treyarch/Infinity Ward come together and reboot the SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs games.... they could retell the stories of all 3 PS2 games and incorporate the PSP games too, as they were part of the main PS2 title stories.... I would live to see they retell the SOCOM franchise....
