Someone special to me once told me "If you don't actively pursuit your own happiness, you cannot call yourself smart". As a student with good grades and poor social life, this struck close to home.
I thought this game just nailed everything. Good varied guns, cool maps, good attachments, good perks, insanely well balanced, awesome color scheme, great game modes, good customization, and I loved the medals that pop up on top of the screen and how you can see how many of each medal you got. Oh, plus a bunch of awesome zombies maps.
If I'm playing with friends, I expect them to kill enemies or call them out. A few will sneak by but in general it's not a problem. If I'm playing with randoms, like in this game, I rely on the radar and use them as bait. I know enemies are nearby when my teammates start dying.
Drift0r, thank you for everything you have done and especially in explaining your life stories and tips. You are one of my majorly inspirations and you make my day. This is more of a thank you for what you do and I bet almost everybody else can agree with me on that. You rock Drift0r. #TeamDrift0r
I do I love sniping in all 1personshotterngames the first game I started playing online on PC is halo the mw2 mw3 mw4 cod waw codblack ops 1 it was my favorite but bo2 take over bo1 I love bo2 and all cods
i can totally agree with the first "Be careful what you wish for" irl. i was also in the advanced classes, plus i was a lighter skin tone then everyone else, so i got pushed around a lot. It totally sucks man and I can totally relate.
This is so much more relevant now with Ghosts being out. People wanted "bigger maps," "more perks," etc. I personally thought this game nailed everything (except hit detection) on the head.
At the risk of sounding like a snob, this is the first commentary that I actually finished in a long while. The topic was pretty interesting and handled from a mature perspective. Lots of people have been complaining about COD not sticking to its roots and now that it really does play like COD 4, they don't how to rely on gunskill and they just keep complaining. Your real life example was explained in a mature way too. Keep up the awesome commentaries/in-depth vids. Subbed
It astounds me that, in my experience, in America it's "cool" to be the one who doesn't do to well in school and the one who just doesn't care. I am an American and have alot of patriotic pride, but in my travels, mostly Japan and China, it is completely different. In Asian cultures it is the intellectual students that are usually the ones that are envied and the ones who are not doing well are the ones who are looked down upon.
Archangel Gaming its not really like that, what makes you envied is what clothes you have and things like that, no one cares how you do in school, at least at my school
Completely agree with the sentiment. I've always tried to keep it simple, in an effort to avoid the unforeseen consequences you touched on, and simply wished for a pony.
Drift0r your videos are quite enjoyable and provide good knowledge about the CoD games I love so much. BO2 is the culmination of CoD and when it actually works for me (I get screwed by lag a lot), it is my favorite in the series. Keep on making videos and I will keep on watching.
honestly your the only person who doesn't jump on bandwagons and tells your opinions and backs them up with solid proof, your not a jerk, you dont criticize any groups of people, i dont subscribe to many people but i wish i can subscribe to you twice, thank you sir, you have restored my faith in the gaming community
Your topics are so original i never thought i could think about the meaning of life and stuff like that while playing COD you are awesome I wish you a lot of success!!!
love the "real life" commentaries and mature topics. i mean there are tonns of commentaries whining about shit and its great to hear some interesting stories/ lessons like some of your older vids (ghost stories, epic dream, relegion shit...) Love it bro!!
I love how professional Drift0r is. He says what he's doing, what he's using, and what the topic of the video is all in the first 30 seconds of the video or less!
Hello from France Driftors! I've been following you for quite a long period of time and I enjoyed all your vids. I particularly like those kind of philosophical topics about life in general, so carry on! :)
Also just wanted to say as one of the more harcore cod players, I love BO2. Love the freedom and the balance to everything. And how much more difficult it is (with the scorestreaks and whatnot). I also love how you have to make real decisions and not just pick one the perks that are just infinitely better than the other ones (like mw2 stopping power and such)
Personally, having come to BO2 as my first COD game after playing Tribes and TF2, it feels fast and easy and crazy. It seems beyond belief that this is the most "competitively viable" of the recent series. That said, I really like your videos where you get into more topics than just In Depth, although I like those a lot as well. Carry on, please.
I really like those commentaries (the one on consumerism too), they actually make people think about themselve and the world they are evolving in. At the same time, we can watch a badass gameplay! Thanks
I love these wisdom commentaries, they make me think about stuff I wouldn't have thought about if they weren't there. Who the hell needs a church if they have Drift0r =)
Before I wanted to have a girlfriend (laugh all you want, I don't care) because couples look happy together and so wanted myself to be. But then I realized that a robot boyfriend like me isnt suitable I realised it would have more bad things than good things and it wasn't a very reasonable choice
Be careful what you wish for cause u just might get it. And if you get it then u just might not know what to do with it cause it might come back on you tenfold.
I gotta agree with you on the added hardcore elements to the game. On MW3 and, to a lesser extent BO1, I was almost always topping the leader boards. Now my K/D is usually something like .50.
You brought up some good points, I can relate to them with the situation in my own personal life which is going to college or the military. Personally i just don't want to rush into something thinking ill like it and after thinking "wtf did i get myself into?" but great commentary man, keep up the awesome vids!
My biggest wish would probably be that everyone just accepts each other and that people could see past their instant judgement and learn to judge on peoples personalities, because realisticly that is what makes us who we are, not material items etc.
You always have great vids man..appreciate all the info you give and I wouldn't mind seeing more videos like this where you just play and talk about random stuff
Love the commentary. Definitely feel like your speaking the truth. Can't say I've had much experience with the financial stuff (I've always been solidly in middle class), but as far as the intelligence/feeling smarter thing goes. Sounds like going to college. Slept through high school and aced most things. Then got into one of the bigger/more difficult engineering schools and now I'm dead average. But thats not all a bad thing (definitely a better work ethic now. Because I have to have one haha)
The gun balance is perfect, most of the maps are more suited to SMGs than ARs which is why they seem overpowered, and like you say you can no longer win gunfights up close with ARs either vs an SMG user (which is how it should be). Apart from a few dodgy spawns and the connection issues the game is awesome imo.
Wow, this was a really good video. The real life aspect was awesome and mature and the game aspect couldn't be more correct. I am SO tired of people bitching about every little perk, attachment and gun and this video confirms I'm not the only person who thinks the game is great. While good guns and attachments certainly do help, the game comes down to who is better in the end. Everyone likes to blame dieing on guns, attachments and lag, when in the end, they might just have been out-played.
By the way Drift0r, you can boost the Hellstorm Missile just like the Predator and also burst it into little missiles as you do. You can do both in one go. I've seen you not boost it like 3 times, just thought you'd want to know! :D
Great video drift0r! Haha I'm just like you in your first situation... I know how you feel. I do admit that having the wildcards cost a point for an extra attachment/perk is sort of annoying but it didn't really bother me when I went for the camo challenges like get 150 kills w/o any perks or attachments for my PDW.
that's absolutely ridiculous, Campers are extremely easy to deal with you can either A. Avoid the area he/she is camping or B. have an anti camper class set up and use it when needed. Camping can not be removed from a FPS, its a strategy whether you like it or not.
Thanks for the commenary, me i personally see subscribed to you for these talks i find them very imformitive. Probably my biggest wish for real life is that people would not hate on each other for being "casual" or too dumb. If they do something like give away life savings, of cource you can talk crap about them, but just for getting 60 ish percent in a test, no reason there. I had a hard time in primary because everyone hated me for being a "casual" Gamer
0:42 Ive just watched a few of your in depth videos. Youve claimed the same thing for just about every gun with silencer. "the range is so short anyway the silencer wouldnt hurt it". Or "the range on it is so long that the silencer isnt going to hurt it". So you like the silncer and highly recommend it I'm guessing.
FAL with the select fire attachment. It turns it into a full-auto 2 shot kill gun. If you go against up anybody with the same skill level, you win every time because the time to kill is just sooo fast.
The M8A1 or Type 25, Honestly, those are the 2 i use and have the best Experience with, it just all depend's on the match's you play, like me i play KK(Kill Confirmed) and TDM, Sometimes SND but yeah, just unlock all the AR's and Go into a Private match by yourself and just see which one you get the best feel for
it should have a setting, like how you can do Headshots only, it should have a Quickscoping setting, automatically off in public stuff, but for privates, and in a certain playlist it can be, or is, set to on.
For those complaining about sniping, it is harder but still doable unlike Black Ops 1. They are trying to find a middle ground and maybe this isn't it but it is a lot closer than any of IW games were.
the thought freedom is nice but if u want true freedom then standing out and liking to stand out is the 1st step i hav few friends but they are true friends. i hav a solitary life at school. study, game and enjoy the parts of life to enjoy. just try not to end up too isolated from groups, it never really does much good
In mw2 I saw mostly people using stopping power and danger close. They need to do that again but different. They need to bring back ghost/assassin and make sure it's in the same perk tier as a differ perk that people would want to use.
Drift0r, how did it take you 45 minutes to make the Yin-Yang? It took me like 5 to make the exact same one =P. Big white circle for one layer, blue semi-circle, one blue and one white circle half the diameter of the first one and another set of even smaller blue and white circles!
Holy shit Drift0r, I swear that most of the events in your life that you have mentioned in your videos have happened to me in the exact way or in a similar way.
I don't know, I mean I'm not exactly a casual gamer but I'm really having fun with Cod Blops Deuce. I like the new pick ten system. I like most of the maps (and admittedly they all are good if you play them in the right gametype. Hijacked is good on FFA but not kill conf.) I like all the weapons. theres a lot more useful choices for attachments, secondaries, and tac grenades. theyve done their best to have both casual and competitive play. It's a fun game, even if its occasionally frustrating
I really like how balanced this game is. My only complaint is the campers with there shock charges and bouncing betties, but there's engineer for them.
Drif0r, do you play on pc ever?? I would like to know whats your opinion about hacking in black ops 2 and about it`s counter measures like VAC 2?? To me it seems that hackers seem to be roaming free in every cod game, eventually. And at the same time "small" games like Battlefield P4F, uses punkbuster, which is old as fuck, but offers even better protection to hackers than VAC, but that`s just my opinion...
@Drift0r you said play using claw with the controller. Is that a real way to hold it? i thought i was a minority in holding it like that but since i play like that i can drop shot and knife really easy.
Hey I just subscribed to you and I just wanted to say that I was that kid u were talking to last night at around 7 ([xFLY]Baron77) and I just wanted to say great job!
I kinda wish Driftor made these type of videos again
hiimacrazyguy He does.
Someone special to me once told me "If you don't actively pursuit your own happiness, you cannot call yourself smart". As a student with good grades and poor social life, this struck close to home.
I thought this game just nailed everything.

That was a huge sentence.
+NelyL lmao
If I'm playing with friends, I expect them to kill enemies or call them out. A few will sneak by but in general it's not a problem. If I'm playing with randoms, like in this game, I rely on the radar and use them as bait. I know enemies are nearby when my teammates start dying.
Drift0r, thank you for everything you have done and especially in explaining your life stories and tips. You are one of my majorly inspirations and you make my day. This is more of a thank you for what you do and I bet almost everybody else can agree with me on that. You rock Drift0r.

Agreed.
I do I love sniping in all 1personshotterngames the first game I started playing online on PC is halo the mw2 mw3 mw4 cod waw codblack ops 1 it was my favorite but bo2 take over bo1 I love bo2 and all cods
Agreed x2
i can totally agree with the first "Be careful what you wish for" irl. i was also in the advanced classes, plus i was a lighter skin tone then everyone else, so i got pushed around a lot. It totally sucks man and I can totally relate.
2018, and this video is even more relevant now, as it pertains to CoD, than it was when it was originally released.
This is so much more relevant now with Ghosts being out. People wanted "bigger maps," "more perks," etc. I personally thought this game nailed everything (except hit detection) on the head.
wReckLesss The hit detection on ghosts was amazing, second to only IW
At the risk of sounding like a snob, this is the first commentary that I actually finished in a long while. The topic was pretty interesting and handled from a mature perspective.

"I was sort of odd man out because my parents were rich"
Did you go to South Park Elementary school? Lol
It astounds me that, in my experience, in America it's "cool" to be the one who doesn't do to well in school and the one who just doesn't care.

Thanks for the hard work and effort you put into your commentaries, they're therapeutic and I enjoy that about them. Keep up the excellent work!
Drift0r, I love these intro/retrospective commentaries, Please keep them coming, you're very interesting to listen to
Drift0r your videos are quite enjoyable and provide good knowledge about the CoD games I love so much. BO2 is the culmination of CoD and when it actually works for me (I get screwed by lag a lot), it is my favorite in the series. Keep on making videos and I will keep on watching.

Your topics are so original i never thought i could think about the meaning of life and stuff like that while playing COD you are awesome I wish you a lot of success!!!
After all the in Depth stuff it's nice to see you using a normal class, just having fun. Good commentary as usual. Left a like, keep it up!
love the "real life" commentaries and mature topics. i mean there are tonns of commentaries whining about shit and its great to hear some interesting stories/ lessons like some of your older vids (ghost stories, epic dream, relegion shit...) Love it bro!!
love your normal commentaries where you tell a story or explain your reactions or feelings. :)
I love how professional Drift0r is. He says what he's doing, what he's using, and what the topic of the video is all in the first 30 seconds of the video or less!
Hello from France Driftors! I've been following you for quite a long period of time and I enjoyed all your vids. I particularly like those kind of philosophical topics about life in general, so carry on! :)
5 years later I’m still here
I subscribed after the commentary on how you grew up. Very interesting. You never get to know the guy behind the game play. thanks for sharing!
I love how he complains about quick scoping and then immediately talks about how he drop shots
Also just wanted to say as one of the more harcore cod players, I love BO2. Love the freedom and the balance to everything. And how much more difficult it is (with the scorestreaks and whatnot). I also love how you have to make real decisions and not just pick one the perks that are just infinitely better than the other ones (like mw2 stopping power and such)
Cod community messes up every cod game
Mw3 is the only one I play since it is the only one that suits me.
The others are fun but I wouldn't play them everyday.
Personally, having come to BO2 as my first COD game after playing Tribes and TF2, it feels fast and easy and crazy. It seems beyond belief that this is the most "competitively viable" of the recent series.
That said, I really like your videos where you get into more topics than just In Depth, although I like those a lot as well. Carry on, please.
These are my favourite kind of commentaries from you, really great. :)
I liked this commentary more than most i watch, the gameplay was good and the commentary was interesting you should do more like this!
I really like those commentaries (the one on consumerism too), they actually make people think about themselve and the world they are evolving in. At the same time, we can watch a badass gameplay!
Thanks
"Cause I am the greatest and the best"
-Drift0r
drift0rs got to be my favourite commentator, i love the tooics he covers< keep up the good work
I love these wisdom commentaries, they make me think about stuff I wouldn't have thought about if they weren't there. Who the hell needs a church if they have Drift0r =)
I always really enjoy your videos where you are speaking about your life, good work and keep it up!
You are so smart Drift0r. I like listening to the points you make in all your videos
Before I wanted to have a girlfriend (laugh all you want, I don't care) because couples look happy together and so wanted myself to be.
But then I realized that a robot boyfriend like me isnt suitable
I realised it would have more bad things than good things and it wasn't a very reasonable choice
Great video Drft0r, the balance in Black Ops 2 is perfect and its the best online COD in my opinion.
Be careful what you wish for cause u just might get it. And if you get it then u just might not know what to do with it cause it might come back on you tenfold.
I gotta agree with you on the added hardcore elements to the game. On MW3 and, to a lesser extent BO1, I was almost always topping the leader boards. Now my K/D is usually something like .50.

Personally i just don't want to rush into something thinking ill like it and after thinking "wtf did i get myself into?" but great commentary man, keep up the awesome vids!
My father would remind me once in a while that our family is wealthy and in excellent shape and I should be appreciative about it.
Made me smile when I saw a new video from Drift0r. Made me grin when I saw by the title, that it would be a deep one once again :))
Drift0r, you rock, love your videos and you, you're awesome. I may not have been watching from the start but...
number 1 fan out
This is exactly what I like to see and hear in commentaries
You really made me appreciate my blessings a whole lot more with this commentary, thanks so much. Subbed.
My biggest wish would probably be that everyone just accepts each other and that people could see past their instant judgement and learn to judge on peoples personalities, because realisticly that is what makes us who we are, not material items etc.
I love you in-depth but I love these type of videos from you even more! :D

@MrJeffie69 In my opinion, if you care, it's the 4-burst AR with the grip and select-fire. It has minimal to no recoil and ridiculously high damage :)
Always look forward to your commentaries!!
Awesome gameplay and commentary as usual Driftor!
Great video drift0r! Haha I'm just like you in your first situation... I know how you feel. I do admit that having the wildcards cost a point for an extra attachment/perk is sort of annoying but it didn't really bother me when I went for the camo challenges like get 150 kills w/o any perks or attachments for my PDW.
do more videos like this, gained a lot more respect and appreciation for u after watching this
Will you ever do another live stream for this again??
I really liked the video drift0r. It was an interesting topic and some good gameplay. keep up the awesome vids
Driftor, have you thought about making more killstreak tip videos? (specifically the hellstorm missle)
I like his commentaries as well.
that's absolutely ridiculous, Campers are extremely easy to deal with you can either A. Avoid the area he/she is camping or B. have an anti camper class set up and use it when needed. Camping can not be removed from a FPS, its a strategy whether you like it or not.
im casual. but i love it when i play, great commentary driftor. stand up for the little guy!
Thanks for the commenary, me i personally see subscribed to you for these talks i find them very imformitive.

good commentary Brad Overbay, good commentary. Keep up the great work Mr. Overbay

Or "the range on it is so long that the silencer isnt going to hurt it". So you like the silncer and highly recommend it I'm guessing.
This has been the best cod ive played.
In half an hour it is, it takes some time to render 720p. Always happens when you're early at a video.
Drift0r will you do zombie in depth again?
i would be looking forward to it
FAL with the select fire attachment. It turns it into a full-auto 2 shot kill gun. If you go against up anybody with the same skill level, you win every time because the time to kill is just sooo fast.
I did and so did my friend, just disproved your statement. And on my first game I done considerably well.
love these commentaries
keepit up driftor
I love theese comentaries, you're so damn smart man! Keep up the great work!
The M8A1 or Type 25, Honestly, those are the 2 i use and have the best Experience with, it just all depend's on the match's you play, like me i play KK(Kill Confirmed) and TDM, Sometimes SND but yeah, just unlock all the AR's and Go into a Private match by yourself and just see which one you get the best feel for

Drift0r, you going to put up some more Halo 4 gameplay soon?
I love how you do more than tips and trick videos. One thing I don't really like about TmarTn is that's ALL he does, zero variety.
the thought freedom is nice but if u want true freedom then standing out and liking to stand out is the 1st step
i hav few friends but they are true friends. i hav a solitary life at school. study, game and enjoy the parts of life to enjoy. just try not to end up too isolated from groups, it never really does much good
Nice vid Drift0r! I really like these vids about Real life, could you make more of these?
Ha! closed captions at 0:47 is funy " Assumption genzyme missiles are really doesn't hurt too much also running" LOL
In mw2 I saw mostly people using stopping power and danger close. They need to do that again but different. They need to bring back ghost/assassin and make sure it's in the same perk tier as a differ perk that people would want to use.
I really liked that driftor, u should really do more stuff like this
Drift0r, how did it take you 45 minutes to make the Yin-Yang? It took me like 5 to make the exact same one =P. Big white circle for one layer, blue semi-circle, one blue and one white circle half the diameter of the first one and another set of even smaller blue and white circles!
Holy shit Drift0r, I swear that most of the events in your life that you have mentioned in your videos have happened to me in the exact way or in a similar way.
I don't know, I mean I'm not exactly a casual gamer but I'm really having fun with Cod Blops Deuce. I like the new pick ten system. I like most of the maps (and admittedly they all are good if you play them in the right gametype. Hijacked is good on FFA but not kill conf.) I like all the weapons. theres a lot more useful choices for attachments, secondaries, and tac grenades. theyve done their best to have both casual and competitive play. It's a fun game, even if its occasionally frustrating
i wish for drit0r to have 1 million subs it's only a matter of time
I really like how balanced this game is. My only complaint is the campers with there shock charges and bouncing betties, but there's engineer for them.
Driftor did you know that you could boost in a hellstorm? I never knew that till like a week ago. All you do is hit left trigger
Drif0r, do you play on pc ever?? I would like to know whats your opinion about hacking in black ops 2 and about it`s counter measures like VAC 2?? To me it seems that hackers seem to be roaming free in every cod game, eventually. And at the same time "small" games like Battlefield P4F, uses punkbuster, which is old as fuck, but offers even better protection to hackers than VAC, but that`s just my opinion...
@Drift0r you said play using claw with the controller. Is that a real way to hold it? i thought i was a minority in holding it like that but since i play like that i can drop shot and knife really easy.
got wat u wanted but lost wat u had
do you think i should take my contoller off tactical because it seems useless now?
this deserves AT LEAST 50000 thumbs up
Hey I just subscribed to you and I just wanted to say that I was that kid u were talking to last night at around 7 ([xFLY]Baron77) and I just wanted to say great job!
Good tip Drift0r, you don't have to switch to your knife to equip a secondary weapon from the ground
Drift0r you can give the hellstorm missle a boost if you press LT
Drift0r, you do know that you can boost the Hellstorm before you scatter it by using LT.
Probably the semi-auto with the select fire attachment to make them full auto: high damage + low recoil = cake :)
