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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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!!
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!!!
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
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!
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.
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! :)
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 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
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.
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
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!
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.
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)
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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!
Driftor do you maybe have a solution for my question: Why does every commentator (probably playing on consoles) say that the game is balanced good whereas on Pc smgs are really HUUUGE ofverpowered? Hipfire up to ~15m is still better than aiming, on mid range still better than assault rifles cause they got lower recoil (especially when headglitching) and almost no distances actually existing where assault rifles are better than smgs.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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
When you play domination and are guarding a flag or area do you watch for enemies on the HUD? If so do you trust other players (not friends) in a nearby area(s) to take out all enemies or do you not rely on them at all?
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
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. 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.
That was a huge sentence.
+NelyL lmao
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
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
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.
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.
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.

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
Drift0r, I love these intro/retrospective commentaries, Please keep them coming, you're very interesting to listen to
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
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!
love your normal commentaries where you tell a story or explain your reactions or feelings. :)
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!!
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!
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.

"I was sort of odd man out because my parents were rich"
Did you go to South Park Elementary school? Lol
These are my favourite kind of commentaries from you, really great. :)
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! :)
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 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!
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 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
5 years later I’m still here
I always really enjoy your videos where you are speaking about your life, good work and keep it up!
This is exactly what I like to see and hear in commentaries
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
You are so smart Drift0r. I like listening to the points you make in all your videos
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 :))
You really made me appreciate my blessings a whole lot more with this commentary, thanks so much. Subbed.
I love you in-depth but I love these type of videos from you even more! :D
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.

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
Always look forward to your commentaries!!
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!
I love how he complains about quick scoping and then immediately talks about how he drop shots
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.

keepit up driftor
"Cause I am the greatest and the best"
-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
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.
@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 :)
I really liked the video drift0r. It was an interesting topic and some good gameplay. keep up the awesome vids
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 Drft0r, the balance in Black Ops 2 is perfect and its the best online COD in my opinion.
I love theese comentaries, you're so damn smart man! Keep up the great work!
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.
do more videos like this, gained a lot more respect and appreciation for u after watching this
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.
im casual. but i love it when i play, great commentary driftor. stand up for the little guy!
I like his commentaries as well.
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.
good commentary Brad Overbay, good commentary. Keep up the great work Mr. Overbay
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)
Good tip Drift0r, you don't have to switch to your knife to equip a secondary weapon from the ground
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.
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
In half an hour it is, it takes some time to render 720p. Always happens when you're early at a video.
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.
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.
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.
I did and so did my friend, just disproved your statement. And on my first game I done considerably well.
Driftor, have you thought about making more killstreak tip videos? (specifically the hellstorm missle)
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.
This has been the best cod ive played.
I really liked that driftor, u should really do more stuff like this
@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.
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!
as soon as drif0r said he was the smartest guy in his classes i just went out saying I KNEW IT

Same as you. Never prestiged, once or twice a week and i hate the idea of having to move to stay off UAV
Really enjoyed this one drift
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.

Everyone likes to blame dieing on guns, attachments and lag, when in the end, they might just have been out-played.
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
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.
Probably the semi-auto with the select fire attachment to make them full auto: high damage + low recoil = cake :)
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.)

When you play domination and are guarding a flag or area do you watch for enemies on the HUD? If so do you trust other players (not friends) in a nearby area(s) to take out all enemies or do you not rely on them at all?
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
Drift0r will you do zombie in depth again?
i would be looking forward to it
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
You should do a sequel to this explaining more about what things we asked for and now we have it we don't want it. Relating to Black Ops 2
Great video. Really enjoyed the game play and the commentary. :)
i wish for drit0r to have 1 million subs it's only a matter of time
love ur commentaries
this deserves AT LEAST 50000 thumbs up
got wat u wanted but lost wat u had
