i dont want to imagine it because its just depressing, also i dont like how video games have technically stagnated- i hate how MAG was the last console fps that tried to do full scale battle simulation with 256 players and that was a decade ago with only planetside trying to push the tech and is almost equally as old.
@@E5150. ya I’ve noticed sandstorm has actually had more problems through the updates. It’s sad and the modding scene is shit everything is so sad and depressing nowadays ;(
I had hoped they would build on last years campaign which was really enjoyable, sadly they didn't and the end result is a mess, garbage Ai, inept companions and apart from the odd good mission the rest are COD on rails. It's time to ditch auto heal, companions and stupid in mission cutscenes, teleporting vehicles and slow motion. Bring back the great coop missions, health packs and actually try and make the Ai better.
Regarding ozon layer: We actually took a global effort (and beliefe it or not, all countries joined it) and banned FCKW to make the Ozon "hole" go away. Just a little heads up.
Me since modern warfare 2. Owned black ops 2 and 3 too. Hated that every game made u buy terminal again and again, and some didn't have older maps. But man do the remaster mw2 and last year mw2019 look good. Might buy both. But mw2 remaster doesn't seem to haveb4 player split screen local like before. Like farcry 3 doesn't have local multi-player missions. What half assed remasters are these man?

Not really commented on your videos, I don't really comment on youtube at all, I'm an old English git like yourself and just like to say thanks for the good work, been a subscriber for years now really and reckon we would get on well down the pub nursing a pint or two, we seem to hold the same views, would love to patreon and play some games with you but alas I am a merely working class drone with kids so cant afford it, just wanted to say please keep up the good work, you are literally one of only 4 channels I subscribe to, I often watch some of your back catalogue just to try and get you some ad revenue :D
And FIFA then they have the audacity to call themselves gamers: How about we try the witcher: no Titanfall, that's a shooter: no shit Well how about GTA or RDR: boring Well let's do a Co op like Minecraft or the forest, maybe a car racing game or how about a similar fps game?: no, fucking stupid. Have you played any other game other than this? Yeah assassins creed, OK which one?: dunno got bored. Let's play stabby-stabby with this knife, I'll go first :/
@@thumbdeadred I'm glad you tried to gatekeep others then tried to use the most generic reddit bait games as what they should play. Sounds like you're the fake gamer.
@@JustSkram because generic makes the best examples and are easily recognised. Not gate keeping, gate keeping would be saying its not OK to just play those games. It isn't gate-keeping however to claim, that if you only play one type of game then you aren't a gamer as a gamer plays multitudes of games and a large understanding of different games even ones they have never played or if they play a favourite game more than others I.e you can still play a ton of CoD and play other games and be open to try out other games. Your not a book fanatic if all you have read is one book or series. They are lovers of that franchise not games which ultimately makes a gamer. Just like going to the gym every day and sparring makes you a boxer not watching it on TV. Also the only one doing the sad reddit thing here, is you.
The further away we get from the 80's and the number of dev's that weren't even born then increases, the less games are able to capture the "80's feel" correctly. They take the cliches and hammer them to death. It wasn't like that for the most part, at all. I imagine my grandfather would have felt the same way about WW2 games while I was claiming how realistic they were. I get it now.
"Is it worth a buy? No it's not." "You spoiled it" No you didn't, everyone knew it was coming. Also, on that note, I know CoD is probably one of your 'big ticket' reviews, big long running AAA series, of course it will get all the clicks, but to be fair, if you stopped reviewing CoD, I don't think anyone would really mind, at this point I'd sooner expect a cow to literally change its spots before CoD changes anything.
Someone said in the comment section of the original game trailer, that the music playing at the start through the soldiers earphones was released in the 1990s. Meaning that someone has programmed that song into this multimillion dollar game, and not realised it was in the wrong decade
I actually remember when I was in elementary school in the 80's and we had to watch the movie "the day after", then we ran Nuke drills. Man I miss the eighties
80s still a bit regressive. 90s was the best for decency and integrity: genders and races getting along without putting each other down, no social media trolls, gaming and internet still new and exciting... last of an era
@@ravensthorne4631 WTF are you going on about decency? The 90's had one of the deepest recessions the UK has seen. The music was meh apart from a few Manchester pill head's. Some of the best films and music came out of the 80s. The gaming industry really started in the 80s also. Who gives a flying fucking what a tech giant decides to tell you what's best! I Never lived in the other 6 decades of the 20th century so I couldn't say about those. I bet the people offering there options didn't either! How old are you? I'd take the cold war and lead petrol anyday. Especially over today's woke shite champagne socialists.
maybe the right hand coming from too low, like from the belly? amybe it's just a little to stiff? I see what you mean but I also have trobule pointing it out
Hey Mack, you were wondering about the hole in the ozone layer. Well it didn't just go away, but the problem was finally acknowledged by the relevant industries which up to this point had waved it off as "anti-capitalist" propaganda. They then stopped using the harmful gases in their products, which turned out to be way easier than expected, whereupon the ozone layer was allowed to slowly begin healing itself. It's still there but it's shrinking. So it's actually one of the few success storys we have and it's a pity no one talks about it anymore but that's media for you, never covering the positives.
@3:40 That's not the AI being terrible, it's just a really good/realistic representation of the level of training that the average Soviet conscript received.
My clan all bought this... some paying 80 quid....but I held off...and now I laugh. And laugh...and laugh. Thank you so much mate. You've saved me 50 quid. I avoid flagship titles these days usually until the patches finish the game build. That's the state of many games they are released in Beta as a finished game.
Ohhh....is that time again Call of Shite where a new coat of paint and being held by the ⚾⚾ is the norm....oh and nostalgia so give me $$$$$$ Give it to me Mac.... P.S Feel better....and more health.
"The 80s when everybody got on and respected each other" *THE IRA has entered the chat* *Soviet Russia have just invaded Afghanistan* *Thatcher Thatcher the milk snatcher has just entered the chat* Ah yes, the good old days! lol, I'm downloading it now, apparently the zombies is quite good this year so I'm looking forward to that. Either way it will be a big change from Squad which i've been hammering recently!
I love playing cod campaigns but every year I look at the reviews and sigh to myself knowing i will need to wait to get a copy for 20 to 30 quid on ebay because there's no way I can justify the price tag.
The ozone layer issue was mostly related to chemicals in aerosols and such, with sweeping worldwide regulations the hole has shrunk considerably since the 90s when it was biggest.
@@TrueCarthaginian you sound like a nice, well adjusted person. Calling someone you don't know stupid. I can't wait to hear your rationed, reasoned arguments.
Mack my good man, by any chance did you try out Ghostrunner? I absolutely loved it, and it's a fantastic PC port as well. It's basically "What if Titanfall 2 had a more hardcore single-player campaign" lol. With so many games handholding with shallow mechanics, it's nice to have a real challenge. The game's only like four hours long though so super short, biggest complaint people have with it.
Games are so piss easy these days and hardly you hear a "game journalist" talk about this. It's all "wow the game is so beautiful and you can do things and you have skill trees and you can level up and and and woooaaahhhh!!!!". All to satisfy the casual gamer who cant face a single challenge. Bye
@Benjamin McCann I don't play them. I used to play CoD before, same as Battlefield, Far Cry and such. Imagine your favorite artist slowly starts using autotune and dye their hair pink. You would be pissed too. Ah well, it is what it is...
I found the campaign quite enjoyable even though I feel like another ending could of been better. I feel that sure some parts can get dull but every cod has that, I found the spy areas a great twist to the standard gameplay and the twist at the end to be great.
lol i already knew what the verdict was 6 seconds in and to be honest I wasn't surprised but I continued watching because you are a funny guy Mack. BTW this is Spontaneous_Bootang on Twitch with the endless stream of one liners ;)
I've had 3 different bugs where I go through the wall and get stuck. Also there was one glitch in the nam mission where you're not supposed to finish the firefight where I killed everyone and was just stuck there
I have modern warfare and still love it, has the feel of the old cods I used to love as a kid. All my friends who I play with hopped straight onto cold war when it came out and then I was expected to do the same just to play with them. Well, I told them where to go and laughed at them for pissing their money away when they could have just kept playing MW which was already great. I noticed time and time again my friends tell me to get the newest game so we can all play it together but then three or four weeks later they've already grown tired of it and moved on to the next thing... Needless to say I choose my games very wisely and you Mack are always my go to for an unbiased review and some comedy value as well. Thanks Mate, Sean
Love how you fight yourself lol, stopping yourself from talking about "bad stuff". Makes me laugh! I agree on CoD should go back to its roots. I wouldnt mind another ww2 game either if it was done right. Or gameplay/difficulty similar to the old ghost recon games.
The minute a game "requires" an always online connection just to play a single player mode you've instantly lost my sale. Being penalized because your internet happens to be down that day is a totally BS move on their part.

Did you go look at the score?
@@robertdunlop5247 I am talking about the mp, the servers are shit and that is proven.
Apparently the hole in the ozone layer is 'repairing' and everything is OK!

Not really commented on your videos, I don't really comment on youtube at all, I'm an old English git like yourself and just like to say thanks for the good work, been a subscriber for years now really and reckon we would get on well down the pub nursing a pint or two, we seem to hold the same views, would love to patreon and play some games with you but alas I am a merely working class drone with kids so cant afford it, just wanted to say please keep up the good work, you are literally one of only 4 channels I subscribe to, I often watch some of your back catalogue just to try and get you some ad revenue :D
Simp.
I love Mack's humor, shaken not stirred!
Placing nukes inside cities for defense. Best strat ever, 10/10.
Never had any intention of getting this game, but knew this review would be worth a watch. Wasn't disappointed. Proper funny
Ah yes, the 80's, "when people respected eachother". XD
And the CIA "wasn't corrupt" lmao!
@@Abhishek-fe3zs no shit
This channel really is a diamond in the rough. Deserves way more subscribers!
Haven't bought a COD game since Modern Warfare 3. I see no reason to come back.
Damn 2011... oof my favorite cod is WaW from 2008
COD 2 is my all time favorite.
@@Shadowx011 damn that’s like 2005 bruh😂I was 4😂
@@Shadowx011 COD 2 was the shit!
@@khodges72 cod 2 was a chad game
It baffles me how many ppl I know that just blindly buy CoD every year and refuse to try anything else
And FIFA then they have the audacity to call themselves gamers:
How about we try the witcher: no
Titanfall, that's a shooter: no shit
Well how about GTA or RDR: boring
Well let's do a Co op like Minecraft or the forest, maybe a car racing game or how about a similar fps game?: no, fucking stupid.
Have you played any other game other than this? Yeah assassins creed, OK which one?: dunno got bored.
Let's play stabby-stabby with this knife, I'll go first :/
@@thumbdeadred all of my friends are like this. Here I am playing destiny 2 on my lonesome 😂 or deep rock galactic/gunfire reborn
@@thumbdeadred I'm glad you tried to gatekeep others then tried to use the most generic reddit bait games as what they should play. Sounds like you're the fake gamer.
@@JustSkram because generic makes the best examples and are easily recognised.
Not gate keeping, gate keeping would be saying its not OK to just play those games.
It isn't gate-keeping however to claim, that if you only play one type of game then you aren't a gamer as a gamer plays multitudes of games and a large understanding of different games even ones they have never played or if they play a favourite game more than others I.e you can still play a ton of CoD and play other games and be open to try out other games.
Your not a book fanatic if all you have read is one book or series.
They are lovers of that franchise not games which ultimately makes a gamer.
Just like going to the gym every day and sparring makes you a boxer not watching it on TV.
Also the only one doing the sad reddit thing here, is you.
The further away we get from the 80's and the number of dev's that weren't even born then increases, the less games are able to capture the "80's feel" correctly. They take the cliches and hammer them to death. It wasn't like that for the most part, at all. I imagine my grandfather would have felt the same way about WW2 games while I was claiming how realistic they were. I get it now.
"Is it worth a buy? No it's not."
"You spoiled it"
No you didn't, everyone knew it was coming. Also, on that note, I know CoD is probably one of your 'big ticket' reviews, big long running AAA series, of course it will get all the clicks, but to be fair, if you stopped reviewing CoD, I don't think anyone would really mind, at this point I'd sooner expect a cow to literally change its spots before CoD changes anything.
Secretly planting nukes in cities.... isn't that the story to the second Red movie?
Someone said in the comment section of the original game trailer, that the music playing at the start through the soldiers earphones was released in the 1990s. Meaning that someone has programmed that song into this multimillion dollar game, and not realised it was in the wrong decade
I love how cynical, sarcastic, ironic but still blatantly honest your reviews are. Keep up the good work and I hope your health gets better :)
I actually remember when I was in elementary school in the 80's and we had to watch the movie "the day after", then we ran Nuke drills. Man I miss the eighties
Thanks now I know what the cold war was really about. My high school teacher lied to me!
wtf? dude this might be the best campaign in the series. it’s fucking brilliant.
Looking forward to next years COD review, ding ding ding.
I'm with you Mack. The 80s was an awesome decade. I miss the 80s so much.
80s still a bit regressive. 90s was the best for decency and integrity: genders and races getting along without putting each other down, no social media trolls, gaming and internet still new and exciting... last of an era
@@ravensthorne4631 90's were a bit shit TBH compared to the 80's IMO.
What's hard to believe is that some of today's kids will grow up thinking *these* years were good!
It's not just my opinion. Google 'best decade of 20th century' and the 1990s comes out on top in most cases.
@@ravensthorne4631 WTF are you going on about decency?
The 90's had one of the deepest recessions the UK has seen.
The music was meh apart from a few Manchester pill head's.
Some of the best films and music came out of the 80s. The gaming industry really started in the 80s also.
Who gives a flying fucking what a tech giant decides to tell you what's best!
I Never lived in the other 6 decades of the 20th century so I couldn't say about those. I bet the people offering there options didn't either!
How old are you?
I'd take the cold war and lead petrol anyday. Especially over today's woke shite champagne socialists.
4:07, something about that weapon switch animation just doesn't look right, going through it frame by frame looks fine but at full speed it looks crap
maybe the right hand coming from too low, like from the belly? amybe it's just a little to stiff? I see what you mean but I also have trobule pointing it out
Looks fine, wtf are you talking about
Hey Mack, you were wondering about the hole in the ozone layer. Well it didn't just go away, but the problem was finally acknowledged by the relevant industries which up to this point had waved it off as "anti-capitalist" propaganda. They then stopped using the harmful gases in their products, which turned out to be way easier than expected, whereupon the ozone layer was allowed to slowly begin healing itself. It's still there but it's shrinking.
So it's actually one of the few success storys we have and it's a pity no one talks about it anymore but that's media for you, never covering the positives.
@3:40 That's not the AI being terrible, it's just a really good/realistic representation of the level of training that the average Soviet conscript received.
"6,574 DLCs."
You sure it isn't 6,575?
already done with the review? holy shit, mack, that was fast!
Mac explaining friendly fire to his commanding officer...”he fucking commutited suicide by running into my grenade!?!” 😂
My history teacher gives a very different account of the cold war. School is all propaganda these days.
Mack is just wrong
My clan all bought this... some paying 80 quid....but I held off...and now I laugh. And laugh...and laugh. Thank you so much mate. You've saved me 50 quid.
I avoid flagship titles these days usually until the patches finish the game build. That's the state of many games they are released in Beta as a finished game.
Ohhh....is that time again Call of Shite where a new coat of paint and being held by the ⚾⚾ is the norm....oh and nostalgia so give me $$$$$$
Give it to me Mac....
P.S Feel better....and more health.
I remember when Treyarch made World at War. What the hell happened.
Oh yeah Activision.
"If its not broken don't fix it"
Except, it is broken, and it needs fixing (hackers)
Mack is my go to guy these days
"The 80s when everybody got on and respected each other"
*THE IRA has entered the chat*
*Soviet Russia have just invaded Afghanistan*
*Thatcher Thatcher the milk snatcher has just entered the chat*
Ah yes, the good old days! lol, I'm downloading it now, apparently the zombies is quite good this year so I'm looking forward to that. Either way it will be a big change from Squad which i've been hammering recently!
@Benjamin McCann I think it was all a bit of tongue in cheek banter, I’m sure the 80s were much better in lots of ways. Simpler times for sure
@Benjamin McCann Are you American? If you're English, I'm terrified.
get well soon mack great review
5:43 "Ahh the good old days, before they were corrupt guys" [CIA] 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah they were already MKULTRA-ing. CIA was evil since the day they switched from the OSS
Honestly the campain was quite good. To each their own i guess.
Never clicked so quickly, I’ve been looking forward to this!
Hahahaha the description of the cold war was brilliant
I love playing cod campaigns but every year I look at the reviews and sigh to myself knowing i will need to wait to get a copy for 20 to 30 quid on ebay because there's no way I can justify the price tag.
Thank you, for playing it for us Mac! You are a true hero.
The ozone layer issue was mostly related to chemicals in aerosols and such, with sweeping worldwide regulations the hole has shrunk considerably since the 90s when it was biggest.
I hope one day you realize how stupid you are for believing that.
@@TrueCarthaginian Oh? Tell me what really happened.
@@TrueCarthaginian you sound like a nice, well adjusted person. Calling someone you don't know stupid. I can't wait to hear your rationed, reasoned arguments.
The part I liked most was when you take out Zakhayev in the elevator and he simple disappears once you reach the bunker
Google Translate
Mack: Feyes to feyes
English: Face to face
Much love
Not sure how Yanks have the nerve to call English people on pronunciation 🤣 You fucked up our language not the other way around 😉
The first BO was the best for that series. Ty for posting. I take your reviews to heart sir.
The hole in the ozone layer shrank after in 1987 197 states agreed to stop using CFC. There you are.
Facts aren’t good enough for some people mate 🤣 Mack loves his tin foil hat
Nah it was clearly all a left wing conspiracy meant to oppress the straight white males.
Truth is like a bucket, of cold water poured over you in a hot desert.
"More painful than my ****ing shingles" should go on the box :P
That explaination of Cold War was funny.
I wasn't impressed with the last one , people were raving about it...why?
Call of duty died after modern warfare 2
Same, I really miss that game and those great spec ops missions😒
Literally one mission. One mission in MW2019 got people raving over the campaign. And the rest of the campaign was just as generic as the other games.
@@gummibear696 The house clearance mission Zzzzzzzz swat 2 and 3 are better for that kind of thing.
All the maps are supposed to be free in the future so it’s got that going for it
Mack my good man, by any chance did you try out Ghostrunner? I absolutely loved it, and it's a fantastic PC port as well. It's basically "What if Titanfall 2 had a more hardcore single-player campaign" lol. With so many games handholding with shallow mechanics, it's nice to have a real challenge. The game's only like four hours long though so super short, biggest complaint people have with it.
4 seconds to get to the point of the video....this man is a professional 🙏🏽✌🏽👊🏽
Games are so piss easy these days and hardly you hear a "game journalist" talk about this. It's all "wow the game is so beautiful and you can do things and you have skill trees and you can level up and and and woooaaahhhh!!!!". All to satisfy the casual gamer who cant face a single challenge. Bye
@Benjamin McCann I don't play them. I used to play CoD before, same as Battlefield, Far Cry and such. Imagine your favorite artist slowly starts using autotune and dye their hair pink. You would be pissed too. Ah well, it is what it is...
Hades, spelunky 2, hollow knight....dark souls, sakiro.
Speaking of betraying anerica.."mac dont you fuking dare"
I love you XD
I literally just brought this for the Series X. It was this or Valhalla, so not much competition...
@@phoenixzappa7366 I'd rather play on a console than play this
Edit: Ok sorry I take that back, the game isn't that bad
your first mistake was choosing xbox
There is nothing Wrong with Xbox it is great System both the Xbox and the PlayStation are great systems people like you are just Awful
I'd rather play Valhalla than this.
you bought it for multiplayer so you're good.
I don't use WASD! Rebind for WAB
I'm still playing Hidden and Dangerous 2...they can keep this c. rap for themselves, I wonder if the developers even play their own games...
Forget the hole in the ozone layer Mack, you're not supposed to be thinking
In the USA it is known to be referred to as "The Cold War" because no one ever fired anything. It never got hot (Heat from fighting).
Wow. I think he knows that
Nah it was called the cold war because the USA was frozen with fear of getting into a conflict with an enemy that could fight back.
Really glad you clarified that.
they didnt get enough HEAT to get REP which they needed to get BANK
@@yee3135
Lol
Good Review Mack glad to hear your backish.
I found the campaign quite enjoyable even though I feel like another ending could of been better. I feel that sure some parts can get dull but every cod has that, I found the spy areas a great twist to the standard gameplay and the twist at the end to be great.
Yeah the hole in the ozone layer went away as the gasses causing it were banned. **bell**
lol i already knew what the verdict was 6 seconds in and to be honest I wasn't surprised but I continued watching because you are a funny guy Mack. BTW this is Spontaneous_Bootang on Twitch with the endless stream of one liners ;)
I've had 3 different bugs where I go through the wall and get stuck. Also there was one glitch in the nam mission where you're not supposed to finish the firefight where I killed everyone and was just stuck there
Outer WILDS (not worlds, that game was also shite) is my game of the decade, because it's trying to innovate and retain a focus!
Even though i dont have any intrest in Cod, i still love the reviews you do about that "franchise". Thanks for that.
"campaign review"
I have modern warfare and still love it, has the feel of the old cods I used to love as a kid. All my friends who I play with hopped straight onto cold war when it came out and then I was expected to do the same just to play with them. Well, I told them where to go and laughed at them for pissing their money away when they could have just kept playing MW which was already great.
I noticed time and time again my friends tell me to get the newest game so we can all play it together but then three or four weeks later they've already grown tired of it and moved on to the next thing... Needless to say I choose my games very wisely and you Mack are always my go to for an unbiased review and some comedy value as well.
Thanks Mate,
Sean
Love how you fight yourself lol, stopping yourself from talking about "bad stuff". Makes me laugh!
I agree on CoD should go back to its roots. I wouldnt mind another ww2 game either if it was done right. Or gameplay/difficulty similar to the old ghost recon games.
"Take me back. Get a grip honk." Slaps himself🤣 love this guy. Long live Mac
havent watched but I already know the outcome HAHHA
The minute a game "requires" an always online connection just to play a single player mode you've instantly lost my sale. Being penalized because your internet happens to be down that day is a totally BS move on their part.
But you don’t need internet to play single player?
@@shart__ You do if you're playing on PC
"no its not" 😂
Before the CIA was corrupt. Operation Northwoods intensifies
Wow I can’t believe they made a war based on this boring game
The Cold War is if you went through the wardrobe to Narnia but someone had taken the fur coats
