Hey friends, with today being the 2 year anniversary of Warzone I decided we do something a bit different, a bit more special here with this one. This is by far the biggest project I think I've ever done on the channel, but it was well worth it to chronical the inception to where we are now. I do hope you enjoy it! This one was a labor of love and goes out to all of you who either stopped by for a bit of news, a loadout, a few tips and tricks, whatever it may be over the last 2 years. I tremendously appreciate the support you've shown in that time, more than you know. While it's normal to look back fondly at where we came from, I'm excited to see what the future holds and what we can do with our community here. Thanks a ton for everything and I'll see you in the next one!
Kudos brother amazing vid!!! MAN I MISS VERDANSK!! I just cant seem to enjoy Calderra. I try and try but just dont enjoy olaying warzone anymore and it breaks my heart…
Sucks to see how hard the game fell off. Such a great game, such great mechanics, and now look, a frustrating sweaty mess that will never be as good as it was
It only went downhill with the Cold War integration. From that point, it was never and will never be the same. The game's performance dropped significantly. Despite upgrading my PC throughout the game's life cycle, im getting consistently less frames than what I was getting in the first seasons. Cold War weapons were ASS (animations, sounds, floatiness of the weapons), and having to grind for them without the multiplayer was and still is frustrating.
@@fpsplayer66 thing is I realize now how spoiled we were back then even in the Cold War integration cause at least we didn’t have to look up for 85 percent of the game, scared of shadows, only being able to use one smg. We were lucky back then
No joke it actually upsets me seeing Verdansk. The fact it kept everyone connected and playing for hours during covid and now It’s just not the same. Its not because most people have gone back to work and things are going back to “normal” but just because of how bad Caldera is. Ahwel… 😞
Such a great memory during a strange time man. That misty look Verdansk. All meeting up online to drop it together and have a laugh is such a great memory
Caldera isn’t even bad. They fixed most of the bug issues. The only reason people don’t like the map is because no one likes change but the map itself is actually good
Nothing wrong with the map. I never had a problem with the bugs. I had a problem with not being able to jump In and have a laugh. Just full of sweaty cunts and tournaments and wagers every single night. Took the fun away. I just wana be trash and go and have a laugh on there. Best thing I ever did fucking it off.
@@darrellcollins7683 nah most people don’t like it bc it’s an all uphill fight, super campy, and way too much vegetation to see anything 😂 plus Vanguard is widely hated so that didn’t make it any better
I have to admit I kinda lost interest when the cold war integration happened. I have high hopes for wz2 though to take us back to the newness with that modern warfare feel. Nice video buddy.
@@gttrmgc3284 true cold war still changed the guns and turned the map old and some mechanics were changed but vanguard made it a trash and changed everything, doesn't feel warzone except rebirth resurgence
MW was my favorite COD since BO2 and the COD game that brought me back to the franchise. First 6 months of Warzone were amazing as well. Haunting of Verdanst was GOATED, as well.
Got my first win on Day 1. 100% didn't know what we were doing in that Trios game. I recall Helos being abused in Solos. Lots of those old huge C4 throws in your footage. Loved the nighttime in the 1st Haunting of Verdansk. And, oh, those Red Doors. You didn't mention Iron Trials LTM, which many streamers loved playing. Your man on the scene approach has helped along the way. Love the game. Still play. Appreciate the hustle.
I remember HATING Verdansk 84. I was so done with Verdansk at that time, then to just get a slightly different Verdenask, I got so mad. Almost quit the game overall at that time. Then Caldera came out. And I loved the fact that we got a new map. But with all of the bugs that still is a problem, I just dont have fun playing Batle Royal. High hopes for Modern Warfare 2!
What a trip down memory lane. Seeing this video has brought up some great memories for the past 2 years, from the launch of MW to the launch of WZ. I started playing Warzone when Season 5 of Modern Warfare launched. Been trying to get into it ever since. I unfortunately missed out on most of the OG WZ events mentioned in this video, but looking at all the events now, they would've been so much fun, especially the Black Ops Cold War reveal event. I can already tell that I'll definitely play WZ 2 more than WZ 1 when it officially launches. Happy 2nd Birthday Warzone!
80s action heroes event was my next to favorite event besides MW haunting event. I really liked the 80s music that played in the menus and while you rode in the drop helicopter.
Man this was epic I loved warzone so much and it’s been depressing watching it slowly die away from mismanagement and slow Integrations. Warzone 2 is super important they need a large casual base of players back.
man, the early stages of modern warfare warzone will always hold a special place in my heart its oddly weird how we all say that we didn't know nothing about what was the meta & just playing casually for fun with friends
I join call of duty by Warzone, and it was right after lockdown I loved the gun play and feel. I owe Warzone so much. The modern warfare time was the best.
Got into the game a little bit into the DMR meta with my roommates, we got addicted. I remember landing countless times at stadium (when it was fully built up) and not getting loadouts because we didnt know about custom guns, great times
The old good warzone with mw guns was the best, I came back to this game recently and the fact that ww2 weapons completely wipe out modern era guns kinda shocked me.
great vid my man. this game saved alot of sanity during the covid crisis, hopefully it can get back to the heights of the first haunting event, which for me was the pinnacle of warzone.
NGL I thought Season 5 was the low point of Warzone but Cold War and now Vanguard changed my viewing of Season 5 to the extent that I miss that season even with Suldal harbor, Oil Rig (unpopular opinion) and ISO being added, the Stadium opening was nice tho
Verdansk seems a lot better than it did when we had it. It’s a shame it’s gone now. Also you used to be able to find weapons that aren’t from vanguard on the ground which was much better, there isn’t much ground loot variety anymore.
I remember how hyped I got during the Know Your History event. Then the last time I truly enjoyed Warzone not counting Resurgence was that Haunting of Verdansk event
Just came back to warzone. Rebirth is still fun, but man, do i actually miss verdansk. The new map is good in terms of looks, but every match I experience people camping in bushes, laser beaming me. I have no idea what guns are meta anymore, so I just use my old classes, which perform relatively fine. But overall, the game is just not as good as it once was, for a plethora of reasons. Hopefully this "warzone 2" can improve the experience, and make future game integrations more stable.
I just played warzone for the first time in august and feel jipped. That first year of warzone seemed bad ass and everything is just so half assed now.
MW19’s year of WZ was truly sth special, I would wipe my memory and go back in time just to experience it again, same thing is sorta happening with DMZ right now, but I doubt any year can match the WZ rumor~CW event times, the game is so engaging and the community is fun to be in, unlike now where the game is meh aside from DMZ, and the community has just been disgustingly negative
YES dude I’ve been waiting for someone to make this video! The beginning of warzone was so different than it is now and the future seems bright with WZ2
They killed warzone with integrating different cods in it. When i first heard that they are about to merge it with black ops i thought they were joking
I started to play warzone when covid started and I was addicted eventually I switched to mainly playing valorant. I came back when cold war came out but got bored after a while. I came back about a week ago cause of all the new content and am hooked again.
Great video man! Takes me back. Warzone 2020 was really lightning in a bottle. Such a special time in my heart with friends. Really made that year fun.
My main gripe with Warzone is that it screwed over MW19 well after MW19 had released. Not just the constant massive updates for MW (that never had anything to do with MW, but CW, then Vanguard) but somehow those updates made the game bugged to all hell. Warzone is fun, but I can’t support it if the devs know it’s going to foul up a game that’s not even 3 years old yet.
I dont know if anyone else found this glitch but in the fissures or whatever the one downtown it was near those 2 buildings with the hut in the middle and a ladder to go onthe roof if u jumped on like a truck or something it would kill u sometimes instantly sometimes took a bit longer
The very first place I ever landed was hospital. Then boneyard aka the bone zone and super store I miss my 3 mains but even promenade and air field were so fun makes me so sad
I remember saying that mw needed a battle royal mode like a month after the game released then a few months later we got trailers and ect and omg it hit so different back then
I began playing Warzone 9 months / one year after being launched. I remember sucking at Verdansk and playing the first Haunting of Verdansk Event. I played Verdansk a few weeks untill I stopped. Then came back on December to play rebirth… oh glorious rebirth. construction site. Going under the prison showers. And nowadays with the new map. I think Rebirth (since Alcatraz at Call Of Duty’s previous games) got Warzone back on track. There’s a ton of community that only plays Rebirth. Me one of them. Hopping to see what comes next.
Man I really do miss the beginning where there was no hacks no unlock tools just pure fun now I feel like there just dragging the game out and now the only way to have fun is to hack cod if your seeing this don’t intergrate the new cod plz

Thankyou 😇

Thank you for the amazing videos and memories of these 2 years
Man made a Warzone movie, what a king
OG Verdansk > 84 > ya boy > Putin > caldera...
fuckin right
Sucks to see how hard the game fell off. Such a great game, such great mechanics, and now look, a frustrating sweaty mess that will never be as good as it was
Hopefully warzone two will be a fresh start. I understand a lot of the bugs are because all of the assets involved in the game now…

@@fpsplayer66 Cold War was fine. Vanguard was the nail in the coffin. I still prefer the CW weapons to the MW ones.
Frustrating sweaty mess, the perfect description

I remember my friends being super active on Warzone and sometimes not being able to join because the squad was full but now everyone quit playing
Everyone quit playing for good reason.
The game is in a very low spot right now. Caldera and Vanguard killed it for me.
same here :(
Shit i dnt blame them tbh
@@kammya665 I still played it after they quit but now I regret it since I started going the gym 2 months ago and should’ve started way earlier
I have to admit I kinda lost interest when the cold war integration happened. I have high hopes for wz2 though to take us back to the newness with that modern warfare feel. Nice video buddy.
Cold War was great. Vanguard and Caldera has absolutely killed the game for me.
@@gttrmgc3284 true cold war still changed the guns and turned the map old and some mechanics were changed but vanguard made it a trash and changed everything, doesn't feel warzone except rebirth resurgence
I thought Cold War was good (MW was still better my opinion) but the thing that made me lose interest was Vanguard it took Warzone down with it
Man season one looked so much better than the monstrosity of Vanguard season 1 and Cold War season 1. I hope Warzone 2 will stay consistent!
MW was my favorite COD since BO2 and the COD game that brought me back to the franchise. First 6 months of Warzone were amazing as well. Haunting of Verdanst was GOATED, as well.
I enjoyed ghost a bit but MW was the same for me. didn't buy a cod since AW!
My gosh, I truly missed Modern Warfare-era Warzone, best time ever.
Honestly CW era was better in the department of weapon balding and maps but the hackers problem murderit
@@chucknorris6640 plus, the performance drop; s1 ran smoother than 0 friction

The streamers aren’t the usual players. Their opinions on things should be disregarded more often than not

How is warzone 2 going for u buddy lol 😂😂
It’s really awesome to see how much Warzone has changed in just two years. Definitely has it’s ups and downs

Happy 2nd Birthday Warzone!
Favorite meta was DMR-14 + Mac 10. My k/d climbed over 1 whole point during that holiday season.
I wish they continued warzone with mw content only
finally i found someone saying it besides me
80s action heroes event was my next to favorite event besides MW haunting event. I really liked the 80s music that played in the menus and while you rode in the drop helicopter.
Man this was epic I loved warzone so much and it’s been depressing watching it slowly die away from mismanagement and slow Integrations.
Warzone 2 is super important they need a large casual base of players back.
That 1984 Verdansk was the start of the downfall honestly, we wanted a new map and got CHEESED
That time during covid playing this game. Meeting everyone online at x time to drop in is such a fond memory during a strange time.
Crazy it’s been two years!
man, the early stages of modern warfare warzone will always hold a special place in my heart its oddly weird how we all say that we didn't know nothing about what was the meta & just playing casually for fun with friends
The good all days 5 7 of your friends waiting to team up and play for 8hrs stright
I join call of duty by Warzone, and it was right after lockdown I loved the gun play and feel. I owe Warzone so much. The modern warfare time was the best.
Added to the list of “things I’ll show to my kids”. Finally found the time to enjoy this fantastic video ❤️
Thanks for the video. Can see how much time and effort went into this. Loved warzone since day 1.
bro MW19 was such a time to be alive. They did such a great job with this game fr
This video was very well crafted, props to you Espresso.
20:58
Look at those FFAR zoomies! What a throwback. Literally on ice skates
Bring back verdansk with just mw guns
Man I miss the old warzone ,I remember playing it in 2020
I can’t believe I’m just now seeing this. That was a fantastic video! Thank you for the trip down memory lane.
The bunker and access card update days, before the Cold War integration, was the best Warzone has ever bean, easy. Hope MW 2 holds up.
Lockdown verdansk was one the best things that kept the pandemic fun to be at home
Got into the game a little bit into the DMR meta with my roommates, we got addicted. I remember landing countless times at stadium (when it was fully built up) and not getting loadouts because we didnt know about custom guns, great times
7:49 I like how the explosion on the clip is in par when u said “a boom”. Perfect timing
Honestly man I'm not even a big WZ player but this definitely took me back brought up some good memories.
Favourite meta for me was definitely the Bruen, I dropped my PR (27) with that and an MP5 in solos
The old good warzone with mw guns was the best, I came back to this game recently and the fact that ww2 weapons completely wipe out modern era guns kinda shocked me.
I miss those MW Season 2 - 4 chillness...
i remember the first two weeks of quarantine, i played mw 2019 and warzone non stop, kinda miss it
How good was OG C4?!!!
I just hope one day someone make a 2020 Warzone private server or something like that. It was the best
This was a masterpiece, thank you for waking my memories...
So many memories 😍 Thankyou for the nostalgia my dude!! :)
Weird to think something two years ago carries so much nostalgia
great vid my man. this game saved alot of sanity during the covid crisis, hopefully it can get back to the heights of the first haunting event, which for me was the pinnacle of warzone.
The world was on lockdown ...it'll never be like it was again bro
@@lillagahnavich7700 unless we have covid 2
@@sethmadlad5573 I've got an idea 😈
NGL I thought Season 5 was the low point of Warzone but Cold War and now Vanguard changed my viewing of Season 5 to the extent that I miss that season even with Suldal harbor, Oil Rig (unpopular opinion) and ISO being added, the Stadium opening was nice tho
This videos could be called the rise and fall of warzone 😢
This video really made me cry. So nostalgic. We'll regret complaining so much about Verdansk and WZ in general. Good times that will never come back.
3:30 am I need to goto bed
4:17 am wow that was a great memory lane trip of warzone
Anytime I hear evolution Motörhead just comes on in my head 😂😂
Warzone from launch to the first haunting of Verdansk was the best
thank you fo making this video it brings back such good memories
Verdansk seems a lot better than it did when we had it. It’s a shame it’s gone now. Also you used to be able to find weapons that aren’t from vanguard on the ground which was much better, there isn’t much ground loot variety anymore.
its also cool that we can see how much better you and other players have gotten at the game when you are showing new and old clips
I love how all the clips in the background showcase all the metas from the thermal hdr Grau or bruen
I remember how hyped I got during the Know Your History event. Then the last time I truly enjoyed Warzone not counting Resurgence was that Haunting of Verdansk event
Early lockdown and then Haunting of Verdansk were peak times for me, such great nostalgia
Just came back to warzone. Rebirth is still fun, but man, do i actually miss verdansk. The new map is good in terms of looks, but every match I experience people camping in bushes, laser beaming me.

Cold war season 2 is when i joined, its nostalgic hearing the og warzone matchmaking music
The downward spiral of warzone. And the crash landing they call Caldera.
Best moment for me was when I dropped in for my first and couldn’t find any attachments for my gun and then loadout dropped and I was in love!
I just played warzone for the first time in august and feel jipped. That first year of warzone seemed bad ass and everything is just so half assed now.
Been playing since season 1 and looking back now I miss it so much. Caldera is shit. All I play now is rebirth island
@@Jesseg-rj6xf that’s everybody
This is by far the best trip down Warzone memory lane!! Thank you for this!!
Next year boys. Warzone 2. All the boys come together. again.
mw 2022 is gonna be so good and warzone will be fun again
I used to drop port and I miss it every single day. So many memories man!!
That C4 was really like that
It was very good at beginning when it was only modern warfare warzone Game now it's a WW2 mess with broken guns with insane mobility and damage
MW19’s year of WZ was truly sth special, I would wipe my memory and go back in time just to experience it again, same thing is sorta happening with DMZ right now, but I doubt any year can match the WZ rumor~CW event times, the game is so engaging and the community is fun to be in, unlike now where the game is meh aside from DMZ, and the community has just been disgustingly negative
Man, this video just makes me miss OG Verdansk so much. What were they thinking with the new map :(
Best Warzone History video!
Thanks for making this man! so many memories :) lol
I think i started warzone when it was Mac10 dmr meta. This video is insane to learn the story of the game. Thanks!!!!
This is defently my favourite Video about Warzone.
WZ 2
I am waiting for it
I regret not hoping onto the train before it got huge, but I just stuck to multiplier for the first 3 or 4 months warzone came out.
OG verdansk warzone was perfect, no sweats, no broken movement, and no broken intergrations
As gamers we were never happy. We moaned about verdansk but in the end the grass was not greener and looking back, verdansk was such a great map.
I just wish they had continued to build on Verdansk and hadn’t integrated Vanguard(and maybe even Cold War). MW Warzone had some great times.
What a great game…
YES dude I’ve been waiting for someone to make this video! The beginning of warzone was so different than it is now and the future seems bright with WZ2
took me down memory lane bro thanks
2020 : God.
2021 : Meh...
2022 : let's wait for MW2
Its evolving, but backwards.
The 1st Halloween event was my favorite time in Warzone
They killed warzone with integrating different cods in it. When i first heard that they are about to merge it with black ops i thought they were joking
I started to play warzone when covid started and I was addicted eventually I switched to mainly playing valorant. I came back when cold war came out but got bored after a while. I came back about a week ago cause of all the new content and am hooked again.
My favourite drop spot was the hole outside of airport ( before verdansk 84 )
This video hits me right in the feels
Great video man! Takes me back. Warzone 2020 was really lightning in a bottle. Such a special time in my heart with friends. Really made that year fun.
I stopped playing at the launch of MW season 5 launch. Glad I can see what I’ve missed up to my return in season 2 of vanguard
My main gripe with Warzone is that it screwed over MW19 well after MW19 had released. Not just the constant massive updates for MW (that never had anything to do with MW, but CW, then Vanguard) but somehow those updates made the game bugged to all hell.
Warzone is fun, but I can’t support it if the devs know it’s going to foul up a game that’s not even 3 years old yet.
I dont know if anyone else found this glitch but in the fissures or whatever the one downtown it was near those 2 buildings with the hut in the middle and a ladder to go onthe roof if u jumped on like a truck or something it would kill u sometimes instantly sometimes took a bit longer
The very first place I ever landed was hospital. Then boneyard aka the bone zone and super store I miss my 3 mains but even promenade and air field were so fun makes me so sad
I remember saying that mw needed a battle royal mode like a month after the game released then a few months later we got trailers and ect and omg it hit so different back then
I began playing Warzone 9 months / one year after being launched. I remember sucking at Verdansk and playing the first Haunting of Verdansk Event. I played Verdansk a few weeks untill I stopped. Then came back on December to play rebirth… oh glorious rebirth. construction site. Going under the prison showers. And nowadays with the new map. I think Rebirth (since Alcatraz at Call Of Duty’s previous games) got Warzone back on track. There’s a ton of community that only plays Rebirth. Me one of them. Hopping to see what comes next.
Played day 1 until they added Cold War guns. Got locked up for a year and now warzone waaaay different. Much appreciated 🤯
One things I regret the most is not playing warzone until summer 2021. I was too busy playing escape from tarkov 🥴
Man I really do miss the beginning where there was no hacks no unlock tools just pure fun now I feel like there just dragging the game out and now the only way to have fun is to hack cod if your seeing this don’t intergrate the new cod plz
Great video Kept my interest the entire time. Thanks for putting the time into it!
Every part of the video Im like; "Yeahh... That's where I was killed.. And there... and there..."
Grau meta was the most fun even tho it got annoying getting beamed by it from other players. But man that gun was so fun to use
