There was no challenges either.. nothing to grind for. It was just aimlessly playing.
@@ItsAlpa they addressed all of those issues by season 2. Unlike COD, they listened to the community. People said the weapons took too long to get attachments, they modified the level up system and added in more mastery camos. Players that were playing the game got an increase in weapon levels to match the new system. People wanted better weapon balancing, the addresses that. The netcode they finally addressed and they stated it would take awhile. It’s not 100% but it is a lot smoother than when the game first launched. They even added in more game modes that was requested. That’s the difference. The developers didn’t fail XDefiant, Ubisoft failed the developers and community by not telling the inevitable.
@@MIYayYo Blame Ubisoft, blame whoever, but it was the most obvious imminent falloff right at launch. They rushed it out which resulted in it dying. They needed to have that stuff ready at launch. The point is, their only selling point was no SBMM and devs that "listen to the community" but, I should correct that and say "listen to the noobs." So, part of the blame is to the devs. Don't be an XDefiant apologist, there is a reason that game is being defunded.
This is a social media problem. The best builds in every game propagate so fast and are so in everyones face that everyone just runs the best builds. This has always been a problem in games but it was less bad back in the day because only high skill lobbies would suffer from meta abusers. Now every elo of every game is flooded with meta abuse, the trick is sorta to just make everything broken but even if everything is broken a best build will still rise to the top. Games that allow players to build their classes will always have the meta arms race. This is why old halo was awesome. There is no class, the only way to get the good guns is win a gun fight for them
This is the unfortunate thing about activision.. They have the money to do whatever they need to market the game. There was a constant continuing decrease of players since Vanguard so they needed to pull a trick out of their sleeve and promote Bo6 like it was the next best thing. People fell for it (again). It reignited the hype for a little bit and buys them time to do another scummy trick a couple titles later. I truly think they know their games are awful, and that is how they want them to be. They don't want players falling too in love with a game because it will ruin the sales for future titles. Back in the day, people would bounce between CoD 4 through Bo1. In 2010, they all had a steady playerbase still because they were all good options to play and mix it up. Activision does not want that anymore.
It sucks that a game I used to love is doing this bad but at the same time hopefully they take this as a wakeup call and actually make a good game the people want
The old movement, the bobbing up&down and side to side as you run is actually the way it feels when you run and jump around.Sliding on your arse for 20metres in every which way possible without any slowdown is ridiculous!Take it out and COD will feel like it was.😉
well they did that in mw2 2022 but the movement was "tOo sLoW" the only issue with mw2 2022 was the maps, mini map, and footstep audio, if it had better what i just said, it would have been the best cod in years. it was so close yet so far away
These games used to be made for adults but now all they do is cater towards kids. I played COD since I was 9 years old and yes I was a kid playing a game I shouldn’t but that is how it is supposed to be. It’s silly seeing all these childish things in a game for grown adults.
It's funny, because Village wasn't a particularly "good" map in MW3, and no one really celebrated when it showed up in your match. It was a fairly neutral map. BUT: it actually had a flow! You could tell where enemies would come from just by being aware of your teammate's presence. There was no spawn-trapping, no areas that you had to watch your back on all the time, and you could pay patiently, if not tactically, to work your way to worthwhile EARNED streaks. Nowadays the maps are disjointed with either large maps with dead areas where no combat occurs or small maps where you spawn, shoot, die, and spawn again as you get shot in the back if you don't keep moving. Obviously Black Ops is different than the Modern Warfare games historically, but the constant pressure from Activision to have maps that just grind you do dust in the name of "fairness" has just ruined the fun. The game isn't about enjoyment anymore, just engagement. And those are not the same thing, even if Activision thinks they are. EDIT: preach it Fortunate. Preach it.
Wdym no spawn trapping? genuinely curious. Because either the spawns are sticky or theyre loose and all over the place. If theyre too sticky theres spawn trapping. If theyre too loose you get shot in the back.
@@awepossum1059 Blops 6 has much worse problems with spawn trapping on objective modes than I recall MW3 having, probably due to the small size of the maps.
Where do you play? I play bo2 on xbox one since two months and it's very enjoyable, only sometimes you find hackers but in that case simply quit and find another lobby. They're not that frequent
Apparently, that game is going to be woke. They've already said they aren't going to be offensive to certain groups of marginalised people. I really fear gta 6 will be like the last of us 2 where they insert woke garbage propaganda into the dialogue and story for the sake of inclusion. Plus R* have pushed out the men who made the other gta games so special and replaced them with activists 😢
It's such a shame that a game that used to be so extremely fun, has turned into a stale, repetitive, sweaty, clusterf*ck of a mess. SBMM has totally ruined CoD for me.
the last cod I played was bo2, I had the honor of playing cod in its golden age, bo6 was the first cod in which I spent 99% of the time playing zombies, the maps are all horrible, and as fortunate said, after playing 2-3 matches on nuketown (because it was the only decent map) you got tired because of sbmm
Bro the average player playing COD, especially with how strong aim assist is, is so much better than they used to be. If you don’t like matchmaking with SBMM, chances are you are a low skilled player with a big ego. You think you’re better than you actually are and SBMM reminds you of that. SBMM protects you
Did people forget how grim the MW reboot player numbers were before warzone? Cod was already on life support at that point in time.. It just back to the norm now.
In my opinion, cod started to go downhill when they started making everything a micro-transaction and instead of sbmm, do what bo2 did and have a separate playlist for ranked and casual.
Thank the people that spend money on micro transactions. They're absolutely the reason modern cod is the way it is. Make clowning on people that spend money on in game items a thing again.
Maybe it's just me, but I've enjoyed Black Ops 6 more than any CoD in recent years. In fact I'm probably having the most fun I've had since the first Black Ops. Then again, I've only played with friends rather than solo. Do i like all the dumb skins? No, but that doesnt detract from the fun. Cant say I've really encountered many hackers either, if any. I mean i encountered hackers on CoD4 back in 2008 its nothing new.
Haven't played cod in years. Bought bo6 cause some friends finally got me to and I played maybe 20 hours worth and uninstalled it today. Maybe I grew up or something but cod jus sucks man. Truly a sad story for this franchise
Same thing for the sports games. 2k/madden and cod are 2 different genres yet have similar business practices. Both have shut down modded clients, and both are greedy.
What’s crazy is I remember when mw3 came out the community was super high on it. Coming off of legendary games like bo1 and mw2. Me and my buddies actually quit cod for battlefield 3 at the time. I remember going back to mw3 after some of the new cods came out and mw3 was such a good game compared to the new cods. It’s crazy how high our standards were for cods back in the early 2010s. I’ve haven’t bought a new cod since bo3 and couldn’t be happier not wasting my time with that franchise. I’ve been playing counter-strike and it’s been a blast. A game dev that stays true to form and not much has changed in the 25 years it’s been out. Highly recommend
I can’t believe people still buy cod. Even if they announced a new game with no SBMM I wouldn’t even believe or trust them. We just gotta hold on to those memories from the good old days
Personally I stopped playing new CODs after BO4 with the exception of MW 2019 and I haven't truly enjoyed a new COD since BO4 solely because of Blackout if I'm being honest with myself.
Dude and the worst part is that if activision were to see this video they could easily have a full on break down on how to get players back, but the most important thing you said is that at this point we need to cod actually just die and let it go. The old games were good but I really think activision is seriously not catching on and it isn’t getting better. Per se they could remove sbmm and immediately get players back by 1 move. Unfortunately they aren’t going to learn their lesson until the money runs dry
the zombies is horrific as well, has no resemblance to anything treyarch has done from BO1 to BO3. Call of duty will never be the same again, someone in the comments mentioned it but games like cod are now just corporate capitalist money hungry people. We need to come together and fully repopulate older cods again. Fuck playing this new crap
I agree, im a multiplayer guy now, but was a big fan of WaW and BO1 zombies, they were fun cause they were simple (unless you were doing easter eggs on like moon or ascension), i heard allot of good things about BO6 zombies, and after 30 hours of multiplayer (torture), i said fuck it, let me see it, played 2 games of zombies one solo one with people, it was just too much, i did not like it at all, WaW and BO1 had a certain flair/style, this one imo, does not.
Yeah man the zombies maps look so generic in bo6 Its such a bullshit zombie mode, which is a shame because I enjoyed cold war zombies a lot. It looked way better and was way more fun. Bo6 zombies just feels boring and very unpleasant to look at
I agree and I don’t even play CoD anymore (haven’t since Cold War). Zombies just flopped after Bo3 like you said bo6 zombies has no soul behind it and resembles any that Treyarch has done from WaW and Bo3. It’s sad what this franchise has become.
@@carlopanella5855 yeah i agree, the zombie maps are basically an area of what you would play in warzone just with zombies who run a little faster. There's no originality to things. The maps are god awful, the new castle map is basically a replica version of Der eisendrache one of the best maps ever made. The HUD looks rubbish, the perks aren't original, the easter eggs are way over the top & just simple things in the game look overdone. It's sad to see but it was always gonna go down hill after BO3 imo.
@@dlang26 Agreed, wish we could just get a similar zombies experience to BO3 and have all the OG maps in one place on one engine and just have a game for zombies and no warzone/multiplayer but that would never happen cause it's turned into a cash cow.
Bo6 multiplayer is just plain not fun. I've gone back to Mw2019 and Mw3. My friends and I instantly started to enjoy playing cod again. Bo6 just feels empty, if that makes sense. Zombies is pretty good though.
Once they started incorporating Warzone into the normal multiplayer of COD, it's been very downhill. These need to be completely separated entities because things that work in Warzone dont necessarily work in normal multiplayer and vice versa.
Had so many people on reddit argue with me and call me an idiot for saying this game will be dead in another 2 months. So many people get so defensive about SBMM and you aren't allowed to critique cod or you're "complaining". Weird
I have my PS3 while at college, and have been playing the old CoDs, I literally played WAW and BO6 the same day at a buddy's house and it's just disappointing. It looks better, but it's not even worth it. It played worse, guns were worse and attachments didn't make sense. The matches were incredibly hard for no reason, I'd play a game, barely go positive after dropping 20-30 kills in WAW, then next match I'd play against people I couldn't even react too. I'm playing against people half my age and I'm not even that old and it's like they don't even go outside. I can put a whole mag into a guy with an AK and not get the kill, because I firmly believe SB damage does exist. But no matter how good or bad in WAW, a garand still does the same damage.
About zombies. It’s crazy they turned gobblegums into a big micro trans also. Like yeah you can earn them, but to get the red ones, you either have to prestige or purchase them…
Not gonna lie man, i wish you would stop buying every new call of duty that comes out. I get that you do it for the content, but i would rather these crooks not get a dime. The only way they're going to stop releasing these trash games is if people stop buying them. Every "non-sale" counts. Theres a lot of content creators out there and the only way they're going to change is if TH-camrs & Twitch streamers boycott them. The free promotion they give COD on every new release just encourages thousands of little kids (who don't know about the good days of COD) to go out and buy the new COD every single year. And then we get another garbage release the next year because of that. Its a cycle that never ends. People buy the garbage slop, so they keep producing it.
Genuinely can’t believe how great we had it 10-15 years ago, and how far the franchise has fallen since then. No passion or soul in any of these new cod games
I feel like I’m crazy because I never see anyone say it, but call of duty fundamentally changed after black ops 4. The engine changed, multiplayer became ingrained in warzone, the entire feel just shifted from arcade to pseudorealism, and for me, it’s never hit since. MW19 single handedly killed the game we all grew up with and loved. Even games like ghosts and IW felt like call of duty. These past 5 years don’t. But maybe I’m rambling because I’ve never heard anyone else say this.
how dope would it be if they did some minor updates to all the old games (remove input lag, hardware ban cheaters) then did a weekly rotation of 3 or 4 different old CoDs (to force servers to be well populated over the spread of all old CODs) then change to a new 3 or 4 per week we could get them to stop trying to scam us, they wont have to barely try to make any new games: COD is done, its been done. Just hang up the coat and let us oldheads relive the glory days
Bang on with your points you’ve made. It’s crazy to think that COD is really burying its player-base as they are blatantly ignoring the community and I’ve never seen the franchise hit rock bottom. Haven’t played COD since CW and will never do so again unless a big overhaul comes into effect
Well said. Their goal isn't to maximise fun by making a good game, it's to maximise profits by selling bundles. That's why the whole thing feels so cheap and poorly executed. It's incredibly frustrating because there's no reason why we shouldn't have games that surpass the old classics by now. Imagine if they had continued to innovate, had a passionate team, and cared about their games and players (many of whom had supported COD for years). Their last few releases are particularly desperate and pathetic. They can't even get the naming conventions right (looking at you, MW3 2023, with MW2 2009 maps) let alone release a playable game. They are truly incapable of reaching the heights of COD 10+ years ago thanks to corporate greed, so it's time for them to go. What a waste.
I feel like every year around Christmas time this happens. Devs go on Holliday breaks, the work being done is limited so a lot things will be unaddressed until the new year. It’s a shame cause it should be peek time for cod rn but it’s just isn’t for the reasons you stated
They should release a 2 in 1 game : MW2 and MW3. I mean online when you get to choose the map, you literally choose which game you’re gonna play at the same time (depending on the map). That would be sick
why does it seem like such an impossible thing for them to release a game like mw2 and mw3 again?! remove diving, tweak the graphics a notch and enjoy the profit?!
So I downloaded the trial that was offered on Playstation+, booted up the game, and didn't make it pass the weapon class setup. There were so many attachment options and perks that I just gave up right then and there.
Black Ops 1 on Xbox is like the last standing outpost for good Call of Duty. You can still find lobbies relatively easy, and hackers are very rare (most hackers are on Bo2, mw3 or waw).
To be completely honest here, Activision won't stop threatening legal action against the modding community with the way they are going. What the community should be doing instead is building a COD-competitor game off of a different engine that uses nothing from Activision so there is no legal foot to stand on to take down the projects. The community is incredibly talented and obviously knows how to make a great game and if they can use a different engine and other assets, then they really can build something to kill COD.
On top of everything they killed the only playable playlist (10v10) by adding in the small slop maps into the list :(. It was the only thing that kept me playing MP. You had some of the less bad maps in that list but now? Ugh EDIT: Also Kernel level anti-cheat coming in season 2. GG thats it for me with new cod releases.
I told myself that I wasn't gonna get Black Ops 6, 2 months before it's released & I still stand by it. I knew the game wasn't gonna be good, I knew they weren't gonna listen and they paid the price for it. And look where's it at now. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone. It wasn't for me..
Its so simple to revive cod its crazy and in the long run they will be much more profitable. But they focus on short term gains. Make warzone seprate, and go the og route with multiplayer. When the game is good again you can still sell micro transactions
Man we really had it great from Cod4-BO2, Cods after that just felt off imo. My friends and I have been really enjoying Marvel Rivals, I'm not great at it but it's nice to chill/game with the boys and not have heavy SBMM.

@@MIYayYo Blame Ubisoft, blame whoever, but it was the most obvious imminent falloff right at launch. They rushed it out which resulted in it dying. They needed to have that stuff ready at launch. The point is, their only selling point was no SBMM and devs that "listen to the community" but, I should correct that and say "listen to the noobs." So, part of the blame is to the devs. Don't be an XDefiant apologist, there is a reason that game is being defunded.
This is a social media problem. The best builds in every game propagate so fast and are so in everyones face that everyone just runs the best builds. This has always been a problem in games but it was less bad back in the day because only high skill lobbies would suffer from meta abusers. Now every elo of every game is flooded with meta abuse, the trick is sorta to just make everything broken but even if everything is broken a best build will still rise to the top. Games that allow players to build their classes will always have the meta arms race. This is why old halo was awesome. There is no class, the only way to get the good guns is win a gun fight for them
This is the unfortunate thing about activision.. They have the money to do whatever they need to market the game. There was a constant continuing decrease of players since Vanguard so they needed to pull a trick out of their sleeve and promote Bo6 like it was the next best thing. People fell for it (again). It reignited the hype for a little bit and buys them time to do another scummy trick a couple titles later. I truly think they know their games are awful, and that is how they want them to be. They don't want players falling too in love with a game because it will ruin the sales for future titles. Back in the day, people would bounce between CoD 4 through Bo1. In 2010, they all had a steady playerbase still because they were all good options to play and mix it up. Activision does not want that anymore.
Yep me and my buddies would bounce between mw2 mw3 and blops2 constantly.
It sucks that a game I used to love is doing this bad but at the same time hopefully they take this as a wakeup call and actually make a good game the people want
Yeah, good luck. This is greedy Activision we're talking about here.
That's never gonna happen. The people responsible for making every game from COD4 to BO2 are long gone and have been so for many years.
COD 2019 was the comeback, then they repeated all the old mistakes.
People need to stop buying the game. All they will listen to is $ unfortunately
People have been saying this every year since bo3….just give up lol
The old movement, the bobbing up&down and side to side as you run is actually the way it feels when you run and jump around.Sliding on your arse for 20metres in every which way possible without any slowdown is ridiculous!Take it out and COD will feel like it was.😉
They took out slide canceling in mwii 2022. no one liked that.
well they did that in mw2 2022 but the movement was "tOo sLoW"
the only issue with mw2 2022 was the maps, mini map, and footstep audio, if it had better what i just said, it would have been the best cod in years. it was so close yet so far away
@@VOLDGAMER1 it had horrible visual recoil. you couldnt see what you were shooting at
These games used to be made for adults but now all they do is cater towards kids. I played COD since I was 9 years old and yes I was a kid playing a game I shouldn’t but that is how it is supposed to be. It’s silly seeing all these childish things in a game for grown adults.
Hopefully modern cod dies so Activision finally learns how to make a good Call of Duty
It won't die let's be real
Activision is a greedy company that doesn't give 2 sh*ts.
Remembers *
@@baseballdipper111 it won’t be remembers cos everything past black ops 3 has been wiped from existence according to them
@@baseballdipper111 also this isn’t the same Activision from cod’s prime
It's funny, because Village wasn't a particularly "good" map in MW3, and no one really celebrated when it showed up in your match. It was a fairly neutral map. BUT: it actually had a flow! You could tell where enemies would come from just by being aware of your teammate's presence. There was no spawn-trapping, no areas that you had to watch your back on all the time, and you could pay patiently, if not tactically, to work your way to worthwhile EARNED streaks. Nowadays the maps are disjointed with either large maps with dead areas where no combat occurs or small maps where you spawn, shoot, die, and spawn again as you get shot in the back if you don't keep moving. Obviously Black Ops is different than the Modern Warfare games historically, but the constant pressure from Activision to have maps that just grind you do dust in the name of "fairness" has just ruined the fun. The game isn't about enjoyment anymore, just engagement. And those are not the same thing, even if Activision thinks they are. EDIT: preach it Fortunate. Preach it.
Wdym no spawn trapping? genuinely curious. Because either the spawns are sticky or theyre loose and all over the place. If theyre too sticky theres spawn trapping. If theyre too loose you get shot in the back.
@@awepossum1059 Blops 6 has much worse problems with spawn trapping on objective modes than I recall MW3 having, probably due to the small size of the maps.
@@andregurov I would rather have sticky spawns and spawn trapping then spawns that are just all over the place. But theres a balance i agree
Everyone hyped it up just to remember cod will never be the same
Honeymoon period
I miss MW2019 the last COD I’ve enjoyed and felt like they put passion into redefining the formula
Yeah, then they did MW2 in 2022. I though it would be better than MW2019 - but I felt scammed. They lost a customer.
Lmao MW2019 is the catalyst which got us in the state COD is currently in.
God man old COD looks like SOOOO much more fun than new COD. How on earth do I play MW2, BO1 and 2 without encountering cheaters?
Where do you play? I play bo2 on xbox one since two months and it's very enjoyable, only sometimes you find hackers but in that case simply quit and find another lobby. They're not that frequent
just played terminal with a prestige 9 dude literally aimbotting zombies😂😂😂 shits sad
Deadshot daiquiri my guy.
Worst Cod in years and Ubisoft shuts down XDefiant instead of capitalizing on Cod’s downfall. The megacorp publishers deserve their downfall.
if more people band together and leave, we can populate the OG games again. modern COD is over
This is what we have to do. They're still playable!
Never going to happen, you're speaking in fairytales
@@jamescooke3946 every franchise will come to an end eventually. COD has been circling the drain for a while.
Haven’t bought a new COD since BO4. 😂 I just been waiting for everyone else to do their part. 🤣
GTA6 is where ill be
If it ever comes out 😅 we've been waiting forever
GTA 6 looks like the gayest shit 😂
Apparently, that game is going to be woke. They've already said they aren't going to be offensive to certain groups of marginalised people. I really fear gta 6 will be like the last of us 2 where they insert woke garbage propaganda into the dialogue and story for the sake of inclusion. Plus R* have pushed out the men who made the other gta games so special and replaced them with activists 😢
It's such a shame that a game that used to be so extremely fun, has turned into a stale, repetitive, sweaty, clusterf*ck of a mess.
SBMM has totally ruined CoD for me.
Big recommendation: Path of Exile 2
the last cod I played was bo2, I had the honor of playing cod in its golden age, bo6 was the first cod in which I spent 99% of the time playing zombies, the maps are all horrible, and as fortunate said, after playing 2-3 matches on nuketown (because it was the only decent map) you got tired because of sbmm
Bro the average player playing COD, especially with how strong aim assist is, is so much better than they used to be.
If you don’t like matchmaking with SBMM, chances are you are a low skilled player with a big ego. You think you’re better than you actually are and SBMM reminds you of that. SBMM protects you
What a weird comment. @@teepee2531
More players and higher profits than ever, its hard to consider that dying.
Fortunate in his Blame Truth era ✨️
Did people forget how grim the MW reboot player numbers were before warzone? Cod was already on life support at that point in time.. It just back to the norm now.
Black ops 4 was the last cod I enjoyed
a lot of people hate it because of the abilities. But it had pretty good maps and no SBMM. 8/10
That and mw 2019
Rcxd trophy/achievement is also bugged atm
I haven't played black ops 6 in awhile. I've been back on the 360 with mw2/mw3/black ops and waw.
Who vruh
In my opinion, cod started to go downhill when they started making everything a micro-transaction and instead of sbmm, do what bo2 did and have a separate playlist for ranked and casual.
STOP BUYING MODERN CALL OF DUTIES!
Thank the people that spend money on micro transactions. They're absolutely the reason modern cod is the way it is. Make clowning on people that spend money on in game items a thing again.
One underrated thing from the old cods is the announcer doesnt blab constantly
Maybe it's just me, but I've enjoyed Black Ops 6 more than any CoD in recent years. In fact I'm probably having the most fun I've had since the first Black Ops. Then again, I've only played with friends rather than solo.
Do i like all the dumb skins? No, but that doesnt detract from the fun. Cant say I've really encountered many hackers either, if any. I mean i encountered hackers on CoD4 back in 2008 its nothing new.
Haven't played cod in years. Bought bo6 cause some friends finally got me to and I played maybe 20 hours worth and uninstalled it today. Maybe I grew up or something but cod jus sucks man. Truly a sad story for this franchise
Yes, you have changed, its not new anymore.
Cod died years ago! Battlefield 1 nowadays still has more players than most Cods...
Same thing for the sports games. 2k/madden and cod are 2 different genres yet have similar business practices. Both have shut down modded clients, and both are greedy.
I'm happy to hear that
What’s crazy is I remember when mw3 came out the community was super high on it. Coming off of legendary games like bo1 and mw2. Me and my buddies actually quit cod for battlefield 3 at the time. I remember going back to mw3 after some of the new cods came out and mw3 was such a good game compared to the new cods. It’s crazy how high our standards were for cods back in the early 2010s.
I’ve haven’t bought a new cod since bo3 and couldn’t be happier not wasting my time with that franchise. I’ve been playing counter-strike and it’s been a blast. A game dev that stays true to form and not much has changed in the 25 years it’s been out. Highly recommend
I can’t believe people still buy cod. Even if they announced a new game with no SBMM I wouldn’t even believe or trust them. We just gotta hold on to those memories from the good old days
Given up on RTCs because I cant even keep myself sane getting to commander. It's disgusting how unplayable the new CODs have been
Personally I stopped playing new CODs after BO4 with the exception of MW 2019 and I haven't truly enjoyed a new COD since BO4 solely because of Blackout if I'm being honest with myself.
Dude and the worst part is that if activision were to see this video they could easily have a full on break down on how to get players back, but the most important thing you said is that at this point we need to cod actually just die and let it go. The old games were good but I really think activision is seriously not catching on and it isn’t getting better. Per se they could remove sbmm and immediately get players back by 1 move. Unfortunately they aren’t going to learn their lesson until the money runs dry
Great vid btw
the zombies is horrific as well, has no resemblance to anything treyarch has done from BO1 to BO3. Call of duty will never be the same again, someone in the comments mentioned it but games like cod are now just corporate capitalist money hungry people. We need to come together and fully repopulate older cods again. Fuck playing this new crap
I agree, im a multiplayer guy now, but was a big fan of WaW and BO1 zombies, they were fun cause they were simple (unless you were doing easter eggs on like moon or ascension), i heard allot of good things about BO6 zombies, and after 30 hours of multiplayer (torture), i said fuck it, let me see it, played 2 games of zombies one solo one with people, it was just too much, i did not like it at all, WaW and BO1 had a certain flair/style, this one imo, does not.
Yeah man the zombies maps look so generic in bo6
Its such a bullshit zombie mode, which is a shame because I enjoyed cold war zombies a lot. It looked way better and was way more fun. Bo6 zombies just feels boring and very unpleasant to look at
I agree and I don’t even play CoD anymore (haven’t since Cold War). Zombies just flopped after Bo3 like you said bo6 zombies has no soul behind it and resembles any that Treyarch has done from WaW and Bo3. It’s sad what this franchise has become.
@@carlopanella5855 yeah i agree, the zombie maps are basically an area of what you would play in warzone just with zombies who run a little faster. There's no originality to things. The maps are god awful, the new castle map is basically a replica version of Der eisendrache one of the best maps ever made. The HUD looks rubbish, the perks aren't original, the easter eggs are way over the top & just simple things in the game look overdone. It's sad to see but it was always gonna go down hill after BO3 imo.
@@dlang26 Agreed, wish we could just get a similar zombies experience to BO3 and have all the OG maps in one place on one engine and just have a game for zombies and no warzone/multiplayer but that would never happen cause it's turned into a cash cow.
The OG mw2 vids you upload or have uploaded in the past take up all my free time bro thankyou!
Bo6 multiplayer is just plain not fun. I've gone back to Mw2019 and Mw3. My friends and I instantly started to enjoy playing cod again. Bo6 just feels empty, if that makes sense. Zombies is pretty good though.
mwiii is god tier
It feels great to witness the destruction of something you never had faith in from the start
worst part is steamcharts shows all the players for warzone, bo6, mw3 and mw2 combined
Once they started incorporating Warzone into the normal multiplayer of COD, it's been very downhill. These need to be completely separated entities because things that work in Warzone dont necessarily work in normal multiplayer and vice versa.
Had so many people on reddit argue with me and call me an idiot for saying this game will be dead in another 2 months. So many people get so defensive about SBMM and you aren't allowed to critique cod or you're "complaining". Weird
Well you are talking to children so you can't expect much from them.
@Gr3atWhiteHop3 that's true
I have my PS3 while at college, and have been playing the old CoDs, I literally played WAW and BO6 the same day at a buddy's house and it's just disappointing. It looks better, but it's not even worth it. It played worse, guns were worse and attachments didn't make sense. The matches were incredibly hard for no reason, I'd play a game, barely go positive after dropping 20-30 kills in WAW, then next match I'd play against people I couldn't even react too. I'm playing against people half my age and I'm not even that old and it's like they don't even go outside. I can put a whole mag into a guy with an AK and not get the kill, because I firmly believe SB damage does exist. But no matter how good or bad in WAW, a garand still does the same damage.
I feel like COD is running out of legs to stand on.
About zombies.
It’s crazy they turned gobblegums into a big micro trans also. Like yeah you can earn them, but to get the red ones, you either have to prestige or purchase them…
This is honestly sad,Activision just had to ruin the best cod since Black Ops 3,This is embarrassing
Not gonna lie man, i wish you would stop buying every new call of duty that comes out. I get that you do it for the content, but i would rather these crooks not get a dime. The only way they're going to stop releasing these trash games is if people stop buying them. Every "non-sale" counts. Theres a lot of content creators out there and the only way they're going to change is if TH-camrs & Twitch streamers boycott them. The free promotion they give COD on every new release just encourages thousands of little kids (who don't know about the good days of COD) to go out and buy the new COD every single year. And then we get another garbage release the next year because of that. Its a cycle that never ends. People buy the garbage slop, so they keep producing it.
COD used to have that awesome military / war aesthetic. No sliding. We’re literally playing Fortnite Lite rn.
Sadly we are never going to get those BO1, OG MW3, BO2, etc. days back.
Man the MP7 extended mags silencer was so OP, shoots like a laser. The iron sight is so satisying as well.
thank god for classic cods, it's all thats needed player base is growing and i just got my xbox 360 to play :)
Unfortunately the hackers deter alot of players tho 😢
Having gamepass made it even easier to delete the game right around mid 4th prestige
Genuinely can’t believe how great we had it 10-15 years ago, and how far the franchise has fallen since then. No passion or soul in any of these new cod games
I feel like I’m crazy because I never see anyone say it, but call of duty fundamentally changed after black ops 4. The engine changed, multiplayer became ingrained in warzone, the entire feel just shifted from arcade to pseudorealism, and for me, it’s never hit since. MW19 single handedly killed the game we all grew up with and loved. Even games like ghosts and IW felt like call of duty. These past 5 years don’t. But maybe I’m rambling because I’ve never heard anyone else say this.
Haven't touched the game in over a month now, SBMM is a shambles, maps are shite.
Give me old school MWR, MW2, MW3, BO1 and BO2 everyday of the week
3:00 this is normal for any new multiplayer game, though
how dope would it be if they did some minor updates to all the old games (remove input lag, hardware ban cheaters)
then did a weekly rotation of 3 or 4 different old CoDs (to force servers to be well populated over the spread of all old CODs) then change to a new 3 or 4 per week
we could get them to stop trying to scam us, they wont have to barely try to make any new games: COD is done, its been done. Just hang up the coat and let us oldheads relive the glory days
Bro it’s insane lagging in a solo zombies match like how is that possible making the nebula grind a joke for me
Bang on with your points you’ve made. It’s crazy to think that COD is really burying its player-base as they are blatantly ignoring the community and I’ve never seen the franchise hit rock bottom.
Haven’t played COD since CW and will never do so again unless a big overhaul comes into effect
It's not dying at all where do you get this information from 🤣
Well said. Their goal isn't to maximise fun by making a good game, it's to maximise profits by selling bundles. That's why the whole thing feels so cheap and poorly executed. It's incredibly frustrating because there's no reason why we shouldn't have games that surpass the old classics by now. Imagine if they had continued to innovate, had a passionate team, and cared about their games and players (many of whom had supported COD for years). Their last few releases are particularly desperate and pathetic. They can't even get the naming conventions right (looking at you, MW3 2023, with MW2 2009 maps) let alone release a playable game. They are truly incapable of reaching the heights of COD 10+ years ago thanks to corporate greed, so it's time for them to go. What a waste.
I feel like every year around Christmas time this happens. Devs go on Holliday breaks, the work being done is limited so a lot things will be unaddressed until the new year. It’s a shame cause it should be peek time for cod rn but it’s just isn’t for the reasons you stated
They should release a 2 in 1 game : MW2 and MW3. I mean online when you get to choose the map, you literally choose which game you’re gonna play at the same time (depending on the map). That would be sick
I play Mw3 about 3-4 times a week, how have I not been in a game with you yet lmao, loving the content recently dude
the only COD i'm still playing daily is MW 2019, and then go back onto MW3 (2011) and a little bit of BO3 every so often
Cods like a vending machine there's always an empty spot
We’re on team Unfortunate with the Road to Commander series on the O.G. Releases
The first week of bo6 felt like old cod, but I think I’m just done done now lol. I’ll be on marvel rivals for now
Quit cod years ago after MW19 and moved to apex (which has many problems of its own), but it is still more fun than current COD for me
thats what happens when they prioritise sbmm over everything else ffs
why does it seem like such an impossible thing for them to release a game like mw2 and mw3 again?! remove diving, tweak the graphics a notch and enjoy the profit?!
Nice work on the 2 MOABs!
This vid was much needed
So I downloaded the trial that was offered on Playstation+, booted up the game, and didn't make it pass the weapon class setup. There were so many attachment options and perks that I just gave up right then and there.
Black Ops 1 on Xbox is like the last standing outpost for good Call of Duty. You can still find lobbies relatively easy, and hackers are very rare (most hackers are on Bo2, mw3 or waw).
The good thing is that we can still play good old cods. 2007-2012 the best era💪
To be completely honest here, Activision won't stop threatening legal action against the modding community with the way they are going. What the community should be doing instead is building a COD-competitor game off of a different engine that uses nothing from Activision so there is no legal foot to stand on to take down the projects. The community is incredibly talented and obviously knows how to make a great game and if they can use a different engine and other assets, then they really can build something to kill COD.
thank you for saying this out loud bro... c'mon people... share this!!
They will work on bug fixes/patch the game when they figure out how to monetize it.
On top of everything they killed the only playable playlist (10v10) by adding in the small slop maps into the list :(. It was the only thing that kept me playing MP. You had some of the less bad maps in that list but now? Ugh
EDIT: Also Kernel level anti-cheat coming in season 2. GG thats it for me with new cod releases.
Helldive Forunate! Although it gets old after a month.
Cheating Bo6 is crazy
I told myself that I wasn't gonna get Black Ops 6, 2 months before it's released & I still stand by it. I knew the game wasn't gonna be good, I knew they weren't gonna listen and they paid the price for it. And look where's it at now. This shouldn't be surprising to anyone. It wasn't for me..
Its so simple to revive cod its crazy and in the long run they will be much more profitable. But they focus on short term gains. Make warzone seprate, and go the og route with multiplayer. When the game is good again you can still sell micro transactions
People who miss the old call of dutys, or old retro games, whats stopping you form playing them right now?
Man we really had it great from Cod4-BO2, Cods after that just felt off imo.
My friends and I have been really enjoying Marvel Rivals, I'm not great at it but it's nice to chill/game with the boys and not have heavy SBMM.
