I think it started before Fortnite got very popular, but I hear what you're saying. The over-saturation of forced battle royale modes and battle passes got really really bad, and we're still stuck in it. The monetization and gaudiness of everything in gaming now was gonna happen regardless of Fortnite I think.
And woke effect aswell
Can't blame Fortnite when Call of Duty started the micro transactions BS around Advanced Warfare time(2014) and Fortnite came out in 2017. It's all Activision's fault

Art direction fell off but the actual gameplay improves with each iteration. the “Call of duty” in the title isn’t a good reason to hate on it
I'll never forget when my grandpa told me stories of the normandy beach landings. Thousands of american soldiers opening loot crates, pistol grips littered the beaches for miles 😢

It was the blurst of times back then.

My top comment. You can't even do this in Counter Strike anymore.
The thing is, they need you to see this so newbish players have the thought of "mhh he plays better than me and has this skins, imma buy them as well".

Same. The first 2 minutes of the video felt like 10 or something
Same. When the video started to change theme I said "Wasn't this around 10 min long, how do we have time?"
I hate the fact that everything needs to be goofy and colorful now.
Even war isn't something serious anymore.
Bro why would you make a multiplayer slop shooter gritty and depict the horros of war 😂?
It only makes you wonder when the day will come if we need to fight a war. How would this current generation handle it if all they see is goofy colors and marvel-like humor in their movies and tv? One has to seriously wonder
@@adzhadow It's not particularly about "depicting the horrors of war" but rather just playing it straight. Minus a few easter eggs, the old games didn't goof around with the theme and aesthetics. Even camos were relatively grounded, usually being -- well, *camouflage* paintjobs instead of abstract art that animates across the gun. "Realism" isn't really the proper word: It was aesthetically cohesive and aesthetically grounded in a familiar world to the average player.
@@adzhadow You clearly do not understand the difference between artistic direction/consistency and realism. We just want soldiers to look like soldiers, not clowns with pink hair and guns that do not look like entire RGB palette

Crowbcat doesn't say a word but says so much
So much bullshit. Only focuses on negativity because people without nuance crave it. It’s a multiplier. This is all very petty.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 Before I just paid for the game and got the full experience. Now it's all microtransactions. They've turned what was once a video game into a shop for silly stuff. Every 2 or 3 years they release another COD with the same payment methods. An industrialized franchise being a cash machine. They pay more in publishing than in development. There are so many negative factors that the positive things are almost nothing.
if you know crowbcat is all about negativity then why are you here?
maybe the problem is that you crave negativity so you see it everywhere

@@FlamespeedyAMVThat’s taking it way too far. It’s a video game dude, not everyone is gonna care about battle passes and skins and are just gonna buy it. I’m not saying it’s right, but these are also normal people. That’s just being overdramatic.
@@Bubba1025
Normal people don't buy microtransactions, social rejects with gambling addictions do.
The worst part about growing up is seeing new generations completely accepting this because they never knew something else.
On point. That is the reason why Cod will never be the same anymore.
Its not the young folks fault
I guess is it really a bad thing if kids aren’t growing up seeing graphic depictions of people getting shot, hung and immolated? WaW shows the horror of war extremely well, but there’s a difference between just showing something and actually saying something about it. Cod isn’t an anti-war series and it isn’t making anyone turn anti-war, either. It seems like people want that kind of imagery back just because that’s the level that they’ve been desensitized and normalised to, and because they feel like they’re being patronized for not having it. I just find it weird that brutality and violence is considered ‘mature’ when it’s just showing it for showing its sake. It feels like people are having a tantrum about not seeing arms get blown off because that’s the ‘reality of war’, but they don’t actually give a crap about war, or stopping wars from happening - they’ll just play Multiplayer and zombies. I think the series can take itself seriously without having to go to the extremes that it did in the past.
@@magicalunderscoreleaf i share your opinion. Its an adult game. But most players are Kids i guess
@@magicalunderscoreleaf So actually showing the horrors of war is more desensitizing than making a meme of it? Lmao
I guess we should stop making War movies as well. Can't let anyone see how brutal conflicts actually are. Pretend it doesn't exist and just cover it with rainbows and teletubby outfits.
And if you actually played the older series, you would know it was anti-war which makes your entire point moot.
Not sure if they are an outlier but my kids tend to prefer games from the early 2000s despite being born long after.
From Call of Duty to Clown on Duty.
Love this comment made me Lol xD. So sad to see a franchise when i was younger that was so captivating and creative with such compelling story telling. Games that we thought would only get better and better and looked forward to seeing that happen with better graphics. How wrong we all were when we were younger. It went from a game with a serious story with loveable characters. Enjoyable multiplayer and casual zombies to a in some cases no campaign at all or a very trash campaign with no effort. A nerdy sweat fest zombies story and a multiplayer that's an eyesore for anyone over the mental capacity of a 12 year old. Hard to be immersed in a game that has a fucking minaj and characters from the boys. I told my dad to not even bother buying the new cod cos he'll just be too disappointed.
Perfect for Clown World 2024!

@@I_H_M_N Do you ever get tired of spamming the same comment since your so butthurt over one video?
Because...you are?
The sad thing is that no one remembers Medal Of Honor anymore either. Those old games, despite having some silly moments every once in a while, were built on solemnity and respect towards the lives lost in ww2. Look at missions like Arnhem Knights, the setpieces of ruined cities, the men falling as they fight alongside you, the civilians caught in the middle of it, all accompanied by the glorious soundtrack. It really left an impression on me as a small kid about the horrors of war
MOH Frontline was incredible! Arnhem Knights was one of my favorite missions but the D-day landing is the best I've ever seen in game.
@AdamBorseti absolutely. The D-day starting mission is incredibly intense even for today
Well, yeah. The old CoD games were competing with Medal of Honor. Now they're competing with games like Fortnite.
Medal of Honer tip of the spear and following dlcs are goated for their authenticity and quality
Beautiful games
So glad WaW gets the recognition it deserves these days.
Its hilarious how it is technically the first game in the Black Ops series though
Reznov appears in WaW, Blacks Op 1 and Black Ops 2. All of them are masterpieces. Coincidence? I doubt it.
@@haroldhughesyo besides the original 3 cod games, it's the only one that takes itself seriously. Rest are Michael Bay action schlock.

@@akuisbestgirl2448 Reznov was such a goated character. His lines about how someone should read the journal and how stalin had no need for heroes are very memorable imo.
Modern cod couldn't create someone like him.
@@whodatninja439 1-3 and 5 were the only ones that cared about a somewhat historically accurate retelling of history. That doesn't mean that 4, bo1, mw2, and 3 etc did not take themselves seriously, they were still great games (bo1 having arguably the best campaign out of any call of duty game) and I wouldn't consider them cringe or stupid at all. The series only went cringe and stupid after they took it to space.
i mean, WaW is jewish fanfic, but otherwise good.
He must have hit things real close to the mark to stir everyone up like this. Holy crap, I've never seen so many people passionately defend multi-billion dollar corporate slop.
Because what has happened to this franchise is the same kind of conditioning you see on popular streaming sites, movies, corporate job training videos, and throughout social media. In my eyes it is an evil disguised as "good and fairness." The purpose it serves is to distract and distort reality.

WAW was art… you wouldn’t get it🫃🏿
I try to enjoy what energy is provided from the entertainment I engage in…but I grew up with original COD. I know better.
The energy on those games were so good. People these days are too apathetic to really understand.
Remember when BO1 had simple face paint customization?
Nothing bright pink, no cartoon characters running around. It felt semi-realistic. Those were the days….
I also miss the severity of the campaigns. They used to be gripping, have characters you hated to see go. My last COD was the reboot of MW, i think its the 2017 one idk, but that campaign was just so uninspired and boring. There were no dynamics like Reznov and Mason.
@@nutmeg9005dude modern warfare was fire
Remember Advanced Warfare? that game had such good customization, it was so in-depth. Sure there was some goofy cosmetics but a lot of it was realistic and tactical.
@@CASA-dy4vs No it wasn't zoomer.
@ zoomer? I’m young enough to be your grandchild.
don't forget the original CoD4 has some serious dark/desolate vibes - the crash site after the nuclear detonation, and the missions in Pripyat
COD4 was a depressive/moody game visually. That's why it worked so well. It tried to show you that war isn't a good thing. Now ? The characters cheerfully pewpew and run with colors everywhere.
I still remember playing all these years ago how bad I felt when the nuke scene happend. Then the aftermath was even worse.
That part fucked me up as a kid. Seeing the devastation of a nuke and thinking "Oh I'm far enough away from it, I'll just get out of the helicopter and- wait, why am I dead?"
I immediately have gone back to play the dark ones as I was planning on this to be my call of duty retirement, but it was so fucking disappointing. It wasn’t like Cold War, mw2 is so good now in comparison (the og one not new one)
The new cod players these days would claim cod4 is ‘milsim’
Call of Duty wasn't making light of war back then. Now it's akin to laser tag.
If I can don my tinfoil hat for a minute; I think Call of Duty is trying to make young people think that war's a game. We haven't seen WW3 pop off yet, it's just been small sandbox escapades since Korea. Call of Duty might get a wake up call when the big pop off happens and no one wants to think about war in their hobby anymore. ie. War is glamourous to those who haven't experienced or were threatened with it.
Posted this to the CoD subreddit and the mods took it down shortly thereafter. Gotta maintain that echo chamber!

I wouldnt go as far as to say that over someone's opinions on call of duty lol @pvprangergod4024

Just so y’all know Infinity Ward nor Treyarch have any Og developers at least in the director department so we ain’t never going back to the old days.

@@georgie2844 Well, to be fair, 343 was shit from the start
2:28 for people that don't know the two dudes are Jason West ( left) and Vince Zampella (right).
They were the founders of Infinity Ward and the creators of Call of Duty.
They were fired by Activisions CEO Bobby Kottick in the middle of 2010.
They essentially got stabbed in the back, since they were about to take IW independent again and also take the MW IP with them.
That's why MW2 up until a few weeks before launch didn't have COD in the title.
Kottick and the board out of panic for losing their money makers ( remember 3arc didn't have a own sub IP at this point) looked for a reason to break the agreement they had with Vince and Jason since they delivered on their part with the incredible success of MW2.
What happened was is that Kottick fired them for a breach of trust and also didn't pay them and the other devs the royalties for MW2.
Shortly after the huge IW exodus happened with like 50% of the team leaving with Vince and Jason.
They formed Respawn Entertainment shortly after.
And then went on to make two extremely good games, and the makings of a third pretty good game.
Then that third grew out of control into the same exact mess you're seeing in this video. Colorful slop and no cohesion.

@@Evolution-Is-A-Blatant-Lie bo2 was back when cod was on form though before ghosts came out and drove the franchise off a cliff
@AleK0451 I hope you remember the fanbase was divided when the BO2 trailers were out, and they hated the futuristic aspect of it. Of course, the game did sell AFTER the release, but a lot of players jump shipped then. I was one of those people but then eventually bought it when it was on sale. Had a blast but still preferred MW2 and MW3.
BO2 was the birth of new players being introduced into the COD franchise while the WAW and Modern warfare OG's were alienated. No coincidence that gane over saturated the colorful skins and sillyness of zombies. Dont blame Ghost or Infinite warfare. BO2 started this, and Im shocked no one remembers the back lash this game had when it was announced.
@@Evolution-Is-A-Blatant-Lie i thought the marketing was weird and the future aesthetic was getting away from what cod was supposed to be, but they did ground it in reality with the 80s missions and weapons and i figured the bright skins were no more tasteless than the gold skins of previous games, if you were serious about not making your gun look goofy you wouldn't use a skin at all, but yes true the context of release is forgotten
Cold War was the only exception after BO2

So much passion and creativity was shown in the World at war Campaign, they pretty much turned world war 2 into a horror game.
One of, if not the best in the series. It shows how WW2 was, brutal and terrifying for all that were involved.
I notice that the end messages are from CoD WW2 from 2017. Not a perfect game but the last CoD game to be serious.

TF2 looks like Black Hawk Down by comparison
tf2 had a collective vision with a very distinct art style which would have been headed by a creative lead.
cods just bland with gayness thrown in. you can tell it doesnt know what it is it has no soul.
The problem is TF2 actually has a very distinct style and tone that gives it identity and soul. COD lost that well over a decade ago

The franchise was cooked the moment they had you opening loot boxes on Omaha beach, you know, the place where D-day had the most deaths. A “neat” game mechanic where everyone in the lobby could watch you do it and also get inspired to pull their own loot boxes.
Facts.
They did what
And that was 8 years ago lol
IMO the franchise was cooked when the original Modern Warfare (or maybe MW2) released. At this point the COD series started pivoting from stories rooted in reality about how despite a war's atrocious events, there can be camradery and bravery to Michael Bay in video game format. I'd already started to check out of the series by this point.

Modern Warfare and the second one to a lesser degree as well

The adult men who obsessed over and collectively spent billions gambling for goofy ass, colorful weapon skins for CSGO (long before any of these ridiculous games released with an infinite amount of money to be made selling garbage to players) are to blame for all of this.

I'm still waiting for a Hexen 3 from raven. Its about time they stop sitting on that serie. It was nice in the start, but apart from the first three in the cod series, never played the rest. Now its up in 22nd game or something. but i have my doubt it wouldve been the same as other hexen games, and probably ended up "soulless" too. I happened across a live broadcast from raven once, and i randomly wrote, "Hexen 3, when?" but what caught me of guard i think one of them knew what those games are, because he read it loud and chuckled but dismissed it as quickly. It suks when greed is a driving force behind games
I left years ago, those first two minutes were an excruciating watch.. had no idea things had got that bad. Man, WaW was incredible.
Yep it really has gotten bad.
i quit after bo2, my friends dragged me into trying bo6 on gamepass. worst couple of hours i ever spent in a game, wish i was exaggerating
I've given up on Western AAA games as a whole. All the greed, pseudo-activism, and pandering to brain-rotted children chews my very sanity. Fuck that noise. I'm taking my money elsewhere.
I left after BO3, and only played Cold War since then.
Took a break after BO1 to do IRL life stuff, came back and was greeted by rainbow hair and emotes. So glad I havent bought a recent Actislop games.
If someone told me this was an unironic ad for the new game, I would've believed it.
Just clicked in my head all this "War trivialization" is happening not only in games - like, did y'all noticed how many armies now have official tiktok accounts they posting funny videos on daily?
Most armies are a token force and seen as a public service rather than a warfighting organization.
isra hel
To be fair, in Finnland they really do fun shit most of the times. Jokes aside, this is true and this is why of the many reasons why I don't like the military.
People nowadays cry over actual politics being put in games and such, but never did I see cry them about militaries at video game conventions.
What I am trying to say is that many instituions tried to infiltrate gaming spaces to get us to join them. For exampe at the Gamescom many years prior the Bundeswehr had their official stand trying to get new recruits. In my mind I would love to seperate these things, I am not judging people that want to join the military, but I'll I judge recruiters fishing where are vulnerable and deceiptive people.
Does "trivialization" relially matter if CoD had always been getting funds from US army and been used as a recruiting tool?
Pretty sure the 360 no scope mlg quickscope, racial slur, camper fps trivialized war too by making it a fun videogame about war that sqeakers always loved

Call Of Duty in its prime had a reputation of a ridiculous Hollywood action movie, even that being so the writing was competent, the characters were compelling and the narratives were interesting. Call Of Duty today still has that reputation but none of those positive aspects, instead being replaced with recycled nostalgia and pop culture references.
" recycled nostalgia " that is literally what you fans beg for??? and it's slop, the campaign in MW can be gritty and really cool which the campaigns was praised for but this video ignores all that to show the silly multiplayer mode.
@@Zane-jk9stone thing also to note is that back in the day its not like WAW players had some profound respect for the horrors of WW2 or the setting of the multiplayer, we still ran around and shot each other, raging, blowing each other up and laughing when we got revenge on a camper. I do greatly appreciate the attempt at realism and grittiness in the campaign, but I’m not 100% sure that it really translated into a valuable message for the players. The “real war isn’t like call of duty” mantra has been around since CoD’s golden age.
@@Zane-jk9st who exactly is begging for it? the people who played the originals? it’s not their fault activision decided to reboot the franchise and started putting in nostalgia bait on their own accord. people aren’t asking for recycled nostalgia; they’re asking for it to be done RIGHT.
@@CoolDrifty Agreed. This whole "WAW is 2deep4u" phenomenon is relatively recent, and it's only because nu-COD is so outrageously cartoonish that it's easy for older zoomers to pretend that the COD games they grew up with are worth more than they artistically merit. If COD fans were actually serious about playing games that actually respected the WWII setting, then the Brothers in Arms series would still be alive.

You think two frames or four frames depict the real horrors of war when you already know you're playing a video game on your couch ? 😂😂 This is great propaganda / excuse for some yall to join the military.
These videogames have always been about glorifying violence and the American military and it's global intervention. Just because the media landscape has changed and a new wave of children fall for different things doesn't mean it's all newly propaganda.

Man, World at War was an absolute masterpiece. A dark, gruesome, gritty, and artistic telling of the world's most devestating and unforgettable conflict.
It's just crazy to compare what we have now to this. This game was such an amazing piece of art, and it really shows how bad and pointless games are now and how impactful and meaningful games were and can still be as an artistic medium.

This is extremely flawed logic. I haven't bought a CoD game in over 10 years, but they appeal to enough people so they sell. The people complaining about how far the game has fallen aren't the people buying it. Sorry to take your "gotcha" away, but it's not that simple.
Ironic how every shooter back then tried to imitate CoD in style and aesthetics and now CoD is now imitating Fortnite with ridiculous skins and collabs.
They are so lucky the IP is widely known because if it was any other game, it would have gone under real quick.
And you know what, I would do imitate Fortnite too.

If you wonder why everything is all a Fortnite fever dream combined with wahmen/mary sue power, the new era for these companies are the reasons why.

There was a time when developers were trying to turn videogames into a serious art form and we didn't appreciate it until it was too late
I always did back in the day. My favorite games are/were games that did a lot with so little, such as FF7, FFT, Xenogears to name a few. All they had back then was an untested device called a Playstation and very little storage space on each game disc, yet look at the storylines, imagery, and music those games brought us. FFT could almost be played on a Super Nintendo for crying out loud, but it still managed to just deliver to the senses in spades.
When people refused to criticize & stop buying Squaresoft games after they fell off in 2000, it set the precedent for the rest of the gaming world: Here's the blueprint on how to monetize mediocrity.
Now AAA devs prefer mediocrity, because they can never come up short of expectations again, and people will keep buying regardless. It's the same model that government employees/agencies use to keep their jobs.
It is a serious artform, what are you talking about??
Read Dead 2 not serious enough?
Cyberpunk?
Space Marine?
God of War?
This War of Mine?
Countless other beautiful, enchanting games that can be counted among the best works of art of all time?

@@polemanmikemost of these are aaa slop too but better
I did.
The Fortnite-ization of gaming was inevitable. Unregulated casinos for kids make far too much money for investors to consider anything else
Though I feel I must point out that Call of Duty used to be a franchise famous for being generic slop. Like, back in the day games would get compared to CoD as an insult. CoD used to be the gaming equivalent of what Marvel movies are today. Only yearly sports game releases used to be considered worse and even then CoD was the butt of the joke far more often.
While you’re not wrong about CoD’s release cycle being mocked by gamers even from back in the day, you can’t deny that the devs at least put effort into making each title stand out from the rest in the franchise somewhat or at the very least have them have a believable and serious setting.
For example, Black Ops 1 had an exceptionally good story that fit with its Cold War setting (psychological warfare, number stations, sleeper agents, etc.). The Modern Warfare trilogy, where all 3 games play almost exactly the same, also focused on having a serious story with character development and also introduced one of the most legendary missions in video games (All Ghillied Up). WaW set out to showcase just how horrific a mass conflict like war can be, and it did so perfectly.
It was just popular to hate on CoD. They weren't bad games.
When they started doing historical revisionism by putting modern LA citizens and women in real historical battles, it was the death knell for the franchise, and that style of game.
@@bluedistortions Popular case of people not realizing how good they actually had it at the time.
Cod also had a lot more major fps competition at the time and the sea of gray color shooters was still in effect so it was an easy target to ridicule.
I remember when og mw3 was viewed as the black sheep but when compared to the new mw3 the writing for characters like Makarov makes the old version look like Shakespeare.
Waw was also viewed as "just another dull ww2 shooter" after cod 4 dropped yet now that its had time to marinate in people's minds they realize just how hard the devs went for the game and the dreary visuals actually help the games tone and atmosphere.
I still miss being a generic soldier and not some hero shooter wannabe.
Now that we've seen "le quirky and colorful cosmetic" call of duty it makes sense a lot of the older fans came to miss the older style.
Nah, they happeend around the same time. Played since CoD1 and it was never considered 'slop' by the masses until around BO2/MW3. CoD4 to this day is one of the greatest shooters ever crafted especially on PC. They got progressively worse since COD2 which IMO was the peak. CoD4 was just the first break into the mainstream and when investors realized the gains to be had.
sir you have no idea what you’re talking about saar

@@Afgrahamistan If you were 4 years old when CoD 4 came out, you'd be old enough to drink, grandpa. Those of us who were 13 at the time turned 30 this year.
They were peak CoD, at the very least. The 360/PS3 era of multiplayer FPS games stomped all over the Fort-Lite aesthetics, silent lobbies, DEI inserts, and battle passes of modern shooters.
The toning down of mature themes, grimness, and underlining warnings in story for the sake of reaching a “broader audience” has become numbing. It’s exhausting seeing franchises which start unapologetic in their depiction of violence, death, war and other tense topics to become almost cartoony in theme. One liners and marvel style humor breaks, safer characters, pop culture inserts.
I think the cherry on top for this would have been to end it with a compilation of end credits from old cod games when they used to thank veterans and active soldiers on duty for their service.
Writers cant take their work seriously anymore. None of them have the courage to write a story that genuinely means anything because insecurity runs rampant in the generation of writers graduating college and getting jobs at big studios. Everything has to be soaked in irony and madness because holding genuine beliefs and standards is cringe.
This. I also hate how every character in shooters now has to be a hero shooter wannabe who can only speak sarcastic quips instead of genuine lines that fit their situation.
Youre getting mad at the wrong person. It's the executives who call the shots and make sure everything is shot to shit now not the person who's at the writing table wishing they could actually put something meaningful in the game instead of the horse shit their boss wants and expects out of them.
@@bananapeppers5105 It's a mix of both. The execs want money. To get money they have to jump through Fink's ESG hoops. To jump through Fink's ESG hoops, they have to hire writers based on their beliefs, race or gender, not on their skills.
@@bananapeppers5105I’d say you’re both right. The current generation of writers seem to have received an abysmal education. So many want to subvert expectations rather than meet them to be ‘interesting’ and ‘unique’. So many come from comfortable middle-class families and haven’t started a family or done anything else that can develop your character, so they can’t write serious people in serious situations well.
However, it’s ridiculous that the corporate executives in the gaming industry are giving such inexperienced writers so much responsibility and influence. Corporate executives have pushed out so many of the talented people that made the games we love and replaced them with far less talented people.
Many companies claim to do this in the name of ‘change’ and ‘diversity’ and while this may be partially true, I think by far the biggest reason is that talented game writers and developers have more power. They expect more money, better treatment and greater creative freedom from executive meddling. It’s especially sad because many of the inexperienced writers could become much better working under experienced writers, but instead they’re left to create propagandistic slop. I think it’s really damaging the AAA gaming industry and the executives are happy enough to just keep sailing on a sinking ship.
@@bananapeppers5105Executives just want to make money. A lot of the garbage in modern games is created by talentless hacks amongst the rank and file devs, artists, and writers.
