    One thing I never hear people mention is how amazing and intuitive the menus were.
    Nowadays navigating the menus feels like playing sudoku.
    Bring back simple menus.

    • @TheRetroBristolian
      @TheRetroBristolian ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Totally agree, I have recently revisited it and the sign of relief at menus you can use! Menu's that actually make logical sense. Compare this to the new MW2 and I can't even work out how to get into the game some days, pop ups for battle passes you seemingly can't get out of, cut scene videos announcing some new season I couldn't care less about. It's all changed and not for the better.

      Dude I hate every new games menu. It’s so overwhelming that I just don’t even read 90% of any of what’s on the screen and end up missing out on a lot of shit probably lol

    MW2 is the peak of console FPS gaming. Nearly every gun is good and fun to use and every single map was incredible. It still has the best kill streak system. The lack of SBMM and no season passes was amazing. We didn’t know how good we had it back then.

      I was just replaying it as the servers opened back up and needless to say I miss that. Lack of SBMM and having ACTUAL good games where I can stay with the ppl I just played with, make actual friendships and just an overall good time brings me joy and happiness.
      I really wish this type of gaming was back and available….

      I agree, however battlefield bad company 2, and battlefield 3 were fantastic games too. Huge maps, 64 player servers, destroy shit with tanks, blow tanks up, run people over with tanks, dominate with warplanes, man... The list goes on and on. Battlefield was so much fun and I had so many good memories playing that game.

      Heck yeah, I played so much Halo Reach (didn’t have a 360 for H3 until after Reach came out, but I’ve played tons of H3 since then) and MW2.
      My top games until like 2015-2016 were MW2, Halo Reach, BO1, and BO2.
      I’ve always been a big Halo fan, but CoD was hitting hard there for awhile. Now both series kinda suck compared to back then.

    MW2 was the game I played when I needed a break from Halo 3/ODST. I was a High Rise and Afghan DEMON. Between those titles and Battlefield 3, FPS games were in the best position to date. DLC was free and when they did charge for it, it was $9.99-$19.99 at most. Easy investment when you KNEW that the game was balanced and the player base was steadily growing. $70 got you a great game, extra maps and content for something you'd be playing for the next 3 years.

      MW1/WaW/MW2 - Halo 2/3/Reach/ODST - BFBC2/BF3/BF4 era was some god-tier days for FPS titles. The competition led to so much innovation and value per dollar that we have lost over the years as each game series has been catered to serve as many people as possible versus nailing down their genre. Halo to CoD to BattleField gave us nearly the full spectrum from arcade arena shooters to more open map sim-shooters.

    My most memorable experience from MW2 was the time I sent a friend request to a guy at the top of my team's scoreboard (I was one of those squeaker kids that always sent one to whoever did the best every game). The guy accepted my friend request, and I asked him to teach me how to be better at the game. Surprisingly, he agreed and brought me into a private match. We found each other, stood like 10 feet apart, and he told me to stick a semtex grenade on him. Somehow, while he stood completely still, I missed the semtex stick. He laughed at me and left the game. Good times.

    I ended up really liking it. Many hours spent playing it. The M4 and the P90 were my favorites.

    The midnight launch of MW2 was among the great gaming moments I will ever have. It wasn't hardcore gaming fans in line. It was just regular people around your local area instead. It was a real game to transition the medium to the mainstream. Its multiplayer remains the most addictive game I have ever played.

    In 2008, my dad got out of the army. In 2010 we got this game. It helped him a lot. Not only did I make friends online, but so did he. He bought some turtle beach x12s (not sure if that's right, it was the big sound canceling head set.) That really upped the fun we had. Especially when we got mw3. This Era is top tier gaming. Mw2, mw3, black ops, reach, halo 3... online gaming has gotten really bad. Fortnite was the worst thing for gaming. I have a love hate relationship with nostalgia

I played so much of that game i got all achievements in it. i grinded that multiplayer and zombies so much i have great memories of getting to wave 30 at 2 am on a Saturday night on Kino der Toten and being so tired and happy at the same time me and my friends beat wave 30 and celebrated. then we all died and lost wave 31. we sadly got off after that because we wanted some sleep to wake up at 7 am to go and play some more cod bo1. man call of duty has so much nostalgia in my life. thanks for the video because i did finally play MW2 last year and this video brought back fond memory's of BO1 and MW2. Keep up the great work and keep up making the great videos as always. thanks RS for the memory's. have a good day. :)

The Xbox days with my boys are some of the best memories of my entire life man. Endless laughs, endless stories, endless fun. There’s probably more memories I forget than remember. Life is precious, some of those friends are gone. We never get special days back, even if they don’t feel special in the moment. I wish I relished in the moment of these days a little more. God bless everyone, this game is the GOAT.

      Got a PS3 along with MW2 for Christmas when I was 11. I remember starting it up the next day and my dad told me there was multi-player (had never played multi-player fps until that point). I remember hopping on and my first game, a match of TDM that was almost finished on Skidrow. I went into the building with the turret and hopped and started shooting. I saw a guy entering the main building and shot him which ended up being the final kill and I remember asking my dad if they really were real people. As the final kill cam began, I begin hearing the opposing players swearing at me for camping the turret in the building. My life would never be the same from that day forward 😂.

    It blew my mind, I became so attached to it's characters, it was my addiction for the following year, I really couldn't stop playing- and this was one of the two CoD games where I leveled up to any prestige level (the other being Blops 2). It was really a cool sensation to feel that you've grinded so much.

    Honestly it was the only COD where every mode was a perfect vibe. No other COD did I wanna find the hidden intel collectibles in the campaign and do all the goofy trophies. Spec ops gave you the stars in missions to earn not just endless waves of zombies or enemy mercenaries. And of course the multiplayer where they (rare now days) let players run around with random OP junk and it all somehow balanced out instead of catering to crybabies. Cod certainly ain't prioritizing fun anymore even tho I would say its not as bad or boring as people claim.

I still get on multiplayer on my Series X now and then. “Wolverines!” will always be one of, if not my favorite campaign missions in COD.

    The fact this game was such a hit was because of how different this was from example COD4 and WAW. Those games were already a hit and amazing with attachments and killstreaks etc but then you had MW2 which felt way more full with the killstreaks, customizations, titles and emblems etc it was such a change

    What i miss is that all the maps feel different and kinda natural even when they weren’t, now most cod maps look like they put it in some random generator where is mashes and regurgitates crappy map. Like throwing grenades into a crowded room and trying to work out who’s body part belongs to after

      Yeah exactly lol there’s no character to any of the new maps that’s why they all get boring after 1 hour no game will ever be like mw2 cause devs don’t listen to customers like they use too

    What gets me is that from 2007-2013 seemed like it was a vast majority of people who did this. Everyone would play modern warfare. Go to school, rush home grab a snack and get straight to gaming that is if you got your homework done first, getting online and being able to chat with other people was so unique since Myspace and Facebook were relatively new so you had limited direct quick ways of meeting people. High schoolers would rail this stuff back in 2007-2011 and what seems like it was more common was since the US was still at War with Afghan and Iraq and these games for majority of campaign it was based on Afghan/Iraq terrain villages people and more. With that being said the US Military numbers were extremely strong and I believe that came from alot of these kids playing this games it inspired them. I was too young to really have live chat and all that stuff so nothing I can do there but I experienced it later in life and I caught a bit of that nostalgia feeling. Cool stuff

    2007-2011 games were all great. BLOPS2 was OK, but in hindsight, it was also the beginning of the end as COD got progressively worse afterwards. MW3 2011 was the last great game imo.

    This was without question the best call of duty game but with so many amazing facets of the game to extol you chose to talk about nonsense like "Nov 19th 2009. You just finished watching Spongebob and you were triggered because you only caught the very end of the show but now Fairly Oddparents is on and you really wanted a glass of Tropical Punch but your mom is making you drink milk with your bowl of hotdog slices and macaroni and cheese..."

    Ah, no wonder as a kid I was confused as to whether or not MW2 was a CoD title when I first got it. (Before I got to play it)
    The Call of Duty text on the case was so small, my little kid brain didn’t even realize it was there.
    I remember someone asking me if I had CoD and I said no. Then I said I had MW2 though, and they looked at me like I was an idiot. Lol
    I got MW2 when I first got my Xbox 360 in August of 2010. I played it so much. So many good memories.
