I’m insanely bored of cod vids. This franchise is so beyond dead. I feel bad for the OG’s but it’s time to throw in the towel with this franchise. Enough is enough
Locking progression behind daily challenges is just a way to slow down. The game clearly recycled a lot of stuff from MW2 so they need a way to keep players from running through it all in a week or two. Should've been delayed or stuck with a DLC for MW2.
Big time L take this is by far the best unlock system ever yall just wanna hate on anything possible to hate on. U can drop into zombies n unlock level 50 weapons if u want. U can unlock stuff in what order u want. Plus it forces people to play objective to get the W if they wanna unlock stuff. By far the best unlock system not even close.
Unlock systems like this make games frustrating instead of fun. Modern day developers want their games to feel like a job that punish you if you dare spend time playing another game.
Dude you should get used to it I played 10 fiest and 10 Swat games in Halo infinite almost always drop like 20-30 kills on average with less than 10 deaths ,I lost 17 out of 20 games. In CoD at least you have advanced UAV and bloody Harrier.
Why do you feel bad? That’s like saying you feel bad for the person going back to their ex and the ex keeps on hurting them. Never feel bad, this is on them.
@@JD-ht8vreh, I actually enjoyed it in MW2. Used a lot of guns I wouldn’t have touched otherwise. It only sucked when the weapon I had to use REALLY didn’t mesh well with aggressive playstyles.
@@me6057 right, took the payout from activision, glazed their game. Now its out and instantly hating on it. And bro acts like just cuz he doesnt hide his scummy shit that makes it ok 💀
dude I was actually fucking blown away. Im already not buying this garbage after the travesty that was the campaign but if I had any hopes they might try and put some effort into MP this year they were immediately crushed
Sad to see cod not listen to the community year after year. I stopped playing after ghosts, started again in 2019 when mw came back. But now I think I’ll be checking out again.
Mw3 pushed me over the edge… I think I’m done. there’s not a single aspect of this game I enjoy. In the beta The movement was great, but it feels way different in the actual release.. it’s mw2 movement w slide canceling.
same im a huge die hard fan , but im so sick of the bullshit ,2019 was the only good cod in the past decade (bo3 zombies was decent and so was advanced warfare zombies surprisingly) , idk what happened to cod but im disappointed. they need to remaster bo1
Activision is dumb af. My last daily challenge is to get 2 kills with the Breacher Drone. But to unlock the Breacher Drone, you have to do 3 daily challenges. But I can’t do the daily challenges to unlock the drone, until I unlock the drone so I can use it to do the challenge? Wtf
Once I reached level 25 I went to the armory to unlock some stuff. When I got back to the menu to see what daily challenges I needed to complete one of them was flash 2 enemies with a flashbang, so I went to equip flashbangs, only to realize that that was also locked in the armory. So I literally couldn’t complete my daily challenges due to the new system…
Yeah unfortunately I had to use a default class that has the Semtex in order to complete the “ get 2 kills with Semtex “ daily challenge after realizing Semtex is locked behind the challenges… 😂

@@yodav9120 You may be right. I haven't watched birdman in years and I've stopped buying COD for even longer, so I couldn't agree or disagree about the trend. Just came back to the channel because a random memory came to mind. guess we'll see once the full review comes out.
This whole system was implemented into the game bc we had all those double xp tokens carry over. With this stupid armory system they can essentially dictate when you unlock something. Punishing the players and synthetically padding there numbers.
Sadly a lot of these cod TH-camrs be talking out of their ass. Soon as a new cod comes up it’s the same shit “This year is gonna be different, cause I can just feel it bro”
Every asset in cod is recycled at this point, mw2019 is not even that old and we are already seeing maps like khandour hide out make it’s way back. So sick of this
Helpful hint: The guns and equipment you extract with in zombies are unlocked for multiplayer. They have to be in your equipment slots and not in your backpack to unlock. Use your armory points on perks and other stuff like kill streaks. I also agree that the armory system takes too long to unlock stuff.
Once you view the decisions made in COD with the idea of making as much money as possible and not making a good game, a lot of these decisions make sense, sadly…
Black Ops 1 and 2 had the cod point system that allowed players to choose their unlocks but upon getting max level before prestige everything was available, that is certainly a system I have fond memories of. Not to be a total toad, but I’m seeing a lot of people complaining about how Call of Duty squeezes the skill gap as tight as possible, and they are the same people complaining about this issue. I feel that this little drip of recycled unlocks creates more of an mmo experience where if I put the time in to get the gear, I’m at a significant advantage over those who haven’t or who haven’t been as diligent to the grind as I have. I know I’m a filthy casual sbmm bot and I grinded my 1.2 k/d ass through to getting mastery camo for every weapon along with completing every prestige calling card up to 1150. With a game like this, the carrot on the end of the stick is what you make it because activision/blizz just want micro transaction money and they are going to basically give it away in bundles. Like how can they really expect players of an average to higher skill level to unlock things via wins when there’s an algorithm built into the game that prevents wins on a grand scale?
@@DisobeyZOGwhy do u think all the guns have fake names, and the designs are intentionally different from the irl weapons and the weapons in older cods. The publishers probably don't want to pay the licensing fees to use the actual guns
@@benjiweaver1549 yup i know... billion dollar company cant pay for licenses to get u propper gun models but want u to pay 70 bucks for it. would be fine for an indie game
The reason for this is to extend playing time so the developers will have more time to add updates into the game,, remember this, its to keep players to playing the game as long as possible,, thats IS the purpose of it
As someone who doesn’t play that much, i appreciate you talking about the people who don’t grind the game and are never going to get to use these guns or attachments most likely, i wish it was easier to unlock all this stuff :p
I wanted to slap my brother up side the head today. I was sitting on the toilet and I heard the confirmation purchase sound on the Xbox. This fool literally paid for MW3. Mortal Kombat 1/ Spiderman 2 is out and this is what you buy?!
I feel ya there 😂 My dad is off work for surgery recovery, and doesn't get to play games much; so has been out of the video game loop for 5+ years. I woke up yesterday around 10am to him telling me he bought the vault edition MW3 for us to both play, just to have something to do while he's resting. I wanted to immediately say "Oh fuck, what did you just do!?" I kept calm and told him lets get it, just to give it the benefit of doubt. Played 2 hrs and both of us just decided Bf2042 was better than this, and we actually enjoy playing that all night. Being an Anti-Tank mine jihad like in bf4 has us cracking up
I love how they emphasize sbmm to “protect the casual player” and then put in a progression system that could take the average casual player literally MONTHS to unlock everything. Glad I didn’t buy this year.
As someone that doesn’t play COD, do the fans of this series not view it as problematic that you can reach max level after playing for only 10 hours like Birdman did? Is it even really a flex to be “max level” if you can get to that point after one weekend??
Yes because after hitting max level you can prestige, resetting your level and getting a cool symbol next to your name. At least that's how it's always worked in the past I'm not sure if they've changed it or not in the most recent game.
The idea behind the system sounds pretty cool, since it allows you to unlock things early (from what I heard) that are unlocked much later. But, it would have made far more sense to have the original system supplemented with the new one. Then just make the challenges a bit harder or grindier for much later stuff.
nah not early, silence sneakers you unlock at level 25, similar to other games. and then you cant use it, you only unlock the choice to activate it and do 3 daily challenges so you cant do it on that day. All my killstreaks are locked, all my equiptment is locked, everything pre much
@@kingkitty026 I popped double XP tokens and started camo challenges always my first thing get alot of XP. Zombies seems alot slower but I played alot of zombies too
So basically if everyone is doing what they can to unlock weapons that means everyone will unlock them at the same time and everyone will be using the same gun that day
@@JudeDude409gta is a different story there has been so many money glitches and modders to the point everyone is rich af on there and rockstar knows it so they had to make everything hella expensive to combat that. it never used to be like that until all the glitches and mods. I bet when gta6 drops shit will be a lot cheaper in game
@@aomais_ sheeeeeesh must be nice 😂 can’t relate. I stopped playing because they just made everything so expensive and I couldn’t keep up with making money
I'm still struggling to understand why anyone plays COD anymore. It's been on an endless fall since like BO2 (Maybe MW3 the older one). Not to mention the whole thing that happened with Nickmercs, why is anyone even playing it anymore?
Personally I love the new unlock system. First time getting wins is incentivized. Maybe less people camping in corners in domination, not caring whats happening with the score. The best unlock system cod has seen imo. hopefully its kept this way for games to come
The idea is not terrible, but the execution is. I was unaware that crucial gameplay items were locked behind daily challenges. A big complaint about MW2 was that it was boring and there was no reason to play. Also, winning games was not incentivized in MW2 so nobody would play objectives. This idea forces people to play the objectives and gives an incentive to continue to play the game. The community complains that the game is boring and there is nothing to unlock. And then Sledgehammer gives the players a reason to play the objectives, win games, and unlock items and the community still complains!
And let's not forget the atrocious bug related to the daily challenges. The game will randomly STOP tracking daily challenge progress, making it impossible to unlock anything until the next day when the daily challenges reset and you restart the app (it can happen again anyways)
@@Billabongbabalog I never said that. I just gave you a solution to a problem. Its here so we have to deal with it. Probably something SG doesnt even have anything to say about (Activisions decision to boost player retention)
Xclusive ace did the math, n assuming your completing 3 daily challenges, and then win 5 games an hour (so 3 points a day plus 5 points every hour) it would still take about 35 ish extra hours of playtime and thats assuming you play alot of hours n get alot of dubs. Me as a full time uni student with a part time job. In probably gonna take like a month or 2 to complete everything cus i only play a few hours a week (not even on a daily basis)
i wanted to unlock the breacher drone today, and to unlock it, i had to do my daily challenges, one of the challenges consisted in getting 2 kills with the breacher drone
There’s weapons, such as the first sniper, that you also have to complete challenges for the literal attachments and ofc it’s all the aim speed ones it’s ridiculous
welp seems like it was the worst time to jump into cod again haven't played for 5-6 years and i have to say: everything is overwhelming the menu is so complicated, there is so much to do and see in the maps and it is kinda hard to navigate around i watched a bunch of cod the last years on yotube but playing it and getting along with everything is really difficult but at least there is no "stress" in getting the camos and everything if you have to unlock so much stuff
Same, I haven’t bought cod since black ops 4 which I loved. Everything’s too much, the menu and everything, I have no idea wtf is going on half the time and this armoury thing is really sucking the fun out of the game for me. People are now telling me I can’t Prestige after I hit level 55 until I wait for a new season? The game is pretty difficult which I’m okay with but there’s just too much new systems for ranking up n shit n It feels extremely weird, even creating a class I can’t seem to get the hang of I just seem to keep pressing the wrong things and losing my bearings. I was expecting to be able to complete challenges to get calling cards I wanted but it seems like even that’s changed? I’m pretty disappointed, I had no idea they had changed so many things on the game that were not broken, it’s just an over complicated mess that I cannot get used to and I don’t understand what it’s necessary for. My girlfriend says she gets a sore head even looking at me going through the menu or creating classes or anything, don’t blame her. What was wrong with the more simple interface?
I thought it would be similar to Warzone 2. As someone who hadn't played COD since Verdansk in the original warzone, I found it absolutely ridiculous that now guns have over 15-20 attachments per slot, and only a handful can be unlocked just by leveling up, the rest force you to use an entirely different weapon and level those up as well. Crazy to me
This doesn't even include the fact that a lot of people are dealing with the fact that the daily challenges aren't tracking properly. I've been playing since the minute it came out for me and I still don't have one of these unlocks because nothing will work
It gets worse. Yesterday i finished 2 daily challenges but the 3rd challenge wouldn't track. It stayed at 0 out of 4 get three kills without dying. So until you finish the 3 daily challenges wins don't count
Honestly I don't mind the idea of this but the way I would personally implement it would be you can unlock everything by leveling up as normal but for dedicated players you can unlock certain things early by daily challenges. That way Activision still has the new method they insist on while still allowing players to earn stuff naturally through playing normally if they don't want to do dailies to unlock stuff
Placing any kind of progression behind wins, while simultaneously having one of the most egregious SBMM systems in existence is about as counterproductive as it gets.
I feel like they don't want people to play their games because the average player will just stop playing if it takes too long to play with the stuff they want.

Played 2 hrs and both of us just decided Bf2042 was better than this, and we actually enjoy playing that all night. Being an Anti-Tank mine jihad like in bf4 has us cracking up
@@emonsmorris8833 lol that's cray. I feel that. Maybe you guys can wait for the next cod. Maybe it's better
I love how they emphasize sbmm to “protect the casual player” and then put in a progression system that could take the average casual player literally MONTHS to unlock everything. Glad I didn’t buy this year.
You're not even taking into account that you have to wait for the daily challenges to refresh every single day after you complete them
I didn't even notice it until birdman pointed it out.
As someone that doesn’t play COD, do the fans of this series not view it as problematic that you can reach max level after playing for only 10 hours like Birdman did? Is it even really a flex to be “max level” if you can get to that point after one weekend??
Yes because after hitting max level you can prestige, resetting your level and getting a cool symbol next to your name. At least that's how it's always worked in the past I'm not sure if they've changed it or not in the most recent game.
@@ZxRipredxZit’s seasonal prestige so you gotta wait for seasons to prestige
@@ZxRipredxZ it hasn't worked like that since Black Ops 4...
@@TheRageLivesOn oh dang, well I haven't played cod in a few years.
The idea behind the system sounds pretty cool, since it allows you to unlock things early (from what I heard) that are unlocked much later. But, it would have made far more sense to have the original system supplemented with the new one. Then just make the challenges a bit harder or grindier for much later stuff.
nah not early, silence sneakers you unlock at level 25, similar to other games. and then you cant use it, you only unlock the choice to activate it and do 3 daily challenges so you cant do it on that day. All my killstreaks are locked, all my equiptment is locked, everything pre much
@@michaelbalnozan5229one of my daily challenges was to use a tactical insertion 3 times, which you unlock at lvl 45 I believe
We could also not artificially expand the grind of a game that already expects too much time and money from its players in the first place
@@michaelbalnozan5229 so you can't complete challenges before reaching the level what you doing to level up so fast we need to know
@@kingkitty026 I popped double XP tokens and started camo challenges always my first thing get alot of XP. Zombies seems alot slower but I played alot of zombies too
Ayooo fuck allthat why Black Noire *SWANGIN'* like that??😂😂
So basically if everyone is doing what they can to unlock weapons that means everyone will unlock them at the same time and everyone will be using the same gun that day
Im guessing their intention was player retention, the longer it takes to unlock things the more people have to play. Its scummy, but its a strat
That is exactly it. Just player retention, similar to how GTA makes everything so damn expensive so that you play longer to achieve things.
@@JudeDude409gta is a different story there has been so many money glitches and modders to the point everyone is rich af on there and rockstar knows it so they had to make everything hella expensive to combat that. it never used to be like that until all the glitches and mods. I bet when gta6 drops shit will be a lot cheaper in game
@@MoDollas_ fair but didn’t Rockstar take money away from the people who received money through cheating?
@@JudeDude409depends on how blatant people were in glitching, I’ve glitched probably around $200 million and haven’t been reset
@@aomais_ sheeeeeesh must be nice 😂 can’t relate. I stopped playing because they just made everything so expensive and I couldn’t keep up with making money
I'm still struggling to understand why anyone plays COD anymore. It's been on an endless fall since like BO2 (Maybe MW3 the older one). Not to mention the whole thing that happened with Nickmercs, why is anyone even playing it anymore?
No one cares about nickmercs
Nick who?
My daily challenges aren't even tracking
I've just been extracting everything out of zombies to circumvent the whole system
Lemme catch my son saying first
Lemme catch my son getting to old to understand basic technology and unlocking systems
Bros actually saying the same thing twice
Lemme catch my son not knowing the difference between to and too
“Great bulge” is crazy💀💀
0:35 they actually *(TROLL US)*
Personally I love the new unlock system. First time getting wins is incentivized. Maybe less people camping in corners in domination, not caring whats happening with the score. The best unlock system cod has seen imo. hopefully its kept this way for games to come
The idea is not terrible, but the execution is. I was unaware that crucial gameplay items were locked behind daily challenges. A big complaint about MW2 was that it was boring and there was no reason to play. Also, winning games was not incentivized in MW2 so nobody would play objectives. This idea forces people to play the objectives and gives an incentive to continue to play the game. The community complains that the game is boring and there is nothing to unlock. And then Sledgehammer gives the players a reason to play the objectives, win games, and unlock items and the community still complains!
If it was like CoD: WW2 people wouldn’t have an issue with it. You can do challenges to get skins for your gun or XP.
They probably want us to buy packs so we can use the guns without the hassle 😭🤣
And let's not forget the atrocious bug related to the daily challenges. The game will randomly STOP tracking daily challenge progress, making it impossible to unlock anything until the next day when the daily challenges reset and you restart the app (it can happen again anyways)
You can also extract the locked guns (And equipment) out of zombies. If you have this in mind this becomes much more easier to get everything
And you don't see the issue with playing one thing, but you need to go do this other separate thing to unlock the core things. Great.
@@Billabongbabalog I never said that. I just gave you a solution to a problem. Its here so we have to deal with it. Probably something SG doesnt even have anything to say about (Activisions decision to boost player retention)
Being max level and not having Semtex is crazy.
This thumbnail is goated. I love Bru and he was on one that whole week😭
i can’t be friends w anyone w keeps buying new cod games and complains
old man gonna get banned for that thumbnail lmaoooo
chris brousard thumbnail is crazy
Xclusive ace did the math, n assuming your completing 3 daily challenges, and then win 5 games an hour (so 3 points a day plus 5 points every hour) it would still take about 35 ish extra hours of playtime and thats assuming you play alot of hours n get alot of dubs. Me as a full time uni student with a part time job. In probably gonna take like a month or 2 to complete everything cus i only play a few hours a week (not even on a daily basis)
i wanted to unlock the breacher drone today, and to unlock it, i had to do my daily challenges, one of the challenges consisted in getting 2 kills with the breacher drone
Thumbnail with Broussard is legendary
There’s weapons, such as the first sniper, that you also have to complete challenges for the literal attachments and ofc it’s all the aim speed ones it’s ridiculous
welp seems like it was the worst time to jump into cod again
haven't played for 5-6 years and i have to say: everything is overwhelming
the menu is so complicated, there is so much to do and see in the maps and it is kinda hard to navigate around
i watched a bunch of cod the last years on yotube but playing it and getting along with everything is really difficult
but at least there is no "stress" in getting the camos and everything if you have to unlock so much stuff
Same, I haven’t bought cod since black ops 4 which I loved. Everything’s too much, the menu and everything, I have no idea wtf is going on half the time and this armoury thing is really sucking the fun out of the game for me. People are now telling me I can’t Prestige after I hit level 55 until I wait for a new season? The game is pretty difficult which I’m okay with but there’s just too much new systems for ranking up n shit n It feels extremely weird, even creating a class I can’t seem to get the hang of I just seem to keep pressing the wrong things and losing my bearings. I was expecting to be able to complete challenges to get calling cards I wanted but it seems like even that’s changed? I’m pretty disappointed, I had no idea they had changed so many things on the game that were not broken, it’s just an over complicated mess that I cannot get used to and I don’t understand what it’s necessary for. My girlfriend says she gets a sore head even looking at me going through the menu or creating classes or anything, don’t blame her. What was wrong with the more simple interface?
The benefit is the playtime and player retention. It has nothing to do with gameplay enjoyment, its for Activision KPI's
I’ve played CoD for awhile now so I’ve seen my fair share of garbage. But this? Imagine time-gating the unlock of PERKS BRUH.
Bro said: “Great bulge.. hard to miss that…” 😂😂
apparently, exfil'ing with it on you in zombies unlocks it
One of my daily challenges requires breacher drones which I need to unlock through daily challenges
Thumbnail is gold lmfaoo
Thumbnail is Max level brilliance 🔥
Not to mention that some of the challenges you can’t complete because they require you to use stuff that you have not unlocked yet
I thought it would be similar to Warzone 2. As someone who hadn't played COD since Verdansk in the original warzone, I found it absolutely ridiculous that now guns have over 15-20 attachments per slot, and only a handful can be unlocked just by leveling up, the rest force you to use an entirely different weapon and level those up as well. Crazy to me
My man birdman using Chris Broussard in the thumbnail is legends
0:20 I love how this map somehow looks WORSE in this game than it did in MW2019 4 years ago.
I didn't even recognize it at first. Why does it look like that?
This doesn't even include the fact that a lot of people are dealing with the fact that the daily challenges aren't tracking properly. I've been playing since the minute it came out for me and I still don't have one of these unlocks because nothing will work
Not only is it locked behind challenges but my challenges are glitched. It won’t let me complete them, so basically no weapons for me.
“I took a nice trip to New Zealand” 😂
0:53 had to replay that a couple times 💀
It gets worse. Yesterday i finished 2 daily challenges but the 3rd challenge wouldn't track. It stayed at 0 out of 4 get three kills without dying. So until you finish the 3 daily challenges wins don't count
The Chris Broussard thumbnail 😂😂
lmfaoo the thumbnail 😂😂😭
Honestly I don't mind the idea of this but the way I would personally implement it would be you can unlock everything by leveling up as normal but for dedicated players you can unlock certain things early by daily challenges. That way Activision still has the new method they insist on while still allowing players to earn stuff naturally through playing normally if they don't want to do dailies to unlock stuff
Chris Broussard thumbnail is wild lmao
Placing any kind of progression behind wins, while simultaneously having one of the most egregious SBMM systems in existence is about as counterproductive as it gets.
I feel like they don't want people to play their games because the average player will just stop playing if it takes too long to play with the stuff they want.
How do you have those stats with the insane amount of SBMM in this game?!
That thumbnail deserves some kind of award
On the brightside my blackcell gear carries over so i can at least good while unlocking nothing
