Thanks to everyone who's taken a look at the video! Let me know if you think scripted sequences make games better and which games you want me to investigate in future videos?
Game Brain I think the cinematic experience of fortnite is outstanding. Absolutely amazing place, spotless, and beds were made daily. Free breakfast was great as well. Would definitely recommend.
I remember it making the fuckin news and some of the early web based gaming news sites insisted they 'forced' you to play it, despite having the option to skip the level or never even see it.
@@BelviGER I got the game on launch, it was always skippable from the beginning. As soon as you went to play the campaign it asked "Yes I am okay with objectionable content" or some such, and you could say yes, or "no please skip this." I also remember it asking me again when I got to the level.
To the guy who made this level: you will probably never read this, but all ghillied up made me fall in love with fps games. Thank you for making this incredible level.
Try Stalker games the old trilogy and Anomaly. Anomaly is a free mod and its great Gamma is a modpack that can be installed over top of it and it makes it insane many hours to replay
Basically Stalker takes place within the Chernobyl exclusion zone and takes its story ideas from roadside picnic and the stalker film and blends it in to a more grounded experience. its a mix of shooter survival and horror. I don't really wanna give away the story too much if you've never experienced them. But literally the lore inside the zone is very impressive and honestly believable to some degrees on it. and then there's the anomalies the exist mutants and the various factions.
*"Leave it alone, it's just a wild dog"* Player shoot at the dog... An ominous howl is heard, and the feeling of regret is coming. In Modern Warfare 2, in the chapter "Contingency", Price does mention that he hates dogs. A clear reference to the event in Pripyat
The fact that this mission was so close to never being made yet it's easily one of the best missions in the franchise is absolutely insane, i'm not sure Modern warfare would be what it is without this mission nor would I even remember playing it as a kid like I do now. This mission was insane.
It shows you how even back then, game developers didn't know what makes a good game. It was the companies who were willing to take risks that made great games. Nowadays every studio is too scared to take risks so all newer games are cookie cut and suck
@@senorjose1671 nah man listen over the video again. The guy being interview said all the other developers chose this mission last over all the others and it was almost never made because of it. It was the publisher/ company that made them make it in the end
I love All Ghillied Up and One Shot, One kill. I'm only young but, I appreciate the detail that was put in and it's very accurate to Chernobyl and Pripyat. This game was too good for its time.
No doubt Templar Knight . Playing the remaster, I think the campaign holds up well. War Pig is still one of my favourite levels ever! What should I investigate next, though?
@@GameBrainOfficial Hmm, I agree with War Pig, it annoyed me at first but it was amazing. Staying with Modern Warfare, if you've not already maybe Crew Expendable or No Fighting in The War Room.
@@TheTaterTotP80 Well, in my experience I mean. I should have clarified that. I do agree there were better games, it just was too good for its time for me.
as someone who's been to Chernobyl and Pripyat the only thing id say negatively about the level is that all the buildings between Chernobyl and Pripyat are NOT that close to each other. I understand they have to do it because it's a game but it threw me off a bit
As someone who plays games for the single player story only, I love well done scripted levels. This was an amazing example of it being done incredibly well. I know a few other games took this style way too far where it became “press x to win”, whereas this level still had you feeling in control - there was still flexibility in how you took on each situation. COD4 lives on as an all time great for me, none of the future games in the series have been able to meet the standard it set.
The only mission that I've found to be more enjoyable then all ghillied up is clean house in the new modern warfare. These two are like the only missions I finished and was just taken away quite amazing
ThE RaGiNg GaM3R that or No Russian. That mission took a giant fucking step into the taboo. Not only that, Makarov’s plan for doing it was fucking genius.
For me the campaign missions in cod games that stood out are Vorkuta, one shot one kill, Heat, loose ends, cliffhanger, and the second part of hornets nest. I’m sure I’ve missed some too but I’ve always loved cod campaigns
The most amazing part is that if you play the remastered campaign, it's still better or at least as good as some recent games, that's how ahead of its time Cod4 was.
I think this mission is a perfect example to show the rest of the world that not all videogames are bad/too violent. Because games like MW will always be remembered like a great book or movie.
It really would of, but let's be grateful for what they did create for us. But it's awesome knowing that there was plans for them to enter that building, without this video we probably would never of knew of the idea in the first place.
Death I have dude, actually pretty impressed with it, not gonna lie... the gameplay and graphics are top notch... the campaigns story was kinda cliche but the gameplay Part of it was great
I played this mission at least 20-30 times. they storyline and scenery were really captivating. I remember lying in the grass when the unit and tanks passed by trying to breathe as silently as possible in real life. I was 12 years old back then and it made me fall in love with the whole cod series. I am 25 now and even if I don't have the time to play much anymore, I still think about the good old times, when the first thing I did after coming home from school was turning on my xbox 360, joining an online game with my clan mates and diving into another world.
its funny how he mentions that scene from golden eye being what stuck with and had a hand in inspiring this stealth mission because i feel like being a bit younger than him.. "all ghillied up" was the mission that got me hooked on stealth games and movies!
Good thing the new MW has a very nice story. And atleast i have been enjoying the multiplayer more than any cod in years. Probably because it feels so different. Change is good.
@@James-vj5hz I think the multiplayer just need some little improvements and make Spec Ops less harder. That big update at the end of November better do something, i love the MW series and want it to stay a succeed title.
I remember when the MW demo came out, with The Bog as the level - My computer could barely run it at that time, but I played the thing over and over and over, and got a new computer sometime after the release just for the game. And holy fuck did my brain go apeshit when I played All ghillied up for the first time through. It's just on another level than the rest of the game. Although the idea has been copied over and over in many games afterward, none of the levels had the sense of realism and immersion. They either felt forced or imaginary to the point of disconnect. But Pripyat is a real place and it looks like that... And before that, not many people knew about it, let alone walked through it. It really is a genius idea, created masterfully.
I had the demo too and played it for waaay too long. I remember when I tried to do everything in that demo (so much that I propably could be hired as a tester lmao). Then I started watching let's plays and when the All Ghillied Up mission rolled up I was sold.
I will never forget loading into that level and the shock when MacMillan stands up from the grass. Still is one of the coolest moments in gaming history and was the moment that CoD4 joined my top 3 FPS games up until that point.
Cpt. MacMillan was a character that I loved the most out of the whole MW series I remember being 8 yrs old and hoping that MacMillan didn’t die when the chopper almost killed him and later on i hoped he would return one day i was heartbroken when i found out that in the mission “All In” and i saw 2 men in Ghillie Suits i thought one of them was MacMillan but sadly it wasn’t. But he did kind of come back in MW3
This mission is among the most important inventions of all time. It's next to the invention of the wheel, the light bulb and the transistor. Genius stuff.
First time I played this level I tried to go between the tank treads during the scene you hide from the patrol and was promptly crushed to death. Cpt Price, always a pro.....
They kinda explain how they did it. The original mw campaign was a lot more surgical, and thet had to scrap and restart it to make it more mobs of enemies. You can see the surgical style a lot in mw remastered
All Ghillied Up is the best mission/level ever created, it is quite simply a masterpiece. From the feel to the voice acting, it was perfection all parts working in sync to create the immersion many game designs lack.
This video made me feel so nostalgic thank you. Aspiring to be a concept artist and game designer myself it’s good to see that my awe and inspiration wasn’t just sweet nostalgia. It truly was an incredible feeling.
"I was just a leftenant back then, doing some wet-work. It was the first time that the government has ordered an assassination on someone since the second world war. I was under the command of Captain MacMillan" By far my favorite level in any Call of Duty game
Thank you so much for this video. All Ghillied Up is my all time favorite level from any cod campaign, it's amazing to find little stuff like pre-alpha builds with a geiger counter and now this 'behind the scenes' if you will. I remember watching the Crew Expendable walkthough on the cod4 bonus disc with the dev's commentating behind it, wishing there was something like that for other levels, and your video was exactly what I had always hoped for.
I loved that game back in the day. My favorite thing was to use the 3rd person command. However, looking back at that beach landing level and realizing how much of a rip-off of Saving Private Ryan it was. The camera shots, the dialogue the uniforms
Damn coming back to this video 2 years after you've released it is so badass, I'm replaying the mission rn. It's like rewatch Lord of the rings or Star wars, you always have to do it every once and a while, thats how I feel with this mission ever since I played it in 2007. Absolutely amazing video brother, Much love!!!
This is seriously so cool. Getting to explore the origins of one of the most memorable missions of all time. Really well done and thank you for making it.
Great video! Definitely subscribed. I'm a developer and I find this sort of stuff really interesting! Some ideas for future videos that I would love to see: - creating portals - mass effect morality system. - mass effect's persistent choices between the games, and their ramifications on development. - Dishonored. How they came up with the idea, how they implemented the powers, etc.
This mission was amazing when I was 15 and I had my PS3... 24 year old me didn't forget and went to Pripyat for a guided tour. I have a video on my channel from that trip, it was amazing. "All Ghillied Up" is the best video game mission I have ever played.
This is like special features from a movie. What a great idea making this video. I remember being blown away the day it was released. This is still my favourite cod. The only thing that drove me crazy was the second intel location on this level, why Jesus why??? Nobody could find that!! Great job everything. Rip Soap
Don't remember Subbing. don't remember this upload. Glad you re uploaded. This is an amazing piece of history. You'll be on TH-cam's front page by the end of tomorrow I think
So kind of you to say mate! I don't think it's going viral anytime soon. What I would say is if you and any other viewers are willing to share around/post on reddit the video, it makes the biggest difference to the growth of the channel. I know it sounds a bit slimy asking people to share, but in all honesty for a small channel it's a huge boost. Thanks for watching!
This video is severely underrated. I only played the level for the first time a few days ago (and thought it was absolutely amazing) and hearing about the pitch that had Mohammed sold on the spot captivated me. That and the rest of IW's background in level design and how it all came together in their masterpiece levels has been covered really well here. Outstanding job from a channel this size.
I remember Ghost Recon missions where 1 shot=1 kill and it could take a hour to do. Just one wrong move and it was all the way back to the waypoint which were far apart. That same tension is what made this level so great. Sadly, most shooters and COD turned into super fast, non stop on rails scripted 6-8 hr rollercoasters. Fun but no replay value.
Such a great level, amazing to hear how these things can come to fruition. I hope this kind of freedom is given to developers in the modern AAA industry. Great job IW
I feel the reason that All Ghillied Up was the personal favorite of many people was the fact that it was just ONE/TWO levels, and it easily stands out, if all the levels were like all ghillied up, people would love that single run-n-gun level simply for the reason that it was DIFFERENT, and the fact that it was good made it simply beautiful...
A truly epic game; I was there at the beginning and it changed the way I looked at FPS's forever. The original MW is as playable now as it was on release and stands as a landmark event in game development. As someone who was there close to the very beginning (Sega Master System) I think it's more than appropriate to rank MW as one of the 10 best games ever.
the backstory of Chernobyl and the way the level looks is to real you can even hear faint giggles and laughter of children playing which makes it even more real
People often forget that ambiance and the sound track for a level or section of a single player campaign is precisely what makes encounters like in All Ghillied Up so good.
Man I sure love hearing these stories about the making of video games. It's inspiring in a way and opens up the world of the video game industry, even if just a little, to amateurs who aspire to get a career in video games.
I wasn’t expecting this to be so professionally made, Excellent video! I knew there was a lot of cut content regarding CoD 4, but I didn’t know they scrapped almost half the game in the middle of development. I think it would be interesting to here more about why this occurred and what this content included. It’s pretty hard to find in-depth information on that topic.
I played a ton of MoH Allied Assault, COD1 and 2. Hearing about the evolution of the concept and finding out the same guys worked on all these games blows my mind. I remember following Major Grillo through the Operation Torch Mission in MOHAA, and to find it helped inspire All Ghillied Up brings it full circle. I realized the depth of the scripting when, in the early part of All Ghillied Up, I looked at the wrong church tower and Cpt. MacMillan says: "No, the other tower."
This is true my friend, never forget. I thought I'd dedicate as much time to AGU, though, to give it the time necessary for the story to get told. Thanks for watching!
What an amazing video! Thanks for your work on bringing some light into the making of one of the best levels ever made! I would love to hear even more about it. Mo did an incredible job, his level design inspired me so much.
Thank you so much Rednose ! It was a real privilege to put this together. Mo did some incredible work and I’m glad he’s had the chance to be recognised. Stay tuned for my next project, another conversation with Respawn about an iconic level from their last single player title...
Thanks for watching sentinel ! Only real video gamers play in maximum difficulty, or so I hear. It’s definitely a satisfying stealth level, any other CoD levels that have stuck with you?
@James P Woods You mean that short? I have read comments of people taking much longer to beat that mission on Veteran and that mission being One Shot One Kill
I wish I could experience my young age during this era just once more, the days of this mission & also playing Mike Myers on Old Skool and glitching out of all the maps, Christ man I miss it, brings a tear to my eye.
It's a great point, and I wrestled over this. I just figured why not show the level in its most polished form. I flaunted with the idea of using both and maybe analyzing how the remaster changed the level. Ultimately I figured the remaster was a good option. Thank you taking a look at the video though! Hopefully the remaster didn't ruin the video for you.
Thank god they took the time to make the level, Really helped the pacing of the game slowing down Act 2. Pacing is something most of the series sorely lacked.
@@GameBrainOfficial we did not - that is all Jake Keating - and he does not get enough recognition for making one of the 10 best moments in gaming this decade.
Mohammad Alavi Hello! I just wanted to personally thank you, and the team for making COD4 and really making my childhood even better with your creation. I was 6-7 years old when COD4 released and I'll never forget when I went to the store to buy it with my father. You guys deserve so much more recognition then what you currently receive because if it wasn't for you guys taking the risk and being courageous with trying new ideas then we may have never got the Call of Duty experience that millions of people love and still play with to this day.
I cannot describe enough how happy this video made me. CoD4 is my childhood, I wouldn't be where I am in gaming without it. All Ghillied Up is my all-time favourite mission, and to think that it was almost cut due to voting in a board room blows my mind. I love CoD4/All Ghillied Up so much it's literally my branding. I owe Mohammed and all those guys everything Thank you

Play the new cod
Death I have dude, actually pretty impressed with it, not gonna lie... the gameplay and graphics are top notch... the campaigns story was kinda cliche but the gameplay Part of it was great
Clean House was the best mission lol. So short but it really captures the tension the old Modern Warfare had.
Shit true that
Watching the original mw missions makes it apparent how the new games missions aren't nearly as impressive
I played this mission at least 20-30 times. they storyline and scenery were really captivating.

I don’t think many would argue this is single handedly the greatest mission in cod history

Although the idea has been copied over and over in many games afterward, none of the levels had the sense of realism and immersion. They either felt forced or imaginary to the point of disconnect. But Pripyat is a real place and it looks like that... And before that, not many people knew about it, let alone walked through it. It really is a genius idea, created masterfully.
I had the demo too and played it for waaay too long. I remember when I tried to do everything in that demo (so much that I propably could be hired as a tester lmao). Then I started watching let's plays and when the All Ghillied Up mission rolled up I was sold.
I will never forget loading into that level and the shock when MacMillan stands up from the grass. Still is one of the coolest moments in gaming history and was the moment that CoD4 joined my top 3 FPS games up until that point.
cant wait to be a boomer to my kids and showing them this game when they have hologram video games.
Velx I’m sorry but I don’t think you can become a boomer
Ok boomer
Velx you’re gen z
can you be born between 1944 and 1964?
It still amazes me that I can play Minecraft and Diablo on a device that almost fits in my pocket.
Cpt. MacMillan was a character that I loved the most out of the whole MW series I remember being 8 yrs old and hoping that MacMillan didn’t die when the chopper almost killed him and later on i hoped he would return one day i was heartbroken when i found out that in the mission “All In” and i saw 2 men in Ghillie Suits i thought one of them was MacMillan but sadly it wasn’t. But he did kind of come back in MW3
This mission is among the most important inventions of all time. It's next to the invention of the wheel, the light bulb and the transistor. Genius stuff.
First time I played this level I tried to go between the tank treads during the scene you hide from the patrol and was promptly crushed to death. Cpt Price, always a pro.....
Modern warefare 2019 night vision levels were really great. Intrested in How the devs approached that.
Tawpik Talat yes my favorite level is when you go dark clearing out the house going up the stairs clearing rooms that was great level
Literally I just completed the whole campaign today and thought that level was up there
They kinda explain how they did it. The original mw campaign was a lot more surgical, and thet had to scrap and restart it to make it more mobs of enemies. You can see the surgical style a lot in mw remastered
The new modern warfare has such a beautiful campaign. Especially the nvg scenes. Absolutely love it
All Ghillied Up is the best mission/level ever created, it is quite simply a masterpiece. From the feel to the voice acting, it was perfection all parts working in sync to create the immersion many game designs lack.
This video made me feel so nostalgic thank you. Aspiring to be a concept artist and game designer myself it’s good to see that my awe and inspiration wasn’t just sweet nostalgia. It truly was an incredible feeling.
So glad you enjoyed the video Jarred! Thanks for watching.
"I was just a leftenant back then, doing some wet-work. It was the first time that the government has ordered an assassination on someone since the second world war. I was under the command of Captain MacMillan"
By far my favorite level in any Call of Duty game
after mw2 cod died to me as a super fan, but those first few games are still incredible and will always stay in the collection
the amount of times I played 'all ghillied up' by far one of my favourite levels and biggest childhood memory
There was a R-99 in the background
@N-Word Salesman ik
Thank you so much for this video. All Ghillied Up is my all time favorite level from any cod campaign, it's amazing to find little stuff like pre-alpha builds with a geiger counter and now this 'behind the scenes' if you will. I remember watching the Crew Expendable walkthough on the cod4 bonus disc with the dev's commentating behind it, wishing there was something like that for other levels, and your video was exactly what I had always hoped for.
Thanks so much for watching! Stoked you enjoyed it 🙂 just hope people get something out of it. I had a blast making this.
Medal of Honor Allied Assault touches my heart to this day.
Agreed. Extremely underrated campaign. Due to my age it was THE video game that made me a PC gamer even to this day.
I loved that game back in the day. My favorite thing was to use the 3rd person command. However, looking back at that beach landing level and realizing how much of a rip-off of Saving Private Ryan it was. The camera shots, the dialogue the uniforms
Damn coming back to this video 2 years after you've released it is so badass, I'm replaying the mission rn. It's like rewatch Lord of the rings or Star wars, you always have to do it every once and a while, thats how I feel with this mission ever since I played it in 2007. Absolutely amazing video brother, Much love!!!
This is seriously so cool. Getting to explore the origins of one of the most memorable missions of all time. Really well done and thank you for making it.
Great video! Definitely subscribed. I'm a developer and I find this sort of stuff really interesting! Some ideas for future videos that I would love to see:
- creating portals
- mass effect morality system.
- mass effect's persistent choices between the games, and their ramifications on development.
- Dishonored. How they came up with the idea, how they implemented the powers, etc.
This mission was amazing when I was 15 and I had my PS3... 24 year old me didn't forget and went to Pripyat for a guided tour. I have a video on my channel from that trip, it was amazing. "All Ghillied Up" is the best video game mission I have ever played.
My favorite level in a game ever :) thanks for grinding through and making those ais the level would never have been what it became without them
This is like special features from a movie. What a great idea making this video. I remember being blown away the day it was released. This is still my favourite cod. The only thing that drove me crazy was the second intel location on this level, why Jesus why??? Nobody could find that!! Great job everything. Rip Soap
I don’t remember subscribing but I’m glad I did. Loved this game and this level.
They don’t make em like they used to **sipp**
Great that you enjoyed the video :D and thanks for the sub!
Game Brain Happy to be subbed. This is good content. Keep it going and that algorithm will pick you up ez
Don't remember Subbing. don't remember this upload. Glad you re uploaded. This is an amazing piece of history. You'll be on TH-cam's front page by the end of tomorrow I think
So kind of you to say mate! I don't think it's going viral anytime soon. What I would say is if you and any other viewers are willing to share around/post on reddit the video, it makes the biggest difference to the growth of the channel. I know it sounds a bit slimy asking people to share, but in all honesty for a small channel it's a huge boost. Thanks for watching!
What a great video! Would love additional videos dissecting specific levels.
This was excellent! Thank you for making this video!
Its so proud be a developer of such a game that changed the world of fps games
Finally, somebody who's got an actual high quality gameplay of Call of Duty 1 and 2 in documentaries.
Incredible vid, I would love a series from you like this
This video is severely underrated. I only played the level for the first time a few days ago (and thought it was absolutely amazing) and hearing about the pitch that had Mohammed sold on the spot captivated me. That and the rest of IW's background in level design and how it all came together in their masterpiece levels has been covered really well here. Outstanding job from a channel this size.
I remember Ghost Recon missions where 1 shot=1 kill and it could take a hour to do. Just one wrong move and it was all the way back to the waypoint which were far apart. That same tension is what made this level so great. Sadly, most shooters and COD turned into super fast, non stop on rails scripted 6-8 hr rollercoasters. Fun but no replay value.
"There's a movie called Goldeneye..."
Such a great level, amazing to hear how these things can come to fruition. I hope this kind of freedom is given to developers in the modern AAA industry. Great job IW
I feel the reason that All Ghillied Up was the personal favorite of many people was the fact that it was just ONE/TWO levels, and it easily stands out, if all the levels were like all ghillied up, people would love that single run-n-gun level simply for the reason that it was DIFFERENT, and the fact that it was good made it simply beautiful...
A truly epic game; I was there at the beginning and it changed the way I looked at FPS's forever. The original MW is as playable now as it was on release and stands as a landmark event in game development. As someone who was there close to the very beginning (Sega Master System) I think it's more than appropriate to rank MW as one of the 10 best games ever.
the backstory of Chernobyl and the way the level looks is to real you can even hear faint giggles and laughter of children playing which makes it even more real
People often forget that ambiance and the sound track for a level or section of a single player campaign is precisely what makes encounters like in All Ghillied Up so good.
Man I sure love hearing these stories about the making of video games. It's inspiring in a way and opens up the world of the video game industry, even if just a little, to amateurs who aspire to get a career in video games.
genuinely one of the most quality videos i have ever watched
Fantastic work! Iconic mission.
Thanks for taking a look dude! Yeah definitely a mission I had to learn more about, hope you found this interesting.
So Mohammed was what, 14 years old when he wrote that level? Seriously how young are these guys?
I wasn’t expecting this to be so professionally made, Excellent video! I knew there was a lot of cut content regarding CoD 4, but I didn’t know they scrapped almost half the game in the middle of development. I think it would be interesting to here more about why this occurred and what this content included. It’s pretty hard to find in-depth information on that topic.
This video was put together amazingly. Very interesting.
I played a ton of MoH Allied Assault, COD1 and 2. Hearing about the evolution of the concept and finding out the same guys worked on all these games blows my mind. I remember following Major Grillo through the Operation Torch Mission in MOHAA, and to find it helped inspire All Ghillied Up brings it full circle. I realized the depth of the scripting when, in the early part of All Ghillied Up, I looked at the wrong church tower and Cpt. MacMillan says: "No, the other tower."
14:17 RAMIREZ! PROTECT THE BURGER TOWN!
Let's not forget that this iconic stealth mission, is not just "All Ghillied up" but also "one shot one kill"
This is true my friend, never forget. I thought I'd dedicate as much time to AGU, though, to give it the time necessary for the story to get told. Thanks for watching!
Absolute master class of how to do a gaming documentary, instant subscribe , fantastic channel an absolute credit to you sir
When you were hiding in the grass field from the enemy armour and soilders..... it gave me a panic attack when I was younger
Haha i remember rubbing poo on my wii remote cuz of a nervous tic i guess
Pawel G LOLloL WTF
2:08 who else seen the r99 on the wall
Yeah.. Respawn
Came to the comments for this
What an amazing video! Thanks for your work on bringing some light into the making of one of the best levels ever made! I would love to hear even more about it. Mo did an incredible job, his level design inspired me so much.
Thank you so much Rednose ! It was a real privilege to put this together. Mo did some incredible work and I’m glad he’s had the chance to be recognised. Stay tuned for my next project, another conversation with Respawn about an iconic level from their last single player title...
Great video.
I could listen to those guys talk about how they built the whole game. Not just this mission.
I love that stuff!
I remember how much I was stealthy for not going into front combat (I only play in maximum difficulty).
Thanks for watching sentinel ! Only real video gamers play in maximum difficulty, or so I hear. It’s definitely a satisfying stealth level, any other CoD levels that have stuck with you?
sentinel I played on the highest level as well and it took me 2 hours just to get past the helicopter escape part.
@James P Woods You mean that short? I have read comments of people taking much longer to beat that mission on Veteran and that mission being One Shot One Kill
The work these guys did for the gaming industry wow
amazing production quality, well done :)
I wish I could experience my young age during this era just once more, the days of this mission & also playing Mike Myers on Old Skool and glitching out of all the maps, Christ man I miss it, brings a tear to my eye.
Why didn’t you use the original Cod 4?
I feel like it would have been more appropriate to use the game the devs actually worked on.
It's a great point, and I wrestled over this. I just figured why not show the level in its most polished form. I flaunted with the idea of using both and maybe analyzing how the remaster changed the level. Ultimately I figured the remaster was a good option. Thank you taking a look at the video though! Hopefully the remaster didn't ruin the video for you.
Man I miss the old soundtracks man, all of them just scream nostalgia
Nah they usually play music
This was really cool! That level was such a memorable part of my gaming experience as a teenager.
Thank god they took the time to make the level, Really helped the pacing of the game slowing down Act 2. Pacing is something most of the series sorely lacked.
Hi, Investigate the mission from titanfall2 with the time gauntlet.
Thanks for watching! Great suggestion. I would suggest Steve and Mohammad probably worked on that level. I should revisit it for sure!
@@GameBrainOfficial we did not - that is all Jake Keating - and he does not get enough recognition for making one of the 10 best moments in gaming this decade.
Mohammad Alavi Hello! I just wanted to personally thank you, and the team for making COD4 and really making my childhood even better with your creation. I was 6-7 years old when COD4 released and I'll never forget when I went to the store to buy it with my father. You guys deserve so much more recognition then what you currently receive because if it wasn't for you guys taking the risk and being courageous with trying new ideas then we may have never got the Call of Duty experience that millions of people love and still play with to this day.
Dishonored. Just investigate any Dishonored level that you find interesting or good.
I cannot describe enough how happy this video made me. CoD4 is my childhood, I wouldn't be where I am in gaming without it. All Ghillied Up is my all-time favourite mission, and to think that it was almost cut due to voting in a board room blows my mind. I love CoD4/All Ghillied Up so much it's literally my branding. I owe Mohammed and all those guys everything
Thank you
Cod4, Mw2,Apex,Jedi. Infinity ward my childhood and my young adulthood thanks you for these gems
