Unfortunately, the original heads of Infinity Ward were forced out by Activision after MW2.
Jack Well put. If they actually cared about the gamer, it would've been obvious to the gamer.
+shiningmyduggy
So that's why every COD after MW2 is shit!
Who cares? They turned CoD into pile of shit with their Modern War games
shiningmyduggy and now we have titanfall and titanfall 2 :)
So that's what happened? Some of the people have returned to Infinity Ward recently, don't know who exactly.
Damn the graphics are a lot better in this than I expected
The raining looks great,doesn't it?
Ali same engine as every call of duty up to Ghosts.
First CoD had aim down sights.
Also, the Egypt levels in this game were amazing.
For a 12 year old game it really looks good. Favorite in the series!
18 now..lol
I remember the commercials for it. I remember buying it. I remember beating it twenty times. It's hands downs the best CoD.
I'm so happy with Retro Worth A Buy. Just when I thought the channel couldn't get any more prefect.
Got scared when I saw this was posted. This game is a relic from my childhood
Same. This and MW2.
I got COD2 when I got MW2 7 years ago.
i thought already at that time that cod 4 was shit. Played 1 and 2 so much that there was just nothing to add in..
Blooffi glad I'm not the only one. I enjoyed CoD4 but it wasn't amazing or anything. in my opinion it marks the decline of call of duty, starting with all of the weapon customization
Btw, dumbing down started with this game.
Compared to Call of Duty1: UO they removed:
Cooknades (patched it later it seems)
Sprinting
Leaning
Vehicles (from the MP)
Health Packs
Maps became smaller for faster gratification.
And they started fucking up weapon balance.
After this they added hand holdy shit in the next iterations.
I don't remember sprinting in COD1 but yes you are correct, this was the first signs of the dumbing down
And I don't blame you because it was added with the expansion UO (United Offensive), which is the only game I played competitively.
CoD2 removed a lot. They brought back some in WaW, some more in MW, but they also added the dreaded perk system and overpowered "killstreaks".
Thumbs up Beppe :)
Rifling seemed 10x easier in COD2 than it was in #1/UO, not sure if it was the projectile size or the head hitboxes but rifles went from something that took a lot of practice and skill, to easy mode point & shoot.
Yea we had some people look into that and they theorized it had something to do with "hit registration" or "reg" if memory serves me right.
They explained that as a combination of better fps, better ping, better pixel density/better textures that translated to : the chance of you actually hitting what you were aiming at in CoD1:UO was poorer than in CoD2 making the latter "more realistic" and by extent easier.
For the record, this was true for all weapons, not only rifles. That's what I meant with weapon balance before:
In UO_Rhinevalley it was virtually impossible to kill a sniper up the hill with an MP44 for example, in CoD2 you had a decent chance of killing a sniper in MP_Caen with an MP40.
I miss games from the 2000's. especially games like this.
I remember spending many many hours after school playing this on multi-player with my friends...
This was the best call of duty by far, the music alone pits its up there
Well... 2020 this is still a good fkn game! And we still not see games like these
When COD was good...
They had aiming down the sights in the very first COD, it was the big innovation about it
I really feel nostalgia looking at this video. You've made a good call with your retro reviews.
cod 2 was such a good game... i remember lanning it at this really old pc cafe when it first came out, and we played it along with cs1.6 for like the next 5 years as far as fps goes.. watching this video reminded me how great it was
Goldeneye didn't have a jump button either and to this day it's still one of my favorite despite being a console shooter. Give Bulletstorm a try before you judge it.
I got so excited when I saw the name pop up on my subscription feed. I played 5+ years playing this game.
Loving these retro WABs, Mac!
Really liking these retro reviews! I remember playing COD for just the campaign :P
I love the rant about comparing modern games. Man that realization has hit me so hard lately. Thus why I'm here going back to my golden age era. Gaming from scratch.
Playing CoD World of War at the moment. Quite brutal depiction of war, but war is brutal after all. Though the grenade spam is just insane and the level in which you control a t-34 was total garbage.
Nice review i like how youre so passionate for these games.... They are really well done and impact you in many ways
loved it as usual Mackie
COD 1 and 2 will always be my favourites
COD 1 and its expansion united offensive had ironsights so no COD2 was not the first..
COD 2 was the beginning of the end for me, it was the first time they increased the size of the hitboxes, previous to that COD required great skill, the bolt action rifle only servers were amazing.
YES loved these retro worthabuys! Do more m8!
You should try red orchestra. You might like it.
Point Du Hoc was part of D-day.
I grew up on this game. Modern game developers need to step up their game.
Holy shit this was the game that made me fall in love with PC gaming! My wife bought it for me as a part of our 5-year anniversary! Used to play together, Well... I played, she watched and screamed.. Aww such good memories. After the 2008 release of World at War I gave Up COD because I can't stand the mechanics and community. gotta pick this up again. Thanks!!! for the memories
That final death though.. "Lemme pick up some grenades" "BRRRRRRT" "BRRRRRRRT" *DEAD*
Amen brother. One of your best videos to date.
"or did I dream that? *ding"
I don't know why but this made me laugh
in its prime this game was best as a multiplayer game. the ability to lean left or right was so dope and i really regretted all the most popular games in the years after removing that feature
This one is a legend..
Huh. I find it funny that you do this vid on the day I finish filming the last playthrough of it. God's funny. Love ya man.
You are right about one thing Mack the amount of ammo you use in this game is insane,and will say this, this the most realistic intense house to house fighting i have ever experienced was not the Stalingrad campaign,but the Americans in Normandy The Silo Mission you have to take about 5-6 houses you are literally being fired at from all directions whatever building you are trying to take its unmatched in my opinion in what house to house fighting in ww2 was really like.You almost have another round of respect for soldiers who participated in this kind of fighting.
Cod 1 had aim down sight/iron sight as well
Liked it. Like the retro series. Cheers
I have this game for XBox 360. This and MW2 are the only games I play on my 360 now. I play WAW on my PC. I can personally say that these three games are absolutely amazing. I love them all so much.
the british were also using thompsons for the first couple years of the war, the sten was only introduced in 1941 after they really needed to get a basic easy to produce gun out in the millions
The British did use Thompson SMGs, but didn't have enough to fully equip most infantry units, so most of them went to Commando units. The Sten was dirt cheap to mass produce, so that ended up equipping the majority of officers and NCOs.
I do appreciate that he calls the enemy soldiers "Germans" and not "Nazis", because not all Germans were Nazis in WW2. Most of them were just German soldiers, like the American soldiers.
Well of course he calls them Germans, he's not an american lol
mattmattmatt131313
Exactly!
Yea the fact that he says germane instead of nazi is actually mind blowing, just wow he is so intelligent am I right? I mean just check out the dying light review...
All the German soldiers WERE NAZIS in ww2..... Fuckin brainless
T.O.K The Omessian King yea ur right, u know ur facts
I played this game for so many years
yea man this game stormed the market when it came out, Good nostalgic review. Spot on, on everything you say and said about the video game industry in all of your reviews. Such a shame that the video game industry is totally destroyed. These young kids just don't see it cause the entertainment industry programmed them and electronics raised them. I'm glad your calling out garbage when you see it. I stopped buying ubisoft, early access and other AAA companies about 2 years ago when the scam they run just got worse. I love your videos cause it supplies me with hilarity and truth.
Love the older games, Operation Flashpoint, Arma, enemy gets one good shot at you and and you're fertilizer.
brilliant review and I hope developers will see this..
I remember the bolt action only and melee only servers. Good times.
Multiplayer should be thriving for this game. This game and it's predecessor was the most fun I've ever had playing multiplayer! I used to love the rifle modded servers
Can you imagine a game like this with modern graphics,the time i played this game it was the 1st time my keyboard and mouse had Battle Fatigue,the grenades popped up like Jem Hadar Houdini Mines as Deep Space Nine fans will recall.
Call of Duty 2 on playstation 2 had no regenerating health. It had medkits. Also, it has a completely different campaign than the Pc version. The Playstation 2 version is called Call of Duty 2: The big red one. It's my childhood. I also love the Pc version, but I think the ps2 version is more pure and hardcore with the health kits.
But you have to use a shitty PS2 controller to play it!
True, but it's still a great game.
SkinnierSteve ahhh... big red one.. my Xbox childhood.
thats cod 3 big red one
sorry cod 2
Reminds me of back in day. Clipin' on Carentan :)
Wow this game is bringing back memories! Btw you should do Oblivion Retro Worthabuy :D
Would love to see retro worthabuys on the original Operation Flashpoint and Brothers-in-Arms they were both made to high standard as well. You are so right about the standard of FPS games today Mack
my favorite call of duty game of all time! :)
I got a right wave of sentimentality sweep over me watching this - some of those locations were like visiting real places
(it was funny watching Band Of Brothers with maps like Carentan and Brecourt and saying, oh look I've been there, some aspects of the maps matched up so well... it was the best FPS multiplayer experiences I remember)
I've still got my original CD ROM version from back in the day - I just assumed they wouldn't run anymore... might dust them off and give them a whirl.
Mack, I have an interesting fact for you about CoD2.
They actually didn't want to make CoD2 in WW2. They wanted to go into Modern times right after CoD1. But Activision forced their hand and made them make it as an experiment for consoles.
To me, the most funny bit is that CoD2 is the most balanced, graphicly appealing and well themed game from all CoDs. It's really really strange how it turned out.
This great game is a hall of fame material. Plays superb despite it's age, which proves a point even more, that the fun is not solely in better graphics, but the overall package.
*I LOVE THIS GAME*
The british actually did use the Thompson until a certain point in the war and then switched to the cheaper sten gun. I remember playing an extra British campaign set in France after El Alamein where you use the sten gun.
Call of duty games have a special place for me, especially their campaigns up to Blackops 2
Damned, it remembers me I never did the campaign, I went strait into the multiplayer, but if my cd is still ok you gave me the envy to give it a spin . Sound was so brilliant, if you can enable the EAX effect.
I used to love multiplayer on this game, I remember it was the first ever game I played online when I first got an xbox 360. Great times! They just don't make games like they used to!
This game is just a masterpiece
Love these retro reviews Mack! Check out Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood
Were this video a golf hole that would be a whole in one, I whole heartedly agree
I'd love to play this again. Must've done the campaign about 10 times on the hardest difficulty and it was always near-impossible to get through a single mission without dying once. The multi-player was a great experience too; I can hardly believe I'm talking about Cod here.... err... mm... ye... I liked the D-day mission too because this was the first time I learned of the multiple beach landings that happened. Think I'm gonna have to get this again for a re-run.
Man... when campaigns were awesome...
Never actually played this game, I was too young at the time, but I remember walking into my local Best Buy and there were roof to floor banners across the whole place advertising this game with every sort of poster and action figure product placement possible scattered all over the place, it was quite a spectacle.
Love all the cods up to about modern warfare 2 maybe 3 and medal of honour airborne was awesome
Can't argue with a word of that.
I remember playing the crusader tank level at Christmas when this came out. Remember my mum shouting at me to come downstairs and trying to check the names of the other tanks in my column.
Mack you seriously need to list your favourite retro games in a video. All of them. For future reference.
i got this bundled with a 360 for christmas when i was 12. Im 24 now and no console game has come close to the amount of fun i had on this
my absolute retro ww2 favourite is "Soldiers: Heroes of World War II" which over the years progressed into the "men of war series". it was a brutal commando style rts with full destruction, which was amazing at this time. i spent countless hours beating this game and all it´s missions. and guess what, there´s no xp or silly loot crates and shit like this ...
played this to death when it came out, used to play in a clan with MOHAA and these games as well as unreal. but for such an old game £7 let alone £14 is a damn cheek to charge for this
Tommie guns were manufactured in Birmingham England in fact there was rare design from England of it chambered to a diff bullet with noticable extra stopping power to 45acp but did not go anywhere
In CoD2 there was also support for high precision hardware accelerated positional audio that was amazing for its time. Yeah it was only for sounds cards from one brand, but there was nothing like it before that. And not for many years after either since Microsoft killed hardware accelerated 3D audio with Windows Vista.
CoD2 was a blast in LAN multiplayer.
I'll never forget when the Xbox 360 came out and there was one in my local Xtra vision with this game on it (blockbuster equivalent in Ireland).
My mind was blown. What a Christmas that was when I got this. Amazing memories
It's the bridge mission in Call of Duty 1 that still gets me... Best WW2 shooter ever. And as much as I loved Medal of Honor, I don't think I ever played it again after I finished it. COD2 I played loads and loved, but I don't think it had that one big standout moment like COD1 and AA had.
You should absolutely play the first COD again. Think I might too actually. Magic.
Hey ther Worth A Buy, Fun Fact early in WW2 the Brits didnt have any SMGs in Mass Production so they were forced to order Thompson SMG's from the USA, at a very expensive price, the Thompson SMG's cost around 200 dollars back then when the M1 Garand cost about either 16 or 60 dollars (unsure of what the host of Forgotten Weapons said, was a bit unclear (chanel on TH-cam, def worth it to check out, i think you would love it since it seems your a fan of history)
I have the 360 version of this, which is an exact port of the PC version (though only 8 people for online matches lol), and it's backwards compatible on Xbox One. Runs at a full 60 with vsync so it looks quite nice! I actually have to turn the volume down lower when I play it because it's pretty much nonstop carnage until the mission ends, just yelling, gunfire and explosions. Awesome game.
Thousands upon thousands of hours in this game. This is my favorite FPS hands down. And yet I still find enjoyment in modern shooters, including Infinite Warfare. Not that they're "good games" but I still enjoy the experience. Hmmm, idk. Do I just have simpler tastes? Or can I look past certain dumb mechanics? Anyways, thanks for the vid, Mack :)
Hey Mack, this is a great idea for Free Friday. I recently got addicted to this MMO war game called Foxhole. It's in pre-alpha on steam for free and it is a great game to get into. Hope to see this in the mere future. Thanks!!
8:44 No, you could aim down the sights in ALL CoD games. It was one of the features that set it apart from MoH at the outset.
If you havent, play cod 3, thats probably my favorite outside of world at war. Good story, mad me get the feels when i was younger
More of these - spread the word, it might just change something in the gaming industry
Beautiful game. My favorite after WAW and MW2.
good game!
Call of Duty United offensive and Call of Duty Finest Hour MVPS in my book.
Finest hour was a magical game for me
You should review Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Mack, you should review a bunch of World War II games. I personally love that time period and I think that it is incredibly underused in gaming. It is the perfect 'global war' setting for FPS, RTS, and Grand Strategy in my opinion. I just have this nasty feeling that if COD is really going back to World War II, it's going to be terrible...
Cutscenes everywhere, a story that is the same thing just copy and pasted over to different assets, no FOV slider, bad gun play (no recoil), only the Americans playable, too much Political Correctness, and worst of all: they are going to find some way to add X-Ray vision.
Watch me call it totally 100% right here. I hope I'm wrong.
You tell em Mack.
COD 1 is still good with a couple of mates and a LAN connection. I remember playing this with mates in my games design class at my old school. i had a habit of red gunning everyone.
Tbh guys, the problem with regen health is not that its unrealistic, the problem is that the way you get health back is by hiding away from danger until it comes back, a passive action, compared to having to track down medkits and stuff or manage your resources, which would be an active one.
Games should be about activity, not being passive.
Hi Mac.
I have a kid. He plays Insurgency and recently, T. C. R. 6 Siege on pc. (mouse and keyboard).
Hes pretty decent at it, usually staying at 2nd 3th Insurgency aftermatch, with highest difficult settings.
Friends come over with controllers and copy of recent Call of Duty to PS3.
They do multiplayer for some hours. Jumping and knifing all over the place.
Conclusion: According to friends, my kid sucks playing FPS...
Hidden and Dangerous review. Please Mac.
I love how you are doing these retro reviews. It is so nice to see what you think of some of these older games. Great Videos Mack!
"There were 64 player servers, and no classes to select, but then I dreamed that."
Mack's Finest hour
It STILL looks good. Damn it really was an absloute blockbuster back then.
you can still find multiplayer games on cod2. I play it every now and again
