Hi Guys,
In this video, I compared details, graphics and guns sound, reload animation & gameplay features between the call of duty black ops cold war 2020 and call of duty modern warfare 2. These details do not make one game better than the other.
Thanks for watching.

Its pretty logic why mw2 have more details bc took more than 2 years and cold war just took 8 month
Sdipi
What fucking year is it? 2003 or 2023?
I still love the color aesthetic of Cold War a lot. The shaders aren’t as good which is why everything doesn’t look like it has weight. Plus the 80’s aesthetic is so good. I really want them to revisit that era with the new engine.
The Cold War palette choice is good, ok; but the game itself was made in such a hurry that most of the surfaces looks like plastic. If they had enough time to finish the game properly, it would have been something much more interesting

“In Cold War both eyes are open”
Yet operator is admiring the scenery while aimed in. Surprised you can shoot straight😂
I feel like that's a very vital detail they missed lmao
I think they teach you in the military to shoot with both eyes open
I heard soldiers actually keep their eyes open for peripheral vision
@@lambda-m1676 yes and no, majority of the reason is because closing one eye requires you to, well actually do it, and in the heat of the moment when you have adrenaline pumping, it’s hard to keep your cool and do that
@@lambda-m1676 only snipers should keep both eyes open. Even then, most that do that still close one eye while they're scoping in.
Honestly, I like both games. Especially mw2 where if you switch certain primary weapons to secondary, you just hold your primary off to the side. It's pretty cool
That's actually an attachment for pistols and (should) work with all primary weapons.
@@RMediaObelisk oh really?! what attachment?
@@BeanyBlep I don't remember the specific names, but they're Grip attachments that have the perk "+Pistol Quickdraw" in the Pros section. the Desert Eagle and Basilisk quickdraw grips are wood panel grips :)
@@RMediaObelisk I think you can do it without the attachment if you pull out your pistol and press the trigger at the same time
@@MasterGamer-jg7vp I very strongly doubt that. i've max ranked all of the pistols and the only way to get that rapid switch is the quickdraw grip
Ok, but does MW2 have pre-made scripted animations for when you shoot a gumball machine? Thats what I thought.
.....alr you got me there. That's literally part of the reason I love the mall map
😂
You're not forbidden to close one eye while aiming it's just you want to keep 2 open since you want spatial awareness but it's also just way harder to aim down sights with both eyes opened so i mean to me it just seemed like cold war just didn't want to do the extra work of closing one eye and mw2 decided it'd be better to do 1 eye as it's not like you can see around you clearly while aiming down sights
You can see the soldier looking away from their weapons in cold war.
It's not easier with one eye closed after you train a small amount. It is crazy hard with magnified scopes, though. I don't even have that down yet.
@@His_Sword same, dude was shooting while looking away
in cw they do close 1 eye but only when using iron sights
Huh, i figured the eye thing on my own it was easy af for me tbh.
Wait, the game developed in a year, at home, during covid, isn't as detailed as a full 3 year developed game?!?! WHAT?
You're saying that 3000+ devs can do a better job than one with significantly less?
Or from customer perspective: "wair, both games launched with same price and one isn't nearly as detailed as another?"
why are both the same price then?
@@randomdude5993 because it's a video game, you play it to play the game, not stare at it
@@H3llfire320 if cw made up for it's lack of details with polish and content then maybe you would have a point - but it's not a case, so there's absolutely no excuse
Game launched at 70$, so it should be obvious to expect 70$ quality. And it's not, neither from gameplay or visual perspective
I feel like Cold War was just a classic cod type of game, almost like it was supposed to have an arcadey type of feel
Cold War was a Actual Cod game.
@@mundusproductions6407 agreed, but personally, originality always doesn’t feel fun to me
@@mundusproductions6407 Yes i had alot of fun on cold war but they definitely could have made it better
@@BushWookie141 they could've if they had more time to do so
@NonSense can't really say that when bo4 took 3 years to make and look how that turned out
I have a lot of respect for Cold War and i still play it to this day. It is amazing what the developers managed to do with this game while working from home during covid.
What's more, Cold War was made in literally 14 months
@@LeIsaacus was about to text it. Mad respect to Treyarch
cringe
@@LeIsaacus even less as I know, cause it was scrapped mid way from sledgehammer to treyarch
@@forafraudemia3747 True. Cod games are getting too be generic af. If Modern Warfare 2 didn't had this details, it would be generic like the other cod games Activision released in the last years
Some people are actually cross eye dominant which means using a long gun with irons you will actually have to close one eye.
yeah but realistically they would he trained with both eyes, plus not everyone is cross-eyed dominant
@@SpidaMez You aim with both eyes regardless, with an optic, eye dominance becomes less important
@@SpidaMezehh, they do not train you to use both eyes. It’s heavily suggested that you do but I was taught to do what makes you most comfortable but keep it practical.
the throwing back grenade feature has been in cod for a long time lol
Nah fr? Never would've guessed...
@@finger3627 this dude doesn't seem to know
@@LordOfTheJizzI think he was being satire
I gotta say, for as rushed as Cold War was it turned out pretty good. I really like the esthetics of the game and how it captured that 80s feel, gave the game personality. Good campaign and a lot of post launch content, even some content being released after Vanguard came out. I also really liked MWII, it plays very well, the only gripes I have with it is the lack of content. 10 maps is just not enough. Sure, now there's 11 and a 12th coming next week but both of these maps aren't new. The battle pass was very short and easy to complete within a few days, now I've got to wait until February for season 2? Ridiculous, at least CWs battle pass was enough to last the entire season.
In my opinion the game and campaign were some of the most beautiful i’ve seen in gaming, and for a rushed game
i feel that mw2 is just a sad game, 3 years gives us this when only 14 months gave us coldwar...Ive played both a lot getting dm ultra and dark aether on cw and getting orion on mw2 and I still think cw all around was better, hopefully mw2 picks up its game by like season 4
I honestly feel like the next game in a series needs to have just as much if not more content than what the last game had at the end of its run.
Why play the next game when the one before has more content as a whole and switch over to the new one when the disc is 20$ with all of its planned add ons?
if you're completing the battle pass in a couple days I think you have more things to worry about than how long you have to wait for the next one
hell no cold war campaign fucking sucks
The aesthetic of Cold War is much more pleasent for some reason
Cold war’s lighting is two dimensional so it’s a step backward from a realism standpoint but it makes visibility easier.
I like the underwater bomb blast in Cold War, and the smoke shadows too
Still amazed Cold War was in as good a state as it was especially after a few more maps released given their release date being rushed a whole year. Pretty solid for a 2 year game when it was supposed to take 3, and released during the 1st year of the pandemic.
For some reason the throwable axe underwater in Cold War made me laugh so much😂 I think it was the sound effect and seeing the axe travel at normal speed that cracked me up 😭😂
Have you noticed that in cold war, the character picks the pistol, but it get duplicates, now there is one on the hand and still one on the holster
Cold war has crazy color grading, almost looks photo real. If only it had good shaders
A year game vs 3 year game
Almost all of these details existed in mw2019 too, and it is older than cold war. So what is your point here?
@@ECcR0 mw2019 have 3 years of development and cw have 1 year and for 1 year the game is amazing
@@BLGamesyt oooh i get you now, sorry
@@BLGamesytbro your dumb/ he is showing mwII which isn’t a year or 3 year game do you even know when any game was released
@@strykergunner1716 ? 3 year development not life cycle
I love lighting from cold war, i feel like all iw games has problem with lighting since cod ghost
You mean since IW uses real world motion lighting ? Cold war is 2 dimensional lighting which makes things easier to see but is a set back in what all future of gaming worked for in terms of lighting technology…
Cold war lighting sucked. It's the aesthetics which were better than MW19. Lighting sucks just as bad in both games.
Ive never played cold war but in MW2 throwables have hit boxes so they can bounce with each other mid air if two grenades hit each other. You can also shoot throwables midair to activate them early.
Shooting a molotov midair allows you to spread it in a wide area better.
Ive shot my own flashbangs mid air but I really dont see the purpose in it.
@@Cpt_Katsuragi lmaoooo
Mw2 Developers: Lets add doors in mw2 so we can also add door peek
Coldwar developers: Forget about the doors its useless
I prefer the latter since planting claymore behind a door for cheesy kill wasn’t a thing with CW lmfao.
Hope you're doing a comparison between MWII and Vanguard. That would be interesting
Will do it for sure
mw2 wins... vanguard is fucked up
In the cartillage section, the technical word for that is Subsurface. Basically light scattering and passing through thin body part.
Cool vid, MW for the win
I always find these videos more interesting from the standpoint of what tiny detail they were willing to develop over actual mechanics to improve the game.
4:26 I’m pretty sure you actually noted they do have this detail of bullets sounding different on different surfaces in a different video for Cold War lol Armada must be bugged because it works fine in Cartel
There is some issue with my game I guess because I tried shell dropping in water in different maps but i couldn't find any difference in sound. I will try to check again
@@Stay_Frosty game's pretty buggy, that's probably why.
I always appreciate these videos, shows me the things I should appreciate that goes into these games
There are doors in Cold War, but only in the Dirty Bomb game mode.
The light passing through cartilage feature is called subsurface scattering.
:)
1:50 It looks like a "The world" timestop
both are pretty impressive!
the explosion under water in cold war lowk looked sick tho
6:13 the magazine clips thru the Deagle 💀
💀
A 3 year game with 3k devs VS a 8 month game where Devs had to keep stepping in to help out other COD studios
Also IW>all, boi.
@@YourEx.. being a zombies player tryarch is the best
Exactly edger but instead people would rather compare apples to oranges, because if we take that one fact alone MW2 should surpass CW in every way shape and form, but it doesn't, it was what I would even consider a down grade from cold war, sure it might be slightly better then vanguard but even that's a stretch. So many things they added that made the game worse instead of just using old formats that we all enjoy and have great user friendliness
But hey the attention to detail is great right guys, because the game doesn't function properly mechanically we should definitely be praising it for shit that doesn't even matter when it comes down to how to the game plays.
@@trey5890 you probably are some stereotypical cod hater and I bet you liked vanguard
Given this is an Arcade FPS all these "upgrades" are actually useless & I'd rather have a working game than a hyper realistic game. Great Video.
It’s still an arcade semi realistic fps
More like arcade, outdated.
Bro preach👏 IW going in the more realistic direction is aggravating tbh. Like why do I need to beable to attach myself to a surface? It encourages head glitching and camping. The loud foot steps especially. I don’t think the new modern warfare games are bad they just aren’t fun call of duty games. Cold War is the best recent cod game we’ve gotten imo.
technically the detail about fire not being on the roof is more realistic because of gravity and how molotovs work.
I personally wish cold war was the cod to get the two year cycle treatment. I love the aesthetic of the game and it totally captured the 80s with the lighting and lil details. It got shit on way too much but it was a damn good game
Yeah man, SHH should've instead worked on polishing VG more for future launch or hell, even work with treyarch/raven on cold war. Instead, we got VG, one of the most hated CODs in a long time(I don't consider MW19 nor BOCW hated, they were controversial).
Did you watch the video with your eyes closed or something
@@diegomaes6091 did you? he never said the maker of this this said it was shit.
@@CoolManCoolMan123 I consider MW19 hated. I consider it hated asf. There was nothing controversial about it. They literally got faze jev, the guy who tries to be positive asf about cod to hate the game. Then they abandoned it for Warzone and broke it for the past two years in favor of developing warzone.
@@DsgSleazy no way. It is only hated in the COD community. It brought so many players from other games into COD, that it matters. The actual community may hate it(including me, yes even I hated it), but the majority of its playerbase consisted of different player who were new or very old players who returned to COD, that's the most it did for the community. It was more of a punishing for being good. It has enough people liking it to not consider it hated atleast. Otherwise cold war is also hated, and that's completely false. Cold war is more last of us 2 like case.
9:24
"Save bullets"
Actually, there is one game in each game that doesn't save ammo, or at least an animation for it
The Fennec 45 in MW2, and the Type 63 in Cold War. Even firing just one bullet, they would flick away the mag with the remaining ammo still unspent
That one reload is making me pissed for a reason...
@@Riley_MDS every other animation conserves ammo, expect for a popular SMG
MW2 makes up for it, by making a cool ass animation for the Fennec
For some reason, it was a problem back then.
there was actually this crazy detail in Cold War I’ve never seen before, there is a strip of leather on the ak in the campaign that goes under the gun, after jumping down from a spot, the leather wrapped around the top of the gun and stayed there, I don’t know if I still it recorded (or if it is even a hidden details, could be a bug.)
Guess you are talking about Vietnam missions Type 56 (AK47)
Fully active bro and keep up the good work my friend 👏
The legs comparison is super unfair, you can even see the BO character adjusting his feet position too, the rocks just have shit collision. Put them on some stairs too, I'm sure they have IK, even if it's tuned a little differently.
I'm surprised CoD Cold war has some of the details knowing how rushed it is. Imagine what they would have done given 1 more year
You can't possibly compare MW2 to Cold War where Tryarch Devs were working on the game during the Covid-19 pandemic remotely and Activition pushed them so much to release the game on the annual release.
You totally can, they are by the same publisher under the same name and most importantly for the same price
Can’t blame covid for everything lol. Treyarch has always had lower quality games
@@joshlee7935exactly, the game is three years old, if they wanted to they could overhaul the game to make it look better and add more details to it so there’s really no excuse for how bad and cartoony it looks. This community just loves to defend and dickride Treyarch no matter how good or dogshit their games are.
@joshlee7935 Sooo your saying IW never made a bad game?
Something about the Cold war guide jumping out of the water is comedy to me 😂

I’m sure some won’t agree with me but honestly I almost like the more simplified nature of cold war I almost feel like it’s combing the best of the old and new and kind of giving a classic experience with a lot of the new quality of life and graphical updates we have today
I kinda agree. It feels like its got that old school BO1/2 arcadiness with some more modern underpinnings, and even though Mw2019’s my favorite I dont outright hate CW
After MW19 coming back to outdated 0 ballistics in CW is so bad.Even Vanguard had good shooting especially with MG-42.Imagine player who's played Killzone,Battlefield will play COD with all this stupid lack of recoil(it has it but it's still not well) and if you ask me BO3 with TF2 rip-off wallriding and AW were the best COD MP before MW19 but I guess no one cares
@@sandansaiyan5675 lmaooooooo so because the game didnt aim for you and recoil actually existed and you couldnt turn every single gun into the OG MW2 ACR it had bad 'ballistics' lmaoooooo, it has better bullet velocity work than any MW has ever had, guns varied from 250meters per second in pistols to over 1600ms in rifles, MW19 and 2022 LEGIT EVERY GUN FEELS THE EXACT FUCKING SAMEEEEEE
actual corner dwelling NPC
The leg position thing is called inverse kinematics
4:38 the tatoo on the atm in CW reminds me of farcry 2 ...he also has tatto similar to this one ...
I love the super high resolution cold war textures. I don't understand why the texture resolution is lower in mw2 than in cw.
ik mw2 is supposed to look realistic but cw just looks better. Better color pallet sharper and glossier textures
Cold War looks far more arcadey and rubbery than MW, unless I’m not following wym
@@ragedkill2897 and plus mw2019 looks ten times better than modern warfare 2.
I’d still say this isn’t a fair comparison since Cold War was developed for less than a year
less than a year and still an amazing game wow
When I saw the video I thought it was a character twisting his ankle down the stairs 😆
6:10 ngl that “cant do that in cold war” seemed sassy 😂
I feel like cold war would’ve been the best cod if they had more time working on it. I heard they had 6 months to work on it.
It was around a year but yes, significantly less time than everyone else. They also helped on the past 3 cod games but had no help on theirs.
Thats because treyarch had to take over after SHG messed it up so badly.
say what you want but when i was playing cold war it actually felt like i was playing a COD
Throwing back enemy grenades has always been a feature.
Dude the metal hotspots are sick 💟
2:21 the look on her face says it all
Both have goods amount of details
I love how the video goes from “Walking on Shell Casings” to “Ear Cartilage”
Cold war operators are trained professionals. They have learned the ways of the wizards.
Now imagine if we got a new cod every 3-4 years, and all the teams worked together on that title. So much perfection from a studio.. so much potential perfection…

Not movement
Movement sucks in MWll bro
@@CoolManCoolMan123 just because you can’t slide in circles and sprint non stop does not mean its bad, more limited yes but better IMO I want a cod that plays a bit slower, which honestly this is still fast cause its still cod but goddamn its so bad and funny to see people slide in a circle around someone with no momentum at all just slide jump slide jump slide jump. Just a meta to slide and jump to move no strategy in positiong at all
@@CoolManCoolMan123 why? Because you can't do some stupid exploits like slide canceling? Is that it???
To everyone against me, I hated slide cancelling in MW19. I hated that game in general.
I think the lack of detail also has to do with black ops gameplay being more arcade orientated while modern warfare has always been a more tactical and realistic saga, the fast and frenetic gameplay of cold war normally does not give time for players to take a look at minor details so the devs really don't pay to much attention to adding them. modern warfare has a more slow gameplay so minors details are more important for the inmersion (obviously this also has to do with the difference of development time cold war had compared to mw2)
When I’m in a range I keep both my eyes open when scanning for targets and close one eye when I’ve identified a target and actually aim.
The reason Cold War had such weird third person animations is because they literally attached the same first person animations to the third person body which meant the stock would clip through the body.
Mw2 also uses this but has a lot of restraint with the more simpler but less glitchy third person animations but inspects also use the same first person animations too.
Basically budget difference are night n day
They're not the same anims, they're actually entirely separate
Not true. FPS games use separate first and third person models. If they used the same model then there wouldn’t be a head, neck or abdomen visible in third person
Literal definition of what a rushed game compared to a more complete game. Never forget that Cold War was made in 11 months compared to MW2's full 3 yr cycle, no thanks to Sledge and Raven for arguing about the project.
false. the black ops series was never super detailed because they focus on being an arcade shooter and on gameplay. these details also tend to get lowered in quality and are not even noticed so can be cut to save money and time. even in 11 months cold war was still better than 2019 mw which only focused on being graphically great.
@@blvckl0tcs750 if u mean copying and using an old ass engine from CoD4 means 'focus on being arcade shooter' due to their lack of time then sure LMAO.

@@ivanmcrae9705 no my "opinion" is based on the realistic comparison using facts and what's evidently there. Also are you saying the black ops series had never focused on being an arcade shooter rn?? Sure they had and old engine but having an old engine don't change how you make a game. You taking about stay on point but failing to realize it's comparing a team that has never put graphics first over gameplay vs one that is vice versa. If you want a fairer comparison this should be sledgehammer vs Infinity ward. They crazy part is you still ignorantly failed to acknowledge what made 2019 a worse game than CW: The fact that they put gameplay mechanics over graphics. People don't want polished trash. They want a game with moderate graphics and good gameplay. Which is what black ops as a series has always done. Furthermore you want to shot on CW so bad yet not even acknowledging Vanguard.

why would you compare the footing things so horribly? In MW2 you had stairs and a slope, and in Cold War, you put him on the edge of a boulder. There were literally sand dunes right behind you. It even looked like the operator's feet were attempting to do exactly what MW2 does.

isnt it harder to actually aim though?

Man. People truly forget that CW didn’t get the same development time as other games. And it wasn’t meant to be super realistic like the MW games.
Cold War > MW2
I disagree. But that’s my opinion, not yours. In MW2, every weapon is good. In Cold War, most of the weapons are quite shit, and the LC-10 is just straight up broken. Plus I prefer MW2’s more classic COD but with more modern elements feel than Cold War’s BO4 feel.
MW is best franchise of COD
you mean black ops
Cold war is like you ordered a COD game from aliexpress compared to MW19 or MW2 Lmaoooo
I think for comparing the lighting/shadows it would've been good to see it both with ray tracing on and off

End of the day Cold War is a FAR superior COD. Not really concerned with these little details when the gameplay is lackluster (MW2). Granted I speak mostly from a competitive COD standpoint. Cold War was far better in every way imaginable
say it again for the crowd. this is what makes that black ops series what it is: an arcade shooter. you dont need fancy details nobody is noticing when the gameplay is good.
@@blvckl0tcs750 exactly, I’m much more concerned with good weapons, well made maps, and useful streaks. And of course as a fan of competitive COD and a person who plays in leagues, a COD that plays well for comp is always a W in my book. And the past two CODS plus MW2019 really lacked any care for competitive. Cold War did well with it. I’m hoping whatever comes after MW2 gives much needed attention to the competitive side of things. I felt Cold War had a good balance between being great for casuals but also comp friendly. (SBMM in pubs aside. But that’s a whole different talk)
@@jacobgrum8829 to tell you the truth cod in general will never be good as a competitive game until a number of things regarding core mechanics are changed. Hopefully with the drastic mechanic change of 2022 MW, things comp wise go for the better.
@@jacobgrum8829 I actually disagree, I didn’t find Cold War’s gameplay enjoyable because it reminded me too much of the failure that was Black Ops 4. I was not a big fan of COD increasing its ttk from split seconds to seconds that much. Especially when both Cold War and Black Ops 4 suffer from one major problem, the dlc guns. And of course, Cold War also had and still has major balance issues. Enter the LC-10, a ‘dlc’ SMG that was supposed to have a slow fire rate but hit hard has been turned into a no recoil laser beam that outguns every single weapon in the game ten fold, just like the VMP in Black Ops 4. At launch, the MP5 for some reason was able to outgun the XM4 at every range while having barely any recoil and being an SMG, it also dealt more damage and seemed to fire faster than the XM4 on top of that. Not much has changed in that regard other than the XM4 is more usable. The secondaries are still heavily lacking compared to other COD games, like if I remember correctly, BO1 had 5 or 6 guns in the pistols category alone, meanwhile Cold War only reached that number near the end of it’s life cycle, also why the hell did the devs think that we need 11 melee weapons which only like 3 or 4 of them are actually unique (Those being combat knife, sledgehammer, Sai, and the e-tool which is essentially just the golden knife from COD Ghosts), the rest are just shitty reskins.
The weapon variety was also shit, the game has so many assault rifles and smgs that most behave the exact same way that it makes the game boring, its like using the exact same gun but it just has a different model and animation, that’s it. Meanwhile categories like LMGs, Tactical rifles, pistols and shotguns were left in the dust most of the time.
Gameplay-wise, Cold War is nothing special, if anything I would call it a downgrade of Black Ops 1. All the guns felt absolutely weak, the sniper rifles were nerfed so bad that it made the SVU from BO2 look like an exceptional sniper, the gunsmith felt so uninspired that they could have changed it to the classic one/two attachments on a gun with the classic attachments and no one would bat an eye, slow firing guns are at a constant disadvantage because guns that fire faster are more reliable at all times, Warzone integration (Warzone was much better before Cold War weapons were added, and I believe that Cold War would’ve been better too without Warzone, though I will admit, I enjoyed using the Stone operator in Warzone before Cold War was fully integrated), and the Open Alpha version of the game was much better than what it is now (except for zombies, I like the zombies mode the most).
In conclusion, I think that Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War overall is in between ‘bad’ and ‘below average’ in a sense that the game tries to go back to CODs arcadey style of gameplay like Black Ops 1 and sort of fails to do so by doing the exact same thing Black Ops 3 and 4 did, adding way too many dlc weapons and adding unnecessary mechanics (like the operator system) into their game.
@@theescapeplan3876 I actually widely agree with what you’re saying. When I say it was a “good” COD I’m more so referring to the Warzone era so MW2019, CW, Vanguard, MW2. The TTK was a tad long and pubs were a bit annoying mid to late in the games life cycle due to DLC weapons. Overall tho I was more or less speaking MOSTLY from the side of competitive cod. It had a good skill gap, the AR’s and SMG’s were balanced on the map, and the maps were more 3 lane maps which is what COD should be. I certainly had my issues with Cold War, but in this new era of COD I feel it was the best. Personally I think Vanguard was a few design choices away from actually being decent but that’s a different talk. But I see your points and mostly agree with them all
With Iron sights you are supposed to aim with one eye closed, with dot optics you dont need to as its much easier to hold a sight picture and like other have said it gives you better spacial awareness. Funny enough in cold war she has both eyes open holding a sniper and normally you would have one eye closed to focus better with a larger scope. So MW2 was actually right and cold war was still wrong/worse.
in cold war the character is LOOKING AROUND WHILE AIMING DOWN SIGHTS. its almost like the devs doesn't want modern warfare to get dethroned and i respect that.
The technical term for the light going through the cartilage of the ear is "subsurface scattering."
