To give a quick rundown of the story. When the ODIN strikes in the opening of the campaign occur the Cryptids in an Ark are awoken and begin killing everything, hence the nuke because they learned that the cryptids were coming out of the structure. In Nightfall, you learn a lot about the story if you pay attention to the background stuff happening. Mayday was an operation to recover Samantha Cross. Awakening takes place in an Ark underneath the Pacific Ocean, and due to the events of the extinction team, the Anciets send an "awakening" to the other Arks telling them to wake up and reclaim the Earth. Exodus takes place 2 months after the Awakening. In the time preceeding the map exodus, nearly the entirety of the human race was killed. The reason you are starting up those generators is to power up the Medusa weapon system which relies on the Codex (the thing you got in Awakening) to fry the brains of every cryptid around the launch site of the Exodus rocket which presumably has the last humans on Earth on it. The ending cutscene alludes to the continuation of the story of humans coming back and retaking earth from the Cryptids
I really don't understand why people hated this so much,I loved it back in the day and it was a blast playing and unlocking upgrades. Sadly I only had the base map and the first dlc
Definitely because everyone was comparing it to zombies But if you see it as its own thing, it's still good as its own original, chaotic defense and progression mode
Extinction is a weird game mode. It's an A tier survival mode when you had good teammate but it borders B and C tier when you're playing alone. The game mode is well designed and fun but anything past Point of Contact was evidently designed for team play rather than solo.
When Ghosts was in its heyday I played the crap out of Extinction, usually solo. There used to be some great guides on soloing each of the maps. I remember beating the kraken solo first try and feeling awesome about it.
Extinction is something I've always wanted to return but never expect to come back. It took over my gaming time for so long, probably enjoy it lore than zombies because of the progression and upfront objectives with a true endgoal.
@@GothicHellhound technically not aliens but cryptids lol. They existed before us and were uncovered by miners b4 the point of contact mission. KnOw UrE lOrE! nOrMiE! lol
The story is really interesting. The main girl Samantha is a genius at learning languages. She’s able to translate the cryptid language but becomes brainwashed by it, and eventually she’s able to control the cryptids. Archer devised a plan to kill Samantha then use her head/mind to trick and control the cryptids (that’s why you vent the gas into her chamber on Mayday, the goal was to find her on that ship when she caused an outbreak). She summoned the craken which saved her life. Awakening is of course one of the arks where the masters are cryogenically frozen, which I find super interesting because nobody could possibly know they were in there. Basically Samantha agrees to help the military by the end of it once the massive cryptid invasion starts, but is revealed to be a pawn in their plan in the final cutscene.
Ah, I just wish cod ghosts 2 to be real..... The multiplayer was Ok and I really liked this mode the campaign was (at least for me) better than BO2 (I don't know why, but I kinda disliked the BO2 campaign, BO1 is so much better and playing as Mason son's just seems like what Disney does with movie remakes, more of the same but not as good... Or maybe the weight of the nostalgia from playing BO1 as a kid is so much bigger)
@@joaomatheus7988 bro I respect your opinion but ghosts campaign story is LEAGUES behind the story of bo1 and bo2. In every way. The voice acting in ghosts is awful (like when the sons discover his dad is a ghost). The fact that the silent protagonist doesn’t work at all. The reason why Rorke is seeking vengeance. Like sure he was brainwashed but why does he have to go out of his way and spew all that hate to his ex-comrades? They tried to save him but couldn’t, was Rorke not able to see that in all his intelligence? The characters are not lovable at all. People keep getting shot and they don’t die. How did Rorke survive all that at the end?! I think it was the TH-cam Act Man that points out all the flaws in the campaign and even though I was looking forward to a ghosts 2 at some point, not anymore because I realized how awful it is.
@@co7769 BO1 I agree, but BO2 I see as one of the worst of the "good" cod's, I could use almost all off your arguments to describe Menendez and the way you kill your dad on that flashback.
@@co7769 i’ll be completely honest with you his ghost video is bad it’s just him hating on the game it wasn’t even review (a review is when you talk about both the good and bad things) he only talked about the bad I didn’t hear him say one good thing about ghosts which is kind of sad because I did like the story of ghosts both extinction and the campaign sure they had their flaws but they were still good story’s
This is my most played gamemode in cod, easily over 1000 hours. Seeing this video almost makes me want to buy and replay it all over again. I would love to see it back someday. Even if it's not, it did me well with the good times and friends I made playing it.
Same for me, I had it on my xbox 360 (which is now dead) and I played all maps for very long time, I had so much fun, I loved it. I might download the IWx6 tho, it's free installation and I think you can play with other IWx6 users
dude i still have the game i still play sometime in my xbox 360 sure he dosent have anyone who play it but is fun to do in solo but that make me sad to think in that time i play with good friend like 10h a day if is not more for me those game in nowday is boring not give the best feeling that we have in the old time when we play with friend and now nothing
I have a mint condition xbone gold edition, couldn’t be happier. Just spent the last 5 hours playing all the maps before I found this video and I’m glad people are trying to enjoy it
Extinction was absolutely chaos in the funnest way ever. You had to worry about not dying while protecting the drill and dodging scorpions. It gave you more to think about besides surviving.
Finally, a youtuber who likes extinction, it's really underrated because no one gave it a chance and its apart of a "bad" cod game and isn't zombies, but exctintion was a really fun unique experience.
Honestly, extinction really carried Ghosts for me. I wasn't a fan of the multiplayer but playing extinction with my friend was a lot of fun. I honestly wish Infinity Ward kept making a game mode like extinction for every game. Here's hoping for MWII to have it!
I at one point hated extinction because I loved the feel of an endless zombies. but a decade later and I'm growing more onto objective based games while occasionally returning to og zombies.
Highkey extinction is just an attempt to do special gamemodes other than zombies, they did great but zombies nazis shit on it for being different to the point that new players didn't give it a chance. Literally one of the first instances of cancel culture💀
It seems like Cold War zombies took a lot of inspiration from extinction. Like the post-game upgrade system, the objective based game mode, and the exfil mechanic(in Cold War). Really cool tbh
Extinction was amazing. Good story, fun gameplay and a super tight knit community now that it's so small. Absolutely recommend everyone to go back and play it as it's a hidden gem in a sea of mediocre recent CoDs and their respective survival modes
No one will ever be good enough at Extinction to beat Exodus on hardcore with all relics active and no armory/teeth unlocks. It is the hardest challenge in cod history.
@@DreadHalfling9 is not just for theeth is because the LB to more relic more point more harder and not just for flex but is make it to harder that is sure people cant do that
yeah that sure 100% impossible to a expert for do a chalege like this i try with my friend before just 1 time in point of contact in harcare with like 4-5 relic and crap that be just insane just for can do the first stage or the second
10 relics was just beat btw, but not with your dumb unrealistic standards, it's already impossible to beat with just the 10 relics, at least it was impossible until now.
I remember one of the most annoying parts of the online multiplayer for Extinction (good luck doing that now, lol) is that people would screw up the challenges instantly that you needed for the extra money. For instance, I remember vividly that the first few challenges involved a 'hit percentage' goal. Miss no more than like 50-75% of your shots. The obvious strat was to shoot 1 bullet, get a hit, then knife the rest of the creatures. We failed that challenge 3 out of 4 times in pub lobbies. We rarely got past the second part of the first mission. The first defense of the first mission was also difficult for some reason.
There are some Ghosts devs who are probably watching this and thankful that someone appreciated the work that went into this mode. I didn't even know they had maps past the first one! It doesn't make me want to play it again, but it's cool that they went the extra mile with these map designs. With how badly Ghosts tanked, they really didn't need to go the extra mile and make some of these look as good as they did.
I just wanna say thank you to the youtubers still making content off extinction and all the online players i have had the privilege to play with, all serious&great players. I'm suprised to still see people playing I might be on&off on extinction but ik i can always come back to it.
I remember watching my dad play this when i was younger. I've only remembered tid bits of it from then and I didn't have a clue what it was called. This is that game. This randomly popped up in my recommended. I know you probably won't see this, but thank you.
This brings back a lot! Actually the story is super well thought and makes it a hundred times more pleasant to play. The "girl's" name is also Samantha and she controls the aliens againts her will (sounds familiar? lol)but it is honestly a RIDE. Also the "Blue" aliens are called Panthoms lol (they both tp while going invisible) and the little ones in mayday that plants those annoying turrets are called "Seeders" oh and you can actually get the Venom before going up into the container, you missed the first door.
I played this game mode nonstop back in the day. I'll give you a rundown of the different aliens and how strong they are.(I'll go map order for them). The ones you saw at the beginning of PoC were Scouts, they're the grunt force of the Cryptids and pretty easy to kill. The next was the Hunter. They look exactly like the Scout, but the headplate armor is a lot thicker, they're a little stronger and they're a bit bigger. The next one would be the Leper, which I can't remember if it shows in Solo. Think Hunter in Scouts body without the power or armor. He just kinda jumps around. Also he really only shows when you get the challenge to kill him in 30 seconds. He also glows a little differently than the Scout, (Feral Instincts help locate him really fast if you get the challenge). The Scorpion shoots at you and is the only one that damages the helicopter, but like at one point in the video, you should focus on prioritizing the Cryptid aliens based on current objectives. Also they kinda have a set route to go on. The acid they shoot at you/the helicopter is corrosive and lingers a little. The ones that come out of the meteorites are Seekers. They're pretty easy to kill, but getting swarmed or if they're right on top of you isn't ideal. They're like Nova 6 Crawlers from Kino. They explode upon death. The last one for PoC is the Rhino. They're the heavy ones and do a lot of damage. Armor Piercing rounds or Explosive Rounds worked best for me. Also they only really appear at certain predetermined spots to throw a little chaos into the action. In "Nightfall" the blue Cryptid is basically another evolution of a Hunter. They just go invisible, although they look like they teleport. The only other new Cryptid we see was the Breeder. The big spider boss that grabs the dude from the intro and the last one on "Nightfall". The next map was "Mayday" and we see basically the same ones from the previous two but with 2 new ones. The Seeder is a "hybrid" of both the Seeker and the Scorpion. Does the same basic stuff as those two but can climb walls and are the only Cryptid to be able to walk across the ceiling. Also can spawn a pod which will turn into a Seeder Turret. Shoot it before it sprouts. The next one was the big Kraken. Only identified Cryptid to be known to swim. The last two maps I'll put together is "Awakening" and "Exodus". You get a couple new Cryptids, the bomber is just a flying Seeker, and the Gargoyle is just a flying Scorpion. The blue Rhino is a Mammoth. Stronger, can summon Hunters to assist and can also dig underground to go to another location. Finally, we get the Ancestor. They're the top of the food chain within the Cryptid world. They telepathically communicate with the lower Cryptids. (Looks like the radioactivity from Bikini Bottom really got to Squidward?). "Exodus" is more or less the ground/air Cryptids serving the Ancestors. There was only one listed Cryptid that was cut from the game, and it was the Cricket. Bigger Hunter that makes a cricket noise when the bait lures are rubbed together. The campaign from Ghosts has a lot of ties to the Extinction story. (Sorry for a textdump, I saw an opportunity)
00:23 yes, it is an amazing game mode. It has been one of my favorites to play for a while. I miss the love they put in it. Hopefully they bring it back or something similar.
Was an awesome game mode, unjustified hate and I had hundreds of hours with mates from high school clearing extinction maps, just like on bo1, bo2 zombies. Good times, good vibes
Most people that hate ghost and this game mode are solo players following a band wagon 😂 I remember bringing my tv and ps4 over to my friends appartement and play ghost all night
the game itself is kind of mediocre, But I have yet to see anybody complain about the genuine extinction mode without just saying "It's different that what I'm used to and I don't like it."
i have some very fun and fond memories playing extinction with my friends back in the day.. we bought all the dlcs and beat all of them. Absolutely underrated and super super fun. Definitely recommend lol.
Been loving your vids bro! Convinced me to buy ghosts on steam and me and my mate are having a blast jamming extinction, its so nostalgic. Keen on some more content keep it up!
I've been wanting to download ghost to play extinction for quite some time now and watching this video that popped up in my feed made me want to download it and relive those memories again. Great video man 👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love ghost. For some reason, i loved the aliens instead of zombies. I also love finding arks to attach to my weapons. Makes the game a little easier. Anyways, just found your channel and subscribed.
I'm about to redownload it because watching you is bringing back memories. I was one of the few that stuck with the game and played till the very end. I loved this game so much I never understood why everyone hated on it. Multiplayer was fun especially with the maps with special care packages and the CO op was fire as well. Then extinction I remember when I couldn't even beat point of contact, but once I beat it the first time I could not fail again.
You always put so much effort into your videos. Thank you so much for playing these lesser known games and actually putting in the effort to beat them all, especially all in one video.
2:12 "Scorpion Zombies" are one of the most annoying types in my opinion this game mode is one of my favourite games of all time, i have played for years....... never gotten very good or a lot of teeth... but i know a lot about how the game plays, great video, im glad to see others enjoying it
2 things to mention about point of contact 1. when the helicopter is shooting a hive you can join in and shoot it as well 2. when the meteors are blocking your escape you can also just wait around
I use to consume this game like crack. My brother and I would grind each new map until we had it down and could farm the progression system. It can't be stated enough, they need to bring this back.
Fun fact, all the exctiction maps are actually movies, confirmed by Lee Ross it's creator, they were referenced in iw zombies and also willard wyler threw characters in them just like in iw zombies
@@XOFInfantrymanIt’s not even a retcon, in IW Zombies that’s how it is. But Infinite Warfare and Ghosts aren’t connected so there is no retconning happening. It’s just how it is for IW Zombies. A reference and reuse of the Cryptids.
I think it was better than zombies. The replayability was amazing with the armory and farming for the teeth. Story line was great. Big black ops 1 zombie guy here too. Ild school zombies and extinction were perfect. Make them easier for all of to play again. Expensive if you have to buy them right now and no one to play with.....
I need more people to play this game with. I loved it as a kid and still do since it’s a lot of fun with a lot of replay ability with its restrictions you can put on.
Extinction used to and still kinda is one of my fav zombies/ survival games modes of all the ones I've played. At the start of playing the game unlocking everything is exciting, figuring out which gun, attachments, loadouts are the best and so on but you find a new enjoyment beating maps with multiple relics on, unlocking expensive teeth upgrades and makes it so much fun even for solo. It's so much fun to play co-op when I get someone on and really makes it a blast. I've already got all the achievements and the only thing I have to work forward to now is max rank, if I go back to this. All this was reliving some fond memories, also like how some key life saving weapons and grenade/ tacticals were just glossed over and disregarded, they are a must on maps like exodus. Anyways, good video.
genuinely glad weve finally gotten to the point that new cods are so bad that this ol gem is finally getting the attention it should’ve gotten back in the day
@@Commissioner. they also removed the thermal hybrid optic which ticked me off because of how great that sight was. the highlighted cryptid overlay was like feral instincts but without the wallhacks, and made target acquisition so easy. i didnt even realize it was ever in the mode until i took my disc over to my friend's house and played on his account where his ps3 account still had the day1 version of the game (he played it on ps4), and found that in a search pile. this was after i had been avidly playing the mode for years and it felt so weird
Ah extinction was the biggest underated gem of survival modes, i remember trying it and noticing how very different it was from zombies but everyone myself included throw it at the trashcan the moment it was announced but now here i am thinking if only people actually gave it a chance back in the day
Duuuude! Absolutely loved this game mode! Felt like people hated it because they thought it was hard or didn’t understand the systems given to you! Either way I’m back on it too and been having fun until I’m trying to solo the Always Hard Achievement.. kicking my ass.. 😂😂
Loved playing this with my best friend in 3rd grade. Just moved to a new town and we had a mutual love for games. Me and him discovered extinction in ghost together and fell in love with it
I spent a couple months playing extinction constantly not long ago cuz i love it. My cousin and I were grinding for teeth and beat all maps with relics. It has some flaws but i miss it. A new version would be cool....
I didn’t have much money as a kid. I loved playing the first map so many times, I remember the map layout pretty well. I might try getting Ghosts on PC and finding some homies to play this with
Loved extinction especially when you get the arc’s and all the other upgrades with teeth. Cause then you can start playing with the restrictions and stuff which is a ton of fun. Also, if you want an easy game then run the grenade turret. It’s really op.
I noticed on awakening you had a key the entire time. If you don't know there are lockers around the map which you can use those keys for, and the open lockers have fully decked out weapons
Extinction is great, there are also a lot of hidden easter eggs that can improve the gameplay a lot. Like hitting the LOL written on a sign in the first zone of Point of contact, collecting the 3 eyes in exodus, shooting the eggs in awakening. Those kind of thing made the game so cool
Not a lot of things make me emotional or sad. But every time I think about ghosts I get so sad and almost depressed even. I honestly think ghosts was one of the best cods ever made in my opinion and they should do a remaster if they don’t ever make a second one. And obviously growing up with this being my main cod it really helped me understand and get better at other cods in the future. So seeing this video really made my day 🥹🥲
Btw if you grab all the propane tanks throw them into the hive pull out a mini gun and shoot the hive then the hive will more than likely be destroyed before the helicopter is even damaged, id recommend if you find the bombing binoculars thingys then keep em until the next hive unless if it's after the first hive because that thing SHREDS the hives
There was a glitch that allowed you carry more than 3 guns. This made solo play much more fun and viable. I think I was able to solo all the maps, give or take 1
You mentioned there wasn't a lot of stuff on extinction. As someone who played it a TON ill tell you the grenade turret is OP and makes it super easy to do 9 relic runs of maps.
As a professional scuba diver I love the detail on the dive computer. One thing I have to ask though is WHY HAS IT BEEN 131 DAYS SINCE YOUR LAST DIVE?!!!
Just some commentary and discussion For the point of contact segment I think certain teeth unlocks make the game more fun like extra cash and extra skill point. Second, I don't know how the community refers to them but the game doesn't consider base equipment level one. So it'd be level three pistols as an example. This doesn't matter at all but it's extinction, every little bit is worth the conversation. Third the first Rhino you face in this map can actually be skipped if you just wait a minute to let it walk off Fourth the traps on Point of Contact are actually really good, except in the third segment. Fifth some good weapons for the map aside from the sniper is the MR28, first area to the right, below the scaffolding, the IR LMG, second area on the first scaffolding to the left coming in, and the chain saw, third area barn. Sixth the meteors during the chase segment end based on time

I remember one of the most annoying parts of the online multiplayer for Extinction (good luck doing that now, lol) is that people would screw up the challenges instantly that you needed for the extra money.
For instance, I remember vividly that the first few challenges involved a 'hit percentage' goal. Miss no more than like 50-75% of your shots. The obvious strat was to shoot 1 bullet, get a hit, then knife the rest of the creatures.
We failed that challenge 3 out of 4 times in pub lobbies. We rarely got past the second part of the first mission. The first defense of the first mission was also difficult for some reason.
"Guys, the thermal drill, go get it."
There are some Ghosts devs who are probably watching this and thankful that someone appreciated the work that went into this mode. I didn't even know they had maps past the first one! It doesn't make me want to play it again, but it's cool that they went the extra mile with these map designs. With how badly Ghosts tanked, they really didn't need to go the extra mile and make some of these look as good as they did.
Come back to the Game
Ghosts was over hated. It was a phenomenal cod.
I love extinction, nice job. I've managed to solo all maps but awakening. Those gargoyles are ruthless. Keep up the good work bro
I just wanna say thank you to the youtubers still making content off extinction and all the online players i have had the privilege to play with, all serious&great players. I'm suprised to still see people playing I might be on&off on extinction but ik i can always come back to it.
Me too man.
I remember watching my dad play this when i was younger. I've only remembered tid bits of it from then and I didn't have a clue what it was called. This is that game. This randomly popped up in my recommended. I know you probably won't see this, but thank you.
This brings back a lot! Actually the story is super well thought and makes it a hundred times more pleasant to play. The "girl's" name is also Samantha and she controls the aliens againts her will (sounds familiar? lol)but it is honestly a RIDE. Also the "Blue" aliens are called Panthoms lol (they both tp while going invisible) and the little ones in mayday that plants those annoying turrets are called "Seeders" oh and you can actually get the Venom before going up into the container, you missed the first door.
This brings me back so much Nostalgia, I remember playing this and having so much fun!
I played this game mode nonstop back in the day. I'll give you a rundown of the different aliens and how strong they are.(I'll go map order for them). The ones you saw at the beginning of PoC were Scouts, they're the grunt force of the Cryptids and pretty easy to kill. The next was the Hunter. They look exactly like the Scout, but the headplate armor is a lot thicker, they're a little stronger and they're a bit bigger. The next one would be the Leper, which I can't remember if it shows in Solo. Think Hunter in Scouts body without the power or armor. He just kinda jumps around. Also he really only shows when you get the challenge to kill him in 30 seconds. He also glows a little differently than the Scout, (Feral Instincts help locate him really fast if you get the challenge). The Scorpion shoots at you and is the only one that damages the helicopter, but like at one point in the video, you should focus on prioritizing the Cryptid aliens based on current objectives. Also they kinda have a set route to go on. The acid they shoot at you/the helicopter is corrosive and lingers a little. The ones that come out of the meteorites are Seekers. They're pretty easy to kill, but getting swarmed or if they're right on top of you isn't ideal. They're like Nova 6 Crawlers from Kino. They explode upon death. The last one for PoC is the Rhino. They're the heavy ones and do a lot of damage. Armor Piercing rounds or Explosive Rounds worked best for me. Also they only really appear at certain predetermined spots to throw a little chaos into the action. In "Nightfall" the blue Cryptid is basically another evolution of a Hunter. They just go invisible, although they look like they teleport. The only other new Cryptid we see was the Breeder. The big spider boss that grabs the dude from the intro and the last one on "Nightfall". The next map was "Mayday" and we see basically the same ones from the previous two but with 2 new ones. The Seeder is a "hybrid" of both the Seeker and the Scorpion. Does the same basic stuff as those two but can climb walls and are the only Cryptid to be able to walk across the ceiling. Also can spawn a pod which will turn into a Seeder Turret. Shoot it before it sprouts. The next one was the big Kraken. Only identified Cryptid to be known to swim. The last two maps I'll put together is "Awakening" and "Exodus". You get a couple new Cryptids, the bomber is just a flying Seeker, and the Gargoyle is just a flying Scorpion. The blue Rhino is a Mammoth. Stronger, can summon Hunters to assist and can also dig underground to go to another location. Finally, we get the Ancestor. They're the top of the food chain within the Cryptid world. They telepathically communicate with the lower Cryptids. (Looks like the radioactivity from Bikini Bottom really got to Squidward?). "Exodus" is more or less the ground/air Cryptids serving the Ancestors. There was only one listed Cryptid that was cut from the game, and it was the Cricket. Bigger Hunter that makes a cricket noise when the bait lures are rubbed together. The campaign from Ghosts has a lot of ties to the Extinction story. (Sorry for a textdump, I saw an opportunity)
I think the blue one is Called the phantom
@@arnerippey3677 Yes.
@@kurtzlundstedt6127 you may just want to add that
00:23 yes, it is an amazing game mode. It has been one of my favorites to play for a while. I miss the love they put in it. Hopefully they bring it back or something similar.
People didn't like Extinction because they played it like zombies when it wasn't
Or probably because it wasn't zombies. People be tripping for no reason
Was an awesome game mode, unjustified hate and I had hundreds of hours with mates from high school clearing extinction maps, just like on bo1, bo2 zombies. Good times, good vibes
Most people that hate ghost and this game mode are solo players following a band wagon 😂 I remember bringing my tv and ps4 over to my friends appartement and play ghost all night
the game itself is kind of mediocre, But I have yet to see anybody complain about the genuine extinction mode without just saying "It's different that what I'm used to and I don't like it."
@@AverageDunce”humans fear what is different”
This gamemode aged well compared to other gamemodes left behind by cod
i have some very fun and fond memories playing extinction with my friends back in the day.. we bought all the dlcs and beat all of them. Absolutely underrated and super super fun. Definitely recommend lol.
i love this mode, I’m glad you went back and enjoyed it yourself
I loved extinction so much I put so many hours into the first map because I never had WiFi or any of the DLCs
Fun fact: the guy who gets killed at 6:09 is actually the guy who gives you the drill in Point of Contact
I knew it me and my friend were just talking about that but we weren’t fully sure if it was really him or not.
The very first COD to introduce objectives in a zombies-like game mode
Been loving your vids bro! Convinced me to buy ghosts on steam and me and my mate are having a blast jamming extinction, its so nostalgic.
Keen on some more content keep it up!
Hey man just whanna say thanks. It's 3am and my son is sleeping but quite sick and this is the only thing keeping me awake. Videos awesome so far.
Extinction imo was overhated and I loved it so much because of how unique it was to everything else at that time
Oh the hours spent playing this with tha homies. Definitely one of CODs most underrated modes.
Glad I am not the only one still playing extinction till this day.good times. Hopefully in the future another extinction
I almost NEVER commented on vids but thanks for making this. I love extinction
I've been wanting to download ghost to play extinction for quite some time now and watching this video that popped up in my feed made me want to download it and relive those memories again. Great video man 👌🏽👌🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love ghost. For some reason, i loved the aliens instead of zombies. I also love finding arks to attach to my weapons. Makes the game a little easier. Anyways, just found your channel and subscribed.
I'm about to redownload it because watching you is bringing back memories. I was one of the few that stuck with the game and played till the very end. I loved this game so much I never understood why everyone hated on it. Multiplayer was fun especially with the maps with special care packages and the CO op was fire as well. Then extinction I remember when I couldn't even beat point of contact, but once I beat it the first time I could not fail again.
You always put so much effort into your videos. Thank you so much for playing these lesser known games and actually putting in the effort to beat them all, especially all in one video.
2:12 "Scorpion Zombies" are one of the most annoying types in my opinion
this game mode is one of my favourite games of all time, i have played for years....... never gotten very good or a lot of teeth... but i know a lot about how the game plays, great video, im glad to see others enjoying it
Extinction is a buried gem
Not hidden, because they all saw it, but buried, because they denied it
2 things to mention about point of contact
1. when the helicopter is shooting a hive you can join in and shoot it as well
2. when the meteors are blocking your escape you can also just wait around
I've actually never heard of this tbh. I played ghost when it came out, but that's about it. Thanks for introducing it!
I've been playing this game for nearly 10 years and I just realized that the Trophy System shoots down scorpion projectiles within range.
Yeah, that’s kinda the point of it. What do you think it did? lol
@@HenryMyth I honestly thought it did nothing. I knew that it could take down missiles in multiplayer, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together.
Bro this hit hard this was actually so well made
I use to consume this game like crack. My brother and I would grind each new map until we had it down and could farm the progression system. It can't be stated enough, they need to bring this back.
This game was way better than people made it out to be. I have some of my favorite gaming memories from this game
Fun fact, all the exctiction maps are actually movies, confirmed by Lee Ross it's creator, they were referenced in iw zombies and also willard wyler threw characters in them just like in iw zombies
No, its just a really crappy retcon that nobody asked for
Nobody should ever acknowledge this "reference" as canon or whatever
@@XOFInfantrymanIt’s not even a retcon, in IW Zombies that’s how it is. But Infinite Warfare and Ghosts aren’t connected so there is no retconning happening.
It’s just how it is for IW Zombies. A reference and reuse of the Cryptids.
he’s right that’s lame
I think it was better than zombies. The replayability was amazing with the armory and farming for the teeth. Story line was great. Big black ops 1 zombie guy here too. Ild school zombies and extinction were perfect. Make them easier for all of to play again. Expensive if you have to buy them right now and no one to play with.....
I need more people to play this game with. I loved it as a kid and still do since it’s a lot of fun with a lot of replay ability with its restrictions you can put on.
Extinction used to and still kinda is one of my fav zombies/ survival games modes of all the ones I've played. At the start of playing the game unlocking everything is exciting, figuring out which gun, attachments, loadouts are the best and so on but you find a new enjoyment beating maps with multiple relics on, unlocking expensive teeth upgrades and makes it so much fun even for solo. It's so much fun to play co-op when I get someone on and really makes it a blast. I've already got all the achievements and the only thing I have to work forward to now is max rank, if I go back to this. All this was reliving some fond memories, also like how some key life saving weapons and grenade/ tacticals were just glossed over and disregarded, they are a must on maps like exodus. Anyways, good video.
I think the reason why people hated it was just because it wasn’t zombies.
The modern zombies just further proves that Extinction was way ahead of its time
I really hope that we can get more Extinction in the future, it was so fun!
genuinely glad weve finally gotten to the point that new cods are so bad that this ol gem is finally getting the attention it should’ve gotten back in the day
Only the OGs remember the Sniper LoL EE and using a sentry to clip through the fence to get faster times on Point of Contact
Or the Honeybadger being removed being OP
@@Commissioner. they also removed the thermal hybrid optic which ticked me off because of how great that sight was. the highlighted cryptid overlay was like feral instincts but without the wallhacks, and made target acquisition so easy. i didnt even realize it was ever in the mode until i took my disc over to my friend's house and played on his account where his ps3 account still had the day1 version of the game (he played it on ps4), and found that in a search pile. this was after i had been avidly playing the mode for years and it felt so weird
Didn’t realise how much effort went into extinction it really is underrated but that’s why it will unfortunately never come back
Ah extinction was the biggest underated gem of survival modes, i remember trying it and noticing how very different it was from zombies but everyone myself included throw it at the trashcan the moment it was announced but now here i am thinking if only people actually gave it a chance back in the day
16:36 JESUS! When did I stop playing CoD and start playing Halo!? Amiright?
Makes me sad not knowing where this style of gameplay would of gone for CoD. I hope the dev team went on to go great things!,
Gotta give it some love, my fav cod game mode since I was about eight lol
This mode needs to comeback it was literally the best part of ghosts
Extinction is actually the only gamemode I like in call of duty. It's probably the main reason ghosts is my favorite game in the series too.
Duuuude! Absolutely loved this game mode! Felt like people hated it because they thought it was hard or didn’t understand the systems given to you! Either way I’m back on it too and been having fun until I’m trying to solo the Always Hard Achievement.. kicking my ass.. 😂😂
Loved playing this with my best friend in 3rd grade. Just moved to a new town and we had a mutual love for games. Me and him discovered extinction in ghost together and fell in love with it
Who else is watching not knowing what’s going on but appreciates the content from Samuel
legend
My wet dream it's cod Ghost 2 both for the main story and extinction. Even if after exodus there's not much that remains
I spent a couple months playing extinction constantly not long ago cuz i love it. My cousin and I were grinding for teeth and beat all maps with relics. It has some flaws but i miss it. A new version would be cool....
No bs, no " Sub, like, share, follow ", Just pure content and to the meat and potatoes
An amazing video, props to you man
This game is the epitome of my childhood
This video really helped me. Thank you very much!
Loved this mode I wish we'd get a similar mode in a new cod game. Modes like this could be really good with how far technology has come.
Ghost in general was mad slept on but it’s one of my favs! Extinction was 🔥
I didn’t have much money as a kid. I loved playing the first map so many times, I remember the map layout pretty well. I might try getting Ghosts on PC and finding some homies to play this with
Extinction has to be my favorite call of duty mode to ever exist
Loved extinction especially when you get the arc’s and all the other upgrades with teeth. Cause then you can start playing with the restrictions and stuff which is a ton of fun. Also, if you want an easy game then run the grenade turret. It’s really op.
6:45 "This boss is called the Breeder"
Brad : *"Jackpot"*
I noticed on awakening you had a key the entire time. If you don't know there are lockers around the map which you can use those keys for, and the open lockers have fully decked out weapons
Extinction is great, there are also a lot of hidden easter eggs that can improve the gameplay a lot. Like hitting the LOL written on a sign in the first zone of Point of contact, collecting the 3 eyes in exodus, shooting the eggs in awakening. Those kind of thing made the game so cool
Not a lot of things make me emotional or sad. But every time I think about ghosts I get so sad and almost depressed even. I honestly think ghosts was one of the best cods ever made in my opinion and they should do a remaster if they don’t ever make a second one. And obviously growing up with this being my main cod it really helped me understand and get better at other cods in the future. So seeing this video really made my day 🥹🥲
Btw if you grab all the propane tanks throw them into the hive pull out a mini gun and shoot the hive then the hive will more than likely be destroyed before the helicopter is even damaged, id recommend if you find the bombing binoculars thingys then keep em until the next hive unless if it's after the first hive because that thing SHREDS the hives
There was a glitch that allowed you carry more than 3 guns. This made solo play much more fun and viable. I think I was able to solo all the maps, give or take 1
Extinction was different Mad respect
Ghost had the prime zombie mode when it came to survival and combat, had a blast with it
Are you a bot
I remember the op gun for weapon specialist was the mr28 marksman rifle. Somehow it was more powerful than even the ai 2
I too am a CoD Ghosts connoisseur, still waiting for a continuation of the campaign
haha this is badass man! thanks for doing extinction justice! i had completely forgot about it until i saw this
You mentioned there wasn't a lot of stuff on extinction. As someone who played it a TON ill tell you the grenade turret is OP and makes it super easy to do 9 relic runs of maps.
For real, you could just solo maps with an upgraded grenade turret.
Its great to see people still playing such an underrated game
Extinction was epic af I loved it and played it for like 2 years with my buddys
As a professional scuba diver I love the detail on the dive computer. One thing I have to ask though is WHY HAS IT BEEN 131 DAYS SINCE YOUR LAST DIVE?!!!
The memories
Just some commentary and discussion
For the point of contact segment I think certain teeth unlocks make the game more fun like extra cash and extra skill point.
Second, I don't know how the community refers to them but the game doesn't consider base equipment level one. So it'd be level three pistols as an example. This doesn't matter at all but it's extinction, every little bit is worth the conversation.
Third the first Rhino you face in this map can actually be skipped if you just wait a minute to let it walk off
Fourth the traps on Point of Contact are actually really good, except in the third segment.
Fifth some good weapons for the map aside from the sniper is the MR28, first area to the right, below the scaffolding, the IR LMG, second area on the first scaffolding to the left coming in, and the chain saw, third area barn.
Sixth the meteors during the chase segment end based on time
Extinction I got so many hours in it I was top 50 on ps4 damn I was living it
This was a great video and analysis on a game mode that I also believe was the most underrated, good job 👍🏽
