But Why? 6 Pointless Changes in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Remastered 

Faxs i was like they finally gave him a voice

I kinda just hate it because it takes away the feeling of the players being there

It was annoying more than anything

And the random little gestures he would do throughout the game. I love being in the middle of a gunfight and Roach just gives a thumbs up for no reason.

First Name Last Name when did he give a thumbs up?

Yes

Yeah wtf

Dosen't make sense

Yuri is not pointless. Makarov is DEAD because of Yuri

Bruh people comapling on your comment BEING IDIOTS xD Yuri isnt useless, and the OP is the person who thinks this

Exactly

I fr cried. Loose ends was sad af

Bruh

@@deadlystalker7483 Emotionally, it's an excellent mission. Narratively? Why? Lets say that the whole point of Shepard's plan is just to spark a war with Russia in order to...... do what? Have more recruits in the US military? Was that all he wanted? So the full story is back in Cod 4, Shepard was in charge of the mission to go after Al Asad and his army got nuked. Shepard's response to that is to implant a CIA agent into a Russian terrorist organization, then leak the identity of the agent to the organization leader. He is then counting on the organization leader doing some huge attack and then turning the agent over to the Russian government. But that requires the agent to be willing to open fire on unarmed civilians instead of just shooting all 4 members of the organization that were with him, including the organization leader, in the back with his lmg and then surrendering to Russian police. So I guess Allen's just a complete psychopath and that's why Shepard picked him. Except it also requires the Russian police not to notice that there's no way in hell that the American they found was shot by anyone other than the terrorists he was with. It had to have been deliberate friendly fire. So that should lead to an investigation, not to an instant war. But it gets worse. You see, why the hell did Shepard kill Task Force 141? There's literally no reason. Maybe there was information on the DSM that proved that Shepard was responsible for Makarov staging his attack. In that case, you have the DSM, just give it to Shadow Company to decrypt the data and tell TF 141 what it needs to know. Tracks covered, you retain your best assets. Or even if he had just been more careful when leaking information to Makarov, there's no reason that Makarov knew who Shepard was or where he was. "We have the DSM. I'll give it to Shadow Company and we'll shut down Makarov." After all the TF 141 boys were exhausted from their battle, send the fresh American boys to go finish the job.

@@squashiejoshie200000 Sheppards whole purpose for starting the war was to become a war hero and make up for the soldiers he lost in mw1 because no one cared when they died to the nuke so he was gonna make people care this time around.

Ikr

i guess it’s more of an obscure detail as opposed to pointless - you have to backtrack after a checkpoint to actually see it

Honestly, about half of the details he mentioned are not pointless at all

DrX2345 I get that but is annoying that he put it in a video titled like that

@@Atesz222 ⬆️This

ThatGuyRyan what I’ve found is that this guy likes to complain about pretty minuscule things

Did I sound like I was actually complaining in this video?

I viewed it as kind of pointless because so few people would've seen it. Had it been elevated a bit more, like as part of a cutscene, it would've been a really smart change.

@@Flakfire That's why it's called an easter egg. It's not exactly in your face and you have to go "off the trail" to spot it. It's a cool change. Some of the thing sin this list i agree with but that's not one of them.

@@Flakfire Only real ones were supposed to see it anyways because the first thing i did was run back because of MW3, same as all my friends that have it, thats why it doesnt tell you or cutscene it because to stay original to MW2 he isnt there and no point is made but carries the continuity to those that played MW3 and Remember him

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYEAAAAHHHHHHHH########

YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Crew Expendable in the original Modern Warfare?

Is it when he’s fighting Shepard and his hat comes off

I think it’s the first mission after they time trial, he pulls his gas mask from his head and you can see his hair

It was weird seeing his hat off

in crew expendable on the cargo ship in the Bering Strait he wears a gas mask leaving him without a hat, thus revealing his bald spot

Merch Bros yes sir

Well it is by far the best improvement in the remaster. It completely took one of the franchises most memorable and heartbreaking moment and took it to a whole new level. It actually made the moment more painful to go through. Such a small added detail that added so much more to such a dreaded moment.

With how much he seemed to call “pointless” I was half expecting him to trash it. The man complained about bubbles for Christ’s sake

I know that one part made me cry

That’s was pointless too

I always thought he did that? Damn is my memory wrong

I'm glad you liked the change. It does make it cooler.

Flakfire yeah, not like the blow torch though

What no it takes the whole craziness away me and my friends hated it the original it portrays captain prices precise aim and didn't shoot the chopper down with 3 bullets he shot the rotor at a precise location

Jonathan vargas even then it wouldn’t cause as much as an explosion as it would if he just shot where the rotors are. They would just seize up causing the Hind to descend into the ground not explode upon being hit. A grenade launcher makes much more sense

Me too!

Same here

I liked the PBS Catalina flight misson

It shouldn't happen

Why not

😂

Mad hacky sack skillz yo

My man spitting facts

I dunno, some changes really are pointless and some effects are less impressive. The knife spin in the original may be unrealistic but it is way more cinematic (MW2 is pretty unrealistic in general) , while the remaster tries to make other scenes more cinematic with unnecesary hollywood sound effects and stuff (just look at ghost and roach death scene they butchered it in the RM). The original is way better imo

Yeah true but it would’ve been a nice callback

Ikr

Fr i was contemplating not buying the game because maybe they made it more friendly or something like that

Yeah this video is just a prick that complains too much

Except 2 the knife and the jumper cables was awesome

@@tenseyyy3019, True, but realistically if you've been stabbed, especially where Soap was stabbed, you wouldn't really focus on how you spin the blade. You would more likely flip it with just enough strength, then use the majority of your strength to throw it. Cool animation, but originally pointless. Do I still love to see it? Yes! Am I mad they changed it for a more realistic feel? No. The blow torch vs. jumper cables, well being shocked it probably extremely painful, but I feel that feeling the flesh being burned slowly at the whim of another in control, is probably worse, but that is just me.

Dammit I’m sad now, I really wanted a Mosin nagant and sks and a PPsh

Don't worry, we have battlefield 1 :) and wr have a whole ton of Russia in battlefield 3, and 4. don't hang your head yet gamer, your headset is gonna fall. 😤

Ulfyn might do in 10+ years (if dice survives)

@@ArenaFreakout but but, Stalingrad and Kursk 😢 And Soviet era gear

LMAO

ghost face reveal at 1 subscriber

That's what I was about to say. This change is not pointless, I think the devs just realized how implausible using rifle rounds in that situation was when you have ready access to a 40mm.

Exactly, even if you were to hit the correct spot right where the rotors are connected it wouldn’t do much

Same with the knife twirl and them diving instead of staying in the boat. It's all more realistic instead of just being like an over the top action movie.

The third shot is a Grenade in the Original too but they use the intervention sound as filler alot for some reason like they did with the 44. That killed Ghost

@@A_Stranger2256 In the original the flames come from the main rotor shaft. Around there the most you'd get is some white/grey smoke. Fuel tanks for that machine are way below that section.

A bit of realism

If he has the coordination to throw the knife pinpoint into his eye at an awkward angle, he has the coordination to spin it. I don't mind the change either personally, but there ain't no realism about it.

@@devindalton4688 Well throwing needs just power but doing sick tricks with a knife is another thing and I think in that it was in that moment just luck that Soap doesn't miss

Devin Dalton I mean there is realism to it? You just dropped out of a boating flying down a waterfall. Then being stabbed in the chest, why would you even want to spin a knife while your captain is getting the shit beat out of him.

I think they should have kept the original knife spin. The entire COD MW2 campaign is pretty over the top and defies logic itself many times (like Russia declaring war on the US without looking into the background of the other 4 or 5 men also involved in the airport massacre) so keeping it would have fit the overall Badass Unstoppable Marine vibe the game kinda goes for at times. As much as I love the knife spin (I was spinning pencils like Soap back in high school because of this game back in ‘09) it is ultimately a dumb thing to do in a near death situation like that. No sane person, no matter how bad ass, would think.... “I’m dying and my captain is dying. Let me save my captain but before I do that, let me spin this knife around in a really cool way. Hopefully it doesn’t slip out my hand as I spin it injuring myself further.

Jumper cables are remarkably ineffective when it comes to torture and interrogation, as they are coated with rubber to stop electrocution, and even if you were to take the rubber off, it still wouldn't be much harm at all, so the blowtorch makes much more sense.

@@russian_knight plus, fire is more painful compared to the cables

Man runs akimbo

Gotta be prepared when you lose 30,000 men in the blink of an eye...

Don’t forget that Ghost actually noticed Shepard pulling out the gun

What can I say, the man's got a revolver addiction. Even casually stands in the open reloading his revolver in the 2nd mission. Like, why would you use a revolver to shoot at those guys 50m out across the river?!

Revolver Shepard is cancelled

Gamers Home dude shut the fuck up, I love to play call of duty and other games like Battlefield , Far Cry, and more but, these so-called “pointless” changes are not at all, like it wouldn’t make sense how Yuri wouldn’t be there.

Zend Rive you shut up

@@jerestan8064 lmao nice no u

Honestly though. These are actual good improvements

Hoe Chan to add to your point why would a guy who’s barely conscious think “I’m gonna do a cool knife twirl”

i know it makes no sense, but i prefer the twirl, it makes the scene more badass. I was honestly a bit dissapointed, by that logic he wont be able to stab him in the eye but whatever.

Yes because that’s the line....everything else was suuuuper realistic up until that point.

To quote the act man: “Uuuuggghhhh... I gotta f*cking show off here dude! Uuuggghhh!”

Adrenaline is a hell of a thing

kinfe and jumper cable changes were pointless

Just an easy way to make ad revenue these changes were good and of course there will be some minor tweaks like wtf

CosmicX - Exactly. It’s an remastered! What do you expect, a remake with the exact graphics and same exact thing from the original? 🤨

The first change was stupid tho

[BL4DE Task Force] Official Channel yea

So he’s basically saying ay yo price I’m totally not almost dead check this sick flip

@@ghostalsosimonriley5169 preety much

Doubt it, there isn’t much at all I can see being improved

Jakob Aylesbury he’s talking about in like 5 years

Not a lot that could be remastered and it's a reboot of a game that's all ready been remastered and made sooo no it's not gonna be remasteres Edit:maybe in 30 years but the game will be forgotten

@@rybug what does cod4 remastered have to do with cod mw 2019

We need mw3 first

Engineer Force wait where is it

@Engineer Force yes im glad they changed that because it wouldn't make sense for the guy to shoot 20 rounds instead of 8 rounds

@@pp-ee3ui Its used by the assistant in the beginning of the mission when he shoots into your car.

Riiiiight. Because a fully automatic Deagle totally exists.

Engineer Force damn, didn't notice that, good catch!

That's cool to know!

Thomas yeah but there aren’t any Brazilians in task force 141 so why does it matter

@@goldenfiberwheat238 to blend in

​@@goldenfiberwheat238 it's just a game

Aeeeee pô bom ver outro BR aqui

That was definitely a highlight, alongside with Contingency in my opinion.

They did it with Cod 4 remastered too and theres no way to make it louder

All you have to do is lower the audio on everything else and leave the music where it is

John O'Reilly You can’t. It’s only Master Volume

IKR! I was so hyped for burning heliride again only to realise the sound was messed up.. such a shame

Proactivealex yes officer, this comment right here

Anyone who says that the jumper cables were scarier and more impactful has never had someone put a blowtorch near them

@@grannysh1fter612 Right. A lil electric shock cant compare to getting scorched and burned.

@@grannysh1fter612 exactly this.

Depends where they’re...placed...

^This

You mean 2011?

Lava cod4 came out in 2007

@@Murge0403 The story takes place in 2011

Lava I know but I think they meant when the game was released not when it takes place

It's a matter of timing. Hummer sued the so they had to make an alternative model. By the time the ruling came back in favor of the devs it was too late to change.

They look like Chinese knockoffs of Humvees instead which is really sad in my opinion. 😂

I notice that. In the remastered looks like a hasbro toy humvee

@@zenny1329 hummers are based off of the humvees though??

Zenny is 1337 It was AM General that sued for the Humvee usage. The Hummer is based off the Humvee but is different and is produced by General Motors

George Washington fr this dude me no like

It’s the nostalgia that makes the knife spin matter

Mr YB Executive but does it make sense a critically wounded soap to do a little knife twirl?

Mr YB Executive Yes, because it makes a lot of sense for Soap to do a knife trick while his only remaining partner is being beaten to death and he just pulled the said knife from a gaping wound just below his chest

The Watchman To be fair the original knife spin was a quicker method of getting it the right way up.

I'm fine with this realism dont care if its a game *O let me spin a trick while my buddy price is getting beat up*

@Gregory Walter price was being beat the fuck up

Ikr imagine if he dropped in when doing a cool twist lol

He hits it with a grenade in the remaster, I would know since I've beaten it 4 times already.

AuburnHuntress that’s what he said

CoLD He said in the original not remaster

@@nova260q7 "Not just the remastered" implying it's the same in both, which it is

You can see it in normal speed, but this guy should just quit Yt😂.

Well listen Vito, the MP5 never had a grip in the third person models

Aussie Man not my fault it didn’t have that lmao

Aussie Man Well listen australian boy, there was a grip in the OG MW2

@@KZR92i Vito, you drive like my fckn grandmother, you know that?

Atesz222 yeah i know but give some time man don’t be rude

Well in the original universe ghosts dead but the new one he’s alive

The new one is a prequel to MW2 sooo no shit he’s still alive

Right

It is more fun to see in the original tho

@@folbykleetwood7462 I think in the original the knife twirl is better

Because Soap can handle a freaking knife twirl you twit.

But imagine this guys. You just got pierced by Shepard's knife and you just took it out. You try to show off your knife skills when you are in pain and there is a lijely possibility that knife will pierce back into Soap's wound. Do you guys know how sharp and painful it is when you are stabbed? Too much Hollywood cocane and Clìche in that scene and thats disgusting to me.

Different timeline, different Ghost.

Modern warfare 2019 happens before mw 2

@@nickve777 please explain how a game set in 2019 takes place before a game set in 2016. It doesn't.

Steven Bobby Bills idk i thought i heard it somewhere

@@nickve777 people like to make wild theories up instead of thinking, the people saying MW2019 takes place before the original trilogy are the same people that thought Alex and Ghost were the same person pre-season 2 for no reason.

Using a blowtorch to cauterize a wound would be like using a jackhammer to kill an ant

@@spethmanjones2997 lmfao somehow, some way, I'll be using this comparison someday. Thank you lol

@@ouroboros5793 Haha no problem man, cheers!

Actually, a blowtorch hurts much worse than being electrocuted - I know, cuz I've been burned a few times, as well as shocked - the blowtorch is more terrifying than jumper-cables

They don't even need to roast him... All you need is a blowtorch, a steak and an ice lolly.

XTruzin how can you assume someone’s new to the game just because one sentence .

@XTruzin no i am not i have been playing since world at war

Gammy Leddack true but it’s a “remastered” why change the sound an the way it looks if it’s a “remastered” just pisses me off ! There’s a lot of types of the acr idk why they just didn’t stick with the original

no. there is only one ACR

@@topshelfsoles ...what? The entire point of a Remaster is to, well, *remaster* it so it lools better (maybe add some stuff in as well). The ACR in the OG is no an ACR, do not act like you know guns.

ObiWAANKenobi 44 you sound stupid ash 1 if u gonna respond to me atleast say things correctly when u type an 2 I know wayyyy more about guns than u ever would I don’t mind changes for the graphics but not the gun audio sounds of u actually played mw2 the original u would understand obviously we all know u didn’t it’s ok tho

b i g b o y 🤦‍♂️yes there is look it up

@tek O yeah. I don't like the new revolver reload. If you do that to a real six shooter it eventually breaks the gun

The campaign has always been like that in the multiplayer you have perks that make it feel better

I’m A Watermelon the way he spins it in the remaster makes more sense because it doesn’t look like he uses much energy to do it, he lets the blade fall a tiny bit and flips it upward and throws it

Alec Fisher I know I was being sarcastic, I know that the way he does it in the Remaster is more realistic, is just an trying to figure out why he considers it a pointless change...

Yeah and it also isn’t realistic that someone could pull a knife out of their own gut and throw it into someone’s eye. Soap is a professional solider who is most likely more pain tolerant than most humans, which is why he had the strength to pull it out of his own body, if he could do that, he could’ve spun the knife. Also keep in mind the way soap spun the knife in the original was much quicker and more efficient.

@@ethanx2596 are we going to argue about how he spun the knife this way or that way? it's a fucking game don't take it seriously.

e t h a n X do you got links to back it up you don’t know his backstory lol

Yes those were great

also cliffhanger two executions one with two soldiers using a pickaxe and one with a guy sitting on chair when attacking from behind with a knife

Yeah I always felt bad for them

Forest Walker I don’t. They work for bitch ass Shepherd. They deserve it

And on the only easy day as the first guy on the balcony and the heli crash victims at the end

Anakin Skywalker Dude I saw your comment, and I thought it was from me, and I was extremely confused. Haha this just gets better. Soon enough just watch, there will probably be like 18 Anakin Skywalker’s in the comment section.

LMAO

I'm that kind of guy, actually. XP

brandon marshall in all honesty I loved the remaster I played and have beat the original mw2 in 2009 and so on in the years following and beat mw2r and love all the little details and eater eggs especially the 50 caliber bmg Barrett and the clowns on the intro mission Yuri in no Russian and the golden Deagle in “of there own accord”

But I'm mw2 no bubbles come from the sub which they should

the grenade launcher one got me fuming like bro makes sense man shoots down a heli with a m4 shot hell nah

the knife spin removal was really pointless.

@@nicplaybr1243 Well if you were half-dead I don’t think you would be worried about spinning your knife in a cool way.

@@Big_RandyTM true that, but a wise man once said "there's no better victory in the battlefield than styling over your opponent". He's dead now. you can conect the dots

Nah, but they did put a lot of the voice lines that didnt make it to use, specifically the ones where they're being overrun and have to call an airstrike on themselves. Listen for "broken arrow" in all of the US missions

wtf

DaniMacYo lol

Fucking Canadians

Idk if they meant Sydney but Sidney is a place in BC, Canada.

It looks like its still transitioning letters

I agree. It’s annoying. They kinda fucked up the immersion.

I was also hoping theyd change over to OCPs instead of the UCPs, and the rangers wouldve worn plate carriers instead as well

The old Rangers are not wearing and IOTV. The closest thing is resembles is an RBAV with extra additions like the UCP collar. The remastered Rangers are using an OTV with an omega interceptor molle vest on top.

I dont know anything about military vests but could the reason for that change be because MW2 is based in 2015?

@@GooninRaccoonin why, the Rangers look awsome in UCP.

@XTruzin [Insert sad roach noises]

Ya thats something people noticed

@XTruzin It was like a “how could you” and shepherd pulls his arm away.

Exactly, although you could get it to work if you wired a taser to the battery to up the voltage and then ran the cables off the taser, but tbh that's more work than it's worth for a jury rigged torture station

Imagine these 12 volts clamps on your balls, now THAT'S intimidating XD

LMFAO

I hate theses comments

Gamers Home to tell people like me not continue the video I thought this dude was for real

Gamers Home yeah... but I thought of real pointless features not hating the little things

Gamers Home ok pal whatever float you’re boat

It doesn't change canon or anything, it's not terribly impactful, but it is cool.

The bubbles one was definitely pointless but except that I agree

You right, brotger

its a video game the knife flip was cool

Increased waterpressure lower boilingpoint? 🙃

Vikingman5 no one in that situation would think about making a knife twirl look cool while on the verge of bleeding out

But it’s cool, I don’t play mw2 for realism
