Is Modern Warfare 2019 Still Good in 2023? 

This is my favorite CoD too

best events ever made, all warzone verdansk hype, zombies, halloween, christmas, easter events, story they put behind it and everything... just perfect, and i miss the days where devs focused on the game... now it feels like they put so many bugs in the game just to make people transfer to mw2. sad...

Ssme dude

I agree

Same Here My favorite cod out of all cods

Debatable

@@sagepuppet definitely, still had many details from og mw2 and mw3

​@@xxmajor tf you on bro you clearly never played the og cods you probably 8 years old

People like u are the problem🤣bro This game is a SBMM sweat fest like the newer garbage cods, straight GARBAGE

​@@xxmajor For me its cold war . It got destroyed by Realism loving mw19 fanboys . Best campaign , better multiplayer than mw19 and zombies is better than spec ops . Also content cold war at end of life got more maps .

Apex is literally the same...

I like how many people call it bad, yet fail to point out constructively what was bad.

The game was trash and people always look back at past CODs for being good despite trashing it at the time. MW19 is top 5 worst CODs, cope.

@@latinaparfait nice arguments definitely made me understand it

@@xxmajor cope

No, it's still bad. Just because bad games also released after it doesn't mean its good

​@@dragondrakage2402 true, it wasn't underrated its just that everyone knew how bad it was but some knew how enjoyable it could be

@@vandoz enjoyable being u get that 1 match in 10 that skbmm doesn't fuck u over and ur not dealing with stuns and flash grenades every corner, sure

@@dragondrakage2402 the base game was good, the big problem was the maps .. they were unplayable for me, only 3-4 maps for me, sbmm and it lacks weapon balance but tbh it wasnt that bad experience i still prefer mw19 over mw2 if it was alive

@Deiv69 the base game was shit, overkill and high alert were too good(didn't care about overkill but back when the game released u heard more than 1 person complain about it), the amiuntnof cheese and op stuns and flashes r still is ridiculous. Naturally footsteps r too loud

Yeah it’s weird, any way around it ? Every time I try to re-download it gets half way and then just cancels itself

True

Exactly. Its never been a good game. It completely started the hellacious downfall of the series with unfinished content, bugs and SBMM garbage.

@@BradyDoesntMiss No

​@@BradyDoesntMisswhy is sbmm bad

​@@MusicGuy-u8rthink of just grinding your camos but each match you will get harder enemies cause you just happen to win the last game and your teammates will be much worse and this continues till you get fatigued of playing

Exactly!

example?

@@n0cturnalSFX everything you can see lol, movement, sfx, models...

@@PieroMinayaRojas right... okay buddy what ever you say

@@n0cturnalSFXyou mad? mw2 is butt

Agreed. I just wish it had an fov slider :/

Exactly, with a FOV slider this would have been the perfect game. Part of me still believes that they only made warzone 2 for the fov slider on console.

@@wtfman5795 Meanwhile, there’s an FOV slider on PC.

Noticed the graphical fidelity being better on MW2019 too. Can’t seem to get the right settings on MW2, everything is grainy and so much AA smudging. MW2019 is just more optimised for performance and fidelity. My PC runs +200fps on 2019 vs low 100s on MW2022 on the same settings.

@@ralphpanganiban5577 Same. I get 170-180 on non-Ground War modes in 2019. I barely get 130 FPS in MW2. Though that may be because 2019 was the last COD game developed exclusively for the PS4/1070 era.

What skill gap?

@@Spacewizard54321 Mainly movement, the new cod limits players by forcing all of the gunfights to be whoever hits the first shot wins, which in turn leads to people camping and preaiming everything. ADS times are also ridiculously slow and the movement penalties are so large because the majority of cods fanbase (casual players) hated how “sweaty” some people were. As another commenter mentioned good aim was also rewarded. I am a top 0.1% player on aimlabs, and combined with playing the game a lot to get good movement and game sense I was accused of hacking almost every game I was in. This is not the case with the new cod. I think most players who came from grinding mw2019 would agree with me in saying it’s annoying to have spent an enormous amount of time getting really good at a game only to be limited by the developers to make the game more fun for people who don’t wanna grind. Imo I shouldn’t ever be dying to some dad holding an angle, in the old cod this never happened because of movement. A linear target is far easier to hit than one which is constantly changing directions and moving xy as opposed to just x. This game (mw2) was built with slower gameplay in mind. I played every cod since the og mw (most on console) and while I may be biased because this cod was the first I played on pc on kbm, to me (and many others) it was still the best. The game definitely had some problems (mainly cheaters) but overall it was really fun. On mw2019 I had beat cheaters a number of times, where on this new one I don’t think it’s possible. To clarify what I mean by movement is the small techs like b-hopping and slide canceling. The reason these features and the movement based play style became so popular was because fast ads times and no movement penalties allowed for it. I don’t think the game was ever meant to be what it became, but it did and it turned out to be a really fun game. Edit: Grammar

@@remedy3507 not a skill gap if anyone can slide cancel

@@Jason-ip6wq I’m assuming you’re not experienced with fps if this is your thought process. In Fortnite anyone can build, yet the skill ceiling is enormous. In rocket league everyone can aerial but the skill ceiling is also enormous. I clarified that it wasn’t just slide canceling. Bhopping was also very important in mw2019 and not just anyone could do that correctly mid fight whilst maintaining momentum. The new cod has an angle holding meta. In mw2019 the combination of good aim and movement is what created the skill gap. You are right in saying that it wasn’t slide canceling, but that was a part of it. It was everything combined. This new game would us great without slide canceling, to be completely honest with you I thought it was dumb anyways. However, that is not the point. I think that if the new cod had bhoppinng and less ads penalties for run and gunning it would be equally as good. There is definitely and element of nostalgia for many people as it is the game they grinder during Covid, so I doubt they would agree that it would be equally as good. There are also some glaring issues like the devs clearly putting more time and effort into cosmetics than making a fun game. This is no fault of theirs rather the higher ups at activision, but that’s besides the fact that this game really could have been a good sequel. Imo, they should bring back bhopping and not punish you for adsing while jumping. It’s nearly impossible to rush on this cod, especially in the same way you could in mw2019. Mw2019 catered to all play styles; you wanna snipe? Fast quick scope times. You wanna rush? Good movement and maps that rewarded rushing as well as fast ads times on guns like smgs and ar’s when setup properly. You wanna camp? Hell, that’s all people complained about when the game first came out, how campy it was, lots of long angles and spots less skilled players could post up on. Mw2019 rewarded a lot of different play styles, where Mw2022 rewards one. You can’t consistently rush on mw2022 because of the fact that whoever lands the first shot wins the fight the majority of the time. This results in people having to clear angles, more like siege, cs, or valorant instead of fast paced gameplay like in mw2019. Cod is currently a game for casuals. I would agree with the point you will presumably make being that cod has never been taken as seriously by the community as a whole when compared to games like cs. However the complaints of mw2019 as a whole being that it got “too sweaty” should be enough for you to realize that there is a skill gap. Games without a skill gap don’t get “too sweaty” because nothing there are no hard to master mechanics which separate good players from bad players. The only thing you could argue is aim, but really? In a game dominated by controller players with incredibly strong aim assist it definitely isn’t an aim thing. This also piggybacks what I said earlier about the 1st bullet landed wins the fight as it’s not about raw aim but who can hold the rattier angle. And it’s not just anecdotal evidence that supports this. Go into any game of search and you’ll see players who would have struggled to get a single kill top fragging. Why? Because the game is designed with them in mind. Exoghost also posted on his channel their patent which is code that will adjust damage of guns depending on how a player is doing. Also sbmm, in mw2019 you could get absolutely wrecked, it rarely happens in the new game. This was because there were better lobbies for better players who were better at the game. When a player who was not as good got put in one of these lobbies they’d get cooked. Logically it makes sense why they did it, think about the majority of the people who play cod. Most young people who are serious about fps are playing valorant, cs, overwatch, etc. These games reward your hundreds of hours of mastery, mw2019 was similar to these games in the sense that grinding it a lot and learning the hard to learn mechanics would make you significantly better than the average player. I’ve played like 5 ranked games on the new cod, I was matched with plats, despite playing my first few games, guess what, I didn’t lose one. If you compare this to overwatch or rocket league, plats in their respective games completely obliterate bronzes. Now you might be asking, if there is no skill gap, why were you able to beat people who are plat, and that is a two sided question, firstly why weren’t they able to beat me? And secondly, I have years and years of experience on cod, so it would make sense that I have a better understanding of how to take fights, basically gamesense. Back to my point about the general audience, its all dads playing on console after work, they don’t have the time to grind the game, so obviously on a game like mw2019 where people who do have the time can grind the game and it rewards grinding, it makes sense they’d be “sweaty.” Cods only solution in their eyes to retain their main audience, is to nerf the good players. Not change the matchmaking so bad players don’t have to play good players, rather nerf the good players to a point where the bad players can somewhat compete. I’d imagine another reason for this is that they know the teenagers who were grinding the game weren’t the ones with disposable income to waste hundreds on their shitty item shop. It was a business move, logically it makes sense what they did. But from the stand point of someone who poured hundreds of hours into mw2019, it was stupid. There will always be more casual players than “sweats” so they cater to the masses. That being said, there is a way to do both, it’s just not as easy as nerfing the good players. In conclusion, mw2019 definitely had a large skill gap, and people who think otherwise probably didn’t play the game, or are just being foolish.

@@remedy3507 bro its not that deep u nerd

Xdefiant it's the right one

@@josuerestrepo1476 not really, x defiant captures the feeling of older cods like old modern warfare and black ops. I want something that captures Mw2019s movement with slide canceling and smooth movement.

@@alejandrocarralero2826 that would probably be combat master, though it's a bit raw and lacking content

A COD zombies free to play game is in development by Sledgehammer, let's hope it's good.

Is mw2 a dumpster because you can’t slide cancel?

​@@sagepuppet honestly MW2s art style is really dull and uninspiring, the operator skins look like garbage, the battle pass blueprints all look like they were designed by chatGPT.

@@SovietBear4 I always hated the idea of operators and blueprints it just ruins the game for me I’d rather put my own attachment to a gun rather than spend 5 dollars for a blue print

@@SovietBear4 I don’t really like any of the newer games. IMO Cold War had a sort of good campaign but that’s debatable

Operators are a bit cringe though I’d rather have it like the older cods where you play as a normal marine

@@sagepuppet Yeah but atleast MW2019 had a little bit of that with the mostly Russian vs Western forces

@@pasindupereraSL well some of them looked like soldiers like bale but the rest look ugly

@@sagepuppet Definitely. I don't think call of duty will go back to having MilSim and cool factions again. At least with Battlefield, the community is more vocal about that stuff. Like BF2042, game still needs improvement, doesn't have too much ridiculous skins. The ridiculous skins it does have, still has a military theme to it.

Fr bro this game is still going on strong

Inconsistent recoil and it's so slow to aim in mw2 🤢
