The original MW3 ending went so hard. Storming a high rise in juggernaut gear as Price and then fucking hanging Makarov from the roof before you sit down and smoke a cigarette while watching his corpse swinging from the ceiling. This is embarrassing in comparison.
There's going to be aa mw4, that's why this game's ending feels incomplete. But MW2 (2009) has an amazing ending even with a guaranteed sequel so MW3 (2023) has no excuse being this bad Edit : Guys I'm not saying the MWII (2022) ending was good, I was saying the MW2 (2009) ending was good
And OG Shepherd's death too in MW2. You chase him down a river, get stabbed in the chest, pull the knife out and chuck it at his head before he can kill Price. Here, just shoot him while he's unarmed behind a desk in a cutscene. So lame.
The contrast between old and new cpt Price in this game is insane. Old Price would've blown Makarov's brains out the moment he had the chance. The whole point of MW2 and MW3 is that Makarov was straight out impossible to find. The 2 times they had the slightest clue of his whereabouts they inmediately planned an assassination mission.
I guess they're trying to make Price more "marketable" as a hero, but it still makes no sense since he's always justified to kill Makarov. He just, doesn't. Price makes the hard decisions nobody else can, they threw us a bone with the assassination at the end but even that felt cheap.
Makarov in this game is almost like "omg he's so bad and so good at being bad" or some shit like that. It's a really embarrassing story and the characters arent shit without their prior continuity
That's a general issue with the whole remake series tbh, It feels like it's trying to present itself as edgy af with everything covered in pitch black and all the characters speak like they have a bad throat but it comes off cleaner than ever for the sake of making the game more marketable. Like what was the last game where you could blow a guy's arm off with explosive weapons? It's like they now know their major audience is composed of teenagers who are not old enough to play it. Remember when Price tortured a guy with poison gas and then blow his brains out despite not being authorized to do so?
@@Tgungen XxL33TProSniperboixX and all his highschool buddies would have a heart attack if they were forced to play through Call of Duty World at War nowadays. As much as people cried over brutality in videogames, under the right context and through the right medium it can be very educational and instill empathetic feelings where otherwise one would take it as mere gratuitous violence. CoD grew up understanding this alongside Medal of Honor yet somewhere along the line (probably after BO2) it forgot all about that. New Price is just a parody and a lens of what Call of Duty has become. Put the old one side by side with the new Price and it's pretty obvious the latter is written to be some edgy action figure bloke to put on the forefront of covers, not the wisdom speweing and grounded yet harsh fatherly figure he once was. Still, at least he was vaguelly bearable in the last two entries. Seems like he's gone full derp in this one.
Even MW 2019 Price: You wanted the gloves off? Theyre off!! MW 2023 Price: Dont kill him soap, put your gloves back on and hand this terrorist who blew up a stadium and an airport to a non US/UK country where theyre sure to keep him locked up for life
What's really funny to me is that in the original MW series, when Soap dies, Price is fucking devastated, he just lost his best friend and dumps all his anger on Yuri immediately after. Here he just fucking looks at the corpse and does nothing, as if he already knew that Soap had to die just because it happened in the original series.
no fr this !! like mans was broken after his death in the original, the only one who showed any emotion in his death in this campaign was ghost which is ironic since ghost is portrayed as this character with no emotions and dark soul or whatever. this was extremely upsetting. like I showed more devastation than all three of them combined- I have been crying for over an hour and still am like what 💀💀
To be somewhat fair he had to disarm the bomb and he has to put his feelings aside to finish the mission. In original mw3 the mission was compromised and the only thing was to get out alive at that moment in time. So we either hesitate and mourn soap and we all get blown up by the bomb or we focus stick to our mission and mourn later. That being said it’s a video game with characters from the original and while the situation price was put into is realistic for a special operator we are playing a game and we want to have the feeling of immersion while also playing a game and from a “civilian” mindset we think we lost our best friend nothing else matters. I’m not excusing how they did the game but I am somewhat excusing the why price acted the way he did in that scenario
It’s genuinely impressive how a massive gaming corporation, with billions of dollars to their name, can somehow create games that are much worse than indie games with less than 1% of the resources
Mw3 wasn't supposed to release until a few years, following the usual release cycle. But activision got greedy and wanted this one right away. I was so excited for the conclusion, but now, it's just not worth it
They've become Apple in terms of development. They know people will just buy cod titles just for the sake of it. And will make barely enough effort now. People are just stupid for continuing to support triple A gaming companies like this.
Makarov just seems like that secondary bad guy that doesn't talk at all but gets killed at the 2nd act of the game. He's the equivalent to De'falco and Krevchenco.
He also sounds much less menacing here. No offense to the reboot Makarov’s VA, but Roman Varshavsky’s performance as OG Makarov blows him out of the water.
I like how the final mission has ZERO reason to take place. Why is Makarov bombing the Channel Tunnel? Why does he show up in person? Why does he try to stop them from disarming the bomb just to give up and run away? Not to mention he literally just TELEPORTS AWAY, like he doesn’t disappear past the train, he’s literally standing in front of it and blinks out of the way. And then he just shoots Soap after overpowering him and Price effortlessly because reasons.
He already said it him self. They literally had no ending. The game (assuming it had even any sort of tiny amount of story boarding) was clearly only half way finished at best. After the boneyard mission there should have been another 5 missions at least. Eh who am I kidding when you remove the warzone "missions" from this campaign it has about 45 minutes of actual campaign play time. Get ready for mw4 the game that no one asked for. It's just gonna be them putting the guys in a warzone map and saying look around to find makarov and kill him game over.
Okay I will say there was a yellow door behind the train that makarov runs through at the end. No, I am not commenting on the rest of the campaign so don't start grillin me thinking I'm defending it. Just saying he doesn't teleport.
Nothing in the whole campaign made sense. After Makarov broke out of prison and rallied his troops to invade Urkzikstan nothing made sense. Why is he launching red flag attacks if his nation is already engaged in a war and clearly already anti western. If anything he needs the west to stop using proxies and start using their own military so he should have attacked them. The flash back made no sense either as to how Makarov ended up in a gulag. It’s never explained how Shepherd spontaneously knew what Makarov was doing next. And then his final play as explained made no sense. The story grew more and more incoherent the longer it went on. And just chalked together a bunch of action movie cliches in hopes it would make sense. All because Sledgehammer pulled out early and they couldn’t bare the thought of going one whole year with out a release so they rush production on a game that should take three years to develop into a few months. Truly the most disappointing COD ever.
I love how they have been so afraid to kill anyone that even Gaz is alive in the third game and then they just unceremoniously shoot soap in the head and just move on 😂
Why? This wouldn't even be a dent in their wallet with how much they'll make. It's not like they're a small time streamer living in a one bedroom apartment and they barely have money.
The fact that the campaign ends with Ghost and Gaz apparently just watching Soap get fuckin executed right in front of them with no intervention is probably the most idiotic plot move ever 💀
@@peruvianpuffpepper904 I mean that's better, but still 😂 the way it comes out after the cutscene makes it look like they just watched while one man was almost executed and the one was quite literally executed
It's kind of funny how the remake series presented itself as the darker and edgier version of the original yet it comes off as more clean and ready for the marketing
That’s honestly one of my biggest complaints with this reboot trilogy. The writers take themselves waaaayy too seriously with their stories., thinking theyre edgy cool and smart just because they wrote some half arsed attempt at political commentary while at the same time committing historical revisionism with their highway of death mission. Call of duty is at its best when it doesn’t take itself too seriously and has fun with ridiculous set pieces and events while also keeping a somewhat realistic footing. Russia v USA. Ridiculous, but they did it because it was entertaining and was a really great spectacle to go through, also a natural escalation of already established tensions set from the events in the first game. The Washington DC invasion arc in the original is one of the most atmospheric and memorable missions in my opinion. Killing shepherd with a knife pulled from your chest. Over the top , yes. But was it totally badass … fuck yes.
The 3D modelling of real live actors also looks completely ugly. Somehow i find the original MW3's character not nearly as stiff and creepy as i find the 'real' faces.
@@miZuZYN Thats it. Its in that weird limbo where the faces mostly look realistic, but their facial movement and eyes just look very uncanny and robotic. I take classic 3D models all day over this weird hyper realistic modelling from real actors.
@@Naz-xk6hq its almost like they arent focusing as much on telling a story as they are trying to sell their "dark and gritty" world. Some of the best cod campaigns (the black ops ones, including cold war imo, the original modern warfare, even infinite warfare) all focused more on telling a story than being some realistic gritty shooter.
@@avay8726 a campaign that is short because a triple a dev team was lazy, this is a game that costs millions to make and everything was recycled with a new coat of paint even the zombies is the same, only thing that looks promising is the multiplayer, you have to also think about the fact there is multiple of the biggest companies working on this game and it’s in this state yk
The fact they killed off Soap when you have Gaz literally right fucking there is mind blowing. They definitely only killed him off for “shock” factor and nostalgia. Gaz’s story is wrapped up. Soap had potential to have a really good story this game or the next and they completely fuck it. The last game deadass sets that up when he was with Ghost.
It would have given the story an actual direction to go if they killed Gaz too, getting rid of the guy who's pretty much been the moral compass of the group for the last three games would lead well into 141 going off the rails.
Gaz’s story is wrapped up but you can’t kill the only Black kid. Not that anyone had to die, because this last mission was totally random. We’re bombing the Chunnel now? For…?
Why do people follow this guy's RU-vid account? Serious question? He keeps popping up on my feed yet he is the most unfunny uncharismatic person I've ever watched
Soap's death was arguably the worst part. An amazingly written and loved character killed in the most disrespectful ways just to fill in the status quo of needing a main character to die.
In original. In reboot no one cares about soap, I have no feelings for him, only his gay relationship with ghost. I actually don't about anyone here, that so bland and cliche, they have no personality, just again, cliche characters from old movies, one grumpy, other angry, third mysterious, meh. Hope the call of duty die with battlefield, tired of this clownship
@@0DanteMayCry0 first of all, that seems like a you problem so don't speak for everyone. Second of all, what at all could have made you think Soap and Ghost were gay?
@@justaserbiandoomer497 In this day and age, people make assumptions and head canons just for the sake of complaining. "Two guys are good friends? Must be gay and this is woke bullshit" - That guy probably.
@@justaserbiandoomer497 the gay thing is a bit just look at how they banter to each other in mw2 but also theyre not the only one, i enjoy soap but their death was so last second and tasteless. not to mention no real build up or tenson, they just wanted soap to die in this because he did in the og mw3. at least in that one soap wasnt going out so easily, they we fighting to keep him around but just couldnt so a character with so much fight ended up burning out while in this it just seems like baby face wanted to kill somebody on the main list so he took soap cuz he actually hurt him instead of shooting price. sry for the rant there but this campaign compared to the og mw3 is just pathetic in SO many fuckin ways, it's just wildly disappointing that this costed 70$ for a 30$ (or even 20$) campaign.
Shepherd's death is so rushed in this campaign. Like the writers are almost done with the story but they forgot to kill Shepherd so they pushed this little cutscene of him getting shot in his office. At least in the old games, there's a wild chasing mission and you get to have an awesome fight with him.
Yeah, at least give us playable mission like in COD4 where you play another mission after the credits. Oh actually, the idea of infiltrating Langley would be fun and a tribute to mission where we'd infiltrate KGB HQ in the BO:CW
They really should have deal with the whole Shepherd thing in the second game. The tension with him was more intense bc the betrayal was recently done, and overall just get him out of the sight for a new villan to come and take the place. But man, they made this whole story so bad that it would feel rushed either way lol
That campaign was so disrespectful. Soaps death felt terrible. That is fucking embarrassing, especially when you see how he died in the OG MW3. After playing through 2 1/2 games as Soap or working with him, you are at one of the most important moments in the campaigns story. During a failed assassination attempt on Makarov, Soap gets critically wounded during an explosion. You proceed to carry his dying body though a hellish warzone, packed with action and emotional music. After finding a safehouse, Soap dies whilst receiving medical attention in which he drops a massive bombshell on Price with his final words. Price proceeds to give one of the most emotional performances I have ever seen, in all forms of media, crying over the death of his best friend and closest ally. Afterwards, he proceeds to beat Yuri's ass down a flight of stairs and delivered one of the most hardcore and memorable lines in Call of Duty history. In this new game its just, Makarov shoots Soap in the head. Then the team mourns the death of Soap 1 cutscene later. Very little emotion. No theatrics. nothing. That is insulting to Soap as a character. Imagine if they killed Mason or Woods like that in Black Ops, just a big, disrespectful FU to the fans. Fuck this game.
"There's a clocktower in Hereford where the names of the dead are inscribed. We try to honor their deeds even as their faces fade from our memory. Those memories are all that's left, when the bastards have taken everything else." This campaign is a genuine disgrace to the MW3 name
For some reason, the actor who plays Soap unfollowed Activision and all the other actors on social media. He barely promoted MW3 and deleted his Soap promos from the previous game. So my theory is that he saw the bullshit Activision is spewing and decided not to participate anymore. Don't know if that's the reason Soap's death is so sloppy but it still doesn't justify it.
i love paying 100 dollars for a boring story, no personalities to the characters anymore, and a random death of a beloved character that was completely unneeded in the story
Fun Fact: When you try and reinstall MW2, the MW3 campaign is actually listed in the game as an add on. They aren't even trying to hide that this was originally supposed to be a DLC.
The fact that they did Makarov's fake out death the EXACT SAME WAY as Graves' fake out death in MW2 is fucking abysmal, like they really thought they can pull the same trick on us twice
They even use ChatGPT to write the letter for David Vonderhaar’s departure from Treyarch and someone used a software to detect the AI writings which it confirms 80% AI content.
That's how they kill soap?? That was just plain awful, his death in mw3(2011) was more impactful, literally had you fight an army while carrying soap to a safe location just for all your effort to go to waste as he bleeds out on the table. I can't believe they would take him out in such a mundane way, literally spat on the fans.
Especially the Actor that played Soap. He was a great choice for the Remake Series yet they kill him in this and in such a Cringe and Pathetic way. All the Actors did a bang up job but jesus this was bad. Hope they all got paid good.
If Activision kept their word on no annual releases, this campaign would probably have been a lot better. Shame Activision is one of the most greediest companies out there
Honestly anything Sledgehammer Games touches is shit even if they had 5 years they'd fuck it up I genuinely have no actual hope for Multiplayer because they're doing it.
Honestly. It's also the people's fault. They just keep buying games from this shitty company. Ea still rakes in millions of dollars each year just like cod does.
As someone who was led on to believe and almost promised that MW2 would last more than one year and don’t plan on playing this, I see this as an absolute win
@@aircraft2 not saying it is, putting words in my mouth is a L, im saying is that why does it matter, why we shitting on this game when the Original MW3 did the same thing, if not worse, started off with a beloved character just dead for fun, no reason, no one bitched back then, cuz the reality is that back then people didnt care, now poeple give a shit a bit too much
@@xmebutt7707you’re not making a ton of sense. Objectively, this game is actually problematic in price-to-presentation. Like activation showed up at your house, asked for 70 dollars, then slapped you in the face. Soap being dead previously was a poorly executed plot device. Soap being killed is actually meaningless, a total letdown. I bet soaps voice actor saw an early cut and thought it was so bad he just peaced the fuck out. You see, they didn’t HAVE any more dialogue of soap recorded, so they just have him executed poorly. 😂
That 2011 MW3 was still way better than whatever behemoth of garbage Activision came up with this time. That game felt like an actual Call of duty with a real and enjoyable storyline. This game is literally a DLC, that too a disappointing one.
MW3 was one of the best CODs of all time - people were just picky back then. The story was brilliant, it didnt top the OG MW2 but it was great nonetheless so many iconic moments like Soap's actual death, '50,000 people used to live here, now its a ghost town', price's final scrap with makarov. Those were the days man
They did soap so dirty in this campaign. The original soap death was such an emotional scene. There was no possible way plot wise that Soap could’ve been saved, and Price’s actor did an amazing job in the scene where he dies. It felt real, seeing someone break after losing one of their closest allies, and it still makes me tear up to this very day 12 years later. Soap’s death in THIS campaign is actually insulting. It feels like they just killed him off to get a reaction out of Soap lovers again. There was no buildup to his death, no emotion, absolutely NOTHING. And it just ends right after. Bo3’s campaign was disappointing. Vanguard’s was boring. But this campaign is the first that’s actually INSULTING to fans of the series.
Preach brother! One of the stages of grief is called denial and when Soap died I could not to believe it. The original game wrote the storyline so well! After Soap died, there was a mission to avenge Soap that ended the game, not this baloney. If the CoD community ever wanted to draw the line, this game is where we need to draw it. The original campaign is leagues above the 2023 remake. yeah Im not buying this game either.
I swear his death in this game is the equivalent to gaz's death in call of duty 4 like he was just shot in the head by the main villain and nobody really cared
@@kevingarcia6746because its one of the worst campaigns in the whole series especially for a black ops game. Matter of fact it was so bad bo 4 didn't even got a campaign
Soap's death in the original trilogy actually meant something because we've seen he and Price's relationship evolve firsthand throughout the three games. In this series, Soap's seen connecting most with Ghost - so having them separated during the death scene was a huge misfire on an emotional level
Yeah, never mind the one "Jhonny" from ghost and no emotion afterwards. Maybe it's me seeing too many soap/ghost fanarts, but I expected him to atleast go slightly insane
@@selenophile5256 you're right. the fact that soap was the one who got ghost out of his shell, bantered with him over comms and showed more of his witty and sarcastic side, and got ghost to actually bump him on the shoulder was already a lot of development for a character who was first perceived as distant. also him being the only one who can call him "johnny" definitely lets you in on the emotional level of their relationship. yeah he's a distant and crumbled guy but soap definitely did something for him, if not on a romantic level at least as a friend or emotional support or something.
@@frankiemoulder3521 It was earned though in the original MW3. OG Soap was Price's catalyst to finally trust and work with Yuri. His final words send Price on that rampage that ultimately ends with Makarov's demise. New Soap was so unceremoniously just...not even killed, just removed from the game it felt that disrespectful.
It's not the same soap, one is a character who existed to make you feel something while playing a game and the other is a premium character for a multiplayer game nobody should play
Only way is to completely zone out for the whole stream then suddenly catch them shitting on the story and randomly choosing to defend it... You have to be that ignorant
The only excuse I’ve given myself for buying the newer CoD games was the campaign, thank you for giving me final justification to not buy anymore CoD games
Ikr I use to do that for Zombies but than that game mode became dogshit after B03 so now all I have is the campaign but now that it's also shit their is no point in buying COD because the Multiplayer isn't good or worth spending $60 - $70.
Game designer: "But it's not long enough for a campaign." Producer: "What you talking about? It took me 8 hours to beat it." Game Designer: "That's because you don't play games."
I think one of the worst parts of this campaign is how they handled Soap’s death. It’s emotional in 2011 because you’ve had three games fighting as and alongside Soap. We saw him as the private, saw him grow with Price, and have him tragically die with a memorial to when he saved Price in COD4. In MW19, he’s a cameo name at the end of the game and has a side role in MWII. His death comes out of nowhere, has little fanfare, and has no attachment to the character. He only dies because he did in 2011 and the MW reboot series is based on appealing to gamers’ nostalgia for the original trilogy. It’s almost like what they did with Ghost in MWII (2009), where he was a character that had no development and was killed off during the ending - however, we cared about Ghost because he had a cool design and it was tied to a genuinely surprising plot twist. We know Makarov isn’t dead and we know, since they copied everything else, that Soap was likely to die - so not only is it predictable, it’s a shameless ripoff.
@@theghost4lifei play the OG too but when they died i was like "Ah shit here goes another one lol" he was right the soldier feel so generic....the OG were good but its more of the gameplay and the story is just meh for me its a generic hollywood writing
Same, I remember sobbing over Sandman, Woods (when he jumps through the window and the grenade goes off) mason (if you kills him as the hostage) and the entire infinite warfare cast. Hell even elias I shed a tear for but damn.... This campaign (though I spoiled myself on accident) dropped the ball hard.... Especially with someone like soap...
hold on a moment, 19:36 when ghost crouches behind that blue cover thingy his weapon is still firing, you can see it eject and hit the ground next to soap it never stops firing up until like he is completely out of frame BRUH Also did soap just despawn from his initial down position and then respawns out of frame and just runs into makarov? that whole cutscene feels like thats where development ended, like thats not the end of the campaign but the actual point in time where they stopped developing the campaign
Very late reply, but also: why didn't Soap just fucking SHOOT him!? Why did he come up to him just to get shot? Also what did he even do to Makarov? It looked like he stab him in the throat but it didn't do anything to him?
Man they really did a great job with 2019 mw. They showed that giving a game time can make it great. But they fell into old habits by releasing reheated crap every year.
@@Dar1uszlmfao yeah the multilayer was absolute shit and all the pros feel the same way. As for the campaign. It was good. You’re just wrong on the point.
@@Dar1usz nah 2019 was the best one we've had in YEARS, the maps it came with were hot garbage tho, but when old maps came in and some good new ones it was actually pretty good fun, but sbmm was still shit, cold war was pretty decent but undercooked, then vanguard, mw2 and now mw3 are garbage again
The fact that the crew didn’t just shoot Makarov is so stupid. Imagine if Seal Team 6 finally found Bin Laden and then just handcuffed him and brought him on a helicopter.
Dont forget the original MW3 had the battle of new york, remember that badass scene where you force a russian sub to surface by detonating charges near it in the new york harbour, then you exfil by driving a RHIB boat into the back up the ramp of a sea knight which is like a little chinook helicopter.
Open world missions on a cod game was just about the worst decision they could ever make. I’m not surprised anymore either, literally half of the campaign was filler, and I should have known from the get go that it was going to suck. There was absolutely no story what-so-ever. Call of Duty 2019 worked and was fresh because of how all the missions felt and how they flowed together. It was a new take on an extremely popular series and it just felt good, the gun play was excellent, the visuals incredible, and the story made sense.
at least in sports and racing games u get what u expect, MORE sports and racing lmao. In blockbuster titles like CoD consumers have more expectations in the campaign side
Casuals just buy the games every year. Doesn't seem to matter. Most consumers aren't plugged in to these things. Doesn't matter if the product is objectively regarded as poor quality as long as they had their "fun". It's just the nature of the beast.
Ghost and gaz were never there with you in the final mission, they were away in their own gun fight, not standing and watching soap get killed. They only showed up in time to save price. But that's admittedly a very small detail to not notice in all the shooting
Also cod modern warfare 1 remaster was so good it looks like I was in actual war. Here you can't even destroy light with gun fire. Like super hard degredation
its so weird watching call of duty games go from focusing on their story and having the multiplayer maps be based on locations from the campaign, to, the multiplayer map is now developed first and we have a campaign based around the multiplayer map.
Well technically they did take a big unique turn with warzone in itself. I’ve been playing warzone for a long time and haven’t played any other cod in forever.
For once, i agree with IGN. Usually, idc about what people said. When i played mw3 reboot and watching the rest of vtuber gameplay, i think i understand why people dislike it
The worst part about it too is they undermined Soaps death so badly! Like a nothing burger, no dramatics or anything. I still remember Price's performance on Soap bleeding out. I can still hear Prices 'NO NO NO!'
@@goodtimesgamingtm1316”Soap trusted you. I thought I could too… SO WHY IN BLOODY HELL DOES MAKAROV KNOW YOU?!” I loved this line and it really hits different.
They are supposed to be the best of the best, they wouldn't stand there and scream his name after he dies. I feel like this is one of the only positives from that scene honestly
Man, this is despicable. I remember as a kid being excited for the games and playing through the campaigns and eventually hopping on to multilayer with my friends. MW 2019 got me excited again, then it went immediately back downhill lol. I didn't even know this game came out And they have the nerve to charge SEVENTY US DOLLARS
They charged just the same with Black Ops 4, which didn’t even have a campaign. As long as there are no-self-controlling hypocrites who impulsively buy everything related to the game as long as it has a multiplayer so they can then cry to Activision for overpriced gameplay, they’ll continue to charge £70 for their games.
I feel so bad for the people that work on these games that genuinely try to put their heart and soul into something that gets ruined by the corporations they work for
Imagine having such good campaigns in Modern warfare 1, 2 and 3. And then 10 years later making games with the same name to kinda shoo away the old ones, but making them so bad
It's because they don't take risks anymore. They lost their balls when covid hit and everyone went apeshit at "triggering" things. Back in the days we literally killed 100s of innocent people in a hanger
$70? ✅ Reused maps? ✅ Reused animations? ✅ Reused assets? ✅ Capitalizing off of your nostalgia? ✅ Millions will still buy it anyway? ✅ Yup, That's COD alright.
Well said dude I haven't played cod since the skid mark black ops 4 and I payed 100 for this because people said finally we might get another decent enough campaign and let me tell you it's not even worth the price no is really worth the name it was given at this point it's borderlands the pre sequel all over again this should have been either a dlc or called call of duty modern warfare the pre sequel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s just 70$ DLC. The Multiplayer is also probably just gonna be a Copy Paste of MW2’s. The thing that’ll probably be worth buying this game for is Zombies.
When I finished the campaign my first initial thoughts was "That's it, its over?" it felt like the biggest gut punch ever, its much worse than the previous COD
10:51 is so stupid that it's hilarious. Makarov is unarmed and tied up, yet he magically frees himself and kills you instantly with a single stomp while Price just stands there and watches, all because the devs didn't want to give their players the freedom to take even the SLIGHTEST deviation from the campaign that they made. You don't just have to follow Makarov, you also have to keep looking at him the whole entire time.
MW4 idea: 1 hour campaign but, everything happens in Nuke town trough different characters prespectives so that nothing happens and zombis appear in the final 3 minutes
I hated this campaign. It was super quick, had no sustenance to it, and they killed off Soap with no emotion and for no reason at all, and the bad guy just gets away like nothing was worth it.
Wdym no emotion? They literally have a scene about them spreading his ashes and saying their final goodbyes. And no reason? At the stadium, Makarov tells them to never Bury their enemies alive, which Soap let's him live. Makarov tells him he'll be back again. Makarov's real plan to bomb London was just a ploy to kill Soap, which is what he does and then books it rather than defending the bomb. While I agree OCMs were trash and the length was really short, the story was still pretty decent
@@SRHv2 You clearly weren't there for the original MW3 because the delivery of Soap's death in the original game made me go through denial, one of the five stages of grief. This new campaign does not compare to that level of emotion whatsoever. This game sucks and you fanboys need to grow up XD
When Makarov said: "This game is a robbery and we are charging everyone 70 bucks because this game has Call of Duty on its name" i really felt that....
I fully regret buying the vault edition the millisecond it came available😔 MW3 was my all time favorite cod so I couldn’t resist and after playing the campaign and the multiplayer it’s safe to say that 100 bucks would have been better used to wipe my ass cuz at least then I wouldn’t have a stinky butthole and crippling depression
In the first (new) MW, Captain Price holds an innocent lady and child at gunpoint and threatens to kill them to get information from a terrorist because they're his wife and son. He even has you pull the trigger on them (he doesn't tell you it's not loaded, but he still has you pull the trigger without knowing that). IT EVEN GIVES YOU THE CONTENT WARNING/OPTION TO SKIP that's how fucked up it is. It even gives you one last chance to back out (the other guy on your team in your room says "sir, I can't do this" to which Captain Price immediately cuts him off "you're excused" and the other guy leaves the room. It's like they completely forgot what they were ever writing in the first place. The first new MW was all about this like morally ambiguous gray zone, and all the borderline bad stuff the "good guys" have to do to keep the peace. This? This is just inexcusable. Indefensible. I'm a big fan of campaign especially on the Modern Warfare games, I'm truly stunned at how they managed to make something this bad.
@@iam4026That wasn’t morally Grey you expect Makarov to do that because he’s the bad guy. Morally Grey is when the good guys do bad shit in order to defeat the bad guys or when the bad guys aren’t actually 100% evil and have strong points.
Now that you mention it the fact he was willing to do that to get info out of a second in command but doesn't kill Makarov or let Soap do it doesn't make sense 😂
I like the fact price went in there with like no gloves whatsoever so any police investigator into Shepherd death can just easily swap Price's fingerprints and match him as the immediate killer lol.
Brother. He used his own *Personal HK SOCOM .45* and just straigbt up LEFT the brass. Dude might as well have just left a Buisness Card with his Current Address. You don't think the fact that he Sussed-Out Lazwell in mere *Seconds* wouldnt bode well for the MPs in the other room that just heard a Suppressed Gunshot in a FOUR STAR GENERAL'S Quarters! FOR GODS SAKE HE DIDNT EVEN HAVE A PANIC BUTTON! HE HAD A GUN! BUT HE KNEW IT WAS NO USE!! IMAGINE HE JUST PULLED THE TRIGGER AND AT LEAST ALERTED ALL HIS MEN THAT TREASON WAS AFOOT!!
I was really excited for this because I really enjoyed the 2019 and mw2 campaigns. Halfway through I actually decided I would rather get the rest of my homework done than keep playing because somehow they made a cod campaign less fun than algebra and chemistry. Thanks for helping me get my grades up cod.
The MWII campaign was barely any better narratively speaking, they just were smart enough not cobbled together several disjointed plot points all at once.
I’m in college and in the days leading up to the release I made sure that all of my homework was completed and I had everything in my room that I would need to play it for a day or two after lectures… then I beat it in 4 hours and was so let down… the past couple cods did a decent campaign, I enjoyed Cold War and MW2 quite a lot. Vanguard I actually hated so much I can’t remember if it even had a campaign
It really wasn't incoherent they just pieced together missing pieces and tried something new and remember Infinity Ward was the people who made the campaign, not sledgehammer
Video game voice actors don't give a fk how bad the script is they are desperate for work. Same story with anime VA they will take anything they get offered.
It’s so depressing to see AAA gaming in the state it’s been in. All the big titles we grew up on have become money grabbing shells of what they once were.
yeah only pre order from sctusl good game companies its what i do from soft naughty dog and rockstar are a good example a lot these online multiplayers games are lacking from greed
MW4 campaign: Somehow Price and Makarov are in the gulag. Price kills Makarov and Soap comes back to life. The quadrilogy was a match of Warzone this entire time.
I swear nobody actually dies in cod anymore, the most ridiculous one was the bad guy from warzone that captain Price killed in the final season of MW2019 but they lazily brought him back so he could be the main antagonist for fucking zombies. It's also all canon, what the hell even is this story?
besides Makarovs team, Ghost and Gaz weren't even doing anything until after Soap died... everyone is just standing around doing nothing like literal npc's. Not to mention how there's no emotion shown by anyone unlike OG soap's death. Like bruh 😂
@@ash.1065"Oh look the god who inspired us to kill children and destroy the world for absolutely nothing is about to die, but he did say they're his. Respect the 1v1 broski."
The fact they killed soap yet have characters such as Alex and Gaz still alive regardless of both of their stories feeling completely wrapped up amazes me. Well, it would amaze me if this franchise didn’t have a record of delivering half cooked games
I say this genuinely, the game could’ve ended if samara jumped out the plane. There’s a point where makarov jumps out of the plane. If samara did as well, she could have saved everyone onboard, and possibly could have killed makarov in the blast radius. This campaign really does kind of suck.
I thought the exact same thing on that mission- why didn't Samara just charge forward with all her strength towards that open door with a bomb, in an attempt to save everyone on board? Sure, she wanted to try and disarm it, but come on. No way in hell that was going to happen, unarmed, against several armed men, with a backpack on your chest. I thought immediately when that door was right in front of her "jump out" and she didn't lol
@@griknott Also apparently she could disarm a guy that was holding her at gunpoint but couldn't disarm the second guy that was pulling her to back of the plane, even though he had his back turned on her the entire time
Hell, a choice to either jump out the plane or stay in there would have better too, with each having different results on the later playthroughs depending on which one you'll take.
For those wondering there is a person holding onto her from behind. With a gun to her head. She couldn’t do anything. Also the plane mission if avoided wouldn’t have done much. Considering the next mission your job is to secure the black box and destroy it.
I think the biggest problem is that they advertised the campaign (I think) as the "epic finale to the Modern Warfare storyline" and then they leave it off with a cliffhanger where nothing was solved, the whole campaign was pointless, and the only difference made were 2 deaths.
Its starting to become absolutely incredible how out of touch these companies are. The last modern warfare (2019) campaign was great. All they had to do was follow the script. A 1 BILLION dollar budget and this is what they do? Give an indie dev 1 million and they would produce a masterpiece.
2019 was the year i finally tried call of duty. I told all my friends the shooter type games like this were shit but i am always accepting of being wrong And i was wrong about call of duty at least for 2019 cause i loved it. Like i REALLY loved it my friends would beg me to play something else. Now the newer ones are awful. I liked cold war i played mw2 and it wasnt good now we get this game and it looks like shit
@@HiddenmistSwagi played it and i'm also kind of a CoD "fanboy" and it was horrible , boring , dumb and just trash in general and i had all those thoughts while playing it before watching this video
Nevermind wtf ghost and gaz were doing on point... not seeing a group of enemies approach... why was makarov even there in the first place, SECONDS before the bomb was going to explode?
Bruh i didn't even think about that, the bomb was about to explode and makarov went "oh shit i forgot to kill soap", came back and killed soap then left
@@SpartanSouls256 fr. Mw2 2022 ended with ghost landing a headshot from like 500m during a windy ass night with no nods, and shitty construction lighting AND avoiding hitting Johnny in the process. How the fuck could he not hit Makarov's slow ass speed walking to his getaway?
@@kengiro0599brother didn’t even have time to leave. Pretty sure they explained the bomb would actually kill anyone within 10 miles of it. Even if he’s on a train he’d have about 20 seconds to get away and the train would need 3 minutes
As someone who absolutely loved the original MW trilogy growing up, and throughly enjoyed MW2019 and MW2, I was honestly just disappointed. I feel like they really missed the mark with potential emotional moments and the “open combat missions” would’ve be cool if they were only done once or twice instead of 4 times minimum. Also I know the guy playing Makarov did his best, but I don’t think he really captured the essence of the pure chaos and evil that Makarov gave in the original MW trilogy
OG markarov shot up an airport, started ww3, nuked a marine task force, and when that whole ww3 thing wasnt turning out as anticipated he poisoned every major NATO country to buy time. Plus all the shit he did prior when we were introduced to him.
If you like MW2 then you should easily like this game much more. All the OG maps, gameplay feels slightly different but for good, slide cancel and reload cancel are back, map voting, and the nice depth of field u get when aiming. I feel like MW3 is just a slightly better version of MW2. Only reason Im buying tho is bc all of our stuff transfers, so why not get it rlly
I completely agree. Makarov originally had this skeletal, almost ghostly appearance with a higher pitched voice than one would normally expect from your typical Russian villain. His gaunt frame, different colored eyes, and chaotic personality all came together to make a memorable and likable villain. They could have even teamed up him with a younger version of Menendez since the cartels were introduced in the second game; two of, arguably, the greatest CoD bad guys we've ever had and the opportunity is just wasted. And don't even get me started on how the actual plot and main characters were handled...
There's reusing assets, and then there is this. This is worse than an asset flip, because they didn't make anything new for this outside of the story, character models and scripted events for each mission. That was it, for a AAA game. That's what they want you to pay $70 for.
So like, how the fuck did Ghost and Gaz NOT kill Makarov? It was just Makarov and like 3 other guys, Ghost and Gaz had the element of surprise and they only "injure" Makarov? Literally just shoot him in the head, he doesn't have a helmet or anything, NONE of them do, why does everyone aim for the body when they're SO CLOSE
Remember guys, the original infinity ward team is the one who created these interesting characters which Activision is still milking and relying on. That team is now called Respawn entertainment. Can't wait for Titanfall 3.
Imagine thinking we'll get TF3 when Respawn abandoned and spits on the corpse of TF2 ruining its lore and characters with Apex. Even if TF3 happened all the talent that made TF2 probably work else where now
activision and blizzard are both shells of their former selves, reanimated meat puppet zombies being controlled like a marionette by greedy executives who are trying to squeeze every single last drop of money out of the beloved franchises the former developers made. STOP BUYING THIS CRAP.
Funny enough a good amount of respawn devs went back to infinity wars to work on the new modern warfare games, including the lead animater Mark Grigsby. It's a part of the reason why the animations started being so good back in MW2019
Yeah i mean it is more realistic to have a grissled well disciplined soldier be sad at his friends death but not break down and scream out and stuff. But it does take away from the emotional impact
It was fun when multiplayer maps were inspired off the story level designs. Now it seems that's flipped and the whole campaign is bottled on a same pattern map
@@josepha5146in the first CoD you had chance to react if someome was shooting you from behind, in this cod if you get shot from behind you're already dead
