Why Call of Duty WW2 Was Doomed to Fail 

Can you find matches on the dlc maps?

@@iseerashonal821Game is really dying now after Cold War and MW2023 came out I have only played one DLC map in Ground War in 5 years

@@iseerashonal821 On PS4 there is definitely a solid player base. Though this game is getting less and less popular, I still can play those dlc maps when searching TDM lobbies from time to time.

I just got off ww2 i find a ton of players and i play dlc map all the time most people be on during the morning / afternoon and a decent amount at night

Only played this game during the first 6 months after launch. In the fall of 2023, is there still a player base on Xbox?

I grew up obsessed with making sure I played every call of duty. Before I ever even played an online game ever I was playing the first call of duty ever. I was there for OG zombies, ect. Black ops I remember came out when I first started the 6th grade. It was truely one of a kind masterpiece. It's wild how to this day I can remember every square inch of Nuketown. Yet as the cods got more "futurist" I started to lose interest. I still played them but I don't remember every detail of every single map like I do the first black ops. WW2 I hardly even remember eventhough it's far far newer than black ops. I see the footage and eventhough I played hours of the game i think "I don't even recognize this" and then I'll see a spot where I'll actually remember it. I played so many call of duties. So many, but I never even bought vanguard. Never even seen any footage of it. I'm pretty sure. I played modern warfare, modern warfare 2, I remember it dearly to this day. Modern warfare 3 even, but there is call of duties that came out somewhere in there that was so bad to me that I can't even remember the name of it. I think zombies was best in the OG maps. Kino der toten was my favorite but the advancement to ascension, all the way to moon. moon was first of it's kind. I was hooked. Then When transit zombies came out, deep down I knew it was an "upgrade" but it lost the character to me because it was harder to train the zombies to get to higher levels. They'd just kill you on the bus after a while. I had a harder time understanding what was even happening, and that felt like it only got worse as more zombies came out. They went ham don't get me wrong, probably some of the most advanced zombies maps ever made, but they got so complex and I got so confused that I didnt feel that urge to want to get on and play with my friends who I had grown up playing multiplayer and zombies with. We just moved on. I would rather play kino DER toten a million more times ontop of the million attempts I've already got, rather than play transit tbh. Black ops was so so good at setting the mood and the simplicity was huge. It wasn't until cod warzone where I really came back because it had such killer graphics. Combined with the fact they took the leap and went into battle royal game mode but we also had entirely new game modes like gunfight. During when cod got futurist for a while and killed it for me, I got into battlefield because it brought that feeling of realism back and with a vengeance. BF1 was my first and favorite the servers with operation metro 24/7, you just can't beat it. Gulf of Oman, Caspian border, ECT. I played these maps with the same friends I played cod zombies with growing up, and we made meant great memories. I was hyped for BF4 because of the levelution and it was dope. I was hooked and I was so ready for BF1 and it was great and all, but it just didn't hit the same for some reason. It was better in others but running around with a bolt action just isn't as fun as running around with an m16a4 watching Abrams tanks blowing down a skyscraper. Tank vs tank warfare while you're on foot chilling on a rooftop with the squad sniping across the bay. It was so much fun and for some reason going back in time which I wanted, ended up not being as fun as I thought it would be.

What is wrong with you typing all of this ???

History channel ain’t good anymore

@@thunderkatz4219 I know. I grew up watching the war documentaries on History Channel but the aliens took over.

You look like you’d have fun building a bridge

Literally same bro, the last cod game me and my friends played together

God I loved war mode. Played thousands of games

Biggest dopamine boost when you finish building that bridge.

Yeah I love this game tbh I've played every call of duty since cod4

Headshots did body them quickly. The boss fight was super easy with packed svt and free fire. Finished the bosses with 1 clip each

They easy to kill

I love your grammar💜

*magazine*

"it'd've"

I'm just a sucker for the advanced movement. Still miss It and would give anything to see It back, although I admit that MW2019 was superior to the "Future Trinity" of AW, BO3 and IW in all aspects except Zombies (BO3 will always be the best).

@@bigbangrafa8435 I found aw movement to be extremely fun if you got good at it and it would be an amazing party game mode to add to games just so people can fuck around with the advanced movement

The Vietnam War is still a very controversial war. Hence games being written/censored in ways as to not piss off certain countries, groups and entities. That's why it cracks me up when gamers are like "I dOnT wAnT PoLiTiCs iN GaMeS! GaMeS sHoUlDnT bE PoLiTiCaL!"

Fun fact: what became Cold War was supposed to be just that. But Raven and sledgehammer kept fighting cause Raven wanted to meddle a lot

@@bigbangrafa8435 it'd be amazing if call of duty adopted a less rigid momentum system and re introduced a tweaked version of advanced warfare movement to make a modern movement shooter

Those pre rendered cutscenes are somethin else man

3000 hours? Do you even have a life? What in the actual fuck

That’s good for you, myself and many others love call of duty, but completely skipped purchasing this one. Props to you and your fiancé, but this game sucks

@@jasonsolis5416 your opinion isn’t valid then because you didn’t even buy or play the game.

@@jasonsolis5416 "I didn't play this game, but it sucks." Epitome of the COD community in one comment lmfao

Yeah its not just about the game itself but also the people you play it with. CoD WaW was much simpler but playing a LAN Zombies game with your best buddied just was the best in CoD WAW

"Stop the enemy from building that bridge!" I loved this game. It did a lot more than people give it credit for.

@@user-mb8zh9er7y there was one with a plane section to that I never got to play but it looked sick

war mode was great it provided personal challanges and teamwork without mics i remember trynna quickscope and get 100 kills i always felt hyped when that happened for me this is the best game after bo1 tied w mw2 for me personally it was just amazing

War mode was so good.

Lmao right

I so remember this. People were saying they wanted to go back to the past, yet they chose to dog the game the second it came out. Sure, it had a rocky start, but people could have been constructive rather than destructive. The game got a lot better after the lifecycle ended. Sledgehammer was able to put out awesome updates to it & the game still has a solid player base to this day.

@@BrandonBowditch its the best game they made aside from Advanced Warfare

@@ayeitsdayday1471 Well Sledgehammer have only made 3 cod games lol (technically 4 if you want to count their assistance on MW3).

I'd like to add on to this. I've noticed years of complaining about boring 3 lane symmetric maps. Infinity ward brings back maps with actual design and points of interest, power positions, cover, ect and the community complains. It's why I do not take the cod community seriously. As a mostly campaign player I like to see Cod innovate in terms of gameplay mechanics, level design, length, narrative and setpieces, not doing the same thing over and over. It's why I'm at least curious about black ops 6. Treyarch were never afraid to try completely different things for campaign.

CoD WW2 should be titled CoD: Fake History. I remember when I saw one of the trailers where a soldier says the Germans "are killing Jews" I laughed out loud. Eisenhower conveniently omitted Jews in his speech about the victims of WW2. Americans did NOT care about the Jews. America only entered the war because France was in trouble and then there was worry about the Pacific. Also America's forces were diverse in the real WW2. For example East Asians served in the army. And there were Native American pilots who wore facepaint! And this game depicted none of the true history of America in WW2.

I loved the multiplayer launch and most criticism I see of it on launch I just didn't agree with. I thought the spawns made sense, I liked most of the maps, I loved the gun play

Or fire them from the CoD franchise they basically screw 3ARC games plus could made a competent CoD by their own.

@@noobbotgaming2173 Its an arcade-esque shooter, they never said they were going for complete historical accuracy or realism and they dont have to. Half of the people that play cod dont even play the campaigns anymore so it's not like they even focus on them or make them half the time anyway.

@@walkerallen425 They specifically said they were going for historical accuracy with ww2.

My man this was me too

Well aren’t you cool

@@viceonafridaynight fuck yeah, most BR is boring as all hell. Apex is about it for fun ones

@@Booster_Gold115 I don't try, it just happened. I don't like boring games yo 🤷

@This Apple Judges I'm aware, but even a watered down version of titanfall is still more fun than probably any other battle Royale because of the titanfall elements

Same.. I think for those that jumped in at this point it has a special place in their heart.

That’s how I feel about world at war this game just wasn’t it for me glad you love it though :D

The characters were great?... You have very low standards.

That start of the campaign was brutal and the game looks good, haven't made it that far in the game but I've been debating between it or Infinite Warfare.

And our best buddy Zussman

@@MoonlightBelladonna Play both, they have good campaigns.

WW2 sucked

Better than pick ten? I liked CoD Ghost's system more than this one.

loved it as well, went back years later just to mop up the gun contracts that i hadnt unlocked and still had a blast

Idk about last good cod. Every cod was good, it just matters who you're talking to.

@@snopdogg2x Eh nope

@@d30n6 i hear mfs call ghosts the best cod 💀

@@snopdogg2x People saying cod ghost is best cod makes me feel bad about this gaming industry.

Would I be correct in assuming you’re around like 12 years old?

@@ThatGuyThatGames24 no

@@bigjewshnozzle816 oh

You must be 12 the campaign was terrible. It was one soldier recording his adventures not to mention the same old garbage that CoD is infamous for NPC following simulator. It's not overhated it gets what it deserves

@@Legion849 I never played the campaign because I knew it wasn’t worth my time to, I mainly buy for zombies and multiplayer

It was still boring. It has nothing on WAW.

@@Onmysheet pretty fun ,gunplay is good streaks is boring

@@michaelmayers3622 The maps are boring and guns are nowhere near as powerful.

not exactly matches "going back to the roots with boots on the ground"

Boring af it was terrible

People hate it because it was just an off brand Treyarch Zombies, it not like Infinity Ward were they did something different with their zombies

The maps besides the first one were utter garbage.

@@wetalkinb0utpractice Wrong. The map on the island is the shit

@@Creatxr9530 Better than the fucking mystical bullshit Treyarch started making with BO2.

@@alexschneider8494 bruh

Nah

@@Jere2777 lol I thought it was mid AF but an advanced warfare 2 would be ass so I’d say all they would need to fix were they’re maps loot boxes and doing something else other than zombies

I agree I loved cod ww2

Cope

All the characters in the in this game were generic and boring , the older ww2 games had multiple fronts and stories and were pretty crazy and exciting. If they only would’ve built on it for this game, it would’ve been a classic

Call of duty, call of duty 2, call of duty 3. Three is the big one, it's complete ass and more people should know that. Then we can debate on if the side games should get one.

nah it's just poor design

Train go boom 🤡

Hit master prestige today

Agreed

@@CL-el9bd bo3 cw iw ww2 bo1 last one could be replaced with bo4 to each there own

I have yet to play Vanguard but I'm having a hard time believing it's as bad as people say it is.

@@LowResLeafa It isn't honestly. The zombies is pretty rough but the multiplayer is a lot of fun and the campaign is enjoyable albeit with rough pacing due to so much of the game being disconnected origin stories. Most of the negative sentiment is just from people whining about "historical accuracy". I'd frankly play Vanguard any day over the original 3 cod games.

can guarantee u theres ppl out there, at least one person, who will defend supply drops 😭

That’s the issue I see. The game was and is awesome. Just got back into it. Sure there’s some shotgun cheese, but the game is fantastic. It had a terrible launch, and the lifecycle was rocky, but after the pressure was taken off of them, they made an awesome product. I don’t think it can be ignored that the community is a large part of why these game developers are struggling to put out an awesome product. Like you mentioned, Cold War & Vanguard. If you try to please everyone, you please no one.

Can you still find matches on the dlc maps?

Finally a voice of reason in these despicable comments. Ww2 is the best call of duty by far imo. It and black ops 2 are the only games I felt attempted to be realistic.

@@theysayisagorilla BO2 was realistic? How was that possible when it was set in the future?

@@wordenroger6188 NEAR future. 3 and 4 were "FUTURISTIC" jackwad. U tryna b cute n clever?

@@wordenroger6188 anything in bo2 is tech the military def has had for years.

Like cloaking device suits,gun sights that can "see" through thin walls and thermal EoTech size sights that outline the hearsource?...Yeah..sure Although the Thermals were presented recently,and small backpack size drones and stuff also started to see service,but years after the game came out CoD WWII is a rather bad game in all regards...and realism or accuracy are major flaws BO2 is more accurate and realistic despite playing in the(now pretty much alternate) future

Thats crazy dude, think about it. You’re like 17-18 now right? Time really is flying by. When I was 13 I was playing BO2, and I played BO2 for a couple years because Ghosts and AW were boring and unfun to me. Ten years later and here we are. You’ll be looking at WWII like my BO2, and theres absolutely nothing wrong with that. Its my biggest gripe with the CoD community, because they hold MW2 and BO2 to such a high level, but end of the day its all subjective. All that matters is the experiences you had in any of the games.

@@suppressed_viii When I was 13, I was playing World At War. haha Time does fly. I feel old now. EDIT: But wow!! What a game to start with!! BO2 literally has nothing wrong with it.

Same here, i was around 13 when this came out while its not my favourite cod it’s definitely up there

So was that you at 9:33?

Woman and black german soldiers

@@Nolongerhereanymore laser guns red dots

That's not a high bar though lol

Not a high bar

War is a classic, wish that became a staple. Best combination of sweaty and casual

War was the best, especially since the base Multiplayer maps were kind of bad, so it made up for it.

@Sexy Rose I’m in a younger area and I loved the original 3 cod games, modern warfare, WaW, bo1 and 2. But I still greatly love the ww2 campaign and I think it has better story than half the other games. So what’s your point? Oh right you don’t have one other than “you’re young shut up”

@@Czarwinters3313 none of those call of dutys are original. Go back to ps2/game cube and play Finest hour and Big Red one they were truly the original call of dutys.

Surely looks good. What I can't get over is how almost comically bad Sledgehammer is at sound design. The train crash is an excellent example. You see this absolutely massive crash and what do you hear? A bit of metal, some pebbles rolling around and a lot of bass boosted "cinematic" sound lmfao

@@MalakaiDerg sledgehammer is so far below treyarch and iw that it’s not a good time when we learn they’re coming out with a video game lol

@@Jeffardy24 We will see what they have in the future but yeah, after Vanguard I'm afraid I don't have any interest lol. Hoping the best for MW2 tho

Maps weren’t amazing at all lol but the first one was actually.

I know right it had some of the smoothest knifing of any COD

idk maybe it's the fact all of that just flew AROUND Daniels without hitting him at all

People wanted cod ww2 to be "serious" I guess.
