Campers who camp to counter other campers: *"I get dirty so the lobby stays clean"*

I love how COD and Halo fans used to bash each other and now they just want their games back

“No more ridiculous cartoony weapon skins” Boy that did not aged well 😭

Modern Warfare is far from perfect. But it’s the first time in a while where I felt like they were actually trying. You can tell the devs really did wanna blow it out of the park on this one and I can respect that. Some things were a great success, some not so much. The campaign was straight heat though.

Camper: “Remember: No rushin”

My deaf homie was playing with me and even he heard someone coming around the corner.

As a kid growing up in the "Golden age" of COD(2006-2012), and then eventually moving onto other more intense franchises like Battlefield and such, I always wished COD would somehow find a way to balance their own style with innovations from other series. In my opinion, this game was exactly that, and it has been the best one since 2011 imo.

I almost wonder if what you were describing about the campaigns shock value almost making you “numb” to the controversial events that happen in the game was intentional, as maybe being a soldier seeing it over and over again you become numb after seeing devastating things, but who knows. The campaign was really good for sure, great vid!

“You either die rushing, or live long enough to see yourself become a camper”

I hate how you cannot defend Burger Town on Spec Ops

I love that if you pay close attention at the begining of the game when Alex gets ambushed after he grabs the gas you can notice that Hadir is actually their as he has his AUG with him which he'll have in any mission (Excluding flashbacks) he appears in You could also get his AUG in Multiplayer as a blueprint reward for coming first in a gunfight tournimate

That campaign ending though, knowing what we know now about MWII most likely coming this year, that campaign is going to be awesome

Modern Warfare’s Campaign in a Nutshell: Remember... no children.

Don’t get me wrong I like MW 2019 I just hate how people play it online

People saying that this game really is realistic and not just "forced controversial" are wrong. Real warfare and warzones are much, much WORSE. It is far more brutal, horrifying, and overall life-shortening than whatever you see here or in most media. It just goes to show how sheltered, unaware, and priveledged many of us can be: which is fine, the world shouldn't be experiencing shit like that in the first place. Like that one line said in John Wick 2: "If anything, the stories were watered down."

I'm not saying this as an excuse for MW's map design. I think IW made these map realistic because they thought that people would work with each other, and be like "I'll check this corner, you check this one", you know. They should've added maps that don't have this realistic design, and made maps like this but for a "tactical realism" mode, for example.

"no more goofy weapon skins" Anime trucks lol.

"An allied helicopter defied space, time, and physics just to kill me" -The Act Man 2019

It's pretty satisfying to know how quickly the vast majority of these bugs, glitches, and lack of customization were fixed or changed into this game's life cycle. Every issue with Spec Ops, the multiplayer bugs/animations, character customizations, etc. were all fixed within the "honeymoon" stage of this game. Gotta give Vanguard some credit tho, we finally have a pause button in Zombies after only waiting five months! For real though, MW2019 has a superb campaign and multiplayer in my opinion. The amount of changes and fixes they made so early on shows how dedicated the team was to making a great game. This is probably the most fun, fast-paced, polished COD experience I've ever had since the MW2-BO2 era. Both Gunfight and Warzone (Verdansk) were truly amazing as well. Solid experience.

The best modern day cod imo and it’s still holding up just as well today years later

On shipment your character shouts”, enemy at the container.”

"It's like these maps spawn you 70+ metres away" Battlefield players: have you ever ran a mile before?

I agree completely abt spec ops, I remember trying the first mission after beating the campaign with three friends and just being absolutely floored at how hard it was. And this was back during early covid so I had just been sitting on Xbox for like 3-6 hours a day (looking back Idek how I did that). I am not joking when I say we never got past the double juggernaut section outside of the stadium, and we weren’t bad at the game, me and one friend literally got Damascus camo, again I can’t believe it either, and the other two were good players as well, I guess I never realized how unnecessarily hard it was.

"You either die a rusher, or live long enough to become a camper" 🤣💯 Genius analysis, fine sir. A tour de force. Great video.

“All these huge maps would be dope to play infected with”....you did it Act man. Infected ground war soon. You son of a gun you did it

"No ridiculous cartoony looking weapon skins" 2 years after almost every skin that comes out for wz is anime

41:40 The Seperatist Droid Army, and.... Is that a kitchen sink with legs holding an AK?

As someone who beat all of the Spec Ops missions on release as a two man with randoms, I find the fact that you couldn't beat them insane with a four man. The most difficult was Paladin. Everything else was pretty easy. The modes got even easier with patches.

If it's a date you want, then we leave at six.

For spec ops, pretty sure they: Overestimated player skill Got to scared that it would be to easy Forgot to turn off ultra hardcore difficulty

The issue with your comments about the “controversy” is that this is relatively accurate to real life this stuff one way or another goes on. You also hit the nail on the head with your “being desensitised” comment, for the most part real soldiers do. You’re seeing a condensed version of real life, it’s well documented that all of this happens

42:40 Act man predicted Modern Warfares future

Act man, we need a part 2 of this, we need your thoughts on warzone

“Welcome to the Salty Spittoon, how tough are ya?” “I beat all the spec-ops missions...” “So?” ...In Modern Warefare 2019 solo”

48:26 I liked it when Garrick asked Nikolai then Nikolai said *"Truth Serum"* when interrogating the butcher (before entering the room)

16:54 that aged like milk

MW3 (2011) - “There’s a soldier in all of us”. MW (2019) - “There’s a camper in all of us”.

I love how they actually added all the gamemodes he wanted lmao.

1:50 I died lol 🤣

That subtle tool reference, that was a good one Act Man

Predictions before watching: Campaign- awesome Multiplayer- awesome and bad Spec ops- bad

*playing Shipment* “Enemy at the cargo container!” Gee thanks

I asked a long time ago but is there a reason why you haven't done a review/retrospective on the original COD4: Modern Warfare? Seeing as though it pretty much laid the groundwork for CoD as we know it and you've covered every CoD after it, I'd love to see a video for the game that sparked my love for this series.

37:53 subtle tool - vicarious reference, respect for that one bro

I love how the juggernaut kill streak in multiplayer you have a small amount of armor but the A.I juggernauts have like 10000 health

The Act Man: spawn system spawns you 70 meters from the objective BF players: First time?

Can’t stop watching you lol, I found you literally yesterday and I love your reviews on COD.

I honestly love this game. Everything about it is great, the biggest problem as always is the player base but even they aren’t too bad.

"no cartoony weapon skins" Activision: "Adds an anime skin"

Alternate titles: Call of Duty: Window Warfare Call of Duty: Modern Doorfare Call of Duty: Window Doorfare

Coming back to this almost 3 years after the release of MW19, I think that spec ops turned out pretty great in the end. I liked how they tried something new rather than copy and pasted the last games version of spec ops

Watching the ammo go down at 16:05 is super satisfying.

its so funny when your on shipment and the call out says : "enemy at the cargo container"

You either die a rusher, or live long enough to become a camper -TheActMan 2019

15:30 You're right, because at least I see it's actually possible to complete that challenge. I have yet to even do a MW2019 spec ops game

Some observations on Spec Ops: -4 players are needed to start a mission -Normal enemies can be killed with one headshot from any gun -Armored enemies and vehicles are rare -AP bullets can be put on any gun, meaning you can take out a chopper or a tank with a SMG if you have enough bullets -Supplies (like bullets) are everywhere These things combined mean that one very skilled player can beat the missions almost solo, especially if they know where the objectives and enemy spawns are. So if the other 3 players want to actually play, they need to be aggressive. And the enemies need to be plentiful. When I played, it ended up being a balance of careful rushing. You had to rush if you wanted the fun of shooting things, but if you rushed too recklessly, you'd get downed. Your take on Spec Ops makes you sound like you lost but didn't feel like learning how to win. Maybe it's because the previous games' missions were easier? I played every MW2019 mission. I played the challenge versions of the missions (melee only, headshots only, time bomb). I played the classic missions. I got every last piece of hidden intel. I died several times. And I had a blast. But that's because I saw that if I learned how to win, then I would. One of my happiest moments in gaming was getting the stealth intel from the airport mission, where you have to sneak into the building, use melee and silenced weapons, grab disguises, then open a secret door that can't be opened if your cover is blown. Needless to say, you can't get it with randoms, so it was me and 3 buddies. Just after we snuck in and opened the door, we got spotted. We were all worried we'd failed. But then we got there. In a dingy garage there was a truck, and one of the rarest collectibles in all of CoD. We grabbed it, and celebrated. And then a juggernaut came through a door behind us. I jumped in the truck and ran him over. We went back to celebrating and finished the mission. It was beautiful. Go back and learn how to win, Act Man. Bring some friends. You won't regret it.

Infinity Ward when designing the campaign: Exec 1: What’s the most innocent thing in the world? Exec 2: Uh...children. Exec 1: Shoot them.

"Enemy near the cargo container!" Me who is playing shipment:😐

30:20- I do agree with you, but you are a soldier carrying 30lbs of equipment so every step you take, you are gonna make a lot of noise.

I actually kind of miss how the main weapon you had used to determine your player model in multiplayer. In black ops 2 nearly every faction has a unique skin for every weapon class. Mercenary and Seals usually had a player model with a hood if you equipped a sniper primary. I'm tired of operators because they don't feel unique when you have the 3 of the same operator. I'd even settle for advanced warfare type customization.

"what are you calling this task force?" "... 1-4-1" Genuine goosebumps

“You either die a rusher, or live long enough to see yourself become a camper.” Powerful 😂

I was tryin to take a nap while listening to something, I got through his video on game consoles before I fell asleep. I was woken up from my slumber at an outrageous line that went something along the lines of “hot wet bucket of diarrhea” I thought I was trippin but was pretty funny if I hear that right then I heard hot bucket of dog puke and just started chuckling, like bro I’m trying tk sleep after a hard day at work, you have no right to be this funny.

2:28 Well, think of it this way. It's just a COD 4 in the Black Ops Universe...

Every Spec Ops game ever: I haven't left this shack in 20 days. Every time I stand up or look through the window, 20 RPGs immediately hit my face. We've killed off most of the Middle East, but they just keep coming. Each of us has been downed no less than 500 times. Karen has lost her voice permanently from saying "plug into the network" 8000000 times. And the loading bar objective is 15% done.

Girls: You don't know true pain! Men: *enemy gunship on shoot house arrives*

I’m sorry I couldn’t stop fucking laughing after I read that🤣🤣🤣13:38

The mission part where you have to illuminate the fields of soldiers pushing up is actually inspired and based on the real events from the movie 13 hours in bengazi

Spec ops is like Zombies at round 500 and the Zombies have guns

when is Ramirez making a return? hes the ultimate burger town defender

I’m now just watching this and I’m freaking dying! Loved the content and definitely had to subscribe

Cold War, Vanguard, MWII AND MWIII aint got shit on 2019

Playing at Azhir Cave "ENEMIES AT THE DESTROYED BUILDING!" "Which one, testicle breath? There's like 14 of them?!"

Act man:"No more cartoony weapon skins" Me holding my Anime guns: *oh right realism*

Your music choice is good i love it ive actually never heard deadrising music outside the actual game

Infinity Ward really knows how to do a Campaign, Multiplayer and of course Spec Ops if they weren't under the Pressure of Activision. Treyarch and Infinity Ward both are legendary developers for COD. Sledgehammer and Activision can't do shit

The last time I was this early, “Trophy” was still spelled wrong in the menus

"Without looking too cartoony" Me running around with an anime weapon skin: yeah I agree

This video was made before the dark times, before shipment

Hey bro, I just want you to know that your videos have sold me on the entire franchise. I've never played CoD game in my life but I discovered you through Halo and quickly became a CoD fan as well. Thanks also for helping me find out which games in the series are good.

Honestly the most annoying thing is callouts on FFA. Who are you calling out to?

REMINDER THAT HALO REACH COMES OUT ON PC THIS DECEMBER. MARK YOUR CALENDARS ACT MAN!

Fun fact. In the final mission when your Fara and you have to assassinate that guy, you could swap to a pistol and kill him without the knife.

man this review bring memories , spec ops i played once didnt like it , for multiplayer though ,there was a lot of camping but it kinda made me better at the game , i get forced to roam the map to reach them , learning the spawn algorithim , knowing the map camping spot , in matter of weeks i was shting on campers where every game i queue up i hard carry my team EVERY TIME , i was kind of underwhelmed and dissappointed in my opponents skills but it is satisfying to pop them .

Captain price has a smile so wholesome his beard forms a heart

I BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE THE GAME CAME OUT

I would Love to see the whole footage of Act Man trying to play the spec ops mode.

3, almost 4 years later, I can officially say the Spec ops for Modern Warfare 2019 is a masterpiece. A substantial masterpeice...well as long as all four players in your party are communicating and are ultra badass at the game😂

Infinity ward not only hates children it also hates Russians

"You ether die a rusher or live long enough to see yourself become a camper" spoken like a true cod fan.

I have to say, even after a few watches, this video has be laughing so hard at points i have to pause it. Even after the 3rd watch i may have even laughed harder. Love the content

This is the best COD in recent years maybe even ever and no one can change my mind

“Y’all are lazy in real life, lazy in the game.” -Powerful words of an anonymous player

Funny thing about the complaint that there's too much "controversial" content in the game ( like dead children, swinging corpses, crawling through dead bodies to evade the enemy ), but that's actually how real wars are. They're full of death, violence, hatred, blood, gore, rotting flesh, etc. And constant exposure has made and still makes soldiers desensitized to the hell that is war. For instance, Marine Eugene Sledge described a scene from his time in the Pacific theatre in which a fellow marine was casually tossing pebbles into the open skull of a dead japanese soldier while they were sitting around. No maliciousness intended. He was just tossing pebbles into the bloody mess of a human skull like a child skipping stones across a pond. If war is hellish enough, it can make even the most gruesome circumstances seem normal and uneventful. So, oddly enough, that might actually be the point of the constant, sick violence in Modern Warfare, to reflect on how you, the player, eventually become used to seeing that type of graphic content and are no longer moved by it if you're exposed enough.

It only took 4 years to undo every advancement this game made. Also DMZ from mwII and mwIII is spec ops mode with pvp, idk why no one is saying anything about that.

I don't know if its a problem anymore but on launch i remember everyone just taking 2 land mines or claymores, going to a house with 2 exists and laying down behind a pot and just camping the building for the whole game

I think there is one answer: SBMM.

Act Man: Infinity Ward, really hates children. internet: Hell yeah.

2:47 your best edit actman that killed me 😂 I can't stop watching, us ranger "WATCH OUT, SUICIDE CLAYMORE"
