Black ops 1 will always be my favorite cod game. Me and my dad used to play together when I was 10yo. Loved that game
I don’t ever comment on videos but I want to highly praise how well made this video is, to the script, the great use of footage and the length, love this kind of content
I grew up with cod 3 and the slander in this video absolutely crushed me as a fan. It was super solid back in the day and was one of the first multi player experiences to keep me hooked for an extended period of time
Bro Black Ops 1 campaign is the best campaign. I've only played it once and I've never wanted to play it again I remember everything and I look back on it so fondly.
While I have great respect for Infinity Ward and love the Modern Warfare trilogy, Treyarch will always be my favorite. Their games tend to be more fun and arcadey, also just very colorful and nice to look at.
Odd that no one mentioned here yet that World at War had had custom zombies maps for YEARS, one of the big sells for Black Ops 3 was the customs, yeah, but that hype stemmed from the mod tools being available for the first time in 7 years
Whenever someone says "if you made it this far in the video, consider liking and subscribing" I usually don't listen much but I saw I was over an hour into an almost 4 hour long video and I love long videos so I was like "Yeahh, I should like and sub lol" Thanks for the great work!
I love world at war, great atmosphere, good gameplay (minus the grenade spam) and a lot of other things come together to make it my favorite cod game
Man, I used to play the crap outta those old Spiderman games. I had no idea Treyarch made those. At that time I didn't care about who developed anything I watched or consumed. Funny how times have changed.
Good video man I watched all the way through with no breaks and I was entertained the whole way through keep it up❤
COD3 was my first COD, and its very likely I would have never been into COD or WWII without it. It's one of my core childhood memories, literally. This game was bearly 2 years old when I started playing on a 360 when I was learning to play an FPS for the first time at the age of 4. I was completely sucked into the atmosphere thanks to the first level's intro. The upbeat old music playing, the P-47s flyling overhead, then my character being called over and the first thing I do in the game is get a tutorial disguised as a betting game to shoot helmets and throw 'nades into a half-collapsed cabin. For a kid and newbie to FPS games, it was the perfect way to welcome them into what COD3 had to offer. It was short, simple, and taught the bare essentials before throwing you into hell. I most vividly remember the second mission where you're storming the German fortifications, just the rough, muddy, rainy mood, even a kid could understand the tone the devs were trying to get across. I fell in love with the M5 Stuart because of the Stuart Rhinos in that mission. Then the fact I was a 4 year old playing a COD game caught up with me and I got endlessly stuck on the first Canadian mission where you gotta drive the Jeep and for the life of me I couldn't figure out where to go lmao
I can speak for a pretty large part of the hardcore fans of BO4 that stayed on the game even after MW19 released. MW2019’s MP was just not for a lot of us. It was way too casual friendly and lacked any skill-gap. Couldn’t get into it, so I went back to BO4 along with many others. Obviously went back to Zombies too.
Went to sleep while listening to this and had a dream I was being followed by you spitting exposition about COD the entire time
The nostalgia this video brought is crazy
This was and will be my favorite video essay/retrospective on a game/s I’ve played every year since my childhood by far. Great video man very informative and entertaining
Said zombies turned WAW from a 20 hour game to a 30 hour game. Meanwhile i put at least 200 hours into this game in between doing the campaign 4-5 times, multiplayer for at least 50 hours. And over 100 hours in zombies. As a kid i got this game just for zombies and got all the dlc. COD3 got me into cod but cod4 and WAW made me truly fall in love with the series when i was a kid. I have over 2000 hours on the series but almost all of it stops after bo2
You forgot about part of BO2 Zombies of Tranzit’s Ambition. Treyarch and Jimmy had many ideas of wanting Zombies to have these fun gamemodes while Tranzit was going to be the best map ever, but because Treyarch & Jimmy were too ambitious and Tranzit had trouble running thought the PS3 and Xbox 360, they had to cut the game modes and Tranzit’s ambitions were cut down because the consoles at the time couldn't handle the map, hence, Fog, Lava, and Denizens were implemented by force to slow players down so that the game can load up memory space. This was a dark time for being a COD Zombies fan and Tranzit almost killed COD Zombies until Mob & Origins and Jason stepped in and saved the mode. It’s a shame Jimmy had too much ideas that were fun for Tranzit but had to be cut because of the tech along with Tranzit having massive cut content.
1:40:35 You are 100% right on gamers not caring for the MW setting. I came in a bit late into COD. I Got a PS3 slim in high school and uncharted came included with it. That was my first action game with guns and when I saw the trailers for BO1 it looked so balls to the wall that I got my sister to buy it for me. I played the single player multiple times and I had NO idea that the prison segment or ship segment was scripted because I'd be immersed as hell. If I played that today I know I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much because of the restrictions but wow man. This is such an amazing video. Not done with it yet but this video is longer than the new COD campaign and I am enjoying it.
Jason Blundell likely left mid-late 2019, there were rumours that Jason had left right before the release of Alpha Omega, and given that he did not appear in any of the marketing or live streams that 3ARC did during that era to promote their content updates, it's more likely than not that he left long before CW was actively being developed by Treyarch.
