I disagree with the guy on the MW Zombies. DMZombies is shit and not really playable solo.
CW Outbreak was better, you weren't stuck on one map, you could complete the objectives and then jump to the next map.

This is a long shot, but I hope the Gulf War trailer ruffles some feathers like the Cold War trailer did.

It's hilarious how this mission pissed off so many people when it really didn't do anything all that brazen.

did it?
I've thought for a while that a lot of the recent CoD controversies are either gaming jurnos clutching their pearls like the faggots they are, or Activision paying them to astroturf it in the hopes of having another "no russian" for promotion/publicity.

The Highway of Death mission took a real life event, committed by the Americans against the Haijis, and just re-wrote it to be the Russians vs Haijis to fit the narrative of the game, with General Barkov of the Russian Federation oppressing the fake-istan country the game used as a stand-in for Iraq and a lot of other ME countries.
You're pretty much right, CoD's controversies, outside of how shit the games are, are usually just faggots being mad at nothing or Activision paying for publicity.
If they want a new No Russian, they'd basically have to force you to play as an IDF soldier bombing towel head kids. Or make you a Russian crushing a Ukrainian with a sledgehammer lmfao. Shit they would not get away with in the current landscape because war games are too pussy to portray war properly in the modern age.

Yes. Russia was not happy with them being the fictional scapegoat for an aptly named IRL event. So upset, that Sony decided to pull MW2019 from Russia's PSN store. Whether intentional or not is up for debate, but do remember MW2019's marketing for its campaign was it to be "ripped straight from the headlines."

At the time, yeah. The U.S. caught a lot of shit over that. Tl;dr the U.S. boxed in a 2 mile long convey and shot the shit out of it. This was widely regarded as overkill and a dick move.
It was honestly a rather odd thing to include in the game, it would have been better to just not put it in at all instead of the "but Russia" spin. It's such an oddly specific thing to alter to use as a reference for a short set piece.

The entire plot of MW 2019 felt like CIA propaganda, including having the towelhead leader being a young woman "because there's no time to be sexist in war" or whatever, as though in real life, the leader would be anything other than a respected tribal leader who has killed men with his bare hands.

Remember how Cold War used the Tianmen Square footage in it's trailer, along with Yuri Bezmenov's interview?
Yeah, they removed the Tianmen Square footage from trailer after China bitched at them.
COD is safe-edgy at best, completely toothless at worst. Don't forget that the DOD has their fingers in the game as well, since it used to be quite a bit of propaganda for the Army back in the day(one of the reasons we never got a dedicated Vietnam game)

Oh shit you're right, I completely forgot that the only people they really upset were the dyed-hair types and Russia lmfao.
Yeah. At the same time, I guess it does make sense to some capacity since the game is set in fake Jihadiraqistan. And the fictional war would've started around the time of the Iraq war did IRL if I recall correctly, and I think some of the locations are ripped out of Iraq itself. So they used a real war incident from Iraq, changing it to fit the narrative lol.
I memba. Yeah, CoDs edgiest moments was literally "you are russian and kill nazi" and "you are american and kill vietcong" and "you are american larping as russian terrorist and do terror." and probably that one kid who got bombed in MW3 (the good one) lol.
The edgiest thing about CoD are the faggots who still have an ego over the (fake, gay and rigged) competitive scene, and retards who shot people because of CoD, like the Sandy Hook faggot. (rest in piss remington)
End of the day, COD could have a campaign about a group of homosexual luchadors, as long as the multiplayer is grounded and fun I can overlook the fagginess. Shame COD hasn't been fun since MW2/3.
I miss the days of being generic army guy 69 with my M4 with a singular attachment, maybe two if i used a perk. MW2's M4A1 is sexy and I will not hear otherwise.

If they don't give a shit about the campaign, they don't give a shit about the MP, either.

We're on page 4 and there hasn't been any discussion about the game in weeks. That's how you can tell this franchise is truly well and dead
NOBODY EVEN COVERED THE CYBERATTACK/SERVER SHITTING ITSELF A MONTH BACK
Activision has either become so incompetent that they fucked something up on their front or the hacking has gotten so bad that there has been some sort of a cyberbreach or ransomware on thereabouts of February 23rd. You know it's serious when store bundles are down and SBMM dies out only to reveal that the game without it plays just like any old COD with much more relaxed matchmaking.
You can't make this shit up, I was just thinking about the good old days and how it would be great to be able to play these games again, and what do you know? That isn't going to happen, the community and the companies that made these games as we know them are gone forever. The cheating problem is so bad now that god only knows if your console of choice won't be bricked, let alone talking about aimbotters or wallhackers. It's simply not even worth it to play these old games and even then your safety is not guaranteed even in the newest titles.
If you're holding out hope for Black Ops 5 or Gulf War or whatever the game will be called, don't. Just pray that BO2 is stable enough so that we can actually play that game in 2025 and have some sort of reunion party with other players or something.
Edit: The COD numbers are also apparently in the dumpster, call me shocked

I play with bots on Plutonium. But yes, the good old days are over...even when they tried to bring it back, they just couldn't resist censorship, fag flags, and ultimately, Nicki Minaj costumes.

Plutonium seems like the best bet of anything CoD related being playable. I wouldn't hold your breath on any of these getting any better going forward.

Apparently the launch of the new Warzone mobile has been a disaster despite so many studios working on it.

I'm seeing the game roasted left and right, it looks worse than COD Mobile's Battle Royale. At least that had the novelty of being able to play Blackout on the toilet back then for the first time, Warzone and mobile battle royale is so overdone at this point that I don't even know who this is marketed for. The console/PC Warzone players for when they leave home, which never actually happens? They should have dropped this like 3 years ago. It should be noted that even the most modern phones are having trouble running this game, that is when you're even allowed to play due to very poor Activision service implementation that might prevent you from signing in at all.
Seeing this franchise die in real time is more entertaining than anything it actually made in the last few years, and watching is free. I've been catching up on some COD news, so I will link a few interesting videos in case anyone is looking for some background noise:
MLG circuit is collapsing and major players are suing Activision
Long-winded rant about the current state of the games/microtransactions(includes talk of 30$ battle passes not even working right) and he talks about how he is playing other games from his backlog instead like FEAR(which is exactly what you should do, too). Oh, unsurprisingly BT is quitting COD early again and refusing to play the game after covering that stupid meat packing plant map months ago, I can't blame him.
Rumor: Apparently Sledgehammer(makers of Vanguard and the studio behind MW6/III) told Activision to shove it, they don't want to work as a "second hand studio" anymore. This could be why 25% of the studio got fired recently, rumors say that COD 2025 is also going to be Treyarch in this case, making it the first time since COD 1 and COD 2 where one studio made two games in a row if true.
BT talks about how he thinks Call of Duty is dead, without hyperbole, and why. He has a point, and I pretty much share his opinion on this.
Video he linked about the cheating epidemic in COD(Spoiler: one of the major reasons why the franchise is dead right now).
I've watched some Nero's Cinema as well. Guy seems to be one the last OGs still covering COD and always seemed to have good takes. Funnily enough he shares a lot of opinions on the current day COD with BT, except he actually plays the game everyday for content. Ew.
One of the most tonedeaf media campaigns I have ever seen, altho knowing Activision it might be intentional outrage marketing for some extra engagement for this dying franchise.
Something I have been curious about: How well do the remakes of MW2 maps actually play in MW6? I heard about ruined lighting and awful spawns but not much else. A short video ranking the maps, this one felt like a nostalgia trip.
This last video made me miss jetpack CODs. Remakes of old maps in those, like Terminal, Pipeline or Highrise actually felt appropriate since the verticality added by exo suits changed how the maps played completely. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Advanced Warfare also had a short-lived playlist for people who wanted boots-on-ground matches without jetpacks, on maps specifically made for jetpacks. Those were really interesting, flipped how the maps actually played and forced completely different kind of playstyles. I wish it lasted longer than it did before the playlist became a ghost town. Remaking the same maps for yet another boots-on-ground game just feels cheap and seems like it doesn't work at all with the current way people play COD.
Shit, I might just go play one of the jetpack games with bots for nostalgia.
