today I'm finally going to say goodbye to Modern Warfare 2019. normally I would have more time to
put into a video like this but after taking three years to finally say goodbye to this
game and literally just making rip Vanguard yeah let's not keep melting my brain Beyond repair not
like there's that much to melt am I right also for what it's worth I literally moved during
the end of this game's life cycle and I did not have any time to make this video which is why
it never happened back then and lastly before I deliver this beautimus commentary I would like
to explain the difference between rip videos and goodbye videos or at least how I see them nowadays
I first started this little mini series with rip Advance Warfare and I also made rip Black Ops 3
Because at that time I was extremely frustrated and disappointed with how the games turned out
in the end and like many others at the time I was getting fed up with EXO Call of Duty games but by
the time we got to infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare remastered I felt like I was being too
harsh on these games especially infinite Warfare because I didn't really play it all that much and
in retrospect the advanced warfare and Black Ops 3 videos should be more like goodbye videos because
I actually missed those games and how fun they were I just wish they didn't get [ __ ] up by
microtransactions and douchey players but that's out of my hands if it's a Rip video nowadays it
either means the game is bad or it's dead to me if it's a goodbye video it means that the game
was either good or I think that the game will still potentially hold up after many years to
come which is why I'm finally bringing you guys goodbye Modern Warfare fair 2019. I remember when
this game was first announced and how excited I got to hear that Modern Warfare was back Captain
Price would be returning as our lead character and that there was going to be a true emphasis
on what made the first Modern Warfare game so great attention to detail the original Modern
Warfare Call of Duty 4 revolutionized Call of Duty for making bold additions and changes to
the game perks killstreaks create a class Prestige Mode leveling up unlocking camos
to name a few are just some of the things that a Call of Duty game had never done up until that
point Cod 4 also nailed the photo realistic aesthetic almost too well for some people's
taste but overall this is what set the tone for the Modern Warfare subgenre bold and realistic
but at the same time Arcadia ends a fun Call of Duty experience then came Modern Warfare 2 which
cranked it to 11 with shotgun secondaries one-man Army Noob tubes Pro Perks and the game-ending new
and in some aspects Modern Warfare 3 arguably cranked it even higher with regards to the
almighty specialist bonus making you feel nearly Invincible as you climb your way to a MOAB this
is just a small amount of the expectations that the modern warfare games laid out for us badass
soundtracks and spawn themes a believable app atmosphere yet over-the-top action and
a complete pivot from the roots of the original Call of Duty games and Modern Warfare 2019 was no
exception to the rule the outstanding attention to detail photo realistic Graphics fast time to
kill anxiety-inducing soundtrack Barry Sloan groundwork gunfight Barry Sloan free DLC for
Life obsidian camo grinding until you get carpal tunnel Larry bone this game had it all until it
didn't [ __ ] Destiny dialogue Modern Warfare 2019 hit the nail on the head it was whacking
the [ __ ] out of those molds at the beginning the Modern Warfare campaign was phenomenal spec
ops was okay but we gave it time to improve and multiplayer was amazing and we thought
it could only get better but this is where things started to get kind of questionable one thing we
have never seen for a Call of Duty game at this point is a DLC expansion for the campaign and
even though in a sense we're going to be getting this with Modern Warfare 2 2022 they could have
considered it for Modern Warfare 2019. I don't know how Infinity Ward could have implemented
this for Modern Warfare 2019 but I wish there was somehow more of its to play because it was
the highlight of the game for me I have felt the same way about the first three Modern Warfare
campaigns as well it would be so amazing to see these storylines continue to be built upon and to
expand what we love even more but what happened instead we got new Spec Ops maps and missions
which are just reused assets from ground war new maps in multiplayer turned out to be either
remakes of old Maps or actual new maps that were competing with Stonehaven to see which one is more
boring spoiler they both win the concept of bold Innovation that Modern Warfare 2019 need did it
in order to live up to the standards of the great modern warfare games before it ended up slipping
through the cracks as the game's life cycle went on the campaign held up but spec ops right off the
bat took a big step backwards from what Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 did and sadly it
never took any steps forward as time passed same goes for multiplayer there were so many good maps
that could have been brought back to this game imagine going for long shots on bog or high rise
Mission and Dome from Modern Warfare 3 were so good but it looks like Vanguard gets half of
that dream for some reason Showdown and wetwork could have been great additions as well the map
remake choices overall were pretty decent but the problem is that every season brought us only one
remake map and one new map and the new maps were generally not very fun to play this same principle
seems to apply to the rest of multiplayer for Modern Warfare 2019's life cycle instead of
taking the leap and continuing to add new maps new guns create new game modes from scratch and
truly make those ambitious Innovations they got spread too thin not just because they were trying
to supplement ground war and gunfight content as well but because of something even bigger
Warzone became a storm that even Modern Warfare could not weather the free-to-play Battle Royale
option that used modern warfare's assets ended up exploding in popularity prior to the release of
Warzone Modern Warfare 2019 was living like a king but as Warzone continued to dominate in popularity
Modern Warfare was left no choice but to retreat and become the jester since Warzone gained so
many monthly active users and so much money for Activision the focus sharply shifted onto hyping
up Warzone instead of continuing to improve upon a great Foundation that Modern Warfare 2019 had laid
out for us we could have gotten more meaningful updates with more content but Warzone was now the
center of attention am I perhaps looking at this through the wrong lens Modern Warfare 2019 came
first right the campaign Spec Ops and multiplayer were all in development and later on they decided
to add Warzone right assuming that's the case then they must have just taken all of those existing
ground war maps and glued them together to make the verdansk map for Warzone although if you
think about it it would have probably just been a lot easier to just make the entire verdansk map
first for Battle Royale and then divide up the map into smaller section for us to play on oh right
lens wrong perception don't feel bad they had me fooled as well they had all of us fooled by making
it seem like modern warfare 2019 was gonna be the Golden Child the game that would actually get new
and especially old Cod fans to fall in love with the Call of Duty game again for more than a month
but for what feels like the millionth time that was not in the cards for us the reality is that
a free-to-play battle royale game that could become popular had the potential for Activision
to make a lot of money especially to offset the free DLC that Modern Warfare 2019 was going to
be giving us Call of Duty war zone would be the main priority and Modern Warfare 2019 would just
be the launching pad for it if you don't believe me or you don't believe that this was conceptually
Activision strategy just take a look at Cold War and Vanguard these games were created to
add variety to Warzone and Warzone alone the main difference is that Modern Warfare 2019 and Black
Ops Cold War benefit from the previous existing subgenres unlike Vanguard but regardless of sales
and whether you like or dislike any of these three games they all suffer the same fate at the end of
the day all of their paths lead to Warzone it's like a parasite that sucks the life out of the
games we love and as time has gone on COD players have not only taken notice but they're getting
sick of it it's clear as day that these games only exist to pump new life into a battle royale game
that's going to expire soon on a more positive note it seems like players are catching on to
the nonsense and responding by well not buying or playing the newer Call of Duty games there's not
much else we can do at this point this community is teeming with what seems like an endless amount
of good ideas for the franchise but it usually goes unnoticed and the games that get released end
up being letdowns as a result but this is where Modern Warfare 2019 differs for me I wouldn't
say that Modern Warfare 2019 as a game was a letdown or disappointing I mean maybe at times
when I was frustrated with the multiplayer but what is truly disappointing is how the game was
treated post-launch Modern Warfare was not a bad launch game if anything I think it's one of the
better Call of Duty launches in a long while but as time went on the game slips through the cracks
and could not be found literally if you try to find and launch Modern Warfare on Battlement you
have to click Warzone instead this game was robbed of its identity a perfectly good game on its its
own with tons of potential completely squandered as opposed to supporting and focusing on improving
the existing game it got lukewarm updates in DLC while Warzone got the main stage and ironically
enough Warzone also had to suffer through a lot of problems and challenges over the last couple
of years the weird obsession with trying to cram the latest Cod games is weapons into
Warzone ultimately became the breaking point for every game involved and especially Modern Warfare
Modern Warfare is apparently officially dead I really did not think I'd end up releasing a video
titled Modern Warfare is dead and unplayable but it happened shortly after the Vanguard and Warzone
integration this was sadly a driving factor in my decision to finally make this video it was one
thing for Warzone to be a leech that feeds off the success and hype that Modern Warfare 2019 started
with but it went too far when it destroyed the game and even though most of if not all of these
issues have been fixed since then thank God at that time Modern Warfare experienced a myriad
of issues after the latest integration weird audio issues throughout the entire match lag and
stuttering broken menus and UI killstreak's not working specialist not working Xbox and PC players
being locked out of spec ops survival mode the list goes on it just doesn't make sense to me that
Warzone needs to be this obese succubus that keeps feeding off of the newest COD game why not just
make unique content for Warzone that is separate from the other Cod games that would give exclusive
war zone players even more to look forward to and it would keep the other games intact initially the
notion of weapon integration sounded interesting but after seeing how they actually turned out I
would rather just see them add new unique war zone only guns into the game it seems like
that would have been a lot easier to do as well since the guns that are balanced for Cold War
and Vanguard multiplayer usually end up having to be rebalanced for Warzone making for inconsistent
feeling weapons across the board but that's enough suggesting good ideas for one video it's high time
we say goodbye to Modern Warfare 2019. another Call of Duty game in the pile of cod games with
squandered potential but who knows maybe if we get Modern Warfare 2 as Call of Duty 2022 it won't
turn out to be another CoD game that's solely created to pump more new content into Warzone too
doubt it normally I would close the video with showing my favorite moments from playing Modern
Warfare over the last year or in this case the last three years but I simply took too long to
make this video and I do apologize I didn't get to give Modern Warfare 2019 a proper send-off
and while that's mostly because we moved during the end of the game's life cycle and I literally
had no time to make this video I also didn't want to say goodbye to this game I truly felt
that Modern Warfare was a special game much like how I feel about the original Modern Warfare the
quality and Care put into this game initially is what had me hooked and even though I know for a
fact that there are people who still play Modern Warfare over Cold War and Vanguard it's time to
move on to the next chapter Modern Warfare 2 the game that will look back at the previous mistakes
and complaints from Modern Warfare and fix it all we're talking about no skill based matchmaking no
camping no cheap BS and Close Quarters fast-paced maps that don't rhyme with nip pinch wait
oh no don't tell me they're not going to listen to the community that's just some shocking news
isn't it okay okay I know I'm just poking fun but I really shouldn't be too overly critical yet just
like every year for the last 10 plus years I'll buy the newest COD game give it a try realize it's
not what my teenage years has caught experience was like and I'll either stick with the game
because there's nothing better to play or I'll stick to Warzone too because I hate myself and I
truly love the idea of torturing myself in video game form sound like a plan sweets but for real
after mostly enjoying what modern warfare 2019 had to offer I'm excited for Modern Warfare 2. I can't
say for sure if this game will vastly improve or innovate from the previous Modern Warfare but if
you liked Modern Warfare 2019 you'll most likely like this game and I had a lot of fun playing
the Modern Warfare 2 Beta and I wanted to see this game succeed and be good I once Cod games
to simply just be fun so we can all relax and have fun playing a good Call of Duty game again
thank you all for listening and continuing to support me and my content regardless of
how Cod has changed over the years I will always be passionate about Call of Duty and do my best
to make the best possible videos for you guys you guys are the whole reason I do this in the
first place you're the [ __ ] best and I love you all so much and regardless of whether or
