What's up guys this is M3RKMUS1C and welcome to Call of Duty 4 16
years later how in the name of boost is this game 16 years old man I gotta
put the disc in that's right guys we're playing it on the original Xbox 360 today
oh my goodness to be fair I am being a little facetious here by trying to play it on the Xbox
360 because I'm pretty sure that we will not be able to find any games online but first and
foremost the reason why I'm going all the way back to a 16 year old game is because I love this game
this is my all-time favorite call to the game period 50 000 people used to live here come on
one of the best cold he means and it's unfortunately kind of affected this game
in a really bad way I almost completely forgotten like the old Call of Duty games that you have to
switch from the main menu to the multiplayer menu because they're actually different exes as Call
of Duty players we kind of learned that around the time of Black Ops 3 because they turned it
all into one big exe so that way you didn't have to like wait to switch through the menus
and stuff but yeah I'm back on Call of Duty 4 for basically two reasons the first reason being that
I absolutely love this game and the second reason being that the multiplayer is not going to work at
all on the Xbox 360. and I'm pretty sure I might have to unfortunately title this video rip Cod
4 on the Xbox 360. just like I had to do with Black Ops 3 on the Xbox 360 because you can't
find matches if we go to look online it says yeah it always says this 3309 total players online that
is outdated it's wrong it's not even true if I go to find a team deathmatch I don't think I'll
be able to find a game and just so you guys know I'm playing during peak hours I'm pretty sure I
won't be able to find a game I'm literally just sitting here by myself yep we got an empty Team
Deathmatch Backlot Lobby if you can't find a TDM on a Call of Duty game in 2023 then it's probably
just not active that or the matchmaking is just straight up broken like it is for most of the
Call of Duty games on the Xbox 360. I know it works for the PS3 at least from what you guys
have said but typically nowadays the only way to find a multiplayer game on the old Call of
Duty games on the Xbox 360 is you have to join a community Discord and you have to add each
other as friends and then message each other and someone looks for a game but then the matchmaking
won't even work so then you just invite people in and fill up lobbies that way that's terrible
Activision and Microsoft have done nothing to fix the matchmaking for the old Call of Duty games and
Microsoft wants to acquire Activision this is a joke fix your game now I know most of us probably
haven't done this but if you actually own a fiscal copy of Call of Duty if you look at the fine print
on the back of the game you're gonna see a very disturbing message basically every Call of Duty
game has this fine print that says Activision makes no guarantees regarding the availability
of online play and they withdraw online service in its discretion without notice now there are
different forms of this message on different games I've got Modern Warfare 3 here and it continues
that statement by saying including for example ceasing online service for economic reasons
due to a limited number of players continuing to make use of the service over time but this
doesn't really make any sense because they haven't discontinued the servers the servers are still
here the matchmaking systems are just broken and that's kind of why I'm making this video as well
for the time being we're just going to switch on over and play some of the amazing Call of
Duty 4 campaign one of the best Cod campaigns ever let's go to all Guild up absolute classic
oh my god dude The Nostalgia just from The Sounds it's just a lieutenant back then doing some white
work all right yeah you know we're gonna play the classic I'll give it up probably the best
Call of Duty mission of all time from literally any campaign but yeah guys another big reason why
I'm back on this game is because of Activision shutting down x-labs sm2 and subsequently the
boy clients as well plutonium could be next and if it really is gone then we're really screwed
I'm back on Call of Duty 4 to remind me of why I love Call of Duty I mean it's because of this game
how did I miss that foreign Xbox 360 bro ain't no way I'm getting through this without alerting
everyone but yeah I wanted to get back on Call of Duty 4 because this is my roots with Call
of Duty this game is the reason I fell in love with the Call of Duty franchise thankfully they
had the decency to remaster the entirety of this game unlike Modern Warfare 2. hey guys maybe you
should give us Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer remastered that would be some amazing damage
control wouldn't it which by the way if you guys do enjoy this video and you want to see some more
of the OG Call of Duty games make sure to drop a like subscribe if you're new I think as far as it
goes for YouTube's sake I don't know if I really see myself wanting to play and post more Modern
Warfare 2 in war zone 2. I don't necessarily fully agree with the idea of boycotting Call
of Duty because there's still a lot of games that I really like and love to play but you guys
already know I don't buy the bundles in Modern Warfare 2 I'm not going to support that system
I absolutely will go back and try to repopulate the older Call of Duty games and try to bring more
attention to that and I absolutely think it would be a lot of fun to Branch out to some other games
and try some different types of content and stuff but if there's any potential that Activision took
down these older Call of Duty clients for the sake of trying to bring people back to Modern
Warfare 2. no I don't want to be a part of that I think that's terrible we paid for these older
Call of Duty games I mean at least most of us we put in hundreds of hours if not days playing
these older Call of Duty games you can't take that away from us no matter what it says on the back of
your stupid box because guess what Activision even if you try to stop us there's going to
be a new client someone's gonna do something and they're gonna bring it back better than ever baby
they're gonna be in full compliance they're not gonna break any rules and we'll still be
able to enjoy and play these old games so no matter how hard you try to bury the past we
will still play these games we will still relive The Nostalgia we will still play and enjoy the
better Call of Duty games we are the resistance okay we're not taking it that far but look man I
love you guys your support is the reason why I keep on going while I'm still doing this
he teleported the man teleported he's in Last Stand
I want to know what group of three people were just randomly drinking this rancid water over
here at the table while watching a broken TV get him McMillan oh my God what are you
doing he glitched out he glitched out bro you're going the wrong way
even though this is just a Cod 4 campaign I'm gonna have way more fun playing this than Modern
Warfare 2 that's for sure then again anything is better than Modern Warfare 2 or war zone two I
could watch paint dried I'll have more fun I know saying that's a little bit hypocritical because
I actually have been streaming Modern Warfare 2 ranked play on Twitch because I actually do enjoy
that which by the way man I've only been streaming consistently for about three weeks now but thanks
to Absolute Legends we're already a third of the way to a thousand Subs on Twitch that is absolute
Madness man I was also talking about this on Twitch but I'll bring it up again there has
been that part of me that's been wanting to get on plutonium and try to play and enjoy that and
record that before it eventually gets shut down because I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen even if
Activision isn't fully within their legal right to take it down they probably will do it like
sure it's their IP they have the rights to Call of Duty but at the same time plutonium is not really
breaking any of those rules but legitimately I cannot currently bring myself to want to get
back on these clients and try to play them even if you still can this [ __ ] has just been bumming me
out way too much and I just I can't bring myself to do it I can however get back on the best Call
of Duty game ever made and expose the fact that you can't even play multiplayer on it anymore you
can still have an app blast playing the campaign and enjoying that but you can't play multiplayer
if you want to play Call of Duty 4 multiplayer you have to get on PC you have to get the Cod 4X mod
which yo if they shut that down oh my goodness I'm pretty sure if they do that I will just
legitimately explode like I'm just gonna die on the spot there was that part of me that was hoping
I'd be able to find some kind of multiplayer match on COD 4 in 2023 on the Xbox 360 but that's
basically a pipe dream but I do know for a fact that if you have Cod 4X on PC you will still find
servers and you can play matches in 2023 and while there is a pretty good chance that most of those
lobbies will be filled with Bots you will find actual people too it's actually insane to think
that back in 2007 they made the most legendary stealth mission of all time and they can't even
get remotely close to topping this it's been nothing but downhill since then I mean they've
had some decent self missions but nothing beats this the pacing the creepiness of the atmosphere
the flexibility to choose how you actually want to play the mission you can be 100 stealthy and
actually earn an achievement for doing so but if you want to just shoot everyone you can do that
too at least in most scenarios I think I actually had an entire video dedicated to trying to do that
on Modern Warfare remastered let's just say that it did not go well man Even though Call of Duty 4
is basically dead on the Xbox 360 we can still play multiplayer on PC dank transition to PC
guys we're on Call of Duty 4 on PC let's see what we can find we have Internet Cod 4X so
we're actually able to find servers we can find matches which by the way big thanks to the people
who made the Cod 4X mod take you to the amazing Call of Duty Community the players the people who
are actually passionate and love the game thank you for making this possible without these people
we would be in shambles we'd be screwed pretty sure we got like a 38 player game of TDM on kill
house right now this is going to be pretty uh slow paced I'm sure let's see how this is gonna go I've
got no idea we got spawn protection this might be hardcore I don't know now I did reinstall this
game on the new pc so I don't have any leveling because it's all saved locally to your computer
and I didn't transfer my profile or anything like that so I really don't have much of anything set
up on here other than like my settings and I've played a little bit but oh he got a quad name
oh got a ball right there what's up ah give me the AK no Lads we have the predator missile that's
right there's custom kill streaks on COD 4X look at that oh we got a triple predator missile dude
that's so awesome you know even after all the terrible news about x-labs and boy and sm2 and
stuff like that one thing I have been trying to bring into the conversation now that I've
kind of calmed down more is the fact that these people should just straight up be getting jobs
they should be getting hired I really wish that Activision would take a better stance
on this and actually try to work with these devs who have been basically keeping these
games alive for years as a prominent person in the Call of Duty Community not but seriously
I have the ability to voice my concerns and I can say and do what I want to and I know I've
been seeing some stuff in the community about boycotting Activision and Call of Duty and that
leans more into the negative Direction but I would rather use my platform to try to boost
up these people to devs the people who have worked so hard on these projects let's show
them some more love let's show the old Call of Duty game some love how about that me personally
I would much rather bring positivity to where I think it deserves it versus just trying to bring
negativity to things that I think don't deserve it that's not to say that I'm gonna stop criticizing
the stupid [ __ ] that they do over there with the new Call of Duty games and stuff but I'm
trying to get into a better headspace man and I can't can't do that if I'm just gonna keep you
know like focusing on all these bad things the negativity it's gonna eat me alive bro
much like this person who's not paying attention oh my I hope you guys can see where I'm coming
from with all this like I've never wanted Call of Duty to die and I still don't I want it to
get better I wanted to improve this is one of the largest gaming communities but it's so fractured
because they've done so many different things and made so many bad decisions and bad changes oh my
God what was that let's see what else we got we got so many servers man I gotta actually make a
class though let's use the P90 most likely gonna play hardcore so we could just use sleight of hand
I'm not exactly sure why it's the case but a lot of these Cod 4 servers are just hardcore
for whatever reason not a post to it I'm just letting you guys know you got some shipment
yeah I thought the flashbangs were bad on Modern Warfare 2 holy they is strong on here
[Laughter] [Applause]
oh my oh oh it just keeps going we got the artillery again
oh look at it coming in look at that oh
keep going oh my god dude that's insane I love the custom kill tricks on This Server oh my God
now just so we're clear this is against bots doesn't stop the fact that I'm having fun okay
let's find this over with actual people let's see if I can play this Crossfire server see we got a
bunch of people look at the pings it's real there are some Bots mixed in but it's mostly people
getting lots of like weird server lag though 100 ping gross someone
got an AC-130 that's the AC-130 in this game yo it's a veto look at him go right
because there's nothing else in the sky that that's the AC-130 in this game that is crazy
I thought I died what in the get in there let's get back here oh
it's lagging it's lagging oh my lordness blardness oh my God
yeah you saw you could camp back here little wimp come on what are we doing
oh
glad we have them in the spawn oh we were on a 10. let's call it in we got an actual Predator oh my
get him oh we got a double too this Lobby is actually great like I don't
really like Crossfire all that much but it's playing out pretty well
come on get it going let's get back out there come on
it was getting too crazy we got another predator missile wow where are they going where are we
going where are we going look at that oh my God the Precision that is the most precise predator
missile I've ever seen in a Cod game literally this community can make a better predator missile
than they can oh also apparently if you have the M21 ACOG you get unlimited sprinting Cod
4. I never knew that there were always really interesting quirks like that on Call of Duty 4
with the attachments like if you put an ACOG sight on the M40 you get more damage like the gun will
literally just do more damage just for putting an Acog scope on it but it's not like that for
every gun in the game you know what I mean like if you put an ACOG sight on an lmg it's not going
to make it stronger at least I think there's other attachment combos like that in the game
as well it's just crazy this guy's alive wow I stomped on his head like a Goomba holy [ __ ]
oh no
oh my
bro what
dab of Flash oh my wait we're still alive no we're not
oh my God that is the most insane screen Shake I think I've ever seen in the video game when
that custom predator missile hits the ground it's like 80 times worse than an earthquake
oh again why yeah man I think I got my fill of Call of Duty 4 for today so thank you guys
very much for watching I hope you guys enjoyed watching me play Call of Duty 4 16 years later
multiplayer is unfortunately dead on the Xbox 360 and I think it's actually been that way for
a while but it's not like Activision knows or cares so if you want to still play Call of Duty
4 multiplayer on PC in 2023 I would recommend looking up some tutorials on how to get Cod 4X
on PC I'm gonna continue to try to focus on the positive things the good things and improve my
mental States totally not gonna just binge eat Taco Bell and play Old Call of Duty games to try
to restore my happiness but yeah man I really do hope you guys enjoyed this video If you guys
did and you want to see some more OG called to do stuff make sure to drop a like see you guys later
