it's very hard
black ops cold war is boring now before i go in and basically annihilate this game i want
to preface this video by saying the whole reason i'm making this video is because last night when
i was trying to grind my tack rifles because i'm going for dm ultra i almost fell asleep
while playing new town i'm not [ __ ] you guys i'm actually so bored of black ops cold war right now
that last night we played minecraft instead of this game i found this more entertaining
wow
look erik it's you stop see when you have chipotle
just in case you're new here and you don't know my story with call of duty hi my name is
gerald i've been playing call of duty since i was a fetus just kidding i have no idea why
i did that i have been playing call of duty since call of duty 4 and i've gone back and
played every game since and i play every new game extensively except infinite warfare but
even then i at least had two days played in multiplayer i have even more time played
now on cold war as far as it goes for the dm ultra camo grinds i'm currently at 6 out of 9.
that wasn't intentional but it's literally just where i'm at because of the double weapon xp
weekend i was grinding the tack rifles and i don't know what it is man just having to level up these
guns so much to be able to do the camo challenges that are so repetitive and samey it's just ugh
i'm pretty sure i'm close to breaking i mean maybe it is also because i still have my launchers to do
and some of the specials well not some all of them i i have to do the knife and i have to do the m-79
but putting the camo challenges aside i'm also level 321 what else is gonna prove i'm a nerd i
mean i'm 31 000 on the global rank for multiplayer that's not like super high but i've got over four
days played on this game's multiplayer i've played a lot granted i haven't played campaign yet and
i only do a little bit of zombies here and there but this rant i'm about to present to you really
doesn't have anything to do with those two modes this is all about multiplayer so i want to talk
about why black ops cold war is so boring while playing the same old nuketown and leveling up
the groza because just in case i want to get gold diamond and dm ultra for this thing later down the
road i at least want to have all of my attachments unlocked but with that being said let's talk about
why black ops cold war is boring now honestly i should have saved a rant like this for when i was
done with dm ultra because i feel like that's when my sanity will truly be gone i feel like i'm only
partially losing my mind because i still have more [ __ ] to do um what i mean this is also invisible
people like this game has also just got so many weird bugs and glitches man but we'll get to that
later in the video so right now in cold war i'm pretty sure everyone's biggest complaint with the
multiplayer is skill-based matchmaking it comes up all the time everyone's talking about skill-based
matchmaking and how it's just completely unfair you're always playing against nerds basically
you know like black ops cold war it's so campy it's so sweaty the typical usual complaint but
the thing is that skill based matchmaking works differently in black ops cold war than it did in
modern warfare skill-based matchmaking seems to kind of flip-flop in this game one game you're
playing against six cdl skins that are all camping and locking down the lanes on nuketown and then
the game right after that you're playing against people who can barely even aim but if you do well
in that lobby you're immediately playing against the cdl nerds again does this sound familiar at
all it does to me because this is every [ __ ] day with this game but to be fair this on its
own is really not that bad we didn't even take b wow but as i was saying this part of skill-based
matchmaking on its own is really not that bad because you were at least guaranteed to play
a good game after a bad game because basically the skill based matchmaking algorithm wants to
keep you playing so if you play against better players and you don't do well they want you to
have the next game actually be enjoyable and if your next game is not enjoyable the skill
just keeps going down until you're like at that sweet spot but don't do too good because if you
do then you're going to go right back up now you're probably thinking it would be ideal if
every single game i played was enjoyable right but no that is not the reality with this game
that was nasty but yeah that's just not the case with black ops cold war you're gonna be playing
some bad games pretty regularly so ultimately i've been finding myself wanting more of a break from
playing this game's multiplayer the multiplayer isn't completely bad but it definitely gets a
little stale especially when the only really good map to play is nuketown especially when
you're doing your camo challenges so every so often when we're playing multiplayer we like to
break it up by doing some zombies or minecraft but what's also been happening is that playing
the same zombies map has been getting boring i know that firebase z is gonna be coming out
and that'll give us an extra zombies map to play you know so that will be pretty interesting but
what's actually been bothering me recently and it's the reason why i've been finding this game
boring is because there's not something more casual and fun to play for multiplayer i feel
like i've talked about this in decent life before in past call of duty games where we need to have
party games at launch isn't it pretty annoying to think that back in black ops 1 the first black
ops game you could play wager matches you could have these fun party games you could play these
fun party games like gun game one in the chamber sharpshooter and they weren't seasonal game modes
either you could play them any time you wanted to and in black ops 1 they were even more fun
because you would actually wager your cod points not like today's cod points but the currency
you used to unlock camos and they had varying degrees of the wager matches because you could
do high roller you could do what the [ __ ] you could do high roller which is the really intense
[ __ ] where you had to wager up a lot of cod points or you could do like the really pleby one
which where you'd only wager like what 30 cod points i forgot the name of it too
but yeah it's pretty disappointing that we don't have this in black ops cold war and we haven't
had party games in a lot of the recent call of duty games every so often we'll get gun game
for like a week and then they'll take it out and then like two weeks later you get something else
it's just really stupid that they keep doing this and it's literally a worse system than
what we've had before and i don't know if this is just my stupid ass opinion but i don't think prop
hunt's very fun in this game but i'm gonna touch more on that when we actually get into the mode
oh god this thing's so good
let's go more come on
come back stop free firing me come oh [ __ ] that was a nasty streak let's go i really don't want to
come across as like a complete hater of this game because i do enjoy it i like smackeroning people
like that good god what are you even trying to do and i am going to grind all the way to get dm
ultra and i think once that happens and i'm done with that i'm going to throw in the towel and just
played 120 field of view for the rest of my life but all i'm really asking is for treyarch to just
have some more fun [ __ ] to do like more often in the game what a [ __ ] scrub couldn't even get
80 kills that was actually a really good game 79 to 38 using the groza thing is so stupidly good
i mean you barely have to aim it in hardcore all right let's go do some prop hunt i'm gonna dive
specifically into why prop hunt is not as good as previous iterations of it which is really
just kind of the key point of this rant if you're gonna have a video game that
has really strong skill-based matchmaking and it's gonna be more competitive and more try-hard
we need something to offset that there 100 has to be something more casual and more fun
less skill-based matchmaking involved to play in this game at least if you want people to
keep playing the game and have this game be successful it is what it is if this game is
going to have strong skill-based matchmaking and be a really sweaty game there has to be something
more fun to play like prop hunt but treyarch has somehow managed to make prop hunt less
fun than it was in black ops 4. which to me is crazy because you guys know i don't like black
ops 4. i legitimately think black ops 4 was one of the most boring games we've had i did play
it i gave it a fair chance but ultimately over the year i just don't think it was that good
now my current beef with prop hunt in black ops cold war specifically is that it's too easy to
hunt the props when the hunters throw concussion grenades it actually slows your movement down
versus flashbangs in previous versions of prop hunt they also get to recharge those concussion
grenades at a pretty fast rate so they have a lot of them and we absolutely cannot neglect the fact
that since skill-based matchmaking is in this game it could be affecting prop hunt 2. there's
just not enough transparency we don't know if it's possible to play against sweaty nerds on prop hunt
or if the matchmaking is just completely random or if it's connection based the most fun part
about prop hunt for me in the past with call of duty games was being able to juke out like three
four or five people and go on like these long streaks of surviving for like a minute being
the last prop alive and somehow surviving against large groups of people purely based off of your
ability to you know weave and yeah you can't even do that in this game if i'm not mistaken too they
also changed the way health regeneration works like at first the props had health regen but now
they don't have any it would be nice to at least have slow health regen so that way you can come
back and have a chance this particular version of prop hunt the way it's balanced right now
is just spoon feeding it for the hunters i don't know if i'm just being too critical or being too
opinionated but i personally just feel like prop hunt is supposed to be in favor of the props being
good at prop hunt as a prop that's hiding is a lot more difficult than hunting wow good job
right here i know you're right here come on all right last year's got a minute and 45 to survive
and he's dead there you go i don't know if you guys could tell but even for this particular round
the props just had no chance the dude didn't even have a chance to at least try to drop
and then evade it let's see how i can do i'm getting nothing but [ __ ] okay well
there we go i'm not necessarily going to try to hide too much i just want to do my best to
try to weave in and out and dodge people see they're coming in okay let's see how we can do
he's got the concussion already knows i'm here i can't really move too much
[ __ ] okay we got two people we got two people here oh [ __ ] see i can't move i mean look how
fast he's not even aiming dude what the [ __ ] is this guy doing i also wish as the props you
could see your exact health amount not just like this slight bar this doesn't give you
enough information as to whether or not you're a prop that can survive a lot of shots or if
you're gonna get you know instantly killed wow what a great spot i gotta give props to our team
because we actually have four people alive with the same amount of time left our team's definitely
doing a better job of hiding but these are such terrible spots though maybe this is why they
make the hunting so easy because there's people like this well let's see if they're gonna be able
to escape they got three people on him right now if he gets hit with a concussion it's over
wow okay i don't even know how this guy's alive
right now hit him with a concussion you know it once he's hit it's over
okay this is actually really impressive oh he's hit he's hit what the nerve to just sit there
okay now he's dead holy [ __ ] that was a pretty good run this person is somehow still blending
in here and we still have the ladder just going around everywhere okay our team is just superior
i can't believe we actually won this round you got to be [ __ ] me probably not the best example game
to show you guys but i feel like prop pun still needs some tweaking it is really not that hard
to hunt down the props especially if you have a coordinated team i feel like with the way prop
hunt's currently balanced if you have a full squad it is impossible to survive as props because it
might not seem too bad if one or two concussion grenades get thrown out of prop and then they get
killed but what if you have six you're not gonna survive but regardless of my specific beefs with
this current build of prop hunt i still want to see party games come back i do think it's
good that black ops cold war has variety between 6v6 and having some larger team game modes along
with face-off now but honestly i still find myself mostly just playing 6v6 i don't really play face
off at all i might occasionally do some of the larger team games especially if i'm doing camo
challenges but for the most part it's 6v6 and not too much else it is just my opinion but i
would like to see party games custom servers and custom mods come into these games in the future
because it adds so much more replay value it's so much more fun than what we currently have in the
game and ultimately it's been done before in past call of duty games so why can't we have it now
i know this is probably asking a lot coming from a game that still has the gung-ho glitch not even
fixed amongst a ton of other weird [ __ ] that happens in the game but please just try to take
some of this stuff into consideration because it would make these games a lot more enjoyable we can
rant and talk [ __ ] about skill-based matchmaking all day but ultimately it's activision's decision
and it's most likely not going anywhere so if we can't just outright get rid of skill-based
matchmaking or pull back on it at least give us something more fun to play package above
let me shoot it down i need it i need this i need this i need this don't anyone [ __ ]
[ __ ] fight me [ __ ] fight me cdl skate i know i knew it i literally went from a game
that only had bass skins to now cdl skins campers don't don't don't do it why why you [ __ ] idiots
i don't think so cdl skin oh i really don't think so let's play quad more
i gotta work oh i know where all you [ __ ] are now
oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah camera drop a nuke on him
your boy's gonna nuke wow we're actually catching back up uh we're counter now it's all over my
dreams are dead i had one shot left why did i sound like such a braid in there i only had one
chocolate to my knee pal galungus but again the overall message for this video is to have fun
with black ops cold war and i really do hope that in the future we can have some more fun game modes
and some other fun and casual things to offset how sweaty these games can be and with that being said
thank you guys very much for watching i really do hope you guys enjoyed this little black ops cold
war video if you guys did enjoy this video and you want black ops cold war to be more fun make sure
to drop a like i'll see you guys later i don't need it i don't need it i don't i don't need to
die
ah
