what's up guys this is M3RKMUS1C and welcome to modern warfare 2 13 years later oh there's
so much time pass dude oh my god wait i need the disc remember when we used to use discs
i barely do i don't know if i've told this story before but growing up and stuff like
we would move the xbox 360 around while the game was still spinning so we had to buy
modern warfare 2 at least like two or three times because it would get this perfect circle scratch
anytime you move the 360 while the game's like actually going i don't know if you'll be able
to see it on camera but this disc actually has it can you guys see that perfect circle scratch
all you can see is probably the camera even though this disc is basically ruined the
workaround for this is to get a working modern warfare 2 disc and install it to your xbox 360.
that way even if your disc is scratched you can still play the game it's chipped in the
middle too there's literally a chip i really don't think this thing's gonna last much longer
everyone says the ps4 sounds like a jet engine what is that broken down pick em up truck but
yeah if you guys are excited to see modern warfare 2 13 years later make sure to drop a like let's
see if we can break 10,000 likes auto warfare 2 is so iconic man you press the start button and
then you see the campaign spec ops and multiplayer obviously i've got all of it completed because i'm
a complete nerd you might be surprised to hear that i'm actually playing on the xbox 360 today
i'm not playing on that xbox one like backwards compatible i'm not doing the pc mods like iw4x
this is basically as og as it gets we're on the xbox 360 and that's partially because i think the
last time i tried to do multiplayer like doing modern warfare 2 backwards compatibility on the
xbox one the multiplayer does not work i have no idea how that problem is going to be fixed
maybe once microsoft acquires activision they can look into it more fetching playlists oh please
tell me i still have everything i do get a little nervous playing older call of duty games because
you never know if people like wipe your stats or do stupid [ __ ] fine match how many people are
on oh that's reassuring the whole reason i get back on the older platforms when i can and when
it's possible is because you know if i just load up modern warfare 2 iw4x mod on pc i'll be able to
find lobbies i can pick and choose whatever i want to and that's fine but i need to see if i can play
just regular team deathmatch man on the xbox 360 i don't know if it's actually possible and i've
done everything in my power to make sure that i can match make to basically any lobby i've got an
open nat type i've hardwired my xbox 360. i don't know if having the dlc installed or uninstalled
might improve the matchmaking but i mean i should be able to find a game hopefully unless of course
the matchmaking is just fully broken i mean that would suck i really hope that's not the
case hopefully we can find a game right now i'm looking for team deathmatch so i mean i should
be able to find something as far as it goes for doing throwback call of duty stuff i think it goes
without saying as to why i picked modern warfare 2 you know there's news that this year's next call
of duty game is going to be a modern warfare 2 game it's going to be like a reboot similar to
modern warfare 2019 i even happened to see some stuff about how we might be getting call of duty
earlier this year depending on how things go with the microsoft like takeover so yeah i thought it'd
be a great idea to get on modern warfare 2 but now i'm not too sure i mean like no one's on i'm
getting worried man while we're waiting to find a game i'm gonna do a quick little shameless plug
apparently there's only like 600 merc music shaker cups left so if you want to get one i'll have a
link in the description and if you use code merc it's currently 30 off get it before it's gone just
like modern warfare 2 in 2022 play the game before it is unplayable honestly one of the most surreal
moments about playing the older call due to games is that i remember back then like i would go back
even when modern warfare 2 was out i would go back and play call of duty 4 i'd play world of war and
really there was no problem with trying to find games on cod 4 in world of war even when modern
warfare 2 was like the brand new call of duty game and everyone loved it i genuinely missed the
ability to go back and play the older call of duty games and actually find lobbies and right now as
i'm recording this video i've done everything in my power everything possible to make it as easy as
i can to find a match in 2022. honestly i didn't necessarily do that in the past i did it like
on xbox one using backwards compatibility i was playing on wi-fi it didn't have an opennet type
today i said [ __ ] it i was gonna do everything possible to actually find a game and there's just
no one playing and i'm pretty sure i mentioned this in one of the recent throwback black ops
three videos i did i could just tweet out and let people know like when i'm on and when we can
all look for games and stuff and like i said in that video i don't want to artificially inflate
the population of these games quite yet i want to see what they're like because if i just tweet out
when we're going to be getting on modern warfare 2 and everyone fills up the servers then people
are going to be thinking that the game is actually alive when it's actually dead it's like some false
advertising or some [ __ ] i don't want to do that i don't want people to come to this video
and think that modern warfare 2 in 2022 is booming and alive when it's actually not i don't know if i
need to try matchmaking again maybe we can go for free for all maybe people are doing free for all
no tdm i highly doubt it i think the matchmaking might actually just be broken we need to find
three more players finding games with less than 50 ping of course you are all things considered
this game is 13 years old it's a it's one year older than a brayden but i think the player
count has truly slouched everyone's playing the superior call due to game vanguard just kidding
but i mean i i really have no idea why there's no one playing modern warfare 2 like this is one of
those games where people just continuously play it no matter what they don't give a [ __ ] about
any other call of duty game that's out they will just still be on here either noob tubing going for
nukes what happened to those people are they gone i'm trying to look for ground war now oh
is it actually dead are we pressing f to pay respects i really hope not many months later
it doesn't even recognize it as modern warfare 2 but yeah i find the modern warfare 2 dlc game
details i gotta clear the dlc or something oh here we go extras okay we've got the stimulus
package and resurgence package installed i need to get rid of that download again
i already have it installed oh wait maybe i don't sure let's download it okay so when i
was trying to match make i guess i didn't have the dlc installed yet so we're getting stimulus
package we'll get the resurgence pack download it again this should be going by so much faster
how to just go from one to zero percent oh no oh wait oh it's not it's done already okay cool
all right the dlc is done please work let's play the game if my xbox can even read it
sorry guys i'm just sending a fax i don't think it actually read the game yeah i mean
this happens to me sometimes i might need to actually buy another game i think it froze
on me please tell me it didn't crash oh god i've been recording for 20 minutes and haven't
played one game yet as you can see here eric is patiently waiting for his xbox 360 to respond
but i'm pretty sure it's on life support and almost about to die eric is going completely
mad trying to play modern warfare 2 but that's okay because it's his favorite minecraft game
if i get a red ring of death in 2022 i'm gonna go [ __ ] ballistic work i actually just hit
the console i don't know if it's gonna live or not but it stopped making a certain noise that
might be good or bad trying some magical tapping techniques to see if it will revive the console
sounds worse now it sounds like it's farting i'm gonna have to restart this recording and try again
all right i just rebooted my fax machine hopefully we can play modern warfare 2 now and not have the
console die that'd be swell retro gaming at its finest barely anything works we're actually on
the modern warfare 2 hopefully we can get multiplayer working now that we have both
dlc packs at this point i really don't know if having them or not having them is going to
help but now i've got them i just want to play tdm on this game one more time i don't want to
have to sit here and record this video and tell you guys that modern warfare 2 is dead
in 2022 there has to be some kind of beacon of hope there's got to be at least one game out there
yes it's just one match player but it's favela tdm that's not too bad i don't know if i should
sit in here and wait for this lobby to fill up or if this is going to be it it really is hard to
tell what people are actually playing on modern warfare 2 because the player count on the game
internally got like broken so you can't see the online player count you can't see what playlist
people are actually playing it's just like the newer quality games missing important features
okay so there's something i actually remember about modern warfare 2 which is just crazy when
faze clan was first blowing up and they were doing trick shots and search and destroy it was the
first and only time in call of duty history that there were more people playing search and destroy
than team deathmatch regardless of whether or not you like tdm it is always the most played game
mode in every call of duty game but not in modern warfare 2 search and destroy actually had more
players at one point than team deathmatch that's just crazy i don't know why but whenever you go
back to modern warfare 2 when it's the third time that you're trying to look for a game mode the
matchmaking just breaks entirely it just does this where it stuck finding games under 50 ping
you have to be signed into pl i have been signed in for the last half hour god my ears so itchy
dude wearing this beanie makes me so itchy i don't know how i recorded with this for so long
making me itchy as [ __ ] i think wearing this beanie is actually a contributing factor to me
going insane when recording videos it makes me so much more irritated like so much more irritable
i still wear it though because i'm an idiot i think an alternate title for this video would
be insane man looks for modern warfare 2 multiplayer games for over an hour
holy [ __ ] okay so i don't think there's anything for search and destroy right now
either i could try groundwater again multiplayer not working this has been a problem since 2018
redownload your profile from the xbox 360 menu wait what can i just copy it to the hard drive
my save game data is in sync i've got my profile everything's fine don't say it's unreadable
my xbox won't stop farting either like oh my the disc is in here open sesame
well i've done all i can do i think it might actually work i'm scared to delete my original
xbox 360 profile and then like re-download it from the cloud because you never know what might happen
do i really want to risk not being able to play all the other games i have just for one game i
mean it is modern warfare 2 but shit's risky man i don't i don't want to do that it would be nice
if it just worked you know just go just find a match i was able to match make and find one other
person i mean that might just be all that there is on this game the post i saw on reddit about
redownloading your profile that was from like four years ago when there might have actually been more
people playing but we're in 2022 game is 13 years old i mean the multiplayer might actually just be
dead you know i'm gonna do something else i'm sorry guys but i'm gonna officially declare the
multiplayer on modern warfare 2 in 2022 as dead this isn't right this is how it's been
every single time i've tried to get back on modern warfare 2 and play it the only way i
can actually find and play multiplayer games is if i play iw4x on pc but not the original
this [ __ ] is gone it's painful to say so i hate saying [ __ ] like this i do apologize
for not having any multiplayer i mean i can always get back on iw4x if you guys want to
see that but unless we artificially inflate the multiplayer i would say that modern warfare 2
is basically dead but you never know we could get a modern warfare 2 reboot this year or we
could get modern warfare 2 multiplayer remastered but if you want to play the og it's not worth it
it's not going to happen we're gonna do some solo spec up spec ops was the [ __ ] dude got all 69
stars beating infinity ward's time was so hard for this we're doing on veteran just like mario kart
i think i don't know if i got the boost the music that plays too is so intense
oh that's right oh you have to get the you got to get the flags no i'm screwed
i'm so bad at this already i already failed i'm not doing this one no it's just called race that's
right i don't know why i thought it'd be a good idea to start with veteran time trial i missed the
boost you have to actually get it right on the dot it's not like mario kart where you get it in two
seconds but yeah here we go i will beat infinity wars time i am better to the finish line we go
i don't remember if you have to go risky and just like go right up the middle there's a certain spot
you should fail we'll get him next time
oh i got the quick start let's go oh this is the one i've got this pattern memorized
let's do this let's do this i'm not ready to do this i've been sitting around trying
to play multiplayer the whole time and my brain is fried i swear right into the tree oh my god
what why am i so [ __ ] at this god damn oh i just ran that guy over somehow neat
stop hitting the [ __ ] trees dude i can't see i'm not doing this i'm not doing it
i've gone insane i'm just going to do the first thing we're going to do the pit
looking amazing so far
can climb you idiot get the quiet i remember that boom boom oh that was terrible this is so garbage
what he's right there get the clap then go
three stars i got it oh my god 30.9 seconds not bad what's uh my rec my best time is 22.
what oh no [ __ ] that was so bad it might be better no it's 32 stars you can't hit civilians
nope nope i missed the first shot
i'm getting so unlucky with all the rng oh
go that's fast that was better 27 seconds how did i get 22 get the class for the [ __ ]
i'm going to lose my mind trying to do this
he like pops up but the aim assistant no
oh that was beautiful still too slow now
oh i can't do it i can't i think i just figured it out that's how i have to do this
the time just appeared i got 26 oh my that's my best one so far
how did i get the collet oh my god oh my gosh i got a piece of wood
oh god
let's go
oh my god oh that is not bad that was decent 24. i got so lucky with the rng
but that's still not fast enough man how did i do these other ones like
that speed running this one on veteran is not fun to try to dodge them for as
long as you can but the second they see you it's over oh god like right here
[ __ ] oh my god nope it's over there's no way there's no way
you [ __ ]
i was so close i think i'm gonna have to call it there before i completely lose my
mind so thank you guys very much for watching i hope you guys enjoyed watching me kind of
play modern warfare 2 13 years later sadly the multiplayer is dead on xbox 360 and xbox one i
could play it on pc though so if you guys would like to see me play that or just do
some more throwback call of duty stuff make sure to drop a like i'll see you guys later
to play
