As a self-proclaimed survival mode veteran, the ''meta'' is generally to use two LMGs (the L86 LSW and MG36 for their fastest reload times) with red dot sights, grip and sleight of hand. Fun fact, Exteme conditioning as a perk is useless in survival because jumping completely resets your sprint timer, a mechanic that doesn't exist in multiplayer. Depending on the map, camping is generally the way to go. Funnel enemies through a choke point on simple waves and run circles around the map on juggernaut waves (if there's choppers, take care of those first). You can thin out the horde of enemies chasing you with flash bangs + air strikes and claymores. After wave 30 or so, the rotation of waves stays consistent (on most maps atleast).

fun fact about the Negotiator mission: if you're playing coop you and your partner won't spawn together in the same room. Your coop partner will be in the first breach you need to breach, and they're in a line of people being executed. So it's up to you to save your partner before they get killed. It's a neat detail which really makes that mission memorable imo

The man,the myth, the legend has returned.

This was an instant click the second I saw it, hopefully MW2(2022) has a better spec ops mode, so there’s a continuation of this series

The flinch this game gave in PvE modes still haunts me

Thank you for this S0ur. Ive only recently began watching your content but the dedication to do long videos like this prove that you're one of the very few content creators on this platform who really put effort and genuinity into what they create. We all love you bro. Hope you're stayin safe

This couldn’t have come at a more perfect time! I just finished watching the other 3 star vids!

I liked how Kill Switch featured the two TF141 dudes from the Makarov estate mission from MW2.

28:06 I have no idea why I found this so funny, maybe the combination of bots having a face off with the commentary just beautifully synced for a comedic moment for me☠️

So the saga is over. You do you, there’s a lot of us that enjoy the hell out of your content regardless of if you choose to play the next game or not. Remember, MCC is always on the table :)

Ghosts: Extinction when? 😉

2:50 switching is always faster than reloading. Nice👌, you must be a member of the 141 14:30 outstanding pistol swap👌 18:35 breach and clear with one bullet 26:55 shield 👍 30:45 pistol swap for juggernaut 🍺 48:38 secondary empty😅 59:45 no time to swap🙃

i’ve been waiting for this all my life

I don’t normally watch 1-2 hour play through but there’s something about your commentating and humor that just make it so entertaining to watch! Started watching you on the 3 star videos and I love them. Just got done watching the WAW campaign. Keep it up my man. I support you 100% all love here :)

I can’t believe it’s finally over. Somebody think of more stars for this man to earn please.

The long awaited sequel we’ve all been waiting for!

I feel like the protagonist, I watched the MW2 video like 2 weeks ago and the MW3 vid not long after, and now the MW3 DLC vid just came out?? Love it

Don't watch cod anymore but I still always tune in for sour, so gonna watch this tonight

I see that we’ve returned to the “3 stars on all mw spec ops missions.” Glad to see there was more!

What are the odds I happen to click on your MW2 Spec Ops mission, go to your channel, and see that you uploaded this less than 30 minutes ago? Lets go duuuuuude

If you're able to, I recommend giving some of these missions co-op. It changes the dynamic of a few of them almost entirely. As always, amazing content though.

Definitely never expected you'd play these, very happy to be wrong.

Hey man you're one of my favorite youtubers and if you end up deciding to stop uploading COD I get it. However if you start uploading something else I'll gladly watch those too. You constantly put out high quality content that I will be here for. I'm excited to see what you put out in the future.

I was literally watching the mw2 and mw3 spec Ops vids yesterday and wondering when you’d upload, I love u sour

The Glock in the snowmobile missions is basically just the smart pistol from titanfall which is especially funny when you realize that the same people made both games

Sour when I tell you I absolutely love ur vids I mean I’ve watched ur MW2 and MW3 spec ops vids so many times and now, this!? It’s like the perfect ending to the trilogy of getting all the 3 stars. Hope you’re doin great man thanks so much for what you do, a genuine person you are.

5:43 Oh the MW2's UMP sneaked into an obscure MW3 DLC Spec Ops Mission, nice

woooaa... im just realizing, infinity ward was having its innerstudio fallout when this game was being made so sledgehammer games came in and helped with multiplayer and spec ops dlc. I have NEVER played this mission but you are correct, this looks just like the pipeline remaster map from advanced warfare. it has the dam and even the Chinese symbols because the map w a s set in China. sledgehammer game probably made this map first in spec ops for mw3 and then re-released it as an aw multiplayer map as a pre-order bonus. interesting.

Hey SOur, love the content btw. The Vertigo mission has a bug where the helo can glitch out and the spin out sound will go on indefinitely until you die or finish. Just thought you should know, keep making the world a better place, man. And I love you

for a 24 year old boomer such as myself this is peak nostalgia. Pinicle of youtube and cod, love these.

The knife edit to the GIGN theme on Chaos mode went hard 🔥

The fact that when you uploaded this I was watching your video about you playing all the MW2 Spec Ops Missions.

Thanks again for putting my comment in the collage! These multi-hour long videos are great for relaxing in the evening! Can't wait to see how you pull some of these off, I have clear memories of my 11 year old self having gamer rage, no where near as bad as MW2 Snatch and Grab or High Explosive, but still irritating. Edit: Childhood me remembers these being much harder, the only reason you ever struggled was because you insisted on using low firerate weapons when you really shouldn't have.

Oh fuck yeah it’s finally happening! I really enjoyed the last 2 and I don’t think this will be an exception. :3

Ahh I remember how difficult negotiator was. Had to recruit my friend to split screen it with me, so much easier in co-op

I’ve been looking forward to this

Clicked as soon as I saw the notification. Thank you

Bruh, a day later after watching the two spec op videos now I get this?? Blessed asf 🙏🏼

That rocket at 57:06 was like something out of a cartoon xD

"B is blocked by a hedgehog" Oh the flashbacks... the beaches of Normandy littered with loot boxes. The horror!

Yesterday I was thinking “S0ur hasn’t posted in a while” This was an instant click

Yes its back I've been waiting for this for awhile hoping you would do it here you are. I've been watching you for around 2 years and really been enjoying these videos keep it up s0ur.

No way!!! Awesome to see this!!!

I've been waiting for this after the regular spec ops playthrough.

As someone that played a lot of it when I was younger, decommission was a fun man, good memories

All spec ops missions just seem to be campaign missions working backwards with a gimmic or objective. Ac-130, being a juggernaut etc. Simple but fun

I apologies for my previous comment it was regrettably and undeniably out of pocket. you are a gentlemen and i was just overwhelmed with my little ears being blessed with your beautiful voice.

Having finals in a couple weeks, and watching this vid in between breaks is a good way to relieve the stress. Thanks S0ur.

This is crazy. Just yesterday I was thinking “Shit man, I miss Sour, wish he’d make a video sometime soon”. Lo and behold…..glad to see ya buddy

Hell yeah bro I was hoping you were gonna make more of these!!

You handsome bastard, happy to see your face again!

Kill Switch is by far the best DLC mission, negotiator is also decent.

I love these videos sour is hilarious I love the commentary

A surprise, but a welcome one.

Glad to see this on my feed, and was in the middle of the intro too!

I downloaded and watched the last edition of this when I flew to visit my grandparents back in September, then this was perfectly timed for me to watch on the flight when I visited this week!

now that you’ve done this, you should totally do a tier list of the spec ops missions from MW2-3

Actual chad for coming back to this.

Hey 4 month old random KZfaq recommendation but I found your channel last night and it gives me a good vibe. You post good content king

It brought me so much joy when you called it the rats ass cause I used to call it that when I first got the game when it came out

Just started watching your vids yesterday and then this dropped. perfect timing

Thank you. Really enjoy these vids. The nostalgia is crazy

Love your content, mate. Always fun. Relatable, relaxing and funny, yet still professional. Editing is always slick too. Whatever the future holds for you; vids, streams, whatever, I'm sure it'll be awesome. Can't wait to see what you do next. 👍

The mid roll ad is funny and this is amazing worth watching till 11

I played negotiator so many times because there was a parkour glitch where you could get out of the map, and the out of bounds area was huge, so we just go explore that and let the hostages just chill lol

Became one of my favourite KZfaqr over night cause of these videos man. Thank you

Nice to hear from you S0ur, we miss you when you don't upload

wherever you go with your channel i'm sure it will be as entertaining if not more then what you are currently doing

literally subbed with notifications for these vids but you’re a goat so i’ll watch more!

I've been hoping you'd post new content. Found the channel from the mw2 spec ops and have recently been watching your blops 3 campaign videos. So good to see you back

HUGE HYPE.

The madman listened to our request!

Sour: Maybe I won’t use that self revive… Me : yeah, right… 🙄 Edit: glad he proved me wrong.. . 😑

Thank you! You've got no idea how often imma watch this

i did not know these existed pleasant surprise in the sub box

Super entertaining video dude! I dunno how you do it, lmao. I honestly forgot this wasn't MW3 spec ops and my heart sank a little when I heard you bound your prone key but then I realized that this is a completely new video and you did in fact beat the self-inflicted no-prone challenge :P

The flinch back then was crazy lol

I can’t believe I have been subbed ever since the 25 ways to die in mw3 vid that came out ten years ago…

It continues!!!

They actually do change up a lot of the missions in duo. Someone mentioned interrogator, but in black ice you ride on the back with fmg9's and in the 3rd level your coop partner is actually the sniper. This is even true for some of the base missions as well

The cat headbanging to the modern warfare mission success music 🤣🤣

My eyes have been blessed.

Honestly This game was fun, sadly I never got to play it when it was in its prime because I was like 5 but I wish I did.

Fun fact, scarecrow and ozone are from the "loose ends" mission in mw2

Was not expecting this upload

HOLY SH*T I DIDNT REALIZE THIS WAS PART 2! I THOUGHT I WAS JUST REWATCHING THE ORIGINAL MW3 VIDEO! OMG! WOW!

Love the button smashing in the beginning

"Oh, Im cooking a flash" fucking killed me bro😂

Since you got all stars in Spec Ops, now it's time to reach Round (insert high number here) on every Survival Map. Maybe high score for Chaos as well? Not sure how Chaos works.

Your commentary is why I'm here

Yesssirrr. Been waiting for this

I heard your voice and instantly subscribed, idk what it is, but it’s captivating af

no way, im usually really late to these but not this time. just finished watching the ww2 playlist btw

1:14:28 My inner Michael Scott is laughing very hard ;)

Hey idk who the f hates this guy’s content and shhh but he is wholesome and funny I mean you can’t hate a guy who has 100k he hasn’t even shhh talking about them he just says “I love u guys” what a man I have respect for you

Honestly S0ur I think you making these videos are perfect you don’t have to be good at the game to have a great time going down memory lane and personally I’ve never had these DLCs so it’s nice you made this video

The return of the king

ArmA 2 introduced me to the Osprey, it's really a cool aircraft.

That was an amazing first 5 seconds

Wow, i had absolutely no idea that Killswitch and Ironclad could be played solo. I only ever played with siblings or cousins, so i’m impressed they actually programmed ai for those. I do think Ironclad is infinitely cooler when another player is controlling the tank though.
