My Hot take: Black ops campaigns are way better than modern warfare campaigns (besides bo3) Im not saying modern warfare campaigns are bad (Besides mw3 2023) i simply really appreciate the real life historical events that happen during the campaign. Yes the story is fictionalised but what youre playing through actually happened and its like taking a history class but in a video game! Treyarch are the best COD Developers. Personally i believe bo2 is the best campaign for many reasons and bo1 to me is #2

Ghosts had the most interesting perk system of any CoD and should be revisited

Wasn’t expecting the shoutout, thank you so much man!! Great video!

My hot take: Sniper campers should be left alone. Because Snipers are designed to be used for long distance shooting aka hard scoping.

Mw2019 is a mid to lower tier cod at best. Warzone hype made people see it better than it actually is. Without warzone, almost no one would be saying anything positive about it. The only great thing it brought back was toxic game chats

WAW had a co op campaign… just an fyi

No one talking about the classic cod mw 3 just proving how underrated the game is

Infinite warfare was so over hated. That campaign, zombies, and MP were great.

People that complain about snipers need to just get better at the game, simple. I get it when you cry about the campers sitting prone back map hardscoping, we all hate them but people playing aggressive and quickscoping are no more annoying than shotgun users, so the comment from that guy is kinda ironic.

my hot take is that aw, iw and ghosts are underrated. People hated it, because there are features you are using few times. But, do you remember having tons of equipment in cod4 and mw2 that you didn't have to use? (night vision googles, ac-130, predator rocket, flares)

Me when daddy austin doesn't feature my hot take: 😢

I also have a couple of takes Too Much Focus on Realism. The push for hyper-realistic graphics and settings detracts from the fun, arcade-style gameplay that made early Call of Duty games great. The emphasis on Call of Duty as an esport is overblown. It doesn't have the depth or strategic complexity of other competitive titles like Counter-Strike or League of Legends.

Hey man, thanks for the feature! I understand that you don’t agree with my hot take which is alright. I mainly think this because ww2 had a good campaign however not top three, a good multiplayer but not top three and a good zombies but not top three. I think you get the point. While I love bo1 and think it’s the best pre bo2 game, I think it has some flaws. The campaign is my second favorite of all time and is great and I think a lot of people agree with me there, but the mp isn’t really great for me in retrospect. I think the maps were awesome but lack of new features like scorestreaks and more importantly, pick ten, combined with not so great weapon balancing does make the multiplayer a bit outdated imo. And for zombies, I get that it was probably the most important after waw but it’s just not really my cup of tea, I prefer more complex maps and doing easter eggs (the bo1 music was great btw). As for the rest of the cods, it’s mainly I’m mostly a zombies guy and while I enjoy multiplayer and play the campaigns, zombies is most important for me so the old mw trilogy didn’t have zombies and while waw has it, it wasn’t great. Now I wasn’t around in 2007-2011 to play cod which does explain why my opinions about those games are different than someone like you who has played these games in their prime. Well this turned out to be a whole essay about a 10 word hot take, enjoy your day!

My hot take: bo3 is nowhere close to a top 5 cod. The advanced movement was bad, and the game got carried by zombies

My hot take is that MW19 was the worst cod game ever and ghosts was actually a lot of fun

I really appreciate being in the video man. I kinda agree now nostalgia isn't the only thing that causes players to dislike newer games. I guess what I meant to go for with my comment was that players sometimes don't give new games a chance or think they're bad because they are somewhat blinded by the nostalgia. But again, thanks for the mention (twice lol).

Nearly at 100k now mate!

Always nice watching your videos and your arguments are really good 👍

Hearing BOCW is the best CoD in the last 5 years put a smile on my face cuz theres actually people out there who say MW19 is the best CoD ever. Those are now the same people launching up BOCW even now in 2024.

My hot take. Bo4 zombies > bo3 zombies. Not saying bo3 is bad, I love bo3 if anything. But good Lord is it overrated. Everyone and their mother sucks the hell outta bo3. Gorod just feels like a giant narrow map to me, zets is just obnoxious to set up in, can't stand shadow's Easter egg etc. Prestiging in bo4 zombies feels more satisfying, the maps are hella underrated and fun. IX is a near perfect map, ancient evil is amazing, classified is a ridiculously fun reimagined map, DOTN is stupid underrated etc. And the specialists weapons are one of the most fun and coolest things to be put in zombies in my opinion.

The last good infinity war game was mw2(2009)

Ghosts was fine. It wasn't amazing, but it certainly wasn't terrible.

i should’ve specified what i meant about supply drops. i don’t think weapons or weapon variants should be locked behind supply drops and they should only be used for cosmetic items

Both me and my friend enjoyed the open combat missions as an idea, and if done right could be good, when i took the time to 100% the game and really explore the missions, it was actually pretty fun

Here's some of my hot takes: Storm and Standoff are the two greatest MP maps in Cod history BOCW Zombies would be considered the GOAT Zombies if it had the BO1/BO3 maps Nuketown has always been a bad map for anything outside of party modes and private matches. OG MW2 would be one of the most hated Cods if it were to be released today

My Hot Take is AW had a fairly Fun Set of weapons to pick from,Sure you had Meta Gamers who hoarded Insanity's and Hole Punchers, but Experimental Weapon concepts were fun and a fresh change of pace from "here's a Full Auto AR that shoots SLIGHTLY slower than the one you were using",then it was "Heres this Sniper Rifle that shoots Explosives,oh but you got to Prime the explosive first" or "LMG that can Split it's Bullets into a shotgun Pattern" BO3,IW(and even WW2) did this too and i appreciate it, but my love for gimmicky guns was Rooted in AW.

That golden Galil really gave me nostalgia

My Hot Take: Infinite Warfare had the best reveal trailer in COD History. I get chills every time I watch it from the first scene of going into space and the song choice of Space Oddity was a perfect for the emotional journey that you go through in Infinite Warfare's campaign.

just a question, I do better in a game like halo than call of duty does that make me better or worse at shooters

Like this long form content

Hot Take: IW is genuinely bad. Campaign is top tier but Multiplayer was 🤮 and the zombies had 1 good map, the other 4 were below average at best.

I don’t agree that BO3 is a bottom 3 COD simply because the zombies maps are incredible and there are some good mechanics in the MP. But I do think it’s overrated. The microtransactions leave a sour taste in my mouth. I just can’t support a game that so shamelessly wants you to pay for loot chests, gobblegums, all after paying full price for the game itself. It’s not like Warthunder which is a free game but incentivizes you to pay to level faster. I also hate the weapon designs in BO3 and 4. The sound design is horrible, all the weapons feel very samey, and in zombies the PAP effects are very boring. Bottom 3 COD? No. Vanguard, MW3, MW2 are all easily worse, I’d put AW under it as well, probably Ghosts, Cold War. But BO3 is heavily carried by the zombies for me

My hot take is that shadows of evil is horrible, or at least insanely overrated, I just don’t want to have to 4 satanic rituals just to get pap. Also the map feels huge and small at the same time.

Most of these takes are people coming up with the most obvious ragebait they can think of

My hot take : black ops cold war had the best movement in the history of cod Bc it was not crazy fast like aw and iw But it wasn't extremely slow like cod WWII Which makes it perfect As it left space for gunskill

My hot take: waw has the most satisfying guns out of any cod. Even if you get a kill with the the most doggie poo poo gun in the game its like "man that was satisfying"

I’ll die on this hill. COD ghosts was underrated asf, super fast TTK, innovative perk system with the return of the specialist and an innovative version of that, maps were okay just too big for normal modes and Riley was a double edged sword

Finally someone said it about snipers. People just hate dying in one shot that's where the problem is. But they just fail to recognize the risk we take when using such weapons. "SMG also requires same amount of aiming skill" no it doesn't. Because if it does, there wouldn't be a hipfire build, there wouldn't be an akimbo or tac stance build. You aim at somebody to shoot them. No shit Sherlock, it's the trade-off that matters. You could miss 5-10 shots and still get a kill with an smg, that's why a tac stance/hipfire build is viable, I'd like to see that being recreated on a sniper. Hell, even ARs and LMGs fair better when it comes to just spary-and-pray tactics, which is a luxury snipers can't have. I use a weapon that has slower mobility than most of the weapons and is extremely punishing when missing shots, of fuckin course I deserve to be killing in one shot Edit: Makes even more sense now that it came from a shotgun user. Tryna downplay shotguns by saying they both only need one shot but shotguns require you to get close. Not realizing the key difference here is that with shotguns, you don't miss. If it demands you to hit all 8 pellets to kill then yeah it might be more skill-demanding than snipers but no, you fire 7-10 shots at once and only 1-4 of them shots need to hit in order to kill, you're essentially exchanging range for consistency. Or let me put it this way, if a having longer range but only one shot per trigger pull makes it better, you'd be using slug rounds, and slug builds would be meta builds, and the ksg from bo2 would be the most meta shotgun ever. But you wouldn't do that unless you're challenging yourself, and there's never been a cod game where a slug shotgun is the best shotgun. If you see what I mean you'd know that's why it's the dumbest take about snipers

Ww2 was rugged at launch but the game felt really good, I really enjoyed the headquarters, 1v1 arena and the endless challenges with real rewards such as weapon variants. Bo4 was hated and missed tons of content. But I enjoyed self healing and the hp bump, it made gunfights come down to the better player and not whoever got the first shot. But I do also understand why it was hated. I just personally enjoyed the multiplayer.

Ayyy my comment made it! I will now add that I think rocket launchers are more skilled than snipers to really add to the rage bait

My Hot Take: Black Ops Cold War is the greatest Cod in terms of multiplayer and Bo2 is the greatest in terms of zombies.

Nah that one about Nike town was crazy 😬

15:13 Nah bro forgor about coop campaign in cod waw with that funny cards like zombies or paintball 😭

My hot take: No matter how good a COD game is now (post MW2019), it’ll never be as good as the old cods due to the way we all play it. The campaign can’t just be a simple and fun campaign anymore like MW1 or WAW. Instead it now has to be a big blockbuster over the top story with twists and scripted events. The multiplayer will be sweaty and hard to play due to the way the cod community plays the game, where it’s all about metas and movement exploits, rather then just having fun with silly class loadouts. Zombies is now primarily focused on Easter eggs. Simple survival like what we did on WAW + BO1, is no longer how the cod community plays zombies. I know some people will say that all this shows cods now a better game. But for a casual player. It’s not as good as it once was and I don’t think it’ll ever get better then the golden years

my hot take: IW was a fantastic game, with the campaign and zombies standing out and giving something new (despite the will at the time to have a ww2 game) ghosts was a fantastic game too (except for multiplayer and the colour palette), campaign was reaally good and extinction brought a really good game mode

My personal unpopular opinion: killstreaks/scorestreaks should not reset on death in other words it should not reset at all at least on war/ground war mods if it’s a bit extreme for some people another unpopular opinion: cold war should added the vtol and the gunship in zombies mode

Just a reminder....Treyarch were and still are the greatest cod developpers.....They Tried After COD 4.....The biggest change in the series with World At War and they didnt disappoint.....World At War is a game that showed us: An Unforgettable Campaign....An Awesome Multiplayer....The First 3rd Mode Ever....And Then Black ops 1....wich u LITERALLY question ur own identity...like was The Cold War really About what it was...was communism THAT BAD?....and even Reznov.... a wartorn veteran betrayed....forgotten....got his revenge with the numbers......Like The Darkness Of WW2 still lives strong.....Even In BO2 After Seeing Kravchenko The numbers Appear Again....its the end of cold war and WW2 Betrayal is still unavenged....I wouldnt say WAW Is Better Than Mw...but in terms of campaign its def better....for Black ops its better than MW2 2009 NGL.....i know the stories are connected in the MW Franchise...but In Black ops it is coonected to World At War....but in a simpler way....REVENGE....what do u think...and feel free to criticsize me...

Xpert fusions mentioned 🔥🔥

I agree on that warzone saved call of duty because the developers at infinity ward knew mw2019 was garbage when it was released so the last option they had was warzone and that’s why people say mw2019 is better than Cold War and it’s like nah Cold War was better because if warzone wasn’t made then mw2019 would have been the worst cod in history and worse than IW, WW2, AW and ghost

My hot take is that Ghosts does not deserve a sequel. The plot twist with Rorke surviving is one of the most contrived things I’ve witnessed in media and there is no way they could make an explanation that wouldn’t be stupid. Also MW19’s campaign is bad.

His hot take at the end is true ngl

Infinite Warfare is the most replayable CoD of all time. It has dozens of weapons with unique abilities that have never been seen in any other CoD game, making it the most fun game ever to mess around with weird set ups. Advanced movement and pick 10 allowed you to get even wackier.

My hot take: I like MW22. mostly because of ground war though

Cod4 is still the best of all time

My hot take(really good): 1.every sniper should be one shot to the head, have good bullet velocity and not a lot of bullet drop.2. No singuler weapon should get nerfed without all other weapons also getting nerfed,also more buffs. 3. Gun's ironsights should be better

Most of infinite warfare's hate is because the internet told people to hate on it

Holy hot take on your part on the first one cause that whole list is wrong lol.

Didn't World at War have a co-op campaign?

Hot take: the only call of duty that we can truly consider as art is the original modern warfare from 2007

My hot take: Cod 1-3 deserve more love, theyre never mentioned and they're honestly pretty good games.

I agree mw2 is fucking amazing but glazed to hell and back like we get it you wish you were a child again womp womp

Thank you, shipment needs to go. Tired of seeing it. At least nuketown is a good map.

Hot take: there is not a single bad black ops game imo. There are some that are better than others, but even the BO games that are seen as the “worst” ones, like Bo4 or Cold War, still beat other games like mw19 on how enjoyable they are.

My cold take : supply drops are so addicting like even though I hated them but they’re sooo much fun to open

I like WW2's zombies mode. That's one of my hot takes.

1:55 this lil man clearly loves his slide cancelling b hopping bullshit movement exploits, but can’t handle his exo suits.

My hot take: I don’t care about SBMM

I think my biggest unpopular opinion would be that Black Ops 2 and 3's Zombies are way too overrated. I say this because I'm all for casual zombie players and hate having to do an easter egg 100 times just to get the wonder weapon of the map. Whereas in BO1 and WAW, you had to get it out of the box. I feel like building the wonder weapons killed the hype for the use of those wonder weapons. Whereas back in Nacht in 2008, you got the Ray Gun and you were like "HOLY CRAP! RAY GUUUN!!!" And also building them just makes the games drag on for way too long till you get bored. Which is why I hate maps like Origins, Shadows of Evil, Der Eisendrache etc. I just don't find them fun lol

My hot take: BO2 is a mediocre game. The campaign story is sprinting before and after you hit the ground, you don’t even run. The UI at the time was awful compared to newer CODs UI. Why are half the campaign missions set in the 80s when the game was advertised for the future? Only 2 decent main Zombies maps, Mob and Origins. And good lord can we not forget about the OP Snipers and Pistols in the MP?

My hot take: Vanguard is the best COD and people justvhate it because its WWII and streamers/youtubers told them to hate it. it was an anazing game and still my favorite.

My unpopular opinion: They should have just remastered mw2 and mw3 instead of rebooting modern warfare. The new games just dont hit the same as the older ones.

Here's mine : BO II is a great game, with a neat campaign and multi, but the gunplay is really mid in my opinion (Also Stonehaven is my favorite map in Ghost)

Fantastic video as always! These were some crazy takes, I personally disagree with your opinion. In my opinion, Warzone killed COD and I believe it would have been in a better state if Blackout was the primary battle royale to build off of.

Only things i got from the store were either battle pass cp that is free, or a gift

Tbh we can't decide the best cod because everyone is biased by the fact everyone thinks that the first ones that they played is the best

Hot take, crash is better than every other map, including nuke town

My take: I really loved AW; campaign was good, MP was great, Exo Zs was great! I liked MW 19 but am not crazy about the other 2; I like MW3 mp and zombies but they seem unfinished.

My hot take: Call of Duty's on Nintendo Wii & Wii U weren't that bad.

Ehm... a lot of hot takes hasn't really been all that hot, For example: Yes OG CoDs did not stood a test of time, if OG MW2 would be remastered (not remade) today, nobody gonna play it outside of OG CoDs fans cos newer CoDs feels better, looks better and have more content. Modern CoDs has made A LOT of things right, movement, transition dead silence from perk to a field upgrade cos this perk is just broken and it always was broken. Here is TRULY hot take, MW2 (2022) has made A TONS of correct decisions, is it a good game? I have seen better, but they has made a lot of right decisions nonetheless for example: a) removal of red dots, look at MW3 everyone is rocking a supressor making minimap pretty much useless, gunsmith allow people to just hide from radar imposing little to no penalties, that makes any muzzle attachment that is not supressor pretty much useless. b) putting Dead Silence as a field upgrade, once again look at MW3, EVERYONE is rocking covert sneakers, why? cos there is no boots that can provide anything comparable, the only way SG has been able to kinda solve this issue is by reducing footstep audio globally, by putting dead silence in field upgrade category IW expanded perk variety and since Dead Silence is now temporary other field upgrades have a chance to shine as well. c) I personally find IW map design better, cos I am kinda tired of 3 lane maps they are all different but somehow the same, you learn one, you learn them all. d) low TTK in combination with map complexity added another skill layer by requiring people to have better map understanding, and actually thinking before they do something as the game do not forgive you for making mistakes.

The gunsmith system is better than the Pick 10 system. It allows for more variety and creativity in fun creation. For example, making the M4A1 or AK47 into an SMG in MW2019. However, we shouldn't have the same weapon variety as MWII 2022, where you had a variant of a gun in each category, because it ruins that experience, but Aftermarket Parts should make a return. I wanna read each and every comment for people's opinions on this and I will try to reply to as much as I can.

Hot take: Vangaurd was a better Mw2019 in every way Edit: not the campaign tho

My big hot take is that turners death was more heartbreaking then ghosts death/shephards betrayal I just feel like the quote turner gave before sacroficing himself with a super cool cutcene with great and emotianal voice acting made it better than ghosts death/ shephards betrayal And also i did not even like ghost that much in MW2 2009 so thats also another reason lol While i liked turner more so its more sad for me Go ahead make fun of me 😅

BO3 is massively overrated. Everybody who praises it forgets about the overpowered BS supply drop guns.

Custom emblems are also not coming back because activision is hungry for money

15:05 dude bo3 isnt the only campaign with co op, world at war had it too

If you want to get skins, but not support activision, if you play steam, xbox, or playstation just get a gift card for yourself

The new ghost design looks stupid af

The only good shipment map was on mw1 og

AW=one of the best cod, people hate it because you needed money or skill (I was strong even with the base weapons, if you were good, then you could've beaten them) BO3: I don't like it but it's objective one of the best MW2 original: Idk, never played WW2 and IW: overhated without a reason

i think my brain is damaged from smoking all these years but i cant fucking stand bo3 multiplayer campaign and even zombies i didnt like for some reason but i loved infinite warfare it was everything i wanted in a jetpack game had an amazing campaign actually futuristic looking multiplayer and the zombies easter eggs and map designs i enjoyed way more and they fixed the op loot boxes as the cherry on top🙊

WAW had coop campaign

Nah the Mw2 being super overrated is so true, I never played it back in the day and playing it now is super boring, the sniping is the main part, as almost every lobby you manage to find has these “Sweaty” snipers hitting the most unfair shots (Not even fully aiming in and hitting me across the map every time) which i dont understand (however it is worse in the og mw3), and/or campers with Underbarrel grenade launchers sitting in a building. I have yet to find a lobby that is enjoyable. The campaign is great, but i never felt it hit the spot, expecially the fact that ghost was in like 5/6 missions before he died, and the ending wasnt all too satisfying. I cannot argue about how significant mw2 impacted COD as a whole, but the game itself is not that good.

Trevor No.6 is a G and is so right

Here's my unpopular opinion: I really like bo3 campaign (But it does suck)

Hot take Ascend ar is a good KZfaqr

bo3 had an actually good campaign. the gameplay was really good and gave you many mechanics you could use, story was decent despite the mistake of making the twist hidden from the player. It was good.

BO4 is a top 3 cod zombies experience

Infinite Warfare had a top 5 campaign

Hot Take: MWIII is actually fun

Bo1 is very overrated
