Hey friends, with today being the 2 year anniversary of Warzone I decided we do something a bit different, a bit more special here with this one. This is by far the biggest project I think I've ever done on the channel, but it was well worth it to chronical the inception to where we are now. I do hope you enjoy it! This one was a labor of love and goes out to all of you who either stopped by for a bit of news, a loadout, a few tips and tricks, whatever it may be over the last 2 years. I tremendously appreciate the support you've shown in that time, more than you know. While it's normal to look back fondly at where we came from, I'm excited to see what the future holds and what we can do with our community here. Thanks a ton for everything and I'll see you in the next one!

It only went downhill with the Cold War integration. From that point, it was never and will never be the same. The game's performance dropped significantly. Despite upgrading my PC throughout the game's life cycle, im getting consistently less frames than what I was getting in the first seasons. Cold War weapons were ASS (animations, sounds, floatiness of the weapons), and having to grind for them without the multiplayer was and still is frustrating.

What a trip down memory lane. Seeing this video has brought up some great memories for the past 2 years, from the launch of MW to the launch of WZ. I started playing Warzone when Season 5 of Modern Warfare launched. Been trying to get into it ever since. I unfortunately missed out on most of the OG WZ events mentioned in this video, but looking at all the events now, they would've been so much fun, especially the Black Ops Cold War reveal event. I can already tell that I'll definitely play WZ 2 more than WZ 1 when it officially launches. Happy 2nd Birthday Warzone!

Then came back on December to play rebirth… oh glorious rebirth. construction site. Going under the prison showers. And nowadays with the new map. I think Rebirth (since Alcatraz at Call Of Duty’s previous games) got Warzone back on track. There’s a ton of community that only plays Rebirth. Me one of them. Hopping to see what comes next.

I have no idea what guns are meta anymore, so I just use my old classes, which perform relatively fine. But overall, the game is just not as good as it once was, for a plethora of reasons. Hopefully this "warzone 2" can improve the experience, and make future game integrations more stable.
