Everything GREAT About Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Trilogy!

I wasn’t thinking when throwing in Sledgehammers name with the issues plaguing MWIII. It’s all completely Activision and we need to be aware of the greed and that exploitation that this publisher is doing to their developers. Here’s a great article detailing the crunch surrounding MWIII by father Jason Schreier: www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-11-09/cod-mod…

Soap earned his name due to cleaning house with remarkable speed and accuracy in room clearance techniques and urban warfare tactics.

I love MacMillan immediately asking Price what he needs to help him find Makarov. He knows that Price is on everyone's watchlist and risks his own career just talking to him, but hurt his boy and he will give him whatever he needs for payback

As a firm believer, the original story was the best by far growing up playing it. Man's spit straight facts in the first minute

Soap and the chest knife. Never before or since have i felt so immersed and connected to the game. Seeing Price lose the fight and wanting to help him. I thought "If only i had a weapon". As the camera slowly panned to the knife in my chest, it clicked. Full immersion in perfect syncronisity with soap. "I do have one". Pulling out that knife and using it to win the day, to save Price and avenge my team... No moment in a game has ever felt that good.

Basically Soap got his nickname from being so good at clearing rooms. Because he's so quick at "cleaning out" buildings he got nicknamed that, and I also believe he did canonically get the best time on the MW1 test.

when soap died in mw3 i felt price's pain and i actually cried. it hurts losing someone you care about even for those in the armed forces.

The hammer down protocol is a real protocol, if an area is deemed unobtainable, and the enemy force is overwhelming, to deny them the land, the location is quite literally flattened with MOABs, firebombs, etc, anything non nuclear

Off the point on how everyones codenames reflects them some how. Ghost can’t die Roach is hard to kill Soap is slippery I like to thing after the end of MW3 and it’s just Price alone. He paid the highest “price” loosing everyone he cares about.

As someone who grew up playing these games, I gotta say that they all have a special place in my heart. One of my favorite moments of MW3 especially is when Price calls Makarov after it's announced that the war was over. When Makarov picks up, he asks who's calling and Price says "Prisoner 627". That whole interaction leading to the card were they finally show "Taskforce 141" without the "Disavowed" was phenomenal. 👌

It wouldn't surprise me if in 5-10 years we get another reboot except its just DMZ with an opening and closing cutscene.

When I was 12, my parents were rlly strict on not playing R rated games, but I had an older brother who played COD, one night, I snuck outa my bed at 11 at night, found the copy of MW2 we had, and proceeded to play through the entire campaign in one night, finishing at like 4 in the morning, having just experianced my first, and the best COD game of all time at 12 with zero spoilers

Something cool to point out during the “Soap Trusted you!” Scene. Price pulls out a Desert Eagle, a gun used multiple times throughout the Modern Warfare Trilogy to off important people or start sending sh!t fanwards. The Middle Eastern President at the top of MW1, Zakyev doing the same to Gaz and Riggs at the end of it. Many lesser people meet their end from its .50 AE fury in MW2 And of course, Makarov using it at the end of MW3. It is used time and time again by the bad guys to do bad things. And in that moment, Price is borderline Makarov. He just lost his best friend after what he thought was a slam dunk mission goes tits up. The other person he thought he could trust is now suspect number one as to why Soap is gone. Price loved his 1911, a visual representation of the “old guard” type of military man he is. Part of that idealism died with Soap, and he left the 1911 behind not just as a grave stone for his friend, but a symbol that Price as we knew him died on that table as well. Also, for as fat and destructive as .45 ACP is, .50 AE is bigger and hits harder. And that’s what Yuri finds himself starring down the barrel of. Not just a bigger gun than the 1911, but the much more angry and unhinged John Price.

When you look at Washington from the top of the WH... And all around green flares start appearing on top of buildings... The city is not lost... That just gives me chills, those are brothers ready to fight back...

The fact that MW3 still has not been remastered hurts me, it's my first and favorite COD game with ease, It's definitely nostalgia bias because if it wasn't my first I know my favorites would be a struggle between BO2 and Cod 4, but, I don't really care, I don't care if it's mediocre and it was just a heavily updated version of MW2, it's still an amazing game that left an impact me, I didn't know a lot about cod besides the Zombies and the shooting, but when I played I cared so much about the characters as if I played the first 2 games, Soap's death always hit me, a hero that didn't manage to get out in the end, gone, but not forgotten. MW3 cemented itself as one of the most important things of my life, especially since it reminds me of my Dad, and as much as I learned he wasn't really a great dad nowadays, especially since he's not with me anymore, admittedly leaving me and my family to go back to his own family, forgetting us, probably starting a new family he loves probably more than me, I can't deny he gave me one of the best experiences of my life, my first game, one of if not my favorite games of all time, a Cod game that is always regarded to be mediocre, but I hold too dear to my heart to say it is. You can probably laugh at how sad it is that a son's only treasured love from his father was a game, my life isn't really too eventful in terms of excitement, most of the time it was kind of rough especially with my anger issues and ADHD growing up, gaming being one of the few things making me feel happy, and with how my life is now, I'm happy gaming has affected it, it helped me learn, get smarter with strategies, especially with a kid like me who was too angry half the time to learn at school, I didn't grow up to be some brute who didn't have a father figure, I became a person with quite a bit of flaws but didn't let the loss of 1 parental figure hinder my development. Sorry for rambling, I tend to do that, but it just helps show how much the game made my life better and not put me down a rabbit hole that will probably make me a bad person in the future.

"Switching to your pistol is always faster than reloading." Some of the very first Videogame advice I've never forgotten

3:10 John "soap" MacTavish's codename soap is that he "cleans" houses so quickly he got the nickname for being fast

Thank you for sticking to your principles and not making a video on "MWIII." This trilogy was incredible, and to have its name sullied like Activision has done is a disgrace to what is one of my favorite stories in any game series.

My favorite moment in each game: MW1: All Ghillied up, best part is the atmosphere, you really felt like a trained sniper. And Mac’s voice is badass, let’s be honest. MW2: The EMP over the battle of DC. Honestly, the whole battle was amazingly well done. If you listen closely on the comms, you really feel the direness of the situation, they said there were civilians arming themselves against the Russians. Best missions ever. MW3: Battle of Paris. I might be alone with this one, but it is my favorite mission. You start by making your way through the destroyed buildings surrounded by the gas and the dead civilians caught in the zone. It was very haunting and depressing. You really felt the weight of the damage Makarov caused.

Ah the good old days, from when COD was actually well liked all around! How the mighty have fallen since!
