20 Games of CoD DMZ: The Free Experience

S0ur 2022-11-21 | This is the story of my journey checking out CoD's free "DMZ": an extraction style mode as part of Warzone 2.0. I played 20 games, and documented them all.

I remain disinterested in MWII and CoD's multiplayer cycle, but I did say I'd try the free content. This seemed like a fun way to do it, instead of just some pessimistic review.

Modern Warfare’s Custom Campaign

S0ur 2022-10-30 | For a fun break, we're checking out the CoD4 Modern Warfare custom campaign "Rooftops", by SPi. It's certainly got that modded charm to it, but it's an impressive project for mainly one person to put together and an enjoyable quick playthrough.

SPi's channel / projects: youtube.com/channel/UCYpYA90Nr8C1qQnUrTlbCyA

If MWII is on your mind, I expect I'll have a video checking out free-to-play DMZ when it releases, but did not buy the game. If you have further questions, perhaps they'll be answered by this: youtube.com/watch?v=sbuaRweFXnU

Modern Warfare II

S0ur 2022-10-16 | Discussing the upcoming Modern Warfare II, but not really, actually discussing me not discussing it. It ain't that serious, but as more MWII questions came in I felt I should recap my thoughts about not repeating the standard yearly coverage. Sorry if the negativity isn't what you want to hear, it's not really what I like to do either, hence my mostly just staying out of it.

Mainly, it's just a combination of not enjoying many things about the direction of the games, some totally natural franchise coverage burnout, and re-evaluating what I enjoy about making videos and what the goal even is. With all that, I couldn't realistically repeat the same tired types of CoD cycle videos without either being fake or excessively negative and whiney, which isn't fun or anything to feel proud of. Much better to take a step back and focus on some other things, as well as more occasional but more positive and fun projects.

The First CoD’s Expansion is EVEN HARDER (Veteran United Offensive)

S0ur 2022-10-02 | We're going back to 2004 by popular demand to take on the expansion for the first Call of Duty: United Offensive. I'd also seen nothing about this game, although this time I was given plenty of warnings for UO perhaps being the hardest Veteran difficulty of the franchise... or at least, the simple little Kharkov train station at the end. Still loved it. Oh yeah, NO manual quicksaves of course.

Piano vs. Rhulk (The First Disciple)

S0ur 2022-08-07 | The first disciple, Rhulk.

Yes, a Destiny 2 piano cover doesn't make any sense on this channel, but I'm a retired youtuber. Tried arranged this for fun back when vow came out and finally felt like making something out of it for whatever reason. Thank you to all my cameraman carriers for the filming help.

Come game with us, happy to teach stuff - discord.gg/de2hU9XDar

Taking on the Duality Dungeon

S0ur 2022-06-05 | Here's our blind day 1 duo first run-through of the Duality dungeon that launched last week - watch as Laundry and I take on the nightmares in the depths of Calus's consciousness. Did that sentence make any sense? Yeah, it's been a good few years since those erratic couple of Destiny uploads. Always love new dungeons, exploring and figuring out mechanics, reactions the first time through, so it seemed like a fun thing to record. Thank you Will for pretending to be me in the B-roll :)

Black Ops 4 had a story?

S0ur 2022-05-21 | We're going back 4 years to revisit Black Ops 4 - not that long ago, and yet what feels like a different era of CoD. I never touched the 'Specialist HQ' lite campaign mode or looked at any of the story cutscenes back then, so I'm finally going back to find out what I missed, uncover some lore, and enjoy some light nostalgia. Also maybe sentence mixing woods a bit because the specialist loadout scenes were a tad basic.

Getting 3 Stars in Every DLC MW3 Spec Ops Mission

S0ur 2022-04-11 | After another short wait, it's time for the third entry in the 3 stars in MW2 and MW3 Spec Ops trilogy - taking on the MW3 DLC missions I missed the first time around. Time to once again return to a nostalgic, classic beloved era of CoD, to earn 3 stars in every DLC veteran spec ops mission, plus some extra Chaos and Survival. Fun times.

I got the Atomic camo, for some reason

S0ur 2022-01-14 | I've earned Vanguard's atomic mastery camo, but at what cost? Aside from a quick showcase and tips for the 'fixed' Panzerfaust, this'll be a mental dump all about Vanguard and the state of CoD. Starting with a brief review and my initial positivity towards the game, then the downward spiral of Season 1's gameplay and Warzone's issues, and then into my personal contention with the unaddressed XP inconsistency or 'throttling' - feeling symbolic of the engagement-optimized path recent CoDs appear to have chosen over fun. When taken too far, it's an oppressive feeling that supersedes whatever may be good or bad about the gameplay itself, since when the game feels it has no purpose or goal, either in self-improvement or challenge/progression wise, then it appears structured more as an artificial chore and a store than a game.

So, that all leads into a self-reflective ramble contemplating how I can continue covering the franchise - a ramble I hate to make and be all dramatic about, but unfortunately I feel is necessary to express; all I can do is try to be honest. I've always enjoyed mostly sticking with the same thing, and I've always respected that it's what most people have come here for, but it both feels as though that's less and less the case as more and more people become disillusioned with where the franchise has headed, and I've simply run out of topics that I think make sense to cover in my style as the game grows apart. What can I sincerely cover in Vanguard, when it feels hypocritical to expect anyone to care about testing minutia in a game that I've just described as lacking any aspirational purpose.

With Atomic, I feel I've completed the one true objective laid out, despite what feel like attempts for it to be slowed down, and I did my best to guide other people to it with breakdowns along the way. So, this feels like it serves as a conclusion.

I don't fundamentally hate CoD's gameplay, and could always see checking in to discuss the current games, but I have no real plans for the channel currently. This has always been more of a casual hobby, where I find fun in sharing fun stuff with others; forcing it to chase numbers being the opposite. I apologize to any who have started to develop certain expectations.

Thoughts always change with time, but here's a window into the present.

The 141 attempts one of Vanguard’s hardest challenges

S0ur 2022-01-02 | I've assembled our clan to work towards one of Vanguards toughest career challenges: detonate the bomb in Search and Destroy 25 times. It may sound innocent, but involves a frustrating amount of luck solo, both in getting and planting the bomb, then having your team not eliminate the enemy team while you stall & distract enemies from defusing.

That's where a team comes in - eliminating the luck element of team balance by helping with the plant but leaving the last guy alive, making this a funny thing to try. I hope you find our attempts enlightening.

Vanguard: A Bunch of Atomic Camo Tips

S0ur 2021-12-18 | Let's finally go through all sorts of tips & tricks to help you earn Vanguard's gold, diamond, and atomic mastery camos. I'll be going through a summary of quick weapon levelling, making the bloodthirsty 5 killstreaks easier, plenty of longshot examples, fast LMG bullet penetration kills, MK11 longshots & triples, launcher air destroys, the Panzerfaust air destroy meme, and the shield.

Mostly a collection of some tips I've given scattered in earlier videos since I wasn't planning on much camo coverage, but hopefully it can help anyone still looking for some camo guide talk or more examples.

Warzone Caldera Weapon XP Guide (+Bug)

S0ur 2021-12-11 | With the launch of Warzone Pacific's Caldera map, I wanted to look into the main methods of earning fast weapon XP to rank up your weapons through Plunder, for anyone who doesn't own Vanguard or who prefers these methods.

I'll cover how much weapon XP everything gives, the contract farming method, kills / team wipes method, and some Pointman details thanks to what is most likely a bug with there being a contract streak bonus for the new Big Game (and quickly removed Top Secret) contracts. After the countless gameplay bugs and issues settle down, hopefully this provides some useful info to unlock some attachments.

S0ur 2021-12-09 | Season 1 of Vanguard & Warzone is here, bringing the standard fare of new content along with the massive Warzone Pacific Caldera map & WW2 integration update.

Rambling about Vanguards Shipment for no particular reason

S0ur 2021-11-29 | Shipment came to Vanguard a little while ago, but I never talked much about the map itself. So, why not ramble about this version of Shipment, going through a mix of tips and thoughts. Naturally, that'll mean most of the video joking about the absurd spawn traps and spawn logic in general.

Vanguard: The Decoy Grenade XP Meta?

S0ur 2021-11-26 | Taking a look at the decoy grenade in Vanguard, and how they can be used for some fast & easy passive XP, just like in Modern Warfare. With the forgiving decoy radius and the pace of Shipment, decoy assists give tons of easy score. How much XP does that work out to though? Are they worth using? Figured it was interesting enough to look into how they work. And oh yeah, Weapon XP hasn't changed.

Vanguard: Shipment Weapon XP Problems, Operators Fixed?

S0ur 2021-11-20 | After checking on the Nov. 18th fix for the Operator favorite weapon buff, as well as if you can stack 2XP tokens with the double XP event, I'll be investigating the big Vanguard weapon XP mystery: why does Shipment double weapon XP feel slower than it should? Is the XP nerfed? Is it really double? Well, yes, but actually no. It turns out there's no simple answer to those questions, but there's clearly something going very wrong with the weapon XP tracking in this game after all, it just seemed to take gaining XP more rapidly for it to reveal itself.

Vanguard: 2 Week Thoughts

S0ur 2021-11-17 | We're a couple weeks into Call of Duty Vanguard; time to share some launch thoughts / first impressions of the game - mainly the multiplayer being where I've spent my time. More of casual opinions and how I'm feeling about the game and the content offered, not so much a complete review.

I'm enjoying it more than recent years, despite some flaws and some laughable balance, but I'm just one person who may prioritize some aspects of the game that are secondary to most people, and I think I've gone in with an attitude of wanting to focus on the fun and the positives. Definitely give the free MP weekend a try if you're considering buying it.

Vanguard XP Mythbusting: Useless Operators? Powerful Surplus, WXP Changed

S0ur 2021-11-13 | Expanding on the Vanguard gamemode weapon XP testing to help you rank up those weapons fast, I'll now be taking a look at all the various types of XP buffs all players have access to: the powerful Surplus weapon kit attachment, the mysterious operator's favorite weapon boost, if double XP tokens from Warzone & Cold War work, the battle pass 10% XP boost, the clan 10% party up boost, and if everything stacks. Also, the weapon XP per kill in every gamemode and combat pacing has changed, so I'll update and discuss those new values.

I'll go over some features of the sheet, how to keep it updated for DLC weapons, and talk through the full list of camo challenges to give a few tips and thoughts. Happy tracking.

Fastest Vanguard Weapon XP: All Modes Tested

S0ur 2021-11-09 | Call of Duty Vanguard weapon XP testing time! I'll be going through the basics of earning weapon XP, then how much you get per kill in every multiplayer mode and combat pacing so you can decide on your best mode for fast weapon XP based on how many kills you personally tend to get, and then I'll be going the weapon XP/minute rates I was typically getting in Multiplayer versus Zombies and Warzone. I tested a few different ways of playing Zombies, some of which showed the mode does have potential for decent weapon levelling.

So glad the values seemed to make sense for once! Hope you learn something helpful for this massive weapon & camo grind.

To have something up while I work on some larger projects like weapon XP testing (and yes, the camo tracking sheet is coming too), I figured I'd just talk through the progression systems, career challenges, operator mastery, and do an overview of the new clan system now that we can see it all in-game.

Vanguard Progression Details

S0ur 2021-10-29 | Call of Duty Vanguard is a week away, and they've just released tons of info with what to expect from just about every aspect of the game - like some big patch notes, every multiplayer map, operator, and more about Warzone pacific. As promised, I'll focus on covering and discussing some thoughts on the newly revealed progression details, and some of the parts the blog that interest me most.

We've got some unsurprising parts I'm not excited about like seasonal prestige, but some other promising parts, like golden hero gear-esque operator progression, clan progression, and a massive weapon grind focus.

Vanguard Beta Thoughts

S0ur 2021-09-22 | The Call of Duty Vanguard MP Beta has now wrapped up, so I'll gather up my list of my feedback notes to discuss some of the good and bad, and go through my current thoughts on this year's game in informal review. What I find important or entertaining about the game may completely differ from what you value, but the gameplay worked for me. The amount I get invested in the multiplayer now mostly rests on what we see in terms of meaningful aspirational progression and challenges. If the trend there continues with not being what I find engaging, then the other modes of the game will be what provide value for me.

Timestamps:

Going through beta feedback:

CoD Vanguard Beta - Testing Weapon XP (Yep)

S0ur 2021-09-18 | Naturally, the first thing I would end up doing in the Call of Duty Vanguard beta was looking into how to earn weapon XP. Enticed by seeing the precise XP values once again, I wanted to get an idea for how much weapon XP is earned per kill, which is a needlessly confusing topic as usual. So I'll also take a look at what does and doesn't award weapon XP, the average WXP per elimination over time, as well as the total WXP required to max weapons in Vanguard, compared to Modern Warfare.

Getting 3 Stars in Every MW3 Spec Ops Mission

S0ur 2021-08-15 | At (very) long last, the heavily requested sequel to the 3 stars in MW2 Spec Ops. I've once again gone back to another classic beloved CoD, this time Modern Warfare 3, to earn 3 stars in every single veteran spec ops mission, plus a bit of survival. As is typical, it starts out simple, but started to pick up and provide some fun challenge.

It only took 8 more months or so, now we've taken on the DLC missions: youtube.com/watch?v=C1DrB1OoC_U

Getting Even More Destroyed by the CoD World at War Veteran Campaign [End]

S0ur 2021-06-04 | Part 2 and the end of this classic CoD challenge: Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran - a game notorious for its difficulty and grenade spam, and the one game since CoD4 I never played. This concludes my completely blind first playthrough of WaW; I had a good time filling in this gap in my Call of Duty history.

Cold War S3 Reloaded - Event Challenge Medals Explained & Thoughts

S0ur 2021-05-20 | Cold War & Warzone Season 3 Reloaded is here with the 80’s Action Heroes, adding the Die Hard Nakatomi plaza and Rambo survival camps to Warzone, among other themed event modes, challenges, and changes. Standoff and Duga is here for MP, Outbreak gets a main quest, Ordas, and fishing apparently, and it’s a truly massive update for weapon balancing. Mainly though, I wanted to skip past that to cover my specialty, the “new challenges, medals, and rewards” mentioned on the roadmap. Namely, the new medals added in the event - Become War, This is Personal, Have a Blast, and Light 'em Up. Maybe others, but they're not used in the challenges.

And actually, this video is just a disguised rant about the phonetic alphabet codename weapons that they’ve inexplicably used for a year and a half now. AsSAuLt RiFLe cHaRLiE. Why on earth was that brainless practice carried forward from Modern Warfare? The warzone weapon list is a mess, and being cutesy slipping them into patch notes nonsensically makes me want to barf.

Thank You and Channel Stuff

S0ur 2021-05-16 | After being lazy, then busy, then away with family for a while, I'm back again to talk about some YouTube stuff, including a delayed silver play button and the launch of the most esteemed and acclaimed cryptocurrency for members, S0urcoin.

A weird self-indulgent video, but it's been a while since a little channel talk catch-up. I should be uploading a bit more regularly for the near future, although it may be mostly rather assorted nonsense until I see something worth diving into in CoD.

Black Ops Cold War: Season 3 Content Overview & Thoughts

S0ur 2021-04-23 | Season 3 of Black Ops Cold War & Warzone is here, kicking off with the bang of Verdansk being destroyed, ushering in Verdansk '84 as the new Warzone map. I'll briefly touch on that destruction event split into part 1 & 2 and the new Warzone thoughts, then get into Cold War's updates: the 6 new weapons like the beloved PPSh-41 and ballistic knife, the new maps like the return of Standoff in-season, modes like Sticks & Stones, and plenty more. I'll also do a basic comparison of the supposed Zombies XP "buff". Always fun to take a look through the new season's offerings and give a casual review.

Ignore the cursed thumbnail I have given up.

Maxing My 15 Year Old RuneScape Account

S0ur 2021-04-04 | After nearly 15 years of periodically checking in on RuneScape, I've finally maxed (every skill to 99) my old account I made back in 2006, and felt like telling the story. Starting in those early old school free to play days through 2007 & 8, letting it slide for many years, then returning as a member at last to rediscover the massive historic world and how it had changed in my absence. With how much I talk about grind and completionism, it should come as no surprise that I'd be drawn to this nostalgic MMORPG.

I'll go on to talk a bit about OSRS, other thoughts on the game as a sort of positively biased 2021 review, and what's next. This may not exactly be on topic for the channel, but I'm glad I got to make it regardless as an homage to such an impactful formative game of my and so many people's childhoods.

Cold War Zombies: Earning Flawless Crystals, Best Upgrades & Outbreak XP

S0ur 2021-03-01 | Time to explore the best ways to earn the new Refined & Flawless aetherium crystals in Black Ops Cold War Zombies. I'll compare the new Outbreak mode to traditional wave survival when it comes to farming crystals, then discuss the best new tier 4 & 5 upgrades for all the weapons, perks, field upgrades, and ammo mods. Finally, I'll look at how well Outbreak does for fast XP, weapon XP, and battle pass rates versus traditional Zombies. The XP may be poor, but this may very well be the fastest / most accessible weapon XP in the game!

Black Ops Cold War: Season 2 Content, Challenges & Thoughts

S0ur 2021-02-25 | Season 2 of Black Ops Cold War & Warzone is here, with all the new prestiges and challenges to grind and plenty of content to discuss. I'll touch on the new progression, battle pass, and 6 new weapons, the big new Zombies Outbreak mode and event, then take a look through the new seasonal challenges, before ending with some of what's new for Multiplayer maps & modes and giving some thoughts on everything.

Outbreak is the clear highlight to me, along with tons of new Zombies progression in the form of tier 4 and 5 skills, taking refined and flawless aetherium crystals. I'd like to get more into how to earn them and take a deeper look at the mode after getting more playtime.

Black Ops Cold War: Progression System Review

S0ur 2021-02-05 | With the Black Ops Cold War & Warzone season 1 coming to a close, here's another look at all the progression systems we talked about leading up to launch and s1, as I play through Firebase Z for the first time in the background. Now after plenty of playtime, I can go through what I've liked and thought about the updated seasonal levelling, prestiges, challenges, the missing concept of 100 percenter, dailies, prestige keys, ribbon stars, and how it's affected by what I'm feeling about the gameplay in general.

There have been many improvements to the seasonal system, but I think more could be done to create a focus around one ultimate goal to get me engaged in the challenge hunt. As it stands, I'm not drawn towards the MP whatsoever but the current system, but will enjoy the camo grind and whatever Zombies has to offer.

Black Ops Cold War: MP Dark Matter Camo Challenge Tips

S0ur 2021-01-27 | Some long overdue Black Ops Cold War multiplayer Dark Matter Ultra mastery camo tips & tricks for those still working away on them. I wasn't planning on a camo guide this late, but I suppose it's better than answering questions individually and I've certainly collected plenty of example clips. There'll be the quick mention for the fast weapon XP, then I'll get into all the challenges people tend to ask about - easy point blanks, sniper streaks, thumper longshots, various launcher destroys, and of course, those horrible Cigma and RPG double kills...

Black Ops Cold War: Zombies Armor Barrels & DPS Testing Stuff

S0ur 2021-01-12 | I felt like testing out a couple more undescriptive or confusing attachments in Black Ops Cold War Zombies, like the armor damage Cavalry Lancer barrels & weird Hauer Task Force barrel, as well as going over some basic megaton DPS rankings to see what the best weapons and strategies are for miniboss damage. I'll also touch on the best elemental ammo type and some other minor tips & tricks like not getting stuck with Dead Wire. Just a fun mix of zombies testing and mythbusting, because numbers are fun.
