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. 👌

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

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.

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

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.

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.

IW did a very strategic move with II's marketing , they wanted us to think it was just like 2019 but way better. Then the game was spat out , and it sucked , and then III came out and was even worse. Honestly can not wait for IV , which will probably be as bad as III or even worse.

What I want most now is a mw3 remaster,i can only imagine those incredible scenes from the 2011 game in 4k

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.

In MW2 we are all thinking that price is dead because of the ending of CoD4 with the soldier trying chest compressions but getting desperate. We didnt ask where he was because we thought we were the only one to survive on the bridge.

I think the best part of MW3, was that the “Mind the Gap” mission, you play with Sgt’s Wallcroft and Griffin, showing that after the events of CoD4, they were told by Price to “stay in the chopper and cover our six!”, they chose to stay on with SAS instead of joining TF141 (if they were given the offer of course..)

Any time I hear Keith David I always think Sgt. Foley is giving me new orders 😂

I remember after this mission at 34:51 I actually had dreams where I would be playing as Roach alongside Price and Soap against a hoard of Russian Soldiers just never ending, with dogs that would not die after getting shot. The dreams were so visceral that I remember constantly waking up covered in sweat and needing to wash my clothes and sheets (I was like 8 when I played this upon release). It was either this mission or the one from the original Modern Warfare that gave me that feeling. I just remember seeing Price and Soap getting torn to shreds, their names disappearing after they died and I would look at the bodies of their character models, getting even more scared that the usual blurred screen with “Soap” or “Price has been Killed In Action” not showing up to make me restart from the previous checkpoint

Another win to add to this list. The very first mission starts with Capt. Price smoking a cigar. And the very last mission ends with Capt. Price smoking a cigar.

You actually missed one. The music that plays in MW3 after we kill Makarov is a callback to the original Modern Warfare. A nice little callback to tell you that yeah, it really is over.

I agree with skipping mw3(23) but I feel like the heat in the intro should have been fully on ActiBlizzard and not towards Sledgehammer. Sledgehammer was fully ready to make a expansion side story focused on Los Alamas but Activision were the ones to not only make mw3 a full 70 dollar game but also force the story team to follow up the no Russian and Makarov plot threads. Activision treatment of sledgehammer has been beyond shitty and I really don’t think these devs need more heat for a project they didn’t want to make but were also crunched to hell and back for

3:14 I read somewhere that Soap got his name because he cleaned up bad guys real well. Take that with a grain of salt because I cannot remember where I read that.

So Soap earned his name in OG Trilogy by “cleaning house” (clearing a house) with remarkable precision and speed. In the new trilogy he earned it because when price recruited him for TF141 he was a demo expert from SAS and earned his name by famously using soap bars as part of his detonation devices.

Sledgehammer games were supposed to work on a sort of sequel to COD Advanced Warfare (code named Project Anvil)… and to top off EVERYTHING Sledgehammer is listening to community feed back and are actively working on improving the game for all of us… Lets cut the Devs that put their blood, sweat, and tears to put together this game.. blame those in higher power.. #ScrewActivision

With the MW cycle established at 2-3 years, I knew something was up when they did MW in back-to-back years. This is an excellent example of why writers/game developers need time to make stuff, cause if they're rushed by publishers then stuff like MWIII happens. It could have been so much more had it followed in the vein of MW2019 but was rushed and ruined

fun fact about the tutorial for both MW1 and 2: That's an actual thing used to prepare for an op or train for various scenarios. They're called Kill Houses.

I was too young for prime mw2 but that campaign will forever hold a special place in my heart. Replaying and fully understanding the events that are unfolding was incredible. In recent time ive found i enjoy the marine missions far more than the special ops purely because of how close it hits. Watching D.C. fall was one of the most impactful and emotional moments in videos games for em

great recap! the one thing ill say you missed as a W is the loading screen dialogue between makarov and Price before the juggernaut mission. "my war ends with you" "Like it ended for captain MacTavish?" tell me Price, how long did it take him to die? ive destroyed your world piece by piece, its only a matter of time before i find you" "you wont have to look far" i remember that giving me absolute chills as a kid.

The Modern Warfare is the first series outside of Halo i played through start to finish. MW2 was my first multiplayer experience back in Middle School. This trilogy is just so great. I want to play it through again now just to experience it. The WW3 pre, during, and post through the trilogy is what i see a real-life event happening like.

I have even done it in a couple really stressfull stuations. It's just muscle memory. I can do with my eyes closed. Also, before anyone says ”its all fun and ganes until you slice your hand open," been there, done that, many times. The secret ingredient to not worrying about it? Don't be a bitch baby.

The image is going to be a little fuzzy. All the games after cod 4 (&mw2 spec ops) have HD termal and everything is super crisp. Sure its a small detail but when you compare all of game missions to real life footage cod 4 is by far the closest, even with it being 16 years old.

Having soap die thinking yuri was a traitor makes it hurt 10 times more

There's literally a display from the last mission in Museum lol. Shepherd is reciting the 5 years ago speech and Price is in the RHIB

33:55 incorrect. The original game had this too. You crash down into the ground and when you come to you stare at your beaten up and burnt hands, then, the Nuke/EMP bomb goes off.

Just booted up my old Xbox 360 to replay mw2, man the memories

The nuke mission in COD 4 just felt so surreal. I just remember sitting there in shock as I took in the full view of the mushroom cloud, and because we could crawl around, the kid that I was tried to go back into the helo and escape before the private could die.

Actually Ramirez does look at his hands after the helo crash in Second Sun. One detail that is added in the remaster is he'll actually catch the magazine that Foley throws him instead of it being a normal reload.(although he keeps the ammo left in his current mag if you have any which contrasts with the original)

I literally just finished binging the og modern warfare trilogy less than 20 minutes ago and this was the first video to show up when I open KZread

The first MW reboot had me hyped, the 2nd game was good but thats when the doubt set in and look at MWIII having solo coop missions be most of the story while also cheapening soaps death

From start to finish, I LOVED this trilogy and it's hilarious how it took the DLC/MW2 sequel to bring us back to this. For one thing, this was a great progression story. First game was about bringing in Price & Soap, while showing us what it was with Zakhaev and laying the groundwork for what would come in MW2. Then with Modern Warfare 2 we get a madman fueled by the fallout (both literal and figurative) of what we witnessed in the first. (Now you're wondering which madman I'm talking about, huh? That's the BEAUTY of this second game. We had two madmen at the center of the events here, with a maniac out to stop both.) My lone thing with the second game is, I don't THINK we ever got an explanation for how Price landed in that Gulag or maybe it was laced in the explanation of the very place they were set to break into. (This by the by is my favorite part of the game, cause it gives me my favorite gun in the game. The AA-12 or Semi Automatic Shottie. I was absolutely GIDDY when I saw this was accessible. I used it in the Gulag. Used it in 3 when the plane got hijacked.) Once Shepard plays his hand, MANN... The third game in all seriousness, starts when Shepard plays his hand outside of that safehouse. I love how the safe house mission and actions of Shepard bleed directly into The Boneyard where it's more or less a bloody free for all with Makarov's crew, Shepard's hit squad and Price in the middle. Makarov tells Price 'one day, you'll learn that cuts both ways' when Price hits him with the 'enemy of my enemy is my friend' line and then in the finale, we find out Yuri knows Makarov when Soap is on his deathbed. To have the third game pick up IMMEDIATELY where we leave off in 2 with the chopper landing with Soap bleeding out, it's great. The joint mission where 141 teams with the Americans to rescue the President and effectively end the war, clearing Price to focus on ending his vendetta with Makarov was great. From start to finish, I loved this. It told a great story and we had a great villain to end this thing with. I'm not a fan of the subdued Shepard we got and really, I'm not one of these old heads who is of the 'it was better in my day but in this instance...this version WAS BETTER. I refuse to play or even rent that MW3 they just spat out to a $50 plus price tag on PS4. Piss off with that crap. Thank you for this video, this was great.

Yo, I belive since Price was saved in MW by russian forces on that bridge he had to be medicaly treathed in Russia. After the Zakhayevs death there was outcry in russia to punish the responsible. Other soliders might have died on the way. Probably Makarov got involved and got to put Cpt. Price in the Gulag. Smart move since he understands who Price is to pull of what he did in MW. So any military action to get him out would resault in war as well! Only thing is WW3 was already underway when Gulag is attacked. That is why they freed him then, there was no oppening before. This is also why Soap didnt know who 627 actually was. So there you go this is my logic behind it. I wish they would officialy explain it but that is it.

As a matter of fact, Price ending up in the Gulag was actually explained, but by way of a sort of official, Activision (or IW) endorsed fan movie of sorts, called Operation Kingpin. After the events of COD4, Price, Soap, Ghost, and Sandman all move in on this compound where Makarov was rumored to be I believe. He isn’t there, it ends up being an ambush if I remember correctly, and Soap is wounded. Price provides cover for the others to get to the evac chopper, and he ends up getting shot in the process, and the chopper has to leave because there’s a massive swarm of Russian soldiers incoming. So Price is wounded and ends up being left behind, and he’s captured by Russian soldiers and imprisoned in the exact gulag that you rescue him from in MW2. Sandman being a part of that mission is also the explanation for why Price and Sandman seemingly know each other during the joint mission between 141 and Delta in MW3. I still find it really cool that they did that little bit of background lore narrative stuff that they really didn’t need to do. It’s a nice touch that they did it anyway and it all interconnects.

The reason price gives you the pistol in cod4 was because he was implied to have died shortly after passing it to you, if you look back at him after killing zakheav his name is gone and he lies motionless, obviously they probably changed it after the remaster cuz suprise price wasnt dead

I played these games in reverse order on an old 360 but being able to have played such historic games makes me feel blessed im not the best at shooters by any means but these are the few i can always play and know ima have a good time

33:55 not true ramirez looked at his hands in the original as well. I love that they animated the sentries though

I’m 15 and when everyone was playing there Ps4 and XBox One I was playing MW, MW2, MW3, WAW, BO1 and BO2 on my 360.

Him: The first MW doesn’t really connects you to the characters. Me: crying like a bitch when Gaz and Griggs die.
