Call of Duty Retrospective | Treyarch

Published 2024-01-10
Welcome back Appreciators! This is Part 2/4 in my Call of Duty Retrospective series; this time we are speaking about the history of Treyarch and evaluating each game they have developed for the series. Thank you for all the support and down below there is a list of sources that I mentioned and some of the corrections to this video. Please comment, like, and subscribe, joining Appreciation Culture! If I missed anything, please comment below, and correct me if I got any information wrong.

0:00:00 - Introduction
0:10:00 - Call of Duty 3
0:29:05 - World at War
1:08:10 - Black Ops 1
1:41:30 - Black Ops 2
2:14:30 - Music Round
2:29:40 - Black Ops 3
2:55:25 - Black Ops 4
3:14:50 - Black Ops: Cold War
3:39:20 - Where are the Developers now?
3:43:00 - Until Next Time

These developers try their best when making these games and I want to make sure they appreciated to their fullest even if I disagree with them or critique their games.

The Infinity Ward video could be a long while depending on the success of this video so just a heads up if anyone reads down this far.

Corrections:
A. Call of Duty 3's first mission may have not been a demo for Activision although I do remember reading it (unfortunately that is not a source).
B. Call of Duty World at War's multiplayer was not created in under 6 month and that was probably something I heard from a friend and did not fact check.
C. I probably butchered the plot for Black Ops 3... or I didn't. I don't know.
D. Not really a correction but I feel bad for giving Jack Wall a lot of crap and genuinely believe he is a great composer. I just sound negative when speaking on him.
E. Did not touch my feelings on microtransaction systems cause I will do that in Part 4 video.

  • UPDATE: WORK HAS BEGUN ON THE INFINITY WARD VIDEO AND IT WILL RELEASE NEXT MONTH (JULY!) Hope you are all having a great new year! Fact Corrections: A. Call of Duty 3's first mission may have not been a demo for Activision although I do remember reading it (unfortunately that is not a source). B. Call of Duty World at War's multiplayer was not created in under 6 month and that was probably something I heard from a friend and did not fact check. C. Trent Reznor actually composed the Black Ops 2 theme... Not Jack Wall. Things to Note: D. I probably butchered the plot for Black Ops 3... or I didn't. I don't know. E. Not really a correction but I feel bad for giving Jack Wall a lot of crap and genuinely believe he is a great composer. I just sound negative when speaking on him. F. Did not touch my feelings on microtransaction systems because I will do that in Part 4 video.

    While I have great respect for Infinity Ward and love the Modern Warfare trilogy, Treyarch will always be my favorite. Their games tend to be more fun and arcadey, also just very colorful and nice to look at.
  • @thew00dsman79
    Odd that no one mentioned here yet that World at War had had custom zombies maps for YEARS, one of the big sells for Black Ops 3 was the customs, yeah, but that hype stemmed from the mod tools being available for the first time in 7 years
  • @arronkeegan484
    This slander of CoD3 is just so unwarranted that it hurts, it's such a great game with a brilliant story
  • @StankSack
    Turned it off as soon as the bo1 slander started
  • @johnboy4955
    I grew up with cod 3 and the slander in this video absolutely crushed me as a fan. It was super solid back in the day and was one of the first multi player experiences to keep me hooked for an extended period of time
  • @WoddCar
    I love world at war, great atmosphere, good gameplay (minus the grenade spam) and a lot of other things come together to make it my favorite cod game
  • @Drewsifff
    I don’t ever comment on videos but I want to highly praise how well made this video is, to the script, the great use of footage and the length, love this kind of content
  • COD 3 has an amazing story and great characters. I felt much more attatched to the characters than to any of the ones in the previous COD games. Plus its (afaik) the only game that lets you play as canadian and polish forces. And the soundtrack is just phenomenal.
  • @ShaneAlex91
    I started watching this as it was recommended to me on my home page because i love treyarch and their cod games. Then, 20 mins in, i saw you only had 200 subs! Man, I'm blown away. This video is awesome. Keep up the work, and you'll grow so quickly.
  • @kirotama793
    Bro Black Ops 1 campaign is the best campaign. I've only played it once and I've never wanted to play it again I remember everything and I look back on it so fondly.
  • @bartzacky9639
    You forgot about part of BO2 Zombies of Tranzit’s Ambition. Treyarch and Jimmy had many ideas of wanting Zombies to have these fun gamemodes while Tranzit was going to be the best map ever, but because Treyarch & Jimmy were too ambitious and Tranzit had trouble running thought the PS3 and Xbox 360, they had to cut the game modes and Tranzit’s ambitions were cut down because the consoles at the time couldn't handle the map, hence, Fog, Lava, and Denizens were implemented by force to slow players down so that the game can load up memory space. This was a dark time for being a COD Zombies fan and Tranzit almost killed COD Zombies until Mob & Origins and Jason stepped in and saved the mode. It’s a shame Jimmy had too much ideas that were fun for Tranzit but had to be cut because of the tech along with Tranzit having massive cut content.

    While during the "Golden era" IW and Treyarch shared assets, their engines actually split from WAW onward, all the way as far as Cold War Treyarch modified their engine, from game to game and with all the hype of MW19 engine- it still is an evolution of the same IW engine Infinity Ward worke with
  • @ab_shootin
    salute for covering this big fry....recently left my console behind and have been loving the slow crawl of Tarkov as a new player....finding myself back all in on the fps genre...preciate the love you have shown these developers and have definitely wish listed the ones mentioned
  • @Xpertfusion
    I can speak for a pretty large part of the hardcore fans of BO4 that stayed on the game even after MW19 released. MW2019’s MP was just not for a lot of us. It was way too casual friendly and lacked any skill-gap. Couldn’t get into it, so I went back to BO4 along with many others. Obviously went back to Zombies too.
  • @kylekozlov3674
    Whenever someone says "if you made it this far in the video, consider liking and subscribing" I usually don't listen much but I saw I was over an hour into an almost 4 hour long video and I love long videos so I was like "Yeahh, I should like and sub lol" Thanks for the great work!
  • @spiritraps9596
    Said zombies turned WAW from a 20 hour game to a 30 hour game. Meanwhile i put at least 200 hours into this game in between doing the campaign 4-5 times, multiplayer for at least 50 hours. And over 100 hours in zombies. As a kid i got this game just for zombies and got all the dlc. COD3 got me into cod but cod4 and WAW made me truly fall in love with the series when i was a kid. I have over 2000 hours on the series but almost all of it stops after bo2
