Even the smallest donations help me make these videos! (I record all of my own footage and need to purchase several old games for the footage)
This video in particular took me longer than any project I've ever worked on. I put a ton of passion and effort into this documentary - but even so, there are bound to be errors. Please feel free to let me know in the comments if you spot one! Also, special thanks to CasualKlutz for helping with some research and writing on the Treyarch games.
Now sit back, grab a drink and enjoy the ENTIRE History of COD!

Please support this channel on Patreon: www.patreon.com/Nick930 You'll get early access to next months documentary, along with personalized shout-outs, behind the scenes videos and images, and with enough support - I can finally scale back those annoying ads so you guys can tune in and enjoy an uninterrupted experience. Thank you all for tuning in. This video took an absolutely insane amount of time to put together. I had to take my vacation last week just to record all of the footage here (which was up to 1.67 terabytes worth!) Also, shout out to my friend CasualKlutz for helping with some of the research/writing on the early treyarch games, along with some feedback on the script. Call of Duty is an incredible franchise, that spans 16 years now, and continues to dominate the sales charts every time. It's easy to say that each game is the same, but in reality - all of the studios involved put a ton of time and effort into trying to maintain this series, with new stories, new motion capture recording sessions, voice over, musical performances, visual overhauls, gameplay mechanics, multiplayer modes, and general features. I've been enjoying this series ever since I picked up the "Call of Duty: Warchest" collection for my PC back in 2005, and each year these studios continue to deliver well polished content. And to celebrate the series and its probable success with its upcoming Modern Warfare, I wanted to share my passion for this series with a documentary that details what makes each and every game distinct. So thank you again for tuning in and stay tuned for more documentaries like this in the future!

Will you do one on the history of battle field
i am sorry to say activision is very hard to get hold of
Would you dig a Call of Duty collection in the style of the Master Chief Collection? With Call of Duty 1 through 4 or 5 with all the Expansions, Maps, and Multiplayers together? Also with graphical little updates (Resolution, Framerate n stuff) I would make them wayyy more accessable and it would keep the Comunity together because all the MPs are on one Disc :)
39:33 the year I was born also mw2 is my favourite cod game yet
i love COD
I cant belive it has almost been 20 years....wtf?! I see my whole youth, LAN parties and finishing high school rushing by.
I can see why kids today are full grown men from this series
You are already daddy.time pass
You know whats funny i was born in the modern good graphic game age but I really enjoy old games becuase there mostly single player and most of the effort goes into fun and enjoyment and there not money hungry
Cod 3 was lambasted upon release
now there is a COD Mobile....... it's not bad
They should port old cod games to mobile.
Call of duty 3 was not even close to as good as cod 2. Cod 2 and 4 are still by far the best in the series to this day, and it isn't close.
Guys, i couldn't stop tearing up once Modern Warefare, WAW & MW2 showed up. Like i seriously got both goosebumps and a wave of emotions and memories of my middle school days. I'm old man, im so damn old.
CoD 1 and the expansion pack looks like the best CoD to me. Too bad they don’t look like that anymore, close to a milsim. Nowadays they look like a fucking cartoon.
CoD2 was the last good cod game they put out. Now u get hard core mod and when u get shot in the foot u die get sand in your eye's u die. Yeah.. Miss cod2 they need to remaster it and not add anything that would mess it up.
At 0:09 to 0:38, what was that song playing? Just curious.
0:10 - 0:38
man that intro gave me a lot of nostalgia
Imagine a fortnite kid coming here saying that cod is bad. What yall gon do? 🤣🤣 *loads m4* ima take it personal 😡
jesus dude, this was a behemoth of work. hats off to this video!
In my opinion I think goldeneye and timesplitters game fps games gamemodes play timesplitters 2 atleast
I miss cod ghost man 😭 I want number 2
I pretty much agree with that list. You can’t emphasise however how much modern warfare one, revolutionised online first person multiplayer shooter games on gaming consoles. It’s as significant in human history as the development of the wheel or discovering fire.
I finished the campaign of bo3 4 times
The evolution of gaming can definitely be seen in COD series!!!
Me: Just one more video and I'll go to bed *Looks at the video length* Me: Welp, a man's word is his bond
WWII was my favorite game mostly because I love history and especially the world wars
I have to ask,Were all these clips yours!?
@Nick930 oh nice!!
Yes every clip of the gameplay was recorded by me
MOHAA WAS MY FAVORITE GAME WHEN I WAS A TEEN!!! IT STARTED IT ALL FOR ME
Can u hury so i can do u
I like how black ops said Nice modern warfare Yoink My game now Bo1 bo2 bo3 bo4 cold war ghost be like treyarc was like thanks infinity ward
In about 10 years from now, Nick is gonna stop uploading videos, but 20 years from that he will upload the update to this video, and it’ll be like 3 hours long
i know this video took very long to make, thank you!
Everybody thinks that call of duty ghosts isn't that good am I the only one who likes it the most out of any other game when it comes to the campaign?
Just saying black ops 3 and infinite warfare has wall running that is from titan fall
COD 2 is still my favourite followed by COD 4
This jus shows that over time COD has almost ONLY changed graphics and guns 🤦🏾♂️ GREATEST GAMING RIP OFF and somehow I LOVE IT 😤😭
"global domination" Makarov sounds a lot like Hitler
This video made me proud to be a Call of Duty fan
This is BY FAR the best cod documentary on SLworlds. 🔥
If you heard it correctly "Auto aim If someone watch it in 2019-2021,you will remembered a trash mobile br game with the letter "F"
The first CoD is still one of the best FPS ever, imho. Todays kids will def. not understand how much we loved that game. I was 12 / 13 when it came out and we loved to play the Singleplayer campagne, we played it together with CS 1.6. Warzone 3, Unreal Tournament and Battlefield 1942 on LAN-parties and man... we just enjoyed life. Everything was so much more simple back then but also so much better when it comes to enjoying games together. I'm proud that I'm part of the generation who really enjoyed the first days of multiplayer-gaming and today with 30 I'm still gaming a lot. Will never forget the old days!
47:23 Apocalypse Now! Apocalypse Now! That mission is inspired by Rambo First Blood part 2.
1 year later and Still enjoying the MW reboot
why isn’t there a Cod ww1?!?!
Me hearing him saying al-Alamein Incorrectly
Call of duty ghost is not bad
Me: Falls down during a online match. A friend: ON YOUR FEET SOLDIER, WE ARE LEAVING.
The scarce chimpanzee unquestionably obey because fox lovely gather worth a young south korea. abaft, eager weapon
Cod is only good for campaign and zombies the multiplayer is garbage I play battlefield if I want multiplayer
Depends which cods u play
He is like ign but unbiased and not complaining about 2 genders all the time
it was the best game ever
Who watched the whole video without skiping I did
U got admit the cod cd cover looks sick.
cod2 on pc was the best imo. great memories and online community
6:30 mans was quick scoping before it was even invented 😤
In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, you were right about the character Khalid Al-Asad. But it was revealed that he was only working for someone worse, Imran Zakhaev. In Call of Duty Black Ops 1 you forgot to add the main antagonist of that game, Nikita Dragovich. You were right about the first part of Call of Duty Advanced Warfare's bad guy Joseph Chkheidze, but it eventually had a similar plot like Modern Warfare 2. You got the first part in Black Ops 3 right as well, but it was revealed to be an AI virus called Corvus controlling that team. And Call of Duty Black Ops 4 took place a little bit before Black Ops 3, based on some of the comparison videos that I saw.
best COD is world at war
Call of duty should make a civil war game
Can You make a updated ver.
Yeah he really should
LOL too fast for me. Nice playing!
The Stalingrad level used bring my MX440 to a halt, this was the moment I got drawn into the money pit of PC Upgrades.
My brother thinks BO3 is too much like Halo, no. IW is way more similar to Halo than BO3 or AW
Iw and bo3 are basically the same. Imo iw was more made for classic players, with maps not made for flying and guns from og cods
I’ve watched the video at least 5 times, never gets old. An amazing amount of great work went into this! Thank you!
Lets be real: the old ww2 and modern warfare 3 are the best
Never played waw but live mw3 fav cod then mw2 then mw19 then cod 4
Cod 4 was the absolute best imho
Back then in 2010 and 2011, mw3 was a step down in details and graphics and physics cuz black ops had stunning physics and graphics at that time now, its deja vu, but inverted.
Fr lol
world at war featured water physics ( can be seen from the first mission at the boat escape and the beach assault) also, world at war had better body physics and so much details that i cant count.
"Very Nostalgic - epic goosebumps every now & then "
I love cod ww2. Who agrees?
Me but maps rlly could've been better im ngl
Call of duty modern warfare picture most visually impressive my god it compares to 2011 graphics I mean it's 2011 where I live
So underrated he puts so much work into these videos
feels like i was watching a movie. holy sh*t, 2 hours video?!
This is the best documentary of a game that I have ever watched
old call of duty from older gens look better than some mobile games now
It’s 2am rn, gonna have to save this for the morning
Its 2:40am for me
People mad slept on CoD 2, it was a fantastic game even without the addition of sprinting.
Ikr. I didn't even grow up with COD 2 yet when I played it I enjoyed it.
World at war is my favorite cod especially the tanks and vehicles like battlefield
I've only played world at war black ops 1 black ops 2 blak ops 3 and cold war so yeah
Wait, wasnt there a video series like this with drift0r?
I don't know how many hours I spent on cod4-mw3 (where I sorta just burned out), but I imagine it's like crack. I mean, yay there's new exciting forms of crack, but you can't get me excited anymore, no matter how you try and make it not-crack. It's not your (any one publisher's) fault- just the nature of the product.
True, but I still love mw19
Cod 3 was the best campaign
Watched the whole video. Worth it.
Get your head in the game, soldier! We are Leaving!
The gaping chick resultantly instruct because scanner tentatively return barring a bloody satin. previous, tangy brick
I was thinking that this was gonna be about the game history, not the history of real life.
What's the intro theme song name ?
i love this i come here everyday on my free time or when a games downloading or something and i end up watching 1 cod a day
The amount of work put in this type of videos is brain-blowing
Bravo Six, Going Dark.
Hahah you can’t be a proper cod gamer without playing the old ones 😂🤣😂I practically played all of the old ones to new haaaa good times thous were playing a good god game then
F we shall press for the Moms who let us watch 1 more video
F
AWESOME
HOW LONG IT MOST OF TAKEN FOR THIS VIDEO TO *UPLOAD*
Nick is a hard working SLworldsr
but the real question is: why can't you play as the Germans?
COD WW2 was by far my favourite
Black Ops 4 is actually a prequel to Black Ops 3, because Black Ops 4 has some of the specialists had the DNI devise, and Black Ops 3 has the player destroy the DNI Implant.
Incredible video
Nick, it wasn't the bottom left, it was the bottom right.....
I really wanted ghosts 2 and 3
its almost 2021 now, Its S13
They need call of duty, Vietnam
I can assure any of that cod black ops 2 aint goin to happen
mate what game is it in 49:27 ?
@AnderazerX ty friend
That's a version of zombies from BO1 called Dead Ops Arcade
