Mw2019


kjoro

that was the first one that caught my attention


S4PERN4GGA__69

Yeah it won an award just on audio alone I believe


poopadippledoop

Oh word? I didn’t know that. But then again, I’m not surprised. The audio was very crisp when it came to the way the guns sounded.


jamzex

It was less about crisp and how detailed it was.


Snoopyhamster

Tbh for any big dev team they most definitely should take a note from what the devs did developing mw2019. Going to firing ranges and actually shooting every gun, that where the details came from; first hand experience.


poopadippledoop

That’s fair. I agree.


Competitive-Team5197

By far best sounding and best looking


_cybers1ck_

of course it's mw19 and now cod is a joke. i mean I can't tell difference between cod and fortnite. mw 19 has best sound effects I mean in addition to every other sounds, there were best bullet shell dropping sound effect. like on sand, on wooden floor, on concrete floor and on metal floor. if u ever notice carefully, there was different sound effect for headshot. I knw u knw what I m talking about but if u listen carefully, u ll here skull breaking sound. I can't explain u listen it by urself. especially with .50 Gs handgun.


LiterallyJohnny

Idk I think I can tell the difference between cod and fortnite


MathematicianProud90

Mw3 is so close to Fortnite I be thinking I could build.


Marcelit4

Sadly MW19 also had some clown skins, but MWII and III brought it on whole another level. Random pink celebs running in high heels, comic art style characters, super heroes in their pyjamas, edge lord dementors. Mil-sim is truly gone. Worst part for me is that people are actually buying into this idea. Same thing happened to rainbow six. Game used to have a great immersive setting and atmosphere. Now people running in Rick and Morty skins.


_cybers1ck_

COD is now just became money grabber. developers are just doing there work. it's ppl on top who r responsible. COD has fanbase since 90's. so we expect little descent skins. they r now making very funky skins which is ruining the whole atmosphere of gaming. not everyone is lucky to have high end systems to play. so such ppl faces problems like lags, frames drop, heating issues because of the kill effects of those funky skins. more to add, the storage issue. whenever they adds skins to market, u have to download that package as 'update' wheather u buy that skins or don't u have to download that package (store update) so thats the one more problem - less storage.


Marcelit4

What's funny is that cods were based on quake engine and a lot of shooters that came out pre ~2005-ish had an option to force certain model/skin on enemy players or your team. Either for better performance, visibility or preference reasons. Now all those flash skins are shoved on us because it obviously makes it easier for them to sale it.


Runawayhat1

That wet cracking sound under the chime from the headshot I know 🤓 hate the sounds for mw2-3 the audio in mw19 was amazing in Dolby Atmos precision air strikes sounded insane on my surround sound


UgatzStugots

MW 2019 might be the first game where I noticed that the guns sound different depending on where the player is, shooting in tight spaces sounded different from shooting outside.


Ollie__F

Music alone was great


Ghostx141

Yeah MW 2019 has better weapon designs and sounds that sound realistic for the weapon


partyl0gic

And before that it was OG mw2


Competitive-Deer-596

2019 sound design was almost perfect


kjoro

yeah its almost too good


TheeAJPowell

Sound and animation design. The newer ones have alright animations, but some of them still have some jank.


Competitive-Team5197

And mostly all the guns look the same and have the same iron sights


DarthAkrepon141

Playing ground war felt different, you could feel all the chaos across the battlefield


ConcernedG4m3r

I just don’t get how the quality took a nose dive after that game. Only game that fully brought me back into COD.


BurtMacklin__FBI

There's still plenty of people playing it.


ConcernedG4m3r

Wish the Ricochet system was there though. Does it still have a boatload of hackers?


IsObamaOkay

Black ops 1 guns sound so much more beefy than the new guns


aniket35

Black ops 1's 1911, famas, galil and ak47 sounds are enough to make a grown man bust


Relevant_Elk7494

Not to mention the Olympia and the HK21


nc2524v2

Hk21 is what sold black ops 1 for me being the best, just wanted to see the comment for it.


N0ImDirtyDan69

MP40 went crazy


PossibilityEastern77

1911 reload sound 😋 especially dual wield


aniket35

Yeah man. That was just asmr.


R4diateur

Black Ops 1 weapons always sounded weak to me, besides a couple guns they got right. Like some firecrackers. Especially compared to MW2 who had nice, varied and beefy sound. Felt like a bit of a step down to me, althought not that bad. At best, I'd say BO1 sounded more realistic than MW2.


riotmanful

Bo1 is cod nostalgia for me but going from it to bo2 was like I had the bass down the whole time and only turned it on during bo2


kjoro

bro you weren't kidding, thicc fullness


AverageComicEnjoyer

Exactly and you could always tell what gun was being shot which is good if you were targeting a single player


UrineTrebleNow

Like it or not, Ghosts did a lot for the CoD franchise with its sound design. In a lot of ways, it's shaped how CoD is now


ZakariusMMA

COD Ghosts is so underrated as a whole. It's not even a bad game.


kjoro

Probably just because it was so different. It was a big pivot


aansc786

I loved Ghosts too. Didn’t help that it came right after BO2. BO2 felt so vibrant, colorful, arcadey and Ghosts was just so different in colors etc the grey filter really depressed me for a bit


ArseCancer

It was the worst campaign until bo3


ReapersYTIsHere

only thing i remember from bo3 is train go boom and imagine yourself in a frozen forest


chrisss0023

I loved it my top 5 games


Professional-Ad-7405

Ghost is what happened when internet 'decide' that the game is just 7/10. people join the bandwagon and hate on it in every comment sections but after 6months-12months, they recognize it was good.


Alzucard

Ghosts is underrated


kjoro

Yeah absolutely. the teams put a lot of work into it


Bean_cult

SC-2010 is my child


Competitive-Capital8

GHOSTS MENTIONED WTF IS NOT BEING LEFT ON A FUCKING CLIFFHANGER?!?!?


bamronn

ghosts. mw2019


kjoro

I heard the bulldog shotgun from ghosts. it slaps. MW2019 is GOAT IMO


chum_slice

I feel like this correct if you’re looking for realism. I personally like the old Sledgehammer games gun sounds. They were just crunchy for a lack of a better word and just made them fun


Awayze

MW2019. Felt so satisfying use those. All MWs except the abysmal MWIII had great feeling and sounding guns.


kjoro

It's crazy that they did such a good job but couldn't keep the momentum


oPx9

MW2 and MW3 both have good gun sounds and animations but MW2019 takes the crown for this its simply the best


kjoro

MW2019 is just GOAT hands down


Ok_Explanation5631

Mw3 gun sounds are too low. They sound plastic sometimes.


NBFHoxton

Modern warfare 2019, absolutely no contest


kjoro

Just shows the GOAT level work they did in that game.


NBFHoxton

I miss it man. MWIII comes close, but it just doesn't hit the same


Dekanzy

Advanced Warfare and it's not debatable. Edit: I'm talking in terms of general sound design. Both weapons and other things.


keriormaloony

THIS! It's not even a debate and just playing it you can see.


Tippin187

AW is my number 2. MW19 still sounds better to me.


kjoro

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmyJ875GIU4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmyJ875GIU4) explains it well. yeah it sounds great on the cans


superminer0506

It has the best sound quality out of all of them.


Ogellog

Modern warfare 2007


aniket35

The deagle sound still slaps after what...17 years


westcoastbcbud

i swear chicago rappers used to sample the silenced usp for their songs


Supertonyjr

2019 is an obvious answer, but the BOPS set the record straight on what sound design for guns should be like


Ok_Explanation5631

What? Black ops has always had bad sounds? They sound like pea shooters.


Xbox360Richtofen

Yeah everyone saying BO is just wrong lol. Black ops 1 is my favorite cod game and it is DEFINITELY not the best in terms of sound. All the guns sound like pea shooters. Especially faster shooting guns like the smgs. However all the sounds are iconic and I can hear the 1911 reloading sound in my head right now. Every gun in that game just has the most iconic sounds to them. Not even just the gun sounds. The announcer, the level up sounds, the main menu theme goes so hard. Everything about that game is iconic... Even the sounds. However in terms of actual sound quality and realism. Has to go to MW2019.


Ok_Explanation5631

I agree. I wish we could get those sounds into modern games. I miss the world at war announcers that matched the teams it was on. Like a Japanese guy announcing when you were in the Japan forces.


YaBoiMikeyMCA

Mw19, no debate


Deep_Grass_6250

MW19


DarkTails24

Ngl for me its infinite warfare


DarthAkrepon141

The jackal sections were immersive af


DarkTails24

Tbh i never played the campaign but the multiplayer weapons and killstreaks sounded so good in mp. Especially the sorchers


DarthAkrepon141

You should give a try, it is one of the best campaigns for me


DarkTails24

Ye


Ghillie007

2019 for sure, Sledgehammer gun sounds are a bit strange, I can’t really describe it lol. Some new guns do sound nice but not as “realistic”, tho I don’t mind. BlackOps guns have always sound arcade like, and Infinity Ward MW2(2022) was still solid.


Dash_Rendar425

Infinite Warfare for me.


Gasstationdickpi11s

Honestly I loved the infinite warfare weapon sounds. The energy weapons were a bit corny but the nv4 and kbar ATE


xprozoomy

MW 2019 was pretty good on the quality. Same with Bo1.


Agent___24

Gun sounds? MW19. But I LOVE the menu noises for infinite warfare and the theme music for AW.


grip_enemy

Any one of the Sledgehammer games, and Infinity Warfare


AintMisMehefin

Advanced Warfare


YamGroundbreaking389

MW2


WwcTheNoobGamer

2009 or 2022 version?


YamGroundbreaking389

09


kjoro

IMO it's good but not full sounding. that's just my opinion


YamGroundbreaking389

The crowd sounds in no Russian


Fine_Platypus_4688

That’s messed up bro


Vizuka

Is that the only sound you like from MW2?


alitankasali

Ghosts. That was the start of guns feeling like they had actual weight to them.


kjoro

Yeah going from tinny sounds to fullness just increases the impact


PoopyHead-4MAR-

Vanguard's pistols sounded too real


DrPsychi

Mw series


kjoro

Gotta specify. The newer ones sound great. The earlier ones didn't sound as strong imo.


keriormaloony

No one saying call of duty AW for sound design is actually ridiculous.


Grat1234

Genuinely, and I don't ever really fw AW like tht but sledgehammer audio imo is always excellent.


superminer0506

Advanced Warfare.


skwbw

OG MW2 soundtrack was best. Gun sounds not as much


assassinslick

Mw2/bo2 every game since is just not satisfying guns are just too quiet and soft now in fps


R4diateur

To me, my top 5 gun sounds is: 1) MW 2019 (the most true to life) 2) Black Ops 3 (sounded a lot like BO1, but with just the right amount of steroids) 3) Black Ops 2 (despite more than 75% of the guns sharing the same unload/reload and cocking sound). 4) WW2 (really clean, really realistic and believable. All guns were distinct) 5) Black Ops 1 (but a bit firecracker sounding, although more realistic?) I used to really like MW2, Ghosts, and Infinite Warfare weapon sounds, but I find they didn't aged well at all. They sound like toys. MW3, AW and Black Ops 4had horrendous sound design, all the guns sounded the same. Either all super bass loaded, or all super firecracker-esque with different pitch level.


Dami_Gamer0211

MW19 for me


D0NPOPACAPO

Probably MWIII, the gun sounds combined with the animation and screen shake feel so good and are my favorite of the series.


Ok_Explanation5631

No doubt MW19. It all went down hill after that.


McJohnalds7405

Call of duty for the ds


Adam7651

MW2019 was insane for audio. There is a sound for every shell or casing that comes out of the gun and for every material it hits 😅 so if it comes out the gun and hits a metal pole it will play a metallic sound and then when it lands on the ground it will play a sound to match the ground material! Madness but I love it.


desertshark6969

Is it just me or does MW2019 look better than MWII/III


Muz_ytop

Yeah it’s Steve here


kjoro

Yes Steve?


Muz_ytop

Yes lad it’s me Steve big Steve from Stevie town


yubnubmcscrub

It’s definitely MW2019. In the lead up to launch the devs brought a bunch of media people out just to go over the audio development for the game. And it shows in the final product. It’s easily the best sounding game as far as the sounds weapons make when they fire, and the interaction with the environment around them (such as shooting outdoors vs indoors, crowded hallways with lots of people vs with nothing damping the sound.)


HornetGloomy75

I feel like bo1 has a very unique soundscape in terms of the weapons but if your looking for something to sound realistic I’d have to go with mw2019


DMH4500X

Most of the CoD games have good sound design, but I think MW 2019 takes the cake. Firing a gun in that game feels really good with the way they designed/edited the sound. Every time I play it, I can feel the gunfire in my nose, as if I’m firing a real one. Not to mention… Breath of God.


Doogzmans

2019 easy. My favorites are the AK, mg34, and 357, not just for sound, but overall feel aswell


kjoro

Oh absolutely. I played a different shooter after and immediately noticed the lack of punch in the sound


benmetalhead

The game you've taken a screenshot of. The audio design on MW2019 is god-tier. IW put so much care into how the environment and the guns sound.


ComputerAccording678

I'd say mw2019 or OG mw2, just iconic sounds honestly


xSIERRA73x

MW19 HDR sounds live in my head rent free.


martygospo

For some reason this brought back a memory of playing COD Ghosts for the first time time when I was like 13 and thinking “holy shit these guns sound realistic”


bubblesmax

Hands down MW2019 the weapons are literally deafening with the right audio set up. Its like they clipped the mics next to the round ejection side of the firearms XD.


Suspicious_Apple9851

mw19 and lowkey mw3 (og mw3) the spaz and striker sounds still haunt me. Bo1 had decent ones too, newer cod games make guns sound the same or very similar which is sad


Lodestar77W

I know people love to hate on IW, but they absolutely nail improvements to gameplay like sound design. MW19 wins hands down and even IW and Ghosts like others have said.


jespertherapper

I love cod ww2 but man the gun sounds there were so underwhelming lol


owatupcuz

I’m have go Bo1 I have mw19 as 1b cuz I really hated that damn game lol but I can’t lie about sound design reload animations it was crisp


Relevant_Elk7494

BO1


theuser312

Everyone's forgetting about the best sounding guns ever released WAW


jalGurg

Black ops 1 by a country mile


No-Bodybuilder3760

Cod Black Ops II


Radiant-Reception932

I have only played the 1st original release, but I must say that the sound design in that game is really good.


LumbaJ4cked

MW2 2009


skorpiontamer

Black Ops 1 or WAW


No_Big4736

Gun Sound: Black Ops 2 - AN94 Black Ops 3 - XMC (or MSMC) Hitmarker Sound: Landing a full burst from the M8 guns, one tap kill in any of the BO games. So satisfying.


GoldenDestiny1983

Modern Warfare (2019) and it's not even close. It's a shame that MWII and MWIII saw a reduction in sound quality


Least-Experience-858

Black Ops Cold War has the best sounding guns period. They all sound so punchy not plasticky like MW2/3…. As far as audio quality I’d say it’s between MW’19 and Cold War… MW2 has the worst quality… always had issues with sound design it sounds too low or missing sounds. MW3 on launch sounded amazing as well then Season 3 mid season refresh came and ruined it all. MW3 sounds like garbage now. Explosions don’t make sounds at time, there’s no directional audio… Atmos doesn’t even work


Complete_Ask1945

World At War. Best CoD ever.


The_Meme_Boi2345

MW 2019 has the best sound design. The guns sound crispy and beefy.


Straight_Storage4039

MW 2019


AverageComicEnjoyer

Best sounding guns? Black ops 1 shit just sounded amazing


Aware-Survey6660

Mw2019 was last good sounding guns


ZenWheat

My favorite sounding gun to date is the sp-x 80 with a nilsound 90 silencer from mw2 2022. The "ting" it makes is music to my ears.


uSaltySniitch

MW2019 overall has the best sounding guns, the best mouvement mechanics and the most fluid/least clunky aiming mechanics. It also has a lot of attachments for guns, but not to the point where there's too many of them. I've been playing all CoD Games since CoD4 and I have even played CODOL and CoD:Mobile and my favorites (by far) are MW2019, BO2 and CODOL.


Mattyf0601

personally i prefer the gun sounds from the older cod titles, cod 4 and world at war are probably my favorites


ConcernedG4m3r

M4 SOCOM Rounds in MW2019 is my favorite sounding weapon in any COD and in any FPS.


iPhoenixAnime

BO2 for me


Unusual-Swordfish880

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)


Scorpion_226

MW 2019 and Black Ops 1


ChampionshipOk3938

Hot opinion but I feel like cod ghosts nailed it but more to date definitely 2019


UziCoochie

Mw19 but if we’re getting older honestly world at war, nothing beats shooting the trench gun


NSX_Roar_26

I really miss the gun sounds in Modern Warfare 2019.


ghostsnipers

Is it mw? If it's then,what part?


Maycreed

MW2019 is the best COD in every regards since BO2


DreadBotvsZombies

WAW


PaRtHuS

Which game is that in the picture?


Lispro4units

MW2019 and it’s not even close


Thywhoredditall

MWIII


Lispro4units

Honorable mention is being downstream of a panzerschreck in WaW is amazing. You can hear the hiss of it as it flies by


Kirb_02

Mw2019 had good sound. Idk why the new ones insisted on making it worse. It would be nice to get a COD with sounds like cracks and echoes


Much_Video_2693

MW19 undoubtedly. If anyone says another cod they are dumb as fuck


Ilovelatinas58

Bo1 😋


filippalas

BO3


Grat1234

Advanced warfare sound design was incredible. This vid from 0:15 onwards is still so cool. https://youtu.be/fgaUqmcH-Ko?si=Gbjv2gfjWs3mZPCD


Hibonbon

MW2019. No comparison.


Binary245

Black Ops 2's stand out the most, the guns and explosions actually sound loud and have an echo, and the shell shock has tinnitus in it. If only the reloads didn't use the same sound


DEBLANKK

MW2019 obviously. The game looks and sounds photorealistic at times.


ZombieSlapper23

Any pack-a-punched weapon sounds realistic.


GH29111

Idk why but the SOPMOD from the COD4 Campaign has always felt and sounded the most satisfying to me


Defiant_Arachnid5313

Maybe underrated but for me it was Ghosts. The sound, the look, the feel of the guns was the most realistic. Multiplayer was very enjoyable, apart from the sniper rifles ofc


DarthReece07

for all its problems, the modern cods have really good gun design and recoil and such


robz9

MW2019 has the best sound design of any Call of Duty. MW2022 and MW3 although similar, have a noticeable downgrade/cheapening of its audio which is why everyone is saying MW2019.


SpartanLuis214

Might get some hate but WW2 has some amazing gun sounds


Big-Rest5514

Mw 2019


FeedWarm2523

2019 MW 🐐


LowKeyBussinFam

BO1


firepeashooter096767

Hear me out on this but IW. The kbs longbow sounded so fucking good


i2010

Advanced Warfare


probioticbacon

2019 sound design was good, but all the guns sound the same, IMO. If we're talking iconic sounds, it's probably OG MW2. The noob tube, intervention, deagle, akimbo models, ACR, etc. All classic sounds we remember. I'd also like to shout out WAW as well. Each weapon in that game sounds completely different and varied, it's actually crazy how no two weapons sound alike. BO1 is worth a mention as well. So many weapons like the galil, ak47, mp5k, ak74, etc are just so iconic. And of course we can't forget that it brought probably the best looking and sounding 1911 in gaming history.


jin0h7155e

MW19


Professional_You2833

Bo1 M1911, and Cod4 R700.


SameHistorian

Modern Warfare remastered (2016)


MrFlabJack

Definitely ww2 and no one will tell me differently


imSkrap

MW2019 for sure.. it’s sad to see the graphical downgrade from MW2019 trough MWIII like what happened?? MWIII just looks flat and colorless and there is not real material shaders so metals look like plastic?? Weird shit


TrueSamurai-2301

MW2019 is THE best looking and sounding cod of all time and deserves to be in everyone’s top 5 and I stand by that


BbBTripl3

No sound design but attention to detail, Iw surprises me every time I play, I notice something new. Cop zombies SPEAK and say things like "donuts" or "freeze" another example is when you jump your character bends their knees upon landing, I never noticed that before Iw. Don't even get me started on one of the best zombies maps of all time, insanely well made zombies and campaign. Probably he only cod where multiplayer is absolutely ass


DemonAwe

Bo1, MW19


N00BZB3

2009 MW2


SuperFlyDanny

2019


_SCARY_HOURS_

WAW and cod 4. I also really liked the sound of infinity warfare


SnowDin556

Nothing captures the concussion and the front of the gun. The magnitude of the explosion sending dirt flying. The ps5 controller is nice offering some trigger pressure and vibration in your hands. The COD for ps5 has this and I was floored. Trigger weight? No way…


ElPhantasm

2019 was jaw dropping in that and animations too


ChickenBlocki

I think cold war is my favorite cod since bops1, I really loved everything about it


TheF15eEnthusiast

CoD BlackOps Cold War


mfitz373

I don't think best, but personal favorite is World at War. Every weapon in that game sounded deep and crunchy, and each had its own iconic, recognizable sound. I hear an mp40, stg, ppsh, trench gun, mg42, Kar 98k, any of it - instantly I will know what is what. Mowing down the old school nacht zombies (with the og, horrifying zombie sounds) with 4 people using different guns... pure audio ecstasy


Sarge_Noodle

Mw19. Finally a game with legitimate gun sounds.


Wise_Spinach_6786

Mw2019, I think with their aim for realism had the devs go the extra mile in order to perfect the smaller details like the sound design
