Launchers are often one of the most hated parts of any call of duty game after all
Nobody likes getting into honest gun fights and then getting absolutely destroyed by a huge explosion. They couldn't have avoided however
Not every launcher is created equal and today on the every cod series. We're going to be going from cod 4
all the way to modern warfare 2019
And checking out the worst launcher in every single game. What is up? Everybody chaos here. Welcome to the channel
Welcome to the video
You let me know in the comments
What your least favorite launcher in cod history is drop a like make sure you are subscribed with those notifications turned on
And let's get into some really bad launchers. Like I said starting off with cod 4
The problem is it's kind of not available. It actually only had one launcher. It was the rpg
also unlike later cod games
The rpg was a perk rather than an actual weapon the cod 4 rpg was strong
But also famously inaccurate as it would stay straight for a few meters before flying off in a random direction
Does anybody remember the days when rpg wasn't a total sniper and speaking of launcher perks?
Let's go to world at war not available again
Just like in cod 4 it had the launchers as a perk and there was only one the m9a1 bazooka
Like the rpg it was accurate up close but a total gamble passed mid-range and it was really only meant for cleaning off objectives
And blowing up tanks
So for cod foreign world at war I guess the launcher perk was both the best and the worst launcher in the game
But now that those two are out of the way
Let's get into some actual launchers modern warfare 2
the thumper
Now mw2 was the first cod game to actually put launchers in the secondary category and let you choose which one you wanted
Everybody knows the explosives in this game were super strong, but I think most people will agree
The weak link was the thumper
It was nearly identical in function to the noob tubes in modern warfare 2
But it was its own weapon instead of just being an attachment which meant you could aim down the sights with it
but other than that
It was pointless it hit hard if you were caught in the blast radius
But since it was a grenade launcher rather than a rocket launcher
you had to be a certain distance away from your target in order to make it explode and
You had to have a decent angle to get the right trajectory
The thumper wasn't horrible, but it was literally just a less mobile version of the noob tube
So nobody ran it black ops one the china lake speaking of terrible grenade launchers
This is one of the most infamous weapons in cod history because of its complete and utter
Pointlessness the china lake was a pump action grenade launcher that could carry two shots, though
I would kill with a direct impact the explosive damage was extremely unforgiving as the one shot radius
It was about three meters
Maybe the explosive would it would deal anywhere from 155 damage to 25 damage and it also did not help matters that this thing was
Pitifully slow with handling making you a sitting duck to anyone who saw you trying to use it. It was complete crap
I don't think anybody's going to argue with me saying it was the worst launcher in black ops modern warfare 3 the
m320 glm
shocker
Another grenade launcher. Are you guys sensing a little trend here now?
The m320 was definitely better than the thumper and it was better than the china lake
But it wasn't good and you never saw. It unlocked at level 64
It was once again basically just a full weapon version of a noob tube
But at least it didn't handle like a slug and quicksand this time
The blast radius was okay
but like I said
It was pretty much identical to an under barrel grenade launcher
So you could just run a noob tube save yourself the secondary weapon slot for something else and go about your way
It wasn't awful, but it was definitely the least used launcher in mw3
now we arrive at a pretty well balanced game black ops 2
And the small now keep in mind when I say the small was the worst launcher
I'm, not saying it was a bad weapon. It was just the least versatile of the bunch
It was a hybrid of the both lock-on and free fire and it would deal hefty damage to both streaks and players
however
The trade-off for its versatility was the fact you only got one
rocket
If you wanted to fire the small more than once you had to run scavenger and even if you were running scavenger
You could only hold a maximum of one reserve rocket at a time
it was a starter weapon as the rpg was much better in that game for use against enemies and the
Fhj was much better for use against killstreak
So even though the small was the worst launcher in black ops 2 it was not that bad of a weapon
It just wasn't very useful call of duty ghost the cast it now I don't even know if anybody remembers this
Another grenade launcher that functions like a noob tube
But has worse mobility launchers in general barely seen online and ghosted all because of the nature of the game
It was more about gunfights and most people weren't calling an aerial streak. So hardly anybody was running launchers to counter them
The castette was a single fire grenade launcher and it's unique in the sense that you don't have to be aiming down the sights
In order to fire it like other cod grenade launchers, but that's really the only good thing. It had going it's slow
It was awkward and you're much better off just using grenades
If you want explosive weapons in your arsenal advanced warfare the moz now, this was a killstreak in ghost
But it was brought back as a standard launcher in aw
Like in ghost the moz is a laser guided rocket launcher
but unlike ghosts the aw version only holds one rocket at a time and
You only get one reserve rocket and it takes three seconds to reload the thing and the rocket moves painfully slow plus
Since aw had jet packs people would just jump out of the way if they saw the moz rocket coming at him
It was crap. I know it. You know what everybody knows it
It was cool to look at and I guess on paper it was cool, but it didn't function now
We've arrived at black ops 3. The l4 siege now
This is a quad rocket launcher, and it should have been awesome
But in reality it wasn't it could fire four rockets rapid fire before reloading
But they came at a cost of damage
The blast radius was super small and you would have to hit someone two to three times or one direct
impact in order to kill them and as for taking down killstreaks well
The l4 siege actually did less damage than the other launchers in the game
Every other launcher could destroy uav with a single shot
but the l4 required two this lower damage meant the l4 siege gobbled up ammo and if you weren't running scavenger well
It was pretty much useless then to add insult to injury. This thing was a supply drop exclusive. Whoa. Whoa treyarch
Come on now infinite warfare the p-law
Yeah had some really cool weapon design and the p-lot definitely made you feel like a boss when you killed somebody with it
But it was pretty difficult to actually pull off. It was a charged energy launcher
Meaning you had to hold the trigger down for a second before it would fire. The projectile would travel pretty quickly
The blast radius was large but keep in mind. This was iw people were wall running thrust jumping everywhere. So a charged projectile weapon
That wasn't the best choice. Like I said, it was a cool weapon
And if you managed to hit somebody with it, you certainly felt like a beast
but if you were trying to get work done with launchers in this game well
The p-law was probably the worst cod world war ii the pandra shrek now
There's only two launchers in cod world war two the bazooka and the panzer
It was actually kind of hard to pick here because they both played their own role
The bazooka was better for taking out streaks since it fired straighter
But the panzer was better for taking out enemy players since it had a bigger blast radius
however
Both launchers came with extreme movement penalties and generally speaking
Using launchers offensively just wasn't the best call if you were carrying a launcher with you
It was going to be to shoot down a kill streak, which is much better to take the bazooka
The panzer was largely unused in cod world war ii most people just used it to get gold camo
and then they never touched it again black ops 4
The hellion salvo now annoyingly enough black ops 4 only had one launcher
Everybody knows that it had serious content problems and that being there was no content, but this is one issue
That was never remedied the hellion salvo was the only launcher in bo4
Through its entire life cycle. It wasn't a bad launcher
It was free fire lock on you would deal decent damage to both streets and players and it's currently the only launcher in cod history
They had attachments
However, it's the best and the worst launcher at the same time because guess what? Like I said, it's only one launcher
Let's hope treyarch's next game
Has more than one launcher and finally modern warfare 2019 the strella p wasn't a hard choice
All the launchers in this game have their place in the sandbox
But the strella p is kind of just sitting there you have the joker for lock on the rpg for free
Fire the pila for a hybrid but then you have the strela p which is a free fire launcher
But with a faster projectile speed it's a weird shot delay when you pull the trigger, which makes it awkward
Maybe i'm being cynical, but if you ask me the strela p is quite literally just the worst version of the rpg
It's supposed to be for destroying kill streaks really effectively
But with the lack of a lock on and the weird delay when you pull the trigger
You're better off just using the joker or the pila then if you're looking for a launcher to use against players
You're better off using the peeler or the rpg the strella p it's kind of pointless and there you have it
That's the worst launcher in every single call of duty up until this point
Let me know if you agree or disagree drop a like and i'll see you soon
You
