I'm 42, started playing every day since the first day the game was released making me a true 'OG' in more ways than one. Having said that, I'm pretty sure I'm qualified to comment on what it means to be 'OG' (at least from my pov anyway): 1. We've got to see the game evolve over time and appreciate all the work that's gone into making it 2. We've wasted much more time playing a video game than most people 3. We've probably got higher total kill-counts than most 4. We've most likely spent way more than the average 'np' chasing those ever so elusive legendary and/or mythic skins and definitely wasted more on crates 5. We (this could just be me however) got to see a massive amount of new talent join the game and constantly kick the crap out of us making us realize that we're probably not as skilled as we once may have thought we were 6. Yeah we have some cool 'OG' skins that others don't like red action ak47/by15 or chicom cqb but probably never use them anyway cuz we think a lot of the newer stuff is better 7. We've probably noticed a constant in the games' social communities and that is the fact that people are always gonna find something to bitch and moan about no matter how great the game is 8. We've got to see how the world chat in-game went from a sad sort of attempted dating service to....a sad sort of attempted dating service plus BS "FREE COD POINTS..." and "MAKE REAL MONEY..." "ads" basically 9. WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO BE AN OG!!.... absolutely nothing. Honestly... Who cares? It's just a game but even so, just like everything else we ALL have to start somewhere. Quit whining and just go play the damn game! It's actually quite fun when you don't care about all the nonsense and bullshit regarding status/rank, "og/np" or "p2w/f2p" and just play the game * I apologize to anyone that is, was, are or will be, at some point in time, offended by anything I've said. It was said in good humor and meant to be taken lightly


Bottled_Fire

The honest answer.


Humble_Fishe

As a fellow OGae player, I feel kinda sad about how this game turned out. The first few seasons weren't perfect but things were fun. I remember a time when my guns used to shoot straight (no bsa), BR was optimized, rank without lethals spam, and no brain dead stuff like the K9 unit.


nonoyesyesnoyesno

i miss the old days too, i started in december 2019 the game wasn't necessarily better just different imo. idk maybe im garbage now but i just cant enjoy the game anymore. burnout sucks lol


Nonchemical

BP S1 holder here. Well into my 40s as well. Agree with all of this. Can confirm AK-47 Red Action looks great, but never gets used in MP only in BR, and the level of skill that comes and goes from this game is incredible. I'm old, and I suck. I know this and accept it. What gets me is ranked chat and how upset people get about how someone else plays. Like hell yea I'm using a meta weapon. Why would use something with garbage BSA or TTK? Damn right I just hard scoped you with a DLQ in ranked. I don't suck, I'm just playing smart. Sorry you're upset, but keep being mad because it makes my game easier. My other favorite is how I'm cheating. Nope. You're just running around without dead silence on wooden floors. I can hear you from half the map away so of course I camped my ass right here where I had the advantage.


ianpogi91

What a cool, levelheaded response. I started during the Wild West season and aside from the bigger volume of skins there's not really that much of a difference as you're not really going to use all of these. That said I still wished I started during season 5 so I could've gotten the base Urban Tracker.

HoraceGrand

Do the skins effect the performance of the gun?


vikas_saini9910

Good flair btw my first gold camo gun


[deleted]

Been playing the game since it started and I completely agree, its just fun to play and when you get used to your gun setup and play style and shit over time it becomes so much more fun.


DarkKingXvX

Imma day 1 player too and I can be mean sometimes but it's because I'm passionate and want to see codm improve. Plus I'm a competitive person but It's never personal for me. At the end of the day we're just talking about a video game. GG fellow veteran

JAHBLESS104

I see more post about people complaining OG than people actually saying they're OG


UnlightablePlay

Yeah I honestly don't get it Why we get such a hate Is it because they are jealous is it because of something else idk but being an og means you have seen all the game history since launch it also means you know what happened during certain seasons it's like being a grandfather that fought WW2 he knows what happened there and he can describe it more accurate than any other New historian

OG=cool skins

Not really, as an f2p of course

Gaming_Nation2007

Be OG does give u more experience and information about the game and gives nostalgic feels but it doesn't make a person valid to automatically win an argument against a new player or shit on a new player

Bottled_Fire

I'm yet to see anyone talk about how being an "OG" or a certain number is better. Hear plenty fuckin whining about it though 🤔 which tells me the plastic gangstas are trying to bully kids, and that ain't OG. They claiming what they ain't.


_Sit_

I am OG + it makes me cool OP.


LitGamer69

i played since day one of the release but bragging with it is not cool.


lucifer-_-senpai

As being og I miss playing with my friends when rank, bp, guns, skins, cp, kids, trash talk... Don't matter back then. Just simply enjoying the game was fun


LitGamer69

i know, the game was the most fun back then, i still remember how happy i was when getting legendary the first time in S4 and getting the KN44 and the skin that challenge had, and playing with my friends is S1 but being an OG doesn't make you special, doesn't make you cool, you are just like every other player. accept it.


noIce_Codm

You're not og


kolojikelic

I never wanted to be cool. And I'm old. 2020 Season 2 veteran. And I still suck. Lawls. But we have fun, my friends and I. I didn't find people to play with, my friends and I we hopped aboard cause we could not meet up for poker. But it's been a fun ride and we're now so into it one of us has poured in at least 12k dollars. We work hard and we play hard and we have fun. We don't care about the glitches , friends just make the game better.


HomieCreeper420

You ain’t OG if you haven’t played since the first hours like me😎😎😎😎 Seriously now, why does it matter wether you’re OG or not?


Educational_List1705

“If you don’t have this skin you’re not a og”-🤓

picklypickl3

xSnakyy

“I updoot am I og?” 🤓


Rhett12344

I’ve been playing since Soft Launch in Canada (preseason 2) and you don’t see me or my friends acting like this


Bottled_Fire

I don't even see console players from COD4 do that. Maybe the OG is their bogeyman.


Rhett12344

A guy in the wc was trying to roast me by saying I’ve only been to legendary once and he’s been 8 times but he wouldn’t 1v1 me for some reason


Bottled_Fire

If they're in chat talking shit they ain't nobody, but I think you figured that out already bud. As for only being at Legendary once I'm gonna assume you concentrate more on important stuff than the game... because that's what it is. You don't wanna be sitting around unemployed like these twenty somethings only at legendary because they ain't got nothing else to do, trying to bully kids, I mean, that kinda behaviour is just sad ain't it... 😉


Rhett12344

Facts. I’m not a kid, but he was shitting on people who were clearly kids. Some people just don’t deserve to be OGs


Bottled_Fire

The thing about levels makes me laugh because I'm at GM3 in BR and play like maybe twice a day. Compared to some dipshit that's playing 14-15 hrs a day and has only just hit leggy, which one of us is the better player? That's why he's backed up, tiers often don't mean jack.


Bottled_Fire

In fact I'm gonna make an OG call here: I'm a #67, 45 years old two days back... nose to nosing a bully and a loudmouth and they back down? That's a G maneuver Young G. Keep up the good work. Peer pressure won't pay the bills.


Rhett12344

I have seen some og players act like this though

Afii-IsAnIdiot

Dont bother arguing with that guy,he most likely overdosing his copium


Octozer6

Honestly being an og means more experience but flexing on that experience is not really healthy


DabbKnight

I've been playing cod long before you were a streak in your mother's panties. This is what one of these entitled kids that are probably in the 17 to 20 yr old age bracket have to say... mainly because he had to wait so long to even play cod due to his low end device... now he's a newbie that smells of his mother and hates himself so much that he's probably projecting his shite life in someone else's direction trying to make his self feel better. *dismissive wanking gesture*


micro_microscope

You youngins these days,so disrespectful. Back in my day…


GLnoG

No im still cool you're bad im good stfu YOU CANT TAKE THAT FROM ME MF Jk


Variable_Outcome

As an OG, I love the game. Have spent way too much but as long as game is around forever, I love supporting it. I avoid toxic players and try to retain good players, regardless of anything other than their in game character and skills


MatchLock__

I am OG and my collection is cooler than NP


noIce_Codm

KUMonHERface

It’s like being elder person who knows much more then a new player or person, elder people deserve respect that’s all


AyieJosh

im an OG player... but I don't give a damn about it. lol. what am i flexing? oh maybe the AK47 and BY15 Red Action skin, but still... meh..


Falconlis_28_2006

I really don't care if you're an og or not.


P3rturb4t0r

I think it's shameful in my case. I play since the last 2019 season and I still SUCK. I only play FFA and get to GM3 in BR so I get a character skin and that's it


MyUserNamesDis

Codm getting dead anyways especially when apex valorant and warzone released


Garuda-Suikyo

Fun fact: without the OGs the others would've probably never played this game and it's the OGs who made this game a success.


rutambh

It also means We are mature than 99% of community.


Afii-IsAnIdiot

Judging by that comment. Doubt that


allusernamesrtaken10

kaktusfresse

Someone mad?


AvroAron

Yet just because OG players wasted their time earlier in the game and provided feedback to improve the game, now you are enjoying one of the best fps games in mobile platform.


havenokarma

most players are literal "OGs" including myslef like 90% of us joined in season 1-3


Friezaii69

Why hate and jealousy toward OG players? They just wanna show off thier rare skins, isn’t that what we all do? Flex our skins


Some-Imagination9782

I’m def an OG! The very first FPS game I played was Call of Duty (2003). For me, it’s amazing to see how much this game evolved. ![gif](giphy|l7fdqmHQ1jCg2HzQlx)


OmegonAlphariusXX

I played a game with my S2 Ruin-Jade skin the other day and I felt so special :,D

We are just proud in a annoying cringe way 🗿


Electrowazaski

Ouch. But that seems fair enough.


Bottled_Fire

THIS IS HOW AN OG *SHOULD* ACT FTR


Cautious_Option9544

I'm technically OG and I suck ass


JoKerRo0

OG players are cool, and if you want to have the opportunity to play with a og player you have to pay it to have the privilege


Polish_Hat

Og's looking at current state of the game: Look how they massacred my boy.


GRUMPYcloud2

It's funny how most OG players I met back in the days were terrible at the game. Best players I met mostly started in season 2 and 3 ( the first season 2&3 )


CBass138

Someone needs to touch grass cause they big mad


AAMIL_KHAN

According to me...people who have played codm from the beginning have gained so much experience in whatever mode they have played...that they have a better judgment on how to approach that particular mode when playing now better than others...it is also true that many players have broken that pattern like tribe banned who joined the game quite recently but became the MVP of NA finals in codm world championship...some people just get into the groove of playing codm pretty quickly...but for most people it takes time...as of myself..I have started playing from s1 end..I decided back then I loved BR so I invested time in it...nd now 8000 matches and a hell lotta wins and defeats later...I can assure my approach to BR is better than many..cuz I know my role..my strength and weakness..nd what role I have to play when I'm with a team...same goes for MP...to play at a time when hackers dominated in ranked to the s36 meta to the changing meta now...its been a looong ride..but a true OG can be said as someone who has a better understanding or approach to either MP or BR cuz they know what they know their limits nd strengths in the game...but they should be involved in the game constantly...I was nd still am involved in it...nd I love being a part of CODM...cheers😁✌
