@Frank I remember looking at all the photos of my grandparents time in WW2 and didn’t notice any women or blacks in the photos but that’s because they were obviously the ones always taking the photos either that or they were to bust actually winning the war while my old Cis white grandfathers had nothing better to do then stand around taking photos
@@teabaganyone7830 Or maybe because more white men than blacks and women fought in the war. Nah, can't be, we have to blame the white men who have fought for their country by giving their lives instead of using logic.
@@teabaganyone7830 Oh yeah, have to add cis and straight cus god forbid someone had a happy family life and was pulled out of it because they were drafted onto a battlefield and made pictures to memorize them should they fall and be buried in a nameless hole.
@Teabag anyone you do realize segregation was still a thing in the 30's and 40's? It shouldn't surprise you at all that seeing only white people or only black people in those pictures. But no, you look for a reason to be triggered without using logic. No surprise there, smh
You sir, are the perfect person to deliver this review of this terrible game. I gave up on COD a long time ago. Your choice of words an demeanor perfectly capture why.
Oy can you fix my toilet. Uncle Barry took a fat shit in it and when we try to flush it all comes up and spilt all over my Tims boots. I’ll give you a tenner for every hour it takes to fix that fucking thing.
The real issue is that videogame writers are writing school rejects. They didn't get hired for film or TV so they settled for an industry full of nerds that can be bullied into doing what you want.
The diversity is ridiculous. In BF2042 the medic is a 50 yr old woman who is supposedly also a special forces operator. I was in the united states army for 8 years, anyone over 50 is not in the fight anymore. They either retire or get so high in rank they are no longer on the front lines. These game companies have zero respect for reality.
They're putting in all this diversity to please a few Twitter armchair Warriors who won't even play their games anyway. Haven't they learned that woke media is dying they just keep making it and they're wondering why their sales go through the floor
@@redseagaming7832 Your right and ive been saying the same thing about twitter. I swear so many people think its the pulse of the nation but i hear only 18% of all people use twitter. And im pretty damn sure most of those people are celebrities or so called youtube "journalists". What gets me though is the fact the keep making things that bomb and just keep losing money over and over. I will never understand how the people in charge are ok with loss after loss.
Thanks for your service! Glad to see some people who've served point out the stupidity that call of woke cryguard and battlewoke: 1984 are wearing as a badge of honor
They’ve used their little excuse of the conflicts taking place between 2 ‘hired mercenary groups’ rather than 2 countries militaries going head to head, that’s their green light to throw in whoever vs whoever battles. Despite still marking the 2 teams as the US and Russia, it makes no sense whatsoever but as long as DICE can sell their skins and cram characters in battle passes they’re happy.
What happened within those 20 years that influenced gaming? Woke rabid college educated leftists spread across Europe and N. America. Then got into leadership positions in the gaming industry or forced those in leadership positions to accept woke ideology, or else.

People seem to have forgotten about the team of female, prosthetic limbed US Rangers who were only recruited from west Africa and Indian/west asiatic countries, and were all trained in hand to hand combat. Of course the unit was entirely fictional so…..
Don't forget the also British team which only let people with prosthetic to participate, while use barbed wire cricket bats, and acting all cheer and not giving a flak about the battle. No, wait, that didn't happen.
And the sad part is that, there are amaizing storys with females in world war 2, that could be used to create games, movies, anime, books and more, the problem is, well you see. The nigth witches, an all female bombadier team, that operated in real life, and they were fear, and sometimes respected more by the germans than the soviets, because they literaly, turn off the engines of theyre bombers to glide in silence and the enemy dont get away and remember these are not modern bombers that have a nice chance to turn the engines on after turn them off, you have a lot of female snipers in the soviet part too, and sometimes you can have even soviet female tank pilots, not kidding tank crew with all female crew, of course those were very very few. Look all these examples that could be used for games, and more, but they dont do them because they want representation in the correct places, they dont want equality or anything, they want to replace and re write story, in a total disrespect and mokery of story

Netaji Bose and his INA were Axis vassals fighting against the Allies!! Maybe we can throw historical accuracy out the window then. As someone that took a college elective specifically for WW2, and having done extensive study on the war, this game was painful to play through
@@lorenzomosca5655 I'm assuming that the North African Campaign was mostly against Italian forces as German troops were only there to provide support for the Italian Army?
Regarding the language censorship: this is a game who's primary goal is the user killing other users but your loadout can't be named "murder machine"... Don't purchase this game on the inappropriate censorship alone.
I wonder if i coud Name a loadout: bonzai motherfucker!!! Its my go to Name for a loadout with a one shot sniper in it. ( my buddy made one in titanfall 2 when trying it out on my console and i always make one now)
Honestly the worse thing about the censorship is it can impact learning. Think of how many kids got into WW2 cuz early COD and Medal of Honor? The rewriting history is actually dangerous. There’s too many people who won’t learn about the real WW2 who’s only exposure to it is school they didn’t care for for a week lecture, or movies and video games
@@arighteousname5882 And even then, since you wanna act like a pompous ass fuck, let me ask you this, why make a “WW2 game” if you’re just gonna bastardize it and shit all over the real history?
imagine a future where you are hooked up to a machine to only play team Fortress 2 forever, and you are supplied food through a tube stuck in your ass> that's to keep you in game forever without pause and the more points you make the more food you cvan have inserted in your ass
If you want to find yourself reflected in ww2 by your gender and race, you WILL find it (Russian women on thefront line, Brazilian expeditionary force fighting the axis, Black and Indian troops in the Pacificand Europe etc etc), but forcing a square peg into a round hole instead of diversifying your STORIES over characters is disrespectful to history and those who died and lazy.
@@AlexKS1992 exactly! Non historians doing some reading and making a whole game (who then have the balls to lecture about the message) and this is what you get. I could write a more inclusive and accurate game plot and characters in a day.
On the other hand, it's a remarkable achievement that a single video game perfectly encapsulates absolutely everything that is wrong with modern society and politics. No need to spend months researching the woke madness around us. Just play this game and know everything you're up against. As a WW2 game, this historian and researcher of 30 years can't believe the garbage presented by Activision. It's actually sickening.
Its just a fuckin game they who cares if its historically accurate u think the atomic camo is "accurate". Broken servers and lagging is an issue but the way u say diversity is pretty cringe ngl
@@nikotheophanis8795 honestly it would have to be inaccurate to a certain degree to make it a COD game. It doesn't anger me to see a African American or females in the game it just seems like that all they focused on. Not making the best game they possibly could instead shilling for the left. They could have made a Vietnam game or a Korean war game but that wouldn't go with there narrative. Asians are on a pedestal now because Covid came from a Asian country.
Wokeness in this game was too much that it made Kotaku call it "an insult to ww2" reminder that these are the same guys who defended Battlefield V. Kinda hilarious how things can turn am I right?
Kotaku is awful. The trans chick who does some of the reviews was horrified by the game Greedfall and stated she didn't know if she could write a proper opinion about a game that glorifies the colonization and conversion of indigenous savages on a remote and magical island.
@@Machiave11i Sounds like the guy who criticized Marvel's Spider-Man because the game "glorifies the police in the BLM era." Even though forgetting the very first mission of the game is Spider-Man dealing with crooked cops.
To be fair compared to BFV is a masterpiece. I remember playing Vanguard and saying "Man, I can't believe I hated on BFV so bad and now this garbage comes out" like literally at least BFV has the Axis side in the war, something Vanguard didn't do.
@@MAR-pj7pq if it has Japanese women wielding katanas doing banzai attacks it's far from a fucking master piece friend.

Compared to this crackpot of a game Vanguard, World at War made you experience the second world war the way it should be: gruesome, brutal, the story of humanity hell bent on killing each other. From burning Japanese alive with a flamethrower, watching your squadmate's throat get slitted in front of you, to the Nazis murdering survivors in a fountain in Stalingrad and the vengeance of the Red Army against any Nazi they see. Perhaps that's what made World at War so good: it makes you see and commit questionable actions to make you understand that war is bad and we should do everything to stop it. Not this kind of hodgepodge pushing an agenda no worse than the extremes on the other side.

@@hydrolox3953 exactly and fantasy gear worn, that call of duty para officer wearing a leather WW1 Cavalry/RHA bandolier.....Jesus look at reference will you developers
@@johndodo2062 It didn't. It did a large part of the work, but not all of it. Britain fought the Nazis in the desert, the Soviets on the eastern front and the Americans provided lend lease stuff (a lot actually) and did most of the fighting on the western front.
@@hydrolox3953 Er, America did not do a majority of the fighting on the Western front. First off they only really showed up in 1944 and their airforce 43. Secondly DDAY was entirely planned by the British commonwealth, all the logistics/artillery/air support/naval operations was British commonwealth. 3/5 beaches were taken by British commonwealth and Omaha wasnt any harder than any other beach. DDAY didn’t even require the US to be there - that was a later plan, there were 124 commonwealth divisions ready the two who took Omaha + Utah weren’t “needed” so to speak. The U.K. discounting colonies and lend lease produced 3x as many tanks - and generally better tanks, 2x as many planes - and the spitfire was year on year the fastest piston engines fighter of the war until the P-47M in 1945 - and 4x the naval vessels. No, I’m not discounting the American contribution, but it was just that, a contribution. The view the British were a minor underdog who bravely stood against a massive Nazi reich is false - and painted by the British press after the war. The U.K. was the largest empire and combined economy and manufacturing base in the entire world - the U.K. outproduced Germany to such an extent there was zero hope of Germany winning after 1940. The Manhattan project (the research portion) was almost entirely done by the U.K. (American industry was crucial to manufacture the entire bomb - but the U.K. basically wrote the “instructions”. It was estimated enough atomb bombs would be ready using Belgian Congo uranium by the 1947 to defeat the Nazis. As I said the British manufacturing base was far larger than the Nazis - and after RAF bombing started (destroying 40% of Nazi factories, and nearly half of all the war materiel produced by the Nazis were spent just against the RAF not even including the USSR or USAAF). The Royal Naval blockade created all of Germanys resource issues throughout the war. They were starving in winter 1940 and after securing the largest arms for grain deal with the USSR in history they invaded because the Nazis were broke and had no hope of economic survival but through conquest. 17 Million British soldiers fought in the war, this doesn’t include the colossal contribution made by Canada, Australia, India (which assembled the largest volunteer only army in history of 2.5 million troops), New Zealand, South Africa, Rhodesia, and other commonwealth territories. The idea the UK did any less than the US in WWII is patently false, and the UK is the only one of the “main powers” without who the war would have been unwinnable - regardless of that only being the fact for the USA because they needed an unsinkable launching pad lol. 40% of Russian medium and heavy tanks available in 1941 and 1942 were British made tanks. Moscow, St Petersburg, and Stalingrad would certainly have fallen without them. And finally, No, I’m not denigrating what the US did, all I’m saying is acting like the U.K. was “saved” when the war was being won by December 1941 or that America did everything or even more is insulting. American civilians didn’t die in the war (well, 8 did). I could very obviously list all the accomplishments the Americans made in the war here and it would be pages long. Their resources they provided were absolutely crucial and they did the vast majority of the work against Japan. However they certainly didn’t do more on the western front - the fact nearly half the Nazi economy was producing AA guns, ammunition, aircraft, and repairing buildings to counter solely RAF bombings proves this. No, I’m not anti American, I am American however havw U.K. citizenship as well and have spent 10 years of my life there and the lack of knowledge and care amongst a minority of Americans for what the UK actually did during WWII is shocking considering without them Europe would now be controlled by Nazis.
For those who saw this comment and didn't understand why reloading a Panzerfaust is bad. Its a single shot disposable weapon, you need to change the trigger mechanism itself to be able to fire at again than just reloading it
My brother-in-law buys the game every year to see the accuracy and storytelling (US Army Veteran and degree in History). He said that Vanguard is the worst COD game he's ever played, including Ghosts. When I saw Sam Maggs was one of the writers I avoided this game like London prostitutes avoided the dark alleys in 1888.
“Cosby suite” gun class Oh my god, activision management should burn for their conduct. I feel sorry for all staff that have suffered under their creepy regime. But that gun class made me laugh out loud

@@sortofanoakyafterbirth3661 I expect even the COD devs are aware that the SS had standards. As disgusting and vile as they were. They would've laughed at that fat oaf then shot him.
A point of fascination for many people and historians alike has been the role of women in the Holocaust, specifically female members of the SS and the Nazi party. Due to the stereotyping of women throughout history, many have been utterly shocked by the actions of female Nazi guards because, other than the actions being unspeakable, they were simply female. This, of course, is a pretty outdated view as evil has no gender and it is perfectly plausible for the perpetrators to be male or female. There were actually a lot of female SS Guards(around 3500 total in the Camps) , here a few notable names= Irma Grese, Maria Mandl
I, too, remember when the Nazi's at the height of World War 2 said "You know what? We're sorry for how we're treating minorities. As of now, all racial and ethnic discrimination will end! Along with gender roles! Now, we will push Black Female French soldiers onto our frontlines to dismantle the racist oppressors known as Roosevelt and Churchill! We're all in this together! We're doing this in the name of diversity and inclusion!"
Not that far from the truth, the german army had a division of anticommunist russians, a division of indians who weren't fond of the brits, a division of arabs and iraqis....Italy had somalis, lubiana, albanians and eritreans, japan had vietnamese, mongolians, more indians, filipinos....the axis powers were quite multicultural, all these people joined the axis to fight off their colonizers, if yoi asked them they would have told you that Churchill was indeed the opressor
Your spot on analysis of what happens when brazen hypocrisy meets stunning levels of deliberate ignorance in a video game lights a small matchstick sized flame in the cold dead cockles of my heart. This review is one of your best ever, hands (tied) down. Now go feed the hostages.
Yet there’s still people who think intersectionality trash isn’t being crowbarred into every piece of modern entertainment in order to spread THE MESSAGE.
You’re absolutely right: video games, movies, shows, etc do this stuff because it allows them to preemptively label any critic a racist. If you dare to criticize anything about it, you must be a horrible person.
Leftwing poopoolitics +narcissism breeds... This. Is just imbeciles hiding shit from their work place with fake activism Btw, Not related to your (fair) criticism but... I like your pfp doggy ♥
I've been shit talking this game and listening to others do the same since launch, and until this video with it's weird obsession with criticising women and black people being present, it never even occurred to me that racism might factor into it. But here I am watching someone criticise the presence of black people...
@@maus6967 watch any review of Santa Inc. Apparently lowest rated TV series of all time with a 3% on rotten tomatoes.

U.S. soldiers were trained to one handed "point shoot" the 1911. Which is why the sights on them were practically nonexistent. The idea was the range you were likely going to be using it it was faster to just point your hand center mass dump 2 rounds and swing to the next poor sap changing your flank.
Point Shooting did exist before the 1911. "Which is why the sights on them are practically nonexistent." Ignorance and delusion beyond belief. The OSS for example, learnt Point Shooting from Applegate many years after the 1911 was designed. Your absurd belief about the 1911s sights are incorrect, as is your assertion that 1911s were designed just for this.
Thank you Shane. I saw another youtuber use the Drinkers now meme-worthy sound bite, so I didn't think it would be too cheeky to do the same. Besides, I think he is encountering the same shit over in the world of film in TV, as we are encountering in games.

Verdun is a game that knows how to display diversity while respecting history by only including non-white units that actually fought on the Western Front in WW1, and by having them in their own separate faction with their own uniforms. This way, you get your diversity without turning half the British Army into Indians, and seemingly the entire German Army into Africans. Seriously, was I the only one who noticed that in Battlefield 1? I am hard pressed to remember a single white German in the multiplayer.
Only 150,000 colonial African troops fought for Britain in ww1 and was represented as a quarter of the British division. I assume there were even less African colonial troops who fought for Germany considering Germany barely had any African colonies, yet in bf1 they represented a quarter of Germany’s division

My favorite thing about :inclusion" is that it in practice, excludes people. Which makes it contradict itself. Banning other people's thoughts (even racists and supremacists) because it may exclude a group of people, in turn excludes a group of people because they think differently, which is exactly what they claimed to be attempting to stop. The idea is an oxymoron with emphasis on moron. There will always be people that think differently. There will always be bad people. Deal with it.
@@AirLancer no, that's the problem. They didn't. Woke people hide behind their own made up superiority complex which just makes them hypocritical. They tried using a bandaid to stop cancer and it's just making things worse.

Nah racists and supremacists don’t deserve any platforms or places to think they deserve to be put down. See this is what’s wrong with the whole freedom of speech and “the woke are taking over” groups. You think racists and people like them don’t deserve to be shut out because if the left say they want to be inclusive that apparently means they have to include racists?? Life isn’t that linear and that’s why there’s such a big divide because you act like if there can’t be any grey areas or exceptions
Devs (and moviemakers) need to realize that if you have good characters, whether they're black or white, all races will be able to identify with them (not that they need to. A good story can be enjoyed without having to see yourself in the mix). Maybe humans aren't as complex as we'd like to believe, but they sure as hell are a lot more complex than money grubbing devs think they are
People nowadays need to see this or that character, they need to be told your race did this, or your race or group or whatever gender was in that moment, because people nowadays doesn't know how to think, they can't think, their little brains can't process information, and they don't want to bother in looking for that information or knowledge. THEY NEED SOMEONE TO TELL TO THEM DO THIS, ACT LIKE THIS AND THINK LIKE THIS. No wonder you have tiktok and lot of social media full of "influencers" telling to people how to cure this disease, how to treat that wound, how to react against a robbery, how to react in a fire, what could happen if one engine in a plane fails, that the roman empire never existed, or that the earth is flat, and thousands of people following them and believe them and spreading false and dangerous information as well.
@@jabo109 I believe most humans are followers by design. It's how both good and bad societies were allowed to exist over the years. If the majority of people were free thinkers and rebels, stability wouldn't be able to be achieved. You're totally right about the tiktok stuff, and the media influencer, though I think this innate need to be told to do things, and to be told how to think, has always been something humans have had. Social media and the quick fix culture has only amplified this. We're all followers one way or another, some more so then others. I might be a follower myself. You might be a follower as well. You can only say you aren't when you've been in situations where that was put to the test. But most people will always be followers, and this is by design for th e reasons stated previously.
@@NigelUltra Oh yeah, I agree that more or less everyone is a follower, I'm a follower too, but I take the job to research a little to see if what they tell me is true or not. Since school they turn you into a follower, but when you grow up, a lot of times you learn new stuff and you realize that this or that teacher told you this, but chose to hide that. Sadly my country (Argentina) is a clear example of this, where you have ppl and politicians that tell one story and majority accept it without even checking the facts. But there's always room and time for improvement, and not everyone wants to do it.
@@jabo109 So your an informed follower. You will default to following someone else’s lead, but you always check to make sure who you follow is worthy of it.
Remember how in CoD 1 when you did the Russian campaign you played unique characters that made you feel the natural world around you. Where the Russians spoke your game setting to immerse you but the Germans still spoke German, so you felt the immersion of foreign invaders, or how about the fact you played a female Sniper in that one? Call of duty literally feels like a parable of study to be examined as it has fallen.

And not just that - in multiplayer, there are no nazis, since you don't fight for a 'side', it's just team Red and team Blue. The characters in multiplayer are all allies, none of them are Wermacht. The multiplayer is literally allies slaughtering each other, with no actual nazis present. I'd call that a very deep and insightful satire about how today's political discussions devolve into people, who by logic should be on the same side, violently fighting each other for no reason - but that would be giving the devs of this trash game too much credit.

In the last two years I have found myself being especially nostalgic for MY early days of PC gaming when I was in my twenties and DooM just came out and all the great 90's Shooters of that time. What an exciting period to be a gamer. All devs were "indie" back then and just making great games with unique experiences and seemingly having a great time doing it... back then the money was a by product of passionate, creative people making a great game and now it is quite the opposite. I feel very lucky to have been around back in that time AND be the perfect age to experience and appreciate all those great moments as they happened... of course the main caveat to that is that I am a crusty old bastard now.. Great video Kilo. Much respect to you
Thank you mate. And dont knock being a crusty old bastard. It means you can be grumpy with a sense of authority. Im making a video soon about GOOD games. Believe it or not .... they still exist!
When I was a little kid I loved watching my dad play Doom on his Windows 95 computer. It's fun playing doom on my PS4 Doom I game with no political correctness no agendas just get out there and shoot some demons. Just like bloodborne just go out there and kill a few beasts is for your own good
Vanguard is the most realistic game ever, my grandmother stormed the beaches of normandie, then she hijacked the HO 229 from a airfield in Germany, while under allied attack! Wait, I might be thinking of something else;)
Probably THE best video I’ve watched on RUclips in 2 years. I was never going to buy the game. I just couldn’t see how the modern COD franchise could do any justice to one of the most terrible times in history. It’s such a bloody shame this is what our world has come to. You summed it up beautifully when you said “a classroom that makes all the white kids sit on one side while telling them, they’re the oppressors.” It’s absurd. God bless all those who lost/gave their lives during the Second World War. Black, white, Asian, whatever colour, sex, religion they were. We will make sure your death wasn’t in vain and overcome this absurd shit storm that now faces the ‘free’ world.
read the scholarly article on this topic titled The pedagogy of discomfort. It will you will more fully understand where this is coming from or at least get a glimpse into the mind of its perpetrators. The kind of trick parents into thinking they're NOT pushing critical theory in schools and can get away with that behavior you brought up because they are not pushing critical theory by teaching critical theory. Because critical theory must have praxis, meaning it must be practiced it must be carried ou through action... They don't want to teach our kids critical theory they want to do critical theory on our children.
Been following your channel since the early days of division 1 And noone comes close to the quality you have in your vids I even watch for games I don't play cause I enjoy a good laugh But laughs aside you're saving people money on bad purchases with honest reviews Keep up the fine quality content It's very much enjoyed!
Dude, as an American, I fully understand how important the Britts were in WW2 and for them to be left out of a WW2 game is absolutely a personal jab from someone. You can bet on it. Has Britain done anything lately to anger SJWs? This seriously bugs me. Britain was there, beside the other allies fighting the Nazi scum. WTF are you guys not included in this?
Magnificent video, as a history major with both of my grandfathers serving in the second world war I found this subversion of the facts abhorrent and disgusting.
If you have a major in History you'd know about the Free Arabian Legion which had 6,500 Muslims, black people, and other ethnic minorities, or the female Russian sniper with 242 confirmed kills. Remembering this is a video game and not part of an academic historical work I can't work out why you are surprised or expect historical accuracies. I admit, the lack of British involvement in the game a bit irritating, with my English Grandparents serving...but it's a GAME ffs..
Bruh they dont even do the really well known ones justice. The stalingrad levels are litteraly assassins creed fps and the d day level is you being an absolute mongaloid giving orders that would get a real life officer fragged right then and there.
There have been numerous examples in entertainment industry where attempting wokeness has failed, especially disney star wars. So why are companies still pursuing wokeness to this extreme degree
I was watching Activision address their stockholders a few years back. They quoted a statistic about how much time the average player is spending in game. I think nonsense like the MVP vote isn't to make people feel better, I think it's to keep people in the game for longer. I also think the lobbies disbanding after each match has a ton to do with this as well.
What’s funny I read a while ago that stockholders were concerned that Activision wasn’t selling enough games maybe 10 years back. What caught the stockholders attention was Activision’s decision to pull the plug on Guitar Hero and they noticed Activision didn’t have as much IPs compared to EA, TAKE-TWO and Ubisoft and said they shouldn’t rely on COD.
You know your game is shit when you have the rushers and the campers agreeing that your game is shit, and not blaming eachother for the game being shit.
I would sue Acti-Blizzard for inflicting you with PTSD. Two hours of the Beta made my retinas bleed while lowering my IQ a standard deviation every 10 minutes.
My favorite was Arthur our main charecter/ leader we ate supposed to respect not only sends a bunch of people face first at machineguns but later on is loudly discussing their escape plans right next to nazi guards and the interrogator MULTIPLE TIMES that we already know speak english. Then the very very end where they shoehorn in the 3 lines tieing every call of duty together and zombies as canon. In world at war litteraly nobody cared you could play as japanese or wermacht soldiers but in multiplayer you can only be allied soldiers. Both the japanese guy and german girl are traitors. just f off
The best ww2 story told by a game imo is call of duty world at war, it even let you simpathize with Russians, and you know how Activision and cod devs in general blame Russians randomly
Yeah Call of Duty: Ghosts was the beginning on the CoD's decline in my opinion. Ever since then it just hasn't been the same and I haven't really been into the franchise. Black Ops 1 is in my opinion the best CoD game of all-time. Amazing campaign, badass multiplayer with awesome maps and game modes (gun game/sticks and stones), weapon selection as well as zombies. All around fantastic game.
Everybody talks about black ops because it’s one of the only ones they got to play and can remember.... World at War and Modern Warfare (the OG) were the best....that’s including COD 3 as well
I wish we could get a WW1 or 2 game that has you play the enemy to teach history from the other side as well. Make it show the atrocities, their victories, iconic soldiers, etc. I think something like that would be very good at teaching about both wars and help us prevent from going back to that degree or barbarism via teaching the why and how of it.
@@justsomeromanwithinternetacces what benefits result from having anyone (though kids are the ones often playing this games) commit egregious war crimes? Perhaps they become desensitized to this type of thing? Perhaps it becomes normalized? Idk about you, but it’s much more moving to hear from survivors the horrors they faced. Is it more powerful to read how a Belorussian mother had to drown her newborn child in a swamp to avoid detection from Einsatzgruppen units, or is it better to play as the Einsatzgruppen soldier hunting down those they deem to be unworthy of life? One seems to emphasize the horrors of war, the other makes a “fun and entertaining” game out of someone’s misery
I’m guessing no response means you have heard the voice of reason, or at least that’s what I hope… but I guess not everyone truly studies the history of WWII considering how upset people are at the fact that women and black soldiers were included in a game (which apparently means that the roles of white men automatically become nullified)
I love how you mentioned that weapons during the war were inferior to their pre war counterparts due to cheaper parts. The game Enlisted addresses these issues and pre war weaponry is higher quality.
Christ, everything in this review is just absolutely spot on. Subscribed, liked, and shared. Please keep making honest reviews, things like this are a breath of fresh air on YT, genuinely. Plus, it was very funny too haha!
This CoD game especially reminds me of Eisenhower's speech when he left office against the military industrial complex. Turning war into a business, a commodity until it becomes meaningless background noise. For as much as people rail about the wokeism seeping out of this game, more people just don't care. Meaningless background noise. At least the Infinite and Advanced Warfare games were speculating on the future instead of mining and watering down the past.
Being honest, most woke/Twitterians don't even play/consume this type of products. And I get wanting to expand your reach to new clients, but you shouldn't do it, by destroying your faithful client based
And I'm a guy all for inclusion and such, but lately it's just been feeling forced over and over to appeal to people who aren't even gonna consume the media they tend to complain about not having what they want.
@@BryonYoungblood What kind of media are you listening too? I have heard jackshit about diversity, the only ones who ever bring it up is you guys who do it to bitch about it
I think I’m actually going to live long enough to see every franchise I love or even am mildly interested in, totally debased and ruined across television, film and gaming. Nothing will be left unscathed
I swear you live in my head mate! A fellow aficionado of Gun Jesus and Critical Drinker, the same cynical eye on the Wokeness and practices of Acti-Bliz, and the same quiet rage against the lack of British representation. Or maybe it's a representation of British gamers as a whole...
This is the sort of shit that actually sets race relations back. This insults all involved (and not involved) races and cultures as well as the history and those who lived it. I'm both black and white and for fucks sake, both sides of me are offended.
I’m both black and white and I’m not offended at all. Instead of living in the past you need to accept that we need to safeguard the future. The past is dead 💀 and gone. We will lose tomorrow if we continue to reach out for yesterday. If you don’t like it then DONT play it. Sorted 👍

Ah yes, I remember when my grandfather used to tell me his old war stories of the pacific campaign he never failed to mention all the empowered women of color that he fought side by side with, so stunning and brave.
I can honestly say that I never opened up a game and thought "Oh! It's so diverse!". Usually, when I open a game, the first thing I do is look for water and see how the physics are and the way the waves look, look at the backdrops and minor details, if it's a shooty shoot game I like to see how the explosions look. I listen to the voice acting, music, sound effects, and how the environment changes. I pay attention the optimization of the game, looking for bugs, looking for quirks, looking for eater eggs, etc. Paying attention to the story, whether or not it's good, especially compared to a prior release, it's authenticity. There are about a hundred plus things I look at/for which pertains to the game and it's performance and replayablity before I even think of whether or not enough skin color is in the game. It's so low on the list, because I am a damn adult and confident in myself and I can have fun playing as pretty much any race or sex and not expect MY skin color to be in the game because forced representation is just a giant dog turd when it isn't natural or authentic. What DOES make it further up the list is obvious woke tom foolery and stupidity. Because Woke stupidity can actually negatively affect the game, it's story, authenticity, and many other things. Black Nazis? Sure, only in a woke game industry that is pushing further and further to extreme wokism, which means things are being pushed further and further towards extreme stupidity.
Ah. I see you're a man of culture as-well. Since you enjoy Ian's methodical description of firearms, may I suggest you give Paul Harrell's YT channel a chance. The man gives a meticulous description on proper gun handling (maybe start with his 1986 Miami Dade Shooting analysis). Regardless, your take did not disappoint and I was properly entertained.
I consider myself to be a "man of culture" when it comes to RUclips. I split my time between gun channels, and footage of female sports and gymnastics. Big fan of Paul Harrell btw. He makes the best meat targets on the internet. Thank you for watching mate.

I find ironic that developers like these are more or less responsible for the surge in popularity of Indi games. this sort of woke pandering only caters to the people forced to review the game and not the people who will actually play the game…
My biggest gripe with Vanguard will always be it's side effects on MW2019 and Warzone. The integration broke both games and replaced the relatively balanced Verdansk with an unbalanced and uninteresting map riddled with bugged and incomplete terrain lovingly topped off by the Vanguard-stuff-only game modes that hog the playlist instead of just letting people use the guns and characters from other games like it was intended since Cold War integration. Here's to hoping this Sh*t doesn't last the full 6 seasons, cuz I'm so done with it.
Proud, inveterate, hardcore camper dialing in & whether it's turkey day or not, I'm grateful for a channel that so supremely excels in the self-inflicted mockery THIS industry deserves, thank you again, and always :)
I totally agree about the "voting the winner" BS. I oh-so-rarely get top boards, or the best plays, or top killstreaks in ANY CoD game. In ALL my CoD history. (I was never able to get a nuke, even though i wanted to.) It was rare af. So when it DID happen, which it did once in awhile, it was *enormously satisfying.*
The same goes for Battlefield V, that game is woke as shit. Females fighting on the frontlines? Or the female in the trailer with the prosthetic hand. Seriously? And then DICE claimed it was “historically accurate”. I swear, that game forces wokeness down our throats.
During your cut-scenes with those cursors I consistently wondered how my mouse moved onto the video, then remembered that's it's the game, not my mouse. XD You mentioned in your Battlefield 5 video that it was like losing an old friend, well 2042 dug up that old friend so they could piss on the corpse.
The SS officer @ 45:48 has rank epaulets of an SS-Standartenführer (or SS-Oberführer), equivalent to a colonel in the German army. But in the left collar, he has the rank insignia of an SS-Hauptsturmführer (captain in the German army). The guy was promoted in the shoulders but demoted in the collar :) Destroying history is not enough. They must fuck with the rank system too. Another thing that I caught @ 46:24: The interrogator is supposed to be Gestapo (Sicherheitsdienst insignia in the left sleeve). So, he shouldn't have a SS insignia in the right collar. Uniformed Gestapo officers with ranks up to Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army) had an empty patch in the left collar, in the place of the SS patch.

@Frank I remember looking at all the photos of my grandparents time in WW2 and didn’t notice any women or blacks in the photos but that’s because they were obviously the ones always taking the photos either that or they were to bust actually winning the war while my old Cis white grandfathers had nothing better to do then stand around taking photos
@@teabaganyone7830 Or maybe because more white men than blacks and women fought in the war. Nah, can't be, we have to blame the white men who have fought for their country by giving their lives instead of using logic.

I remember the OG cod games, not only were they good but in the credits it always said “Dedicated to the veterans of ww2”.
And that was the best thing. It was not just a game it was a memorial. Now it’s just a:” you can be what you want in the ww2 era.”
Bruh I even remember when even BF1 actually respect the veterans in ww2 or 1

@@daveallen2568 Yeah I agree, but what I meant was that it showed that they actually cared
So true. I remember playing those and they would also use real footage in between missions. They felt like an interactive WW2 101 history lesson

Oy can you fix my toilet. Uncle Barry took a fat shit in it and when we try to flush it all comes up and spilt all over my Tims boots. I’ll give you a tenner for every hour it takes to fix that fucking thing.
The real issue is that videogame writers are writing school rejects. They didn't get hired for film or TV so they settled for an industry full of nerds that can be bullied into doing what you want.
The diversity is ridiculous. In BF2042 the medic is a 50 yr old woman who is supposedly also a special forces operator. I was in the united states army for 8 years, anyone over 50 is not in the fight anymore. They either retire or get so high in rank they are no longer on the front lines. These game companies have zero respect for reality.
🤣 video games are firmly in the crapper.
They're putting in all this diversity to please a few Twitter armchair Warriors who won't even play their games anyway. Haven't they learned that woke media is dying they just keep making it and they're wondering why their sales go through the floor
@@redseagaming7832 Your right and ive been saying the same thing about twitter. I swear so many people think its the pulse of the nation but i hear only 18% of all people use twitter.

Thanks for your service! Glad to see some people who've served point out the stupidity that call of woke cryguard and battlewoke: 1984 are wearing as a badge of honor
They’ve used their little excuse of the conflicts taking place between 2 ‘hired mercenary groups’ rather than 2 countries militaries going head to head, that’s their green light to throw in whoever vs whoever battles. Despite still marking the 2 teams as the US and Russia, it makes no sense whatsoever but as long as DICE can sell their skins and cram characters in battle passes they’re happy.

Compared to this crackpot of a game Vanguard, World at War made you experience the second world war the way it should be: gruesome, brutal, the story of humanity hell bent on killing each other. From burning Japanese alive with a flamethrower, watching your squadmate's throat get slitted in front of you, to the Nazis murdering survivors in a fountain in Stalingrad and the vengeance of the Red Army against any Nazi they see.
Perhaps that's what made World at War so good: it makes you see and commit questionable actions to make you understand that war is bad and we should do everything to stop it. Not this kind of hodgepodge pushing an agenda no worse than the extremes on the other side.

The actual Nazi's of WW2 had a better opinion of their British foes than these woke developers have for the British
The british are some of the most badly presented factions in any Videogame. Its always, America this, America that, here is a churchill tank/ random british combat vehicle and then we move over to the russians and Germans.
@@hydrolox3953 exactly and fantasy gear worn, that call of duty para officer wearing a leather WW1 Cavalry/RHA bandolier.....Jesus look at reference will you developers
@@hydrolox3953 America did all the work buddy. This isn't news
@@johndodo2062 It didn't. It did a large part of the work, but not all of it. Britain fought the Nazis in the desert, the Soviets on the eastern front and the Americans provided lend lease stuff (a lot actually) and did most of the fighting on the western front.
@@hydrolox3953 Er, America did not do a majority of the fighting on the Western front.
First off they only really showed up in 1944 and their airforce 43.
Secondly DDAY was entirely planned by the British commonwealth, all the logistics/artillery/air support/naval operations was British commonwealth. 3/5 beaches were taken by British commonwealth and Omaha wasnt any harder than any other beach.
DDAY didn’t even require the US to be there - that was a later plan, there were 124 commonwealth divisions ready the two who took Omaha + Utah weren’t “needed” so to speak.
The U.K. discounting colonies and lend lease produced 3x as many tanks - and generally better tanks, 2x as many planes - and the spitfire was year on year the fastest piston engines fighter of the war until the P-47M in 1945 - and 4x the naval vessels.
No, I’m not discounting the American contribution, but it was just that, a contribution. The view the British were a minor underdog who bravely stood against a massive Nazi reich is false - and painted by the British press after the war. The U.K. was the largest empire and combined economy and manufacturing base in the entire world - the U.K. outproduced Germany to such an extent there was zero hope of Germany winning after 1940. The Manhattan project (the research portion) was almost entirely done by the U.K. (American industry was crucial to manufacture the entire bomb - but the U.K. basically wrote the “instructions”.
It was estimated enough atomb bombs would be ready using Belgian Congo uranium by the 1947 to defeat the Nazis.
As I said the British manufacturing base was far larger than the Nazis - and after RAF bombing started (destroying 40% of Nazi factories, and nearly half of all the war materiel produced by the Nazis were spent just against the RAF not even including the USSR or USAAF).
The Royal Naval blockade created all of Germanys resource issues throughout the war. They were starving in winter 1940 and after securing the largest arms for grain deal with the USSR in history they invaded because the Nazis were broke and had no hope of economic survival but through conquest.
17 Million British soldiers fought in the war, this doesn’t include the colossal contribution made by Canada, Australia, India (which assembled the largest volunteer only army in history of 2.5 million troops), New Zealand, South Africa, Rhodesia, and other commonwealth territories.
The idea the UK did any less than the US in WWII is patently false, and the UK is the only one of the “main powers” without who the war would have been unwinnable - regardless of that only being the fact for the USA because they needed an unsinkable launching pad lol.
40% of Russian medium and heavy tanks available in 1941 and 1942 were British made tanks. Moscow, St Petersburg, and Stalingrad would certainly have fallen without them.
And finally, No, I’m not denigrating what the US did, all I’m saying is acting like the U.K. was “saved” when the war was being won by December 1941 or that America did everything or even more is insulting. American civilians didn’t die in the war (well, 8 did). I could very obviously list all the accomplishments the Americans made in the war here and it would be pages long. Their resources they provided were absolutely crucial and they did the vast majority of the work against Japan. However they certainly didn’t do more on the western front - the fact nearly half the Nazi economy was producing AA guns, ammunition, aircraft, and repairing buildings to counter solely RAF bombings proves this. No, I’m not anti American, I am American however havw U.K. citizenship as well and have spent 10 years of my life there and the lack of knowledge and care amongst a minority of Americans for what the UK actually did during WWII is shocking considering without them Europe would now be controlled by Nazis.
In Vanguard 2 they’ll remove guns altogether.
Too many triggers. That’s offensive and racist.

That's what really fucked me off about the entertainer industry's response to woke demands. Those fuckers complain about everything but don't fucking buy anything.
This happened when woke social justice warriors decided to turn a legendary franchise to bullshit to fit their narrative.
Everything woke turns to s*** quote of Donald J Trump
It's disgusting that the so called allies at Activision still haven't included any female SS characters in their games. So much for representation.
It won't be long before any depiction of SS characters shout random Trump chants too. Why not?
@@sortofanoakyafterbirth3661 I expect even the COD devs are aware that the SS had standards. As disgusting and vile as they were. They would've laughed at that fat oaf then shot him.
The Nazi nurse boss from Bloodrayne 1 should be in there.
Could've referenced Ilsa, She Wolf, come onnn
A point of fascination for many people and historians alike has been the role of women in the Holocaust, specifically female members of the SS and the Nazi party. Due to the stereotyping of women throughout history, many have been utterly shocked by the actions of female Nazi guards because, other than the actions being unspeakable, they were simply female. This, of course, is a pretty outdated view as evil has no gender and it is perfectly plausible for the perpetrators to be male or female.
There were actually a lot of female SS Guards(around 3500 total in the Camps)
, here a few notable names= Irma Grese, Maria Mandl

I, too, remember when the Nazi's at the height of World War 2 said "You know what? We're sorry for how we're treating minorities. As of now, all racial and ethnic discrimination will end! Along with gender roles! Now, we will push Black Female French soldiers onto our frontlines to dismantle the racist oppressors known as Roosevelt and Churchill! We're all in this together! We're doing this in the name of diversity and inclusion!"
Not that far from the truth, the german army had a division of anticommunist russians, a division of indians who weren't fond of the brits, a division of arabs and iraqis....Italy had somalis, lubiana, albanians and eritreans, japan had vietnamese, mongolians, more indians, filipinos....the axis powers were quite multicultural, all these people joined the axis to fight off their colonizers, if yoi asked them they would have told you that Churchill was indeed the opressor
Your spot on analysis of what happens when brazen hypocrisy meets stunning levels of deliberate ignorance in a video game lights a small matchstick sized flame in the cold dead cockles of my heart. This review is one of your best ever, hands (tied) down. Now go feed the hostages.

U.S. soldiers were trained to one handed "point shoot" the 1911. Which is why the sights on them were practically nonexistent. The idea was the range you were likely going to be using it it was faster to just point your hand center mass dump 2 rounds and swing to the next poor sap changing your flank.

Point Shooting did exist before the 1911.
"Which is why the sights on them are practically nonexistent." Ignorance and delusion beyond belief.
The OSS for example, learnt Point Shooting from Applegate many years after the 1911 was designed.
Your absurd belief about the 1911s sights are incorrect, as is your assertion that 1911s were designed just for this.

Verdun is a game that knows how to display diversity while respecting history by only including non-white units that actually fought on the Western Front in WW1, and by having them in their own separate faction with their own uniforms. This way, you get your diversity without turning half the British Army into Indians, and seemingly the entire German Army into Africans. Seriously, was I the only one who noticed that in Battlefield 1? I am hard pressed to remember a single white German in the multiplayer.
bf1 has about the most diversity i can handle, luckily the rest of the game was good. but seriously I dont even buy new games anymore
Battlefield 1 was a Kalergi agenda piece of shit. The only reason nobody talks about it is because it’s fun to play.

I didnt know that black or "women of colour" were the main soldiers In WW2. I thought they were German, Russian, British, American, Polish, French and Japanese men.
My favorite thing about :inclusion" is that it in practice, excludes people. Which makes it contradict itself. Banning other people's thoughts (even racists and supremacists) because it may exclude a group of people, in turn excludes a group of people because they think differently, which is exactly what they claimed to be attempting to stop. The idea is an oxymoron with emphasis on moron. There will always be people that think differently. There will always be bad people. Deal with it.
"Deal with it."
Sounds like they did.
@@AirLancer no, that's the problem. They didn't. Woke people hide behind their own made up superiority complex which just makes them hypocritical. They tried using a bandaid to stop cancer and it's just making things worse.

"If it weren't for double standards, Democrats wouldn't have any standards at all." -Larry Elder
Nah racists and supremacists don’t deserve any platforms or places to think they deserve to be put down. See this is what’s wrong with the whole freedom of speech and “the woke are taking over” groups. You think racists and people like them don’t deserve to be shut out because if the left say they want to be inclusive that apparently means they have to include racists?? Life isn’t that linear and that’s why there’s such a big divide because you act like if there can’t be any grey areas or exceptions
Devs (and moviemakers) need to realize that if you have good characters, whether they're black or white, all races will be able to identify with them (not that they need to. A good story can be enjoyed without having to see yourself in the mix).
Maybe humans aren't as complex as we'd like to believe, but they sure as hell are a lot more complex than money grubbing devs think they are
People nowadays need to see this or that character, they need to be told your race did this, or your race or group or whatever gender was in that moment, because people nowadays doesn't know how to think, they can't think, their little brains can't process information, and they don't want to bother in looking for that information or knowledge. THEY NEED SOMEONE TO TELL TO THEM DO THIS, ACT LIKE THIS AND THINK LIKE THIS. No wonder you have tiktok and lot of social media full of "influencers" telling to people how to cure this disease, how to treat that wound, how to react against a robbery, how to react in a fire, what could happen if one engine in a plane fails, that the roman empire never existed, or that the earth is flat, and thousands of people following them and believe them and spreading false and dangerous information as well.
@@jabo109 I believe most humans are followers by design. It's how both good and bad societies were allowed to exist over the years. If the majority of people were free thinkers and rebels, stability wouldn't be able to be achieved. You're totally right about the tiktok stuff, and the media influencer, though I think this innate need to be told to do things, and to be told how to think, has always been something humans have had. Social media and the quick fix culture has only amplified this.
We're all followers one way or another, some more so then others. I might be a follower myself. You might be a follower as well. You can only say you aren't when you've been in situations where that was put to the test. But most people will always be followers, and this is by design for th e reasons stated previously.
@@NigelUltra Oh yeah, I agree that more or less everyone is a follower, I'm a follower too, but I take the job to research a little to see if what they tell me is true or not. Since school they turn you into a follower, but when you grow up, a lot of times you learn new stuff and you realize that this or that teacher told you this, but chose to hide that. Sadly my country (Argentina) is a clear example of this, where you have ppl and politicians that tell one story and majority accept it without even checking the facts. But there's always room and time for improvement, and not everyone wants to do it.
@@jabo109 So your an informed follower.
You will default to following someone else’s lead, but you always check to make sure who you follow is worthy of it.
Remember how in CoD 1 when you did the Russian campaign you played unique characters that made you feel the natural world around you. Where the Russians spoke your game setting to immerse you but the Germans still spoke German, so you felt the immersion of foreign invaders, or how about the fact you played a female Sniper in that one?

The multiplayer is literally allies slaughtering each other, with no actual nazis present.

In the last two years I have found myself being especially nostalgic for MY early days of PC gaming when I was in my twenties and DooM just came out and all the great 90's Shooters of that time. What an exciting period to be a gamer. All devs were "indie" back then and just making great games with unique experiences and seemingly having a great time doing it... back then the money was a by product of passionate, creative people making a great game and now it is quite the opposite. I feel very lucky to have been around back in that time AND be the perfect age to experience and appreciate all those great moments as they happened... of course the main caveat to that is that I am a crusty old bastard now..

Dude, as an American, I fully understand how important the Britts were in WW2 and for them to be left out of a WW2 game is absolutely a personal jab from someone. You can bet on it. Has Britain done anything lately to anger SJWs?
This seriously bugs me. Britain was there, beside the other allies fighting the Nazi scum. WTF are you guys not included in this?
Only thing I can recall is Brexit and putting the CONServatives back in office.
Magnificent video, as a history major with both of my grandfathers serving in the second world war I found this subversion of the facts abhorrent and disgusting.
Its call of duty, did you really expect anything else??
@@ComradeChyrk while they did advertise it as an immersive ww2 shooter, no.
Disgusting is really the only way to describe this game.
This has become just a disrespect of what our grandparents did in times of war.
If you have a major in History you'd know about the Free Arabian Legion which had 6,500 Muslims, black people, and other ethnic minorities, or the female Russian sniper with 242 confirmed kills. Remembering this is a video game and not part of an academic historical work I can't work out why you are surprised or expect historical accuracies. I admit, the lack of British involvement in the game a bit irritating, with my English Grandparents serving...but it's a GAME ffs..
It so annoying that so many unique campaigns, continue to be ignored when it comes to WW2.
Bruh they dont even do the really well known ones justice. The stalingrad levels are litteraly assassins creed fps and the d day level is you being an absolute mongaloid giving orders that would get a real life officer fragged right then and there.
@@bennycostello2472 Ha ha true, It's just that for all their bullshit talk of diversity. They sure have a funny way of showing that.
I’ll never believe why people see the Russian female unit and say to themselves “every country had women fighting front line”
@@jahjohnson31 They weren't even that common in Russia either.
@@supremecaffeine2633 oh I’m tracking lol I’m very much in the know as to why they even had to haves female unit
There have been numerous examples in entertainment industry where attempting wokeness has failed, especially disney star wars. So why are companies still pursuing wokeness to this extreme degree
I was watching Activision address their stockholders a few years back. They quoted a statistic about how much time the average player is spending in game. I think nonsense like the MVP vote isn't to make people feel better, I think it's to keep people in the game for longer. I also think the lobbies disbanding after each match has a ton to do with this as well.
What’s funny I read a while ago that stockholders were concerned that Activision wasn’t selling enough games maybe 10 years back. What caught the stockholders attention was Activision’s decision to pull the plug on Guitar Hero and they noticed Activision didn’t have as much IPs compared to EA, TAKE-TWO and Ubisoft and said they shouldn’t rely on COD.
Oh yes, the “Absolute evil back then wasn’t that bad because of how things have changed today” line. Hint: it’s not a good look.
The MVP Vote sounds like CoD leaving the job of cheater moderation up to the customers instead of doing their job!
1:01:55:
What's funny is that Activision erased Tiannamen footage in the trailer because of China's meddling, therefore proving Bezmenov right.
You know your game is shit when you have the rushers and the campers agreeing that your game is shit, and not blaming eachother for the game being shit.
I would sue Acti-Blizzard for inflicting you with PTSD. Two hours of the Beta made my retinas bleed while lowering my IQ a standard deviation every 10 minutes.
My favorite was Arthur our main charecter/ leader we ate supposed to respect not only sends a bunch of people face first at machineguns but later on is loudly discussing their escape plans right next to nazi guards and the interrogator MULTIPLE TIMES that we already know speak english. Then the very very end where they shoehorn in the 3 lines tieing every call of duty together and zombies as canon. In world at war litteraly nobody cared you could play as japanese or wermacht soldiers but in multiplayer you can only be allied soldiers. Both the japanese guy and german girl are traitors. just f off
And the German girl is a lesbian btw. Of course.
@@sortofanoakyafterbirth3661 With a polish gf..
It seems that the devs watched that one Extra Credits video and actually took it to heart.
The best ww2 story told by a game imo is call of duty world at war, it even let you simpathize with Russians, and you know how Activision and cod devs in general blame Russians randomly
So much diversity!
THE MESSAGE
@The Badderman lmao. like clockwork, EVERY TIME
Yeah Call of Duty: Ghosts was the beginning on the CoD's decline in my opinion. Ever since then it just hasn't been the same and I haven't really been into the franchise. Black Ops 1 is in my opinion the best CoD game of all-time. Amazing campaign, badass multiplayer with awesome maps and game modes (gun game/sticks and stones), weapon selection as well as zombies. All around fantastic game.
I remember laughing at BO1 for bad graphics but then I was a kid. I entirely trust you on the plot being decent.
Personally I think ghost story wasn't bad but however their version of zombies and the multiplayer was not fun and was not at all bearable.
Ghosts did great things for COD. No apparent woke sh** and a decent setting.
Everybody talks about black ops because it’s one of the only ones they got to play and can remember....
World at War and Modern Warfare (the OG) were the best....that’s including COD 3 as well
yup it was all downhill after Bo2
I wish we could get a WW1 or 2 game that has you play the enemy to teach history from the other side as well. Make it show the atrocities, their victories, iconic soldiers, etc. I think something like that would be very good at teaching about both wars and help us prevent from going back to that degree or barbarism via teaching the why and how of it.
But that would show that the Germans/National Socialist and the Japs were human also, which goes against the narrative that our overlords are pushing.
Yea I’m not sure if having a kid play as a German soldier raping and murdering his way across the USSR is the way to teach future generations
@George George dont let your kid play it then. Rated R isn't for children.
@@justsomeromanwithinternetacces what benefits result from having anyone (though kids are the ones often playing this games) commit egregious war crimes? Perhaps they become desensitized to this type of thing? Perhaps it becomes normalized? Idk about you, but it’s much more moving to hear from survivors the horrors they faced. Is it more powerful to read how a Belorussian mother had to drown her newborn child in a swamp to avoid detection from Einsatzgruppen units, or is it better to play as the Einsatzgruppen soldier hunting down those they deem to be unworthy of life? One seems to emphasize the horrors of war, the other makes a “fun and entertaining” game out of someone’s misery
I’m guessing no response means you have heard the voice of reason, or at least that’s what I hope… but I guess not everyone truly studies the history of WWII considering how upset people are at the fact that women and black soldiers were included in a game (which apparently means that the roles of white men automatically become nullified)
I love how you mentioned that weapons during the war were inferior to their pre war counterparts due to cheaper parts. The game Enlisted addresses these issues and pre war weaponry is higher quality.
Finally a RUclipsr not scared of his own
shadow. Love the content! I haven’t played a COD since WAW haha. I’m obviously not missing anything.
MW2 , BO1 , MW3 , BO2. You are definetely missing a lot. Even Ghosts and AW had nice campaigns. BO3 just for Zombies.

Christ, everything in this review is just absolutely spot on. Subscribed, liked, and shared. Please keep making honest reviews, things like this are a breath of fresh air on YT, genuinely. Plus, it was very funny too haha!
This CoD game especially reminds me of Eisenhower's speech when he left office against the military industrial complex. Turning war into a business, a commodity until it becomes meaningless background noise. For as much as people rail about the wokeism seeping out of this game, more people just don't care. Meaningless background noise. At least the Infinite and Advanced Warfare games were speculating on the future instead of mining and watering down the past.
Being honest, most woke/Twitterians don't even play/consume this type of products. And I get wanting to expand your reach to new clients, but you shouldn't do it, by destroying your faithful client based
if blackrock's ESG rating turns out to be true, it makes the comparison all to much closer and sinister
Yes, people asking for some representation in video games is the same as the military industrial complex... Bro like what are you on?
And I'm a guy all for inclusion and such, but lately it's just been feeling forced over and over to appeal to people who aren't even gonna consume the media they tend to complain about not having what they want.
@@BryonYoungblood What kind of media are you listening too? I have heard jackshit about diversity, the only ones who ever bring it up is you guys who do it to bitch about it
When I briefly played warzone with a friend the term "Rifleman" wasn't acceptable... But in Cold War I could use "Rifleman" just fine.
The also have different factions and they decided to get rid of that this game lol
The term RIFLEMAN wasn't acceptable?! What the fudk?!
I think I’m actually going to live long enough to see every franchise I love or even am mildly interested in, totally debased and ruined across television, film and gaming. Nothing will be left unscathed
Then we shall make some new. You can bring back the dead, but you can pass on the lessons and morels of there legacy.
I swear you live in my head mate! A fellow aficionado of Gun Jesus and Critical Drinker, the same cynical eye on the Wokeness and practices of Acti-Bliz, and the same quiet rage against the lack of British representation. Or maybe it's a representation of British gamers as a whole...
This is the sort of shit that actually sets race relations back. This insults all involved (and not involved) races and cultures as well as the history and those who lived it. I'm both black and white and for fucks sake, both sides of me are offended.
Well said sir. It's grounded in antagonism. Thanks for watching the video to the end.
I’m both black and white and I’m not offended at all. Instead of living in the past you need to accept that we need to safeguard the future. The past is dead 💀 and gone. We will lose tomorrow if we continue to reach out for yesterday. If you don’t like it then DONT play it. Sorted 👍
@@TheENDEVOUR What a great idea!! Why bother studying and learning from the past when we can just blindly charge forward into the future! It's not like past events could repeat or anything!
@@21Kiloton charge forward into the future?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. What future is that then. It’s all coming to a sticky end. ( forgive the pun ) nature will find a way to start again. 👍
@@TheENDEVOUR You lost all credibility when you busted out the emojis
Kind of sad how you did more research on world war 2 and the countries background than the triple a developers.
Filters on names existed in MW2019 as well... literally couldn't name one of my classes "Assault"
Ah yes, I remember when my grandfather used to tell me his old war stories of the pacific campaign he never failed to mention all the empowered women of color that he fought side by side with, so stunning and brave.
I can honestly say that I never opened up a game and thought "Oh! It's so diverse!". Usually, when I open a game, the first thing I do is look for water and see how the physics are and the way the waves look, look at the backdrops and minor details, if it's a shooty shoot game I like to see how the explosions look. I listen to the voice acting, music, sound effects, and how the environment changes. I pay attention the optimization of the game, looking for bugs, looking for quirks, looking for eater eggs, etc. Paying attention to the story, whether or not it's good, especially compared to a prior release, it's authenticity.
There are about a hundred plus things I look at/for which pertains to the game and it's performance and replayablity before I even think of whether or not enough skin color is in the game. It's so low on the list, because I am a damn adult and confident in myself and I can have fun playing as pretty much any race or sex and not expect MY skin color to be in the game because forced representation is just a giant dog turd when it isn't natural or authentic.
What DOES make it further up the list is obvious woke tom foolery and stupidity. Because Woke stupidity can actually negatively affect the game, it's story, authenticity, and many other things.
Black Nazis? Sure, only in a woke game industry that is pushing further and further to extreme wokism, which means things are being pushed further and further towards extreme stupidity.
Ah. I see you're a man of culture as-well.
Since you enjoy Ian's methodical description of firearms, may I suggest you give Paul Harrell's YT channel a chance. The man gives a meticulous description on proper gun handling (maybe start with his 1986 Miami Dade Shooting analysis).
Regardless, your take did not disappoint and I was properly entertained.
I consider myself to be a "man of culture" when it comes to RUclips. I split my time between gun channels, and footage of female sports and gymnastics. Big fan of Paul Harrell btw. He makes the best meat targets on the internet. Thank you for watching mate.
@@21Kiloton the fact you know about Paul's "Meat target" just made you twice as cool as I already thought you were.
Definitely wasn't expecting Paul Harrel to be mentioned here!
We're out on the range. So Please bear the gunfire you hear in the background.
You be the judge.
@@mikedrop4421 So as you can see, the 9mm Hollow Point round went right through our steak pectorals and shattered several of our pork ribs, decimated our watermelon (or orange) lung tissue, and lodged itself between our back layer of pork ribs...
I find ironic that developers like these are more or less responsible for the surge in popularity of Indi games. this sort of woke pandering only caters to the people forced to review the game and not the people who will actually play the game…
My biggest gripe with Vanguard will always be it's side effects on MW2019 and Warzone. The integration broke both games and replaced the relatively balanced Verdansk with an unbalanced and uninteresting map riddled with bugged and incomplete terrain lovingly topped off by the Vanguard-stuff-only game modes that hog the playlist instead of just letting people use the guns and characters from other games like it was intended since Cold War integration.
Here's to hoping this Sh*t doesn't last the full 6 seasons, cuz I'm so done with it.
Proud, inveterate, hardcore camper dialing in & whether it's turkey day or not, I'm grateful for a channel that so supremely excels in the self-inflicted mockery THIS industry deserves, thank you again, and always :)
You are very welcome. Happy Thanksgiving.
I totally agree about the "voting the winner" BS.
I oh-so-rarely get top boards, or the best plays, or top killstreaks in ANY CoD game. In ALL my CoD history. (I was never able to get a nuke, even though i wanted to.)
It was rare af.
So when it DID happen, which it did once in awhile, it was *enormously satisfying.*
The same goes for Battlefield V, that game is woke as shit. Females fighting on the frontlines? Or the female in the trailer with the prosthetic hand. Seriously? And then DICE claimed it was “historically accurate”. I swear, that game forces wokeness down our throats.
During your cut-scenes with those cursors I consistently wondered how my mouse moved onto the video, then remembered that's it's the game, not my mouse. XD You mentioned in your Battlefield 5 video that it was like losing an old friend, well 2042 dug up that old friend so they could piss on the corpse.
@Winston Churchill Yes, it is.
The People’s Revolutionary Gaming Collective stands in solidarity with Comrade Kiloton!
May the harvest be bountiful!
The SS officer @ 45:48 has rank epaulets of an SS-Standartenführer (or SS-Oberführer), equivalent to a colonel in the German army. But in the left collar, he has the rank insignia of an SS-Hauptsturmführer (captain in the German army). The guy was promoted in the shoulders but demoted in the collar :) Destroying history is not enough. They must fuck with the rank system too.
Another thing that I caught @ 46:24: The interrogator is supposed to be Gestapo (Sicherheitsdienst insignia in the left sleeve). So, he shouldn't have a SS insignia in the right collar. Uniformed Gestapo officers with ranks up to Obersturmbannführer (Lieutenant-Colonel in the Army) had an empty patch in the left collar, in the place of the SS patch.
Wow. This is the first video of yours I've ever watched. I'm very impressed. So pleased you have addressed all the WANK that goes on in video games. You sir have saved me a lot of money and was so close to getting this, I thank you sir.
