Rare footage showing the Australian army's desperate stand against the endless hoard of bloodthirsty emus; truly capturing the horrors & nightmarish conditions of the great emu war. Circa 1935 colourized.
I used to play Holdfast two years ago... I have really beauty memories because of the people I've meet there :( I miss you guys so much, really really really much 💔 I hope everyone enjoying as much I used to. Maybe someday the sun will shine on me one more time in Holdfast :( Love you guys...
I’ve been charged by Emus a few times and let me tell ya, having a male Emu (a bull) charge you is terrifying. They make low grunting sounds and they plume up when they charge. Not to mention they have red eyes and huge claws that can rip your guts out. Luckily emus prefer to bluff then actually engage you, but still scary.
It's a shame that this terrible, deadly conflict has been forgotten...thank you for bringing back glory and memory to all the veterans of this disasterous war o7
The fact that humanity actually had a war against a bird, lost encounters due to how little of them we killed, and then had to get Machine guns to try and kill them. Key word “TRY” is both hilarious as is confusing to me.
I like how someone is playing 115 when you the emu’s. Makes sense when your an overwhelming horde of terrifying bullet resistant creatures trying to kill people
As an Australian, this is waved in my face a lot and I am ashamed that we went to war with a flock of 2 metre tall Prehistoric Bird for no reason and lost
The EMU war, the most inflated and over rated [while still hilarious] 'military' action which was just like 5 guys with machine guns, that tried a few times to kill big birds.
id love to actually try this DLC every time i try to play it the server is always full and there is only 2 active servers, so if anyone watching this video and is thinking about getting this DLC just know ur gonna have to wait an hour or 2 for a spot to open up
Little known historical fact, Minh is actually the Vietnamese word for Emu. This is why Ho Chi Johnson changed his last name to Minh after reading of this famous battle and where term “Viet Minh” comes from.
For this I used Nvidia shadowplay but it's giving a lot issues lately, so I just use OBS with the replay buffer do pretty much do exactly what Nvidia shadowplay does. The emu's look really weird because it's an Emu model attached to a human so it's always gonna look funny haha
Well now i just want a mod where theres Emus as a playable faction. Obviously they need a health n speed buff since they won n can only peck/scratch but still.
Is this game still active? I havent played any game at all for maybe 3 years don't even have a pc rn, but wanna buy a pc to play this shit. Think I've watched every single yt video obtainable by now..
The game is definitely still active, it’s just the WW1 part of the game that can sometimes have a low player count making it hard to find a full lobby depending on the time of day
This server is a private event held once a month but the NR22 regiment, there discord is in the description and the event is every 1st Saturday of the month. But normally I just play on public servers and occasionally I will do a line battle
The frontlines ww1 part sometimes doesn’t have a full server depending on the day and time of day, but the normal part, nations at war usually always has at least one full server. But this emu thing is a event ran once a month. If you want to join in on the event join the Nr22s discord discord.gg/nr22

With infinite ammo,grenade and shell
As a Australian i can tell you the World War one vets who took part in this were more happy to talk about WW1 then this war.
I'm more proud of the World Wars than this, I agree
Weren’t there like fucken 3?
@@kodymachande7842 no just at the beginning, later there where like 500 i think

4:00 The Admin just unintentionally created a CoD World at War veteran level mode.

Why did you stop playing tho?
@@glibchubik4090 moved to the new city, change job, leave my PC in my family house. No time for playing :/
@@AtomowyWaginator Damn. That's life, i guess. Hopefully you'll be able to play again sometime
We will forever remember those we lost In the emu wars. May they finally know peace.

Long ago all countries lived in peace..then the emu nation attacked
As an Aussie, I can 100% confirm that this is pretty damn close to what actually happened
Australia vs practically dinosaurs.
This is almost 99.9% accurate and really captures the horror of the great emu war.
An Emu war mod?
This... this is just beautiful
"we can't lose like the Aussies did!" 😂😂
3:52 .OMG we are screwd
Whoever is playing 115 at 3:28 has truly come prepared.

I dont think its 115
I didnt realize fighting emus would be as cinematic as it was ya know with lances of machine gun fire into hordes of birds

The Emus were so OP the admin legit gave y’all infinite ammo 😂
One of the bloodiest last stand ever by the Aussies, RIP for the fallen

Yeah the frontlines servers are hard to find full ones and then where there full it’s hard to get in 😢
@@5uhDude that’s what I’m saying! 😩 anyways love ur videos dude!
You could also find an empty server and try to start it up.
Thanks 😃

Bruh what 😅😂
@@5uhDude Okay, I might have stretched the truth just a little bit on that one 😀
It's exactly like grandpa described.😢
4:19 ah yes, dingidingidingdingi
It was.... *a war.* Indeed.
The Emu's were not afraid.
Death was their siren.
This looks more terrifying than Zombie modes.
i wish they made a zombie mod that would be awsome and also some gore to add effects
Sometimes around Halloween they’ll do something like that
Every time I watch one of these videos, I crack myself laughing.
quack quack bitch was the best line
Remember when holdfast used to be about napoleonic wars? Time flies.
It's the glowing red eyes for me
It's all fun and games until the emu's wheel up a siege cannon.
😂😂😂
If you have a spare half hour, 1932 the great emu war is worth a look 🇭🇲
Somebody was playing the cod zombies theme I’m dead
Until this moment, I did not know that the Australians had infinite ammunition at that time.
The rainbow in the background makes me so happy
3:05 based
Did not realize it gave infinite nades….
IM FUCKING DEAD😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣💀💀💀🤣😂🤣💀🤣💀🤪💀🤪💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤪😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fun Fact: Italy lost a war against an invasion animal species as well
I didn't see the "Emu War" in the title so I expected german soldiers and saw a hurricane of giant birds in the middle of d-day and died laughing lol.
War... War never changes
“Prepare the boiling oil”
This is peak historical simulation
This game is a gem lol
before anyone asks
yes this is historically accurate
Now this is peak game design
this feels like a found footage film
those damn bird soundeffects tho
how did I miss this
What do you use to record with? This is clean! Also what the hell is up with the emu!?
For this I used Nvidia shadowplay but it's giving a lot issues lately, so I just use OBS with the replay buffer do pretty much do exactly what Nvidia shadowplay does. The emu's look really weird because it's an Emu model attached to a human so it's always gonna look funny haha
@@5uhDude good shit man keep it up! I was dying!
The forgotten war
The Deadliest war in human history
the emu noises they made XD
I stopped playing Holdfast a few months before WW1 update, when I came back they had fucking Emus
*emu noises* 🔪🔪🔪
This is fucking gold 😂
Lets be honest, Germany and the Ottomand would had won if they had the Emus instead of Austro-Hungary in their side.
My favorite RUclipsr
I don’t know what’s scarier emus or Ewoks
3:21 whats the metal Songs name the guys are mic spamming here?
115 cod zombies?
@@5uhDude i thought the same, but listening to it again, there are either 2 songs playing, or one that sounds almost the same
Well now i just want a mod where theres Emus as a playable faction. Obviously they need a health n speed buff since they won n can only peck/scratch but still.
Definitely try to make it to the next one! I believe they host them once a month on the first Saturday of the month
i now get why the Aussies lost that war XD hahahaha
Marvelous!
another nutshell vid yay
My god why is this game so good
love it make MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Ah yes the great Australian war colorized
More Holdfast!
You deserve to have a million subs
Thank you! 😁
Legendary
What if Australia won the Emu War?
Oh the great emu war nice
True.
I loved this event
I only have one question: *Why not do it with Dinosaurs?*
😳
It wouldnt be historically accurate
@@DeadPLayerCZ I mean emu's in the Dardanelles isn't as well 😐
si
Australian d-day
3:27 is it sabton or does anyone know the name of the song?
it's called 115 from cod zombies
A very funny video
Wait….did someone finally make a game about killing birds?
Emus
Look up emu war that happened in Australia
I wasn’t aware this was a thing, what’s the server?
discord.gg/nr22
I swear of it the Emu army was supplied and trained by the Germans !!!!!
