    "If that happened in Ghosts you'd probably just fart out all the radiation in one heroic guff, pull the broken glass out of your eyes and use it to shiv the Ayatollah."
    You know, call me crazy, but CoD SHOULD go down that route. The series is so over-the-top and such a joke now that going full-on, 100% self-aware parody with its next game seems like the best choice.

      It's called Ghosts because the Ghosts are a fictional elitist military squad. How original.

    I always hate how stealth in CoD games really just consists of lying in some grass as someone tells you what to do. Then once you get what you came for your cover is immediately blown.
    Seriously, is there any CoD mission where you make it in and out undetected? It makes me wonder how the protagonists even become elite soldiers if during every mission they end up shooting their way out.

    • @dragirby
      @dragirby 11 лет назад +46

      I remember there was this one mission where you had to time shots with your co-op partner to take out multiple targets at once. But that stealth segment was completely avoidable and the stealth part was for an achievment...

      This is why CoD never should have moved out of the WWII genre, and transferred itself to a Special Ops themed shooter.
      I feel the CoDs downgraded. Look at CoD 3 and pay close attention to the variety of features and how they empathized on the game being about war, not some excretion meant to lead you to buy some overpriced DLC.
      I am not disparaging some "master-piece" of a genre, which kicked of with its 6th= I MEAN 4th game, but honestly I don't understand why people buy this franchise anymore, as they could play CoD 3 for a larger arcade shooter that requires more talent to implement effectively, play a larger scale war game such as Battlefield, not buy another CoD for 5 years to see some actually change in the franchise, or drink a liter of tar, and bash their face into their console until they realize how repetitive this series is.

      HaloAndMinecraftFtw Well, remember, it can't be the brilliance of stealth that Dishonored has. (I wouldn't know how good it is in Thief, I haven't played it.)

      "All Ghillied Up" in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was pretty awesome.

    • @Former_Halo_Fan
      @Former_Halo_Fan 11 лет назад +8

      ***** I haven't played Dishonored so I can't have much of an opinion on the stealth, but that's completely different. What I'm mostly trying to say is that lately CoD's stealth hasn't really been stealth. You snipe and stab a few guys, and then your cover is blown.
      For example, in a Modern Warfare 3 mission you swim under some docks and into a sewer to sneak into the city. After a few close calls, and the already mentioned sniping, you come across an army of men. But rather than finding some way around, Price decides that the best course of action is to attack them head on with his own army, effectively turning the entire city into a warzone. Yet for some reason, Markarov's (The guy you're there to kill) meeting isn't canceled the next morning.
      Or the mission where you sneak into a fortress. You leave behind a ton of bodies just waiting to be discovered, and to top it off Price throws a grenade into the control room.
      Not to mention that in every single stealth mission an NPC holds your hand through it.

      I think Mercenaries is about as close to this as you'll get. Interesting game really. It had incredibly destructible environments as a bonus, at least 2 did, I'm not sure about the first, anyways it was really up there in gameplay for its time.

    • @nou8257
      @nou8257 10 лет назад +6

      The first while a great game lacked stunning Graphics and some little things but it was solid Merc's 2 Kinda mixed feelings on it since Just Cause 2 kinda took Merc's thing and cranked it up a few notches that games world map is huge and you can go to all of it O.O.

    • @TheBlarggle
      @TheBlarggle 10 лет назад +5

      While not under attack by the US, the Metro games feature non-americans shooting guns at things... Aliens I think. Or interdimensional beings. I forget which. Pretty game.... But as repetitive as any other FPS in which the main goal is to run to the end of the level while shooting as many things as possible.

      While that idea would be superb, it'll never sell. Killing hundreds of thousands of those "brown" people? No problem. But killing American soldiers? God forbid. American news outlets will say the game is teaching kids about terrorism and that maybe America isn't always right, and whoever designed that game will be flooded by hate mail and even death threats by parents

Then the Federation's version uses smaller, much more localized ones that are arguably better (Still an Orbital Death Platform, but whatever.)
    All throughout the game the only thing I could think of was. "Those guys are the good guys.", at least with the other CoD games I have to play a little bit before coming to that the conclusion.

But when someone has baseless criticisms for your country, you're bound to get defensive.

    They did, at the end of the game. There's literally an entire mission centered around that one objective, to take the enemy-equivalent of ODIN.

    One of my favorite comments about Ghosts was something to the effect of
    >CoD has a dog as a main character before it has a woman as a main character.
    It says so much, doesn't it? Even Gears of War (which I loved because sometimes you need to embrace the part of your mind that loves the idea of a chainsaw bayonet) got in on that whole 'diversity' thing better than you, CoD. And the Gears live in the remnants of an authoritarian-style society's apocalyptic future but we can STILL find more Non White Men to include than you with your seven billion people on Earth.

      Well, to be fair it wouldn't make sense for women to be in the kind of combat roles depicted in COD. All the WWII ones had no women in the infantry, Modern Warfare focused on spec-ops, Black Ops was same, Ghosts was more of the same. It's all in a universe with the same rules as America's military. Gears of War is in a fictional universe, and can depict as many women warriors as it wants.

      ***** except for the insanely small possibility that you are shooting guns in space and this takes place in reality? basically if follows military protocol of not having women in spec ops because having a vagina makes you a liability but doesn't follow the god damn laws of physics. this is in reality right?

    • @AllGamesAwesome

    finally ending with the tagline "which way would you run?" which was the eye rolling cherry. cause the answer is "not into the machine gun fire, if thats what you are asking we already did that, its called world war one"

    • @delta8270
      @delta8270 8 лет назад +2

      ***** The Speed advantage actually comes down to it being 90% faster than the CH-47 and 60% faster than the UH-60, which for a bleeding soldier is rather considerable. You are right about it being hard to land for normal helipads but as the US are setting up their frontline military hospitals on aircraft carriers to make them harder to attack by guerilla forces, the Osprey can actually land there and due to its speed it increases the survival chances of wounded troops. I think it can also carry more troops than the UH-60 (although less than the CH-47) so ( at least for CASEVAC) it is be the superior option due to its blend of capacity and speed. It is also easier for the medics to move around in and is flying more stable during high wind speeds, making emergency operations less dangerous.

    I got Ghosts a few days ago, and I think your pretty right. I got it to play with my friends, but my internet was down, and I live by the value of campaign before multiplayer. The campaign did lack proper stealth, except for Jungle Ghosts which is the most fun I've had in the game as of yet. Most of the variations from just gunning are fun, because I got really sick of gunning really quickly. This might be because I was playing on the second hardest difficulty, but I always died really quickly unless I sat down, shot a bit, and sat down again. What I like about the halo games is that they let you survey your surroundings and give you a fair chance.... most of the time. In ghosts you have to die repeatedly to learn the enemy locations, and slowly figure out exactly what they're going to do. Then you kill them all, and there was a guy in the next room with a shotgun. If a larger portion of the game was like jungle ghosts, I might have had more fun. I had zero fun in gun fights to be sure. I did like scaling walls and playing as the dog. I'm not done, but I have encountered one thing that was total crap. The underwater level. I believe this was the last level I played, or the second to last. You literally hide behind rocks and then shoot a bit. It's the same thing but in the ocean! As for the multiplayer, I was constantly dying in deathmatch. I actually liked infection a lot, but halo did that better. Those are the only two I've tried. Finally there's extinction. Truth be told, I love extinction. Now I've only played the first level of extinction, but it was amazing! In single player it's fun, and in multiplayer, it's incredible. Nazi Zombies, eat your heart out. So yes, Ghost is pretty bad, but within the see of repetitive and unoriginal game play, there is some stuff worth playing.

    Have you noticed that the only COD games that have made it to Yahtzee's worst list were the ones made by Infinity Ward and none of the COD games made by Treyarch are on the list? He even admits that BLOPS2 is self-aware. Okay, he liked COD4 which was also made by Infinity Ward but that was in the past. Now Infinity Ward gets even worse especially their treatment of PC gamers. I can't believe I said it but I want to know what Treyarch is offering this year. At least they treat PC gamers nicely.

    Ok, does Yahtzee's voice sound slightly different in this video than the others to anyone else? It's like RageNineteen impersonating him or something.

    I kinda wish that this game was more like Call of Duty: Fallout/ Days of Ruin/ Optimistic Mad Max (like a group of soldiers who decided to save the survivors against raiders). This was what I thought when trailer came out.
    You should know that previous CoD has other countries besides US until Black Ops and Ghost, and the British Commandos were the only competent characters in MW series.

    0:34 I suddenly would really like to play a Call of Duty game set during the Cod Wars where you are a former SAS member that is currently making a living as a fisherman until Iceland declares war on the UK and it's up to you and your squad to save the day for queen and country but little do you know that the war was actually started by vengeful fish that were able to secure some nukes from the Soviets in return for long lost Atlantean technology

    I just can't stop myself replaying 4:39 over and over again. Just the fact that a freedom-loving patriot runs around hitting Aslan repeatedly with a sword and Aslan kindly asking him to stop is just great.

    I just ended hearing the Jam audiobook, and it just begs to be made into a movie, a cartoon, an adventure game or something. I couldn't stop hearing it; and barely stopped laughing.

    I seriously hope that when people say "Americans", they don't mean every single one of us. That's really unfair.

      +Persona Ohnlyne Well no, it doesn't. And I know it isn't every individual one.

    • @starkiller23610
      @starkiller23610 8 лет назад +1

      +Persona Ohnlyne Being American isn't a choice, wherein being Muslim is. Furthermore being American has no commandments, only laws to not break - wherein the Habit and Quuran both condone killing, underage sex, rape, domestic violence, anti gay and sexist views.

    • @CorporealHunter
      @CorporealHunter 8 лет назад +1

      Well being Muslim isn't technically a choice since most people are forced into it and receive such conditioning so as not to question or go against their religion despite receiving evidences of why they should, even going into moral strain when faced with more persuasive material. Besides laws and commandments are the same thing, things you should follow so as not to receive punishment.
      Besides, Americans themselves are just technically rebels and thieves that participated in lots of murder and rape and still do if the wars are anything to go by. Modern day Americans may not do these things, same goes for modern day muslims who won't kill or rape or participate in domestic violence or adhere to any moral view.

      its offensive that 70% of the people who vounteer for the US military are burly white men. video game critics would prefer that more trans black women were forced to join for representation purposes.

    you know, every year I look forward to Yahtzee's Call of Duty review. It's basically the same game every time so it's fun to see how funny he can make it this time around.
