What’s crazy is this almost happened in the 80’s. The Soviets detected a launch from the US and orders came down to launch all their missiles. The commander on duty was skeptical and instead of blindly following the order he investigated and found out it was just a glitch in the computer. It wasn’t until the fall of the Soviet Union until the west learned of the story.

And also was his feeling that the radar detector Oko [Eye] was failing and he said "no" to the high ranks. And he beleived that if those missles was true, receiving impact without counterattack will stop a WW3 with horrible consecuences, but as we know history give him the reason being a failure by Oko
The subtle crying in the background, the entire eerie ambiance. The way it shows nuclear warfare as pieces on a board game and nothing more. It’s all truly disturbing
imagine this happening in real life, the people who control the weapons kill innocent children and get away with it, as if it were a video game. truly horrifying.
I agree. It's a simple game but playing it is always accompanied by this strange feeling... what if it was really? These numbers, how many people died, radioactive contamination. It makes you reflect on
A terrible miracle. WW3. You don´t feel a thing while living in a city bombed by a nuke. You just hear de blast and die instantly according to the center of the explosion. Great meditating music in a game so far, the real reason to play it.
Interestingly it was fully possible for a lot of people to survive depending on circumstances. Especially if you were in cover. A good example is the testing of the British nuke in the Australian outback. They wanted to see the effects of a tank so they nuked an old Centurion tank by positioning it about 300 meters from the point of detonation. The tank survived with its engines running with the only damage being that its paint from a certain direction was sand blasted off and the over pressure ripped open the panels while the antennae etc were torn off. Get further away with a sufficiently protected and sealed location and your odds of survivability skyrocket.
You will hear nothing. If your fortunate, you will be closer to the blast and die instantly. However, if you are in the zone of radiation or in a zone not affected enough to kill you, you may never be recognized again
If anything if this was a real war then this would become the standard of warfare. The way the Soviets were obliterated in this would be copied by literally everyone else as the gold standard of how to fight a war.
This is about the creepiest game I've ever witnessed. As another commenter mentioned, the music is what really sends chills down my spine, as I watched the gambits unfolding, from one defcon, to the next.
Listening to this soundtrack, sound of orders being given, the ping. You're controlling the people to do this; while being hidden away remotely, in a bunker. Is this what God intended
Truly Modern Warfare has shown how the ones commanding are rarely to non seen in the frontlines, which reminded me of Achilles quote in Troy "Imagine a king who fights his own battles, wouldn't that be a sight"
Its scary to think that now its more likely than it has been in 50 years. May God put peace on this planet and make sure we do not kill ourselves so carelessly. This game brings chills down my spine.
Now is more likely than it has EVER been - and what's even more scary is that people do not seem to care! During the cold war neither side talked openly about using nukes - people protested them and wanted the weapons to be scrapped. Now you have bat shit crazy libtard journalists writing articles about how we should nuke Russia. Do these absolutely insane morons not understand that Russia will retaliate and the world will end?!
There's an extremely realistic game, unlike this game, it's called icbm, you actually have to research and build your technology and weapons. You don't just immediately get nuclear missiles, aircraft, ships, ect. You have to build up your technology and place radar systems to increase your seeing range and you can also use satellites. You can also form alliances in that game. There's also a world destruction thing that once it reaches 100% it's game over. I recommend you guys to try it out.
And therein lies one of DEFCON's flaws: while a poignant artistic warning about nuclear warfare, it is extremely unrealistic. Most countries that have nukes also have what is called a Nuclear Doctrine, and it's basically a list of instructions for what they can and can't target with nukes and under what circumstances they are allowed to be used. The priority targets tend not to be heavy population centers, but places of military and industrial importance, and once destroyed the rest is left to conventional troops to finish up with.

I watched a no commentary playthrough of defcon last night and I had a really hard time sleeping. This is the first horror game to leave a big impression.
And now lets imagine this isnt taking place on my little screen in my room, but on the big screen in a situation room deep down in a cave like cheyenne mountain complex. The scene is actually complete but we have to ad shaking ground accompanied by rumbling sounds, and flickering lights. Imagine being the commander in there. Or the subordinate pressing the trigger and off she goes to Moskow, or elsewhere. When i look into Ukraine now i cant help myself but count the days i survived since the russians invaded. The day that happened i really thought "this is it..."
The game doesn’t have realistic military sizes, every player has an equal force. Even Africa and South America ingame have 12 modern aircraft carriers and a nuclear arsenal as large as the United States.
Did Russia deploy their entire fleet in the Pacific? This was only a "whipeout" because you didn't have to deal with their navy, at all. Subs would have taken you out within hours after "game over." London glassed.
@@HedgehogZone Russia's navy has always been notoriously shit, even at their best they were still atrociously bad when compared to everyone else. Their navy always comes in last in priority as its junior to the army.
not only Russia and Ukraine! Russia has 6000 Nuklear Warheads and they will shoot them all to the US and Europe. We all gonna die. It will be much worse than in this game now. And after that comes nuclear winter, nearly all people will starve to death because there will be nothing to harvest anymore
After what "Ukraine" (NATO) did to Russia a couple days ago, they WILL declare WWIII soon. And nukes are inevitable. Be at peace soon, may the universe have mercy on our souls...
kill "them" before "they" kill "us", or something like that. But actually the game makes it more clear that there are unlikely to be any winners in such a conflict :(
The game itself basically tells us about the idea of MAD ( Mutually Assured Destruction ) - a theory in which no countries dare to initiate a nuclear strike because they are aware of the consequences once they push the red button
@@voidplay3121 Its to "Lose the least" actually. Well theoretically that is the goal. but this guy very clearly decided that losing at all wasn't going to be a thing xP The scoring method in multiplayer is literally built around maintaining yor own population while killing theirs. tallying projected casualty ratios from nuclear detonations on population centers. Friendly cities lose you points while enemy cities gain you points.

Yeah right 😂 Because in the last three decades, NATO has put nukes into new member states - oh wait, they haven’t moved any closer since the end of the Cold War.
The only thing russia did since they started the war is making NATO stronger😂 Finland and Sweden joined Nato ukraine might aswell join soon and russia is so desperate that they call north korea for support
