    I’d like to point out that the ending of MW2019 wasn’t actually the end of the storyline, because Warzone culminated in the assassination of Victor Zakhaev
    And then they decided not to mention any of that, probably because it ended with a zombie outbreak and the nuclear destruction of Verdansk. They apparently thought this was insane enough to allow it to be canon, but not enough to be mentioned in the sequel

    I don’t understand the “bigoted” comment about that cop’s quote. They have cartel members from Mexico firing at people in the street, and two clearly Hispanic males with rifles and body armor are seen in the road. Is that not hard to tell the difference? Would you somehow make the assumption that Hispanic men with body armor and military-grade firearms walking down the street without jurisdiction to be there aren’t cartel?
    That’s not bigoted, it makes sense.
    I didn’t expect this video to be so overtly ignorant about “racism”. You should do some research into real life Mexican cartels. They do the exact things seen in this game to snitches. This isn’t some “racist American viewpoint”. Why would the developers include so many Mexican allied troops in the game and literally have you play as Mexican Special Forces if they didn’t like Mexicans?

In low light, at night, one man armed with an assault rifle and wearing a tactical vest, and the other wearing just a plain hoodie while waving around a handgun, in an area where the cartel operate can confuse any cop. I’d like you to make that call yourself in their shoes, especially after getting calls that cartel members and a terrorist have crossed the border and are now breaking and entering into people’s homes (probably assaulting some here or there). You’d probably do the exact same thing, keeping guns trained and barking orders until they are close enough to realize they are MSF and/or until you hear them explain their mission thereby matching a tip you received from a CIA agent. You turned that more political than it actually was. How about ding the cops for foolishly cuddling around rather than keeping eyes out for, you know, the fucking terrorist and cartel that are being chased down by said MSF they’ve just interrupted. Also, Gomez is a Hispanic name, so the one cuffing Al would have to be considered bigoted by your logic since he did so quickly and assertively. Ay di-s mío.

    The fact that Laswell first says that people are sent on a mission to either kill or capture Hassan, and then the finally DO capture him, he says that they can neither kill him nor keep him captive.
    Not only does that make the whole mission in the first place effectively pointless, the excuse of "keeping him would be illegal" is so dumb. Why would the US military or who you are as a player working for really there, why would they start the mission of capturing someone FIRST and only then, when he is captured, decide that there is a problem with legality, just on a whim, from one second to another?? I would have given the game at least 10 sins for that one, it doesn't just not make sense, but it's also seriously annoying on top of things.

    - driving through a cartel held town in a convoy of 3 identical black SUVs thinking the cartel would not be tipped off.
    - the random times the operators will decide to wear or not wear a helmet. Bullets, shrapnel, and even rocks can kill if they hit somebody in the head. Helmets help prevent that.
    - graves massacres an entire town looking for Hassan and cleaning out the cartel without intervention by the Mexican army, which is according to the game on the cartel’s payroll
    - That convoy was ridiculously long
    - Hassan took over a building and has hostages. The jurisdiction for that incident would not be the military, CIA, and British SAS. US marines are brought in the game to help clear the building. In reality the FBI would be taking point. The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team, Chicago SWAT, and other police units would be taking point.

  • @Ender0214
    @Ender0214 Год назад +3

    Some other gripes i have with the game and i want to mention is that for one, the redesigns of shepherd and ghost suck. As you said, ghost is an edgelord and he is (plus i think he looks ridiculous with that mask while not wearing a helmet. Makes his face look small by comparison) and shepherd looks like any basic old man general rather than having a distinct look.
    Thank you for also mentioning the complete disregard for Zakhaev last game. I was originally under the impression that it was a prequel not a reboot, and then learning that THIS is what they’re rebooting it to brings up my other point.
    The plot line of this series has potential. But it’s screwed by the fact that Activision instead wants to name drop old characters and ruin a great trilogy. This series legit could have been like a continuation of the previous trilogy, with the antagonists such as Al Quatala, barkov, hassan, and graves all being vastly different than antagonists seen before (plus, these take place in 2019-2022, whereas the others were 2011-2017. So it could have absolutely been a continuation.)
    Another thing that ruins this for me is that Gaz, soap, and ghost have no real distinction to be gaz, soap, and ghost by name. Gaz could have stayed Kyle Garrick only and be his own character. This game in particular makes me feel like there’s no reason to have ghost and soap of the 141 involved other than “iT’S GhOsT aND SOaP FroM ThE 141”
    Their places could have been replaced with american soldiers because they have more reason to be directly involved with the main conflict due to it being in mexico/the US. (You know what character who is NOT confirmed dead that i would actually love to see in place of Ghost? Derek. “Frost”. Westbrook. Wouldve made much more sense to me)
    Graves betraying could have been interesting if he ran a different merc company and maybe did so of his own accord instead of rehashing the shepherd betrayal and making it incredibly obvious….
    …. Wow, I actually wrote way more than i thought i would. But i think my point is made that this game could have been less annoying if it was its own story and not just a carbon copy of an iconic series.

    Hmm, I wonder why everything is entirely different from the original MW2, couldn't possibly be that it's not a remake but a direct sequel to the 2019 reboot

      It's still stupid. Why remix the story of the original if it's all going to boil down to the same plot points like Makarov and Shepard anyway?

    American squad ends up being the villain (except for the woman) and there are a dozen variants of the pride flag in multiplayer but not a single American flag to use for a banner. 50 sins.

      I feared something like this would come true in Call of Duty. Ah, diversity. And by diversity, I mean no male Americans operating for America, ever.

    I'm not so sure the cop was being bigoted when he made that statement. It's night time, the cartels were being hunted, and the cops just saw heavily armed Mexican SF walking towards them. That statement isn't really racist imo
    Also, this game, along with MW2019 aren't really remakes, since a remake would be something more like RE2R or FF7 remake (though that one might be a bit of a stretch since they deviate a lot from the og plot)
    It's its own continuity, while bringing in new characters and reintroducing ones from the original trilogy

    The only reason modern CoDs don’t have as many sins as the original MW saga is because they have half as much playtime.

    I just beat the campaign now I rate it a 5 out of 10. I loved the story, writing, characters, cutscenes, graphics and ending. I hated the flying mission, sniper mission, tank boss, the alone mission and alot of the missions I liked were to short.

    Modern Warfare (2019) was a reboot
    Modern Warfare 2 (2022) is a sequel to that reboot. It is not a remaster or remake of the original MW2 from 2009

    Been watching these for a few years and I still say "fuck yeah!" when a new one drops. It's a constant mood.
    Also, any chance you could sin any of the infamous games or perhaps dragon age? It's always better when it's a game you love haha, I can't explain why.

    There are a few things in this video that made me roll my eyes
    for one, Shephard states at the very beginning to laswell to keep things under wraps, which would explain the lack of military intervention
    another thing, Laswell killing her captor made perfect sense in the context it happened because not only did she very clearly have it covered, but how would the cast help her otherwise? she had that man in an arm bar, he was not getting out. Did you want them to shoot him? So close to laswell? probably not a good idea
    and tallying the "Laswell did some digging" which is clearly supposed to be an exaggeration was the final striking issue with this critque.
    I did enjoy a lot of this video though, you made some solid points. Those are just some that I haven't seen anyone comment on yet.

    I was really disappointed in this remake compared to the original. Basically no development happens. The old game had a full-on war, here you're just chasing the same guy all game.

    Giving a sin for not knowing where a shipping container would be shipped since there are only so many shipping ports.
    Also. Giving a sin for finding out with military top secret clearance where the shipping container got shipped with the limited amount of shipping ports. Yup makes sense.

    I can't help but crack up every time Ghost is on screen during a serious moment. That mask is so goofy looking and everyone treats him like some kind of jesus figure even though he did absolutely nothing of substance in the original MW2 aside from getting shot after one of the most boring plot twists ever.
