Call of Duty's next subtitle to add to its overly long list of them should be deja vu, because I keep feeling like I'm playing the same game over and over. My sin videos on this series keep getting shorter and shorter because there is so little worth mentioning anymore.

One thing everyone glosses over: Even though Reagan was elected in 1980, he wasn't sworn in as President until January 20, 1981, meaning the start of the game (January 3rd, 1981) would have taken place when Jimmy Carter was in the last few days of his presidency. Reagan wouldn't have had the authorization to have the CIA find Qasim and Arash until January 20th.
Also, Green Light Teams were a real thing during the Cold War. The reason Eisenhower kept it classified was because the last thing he wanted was to have his NATO allies condemn his actions. Once it was declassified at the end of the Cold War, Germany demanded all US nuclear weapons in Germany be removed at once. Goes to show that when you are at war, you'll some questionable things.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Light_Teams
I can only sense that they would probably softly shoehorn the whole of Operation Eagle Claw into Carter's decision to send Adler, Mason and Woods after some of the men involved with the Ayatollah Coup and try to get vengeance for the kidnapping of US citizens... All just prior to Reagan coming into office, the US winning the Olympics against the Soviet Union and the subsequent release of said political prisoners in Iran back to the US after quite some time in captivity.
Which would fit perfectly, as Carter did grow a pair (if even a little bit) to get aggressive with foreign relations because his soft demeanor and attitude was getting him nowhere in global affairs. Especially after inheriting the Johnston-Nixon-Ford Vietnam disaster and the subsequent disastrous withdrawal from Saigon in 75. America was really in no position to be determining any kind of foreign issues.
The greater issue was that of the Yom Kippur War (73- Israel vs Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Egypt) which almost thrusted the Soviet Union and the United States into war themselves (as both had vested geopolitical interests in that immediate region), where cool heads and Israel's willingness to come to the table for peace talks, after obliterating and pasting the Arab Alliance, even going so far as to give the Jordanians back ownership of the Temple Mount, which is considered the holiest place for both Jew and Muslim, in the city of Jerusalem.
To say the least, Carter had to play his cards right to keep the US just barely in the game, and Reagan was able to capitalize on the momentary laxity in Carter's more peaceful global relations for a more aggressive, yet precise, means of ensuring US dominance in the Cold War and the Arms Race. Especially seeing Afghanistan as an opportunity to ruin the Soviet Union's supposed military prowess through funding the insurgency there. Which would subsequently bite the US in the ass by leaving it at the Soviet-Afghan War's end, which left an immense power vacuum between the Taliban (backed by Al Qaeda and Usama bin Laden) and the Northern Alliance, which was a collection of various Afghan tribes and leaders fighting for their very lives.
yesss this is something i realised straight away yet no one was talking about. it bugs me to this day.
As a Russian, I don't mind the villainous portrayal, but their incompetence is staggering.
Noice
Is it true that it always snows there
The portrayal of Germany in this game made me understand how it must be like for other people to have their country and culture grossly misrepresented.
@@sebomag1801 how is Germany portrayed in the game ?
@@alexk8669 inaccurate. But often minor details someone who isn’t German wouldn’t notice. But that could easily be avoided by having someone with cultural knowledge of the place have a second look at it in development. I don’t mind creative freedom taken to forward the plot or the gameplay, but what’s off in this game is just due to sloppy research (see my other comment under this video).
The fact that the Soviet ending wasn't brought up means that it's a perfect ending, free of sin.
Yes brother
Yes
Yes comrade

Personally I liked the "bad" ending better. It made more sense for Bell to betray and lead into an ambush the people who brainwashed and used you, especially considering the reward for helping is a bullet to the head once you're no longer needed.
You kill all your teammates this would mean half of BO2 would have never happened
The bad ending was surprisingly the good ending
@@Holyfuckingshitgivemeahandle black ops 2 didn’t happen in this new universe. It’s a combination of infinity wars and treyarch now which is why zakhaev was there in the story. The modern warfare reboot and the black ops reboot show that now both companies are working together to forge a new timeline together, no longer separate entities. They’ll make their own games of course, but now they are cocreating the reality of their stories together.
@@TheGreyShaman technically Black Ops 2 can fit into both timelines. The old trilogy ended around 2016 while the reboot is around 2019-2021. Kinda huge technology jump in just about 4-5 years, but still fits technically if they're willing to say fuck logic. I hope it's a new universe though, because I hated this campaign and a different company made it this time. That way I can ignore it fully and say I prefer the original Black Ops timeline.
@@iliketopotatoe I’m pretty sure it’s a new one, I for one loved the bad guy play through, surprisingly the bad ending was the good ending in this scenario
Edit: just realized this was in that comment thread where I already said the bad ending was the good ending
So no comment on the alternate endings? Personally, I liked the twist of Bell turning on Adler then, if you chose to ambush them, killing his old team. Also, I just like the subtle detail of Adler and his teammates named all turning red after you lie to them.
I hate that ending. But being presumably killed by Adler isn't good either.
@@porchofgeese_crockpot It would’ve been better if you could just kill Adler and park, and let mason and woods live or they escape.
@@MurderCount definitely. Since this is a prequel to Black Ops II, it would actually be more logical.
@@porchofgeese_crockpot The bombs would still go off though. Also Park canonically survives
I find the ending stupid, just mason and woods have survived way worse odds and just because bell (you) can kill them all it’s an ending? Fuck that, there’s a whole ass team of guys that literally do not die in any way shape or form in the campaign where they should have died hundreds of times (kgb infiltration and Soviet base run) and they die on an ambush that only changes because you take part in it :/
"Losing one weapon means you lose all of them." I will never get tired of hearing stuff like that from the logic of videogames.
"Metal Gear Solid 3 was a better take on the Cold War, and that game had a man who shot bees at you" lololololol
And a cesarean scar that becomes a snake.
And an electric bisexual Colonel and a Major that meowed to summon his men.
@@ameliadavis1711 And a femme fetale who can knock a guy out by back flipping a motorbike off the guy's chin and stick the landing.
And an old guy who only eat sunlight for survival
And a weird floaty psychic guy who was DEAD ALL ALONG!
I can't believe daddy Dartigan didn't believe a Greenlight situation was possible. America did actually place nukes in Europe during the cold war
Didn’t the UK built some nukes?
The nukes are still in army bases today
Hell, we placed nukes under OURSELVES.
Low yield, and unlikely to do any major damage, but yeah, they exist.
Wait my whole country had american bases and i think some nukes and the bases are still there
The Netherlands still has US nukes in a military base
You gotta sin the first Black Ops and the OG Modern Warefare trilogy.
The OG Black ops has no sins
@@razer_darkness1452 Except it's poorly optimized cutscenes, overuse of recycled sounds, loose use of guns and equipment that were made years after the set time, predictable story; and so much more that I could list without even going back to find copious amounts of flaws alongside these.
GamingSins already sinned them. Wait...
But no one ever sinned cod waw
@@razer_darkness1452 I mean it has some but the campaign is one of the best in the entire franchise.
8:41 the Coordinates were hidden inside the dots of the german Word for sausage.
Aber warum
Weil in jedem Satz in den Deutschland vorkommt, auch das Wort "Wurst", oder ähnliches vorkommen muss.
8:35
They brainwashed bell because normal forms of interrogation didnt work on him
Yes but everything they do after brainwashing him would have failed instantly, that's like brainwashing Hitler then sending him back to Germany
Are we just ignoring the fact that the RC car must’ve been going 75+ mph to catch up to that plane?
That's what I was thinking, that shit must've been nuclear powered to be that quick
The biggest sin is the voice casting. It just feels wrong to not hear Mason's fake American accent and Wood's harsh yet inspiring yelling.
idk, i got really sick of mason being obviously Australian in the first one
While appearantly the VA for Mason last time was busy, i still don't get why they didn't get Woods' actor
Yeah, these new guys have nothing on Sam Worthington and James Burns's performances, respectively. Their dynamic really helped to elevate the "real" Black Ops from 2010.
You know when Dartigan's first sin takes 1 minute and 26 seconds that it is going to be a good video.
35 not 26
My biggest grevience is that it’s so inaccurate! The weapons the Russians use are majority made up of not Russian weapons but Italian and German !
I don’t recall the Russians using M1911s and MP5! But still they seem to all have them !
The mp5 was definitely not used by Russians but there was m1911 copies made by the commies in limited numbers. However, I doubt they saw much use.
Yeah the majority of Russian weapons in 1981 were Ak-74 and Akm variants and Makarovs. Was it so hard to put those in the game? They're literally the most common guns in the world from that era
The fact you get to pick non binary in a Cold War game is the funniest part to me.
And the nb people don't even play COD
Why actually kill Bell is a good question. He could be a great use to the United States even if he doesn't like them.
They didn’t need him. After stopping the nukes, (Only in good ending) America kinda wins. Bell was only used to stop the nukes.
Same thing would've happened to Mason in BO1 if Nova 6 worked and he survived. After they finish the mission they're a loose end, a witness for war crimes.
It's because bell had a lot of Adler's memories in his/her brain (like the vietnam mission) and probably knew a lot of things that he/she wasnt supposed to know which is why adler killed bell
I think in any rational story-plotline, Adler would actually be the main villain. It's not just that he's ethically challenged and straight up evil at times, but he's also really bad at his job and in a real world context his actions would ultimately do more harm than good.
Perhaps one thing to keep in mind is that in the final mission, they enter Soviet territory with helicopters from an Aircraft Carrier, even if the helicopters make the outward journey without returning, that puts the ships 450 or 500 km from the coast entering in the correct base to attack being that they are few kilometers from Murksman where the northern fleet of the USSR is anchored. It was easier and more realistic to fall into an ambush with data supplied by an agent of doubtful loyalty than to do the mission on film. If the helicopters must return, it puts them at most about 250 km, the British fleet was detected at 200 km by Argentine radars that were older than those that the USSR should have in its bases or its ships in 1982. Putting people in a base in that way and using vehicles supplied by agents is already rare, it would seem more sensible to enter at night with less than 20 commandos in rubber boats from submarines, which was done in 1982 in Malvinas / Falkland by divers tacticians of the Argentine navy. good video I'm going to subscribe, I'd appreciate it if you read me.
The reason why Adler had Bell infiltrate the KGB HQ was because the second Mason sees Kravchenko is still alive, he would have compromised the mission. We can confirm this to how he was when Kravchenko popped out of that tank in Afghanistan. Mason may or may not have kept himself from shooting him at point blank. But that proves Hudson and Dartigan wrong.
Thats true, but how would they know kravchenko was there, better yet alive still?
The thing that pisses me off is that Adler puts all his faith in Bell alone when there are better options, but then doesn't use Bell when Bell is the perfect choice. So much time and potential political backlash could have been saved
Dartigan is most certainly "The Cleanest Best Pleasure."
I cant drink him at 2a.m.,not its clean and pure anyway.(not an adult joke.but still a joke.)
Goddamn catch a predator reference. Props.
@@Whasteen please sir, I really drove all this way for no reason?
Why don’t you have a seat?
Haha TCAP reference.
You should have gotten into the two side missions, that in the end actually change the ending a little bit, and also the other two alternate ending, one where Bell is killed by the team e the nukes are activated, and the other one where Bell kills everyone. Also, the whole mind control level got some really cool things to sin
Add one sin for mispronunciation of "nuclear". They keep saying "nucular" in the game.
As someone who lived through the time period in question, that happened a LOT.
So it's historically accurate...but still a sin. (ding)
This is in my top 3 pet peeves. It's REALLY not that hard to say nuclear correctly.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that bothered lol
No it’s not a sin it’s characterisation
THANK YOU.
This game had the chance to make Adler, a new character to the series, Perseus the whole time, especially after the opening cutscene mentioned the possibility of soviet spies in America
Unfortunately the game decided to make the Soviet spy an actual Russian who isn’t even relevant to the series and only shows up in the decidedly noncanon ending since this game and 2019’s Modern Warfare take place in the same timeline
I hate the whole "operator" system. Instead of playing as an actual soldier, it's more atune to overwatch where there's more than one of the same person. I hate it because it's stupid.
Ikr I'm tried of all this special ops bs. Just let us play as regular soldiers
I am genuinely surprise he knew what that helmet was called 13:44 but also surprised his didn’t make a “LMG MOUNTED” joke there too
Odd characterization for Mason & Woods.
If you make Bell former KGB during character creation, then talk to Lazaar before infiltrating KGB headquarters, he will point out Bell is former KGB and ask him/her if they have ever been inside. Then he'll quickly apologize and say he shouldn't have brought it up and says something about not bringing up past lives. Kind of pointing to the idea that Lazaar might know that Adler brainwashed Bell. And unless Mason & Woods were kept in the dark, it's kind of hard to imagine both of them not being upset with Adler given what happened with Mason in BO1.
Do some of the older COD games like the OG MW series or the OG black ops games and World at war

I'm the most underrated man in the world: if I ruled it, we would all live in Utopia. But people don't know me, and they don't know what they're missing!
But yeah this one comments thing wasn't really the worst
I think the biggest sin that Activision and Call of Duty have achieved is taking genuinely interesting times and premises and making them as cookie cutter as possible. I like the idea of brainwashing a Cold War Russian agent to help fight battles or infiltrate the Kremlin, but only Activision and Ubisoft could make those boring and generic. But between those 2, at least Activision’s game’s don’t crash as much as Ubisoft’s.
LOL... yeah. Best thing is that there where real plans to nuke major cities to stop the advance of the Russians. But everyone knew about that.
West Germany was extremely prepared for a war. You where able to remove every street sign and every bridge was rigged to blow.
The main reason why goons stay loyal can roughly be divided into two:
One, money. And adage says ‘Birds die for food while men die for wealth’. Pay a man enough and you can slaughter his family in front of him
Two, control of heart. One of the reasons the Nazis and Vietnamese were so fearsome as enemies was their dedication to their cause. Death was nothing to them but honor. Though some may question the leader’s actions, a lot would see the actions of the leader as some kind of wise act based of the systematic brainwashing they’ve undergone from their youth
16:05 Based on that map, there are three bombs in Austria. One is in Vienna(capital), the rest are in the middle of nowhere
that "how does it feel" hit so bad
"And a 6 hour campaign for you weirdos that like that sort of thing"
He knows he's saying this about the Black Ops series, right? Yeah, the multiplayer is a big thing with cod games, but Modern Warfare and Black Ops are heavily known for their campaigns, at least, they used to be
You keep asking why they brainwashed bell instead of interrogating them but they did they could not break them
Let's be fair, we don't watch Dartigan for his accuracy.
"There is no reason to bring along Bell instead of anybody else"
Except that Bell has hacking skills that could later benefit the team once he and Adler were in the vault.
You should’ve gone with the betrayal and green light bombing ending.
That’s the best one although i guess it’s not the most sin worthy either
Not Canon unfortunately, i personally also believe it's the better ending
@@Brian-tn4cd i mean who wouldn't want to commit genocide than blame the Americans?
@@richardendresz161 yeah exactly, also it makes no fucking sense that you discover you've been brainwashed and you help the people who messed you up, they did nothing to redeem themselves in my eyes
@@Brian-tn4cd For me, it was more of a 'fuck y'all, but there are bigger fish to fry.'
@@TheDapperDragon it makes sense because a soviet soldier who believes in global communism would do the bad ending.
But even if I was brainwashed and everything, I would never destroy Europe
If we end up with "Little Hope" over "Cyberpunk" for the next sins video, imma lose my mind. That Cyberpunk video is gonna be long as hell and imma love every minute of it
Unless your one of those people which think that game is a untouchable masterpiece than hell yeah I'm excited
@@Lonewolf360gaming truuuue, there are gonna be tons of people who hate on the video. Just like the people who hated on Dartigan for the Red Dead 2 video.
@@MrGroudon unfortunately
I mean it's probably gonna take a long time just to research it alone, so we're likely gonna get Little Hope *_anyway._*
@@Jamushu sweeeet
"Bragging about destroying the west is almost a verbal tick in that crowd" Dartigan has jokes man
Surprised he didn't sin that you can't really see or kill Bell in the airfield mission, because I noticed that, one of the first things I thought to do after beating it the first time. Thought maybe there'd be a paradox trophy like in MW remastered.
The Reagan impersonation is fairly good, though, I'll give it that.
The reason Adler killed Bell is because Bell knew all about Adler more than anyone else and Adler is highly secretive, so Adler was just tying up loose ends
Ik everyone is talking about how good the twist was, and I think it's overrated. The reason why I love how Mason was brainwashed is because it was a new idea (not shoehorn), and how ambiguous that Mason may have killed JFK. This feels alright, but I wanted to be a hero without being brainwashed again, and its running dry. Now when I expected a COD that's in this era I'm going to suspect brainwashing everytime. Campaign is one of the better though.
This campaign, while not bad, is definitely not as good as Black Ops 1 or 2.
It steals a lot from both, but just isn't as good.
Game was definitely rushed and should've been delayed to 2021.
Honestly I think either nostalgia or you being young would make you think it was *_"New"_* because it wasn't.
About the only good thing about being brainwashed this time is the Juxtaposition.
Finding out you were never the good guy at all, having the choice to not only refuse to believe everything you've been told but to betray your captors (something that should've been offered to Mason, since CIA brainwashing actually severely fucks with your head. The only thing BO1 & 2 got right), just of course switching the roles. Since now **YOU'RE** the Russian.
I don't even know what you mean by running dry, since we've only had 2 CoD's do this and it's not a common plot in other games.
@@Jamushu Its nostalgia that got to me, since the BO1 twist got me so well, and I remember that for a while.
@@Gruntvc True, but you know COD, they have to release a new COD every year no matter what
I kinda always thought that hearing/reading the foreign languages were just the characters translating those things in their head
Which would be a much better option tbh. Have the text in og language and add internal narration, maybe even a comment or two from the MC.
@@lucasmillerthelewderofloli9327 i kind of wish it did an effect i saw in another game (can't remember name) where you see the text first in the OG language and then the text changes to the language your game is set to
@@Brian-tn4cd It does that in Cyberpunk. It's pretty cool.
@@revdylan funnily enough I replayed the Campaign for CW recently, and is does do the translating effect thing on like optional files i missed the first time around
I'm surprised, BOCW got less sins than I thought it would.
“Im a goddamn Woods, Mason.” - Onion
Amazing
I like how you missed the Soviets apparently having Hueys @10:18
Everything Wrong With Black ops Cold War:
1) It exists
The files are not written in english. They switch from russian into english for the viewer. Bell sees them as russian
Duh
They could've very well made it a bilingual bonus instead of a cop out like that.
Acceptable....except that when Bell prints the files, they're in English. Woods even reads them. And the Soviets have no reason to have a English printer in a secret training facility in the middle of Nowhere, Ukraine, Soviet Union.
@@templarwyvern9236 Then again, in BO1, Woods did talk to some Soviet soldiers in Russian while disguised.
@@templarwyvern9236 woods knows Russian
fun fact: the final DLC Zombies map for Black Ops 4 collapsed the Call of Duty multiverse into a single universe, which now puts all of them, including the Zombies mode, into the same timeline. This is fine and honestly one of the more interesting parts of Call of Duty currently, but for whatever reason the cast of Modern Warfare got a whole new origin that brought in new characters, nations, and groups that interact with each other differently from the original timeline like Zakhaev dying before the events of 2019's Modern Warfare and his son (who originally died during COD4) taking his place, while Mason, Hudson, and Woods still went through the same events and played out the plot of Black Ops 1, with the only two major differences being that there's no reference to Woods being taken prisoner and later found in Angola and Mason never encountering Raul Menendez (although he is mentioned in the multiplayer).
Well it’s plots used to just boil down to “fight the axis and win ww2” but those days are long over..
That description of CoD at the start is really accurate
Yeah, I never got to see these cutscenes properly because it lagged worse than a Bethesda game. Anyone else?
The cutscenes lag a bit anytime Bell has something to say. They make you wait a few minutes before your dialogue choices pop up.
The Russian "SnapPoint" holosight in the game is actually mounted backwards. It's based on the super recent and modern Valdai PG-210 Holosight. I look at it and laugh everytime.
So, there is something about the final scene in the "good" ending that I am curious about... It cuts to the credits with a gunshot, theoretically, Bell could've shot first and killed Adler
I personally think bell died the second alder fired. It cuts right to black, which, as terrifying as it could be, may realistically happen
Some extra sins:
- Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is the last CoD game that was able to not feel too short and not feel like it has too rushed ending
- Even if Bell is black, female, or both, he sure can walk around Lubyanka in male Soviet uniform without turning everybody's heads.
- Why do the developers go out of their way to not make this fault of Soviet Union? It doesn't really deserve defending. Why do they blame some rogue agent working without orders?
- Why are the playable characters not voiced, even if they are outside of the playable parts? I would call that Fallout approach, if Fallout 4 didn't have fully voiced main characters.
- Every time someone gets shot in a head from point-blank range with a handgun, either as a part of takedown or cutscene, a strange sound of choking on blood is played, even though the person dying has the throat intact.
- Why did they send Mason and Woods to Yamantau, instead of Woods and Weaver, who were there and know the place? Also, Mason gets flashbacks because of a place he was never at.
- The reason why the team is sent to Solovetsky Islands is to take care of 3 WW2 style anti-AA guns, which, even in large numbers and against WW2 bombers, couldn't protect most of European cities from being bombed to a ground. 3 of them against jet bombers would do absolute jackshit, considering they didn't do nothing against the EMP blast earlier.
- this game could have been so much better if it just was 30% longer and concluded with Bell getting Perseus (or choosing not to, whathever), instead of teasing the sequel we all know will not be.
For the early sins the reason they can’t interrogate Bell is because he was too resistant to the interrogation
U didnt say anything about "I'm a goddamn onion mason" I'm sad
You know that you in a american side of story when secret operatives in 80's looks like this 13:21 . Guy on the left looks like he just was sentenced for prison and a guy from the right like he was teleported though time from nearest barber shop. Which makes both of them too suspicious to even consider agent work. And let's not forget that poor soldier on background, who, for some reason, is allowed to stay on a high priority meeting, like a tennis court lackey.
Is this a Christmas miracle Dartigan has uploaded?
Gorbachev never lost the Cold War. He won it, along with the US.
I'm from America, this isn't pride talking.
No one lost the Cold War, we all won, because at the end of the day, there was no nuclear war to begin with.
Don't insult Gorbachev like that.
Not gonna lie, its cool as hell to see people in the comments that are privy to history like this
To add to this, I don't really think the Soviet Union dissolution can be blamed on Gorbachov, either. He was in charge of what amounts to a failed state suffering large-scale socio-economic collapse. While not from the USSR proper, I lived in the former Soviet Block at the time, and I know first-hand just what that looked like. Gorbachov played the hand he was given, managing to both keep his head and avoid nuclear war and for that he should be commended. I don't really think there was anything he could have done to keep the USSR together, however.
Millions of former Soviet citizens dead in the early 90's, local wars between Soviet nations, Moscow losing control over its satellite states - I would clearly call it Gorbachev's defeat in the Cold war
If USSR won the Cold War alongside with the United States, then how the hell USSR ended up dissolved?
No. The Americans won. The world lost.
13:41 Is anyone gonna talk about how the GP-5 gas mask unrealistically jiggles like that?
The non-binary stuff was weird for the 80’s and nobody really talked about it but it was nice for the few non-binary people who do play CoD. It’s good to be inclusive for everyone.
Cringe
If you have a penis, you are a man, if you have a vagina, you are a woman. There is no such thing as “non binary.” Sure, if you feel more comfortable calling yourself non binary, that’s fine, but when you force other people to refer to you as whatever you feel more comfortable with rather than your biological sex is just an inconvenience.
13:50, in Russian, ‘Maska’ means mask. That model wasn’t called that, instead, it was called the Altyn helmet.

Thank you for making this video and shining a light on all the game's flaws, but there are two points that can be rebuttled. Belikov was chief of security, so it only makes sense that he's aware of all flaws in the system to exploit in order to get his team into the building. Also, Adler says "interrogation didn't work, but we had a backup plan with MK Ultra" or something. You could sin the fact that the explanation was half-arsed, but it's still somewhat of an explanation.
When cold war almost has the same amount of sins as halo 4

12:28 it’s also a good thing that Mason or woods didn’t go because in that mission you see Kravchenko which Mason would’ve single handedly ruin the mission due to him still being brainwashed by Resnov wanting to kill Kravchenko on sight
as for Woods i’m sure him and Kravchenko still have beef from bo1
The biggest sin was you guys not covering the alternate ending, that shit was lit, way better than the “good ending” good doesn’t always mean better like how light and dark don’t mean good and bad.
I don't care about this game. But I'll feed the algorithm on anything Dartigan drops
Same. Never played any CoD games, but I've certainly watched many sins videos of games I'm not playing anyway. These are just so entertaining. The same with movie sins etc.
@@Quusikko cinemasins isnt fun to watch man...they just speak nonsense. However, dartigan speak facts even though like 90% of the sins are basically nitpicks

WOOOOOOOOOO YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
AWSOME VIDEO BRO! Can you now do everything wrong with Mortal Kombat 11 aftermath?
Dude your jokes hilarious in this video. The deadpan delivery gets me every time
Do the dev’s of the games you absolutely brutalise ever reach out to you for good or bad?
Best one minute and 26 second opening rant for COD Black Ops Cold War I've ever heard.
Why does this guy sound like the google translate voice
drinking al that vinegar must ruin your vocalcords
Love the videos
I think the whole Russian talking in English thing is because Adler is fluent in in Russian so it would sound like English to him. This also explains why everyone in MGS3 speaks in English and not Russian.
Damn my man gave this game 1 minute and 34 seconds of roasting so hard Activision wonybe able to recover from this
Sin on you for not sinning them Soviet Heavies
Goddamn that Splinter Cell burn was on point.
I can forgive the short campaign as we get a quick intro as to who the non Mason / Woods characters are in multi-player.
However. No Adler, Bell, OR the guy who dies in Canon (instead of the girl) are spoilers given to those who give a damn that they don't survive the events of the campaign
At around 13:40, that's not a Maska helmet. I believe you're referring to the rare, visored face shield for that helmet but the glass is way bigger on the actual face shield. It's likely a Rys-T.
I have played every COD campaign since cod aired in 2003 and this one was one of my favorites. One of the best campaigns since BO1, BO2 and the modern warfare trilogies. Cool mysterious characters with some depth and alternative gameplay with a nice change of pace and puzzles.
My biggest criticism I could levy against the CoD series would be the absolute laziness on display when it comes to the story or their utter lack of innovation.
Storywise, you have the same "HE A TERRORIST" storybeats every other year when the game isn't ripping of "manchurian candidate" and hey, sometimes the plots are combined to be one noodly mess. All the while in Multiplayer, the game does not innovate at all and just releases the same arrangement of game modes with a different coat of paint - most of the time with the same unbalanced weapons - while sprinkling in the odd "innovation" like battle royale: A trend so far behind with the sole intention of hopping on a bandwagon that is so overcrowded I couldn't even be arsed to level any actual criticism against that one.
i'd be delighted if COD finally make the sequel of Ghost and Advanced Warfare, it's been long overdue
Hopefully ghost
We need a waw remastered
I dont care about a sequel to AW, but they definitely should revisit Ghosts (and do it right) since it ended the way it did.
Couldn’t Perseus have just detonated the nukes from Duga after his plans to detonate them in Slovetsky were stopped?
I wanted to see the Sins for the 2 extra missions and the other ending, but ohh well
Nice video nonetheless
You should've sinned the fact that there was only one helmet and they all put on armor in the mission where you infiltrate the KGB headquarters.
longest opening sin ever from dartigan!!
8:23 lol so true exactly what I think whenever I play that mission
