Call of Duty has NO ICONIC CHARACTERS? That is the biggest bruh moment I've ever seen
I come here before this comment gets like 8000 likes.
Edit: This comment aged really well
Here pretty quick
Yo Act Man I’ve been watching since you were a semi small channel. Congrats on your amazing growth and success.
Act man and angry joe keep it real
It's time to take the gloves off...
Dev: “Call of Duty doesn’t really have iconic characters.”
Captain Price: “How’d a muppet like you pass selection?”
It hurt my feelings
Holy shit how'd I forget price. I was thinking of resnov, mason, ghost, the 4 characters in zombies, but how'd I forget price
Gen. Sheperd be like: that one is such an loose ends (shoot the woman who stated that COD never have iconic character)
"Vasili!"
"Tank! Northeast! Keep your eyes open Evans!"
"Martin! Over here. Get into the car."
@@ghillepig2 perhaps "4: Modern Warfare" started some iconic characters and simply "Modern Warfare 2" Unlike the first 3 Installments?
The whole 4th Reich idk was a huge missed opportunity. Imagine if once that happened, Vanguard team gets tasked w/ hunting down Nazi’s in actual countries that are known to or allegedly harbored Nazi’s after WW2 (Spain and Argentina for example). They would be performing the first unsanctioned missions into “neutral countries”, essentially becoming the first black ops unit which would tie in w/ the new story there telling in Warzone.
This sounds better than the whole vanguard story and would even make more sense lmao
Would have been nice
This is a great idea
Bro just made a more compelling and logical story than the Vanguard writing team 💀
Countries like the United States?
Some *iconic* Call of Duty characters:
- Captain Price
- Soap McTavish
- Ghost
- Reznov
- Mason
- Woods
NO NO NO NO SOAP!!!!!
R.i.p soap
"The numbers, Mason. What do they mean?"
Yuri?
That's 6 right off the top of your head that's not including the guys from your squad in WW2 or the people you play as.
Imagine not knowing who Captain Price is, and being in charge of a Call of Duty game. Unbelievable.
Results in this pile of diarrhoea. Whoulda thunk it.
This comment needs more likes
This is what happens when you put Gen Z in charge of a nearly 20 year old legendary game franchise. You get dog shit.
I'd be more worried if they didn't know who Alex Mason was.
@@LethalByChoice these are millennials in charge of the game I'm pretty sure lmao
The dogs are not poisonous. Don't be ridiculous, Joe.
They're venomous.

Venomous is poisonous
@@abramsullivan7764 LOL no. Venomous creatures inflict their venom with (usually) a bite. Poisonous creatures are toxic to eat.

A German soldier seeing a black British commando prisoner and then just laughing at him, would be 10 million times more effective than any shitty 5 minute speech about how racism is bad. It would immediately say what it need too. It would immediately give the player a reason to hate the enemy in less than 2 seconds.
It is still dumb and irretating. That has nothing to do with ww2
This forced inclusion and diversity just screams "I am inferior". It's self-defeating and insulting.
He could've just said:
"HAHAHAHAHAHAH, YOU'RE BLACK! HOW CAN BLACK MAN BE IN A BATTLEFIELD?!"
...and then the rest of the soldiers start laughing too.
And boom, he'd be a memorable villain.
Plus what the black guy said about the colonial troops in the Rhineland „marrying“ the women there…..
Irl they mass raped women there.
F*ck the game
The fact that you seek reasons online in 2022 to "hate the enemy" means that you have no business discussing about these things. Stick to your woke rainbows, unicorns and safe bubbles.
Im mad that nobody in the conference room screamed Captain Price after she said COD has no memorable characters
THATS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL DEAD UNDERSTAND
Or Viktor reznov, ghost, chernov, that's three right there.
What is sad about the death by dog is that in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare they actually have animations for when a dog attacks you and kills you. That game came out in 2007...
And you can escape from it too unlike this game where you just die on impact apparently
It’s evolving, just backwards.
People complain about this now? The paws of death started way back in Black Ops 1. Probably World At War but I haven't played that one.
@@alexanderulv3886 14 years of backward
@@LightLegion I stopped playing after world at war and always remember there being the dog attack animation
"Call of Duty has never had any iconic characters." I don't even play Call of Duty and I still know who Captain Price is. This has the same energy as when Kathleen Kennedy claimed that Lucasfilm didn't have any expanded universe material to pull inspiration from when writing new stories.
I played mw2, ghosts, World at war and black ops 1, 2 and 3. With that fact I present the people I know without much thinking
Price, Makarov, Zakaev, Sandman, Soap, Ghost, Roach (kind of), Elias, Rorke, Mason, Woods, Dimitri Petrenkov, Resnov, Dragovich, Grafchenko and finally Steiner.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT WITH NO CHARACTERS?!

@@umbreonstuff2002 roebuck anyone
I almost died when Joe mentioned bs marketing and compared to what's in actual game also this is another epic rewiev that I can watch few times over and over
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 and 2 had incredible campaigns. With some of the most memorable characters and moments. One being the sniper/pripyat map.
"Doesn't have iconic characters"
statements like these are why Sledgehammer is on the fast track to being One less loose end.
I'm not taking a nasty or vindictive tone, but I suspect what she meant was - there were no *female* iconic characters, and with today's obsession with ID politics, that's as good as not having any iconic characters.
Either way you cut the cake, it's laughable. No iconic characters?? Uhh…
Price: Nikolai, we gotta get Soap out of here!
Nikolai: Da! I know a place!
@@sgtbaker2072 I figured that’s what she meant but she should come out and say it, because it’d be true. I 100% agree there is not a single memorable character in this series that isn’t a gruff white guy. Trying to be noncommittal though invalidates the point as it usually does.
And on top of that Vanguard didn’t change this by throwing out what isn’t even their first case of “we have Sniper Wolf at home”.
They just wanna say they’re being progressive while really they continue catering to the insecure white frat bro audience, which makes sense given Activision is run by insecure white frat bros.
@@300IQPrower Farah is the only one i can think of, that was ok
such a horrible statement. I don't play call of duty but even I remember Ghost, Soap, and Price were "the call of duty guys "
What a slap in the face to the modern warfare fans they should feel embarrassed and stupid
"We never had any iconic characters to latch onto."
*Soap, Nikolai, Price, Ghost, Mason, Woods, Hudson, Resnov, Yuri, Makarov, and Ramirez laughing beyond the grave*
Exactly. Are they forgetting that they just rebooted Modern Warfare and Black Ops purely on the fact that Captain Price, Ghost, and Woods are such recognizable flagship characters?
Dont forget Gaz, Foley, Griggs, Vasquez, Sandman, Menendez, Hudson, Shepard... it's hilarious how they couldn't even come up with one of these names
@@wlot28 I only included ones that were reoccuring for the most part
Are any of them WW2 people though? I don't know Call of Duty Lore because...there really isn't one. It's a joke. LOL Thats why their Multiplayer is so good, because nobody cares about the Story/Single Player.
They could at least had the decency to mention Price. He was around for such a long time, and a great father figure for the series...
They made a movie instead of an actual game 💀
One of the biggest problems in coorporate games today
@@wetube6513 yup but it works because most kids are entertained as long as they get to push a button. That's what quick time events are for
Remember when cutscenes were utilized in games to set the tone and atmosphere and maybe offer some brief exposition about what you're doing and why? Yeah, me too.

"Call of Duty has no iconic characters"
Viktor Reznov: for three days, I have hunted him. For three days, luck alone has saved his wretched life.
I feel like I've seen this before.
*Kathleen Kennedy saying there's no source material*
Have we seen this before?
I mean, the charachters are more like walking tropes, not really charachters. Eg price is just a generic stoic british tough officer; it doesnt even matter that theres like 20 of him during time, theyre all the same. So its not completely wrong.
Although, I guess the robot in Infinite (advanced?) warfare actually had some basic personality and an arc? Like Rogue one; kinda ironic, the robot is the most human charachter in the story.
@@termitreter6545 we humans like to anthropomorphize things. A lot of us think robots are cool, so I can see why they are made with human characteristics in stories.
@@codysellers4151 Sure, its just strange that the robots in Rogue One or Infinite CoD seem more "human" and complex than the actual humans.
@@termitreter6545 i think it’s interesting that some of us humans look at robots In such a manner. Something which objectively does not have emotions or human traits.
I can see where you’re coming from though.
Imagine not knowing Woods, Mason, Price, Soap and yet being in charge of making the game
Yeah, I cannot imagine that.
Imagine not listing reznov 🖕👎
YEAH! An OG COD Players who have writing talent probably better at writing vanguard story than that woman who said COD Never have iconic characters and she is holding position most COD player can only dreamed of (Being a part in his or her favorite game development)
Even Adler!
I know who Price and Mason are and I only played 2 COD games. I’m in my 40s and play mostly sims and tactical shooters, those were absolutely iconic characters. They’re literally hiring people who don’t play video games.
I remember 10 years ago when people were saying every cod was the same. If only we knew how good we had it back then
"It brings back the intense, visceral, boots on the ground gameplay"
No, that was World at War. And World at War was just vicious, gives no shits, and just displays a story of how war was really like for the soldiers that fought in it. It was simple, but it was dark, brutal and outright monstrous.
I know right
The American section on the campaign was more intense and vicious for me due to the Japanese suddenly appearing out of nowhere with their bayonets charging at you. Yeah, World at War is the best.
@@josephdragunov374 yeah! Literal ambushes were used!
To me waw is the definitive ww2 game.
P.s. we need a korean war game with waw's grit and tone it would be perfect.

U two made my day. Thank you.
I was watching AJ play through the campaign on Twitch, and was really amused by the lack of attention to detail in the game. AS-44s in Stalingrad, Volkssturmgewehrs in North Africa and the Japanese using STG-44s and MG42s? What the hell? I'm not asking for 100% documentary-esque historical accuracy, but at least give the soldiers period-accurate weapons.
Even some of the cutscenes didn't make sense, why would the Americans need a Japanese plane to bomb the enemy defenses? Did the Marines somehow forget about the 20 aircraft carriers that would have been stationed off-shore?
Shit in comparison with vanguard is BFV the most accurate game there is like literally
@@frankrichter1634 and even BF5 is filled with inaccuracies
The reason this game still bothers me is because of this:
My older cousin (who is not a gamer mind you) got me this for Christmas one year. Of course I was grateful but I also felt bad for her because she had no idea what she was buying and just picked something new out. (No I did not ask for it) and bless her heart for the consideration.
About 2 months later I get the chance to trade it in. You know what they gave me? TWENTY DOLLARS. that’s it. Twenty bucks for a game that cost my cousin 89.99CAD

Can't tell what's worse honestly.
The people who still buy into this garbage or the companies that force their devs to make such garbage.
Crazy how Treyarch has been getting the shit end of the stick and getting less and less dev time and YET somehow some way treyarch has still been the best dev team
Why not both?
Both they are a symbiotic relationship,
It's just like Madden, they know people are going to buy it anyway so why make any effort.
The people who buy the garbage allow the garbage to keep existing so I would say the former are the worse, if they stopped buying it at least this endless cycle could actually end

Joe naming all those German soldiers before shooting them is more fun to watch than the actual game itself.
The fact that the majority of players will sit on ship haus 24/7 to camo grind for warzone, a game mode which is currently unplayable through bugs, says a lot about the franchise
"We weren't sure how to improve gameplay without causing a lot of bugs, so here's a movie! "
Small advice to the developers, if they wanna make a movie, make a movie, don't pretend to be a game developer
Woah that’s totally what they did 🤯
Awesome can’t wait for vanguard 2 and 3.
Thing is, if they didn't rush to throw something out every single year, they could accomplish both. But they know it'll make money so fuck it. Who am I? One of my favorite games is the Metro series where the game play is just as good as the storyline.

“We have two more stories that we want to tell with these characters”
So why didn’t you tell these stories in this game?
Oh I know why, because FUCK YOU GIVE ME MONEY!
Honestly my biggest gripe with new CoD games is the ttk being extremely short. I felt Black Ops 1 was great because it gave you time to fight back.
Imagine making a WW2 game, going heavy on the cutscenes so that “things would feel more grounded and real” and simultaneously choosing this as your cast of characters… 😂
Liberals don't think, thats the problem.

Women amirite
The Pacific: has STGs and MG42s
Stalingrad 1942: has STG44s
North Africa 1941: has STG44s
Activision: yeah this is okay
Those were prototypes in that time they didn’t see mass use till like 1944 wtf activision.
The Japanese with revolver shotguns
In CoD Big Red One, the story spans from 1942 to 1945. In '42, you see M3 Stuarts. In '44, then you see M4 Shermans and StG44s. This was the care Activision used to have.

Precisely the same as Disney's "First gay character", "First Female Superhero", ect ect.
Remember how in WaW how they introduced you to Reznov as Dimitri by escaping death, him teaching you how to snipe, then having the epic fight through the city?
That was the good time when they mimicked good, classic war movies like Enemy at the Gate's Stalingrad scenes. When video games stopped mirroring good ole classic cinema of the 2000s-2010s, they became a bore. Blacks Ops 1 ripped some of their best scenes from classic movies like Deer Hunter. Hipsters behind the script make it so silly, don't realize people actually love mature topics.
@@maaz322 also there hasn't been any iconic war films for quite a while so they dont have much to rip off.
@@davestar4718 well there’s Dunkirk, but god-forbid one makes a WW2 game where the allies actually lose for once
Vendetta is the best mission in CoD history.
@@camjohnson5517 Dunkirk was definitely iconic but not for its 'battle' scenes, more for its cinematography and dramatic tension. There's also 1917, but COD has never made a WW1 game to this date. Wouldn't suit their multiplayer gunplay cookie cutter. I think the best COD's were inspired by action/war films and added the right amount of video game style and story. Nowadays they have way too much creative liberties.
“Come on comrades! It’s a man not a dog!”

That betrayal is felt even to today.
That being said, this pathetic attempt at invalidating the history of Task Force 141 is pure insulting and shows the lack of braincells in the developers.

The losses faced by Price
The death of Soap when trying to take out Makarov
The death of Ghost and Roach when Sheperd's betrayal came to light along with Shadow Company
The death of PFC Joseph Allen after his identity was leaked to Makarov even after following through by killing innocent Russians at the airport.
The death of Yuri in an attempt to stop his friend, Makarov
The deaths of Archer and Toad when they were acting as overwatch for Roach and Ghost, killed by counter snipers who used thermal visions to find them, preventing them from warning Roach and Ghost of Sheperd's betrayal

The fact is, almost all indie games never have these issues, it’s like the old days where you can just pick up a game regardless of cost or validity and enjoy it to your hearts content. It’s not to say all AAA developers are bad, but I wouldn’t mind some being out of business.
Seems like a lot of AAA developers are cheaping out because they know they have a reliable fanbase that will eat garbage up like nothing. It actually hurts me because they have the resources to develop amazing games but choose not to out of pure profit. I can't imagine what Escape from Tarkov would be like with AAA level funding and development.
Well, that's not true tbh. Almost all indie games are trash, so we don't know or hear their names.
As they don't have a budget for advertising, we don't play or even come across hundreds of stupid indie games.
We only hear the good ones, which is pretty few compared to the whole indie sector, and that's why we think indie games are likely to be more successful about innovation in the end.
But we hear almost every AAA, so... it's not accurate to criticize like that IMO.
Cough ACTIVISION cough
you can't just compare them to the 1% of the 1% of the indies that actually reach the mainstream and pretend that somehow if you have very few people working on it then no stupid decisions happen. A smaller scope and creative freedom surely help removing what's unnecessary to create a more focused, catered experience but the "indies are better" wagon is mostly full of ignorance.
All AAA devs not named Nintendo are terrible. Someone made a good video about it the but to save time, game companies nowadays can "update" a game after release, so releasing an unfinished product is ok.
35:10 This is exactly why in any FPS game with weapon progression (camos, attatchments, etc), you absolutely NEED to have it be a purely points-based system, with no references individual k1lls or headsh0ts. Terms like weapon exp and say "critical hit points" could stand in perfectly, and be scaled based on the game mode, even dynamically for certain seasonal events, to promote new modes, or if the devs notice they were wrong about the real pacing of certain modes (because players will definitely find out and flock to it if they find any notable discrepencies). For example, the same pub-stomping player may get 70-80 elims in a frantic 10v10 mode, where they may only get 15-20 in a plant and defuse mode (even though each individual one was far more difficult and contributed far more to the outcome of the match)... so if any challenges are requiring any specific number of anything, playing plant/defuse modes is just wasting your time if your goal is to unlock things. Vague points systems let players experience more of the game or just do the things they enjoy most, without feeling like they're missing out by not playing the fastest TTK modes.

The fact Laura Bailey was the sniper was mind-blowing with how bad this game was.
I don’t understand how they f’d up the story with these drawn out movie cutscenes lol. World at War did it so much better while keeping you in the game playing through the cutscene.
Given the quality of the cutscenes and cinematography, they shouldve just made this into a CG film.

@@MetalGearBronya oh yes for sure mate. It seemed like they didn’t know what COD was, and what people expect from a COD game. I may get hate for this but MW2019 had a gut wrenching campaign, maybe too much at times but it showed that we hadn’t gotten that in a while, this campaign seemed sterile and almost too clean. Like they didn’t want to offend to cause controversy or stir up a discussion or debate. I remember that one Clean House mission in MW was heavy on me, I was playing that with my dad sitting next to me and I shot the lady with the detonator and he went “did you just shoot her!?!” And we had that reaction so many times.

Remember the end of MW3 when Price and Yuri broke into Makarov’s penthouse and trashed the place in a crazy epic sequence where Price jumps onto a helicopter and crashes it, and you PLAYED THE WHOLE THING? The game didn’t just take over and make it all a cinematic cutscene, they actually LET you play it.

I mean this game only had less than 2 years of Development Sledgehammer games and Raven Software were supposed to make a Vietnam based game in 2020 but Treyarch took over that game and made it Black Ops Cold War.Thats why that game didn't run on MW Engine.I mean Vanguard is like COD 3 how COD 3 was made under 6 months.
I'm a True COD player not an Average COD player who plays Warzone and 6v6 MP.
Go watch Tom Hendersons leak on Vanguard now he's completely silent about BF2042.
And Didn't MW and Infinite Warfare have Cinematics like Vanguard?
So Battlefield can be 100/10 on Launch because it is a Battlefield game.But COD cannot be Broken on Launch 0/100 👍👌.It's like as if Battlefield2042 not having a Campaign is a good decision.
@@ChandranPrema123 This is kind of why Call of Duty just needs a massive studio to pump games out every 3 years instead of every year; we might get more Black Ops 3's if it were like that; Black Ops II and III were the peak of the franchise.
Okay so here's how you "approach a game like a movie" and succeed. Make those cool cinematics ,then find every part you can make playable /have happen while we are in control and have the more set up shots be short "we lose control,see the shot then gain control" moments and boom players love it.
@@ChandranPrema123 this game has been in “development” since 2017.
Why can't a company make Steel Battalion:Heavy Armour but you are a soldier on the ground? Having Mechs fight while you are shooting troops on the ground, mech rounds splitting your teammates in half with blood everywhere showing the chaos in war I'm that universe?
“Call of duty has no iconic characters”
Bruh you could literally hear reznov’s heart break
Reznov quotes will always take up a sizeable chunk of my brain.
Forget Reznov, Macarov and Soap Mactavash are rolling in their electronic graves.
you kids forgot about cpt. price
-Reznov
-Price
-Makarov
-Soap
-Woods

Not diverse or woke enough so that doesn't count.
7:48 I believe this is referencing that one mission from Battlefield 5's campaign. The Last Panzer or whatever it was.
Realism is not inatantly dying to a foot shot.
Realism is instantly dying to a heart and brain shot only.
Pain should build with damage until you fall crippled and bleeding out with the timer increasing with pain. Thats realism. Not giving you 5 hp with guns doing 4 damage a bullet.
And poisonous dogs
Activision: "we need memorable characters, like masterchief"
Also Activision: makes 6 forgettable characters instead of a single memorable one.
Like they didn't create FUCKING SOAP MCTAVISH
@@bp4861 😢 who?
Captain Price. Soap. Ghost. Gaz. Roach.
And also Mason, Woods, Hudson, Weaver, Reznov, and even now with cold war, I'd argue Adler was made as an iconic character.

This franchise has officially become the Madden of FPS games.
And unless all of us know it is a shitty game, the production doing a long review for this "product".. Paid or supported marketing...
Naw man, COD at least has the decency to change it's scenery somewhat for each installment unlike Madden or Fifa so it's just a smidgen better, still shit tho
Um you’re 12 yrs too late to say that. Because I’ve been saying that since 2009.
Its been the Madden of fps for at least 15 years
@@mikeycrackson it's trendy to say this every year apparently
21:47 same. Veteran here was basically Normal without hit markers.
Captain Price, Soap, Ghost, Shepherd, Makarov, Mason, Woods, Hudson, Alex Mason, Dragovich, Kravchenko, Steiner, Reznov, Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo, Nikolai, Maxis, Samantha...
"Approach this game as if it was a movie."
So you basically made a movie instead. Ah yes... nice logic there
They did the same shit with the new Guardians game and people are so into the whole Marvel shit they don't even care.
I'd rather just watch saving private Ryan on repeat than play this shit.
@@adamrogers1233 very well said
What's funny is that it's been done to death by other games. So marketing this as a unique feature or concept just tells me that these devs are naive.
The thing is even movie are getting better they're also making show set on WWII and sometimes their female soldiers but it believable of why their there watch Warsaw 1944, downfall, and others on Amazon and Netflix
But cod wanna be stuck in the 90s with the Pearl harbor approach because big explosion if they're going back to their root everything would be more grounded
As AVGN said:
"This game sucks. This is all that it comes to."
All I had to do was watch AJ's face for 3 seconds, and I knew this game was garbage, LOL!!!! TY, AJ!!!! =D
Stop giving Activision money...
The way they programmed the dog enemies are just lazy especially when medal of honor on the PS1 did them better Activision is pathetic
9:25 Tattooed woman and a black guy talking about how there's no iconic CoD characters should tell you all you need to know about Vanguard, and the state of the CoD development team as a whole. Everything woke goes to shit.
1:06 LITERALLY me and warcraft movie.
Part of the “memorable character” thing that they missed is that for the longest time, COD was a lot like the Sherlock Holmes books, in that, the main character/protagonist is not actually the viewpoint character. Sherlock Holmes is the main character, but watson is the narrator. It’s the same here, the true main characters were the Reznovs and Prices and Gazs and whatnot, rather than the player character, and this was actually very effective, it worked with how the game operates. The only outlier here is Soap, and even then, we only know him from seeing him from an alternate view in MW3 and Price’s reaction to him. But Soap didn’t need to be the star of the show, in fact, it was perfect that he wasn’t. Once you start creating “star” playable characters in COD, the player just taps out, bc they’re not there for that. COD built its status on faceless, storyless MCs. It works.
Actually COD built it's status on multiplayer ;)
@@TokyoKazama No
@@C4DeadCharge As in No problemo?
@@TokyoKazama As in no, that’s wrong. CoD built its status on campaigns.
Lots of players didn't realize that the COD series had pushed the bar (player taste) of AAA Military Single Player FPS Campaign to a level that cause this entire genre dying out, just like what Mario series have done to the 3D Platformer...
I actually laughed my ass off when Joe said "it sucks" and ended it.
Omg that was funny.
That was enough of a review for me.
barebone as the game

“We’re looking to break walls”

The idea of having a vanguard sequel is horrifying haha
We'll get the Ghost 2 sequel before then
@@zenthegeneral I still have that thing for some strange reason. Never played it.
they have stated vanguard was just to keep the little codlings busy while they work on the next big title
@@heliveruscalion9124 "here's boring generic trash while we work on other boring generic trash, trust us guys next one will be even better"
Finally, a game that captures perfectly the true horrors that the german created, flying soldiers, poisonous dogs...
Truly DARK stuff
A game that's not scared to show what really happened in WW2
Nah. No game will never do that kind of thing. Just read history books
and speaking english like it's their native language.....
Yup, surprising they didnt mention that Germans was eating babies to breakfast aswell
The true horror was seeing a female sniper..
As someone who has never owned a CoD game, here’s a list of the characters I know:
- Price
- Makarov
- Yuri
- Soap
- Roach
- Gen. Shepherd
- Alex Mason
- Frank Woods
- Hudson
- Russel Adler
- Steiner
- Reznov
- Kravchenko
- Dmitri Petrenko
That lady’s claim is horseshit.
The characters in 2042 are more fleshed out, even without a campaign.

DON’T DO IT GUNTHER!!!!
I love Joe in the beginning.
"It sucks." He rolls credits. Basically saying; 'You won't put effort into the game, I won't put effort in reviewing it. Simple.' That was savage Joe. lmao XD
Edit: Wow, thank you for all the likes and responses. I wasn't expecting it when I commented this. :D
Is it a true ww2 game they said it was
But its not
@@Nolongerhereanymore it come WW2 for the fans and now they fight on with game is worst battlefield 2042 or this game.
Um oka?
This man is a legend
What I love is that years ago he said he always wanted to make a review where he says that and the credits roll XD
"The greatest source of realism is imperfection."
In that case, Call of Duty Vanguard is an incredibly, deceptibly realistic game.
It’s what happens when you let woke organizations who lack real world experience and creativity who only care about making money create a game.
@@SFRR22D This is mostly the result of corporate interest groups wanting a new Cod game released every year.
@@memezoffuckery3207 nah. Three years was the last ww2. They don’t give a fuck. Just as long as there is a woman sniper who is doing Krav Maga so they can say they are a woke team who care about our feelings as gamers.
If the companies were “”””woke””””” as you idiots keep putting it, they’d pay their people a decent wage and support a healthy work environment.
Given that Activision Blizzard’s entire upper management is currently under investigation for SEXUAL ABUSE and general toxicity, I think we can safely say they’re about as woke as a Elaine Esposito right now.
@@barleysixseventwo6665 I think that's the point were are trying to make my friend. Woke "ism" is fake. pandering BS. a smoke screen for who they really are. They make superman gay or add in some front line infantry women. bad asses doing karate and killing nazis to appease so called gamer feelings, but behind the scenes are corrupt AF and only care about making money . Kind of like the current US administration. you are almost there you just need to really read what we are saying. us "idiots" see through the smoke. its time everyone starts opening their eyes.

I think she meant iconic characters, but people don't go to COD for that. Yeah, you have memorable ones in the franchise but she wants 1 person people think of when they think of the franchise, someone who's in multiple COD, which explains why they wanna do multiple Vanguards. It's stupid and so out of touch of them.
"No iconic characters"
I haven't played Call of Duty in years and can still name a few, like Price, Soap, Reznov, Woods, Mason, Ghost, Dimirti, Roebuck and Roach. And that's just off the top of my head.
THANK you.
He’s obviously talking about the creation of new iconic characters not the same ones youve been spoon fed and have been rebooted to get your attention. All those characters are iconic from cods golden days literally didn’t name anyone from bo3 and up
Those all are from damn near a decadeago at this point lol
One thing they all have in common ... they're all white males if memory serves right
@@noteminemsburneraccount324 so is master chief
I miss the old days where you can snap a dogs neck
I get why people form subjective options on the same type of copy and paste levels. But only 10% of people had completed MW1&2 so back in the day. They have to include something of a SP as people moan value is out the window. But you’re not going to pour resources into something 10% of folk actually see and play. Yes they need to change the formula but then everyone would whine it don’t feel like cod. Personally have not brought one since BO3.
The fact that they actually stated CoD doesn't have any memorable main characters really shows the true colors of these devs. They don't even know their own franchise. I would wager plenty of them have never even played a CoD game. This game couldn't be more manufactured and passion starved if it tried.
If anyone is interested in playing a game as good as those cut scenes, it does exist. It's called Battlefield 1.
i think it's not about not knowing their franchise. It's the usual marketing crap. Like when a franchise that had, for example, a well liked and overall well received female character suddenly gets the announcement that the next installment "Will finally have the first cool, major, awesome great female character In the history of the franchise!!!". It's basically them trying to gaslight the consumers into THINKING the new character(s) is as awesome and deep and blablabla as they creators want the people to perceive.
Hmmm, let's see if they check any of the boxes
LBGT ❌
P.O.C. ❌
Not Cis Male ❌
Sorry none of those characters Chek any of the appropriate boxes.
Or....just play World at War. No big cutscenes, but it's still a brutal shooter. Just watch out. On veteren, the AI tends to throw buckets of grenades at ya.
@@aweshetdima2157 More like they're all tethered to your leg and all shots are magnetized to you. I had to cheese the AI so much to beat it on veteran.

The sad reason people don't go for tags in KC, is because you can get more kills in that mode if you ignore tags. It's reasons like this that made me lose interest in the game

Because this is just the latest case, both in gaming and Hollywood.
Not to mentioned that the Last of Us did it better without it’s cutscenes being mostly unplayable.

Those games are still better than Death Stranding at least
To be honest i rather play a game that you shoot each other on an island it sounds more fun to me than just walking and climbing an empty openworld delivering package and watching weird cutscenes.
7:23- (As Finn) They fly now? (As Poe) They fly now.
Ghost's death still haunts me to this day - I still see Gaz going down, Soap, the boys from Metal Zero One.....you haven't HAD any iconic characters since these because you're not into making ICONIC games.
You play it safe, pursue fads, chase trends and approach designing an art form as well as I would at picking out the human beings from the next Activision board meeting.
They are all dead okay that’s why they said it it’s because they keep killing them of in the most stupidest ways possible just to get themselves quick bucks
