I live in former East-Berlin and specialize in GDR history. In terms of realism, here are some accurate and inaccurate things I noticed just for fun if you're curious: -Accurate: 1.The subway. There were indeed ghost stations between 1961 and 1990. These were mostly downtown stations in East-Berlin but with both terminus located in West-Berlin. The trains woudn't stop there, as the access to these stations were forbidden to everyone. East-german border guards would guard them, as GDR citizens could try to use the tunnels to flee. The subway lines, S1, S2, U6 and U8 had these ghost stations. They could have taken a random station or invent one but no, they took the station Weinmeisterstraße, on line U8, which was indeed closed. + The train driver says in german at the beginning ''We'll reach the station Moritzplatz in 5 minutes''. Moritzplatz is a real station and is indeed the first station in West-Berlin after the Wall on the U8 line. Very accurate, good job. 2.The Volkspolizei(East-german police) used mostly Volga M24 cars or Lada 1500. There seem to be an attempt to portray these cars that look anyway very similar. 3.They made Berlin look like Berlin in the architecture. The northwest area of downtown Berlin where Weinmeisterstraße is, was more spared by WWII bombings, leaving a lot of the 19th century buildings intact, but in a bad shape in the 80s as we can see here. This neighborhood today is beautiful, popular but expensive. -Inaccurate: 1.The grey uniform was used by the Volksarmee(People's army). The Volkspolizei(People's police) used to wear a blue uniform like the guy on the left(4:04) and the Grenztruppen(border guards) would wear green uniforms, like the guy on the right(4:04). So these men guarding the station would have green uniforms but the police officers stepping out of the cars at 11:07 would have blue ones. 2.The guns. The East-German army and border guards used mostly AK-47 or other versions like AK-74, not MP5 3.There's western cars in East-Berlin. The most common car in East-Germany and the only one most people could afford was the Trabant model 601. It would have been realistic to see this. 4.There most likely wouldn't have been Stasi agents in uniform walking around like that. The Stasi was much more insidious, having agents hiding within the police, the border guards or the army. Most of the time, Stasi agents on duty would dress as civilians, making it impossible to know who is who and creating a totally paranoid environment. 5.Stasi agent would most likely not use the term ''Stasi'' when interacting with people(10:16). They would use the full formulation ''Staatsicherheit''(State security), from which ''Stasi'' was formed. 6.Weinmeisterstraße was not close at all from the Wall. From there, the closest area where the Wall stood, was at Nordbahnhof(north train station), around 1.4km away. 7.The Wall itself. There is at 5:07 a tower model BT-11, which is accurate, although most of the towers at the Berlin Wall were model BT-9. However, by 1981 we had reached the third and final generation of the Wall, that would remain until 1989. The wall on the western side would have been the model 75, and would have had a cylindrical top to prevent fugitives from clinging and climbing over it. The Signalzaun(signal fence) and Patrollenweg(patrol trail) are also missing here. The checkpoint would have been much more securized, with obstacles preventing fugitives in cars and trucks from driving throught it at high speed without stopping. 8. At 10:26, ''Die Mauer wird fallen''(the Wall will fall), the Stasi would have erased that in 10 minutes. But despite what I just said, it's still well done. The goal of a video game is to be fun, and this is 100%. The mission is very cool, and it's always cool to see Berlin in video games.
And the soldiers of the Special unit who appears in 20:12 minutes? There's some like that in East German Forces? I was thinking in something like the DIENSTEINHEIT 9... What you can say?
-East german police using MP5s, a west german weapon. -Adler talking to east german cops with the most american sounding accent, and they don't instantly go "whoa". -A lot of western cars in east berlin.
Look pal, not every cod is perfect, in world at war there are Tiger 2 tanks in the stalingrad mission, fw200 bomber formation over stalingrad even though they are used in the Atlantic, the reichstag siege is very innacurate, flamethrowers used by Soviet is American Made, but world at war still remains one of the best cod games ever, cod was never that historically accurate
@@ididntmeantoshootthatvietn5012 You sure there were Tiger 2 tanks in the Stalingrad mission? I only remember seeing Panzer IV tanks during that mission. I know that the Seelow Heights tank mission had Panzer IVs, Panthers and Tiger 2s
Don't forget that in this mission, East Germans used AKM, MP5, SPAS-12, Ak 5, anachronistic QBZ-95 mockup, and Accuracy International PM/AW hybrid gun in this East German mission. Oh, don't forget stupid optical sights, laser sight, and nonexistent drum magazines, either. Stupid and lazy Treyarch. Oh, guess why there's a QBZ-95 mockup? It's because of Activision Shanghai.
The inconsistency of the East German, Cuban and Soviet weapons in this game is grinding my gears. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure the communist nations weren't arming their police and military with MP5s and M16s
Weapons are absolutely ridiculous in this game and one of the reasons I won't be buying it. If gaming company can't come up with more historically accurate weapons and wider selection in a game that's primarily about shooting and weapons then I won't support them.
@Fahad Suleman bo1 is the same when it comes to historical acurracy, when the game takes place spas 12 wasn't Made yet and in the koowloon mission some of the guns didn't exist yet
And they did a great job depicting Berlin in this mission too. I’ve lived in Berlin for a while, and they still use those yellow subway cars on some metro lines.
@@Sergei_kv82 I think it's just entertainment, but in all honesty the side where you kill woods, mason and the guys who literally fucked your brain is the good one.
didn't think we'd be shooting at Germans again Coming back to this comment I was just 19 got a job and missed my graduation during the pandemic, gotta say it was a wild and quiet ride and yet I still moved forward.
@@milesskillman256 these are not really Stasi members. These Guys are from the Grenztruppen, in English Borderguards. These were an own branch in the armed forces of the GDR. And yes u are Right, most East Germans hated them because these guys were highly indoctrinated and shot every one who tried to pass the border. A lot of family’s lost there relatives because of them.
Perfect for a COD because the missions have never been about huge battles but instead secret operations. And the cold war is full of off the books ops. Also lost of wiggle room to take creative liberties
And don't forget the Korean War too, It was the first Cold War conflict but not featured in any of the COD games execpt that Woods and Hudson fought in it.
Not German or Russian... but really? lmao Small indie company Activision really couldn’t afford to find proper voice actors and actresses, huh? Incredible.
It reminds me of the mission in Call of Duty: World War II where you play as a French girl dressed in a German uniform and you had to sneak around to place the explosive
Everybody is writing about the guns and cars of the east-Berlin soldier, but nobody mentioned the pattern of the seats in the subway! Yes, it is the iconic camouflage pattern of the public transport provider in Berlin ( BVG), but this pattern wasn’t introduced until the 90s. Cheers from west Berlin
They literally went to modern Germany metro and made some photos, good thing they left out the smartphone ads, QR codes and furry sticker art you can find there, I'll do that in America the next time I'm making a game about them set in the 1981
To be honest, this mission is beautiful, thrilling, but the weapons need to be changed. The East Germans should be using only AK-47, AK-74U, Type 63, and the RPG (these weapons are available in game so why not include these instead).
Ich bin Kanadier und ich kann nicht glaube dass XD In 27 jahren, ich hab niemal ein franzözishsprachiger Amerikaner. Sie können nicht einmal Englisch sprechen!
as an ex-DDR men i can affirm it wasn't as hellish as that, sure there was Stasi everywere but they were cloted like everyone and a lot of people lived they whole life without knowing that his friend/wife/boss was one. they only act on you if you do anythng political, and it was in a subtle way, very few died because of them.
Nicht alles war schlecht damals... Bildung und Zusammenhalt gab es. Das andere ist heute genauso wie damals. Nur eben das es nicht mehr der Nachbar ist.😂😅
Since when East German guards are issued Western European weapons such as the MP5 and the FN FNC (Krig)? The Campaign is good an all but the Historical Accuracy is rated 5.5/10.
According to my mother who was born in East Germany 1972 and lived in East Berlin. She witnessed everything. Neither East German soldiers nor stasi or guards never ever had any kind of mp5 weapons they had ak's like the Russian soldiers who were stationed in East Germany. The German dub is terrible! One good point for the game is the resemblance of the Wall which split West and East Germany apart. It really looked that way. Although I am complaining to much this is a great game with all its habits.
@@EduLeondeCamargo no she is not a specialist in weapons but she told the difference between this and that also she played with some Russian soldiers when she was just a kid. Hide and seek and all that kinda stuff lol
@@xTeamEchoThat’s interesting. What year would that have been? GSFG had some of the toughest training and stressful assignments, like the Berlin detachment of Americans. I’m sure that was extremely pleasant for them.
@@SummerBlast4766 Yes, just looked it up, the were formed by Pepsi in the sixties and sold flavorless chips until 72 when they made their nacho flavor, so they'd be around in the 80's for sure. I looked up Mountain Dew for laughs to, and it's been around since the forties until Pepsi picked it up in the 60's, so it seems like Mountain Dew and Doritos have been going together for a long time indeed.
@@roberthanneman6305 maybe that's got to do with the influence of western culture, in the late 70's and early 80's rock music and punk from the west was seeping in to the east, also along with fashion and cultures
Those are Volkspolizei and Stasi. East German policemen and secret police officers. That and Grenztruppen, the border guards seen in the abandoned metro stations and at Checkpoint Charlie.
@@Kaptennemo001 No because the MP5 was created by the West Germans. Volkspolizei and Stasi used licensed Soviet guns like the MPi-K. A copy of the Soviet AK-47.
I didn't even notice it when I played the game. One of those cases where I came here to see how someone else did the mission, only to see people going nuts in the comments over a detail I didn't even pay attention to.
This stage always gets me on the edge of my seat. Trumps any mission in the game, including the KGB headquarters infiltration. A masterpiece in espionage game design!
In most black ops you’d think they’d be using enemy weapons. In particular why not a silenced makarov or bare minimum a Soviet/East German PM-63. Using a M1911 with silencer shows overtly who’s involved. No way to have plausible deniability when using western ordinance in the Eastern Bloc
@@Deathmare235 but still using eastern bloc ordinance would suffice. If it’s Soviet bloc munitions, there’d be no trace of the CIA. And for the record, we had a lot of captured Easten bloc/Soviet hardware captured in Vietnam. Hence plausible deniability
but 1911 is so edgy and so much freedom and holders of 1911 are the good guys automatically, with the only sin with the gun is that it doesnt shoot .50bmg, which is freedom in its true form. Unless ofc you kill your enemy with apple pie in the face
This mission is what got me hooked to the game. To this day my favorite part is still the campaign. I’ve replayed it countless times and I’m still very interested in it
@AxWielder Sprigz Yes, that's just sloppy. They have the resources to do it properly. There are other developers of games with way smaller budgets who care about detail and respect gamers.
@AxWielder Sprigz "Meh just give them MP5s, these idiot gamerz won't notice anyway." or, best case scenario, some lazy developer couldn't be bothered, and nobody checked his work. Triple-A, my ass.
@AxWielder Sprigz the fact that are just some weapons it's the point! they just needed to give DDR AKs, and all would have been perfect, I think it's no so difficult for a triple A software house, they're just lazy developers. Since there are just some weapons, they could have armed DDR with m16 and it would have been fine for you
@AxWielder Sprigz they says that they making ''realistic'' games but still fucked up the armament of the germans during cold war they suposed to use ak's or something like that
It's like Cod WW2 but except of having too much Russian guns* , they have too much German and Belgian guns ^^ edit : I was gonna say "give them stg 44 and mp 40 for all time sakes " but it's maybe not accurate but in 16:00 Bell uses a wellrod so it fits I guess .
@@EmbeddedWithin It's just mp40s remind me of the occupation when everyone were shouting "AUSCWEITZ!!!" . So you got an easter egg about the roots of Call of duty and then Covid 19 crisis ^^
Lazar:I was gonna her pick up some knackwurst from der braunbar. But it’s closed already.. Bell:Well me and park are gonna go somewhere private after this..
It's really sad to see that the east German military and police isn't seen using standard issue AKs, PM 63s and Makarovs but instead mp5s and 1911s, both of which were never used by them ever. I'm not saying they should add new weapons, just reskinning the 1911 for example to make it resemble a Makarov would have been good enough
@@Davi-pq3ej that's actually legit unlike in this game. They should never have had included an MP5 in this mission and just use the AK-47 and AK-74U as well as the RPG. Even the Type 63 in multiplayer will work.
Look pal, not every cod is perfect, in world at war there are Tiger 2 tanks in the stalingrad mission, fw200 bomber formation over stalingrad even though they are used in the Atlantic, the reichstag siege is very innacurate, flamethrowers used by Soviet is American Made, but world at war still remains one of the best cod games ever, cod was never that historically accurate
Because back then people took history as history, not today where it’s more like: “Why is no one talking about racism and war that happened many years ago and we can’t do anything about.”
Because people like to shit on modern releases to make themselves feel better. The feeling of being around during the “great” era of games makes them feel special.
With all the wrong guns outrage one could almost forget that the border guards wear summer dress uniforms....in winter..... without raincoats..... in a pouring rain. :-D
they using the old engine, MW 2019 uses the brand new engine hence why the animations and shit are a lot more detailed. I play both and cold war is still quite fun tbh. just a step back in tech though compared to MW
That historical accuracy. They literally went to modern Germany metro and made some photos, good thing they left out the smartphone ads, QR codes and furry sticker art you can find there, I'll do that in America the next time I'm making a game about them set in the 1981
@@stefanmuller3069 No. They never did. The MP5 was a West German weapon. The Volksarmee and Volkspolizei had their own weapons provided either locally or by other Warsaw Pact countries. They had the MPi-K and other AK variants, PPSh-41, PM-63, and vz.61.

Everyone complaining about the western guns in east german hands. Me just thinking about how a Doritos advert made it into german subway cars back then.
Check point Charlie was nowhere near Weinmeisterstraße, in fact Rosenthaler Straße, seen in the background is near Alexanderplatz. They would have had to change from the U8 which they took probably at Gesundbrunnen and take the U2 and get off at Spittelmarkt and still have to walk a few blocks to check point Charlie. It would have been more accurate if they had taken the S-BAHN to Bornholmer straße, that was in fact a Border crossing point.
@@thanmad First, it is optically obvious that it is check point Charlie which I've passed a million times and second, there was no check point above Weinmeisterstraße or nowhere near Rosenthaler Straße. The nearest street crossing from east to west from Weinmeisterstraße was Heinrich-Heine-Straße And second, all check points were both east and west at the same time. Check points were border crossings through which the victors ( Siegermächte) agreed to east - west traffic. Weinmeisterstraße 15 Weinmeisterstraße 15, 10178 Berlin maps.app.goo.gl/CWMV5bH9DzX2uWLJA
@@miguelcustodio2177 I don't think they intended to portray Check point Charlie. This Grenzübergang looks nothing like Check point Charlie in the 80s. I think they just invented a check point. They googled Check point Charlie and reproduced the little house that still stands today, without making further researches. A border crossing in Berlin in the 80s would never have been that basic.
@@leogerman1090 Even if they didn't intend to show check point Charlie, this "chechpoint" is presented pretty much the way it used to be. There's the inner and outer walls, the minefield, the barbedwire, the lights, everything. It gives a check point Charlie vibe.
„Now get the hell out of East Berlin“. That part would have been interesting to see, regarding the fact, that the Berlin Wall was built to keep people in.
Great looking game and scenario, a shame about some of the weapons, but the scenarios are well written. I would have had the good guys arriving earlier at the end as the captured female agent could have been an ally.
I loved the Cold War campaign more than any other campaign in the franchise. Something about the air of it just made me like it. And also, can everyone STOP FREAKING COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WEAPONS THEY ARE ARMED WITH? For all you know it could have been information inaccuracies

If you have any other COD game mate play that and imagine you're in Berlin in the 80s cos its basically like every other COD if you ask me
@@strictlycasual765 infinite warfare is just like the new cod but with extra mechanics like the flying shit your a genius
Me to 😭
Or your waiting till Christmas to finally get your hands on the game
as an ex-DDR men i can affirm it wasn't as hellish as that, sure there was Stasi everywere but they were cloted like everyone and a lot of people lived they whole life without knowing that his friend/wife/boss was one.
they only act on you if you do anythng political, and it was in a subtle way, very few died because of them.

Since when East German guards are issued Western European weapons such as the MP5 and the FN FNC (Krig)?
The Campaign is good an all but the Historical Accuracy is rated 5.5/10.
its still German, its the same thing, lol why do you know so much about guns?
Thanks I thought I was the only one that noticed
@@GymmyRhys they're not the same thing. It's like North Korean soldiers having South Korean weapons
Since when fps game is historically accurate?

It's rly fucked up..
While all protagonists in 1, 2, 3, 4, World at War, MW2, WaW Final Fronts, Roads to Victory didn't said a single word.
Next, there should be Korean War in COD
It should be interesting.
nah I think they will do Gulf War 1 COD and then Yugoslavia War COD
I don't know, in the korean War you kill Ch1nes3 and that may hurt the market
Gonna be same cringe so please no
Advanced Warfare has it on the first mission.
I like how volkov casually tried to make a conversation but got a mouthful of lead
According to my mother who was born in East Germany 1972 and lived in East Berlin.
She witnessed everything.
Neither East German soldiers nor stasi or guards never ever had any kind of mp5 weapons they had ak's like the Russian soldiers who were stationed in East Germany. The German dub is terrible!
One good point for the game is the resemblance of the Wall which split West and East Germany apart. It really looked that way.
Although I am complaining to much this is a great game with all its habits.
Is your mother a specialist in East German weapons? Did she know they didn't use MP5?
@@EduLeondeCamargo no she is not a specialist in weapons but she told the difference between this and that also she played with some Russian soldiers when she was just a kid. Hide and seek and all that kinda stuff lol
@@xTeamEchoThat’s interesting. What year would that have been? GSFG had some of the toughest training and stressful assignments, like the Berlin detachment of Americans. I’m sure that was extremely pleasant for them.
Heineken is East berlin? The level of bullshit in this game.
Doritos Advertisement too. Its insane
"The level of incompetence in this office is staggering!"
@@SummerBlast4766 Yes, just looked it up, the were formed by Pepsi in the sixties and sold flavorless chips until 72 when they made their nacho flavor, so they'd be around in the 80's for sure. I looked up Mountain Dew for laughs to, and it's been around since the forties until Pepsi picked it up in the 60's, so it seems like Mountain Dew and Doritos have been going together for a long time indeed.
@@roberthanneman6305 maybe that's got to do with the influence of western culture, in the late 70's and early 80's rock music and punk from the west was seeping in to the east, also along with fashion and cultures
Since when the DDR Police Officers use MP5
Those are Volkspolizei and Stasi. East German policemen and secret police officers. That and Grenztruppen, the border guards seen in the abandoned metro stations and at Checkpoint Charlie.
FNC
@@tylerg.2599 did they used MP5?
@@Kaptennemo001 No because the MP5 was created by the West Germans. Volkspolizei and Stasi used licensed Soviet guns like the MPi-K. A copy of the Soviet AK-47.
@@VeteranAlpha That makes an Mp5 sound friendly lol
Is it just coincidence I got an ad for german beer before watching this?
Nein
The whole comment section: “hOw dO tHeY hAvE mP5s iTs a wEsTteRn gUn”
I didn't even notice it when I played the game. One of those cases where I came here to see how someone else did the mission, only to see people going nuts in the comments over a detail I didn't even pay attention to.
Very well said bro!
Also Adler sounds so American without any noticing from the guards
@@sovietbat9138 detail? In a game based on gunplay, guns are a detail?
Thanks for the warning.
This stage always gets me on the edge of my seat. Trumps any mission in the game, including the KGB headquarters infiltration. A masterpiece in espionage game design!

In most black ops you’d think they’d be using enemy weapons. In particular why not a silenced makarov or bare minimum a Soviet/East German PM-63. Using a M1911 with silencer shows overtly who’s involved. No way to have plausible deniability when using western ordinance in the Eastern Bloc
Then again the same could be said vice versa and anyway they’re CIA agents they’re not meant to get caught
@@Deathmare235 but still using eastern bloc ordinance would suffice. If it’s Soviet bloc munitions, there’d be no trace of the CIA. And for the record, we had a lot of captured Easten bloc/Soviet hardware captured in Vietnam. Hence plausible deniability
but 1911 is so edgy and so much freedom and holders of 1911 are the good guys automatically, with the only sin with the gun is that it doesnt shoot .50bmg, which is freedom in its true form. Unless ofc you kill your enemy with apple pie in the face
PM-63 is a Polish gun
@@Edelwajsyes but East Germany did use it
5:59 Adler: Take my phytography like I'm not aware ok ?
me: Hmm ok
This mission is what got me hooked to the game. To this day my favorite part is still the campaign. I’ve replayed it countless times and I’m still very interested in it
7:55 Legend Says There Were Magical Doors In 1981
East German border guards with MP-5s? Thank you, I think that’s a pass, then.
hehe lols
Tolerating substandard game is the last thing a "gamer" would do
@AxWielder Sprigz Yes, that's just sloppy. They have the resources to do it properly. There are other developers of games with way smaller budgets who care about detail and respect gamers.
@AxWielder Sprigz "Meh just give them MP5s, these idiot gamerz won't notice anyway." or, best case scenario, some lazy developer couldn't be bothered, and nobody checked his work. Triple-A, my ass.
@AxWielder Sprigz the fact that are just some weapons it's the point! they just needed to give DDR AKs, and all would have been perfect, I think it's no so difficult for a triple A software house, they're just lazy developers. Since there are just some weapons, they could have armed DDR with m16 and it would have been fine for you
maker of a AAA title cant arm east german guards correct
ah yes, let’s give East Germans the most West German firearm there is
@AxWielder Sprigz lol, well it's a valid complaint haha
@AxWielder Sprigz that's a retarded excuse
@AxWielder Sprigz they says that they making ''realistic'' games but still fucked up the armament of the germans during cold war they suposed to use ak's or something like that
German Guards holding AKs.
How REAL
why do the german officers have MP5s it was a western gun BruH
It's like Cod WW2 but except of having too much Russian guns* , they have too much German and Belgian guns ^^
edit : I was gonna say "give them stg 44 and mp 40 for all time sakes " but it's maybe not accurate but in 16:00 Bell uses a wellrod so it fits I guess .
east germans would basically just use the same guns as the soviets, just like everybody else in the warsaw pact (except the czechs)
@@TheComateman
They should be using Aks actually
dude mp5 was made by Hekler and Koch, they are German :/
But this is the incorrect timeline however.
@@EmbeddedWithin It's just mp40s remind me of the occupation when everyone were shouting "AUSCWEITZ!!!" . So you got an easter egg about the roots of Call of duty and then Covid 19 crisis ^^
I'll be disappointed if theres only one Vietnam level
Yeah I think that's the case
There's sort of a 2nd mission which is pretty cool but its part of a dream esque sequence
Lazar:I was gonna her pick up some knackwurst from der braunbar. But it’s closed already..
Bell:Well me and park are gonna go somewhere private after this..
It's really sad to see that the east German military and police isn't seen using standard issue AKs, PM 63s and Makarovs but instead mp5s and 1911s, both of which were never used by them ever. I'm not saying they should add new weapons, just reskinning the 1911 for example to make it resemble a Makarov would have been good enough
East germans with MP5??
yea lol its cod what u expect, they should have ak74s or something
Yeah, something like the Skorpion or the PM-63 would be more appropriate.
@@danielchew8739 the whole game looks whack as fuck tbh
Yeah I didn’t get that. It would make sense with eastern bloc weaponry but mp5 was for the west Germans

It's like call of duty ww2 German soldiers using PPSh-4 in the western front .
@@Davi-pq3ej That did actually happen; German soldiers also used weapons captured from enemies.
@@Davi-pq3ej that's actually legit unlike in this game. They should never have had included an MP5 in this mission and just use the AK-47 and AK-74U as well as the RPG. Even the Type 63 in multiplayer will work.
Look pal, not every cod is perfect, in world at war there are Tiger 2 tanks in the stalingrad mission, fw200 bomber formation over stalingrad even though they are used in the Atlantic, the reichstag siege is very innacurate, flamethrowers used by Soviet is American Made, but world at war still remains one of the best cod games ever, cod was never that historically accurate
cool camera.
fits in pocket but has clearly a zoom range of 35mm-1000mm
(optics like that usually are like a meter long and weight shit ton)
Why do the Border Guards have FNCs.
Why is checkpoint charlie labeled as an east german building 😭😭
I come back to this just to listen to Adler speak 2 sentences in German.
17:13
What a gentleman.
Its like watching a suspense movie damn great game designing
A bit ridiculous we had to wait this long to get another map lol, hopefully it doesn't disappoint
This mission is so climatic.
Is it me or does Helen Park looks like Charlize Theron from Atomic Blonde
She's portrayed by Lily Cowles, can't blame you tho. She bears a little resemblance to Charlize Theron.
Randy Cheow Makes sense considering the time period and location lol
The production quality is just sick.
6:01 Adler has taken a picture
15:24 Park has taken a picture
I'm not gonna lie, this mission had lighter Atomic Blonde vibes
When you realise Mauer Der Toten is just a campaign mission, with some zombies and zipline.
if i wait several years maybe less i'll be able to play this on a $300 laptop on high to medium settings with it the power cord plugged in
pain.
i hope that they add the east german soldier as a skin for warzone and cod cold war
5:55 Did the East German Guards just call the Berlin Wall "Berliner Mauer" on the checkpoint sign? I thought they always stuck to euphemisms.
Lockpicking reminds me about The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim

STOP, YOU VIOLATED THE LA- oh wait wrong Elder Scrolls
I dunno, the game seems a little softer compared to the original
I guess it's to match the fact that people have also gotten softer heehee
Because back then people took history as history, not today where it’s more like: “Why is no one talking about racism and war that happened many years ago and we can’t do anything about.”
Yeah the original was way grittier, this one isn't as engaging at all, the first one really pushed the boat out.
Of course, you'll never satisfy the cod community, they're allergic to evolution
@Catboomer12 in this game, apart from the obvious MP5 thing, apparently the East Germans were also using Chinese rifles adopted in 1995
Lot of the older games had massive errors with guns too, but everyone seems to revere them as great games either way.
Because people like to shit on modern releases to make themselves feel better. The feeling of being around during the “great” era of games makes them feel special.
Reminds me of those old school Medal Of Honor missions.
Maybe I can find my street in the game lol I actually live right where they first breached trough to the West
With all the wrong guns outrage one could almost forget that the border guards wear summer dress uniforms....in winter..... without raincoats..... in a pouring rain. :-D
Dude it's just a video game
This mission is one of the best, most amazing missions in the history of COD!
They had the balls to make the tagline “know your history”
THEY didn’t even know their history wtf
Oh man, the beginning of this mission looks like me commuting to work via the U6
Haha same, only it’s the U2 for me. 😄
Please kids, don't use any video game for history lessons, historical accuracy, nor Inspiration. And please stop having fun.
How does this look worse than Modern Warfare? People were practically photorealistic in that game and now they look cartoony.
THANK YOU! I’ve said since I played the beta! Apparently it’s the new “direction” cod is going with
ay this played in older console and not new gen console
At first I thought this was produced shortly after the end of the Cold War...
they using the old engine, MW 2019 uses the brand new engine hence why the animations and shit are a lot more detailed.
I play both and cold war is still quite fun tbh. just a step back in tech though compared to MW

Really not impressed with the facial animations and voice acting, its lacking emotions and life. Hope it gets better as the story unfolds.
What I’ve seen it’s just the dude with the glasses that has no emotion
Its pretty good
@N R I believe everyone in this game dont show emotions.
Modern Warfare 2019 blew this dog shit mediocrity away by many many miles
Spoiler alert; it doesn’t
A fun little stealth mission.
That historical accuracy. They literally went to modern Germany metro and made some photos, good thing they left out the smartphone ads, QR codes and furry sticker art you can find there, I'll do that in America the next time I'm making a game about them set in the 1981
Didn’t even let Volkov say his last sentence before getting shot 😂
This mission was awesome
For me one of the best Mission in Game. I really love to play it.
East Germans with MP5s? Black Ops hasn’t skipped a beat
east germany had mp5s, why are you talking about stuff you dont understand`?
@@stefanmuller3069 No. They never did. The MP5 was a West German weapon. The Volksarmee and Volkspolizei had their own weapons provided either locally or by other Warsaw Pact countries. They had the MPi-K and other AK variants, PPSh-41, PM-63, and vz.61.
You know what dude, so much German police died. The western is declare of war not Soviet, Treyarch too lazy for that
it actually cracked me up that he shot Volkov right before he was going to talk

Everyone complaining about the western guns in east german hands. Me just thinking about how a Doritos advert made it into german subway cars back then.
Check point Charlie was nowhere near Weinmeisterstraße, in fact Rosenthaler Straße, seen in the background is near Alexanderplatz. They would have had to change from the U8 which they took probably at Gesundbrunnen and take the U2 and get off at Spittelmarkt and still have to walk a few blocks to check point Charlie.
It would have been more accurate if they had taken the S-BAHN to Bornholmer straße, that was in fact a Border crossing point.
Wasn't Charlie an Allied checkpoint rather than an East German(as depicted here)?
@@thanmad First, it is optically obvious that it is check point Charlie which I've passed a million times and second, there was no check point above Weinmeisterstraße or nowhere near Rosenthaler Straße. The nearest street crossing from east to west from Weinmeisterstraße was Heinrich-Heine-Straße
And second, all check points were both east and west at the same time. Check points were border crossings through which the victors ( Siegermächte) agreed to east - west traffic.

@@miguelcustodio2177 I don't think they intended to portray Check point Charlie. This Grenzübergang looks nothing like Check point Charlie in the 80s. I think they just invented a check point. They googled Check point Charlie and reproduced the little house that still stands today, without making further researches. A border crossing in Berlin in the 80s would never have been that basic.
@@leogerman1090 Even if they didn't intend to show check point Charlie, this "chechpoint" is presented pretty much the way it used to be.
There's the inner and outer walls, the minefield, the barbedwire, the lights, everything. It gives a check point Charlie vibe.

Great looking game and scenario, a shame about some of the weapons, but the scenarios are well written. I would have had the good guys arriving earlier at the end as the captured female agent could have been an ally.
I loved the Cold War campaign more than any other campaign in the franchise. Something about the air of it just made me like it.
And also, can everyone STOP FREAKING COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WEAPONS THEY ARE ARMED WITH?
For all you know it could have been information inaccuracies
