Advance warning, I do use the word bollocks lol!
Is that a bad thing?
@@markodeen4105 Not if used correctly lol
Sometimes it really is the only appropriate word.
Just love your critiques, literally can’t stop watching. It’s funny whilst being educational. Thank you and please keep doing them if you can find the strength!!!
Recommended doing one of these for Brothers in Arms hells highway. One of the more historically accurate fps.
Really enjoying these reaction videos Woody. You should do some reactions to scenes from movies like The Longest Day.
Spot on Woody about the various names. Sounded very Canadian to me. The good old whistle started attack across a field.
Great critiqe, much needed in these times!
Btw, how is that supposed to ber Merville?! That was acually an intresting battle that could have been made well without all that extensive drama.
Thanks, Paul. Is the main character using a battlefield pick up WW1 Mauser Gewehr 98 with a 20 rd trench magazine? I'm not aware of KAR 98s being modified with external magazines and the rear sight is definitely a KAR.
Most videogames always end up being creative where in turn accuracy suffers. Take the Medal of Honor series, in its timeline take the American superhero character Jimmy Patterson, in Medal of Honor Airborne he pilots a C-47 dropping troops inland, his C-47 is hit and after the paratroops exit you see him crashing his plane into the sea, in time for him to be picked up and be taken into a landing craft for a beach landing in the first mission of Medal of Honor Frontline inspired by Saving Private Ryan.
I re-enhacted the assault in Merville in 2019, and I almost got blasted off by a petrol tank. I know the Merville battery like my pockets. I was not surprised by the amount of crap made by the CoD team, again
There was a Black Para in 1st Airborne. He jumped in at Arnhem and escaped back across the Rhine during Operation Pegasus. The lads were taken to a US mess to be fed, One of the Yanks refused to serve him because he was black, the rest of the lads who despite being cold and hungry walked out. British Airborne, if you are good enough, you're in, no matter what you look like. Every Man An Emperor.
Flagging the hell out of the guys in front of him. Bad drills! More fantasy than history.
They also had the 1st Allied Airborne patch on rather than the pegasus one
Not sure if you noticed or not, I only did when I played through the mission myself but when the paras are fighting through the bunkers there are fallschirmjäger fighting as well in camouflage they never wore. And correct me if I’m wrong but they weren’t defending any of the coastlines.👍🏻
Could you do Call of Duty: Vanguard's Bougainville?
I play Hell let loose love it ❤
Sid Cornell was 7th bn. Although im always happy to see Merville battery highlighted, this was an awful attempt to portray what happened.Not impressed with historical accuracy but have to remember it’s a game made for entertainment. As my dad was at Merville im glad its featured, but I certainly wouldn’t show him this if he was alive.
No X Type parachute - always a good start for authenticity lol
I didn't even clock the parachute type
a nice review Paul. It didn't make much sense. But children will have fun with this game. The red berets had to be heroes in this game.😂😂
Was the operation named after the country?
No, just a random codename
To my defense I never said it'd be good. I recommended this video precisely because it's all nonsense haha
Ha ha, you were actually one of three or four people who said I should tackle it
Terrible game. This is why Hell let loose has been so well received. Not perfect but so much better than this rubbish
bro relax 😂
Its a shame they don't talk like they did in the 1940's, George Formby, Aurther Askey and Chester drawer's!!!😆
Really amusing to see you rip off these horrible recreations of historic events
What an absolute joke.
What a foolish scene.
What a silly depiction of what happened. What kind of childish people make these COD games now?
Sad thing is this is not even the worst mission either in Vanguard, the Stalingrad, Midway and the one set in on the pacific island is even worse. And the Ending is just bad.
Paul if you have any more of these planned please check out the game “Post Scriptum” - great attention to detail
I've done one Post Scriptum of Utah and i thought it was awful. Check my playlist Bryan
@@WW2TV apologies man. Been trying to catch up where I can and didn’t see that one. Thanks for what you do
@@Currahee_1944 Thanks for all your support mate
@@WW2TV its a great game though, one of my favourites. Market Garden is where it really shines
it does make you wonder how this is 'educating' a new generation in things that will take future historians a lifetime to try and unpick the myth of...
