Only played through this game once on veteran. The tank missions were actually a sigh of relief after playing an entire campaign with no health. I also really enjoyed the cute credits scene where you watch a guy run through all the campaign missions.
Thank you so much for educating about not only the penal battalions but the fact that soviet army didn’t send men into the war without weapons. Literally argued this point for years and feel like I’m just shouting into a void. Not a communist either, just believe you do a disservice to yourself by not knowing the truth when it comes to history.
I think I remember a video from Military History Visualized that examined the myths about blocking detachments and found that the Heer executed more of their men than the Red Army did. Strafbat were also used by all major armed forces in WW2
Infinity Ward only made up to MW2. They then proceeded to basically all walk away after MW2 launch due to friction with Bobby Kotik. They go by Respawn now though. Love these reviews!
for someone younger than me, your knowledge on WWII, older classic movies, along with your appreciation for these older shooters that paved the way for the popular games of today, is beyond impressive. A good portion of the people in MY generation give 0 shits about these older games. Quake, 3D Realms, even POSTAL are all words that make my friend group scratch their head. Hats off to you sir
Once again, appreciate you Elmo. The myth about how the Soviets treated their soldiers is one of the worst and recurring historical inaccuracies that remains in our heads. The Soviets were thrown into a struggle for their very survival, politically and as horrid as it sounds, racially. (The Nazis made it very clear that the Slavic peoples were just as bad as Jews.) The Soviet state deserves much criticism, but for the right regions. Their conduct in the early to mid war shouldn't be where that criticism lies.
Now imagine playing this game without knowing a shred of English which is what i did when when i played the game in in 2007 when i was 6-7 lmao, the fact that i got stuck in the training mission cause i didnt know what to do when you had to look at the posters i think says it all. But its good to see that someone sees this game the slightly nostalgic way i do.
People seem to not understand or appreciate that, as cheap and lazy as it is by today's standards, call of duty's recreation of scenes from movies and shows like Enemy at the Gates and Band of Brothers was done during a time back when the idea of a video game being able to faithfully recreate such scenes was a landmark innovation in game development and writing ability rather than just lazy... that and the belief that the Eastern Front WASN'T a meat grinder of unarmed troops charging machine guns wasn't common knowledge outside of historians. Remember, CoD's whole thing was to show that, unlike Medal of Honor, no soldier fights alone, that you (nearly) always have backup with you in some capacity. Besides, World at War also parrots Enemy at the Gates with its fountain sniping scene, and people don't complain about that quite as much.
That's because it didn't parrot the heavily criticised and proven to be historically inaccurate human wave tactics, just small fragments of fighting here and there. The original vision of CoD was to honour the death of soldiers in WW2 by faithfully recreate the grim and gritty fighting of the war, not making a goddamn Hollyweed movie. Remember, CoD 2 came out just 2 years after CoD 1 and was highly praised for its accuracies, especially in the Stalingrad campaign. Yes, the commissar still treated your soldier like dirt, but he cared enough to tell the poor sod to go get a PPSh-41 with full ammo in the armory before fighting the nutsze. That was what a commissar was supposed to do, inspire and guide the troops, not throwing unarmed soldiers into a meat grinder. Bonus point to commissar Markhov in World at War for his epic speeches and for fighting alongside his troops.
I was 7 playing this new and haven’t played it since I was probably 9ish, so many memories brought back here and you can really capture how well they tried to portray the invasion! Great vid with just the right amount of comedy!
Context: They were many instances of rifle shortages in WW1 in Russian Empire, and especially in the beginning of the war after major defeats of 1914. Mainly in 1915, sometimes soldiers were thrown into the no-man's land without any weapons in order to scavenge the rifles from dead bodies (friendly and enemy alike). The Russian government was forced to order as much rifles abroad as it could, and that's how "Winchester Nagant" came to be, a Winchester that used Nagant 7.62 clips.
I've played through the original cods so many times I can play through them entirely blindfolded, so I find it really interesting to see someone elses perspective on the way they play. Good stuff.
I can HIGHLY recommend 'Ivans War' and 'Stalingrad' - Both authors had access to archives in Moscow, and have both been very acclaimed. If you want to know more about russians under ww2. Some of the things you state, are wrong compared to what they have to say. Nevertheless, surely the soviet campaign is overly done. As you rightly state.
I had played allied assault back then but cod was the first game that really felt like you weren't winning the war alone. You actually had teammates. And the mg42 sounded so good.
@@HiGlowieOld school battlefield? Bf3, 4 and 1 are easily the best in the series, they've got the most vehicles, guns, customization and the best maps, also they look great and play well too.
@@HiGlowiei’m just gonna say it, modern cod is overhated. Modern Warfare 2019 was an amazing game that reinvented the franchise and was truly a labor of love by the devs
Very few FPS games' campaigns can rival the feeling of being in a war, in a unit that you get in CoD 1 and 2. The soundtrack, the modest but epic set pieces (see: no 5 minutes of train exploding right next to you a-la CoD WW2) all make these games more immersive, even with their crusty-ass graphics, than any shiny FPS nowadays. Great video! But also Lazerpig is pretty cool :C
When COD first came out it was a perfect storm that people not around back then may not fully appreciate. Saving Private Ryan had completely changed the film landscape in the late 90s and Hollywood had paid attention by making WW2 films popular again (instead of milking the Vietnam cow) in a way which was still fresh in 2003 when COD came out. A month before the release of the game the WW2 film "Saints and Soldiers" came out, specifically it came out on the two year anniversary of 9/11 which leads me onto the next point. 9/11 had made the west desperate for a victory so people were looking back in time to the "glory days". For years media had been obsessed with Vietnam but that was a loss, and a tragedy to warn against. Now the media needed to do it's bit to help rally people to sign up to join the war on terror and displace the dictators of the Middle East just like Grandpa did in Europe. At the start of the year America lead a multi nation invasion of Iraq and it was still seen as a valiant thing and a great victory, not a costly forever war that was ultimately pointless like it is seen now. War was on everyone's mind and WW2 provided the perfect playground for those who wanted to cash in.
The 507th PIR was at Camp Toccoa along 101st Airborne. It was attached to the 82nd at Normandy and then later attached to the 17th Airborne for Operation Varisty.
I loved medal of honor as a child. It was up there with SOCOM, metal gear, and the original Cod games as shooters I loved as a kid. Also it's crazy to think I'm watching youtubers who are my age, we were born the same year. I remember being 14 and thinking "man those TH-camrs are so damn old" Also also: you should review the Army men games
@@elmosanchez Army men RTS was the shit on the ps2. I even have it on steam, I think you can still play the multiplayer too. That said, Sarge's heroes on the N64 was actually challanging i can't believe i played with those controls
Yep, in general more people should know Operation Overlord was not just US thing. Few months ago i read article about canadians fightin in Italy. You guys deserve recognition in games and movies.
I played the demo over and over and over for this game before I bought my first gaming PC in 2006 and bought the entire series. I still have the discs. I'm old.
The allied airborne drops into Normandy were a disaster, but also a success. The German defenders, for varying reasons, were scrambling around everywhere trying to find these paratroopers, taking some defenders and equipment off the Atlantic wall and German soldiers further inland away from targets that the French resistance could hit. Keep in mind, they still believed D-Day was going to happen at Calais, so the Germans defending the coast of Normandy were fewer and less equipped than the soldiers in Calais. Not to say they were a pushover, Hitler did want the entire Atlantic wall up to strength despite believing in the Calais landing. But every soldier, gun, fuel can, and bandage misplaced, lost, broken, and used in fighting the paratroopers were not gonna be there for defending the beaches come D-Day.
0:24 this is true for me too, I remember my friends cousin bringing over the game when it came out and we spent a few hours watching him play through the campaign. When we played multiplayer I tried saving my friend by dolphin diving in front of him, the bullets suspended me in the air and went trough my body, killing both of us. Whilst my friends cousin had to explain what “Taking a bullet” was to my friend. I miss 2012 lol
I'm gonna say it Infinite Warfare is probably one of the best CODs out there and one of the few that dare to take actual risks, the game was hated for no reason and basically gave PTSD to any of the COD developers about taking risks, doing new stuff and not nostalgia bait their audience
Actually, tigers WERE present during the normandy landings, albeit not immediately ready, but they were deployed a bit after this, also my source is the book “Panzer Commander” By Hans Von Luck. I may be wrong, though
This guy gives off major old school youtuber vibes like i'm watching in 2010 or something haha. Now do a video on COD 3 it has one of the greatest cod campaigns of all time, cheers!
1:22 Man, i can remember that big CRT monitor, 640x480 resolution. Playing on my Dad's pc. Just after watching saving private Ryan. This mission was it. It was the magnum opus of ww2 missions.
Loved this! Do you have any plans on making a video on the medal of honour franchise? would love to see some stuff on frontline or the other games. also verry accurate comment on the average Latvian traffic conditions :D .
If you played CoD WWII and felt the common disappointment and disgust among those who have, then play Call of Duty 2: Big Red One. It's the game CoD: WWII wanted to be. In fact, in CoD 2 and 2 Big Red One, they casted several actors from Band of Brothers to do the voices. Frank John Hughes as Alvin Bloomfield is perfect. The entire squad actually interacts like a family. There's growth, there's depth, there's emotion.
Well to be fair, and this is coming from someone who's grandfather actually participated in the War in a way - by fleeing after the long siege and the freezing winter came to Stalingrad. The amount of people who actually perished is quite big, and from what i understand most of those fresh conscripts really DIDN"T have weapons most of the time, being told to geniueny find one off a corpse if they wanted to live. Order 227 WAS actually in effect and people WERE executed tho not as often as portrayed. Mostly 227 was enacted on NKVD officers that FAILED in their duties, of failing to keep soviet technology out of german hands by any means necessary. With the fear of death on every officer looming above their heads, they had to enact their own draconian rules on their squads and platoons, to dissuade their own men from running away by executing them on the spot themselves. The soviet approach, really was ruthless in a way - tossing bodies onto the enemy, hoping their would run out of bullets faster than the human wave tactics would succeed. Hell they kept doing it with penal battalions in order to cut down on important losses of their elite troops.
10:02 wait that guy saying Baker Company is that the same voice actor as in Company of heroes 1 (airborne missions)? the whole blocking detachment and no guns. from what I understand that was only at limited part of the front at the early stages of the war by stalingrad it was fixed (and there is also some notes about when they say there was no guns for the men) im not talking 100 men should have 90 rifles, 6 smg and 4 MG. what this front had was 100 rifles for 100 men and not a super lot of ammo (not as enemy of the gate or the game would portrait it 100 men 40 rifles, 5 smg and 5 pistols.
Ah yes, this game. The game that first introduced me to the FPS genre, alongside COD4, COD 6: MW2, L4D1 and 2, CS 1.6, and Crossfire. All of them being played on few internet cafes that had some of those games in some computers.
Shoutout to Lieutenant Nora Selter, Her real name is Jamie Grey Hyder. What a women, an Angel, her performance in the infinite war so gripping, honestly I'd fight front lines in space for her. When Isreal invades Lebanon, I'm leading the charge just for her.
Yeah. I like the little nod. Though it is a shame the specific callouts of the older games aren't being used anymore. Like in cod 2 where the npc's would say for example: enemy, by the ruined building, first floor
I have replayed Ghosts many times. I love their set pieces and I like that there's a lot of different mechanics in that entry. I will agree that the story could have used a lot more work but it is serviceable. Too bad it leaves off on an unresolved cliffhanger
Fun fact you can fail at 13:37 defending Moody you must take explosives from him by going where he falls I stumble on that as an accident I thought I stopped game and load last save to make sure and its a good detail
Well.. I remember in 2003, when I was 4 years old, and my dad brought a PC in home with this game on it. Man-o man... I spended so many hours on this game, I didn't even know what were the objectives, I just shot the bad guys. So much fun and good memories. Good times. Sad we don't get them now.
Please for the love of god can i finally see someone who understands using lean is required for this game. Instead of blinding standing in the open like a brain dead console peasant. **holds breathe proceeds to watch video**
33:33 yup trash player complaining about enemies but proceeds to play game incorrectly. The point here is to quickly lean out of cover take a shot, then return to cover. Run from cover to cover not blindly in the open.
Those stealth mission which are like third of the game. Actually like half because half of russians missons feels that way too, are so anti-early cod to me. That's what I love about United offensive it feels like actual battles and british campaing feels much better desinged too with natural bombardment-resistance-SO mission story. Even "stealth" missions in UO give you more allies. First cod mission feels so uncanny and eary when you are suddenly alone.
In all my 23 years living on this earth, I have never played the PC port of the original Call of Duty 1, 2, and 3. I've only played Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Big Red One on the PS2. 😅 I feel like I missed out on some of my childhood gaming experiences.
Who would've guessed the inaccurate depiction of Order 227 and the Russian human wave tactics were just around 80 years too early and for the wrong war. And who would've guessed ES would point out the inaccuracy of this depiction, but not that Pavlov's House probably didn't even happen.

In fact, in CoD 2 and 2 Big Red One, they casted several actors from Band of Brothers to do the voices. Frank John Hughes as Alvin Bloomfield is perfect.
The entire squad actually interacts like a family. There's growth, there's depth, there's emotion.
I still remember doing everything in my power to get a rifle at the start of the enemy at the gates mission.
Medal of honor allied assault was actually worked on by some of the saving private ryan crew and was deliberately meant to be inspired by it
COD 1 is the GOAT.
And the OST was so awesome.
That outro threw me back. Waiting on that CoD 3 video which probably might be the most underrated mainline cod title to date
Ghosts and Infinite Warfare were good, so I'm right there with you.
Now you got to do the Last Gen trilogy.
Finest Hour, Big Red One, and Roads to Victory
Ghosts was awesome. It had THE BEST hit detection and I never saw anyone praise that.
Yayyy!!! Daddy has uploaded :3 time to watch it before going to bed
The funny thing about the Dam Truck mission is how much of it was recycled into CoD4 final mission
Well to be fair, and this is coming from someone who's grandfather actually participated in the War in a way - by fleeing after the long siege and the freezing winter came to Stalingrad. The amount of people who actually perished is quite big, and from what i understand most of those fresh conscripts really DIDN"T have weapons most of the time, being told to geniueny find one off a corpse if they wanted to live. Order 227 WAS actually in effect and people WERE executed tho not as often as portrayed. Mostly 227 was enacted on NKVD officers that FAILED in their duties, of failing to keep soviet technology out of german hands by any means necessary. With the fear of death on every officer looming above their heads, they had to enact their own draconian rules on their squads and platoons, to dissuade their own men from running away by executing them on the spot themselves.
The soviet approach, really was ruthless in a way - tossing bodies onto the enemy, hoping their would run out of bullets faster than the human wave tactics would succeed. Hell they kept doing it with penal battalions in order to cut down on important losses of their elite troops.
10:02 wait that guy saying Baker Company is that the same voice actor as in Company of heroes 1 (airborne missions)?
the whole blocking detachment and no guns.
from what I understand that was only at limited part of the front at the early stages of the war by stalingrad it was fixed
(and there is also some notes about when they say there was no guns for the men)
im not talking 100 men should have 90 rifles, 6 smg and 4 MG. what this front had was 100 rifles for 100 men and not a super lot of ammo (not as enemy of the gate or the game would portrait it 100 men 40 rifles, 5 smg and 5 pistols.
my favorite albanian youtuber finally posted another vid about the boomer shooter era of COD 🇦🇱🇦🇱🇦🇱
Being Polish, I greatly enjoy the little "joke" about Poland being "liberated" by the USSR. Cheers for that.
Was hoping for that. Lol
Well, considering the Germand were going to kill 90% of all Poles as part of Generalplan Ost, the Soviets did indeed liberate Poland from that.
More like under new management
Ah yes, this game. The game that first introduced me to the FPS genre, alongside COD4, COD 6: MW2, L4D1 and 2, CS 1.6, and Crossfire. All of them being played on few internet cafes that had some of those games in some computers.
Finally another COD Ghosts enjoyer
Shoutout to Lieutenant Nora Selter, Her real name is Jamie Grey Hyder. What a women, an Angel, her performance in the infinite war so gripping, honestly I'd fight front lines in space for her. When Isreal invades Lebanon, I'm leading the charge just for her.
banger.....for sure my most played game of my childhood
Something I found interesting was that in most ww2 cod games after cod 1 the random npc German soldier lines are still reused I think even in vanguard
Yeah. I like the little nod. Though it is a shame the specific callouts of the older games aren't being used anymore. Like in cod 2 where the npc's would say for example: enemy, by the ruined building, first floor
I find funny how you analized CoD:UO first and then CoD1. Funny how that's also how I completed the game when I was a kid...
Definitely the hardest campaign to beat on veteran
Man, i wouldn't have thought it was possible to enjoy that damn bridge defense level.
I was watching the Call of Duty 2 video, and this came out right as that ended lol
I have replayed Ghosts many times. I love their set pieces and I like that there's a lot of different mechanics in that entry. I will agree that the story could have used a lot more work but it is serviceable. Too bad it leaves off on an unresolved cliffhanger
Your videos are kino, please do more.
fitting that in the year 2025, theres allegedly gonna be a direct BO2 sequal
finally someone else who likes cod ghosts
Ngl, Enlisted plays like these old cod campaigns but with actual player thrown in the mix. Very fun and its free to play.
15:15 Ingram wasn't in Finest Hour.
I did not expect the Finnish/Estonian national anthem. Well played kid.
PERKELE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@elmosanchezsatane perkele vito
Ghost and infinite warfares campaigns absolutely slapped
cod2 is still the best title in the franchise
Fun fact you can fail at 13:37 defending Moody you must take explosives from him by going where he falls I stumble on that as an accident I thought I stopped game and load last save to make sure and its a good detail
Well.. I remember in 2003, when I was 4 years old, and my dad brought a PC in home with this game on it. Man-o man... I spended so many hours on this game, I didn't even know what were the objectives, I just shot the bad guys. So much fun and good memories. Good times. Sad we don't get them now.
Ghosts was honestly one of my absolute favorites
Please for the love of god can i finally see someone who understands using lean is required for this game. Instead of blinding standing in the open like a brain dead console peasant. **holds breathe proceeds to watch video**
The MG-42 Gunner still sees you tho
33:33 yup trash player complaining about enemies but proceeds to play game incorrectly.
The point here is to quickly lean out of cover take a shot, then return to cover. Run from cover to cover not blindly in the open.
Those stealth mission which are like third of the game. Actually like half because half of russians missons feels that way too, are so anti-early cod to me. That's what I love about United offensive it feels like actual battles and british campaing feels much better desinged too with natural bombardment-resistance-SO mission story. Even "stealth" missions in UO give you more allies. First cod mission feels so uncanny and eary when you are suddenly alone.
Your videos are so great ❤
"Kill of Medal of honor, a.k.a Call of duty. later on one of the best shooter game"
In all my 23 years living on this earth, I have never played the PC port of the original Call of Duty 1, 2, and 3. I've only played Call of Duty: Finest Hour and Big Red One on the PS2. 😅 I feel like I missed out on some of my childhood gaming experiences.
CoD 3 never got a PC port lol
If you want to talk of the existential crisis of ageing, I was 15 years old when this very first CoD came out!
Who would've guessed the inaccurate depiction of Order 227 and the Russian human wave tactics were just around 80 years too early and for the wrong war.
And who would've guessed ES would point out the inaccuracy of this depiction, but not that Pavlov's House probably didn't even happen.
Love your videos bro keep it up
Appreciate it!
Call of Duty (2003) was "the" game for me. Love it. S tier.
I would love a World War II game that explored the other beaches of D-Day like Gold, Juno and Sword
Its very rare to see someone mention Corporal Shephard
