Ace Combat 5 Lt. Davenport aka Chopper last moments. One of the many great scenes in Ace Combat 5: Squadron Leader, which I think is still the best in the series.
@@CardboardSliverI didn't pause the game. But I did sit there and shock and almost got shot down. Is almost like an autopilot reflex got me out of the last missile that would have got me... Never before had a video game gotten me to cry over the loss of a virtual friend. That's why this game will always hold a special place in my heart.
didn't salute him...I should have...was a overly pissed at the time... chased every plane down that I could and RAMMED a few...., you'll have to excuse me lol.
I didn't salute. I just cried. Cried a blood thirsty war cry as I slaughtered EVERY SINGLE STINKING YUKE OUT OF THE SKIES!! I cried tears of pain after that. I guess I get a little over-attached with my game characters :/
I like to imagine that the enemies get a small gloat of victory for finally downing a "demon" and that the whole squadron is is just flying slowly in awe, and looking at Chopper's wreckage. Thunderhead cues in that there are more enemies to shoot down, and the planes just get taken over, the engine scream nothing but afterburners and Wardogs planes yank so hard to reengage they nearly tear the wings off. And the Yukes get absolutely slaughtered.
this is one of those moments where you just want to kill everyone responsible for the death of your teammate even if you know it wont bring him back :/
This game really gives you a close relationship with your wingmen. This truly was the saddest moment I'm video game history. I seriously hope they eventually do a fully remastered HD remake of all of the former ace combats. Thus game series is no.1 in my book.
ThatOneGuy97 I feel you. It was weeks before I let Swordsman fly anything other than his F-14, and more months before I let him anywhere near the aircraft I had Chopper use.
13 years on it still pains me to lose Captain Davenport. First time I played it I turned my anger on the Yuktobanian squadrons big time. R.I.P Captain Alvin H Davenport.
When I first played this I became infuriated with the bastards who shot him down. He was probably one of the best companions I have ever seen in the entire Ace Combat series, if not the best.
I remember first playing this, I was speechless, and then I went absolutely ape shit, I was just dropping them like flies, This is probably the saddest moment in any video game ever!
***** First time playing this I ran out of missiles during the main part of the mission, so I had to shoot them all down with my machine guns. I got about 10x better at using them that day.
I will ever forget that day....the shock....the pain....the rage.....and after it all, i was GRAVELY angry at Grabrack squadron....still am......never will forgive them....
The crying and pain that the other characters feel, the rage of losing a loved one, the completeness of the retribution you inflict on your enemy, paint a such a real picture of war and loss
this is why I believe this is the best game ever made... perfect execution... it knows how to draw you in... it's a perfect story.. I've played this countless times and this part still makes me cry...
12 years ago..... first he was an annoying character, than i realize how much he mean to me later on after all this year this scene still make me tears, it is the the mission i that i was totally in panic, run out missile run out everything and than I retry so hard and even went through ace difficulty and s rank just to hope there is alternative ending..... damn you chopper u chatter box u are dearly miss.
When chopper died I started to cry and my uncle was in my room and started laughing and said it was just a videogame I told him to shut up It's not just a video game TT_TT
The silence, the soundtrack immediately stops, Grimm grunting in anger, i like to think it's Blaze sobbing in the cockpit, mourning the death of his closest friend, that he would sit and listen to Puddle of Mudd all day long, then, he revealed himself as a demon, and he made rain death upon land and his enemies.
Top 3 tragic aviation deaths on fiction: 1. Goose’s death - Top Gun (1986) 2. Lightning’s death - Red Tails (2012) 3. Chopper’s death- Ace Combat 5 (2004)
i really liked how immediately after killing chopper you can fight those who killed him making you feel like a real "demon" also i have no idea why they had grimm and nagase grunt really awkwardly
After having played AC5 multiple times and having cried tears of rage during Chopper's death, I decided not to let that happen again. So after finding out Metal Gear Solid V's Quiet would have the same fate, I immediately looked up how to keep her alive, and successfully prevented her departure.
yeah... I tried to stick to his tail all the way hoping they would aim for me. After gaining air control, I flew along side him all the way watching his plane wobble uncontrollably.......... then............ I saw him plummet in the stadium..............R.I.P Chopper, I won't forget you.
My friends came over to my place to hang out and we were taking turns to play AC5 which we still had no idea Chopper died. When he died, all eight of us watched the screen silently... no one at a chip, no one took a sip. Two of my friends started tearing, we stared silently at the screen shocked... Chopper, probably one of the best game characters ever. Really hated it when he died...
Chopper's death brought back memories of loved ones and that feeling of helplessness over death in general. I just froze for a moment there, powerless, unable to move. The moment when Archer screamed "Urrrgh!", a surge of adrenaline kicked in, my eyes frowned, went into tunnel vision, heightened senses and hand-eye coordination, I just went cold-blood over all red contacts in sight. It could have gone on for a few minutes or hours, I just lost track of everything. When the dust settled, all that was left were heavy breathing and wet eyes. Then the Missing Man Formation. I broke down.
This and MGS 3 got me so bad at the time. This was a good era for gaming, where you felt emotional attachment to the characters and the story. Last game I felt this investeded in the story was the recent Doom.
I remember being so freaking mad and crying that I wasted all missiles and had to finish with just the machine gun I literary saw red too back then and even today I despise that mission
As a 14 year old playing this game in 2004 I remember this scene. I then remember viciously hunting down every single Yuktobanian plane in the air, and blowing it out of the goddamn sky. The guy was a cocky, maverick dumbass. But he was your, cocky, maverick dumbass.
Didn’t play the game for another month or two after this... but I tried to be strong and still play but at the same time can’t get over his death... ☹️
I think for me, the best part of this was how the person who was AWACS totally broke his complete and total professionalism and showed his care and concern for Chopper, even addressing him by his nickname out of endearment. Just a little thing I noticed years later.
Yeah, it's a real formation too. It's called the "Missing Man Formation", it's used at funerals or memorials to symbolize fallen soldiers, pilots and sailors. It was done at Gerald Ford's funeral with 6 sqaudrons of f-15s.
this is exactly why i love this game the most out of the entire series so far. it's got the best soundtrack esspecially the last mission, the most emotion, it's got the girl from the 4th one as your wingman XD, and the best storyline. it really immerses you into it. it's as though you ARE that fighter pilot and your not just playing the game. ever notice whenever you dive, turn, pull up, or maneuver in the game that you yourself move with it? i know i myself do, i just can't help it.
im 24 and I just remembered this game rn. Found this. I feel like Im 15 all over again..tearing up like a lil bitch. I tried following him and making sure no one would kill him but it wasnt possible. Rip Chopper.
First time I played this, I ran out of missiles. Needless to say, I gunned down EVERY single bogey with my MG. Ain't no way the lack of explosives is gonna make me just stand by and watch Chopper go down unavenged.
*actual dialogue and reaction to the scene Me: CHOPPER BAIL! BAIL OUT NOW! SHUT YOUR TRAP AND BAIL *explodion* *angry rage screams* THATS IT YUKES YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE, GET YOUR MISERABLE CARCASSES BACK HERE SO I CAN TURN THOSE HUNKS OF JUNK INTO FLAMING WRECKS *enemy starts to retreat OH NO! you do NOT get off that easy!
C'est pour ça que ce jeu est magnifique, la mise en scène est géniale, la music triste pendant que le combat continue, les pleures de l'équipe à la radio... Tout simplement génial ❤ Un travail énorme
With Ace Combat 7 literally around the corner, I thought I would come back and look at my favorite moments in the Ace Combat series, good or bad. I think what solidified our anger and sadness wasn't just the silence afterwards, but the fact his death had no sound as well. He was the annoying jokester that every group of friends have. We could think of someone like him, so we attached to him. When he died, there was no sound. Just his plane diving past and then nothing. I mean, come on, we hear the explosion of a plane from several thousand feet away and his explosion is silent? And to make matters worse, afterwards there is nothing but silence. No joke he was trying to make, no silence he would try to fill. Everything was quiet, and you realize what he meant to you, even if you saw it coming. This wasn't the greatest game I have ever played. Nor was this the saddest moment. But it sure as hell is in the top 5, that is for sure. And I swear if they pull this shit again I'm going to end up a mess because I have learned how to get more invested in games over the years to enjoy the story more, and that will get my ass crying real fast.
Pure hateful rage flowed through me when I played this for the first time and it’s still impossible not to feel that every replay. THIS is Ace Combat at its best.
I love how the game makes you really feel like you’re the demon once he dies. The way the enemies say things like “They’re maneuvering even better than before!” “Did the demon’s take them over?!” The game makes you feel extra badass on purpose. They know you’re angry. They even gave you the option to say no to Thunderhead when he tells you to engage for that same reason
To this day it still gets me. It was well played out when your wingmen went silent and the only thing that came across was them groaning as they pushed their plans to their limits. I went guns myself just out of hate and spite myself all those years ago. Still the best in the series to me with 7 not far behind though. AC7 was beautiful as well. Felt like they found their footing again but 5 to me needs an update and re-released.
so do I...its weird, but also nice to know..that people are willing to die for a real cause, or person...it reminds you that in this hell hole of a planet, there's still good...
Every time I hear the warning alarms when Chopper talks, I get more and more sad. Plus, a Yuke fighter line that makes fucking angry:"I'll finish him off, Knavnt 4 cover me".....
> Random Yuk pilot has killed Chopper > Yuks: Lol they're not invicible at all > Blaze has drawn first blood ! > Blaze is on a killing spree ! > Blaze is on a rampage ! > Blaze is dominating ! > Blaze is godlike ! > Yuks : *Chuckles* I'm in danger
Yuke Squadron: "These guys are no demons! We can take them!" Blaze (says in heart with engaging mode to Yuke Squadron): "What did you do to my friend! You killed my friend! Therefore there is no mercy for you! You have to pay for it!"
I remember when I saw this happen in my game, i legit pissed, I remember the exact words I said in this scene. "You didn't kill razgriz, you merely cut him, now feel the demon's wrath." Then I cried, I actually fucking cried and made sure none of those enemy planes escaped, and every mission after that I made sure to take out as many of them as I could.
I was crying, then im in rage, goes apeshit by spamming missiles and goes full throttle right after his plane crashed. Istg it broke my heart seeing how hopeless the situation are.
played this as teenage and boy that shit came out of nowhere. Missions after missions of success and boom, your squad's most characteristic guy dies.. I remember playing first time and actually fly a lot better and fierce after his death.
Chopper goes down in a single seat aircraft: "Join me in saluting Captain Davenport" Chopper goes down in a EA6-B with additional Naval Flight officer, ECMO 2, and ECMO 3: "Join me in saluting *CAPTAIN DAVENPORT AND ABSOLETULY NO ONE ELSE!*
I imagine if Blaze could talk immediately after Chopper’s death when you say yes when engaging he enemy, he would open his comms on a very open channel giving a bloodcurdling scream of rage like a demon. This would also signify the player’s rage, you and Blaze at this moment would be a demon itself wanting to revenge for Chopper.
>End this mission
>Save the game
>Shut down the PS2
>Lie down
>Try not to cry
>Cry a lot
This was the first time a video game story made me cry as a child.
*The final step*
I really miss chopper so much after long time 😢😢
>Boot up the game
>Cry Some More
*The silence just after the crash...*
The moment all of us were in shock
I flew by the stadium a couple times looking at the crash. then took off showing no mercy to those bastards.
The first time I ever played this, I paused my game and set my controller down in shock.
@@CardboardSliver i actually cry lmao
First time I played this I cried so hard and I still do knowing that there isn’t anything I can do to save him it’s heartbreaking

That's why this game will always hold a special place in my heart.
Enemy planes: "Shoot that plane, we'll kill a demon!"
**ends up releasing a demon within the player**
*My sleep paralysis demon giving me a hug while I was crying because of this*

Your words stabbed me right in the heart, i can’t imagine the pain, really.

You haven't flown a paper airplane, lol.
Did anyone else saluted Chopper at the end? I feel like I wasn't the only one :'(
didn't salute him...I should have...was a overly pissed at the time... chased every plane down that I could and RAMMED a few...., you'll have to excuse me lol.
yep, with tears streaming down my face.
T^T in memory of chopper he will never be forgotten......
i did....and i still do every time i see this...R.I.P Chopper....gone but never forgotten

The last thing those you've ever learned in this life... Was why the demons of razgriz got their name.
" These guys are no demons. We can take them! "
You just woke one up.

Blaze: So you have chosen death.
this is one of those moments where you just want to kill everyone responsible for the death of your teammate even if you know it wont bring him back :/
Even though it was a fictional character and his death was a part of the story
@@timur5241 woah thank you for your reply dude😳
It really means a lot to me right now💪🏼
I hope you're doing good🖤🖤

Africa Jones lets see what 7 has instore for us
Bring back wingman command
To this day… I need this game remastered
I hear them crying in the background; the sound of three pilots wishing through tears, bullets, and missiles for the end of a pointless conflict...
"Heh... I'm gonna miss that voice"...
CHOPPER!
Blaze rage mode engaging
he becomes the Demon of Razgriz
MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!
Still can't save Chopper
>Select YES
I guess you could say you were, blazing with emotion.
Chopper's death is the only video game character death that made me cry.
For me it was Chopper, Legion and Anderson from Mass Effect
ThatOneGuy97 and MGS's Bigboss death
ThatOneGuy97 I feel you. It was weeks before I let Swordsman fly anything other than his F-14, and more months before I let him anywhere near the aircraft I had Chopper use.
Larry the Lobster PJ’s hit me in the feels, didn’t cry but..
Pj’s from ace combat zero was the only one to make me cry
Chopper: Shot down to death
Blaze, Nagase, Grimm : *SO... YOU'VE CHOSEN DEATH*
13 years on it still pains me to lose Captain Davenport. First time I played it I turned my anger on the Yuktobanian squadrons big time. R.I.P Captain Alvin H Davenport.
tought i was the only one who havent forget
I will never forget.

Aye, I will agree to that.

I will ever forget that day....the shock....the pain....the rage.....and after it all, i was GRAVELY angry at Grabrack squadron....still am......never will forgive them....
I ripped and tore the enemy aircraft, until it was done.
By looking at the comments im glad i wasn´t the only one that felt that connection with the characters and also felt sad and angry at the same time.
The Razgriz is a family man, of course you're not alone. R.I.P Chopper.
Christopher Weeks We will all miss you.
The crying and pain that the other characters feel, the rage of losing a loved one, the completeness of the retribution you inflict on your enemy, paint a such a real picture of war and loss
When they do the missing man formation at end, it just hits me deep. Motormouth was the best wingman, RIP Chopper.
The next mission I shut off the game because it was sad without listening to his constant quips, it was way to quiet
That's just good writing. Really let the pain and the quiet set in so you feel something. @@flyinryan1459
Yuke pilot : yes! We finally killed him
Also yuke pilot : oh shit we killed him!

All these years later and I still tear up and get chills from this.

The silence after was so sad, then AWACS butt in, and I'm just yelling NOT THE TIME AWACS! With tears streaking down my face T-T

I've been playing ac5 on PS4 more than 7 honestly. Nothing compares to 5.
Pure hateful rage flowed through me when I played this for the first time and it’s still impossible not to feel that every replay. THIS is Ace Combat at its best.
I think this is only time I got emotional over a video game character dying him, soap, and ghost.
That silence, after his death captivated gamers, and when the emotional adrenaline kicks in these fucker go down hard.
I was in shock even though I kinda saw it comin. As soon as I heard Grimm and Nagase crying I unleashed hell on every plane out there.
I love how the game makes you really feel like you’re the demon once he dies. The way the enemies say things like “They’re maneuvering even better than before!”
“Did the demon’s take them over?!”
The game makes you feel extra badass on purpose. They know you’re angry. They even gave you the option to say no to Thunderhead when he tells you to engage for that same reason
Being that this was the first game where I lost a wingman that was plot relevant to the story made me sad :(
Dammit!...Chopper talk to me!
Thunderhead we just lost Chopper I say again Chopper's down.
shame............ i played this at 12... im 16 already, i cried like a little bitch tbh..........
I used to think I was alone in my sadness, then I read through the comments of these great people that feel as I do.
Slaughtering everyone after Chopper went down... it's basically the equivalent of Aang entering the Avatar state.

My eyes watered up... it's been maybe 10-11 years since I've played this. I didn't think it would have the same effect.
Yuke Squadron: "These guys are no demons! We can take them!"
Blaze (says in heart with engaging mode to Yuke Squadron): "What did you do to my friend! You killed my friend! Therefore there is no mercy for you! You have to pay for it!"
"Just four planes? Can they defend us until the evacuation's complete?"
....Bitch, I can defend you with ONE plane.
The missing man formation at the end gets me every time
Man, I was a kid and didn't understand english but still could feel the rage when this happened.
All I can hear during the piano sequence is Crimson 1’s scream in Kings.
20 years later, I still cry to this T^T
I was maybe 11 when I played this I remember finishing the mission and telling my dad Chopper died. The only time a game made me feel that way
Lets all salute to Capt. Alvin "Chopper" Davenport! -salute-
I remember when I saw this happen in my game, i legit pissed, I remember the exact words I said in this scene. "You didn't kill razgriz, you merely cut him, now feel the demon's wrath." Then I cried, I actually fucking cried and made sure none of those enemy planes escaped, and every mission after that I made sure to take out as many of them as I could.
not gonna lie i cried after the mission was done, still do when i play this :(
I still remember how pissed i got at davenport dying, none of my other wingmen even got a chance to get a kill.
I was crying, then im in rage, goes apeshit by spamming missiles and goes full throttle right after his plane crashed. Istg it broke my heart seeing how hopeless the situation are.
played this as teenage and boy that shit came out of nowhere. Missions after missions of success and boom, your squad's most characteristic guy dies.. I remember playing first time and actually fly a lot better and fierce after his death.
Chopper goes down in a single seat aircraft: "Join me in saluting Captain Davenport"
Chopper goes down in a EA6-B with additional Naval Flight officer, ECMO 2, and ECMO 3: "Join me in saluting *CAPTAIN DAVENPORT AND ABSOLETULY NO ONE ELSE!*
I imagine if Blaze could talk immediately after Chopper’s death when you say yes when engaging he enemy, he would open his comms on a very open channel giving a bloodcurdling scream of rage like a demon. This would also signify the player’s rage, you and Blaze at this moment would be a demon itself wanting to revenge for Chopper.
I will always, to this day, salute at the scene of is posthumous promotion.

After that scene where you fight off the remaining forces, either they got easier or my rage for losing chopper made me stronger...
15 years ago we lost a good man
This was the most tragic part of the whole game
i fucking lost it, shot everything, then proceded to fight back tears. we all miss you chopper :'(
