I really don't want them to do that lol. They will just be turning a ww2 game into some alternate ww2 while saying its ww2 (and yeah please don't forget that, micro transaction lots of it so Activision can sleep better) Cod as we knew it 10 years ago is long gone and made room for the cash grab that it sadly has become. Its really a shame because cod games look really good and sound pretty good but when some money related (gaining more) decisions are made everything is fucked up.
@John Homer Of Mogu Mogu or they could do the 3 years of the eastern front that they skipped over after Vendetta. We could get Kursk and Konigsberg maybe. Also they could fix the nade spam problem for veteran.
That kind of quality, but I'd like more theatre variety instead of the constant America dick sucking. The Soviet stuff was good in that game, but I felt the lack of anything commonwealth - and I also think it'd be nice to see some completely neglected theatres and nations (I'm not even going to start listing because I'd be here all day), and some different perspectives including some axis perspectives. People say "ww2 has been done to death" in games, but it's more like 10% of ww2 has been done to death. Nobody gives a fuck about muh omaha beach lol
Fun fact, they actually OPENED their canopy to dive, they did not close it when they were entering the dive. This was because the different temperature air could fog up the canopy, then you wouldn't be able to see anything. Also only a single diget number of Panzer IV f2s (long barrel 75mm) took part in the battle of El Alamain. You should be fighting across open terrain with shermans and Valintines, clearing mines along the way, the big set piece battle should include many M13/40 and M14/41 Italian tanks (and many italian soldiers) alongside short barreled Panzer IVs and Panzer IIIs Edit: Also remembered that the Ship that he bombs explodes in one huge explosion, and if this is supposed to be Akagi, it should be slowly destroyed by fire not go up in a giant fireball.
I would like to add that at 7:40, the shermans showed mount the long 76mm gun. This tank wasn't introduced until early/mid 1944 in the western front as a better counter to german heavies and, according to wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/76_mm_gun_M1#US_service), it wasn't employed in the pacific theater at all
Way better than World at War. Never seen a game that was so much historically accurate, and the characters that dont feel like superheroes, but nameless heroes, who lived and died. Such a beautiful game. 1/10
I find it funny that they said “if you fly too close to the sun, your wings will get burned.” Who wants to tell them that icarus’ wings didn’t burn, they melted.
So happy we got to see Polina's character arc. She went from "I want to kill Nazis" to "I want to kill Nazis" with everything her saying being "I want to kill Nazis". It really made fall in love with her characters incredible writing
@@Tronathon242 Oh yeah. I liked how the bloke who ran the place was Steiner. I thought it'd be the BO1 Steiner as CoD is linking all the games together now. After you kill him I guess not
Yep. Some SJW self insert writing. Look, imma preface this with I'm pretty liberal, and of course I dont agree with Nazi ideology. The fact that anyone needs to say that anymore, rather than it just being a given, is sad, and speaks volumes about just how retarded politics has gotten. But I'm saying it here lest anyone accuses me of being a nazi just because I think burning them alive for fun is "a bit much", and you just KNOW some @$$hole is literally going to do that, even despite my stating what my actual political leanings are first. Watch, someone's gonna do it anyway. It used to be kinda fun/funny to dehumanize WW2 Nazis, like in the old wolfenstein games. ... This sh@ts ridiculous now. For one thing, I think most people who actually give a sh@t about history nowadays, know intuitively that in the fog of war, there were good men and villains on both sides of that conflict. You just CANT lump old men and young boy conscripts in late war Germany Wehrmacht into the same category of "evil" as the concentration camp SS officers. Like, STOP portraying it in such black and white morality. It's childish. Shockingly, not every "nazi" was the same. And nowadays, the term nazi has gotten so intertwined with modern politics, you can't really just parody them in a game without it having some weird connotations now. You just KNOW whatever ret@rd wrote that arc was imagining trump voters/mysogonists/"anybody who doesnt chug the blue coolaide as hard as I do" as the "nazis" in this game, like a f@cking psychopath. You can literally FEEL the hatred dripping off the writer, its insane. And you know what, that COULD be a good thing if youre trying to write a convincing villain, it's something you could put towards good writing... But youre somehow supposed to be the good guy here thinking this way, getting sick enjoyment from setting a living human being on fire. I'm sorry, but I dont enjoy that, because I'm not LITERALLY A F@CKING PSYCHOPATH. What made the Nazis BAD is their inhumanity. How different from them are you really, if you think people should enjoy watching people, ANY kind of person, burn to death? And theres no, like, dark humor here, like you might see in the doom games, where gratuitous violence is supposed to be kind of a joke, it seriously comes off like the writer thinks this is the morally righteous thing to do. Sorry, but in actual combat, either kill people cleanly with bullets, or if you can afford to take prisoners when they surrender, do so, and hold them accountable for warcrimes legally. Anything else IS A WAR CRIME. I was in the military, even as some back end dude, never on the front line, they drill it into your head code of conduct in combat. That's what separates the "good guys" from the riff raff theyre fighting. Brand anyone a Nazi, and violence against them is okay, right? Right? Because of course Nazis are the worst thing in the world, right? Thats what that entire arc screams about the writer. And that kind of thing is why so many inappropriate n@zi comparisons has become just, NORMAL in modern politics. You just know some SJW, probably a chick given the character, got the opprotunity to write a character arc in a WW2 game, and immediately decided to self insert and do some horrific sh@t to a group of people that they think embodies everything they hate in modern politics. All the villains in this game come off like comically bad charicatures and strawmen. Theres so many amazing stories of heroism from WW2 that deserve to be told. I dont know why these gaming companies keep hiring f@cking SJW writers, and hand the reigns over to them to fictionalize it, fantasize it, politicize it, self insert the crap out of it, and literally make sh@t up, all while disregarding actual history. This is modern fiction that uses random WW2 set pieces. Otherwise, its just NOT a "WW2 game". And I'm not even sure WHY activision panders this f@cking hard to SJWs, given what an abusive company it actually is internally. I dunno, are they compensating for their culture of sexual assault within the company? Like, if you actually give a sh@t about equality, you'd be coming down hard on how awful the gaming industry is, instead of praising companies for their pandering media.
Even Daniels from COD WW2 got better character development, especially when he pointed at a German and said “That’s someone’s son.” Who tf wrote COD Vanguard
I love how during Stalingrad, one of the bloodiest battles of the war, you overlook the city with absolutely nothing happening in it. It's like everyone decided to take the day off from the war.
For these kind of games and stuff people are prone to not see the weight of what really happened in WW2 or wars in general, and i say this because you would be surprised by the amount of people that learns history on games or movies
History: (semi modernish gun) was prototyped and may have been tested in the last months of the war. Video games: ok so everyone has full auto kalashnikovs with red dots and modern scopes. Oh and they’re suppressed.
There were like seven as44s made. It’s ridiculous. The Soviets and Germans and everyone had sub machine guns that, at 30-50m ranges, no player would notice any difference.
They don't seem to understand that type of fuckery needs to be kept to the multiplayer. For some reason the guys making all the cutscenes got everything perfectly accurate, I'm not sure why they weren't responsible for the rest of it. It was probably one of the support devs like IW, Raven, Neversoft or even Treyarch behind those, which is why they aren't complete garbage.
I mean as annoying as it is from a historically accurate point of view, it makes much more sense from a gameplay point of view because it adds more content and personalization and so on. Plus it helps to give more leeway for story mission ideas and so on. It wouldn’t be as fun if there was less personalization and options. Part of what makes cod popular is the crest a class system they have always had.
So convenient that Activision forgot that the US Army was segregated in WW2. You can call it artistic license, but at this level it is just revisionism for the young ones. In contrast lady snipers in Stalingrad is extremely cliché… Painting by the numbers, created by uninspired developers and pushed by corporate assholes.
To be fair, that (“colored”) division was at that battle…just a whole year later. It did exist and worked alongside the British-Indian army in Burma/Myanmar.
Exactly bruh. They couldv done it so much better instead of whitewashing history and doing a disservice to all that served like this. Genuinely pathetic story telling. ion expect anything less from Activision, the company behind all those SA allegations
The historical accuracy in this game is just purely superb. Like when the Japanese use stg44 or when the British lose 12 planes within 3 minutes where as in reality they only lost 2.
well... japan were allies to germany so... still, highly unlike to have the STG44, don really know as i am no historian. But the MG42 is more belivable as japanese could have bought some from the germans..
@@doneflounder7086 even so, ever wonder why the STG 44 has "44" in the name? its because...well...it was made in 1944, the start of the mission says Bougainville 1943 in big white letters
@@molstad182 Bro what annoyed me most is that there are sergeants literally verbally shitting on Officers and ordering them around calling them useless. Nevermind the fact that segregation and racism was still commonplace during this time so those interactions were just super cringe and unimmersive.
COD enemy: spots 100 soldiers, shoots 200 bullets, hits no one. Player: walks into frame, instantly killed by the same enemy who now has immaculate aim.
@@manwithballsonarm6775 I think they just don’t want to be too historically accurate, to have accurate weapons accurate battles, accurate soldier competence, etc. also they caved to SJWs by adding women to a ww2 game which they didn’t fight in, it’s not sexist, they literally did not fight in the war except as maybe artillery or snipers, usually not combat roles though, sorry sjws but history is history, and call of duty hasn’t made a historical game in a long long time.
Yeah, the lee enfield was the closest thing to accurate and they still fucked it up with a 5 round magazine. Like that one wasn't even hard to fix, you literally just change the variable to be 10 instead of 5!
I think they kept a single 5 round clip loaded while carrying, then added another clip when they expected imminent combat. I think you can see it happen in 1917.
Bit of both I think chaps, at least from the various things I've read/seen demo-d, and like was said about 1917. I've heard it was common to keep 5 loaded, fire one or two shots and (situation depending of course) then load another 5 and go with 7 or 8, alleviating the magazine spring problems
@@whycantiputaname4944 but your character does talk in vanguard to the point they're annoying as fuck. WAW your character doesn't even mount a word from his mouth throughout that game.
The sniper didn’t know who to shoot when there were so many of them. So he just shot between them in panic. And when you are left alone you were an easy target.
2:08 That one actually happened, though. there are several accounts of Dauntless gunners pulling out their 1911s to shoot at zeroes when they were too adrenaline-pumped to figure out the jam on their machine guns. Apparently, Dauntless crews were a different breed of men.
@@mlgrocket as far as I heard there was only 1 occasion where a soldiers shot down a plane with a handgun - the zero came after him when he was gliding with his parachute after being shot down himself. But if there are more than this one, please share it, I'm interested.
Same thing during the Battle off Samar. An Avenger pilot after expending all of his ammo pulled out his revolver and landed 6 hits on the Yamamoto. Most likely the only pilot to ever land 6 .38 cal hits on a Japanese Battleship.
this video actually made me mad. there are people out there who worship this game. people are just going to accept that this is how games are if we dont stop buying this shit. we must to reject a low quality present to have a high quality future. good shit though nano, love you and the videos
Ay yo i just said the Same thing. If we as Consumers just stop Zombie buying shit games because of the Francise or name associated with the Game they have no choice but to produce actual fun Games with time and Effort. An Why would any Devs make a game not online Coop anymore Especially with the current times. Gurdians of the Galaxy as an example would have been amaz-balls being able to online Coop.
2:01 So let me get this straight, the enemy isn't scared off whatsoever with a machine gun, but the second he pulls out his pistol, the plane pulls off? Baffling.
Ayo! Remember when even Nano believed this is the worst COD he, and we, ever played? Let's say that aged like Makarov: At the start was cool, nowadays its *pain*
I like how when the flamethrower guy gets shot, his friend just puts a hand on his fuel tank and just shakes his head like "No pulse here, he must be dead"
The Chad World at War (Japanese): "You think you say nothing... you're strong? _you're not strong, you persistent bastard_ " the Virgin Vanguard (Japanese): " *Do yOu SpEaK JaPanEsE!* "
Fun fact: the air force closed their hatch during dogfights and staying at a certain level opening it during dives and take offs as the change in air pressure can mist up the glass
In the aircraft scene at the start no one addressed that they called the a6m zeros “bandits” and not “hostiles”. Bandits are a term for confirmed enemy aircraft and hostile is a term for when the enemy aircraft are attacking you
There's an incredible amount of garbage that they incorporated that shouldn't have existed or occurred game mechanics/story-wise... The differentiation between "bandit" and "hostile" in terminology usage is rather low on the "What the fuck is Activision doing?" scale.
Were you born today? Players have always said this from CoD games especially because the game journalists always praise the series with high scores....
@@acatthatlookslikehitler1277 what are you? British or Australian? Or American? Perhaps German? If i offended you, my apologies then because i was stating fact on their nickname in WW2.
They probably dont know much about history themselves to be honest. Its a lóóóóng way from the original cod game. At least that game made sense with the landings and assault of Stalingrad, the pathfinder missions on d-day. Sure that game had its own flaws, but at least it felt like you actually played in ww2.
@@thax321 Stalingrad and D-Day... how many times again ffs?! Almost like besides Stalingrad, D-Day, Iwo-Jima and Berlin other battles never happen. Where's Kursk?! Where''s Siege of Leningrad? Where's Ardennes? (at least WWII remembered it existed) Where's Warsaw Upraising? Where's Chinese front ffs?!
I really like how the pilot who has probably never done any ground combat has the on command ability to slow down time, always hit targets and see through walls. Definitely learned how to do that in air combat in the wide open skies.
To be fair every Protag having the skills of John wick at the low end is so normal in games, it is strange for someone to not have it. Check out this war of mine to see what it like to not be a FPS hero.
Fun fact: cod mobile is more historically accurate than this Fun fact: they actually have reddots and PKMs and whatnot in the time that CoDM plays in so... Yea
I was so confused watching the desert campaign. The German looked like the Japanese, that depot explosion and the 3 Australian meeting looked just like the first mission in the Brit campaign in cod 2.
To top it all off, it’s set in El Alamein and the battle itself is mostly on open flat land and not hills and ruins If I recall correctly, there’s also a similar mission in COD2 where you’re in control of a tank and that feels so much better than this
@@ryon5174 yes. Two sections of tank warfare. Although the accuracy was a little bit off with the pz2 gun, it was fun driving around freely, shooting pz2 and run over the enemies
@@luanhuynh238 i gotta replay it sometime, i believe i still have both Cod1 and 2 in my hard drive somewhere Best memory of that mission for me was the MGs mowing down anyone i missed Adding to that: That El Alamein Mission from COD2 was the very thing that little me made me wish tank battles were thay intense in Battlefield 1942
10:53 How the German casually is yelling "feindliche Granate" -> "enemy grenade", like there's also a "friendly grenade" that you wouldn't be so concerned about if thrown at you.
@@princewavy237 nope Sledgehammer Games wasn't involved with COD until 2011 with MW3. I still have the original MW2 with the case, no where does it say Sledgehammer Games, you might be referring to the 2020 MW2 remastered.
It was such a good game that it brought me out of a coma. As I was laying in the hospital bed, my brother was playing it on the television. As I awoke from my coma, I proceeded to get up and went to turn that game off.
Have you watched the disgusting Enemy at the Gates movie? Remember that in the film, except for Vasily Zaitsev, no one killed the Nazis, and the Soviet soldiers just fled and died from the Nazis? So Polina = Vasily, everyone else does not do anything in the war or die for extras)) Well, about weapons, and so clearly one rifle for three, and the fourth with potatoes instead of a grenade, everything is as according to secret documents))
@@Christopher-rw2bp Directly, because the game tries to repeat scenes from the film, the same scenes, the same hints. And in the film itself, all the others, even snipers, were presented as "worthless" or were absent as a phenomenon, in principle, indicating that there were never any snipers in the USSR. From here and Polina's exclamations in Stalingrad to the bombing when she brings Molotov cocktails, "I practiced shooting more than anyone else than these dogs from the Red Army." I will not say anything about female snipers in the red army, because Polina is the only one fighting for Stalingrad ... In general, my fifth point is just burning from Polina as a sovets character ... so do not pay attention ...
This game looks like they had a graphical department having a field day along with the world builders, and then the rest of the entire production team was picking chromosomes off of each other
The game is beautiful I will give tjem that. But the other guys only had 1 chromosome between the lot of them. I feel bad the graphics designers who poured there heart and soul into this game only for the writers story boarders and historical teams to gangrap eit into the ground.
Their planning meeting probably went like: Staff A: "So what do the kids nowadays like?" Staff B: "Um... They... They like marvels?" Staff A: "Marvels... Yeah, that's right! Superheroes! We need super hero team in world war 2, it'll be so awesome and unique and everyone will love 'em! Then we add so much cinematics that will TOTALLY NOT ruin the flow of the game! We have to cut budget and time for gameplay quality though, those cutscenes aren't going to make themselves!" Staff B: "You're such a genius! And maybe give the Japanese STG44? I always like that gun!" Staff A: "I know I am! And sure, why not?"
Ngl mate the whole game seems like a dweeb ww2 fanfiction, especially the characters "So, who's gonna be the hero? "Owh okey we need diverse soldiers, so one russian sniper woman of course, one murican pilot eventho the mission is all ground, one demolition-boy aussie, and then the leader which is a paratrooper!"
Could be worse, Japan and Nazi Germany were allies so it's not too far fetched that Japanese soldiers were supplied with their guns which were at the time very advanced tech
@stonieda I hope you know, not once in WW2 did German troops or Japanese ever worked together or served with each other. It makes zero since for there to be a mg42 or a stg-44 being used by Japanese forces. The whole optic sight is just a joke, I don't have to explain it. Things like those were not being tested and made until the 70's.
@@stonieda "multiple comments under this video" it's not a source of information, at least you can do your research, read books ecc, Im not telling your right or wrong just don't say something because of "everybody else".
This was actually painful to watch, it's really mind boggling how Activision stooped so low, literally ignoring the cries of its playerbase, to stop whatever they are doing and release some good ol' fashion CoD that everyone loves, just give us more old school modern warfare, hell just remaster the original call of duty where the Russians are attacking stalingrad with one guy holding a gun and the other is holding a 5 bullets for him, and use the gore from the old CoD titles, I GUARANTEE if they released that mission alone for 10$ with today's technology and actually putting effort into it, it will make more money than vanguard ever will
@breaking the 4th wall like campaign was pretty decent they actually Heard the community and got it right multiplayer Is good but needs a Lot of work...Game has potential unlike the monstrosity that vanguard and battlefield were .. but hey seems like this is what the gaming industry is becoming devs and producers releasing shitty and unfinished games really ..sad
Nano, the knife trick works by mimicking the glare of a sniper scope by combining the knife and sun to make a glare. Resulting in a fake sniper mimic. (Don't know if it really works but I concluded that)
Well, yeah, the issue was him standing out of cover with it, which the Sniper would 100% see, unlike the mirror trick used in Saving Private Ryan for example.
@@leaverpool8059 It depends how much freedom the devs get. Idk if Activision actually pays a guy just to tell concept artists and modelers what weapons they are supposed to replicate, but if they do, this person needs to get fired.
@@valentinmitterbauer4196 believe me working in a big software company myself. We are highly specialized, Devs does not come with the designs for sure. Concept artist does but he is not the one deciding just applying, the target here is basically the management who decides.

This game is one big insult to veterans and historical accuracy, my grandfather died in WW2, my mother lost him at the age of seven and it still gets to her now, it disgusts me, I hope this franchise and Activision burn.
Video games glorifying violence in general is an insult to veterans especially of the pre 9/11 variety. I cant speak for the post 9/11 ones tho they constantly like to brag about "kicking in doors" and "stacking bodies" not saying thats a bad thing but violence shouldnt be glorified prime example 1:38 we didnt really need to see every portion of the ship being blown up and men running away only to be consumed by flames moments later. Call my opinion shitty if you will but thats just how i see it.
And considering that the US is using british Sherman Fireflies for some reson (btw the german weapons are actually kinda accurate since germany and japanese did share weapons)
@@Angelthewolf yeah, very rarely, since they were across the world from each other. Not nearly enough to have entire regiments equiped with Sturmgewhers
@@ntfoperative9432 yea not that much but for example japan was supposed to build german Tiger tanks, thats the reason why japan did never put much efford into developing heavy tanks (not counting the O-I cuz it is an super heavy tank)
My favourite moments are when the Stukas (wich are dive bombers by the way) are casually gunning soldiers with their 3 machine guns, and not using the 250 kg bombs they have under each wings. Also they make their iconic noise while flying slowly above the ground. And they never dive-bomb also. So historically accurate they can't even make the most recognizable planes fly right.
@@theonionsystem7779 Well, I guess gunnig the ennemy instead of bombing them is way funnier for a psycho pilot, but in this particular plane and with the bombs still on, it's incredibly dumb.

It's a M4A3 76mm, the British didn't exclusively make anti-armor typed Shermans. Technically, the M10 and M36 are also Shermans, but they are modified and their turrets are open-topped (some have light hatches that can be closed, but it's still partly open) and were specifically used as Tank Destroyers.
"Do you think, like, maybe we should do at least a little research to make the game at least somewhat historically accurate?" "History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. If Metacritic lives and IGN dies, their truth becomes written, and ours is lost."
the fact that they name the head black guy "booker Washington" is hilariously transparent. its like they got together and wrote the story like 15 minutes before the deadline.

Dude, I actually can't believe this. Someone inside Activision (or EA for that matter) has to go and tell these people what shitty games they're making. Really... it's a shame
I mean, it’s been like this for over a decade, but often the problem was less about “historical accuracy” and “realistic guns”, and more about being effectively propaganda for the American military and the American worldview. Often times vilifying regions that have contained America’s enemies and somehow trying to paint the most powerful military in the world as the underdogs while also having the main characters pull out a super weapon every other mission and killing the enemies 50:1
The funny thing about the Japanese having those shotgun revolvers is that those were made for German civilians as a hunting weapon, and only about 100 were ever built
0:58 The fact his canopy was open the whole time, then he closed it when he started the bombing run is so mind boggling stupid. Dive Bombers basically had to keep their canopy open when bombing, otherwise the cockpit would cloud up, due to the immense heat of the aircraft produced inside the cockpit conflicting with the cold air, making it so they couldn’t see.

If they want diversity, they could just explore other less exposed theatre of war. SE Asia, China, Manchuria, Burma. They could have Indian, Chinese, Malayan, or Thais characters. Heck, they could have made a campaign of a Thai soldier who was initially have to fight the Japanese, lost a lot of friends, then suddenly their King made peace with them, and now he have to fight alongside the Japanese (who he despised) against the British. Then he has to fight in Burma and China, but conflicts against their Japanese partners are mounting due to discrimination. Later he joined the Allied sponsored resistance against the Japanese, preparing an uprising against them. Voila! Accurate historical narrative with a new and diverse setting.
Nah, that's dumb ! because everyone knows that the Second "WORLD" War was only about the Americans, the japs, and the krauts ! And also communists, with maybe one or two tea-drinker somewhere. Can you imagine ? an indian soldier ? or a Chinese soldier ? Heck, why not even put Italian soldiers, or moroccan soldiers, or even worse ! Imagine a french soldier fighting the germans during the events of Dunkirk ! Or a Belgian aircraft pilot ! Everyone knows that none of those things ever existed, right ?
They don’t want diversity, they want to please woke garbage while selling shit to kids and tie them to their game with loot boxes (That have the same effect of a slot machine on brain)
@@bianconos3967 If they want to be "woke", they could have made a campaign about a Senegalese colonial soldier fighting for France in Europe. Tell all about their sacrifice despite of discriminations and how mainstream media downplayed colonial soldiers' contribution to the war. But I guess they don't have the courage to do that.

Yup. 5 rounds in clip. Loads in bottom 2 rounds. Pulls 3 remaining rounds and puts back into pocket. 0 rounds in reserve. Really goes to show how much detail they decided to invest into the game.
Fun fact about the pistol scene in the plane, during ww1 before guns were put on planes, they'd shoot at enemy planes with their service pistol, thus creating the race to make airplanes with bigger guns (oversimplified the hell out of this bare with me lmao)
"Only room for one Sniper in Stalingrad" I agree, but going based on the timeline this game is set in, that's Reznov and Dimitri in the mission Vendetta, not you, Russian lady
Watching the Midway mission hurt my head. As a WWII enthusiast I was excited to have the SBD Dauntless in the game, but the game really did it a disservice. The silver lining is I hope people get more interested in aviation history!
Might not want to watch a full playthrough of the Stalingrad mission, either. In the beginning, the city is getting strafed by Stukas with gun pods that were used for tank hunting in 1943 onward, and bombed by a bunch of He 177 Griefs, which most certainly didn't participate in the bombing of the city. Also, any T-34 you see in the game is an 85, which of course didn't see action until 1944. You see them in the beginning of the Stalingrad mission as well. The Soviet uniforms are also wrong in the Stalingrad mission. You see soldiers with shoulder boards that weren't added on to the uniforms until 1943. Oh, also, the Shermans in the jungle mission have 76mm guns, which weren't used in combat until July, 1944. Also, the 76mm gun wouldn't be necessary in the Pacific, due to Japanese tanks having paper-thin armor. I also don't recall seeing any "Zippo/Ronson" variants of the Shermans either, which you definitely would've seen in the Pacific.
it hurt to see no one even contest you as you pop out of no where over a carrier,exactly lined up,ready to go,and dive bomb it in minutes of the game starting
@@VexingWeeb Funnily enough, thats kinda how it happened in real life. The 2 groups of dive-bombers that simultaneously destroyed the first 3 Japanese carriers at midway came in by surprise and nearly uncontested because Japanese air defenses were focused on other dive bombing attacks away from the carriers. Obviously there were many things wrong with the way it was depicted but the “uncontested” part was pretty accurate.
@@Alderak1 True, it was a bad mix of the IJN's overconfidence, their decision to maintain radio silence and the pilot's sheer luck of landing a bomb spot on the deck as the planes were restocking on ammo and fuel. A gambit, that one.
1:10 I laughed so hard when Nano using kamikaze on the Japanese. Also, gotta love that Activision turn MVP which means "most valuable player" into "most voted player".
I always played the cod campaigns, loved them for the drama and story or whatever. But I can't abide such blalent disregard for the time period. This really looks bad. Just so bad.
I never bought the game. Haven't bought a game with Activision slapped on the box since Diablo 3 first launched. I regretted it immediately. Not only that, I watched someone play CoD Vanguard. How the fuck is that "Historically Accurate"? Infinite Warfare is a far better game than Vanguard. And I actually liked CoD: IW (Never bought it, was given it for free one Christmas Day, years ago). The only modern Call of Duty I like since the release of (OG) Modern Warfare. Yes, modern as in day and age. Not the game's setting.
@@kingalton10 Bro you could barely finish IW’s campaign? IW’s campaign was awesome, I have no idea what you’re on about. That was probably the best campaign of the recent games.
0:28 Fun fact: At the service sealing or, even half of it, of the P36 you will most likely get hypoxia, thanks to the low pressure at such altitude. Our MC will most likely be extremely confused, slowly dying, get tunnel vision, and blacking out at some points of flight, with the cockpit open. Frostbite is also likely!
@@mertarican5456 people disliked it back then because at the time,people were tired of WW2 fps games. Nowadays,people enjoy WAW because of how it depicts WW2 as a dark time in history and for it being a (somewhat) historically accurate WW2 game
It’s absolutely astonishing, how the three Sherman’s at 7:46 have 76mm guns, even though they where mainly if not only used in Europe against Germany, but they also miss every shot against the Japanese tanks, that are literally in front of them
@Prussian Union pretty sure that’s the m18, which was late in the war, 75 mm where manly used because the Japanese had piss poor tanks, also the 105 howizter for bunkers, 76 was designed for German armor
Also in the Australian section the tanks with you are crusaders I don’t remember which type but they are light tanks with butter armour and are extremely fast they wouldn’t be in a convoy column driving 5 mph up a road they would be flanking around the enemy position stopping to fire then driving again making it very hard too hit them and even if they were going straight into the enemy they would be going full throttle otherwise they would have already been destroyed
@@derkaiser9881 those shermans aren't american per se, they're shermans sent to france, then france remade those shermans with their own turrets&guns.(M4A4 SA50) they really have no place being in ww2 seeing as how they were introduced in 1954 lool.
The funniest part was when they had the multiplayer kill streak war machine available in a world war 2 campaign. After I saw that I realized the developers could give two shits about historical accuracy.
I’m no Call of duty freak but every year players bash COD saying it’s the worse and then 5 years later everyone’s like “bro remember those good days of Vanguard” It’s the same crap story every year
You actually have to reload M2 Flamethrowers! They have a revolving cylinder much like a revolver but it holds small flares instead of bullets. The front handle of the M2 had a trigger to ignite those flares while the rear handle had the trigger to pump fuel through the nozzle. Great forgotten weapons video on them!
In battle, a soldier would expend the contents of the canister, drop the weapon on the ground (it had a quick release for this purpose), and come back for it after the battle to refill it. The idea of refilling it in the middle of a battle is laughable.
@@alvinoflys7504 Who gives a shit about the flare cylinder? If that's all they needed to reload to get the thing working again, they wouldn't drop it on the ground and come back for it later.
This game is heavily rushed too bad that SHG wanted to make a WW2 game back in 2014 instead Activision said make AW and in 2017 it's Supposed to be AW2 and We got WW2
@@cousinsgrimm7952 they would load 8 or 9 not 5, but even still it’s a video game. If they can put optics on M1 Garands and have guns that basically never existed, you think anyone cares about the spring wearing out in a video game?
You know, they could have just labeled it as an "alternate history" game and it might actually have been interesting, but no, had to be "historical WWII".
If it was marketed as alt-history, it’d be the cheapest shite in that category. Alt-history changes significant historical events to see how things would go This is just “hurr durr that war where they killed nazis but with more gurls and minorities hurr durr” This is garbage
This kind of label, would only make it worse ! not because of the plot (ok, maybe a little) but also because it would have feel like they """tried""" to push all of their mistakes and bullshit under the carpet. Like the MG44 in japan for example, or the stukas flying straight a few meters above the ground with their bombs still attached, or the gunsight, etc.
El Alamein could have been the best mission in cod history if there will been more than crusader and pz4, you played some time in a tank and more thank 30 tanks (plus there could have put some in background fighting). The mission that was the easiest the script since there was only 3 things to look upon (tanks, explosion, mass attack) was botched up into a crappy lazy one. Even El Alamein in cod 2 was better climatic than this.
@@stralabastro142 I bet if Activision were to justify it, they would pull some shit like 'in our timeline the germans annexed all of italy' or some stupid shit like that, they forgot 70% of the axis existed like bruh I'm not asking for fucking Romanian troops, but at least the third fucking major member of the Axis
8:22 The Sudayev AS-44 was an early Soviet automatic rifle that was designed in 1944 by Alexey Sudayev. It was produced in limited numbers and tested during 1945, but its development ended in 1946 due to the death of its designer.
I want them to remaster COD WAW, but I'm scared at the same time that this will happen.
You mean Grenade of Grenade: Grenade at Grenade?
I really don't want them to do that lol. They will just be turning a ww2 game into some alternate ww2 while saying its ww2 (and yeah please don't forget that, micro transaction lots of it so Activision can sleep better)
Cod as we knew it 10 years ago is long gone and made room for the cash grab that it sadly has become. Its really a shame because cod games look really good and sound pretty good but when some money related (gaining more) decisions are made everything is fucked up.
@John Homer Of Mogu Mogu why not get the original devs from CoD 1 and 2 those guys also worked for MoH
@John Homer Of Mogu Mogu or they could do the 3 years of the eastern front that they skipped over after Vendetta. We could get Kursk and Konigsberg maybe. Also they could fix the nade spam problem for veteran.
That kind of quality, but I'd like more theatre variety instead of the constant America dick sucking. The Soviet stuff was good in that game, but I felt the lack of anything commonwealth - and I also think it'd be nice to see some completely neglected theatres and nations (I'm not even going to start listing because I'd be here all day), and some different perspectives including some axis perspectives. People say "ww2 has been done to death" in games, but it's more like 10% of ww2 has been done to death. Nobody gives a fuck about muh omaha beach lol
Fun fact, they actually OPENED their canopy to dive, they did not close it when they were entering the dive. This was because the different temperature air could fog up the canopy, then you wouldn't be able to see anything. Also only a single diget number of Panzer IV f2s (long barrel 75mm) took part in the battle of El Alamain. You should be fighting across open terrain with shermans and Valintines, clearing mines along the way, the big set piece battle should include many M13/40 and M14/41 Italian tanks (and many italian soldiers) alongside short barreled Panzer IVs and Panzer IIIs
Edit: Also remembered that the Ship that he bombs explodes in one huge explosion, and if this is supposed to be Akagi, it should be slowly destroyed by fire not go up in a giant fireball.
I would like to add that at 7:40, the shermans showed mount the long 76mm gun. This tank wasn't introduced until early/mid 1944 in the western front as a better counter to german heavies and, according to wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/76_mm_gun_M1#US_service), it wasn't employed in the pacific theater at all

@@Tronathon242 Oh yeah. I liked how the bloke who ran the place was Steiner. I thought it'd be the BO1 Steiner as CoD is linking all the games together now. After you kill him I guess not
Yep. Some SJW self insert writing.
Look, imma preface this with I'm pretty liberal, and of course I dont agree with Nazi ideology. The fact that anyone needs to say that anymore, rather than it just being a given, is sad, and speaks volumes about just how retarded politics has gotten. But I'm saying it here lest anyone accuses me of being a nazi just because I think burning them alive for fun is "a bit much", and you just KNOW some @$$hole is literally going to do that, even despite my stating what my actual political leanings are first. Watch, someone's gonna do it anyway.
It used to be kinda fun/funny to dehumanize WW2 Nazis, like in the old wolfenstein games.
... This sh@ts ridiculous now. For one thing, I think most people who actually give a sh@t about history nowadays, know intuitively that in the fog of war, there were good men and villains on both sides of that conflict. You just CANT lump old men and young boy conscripts in late war Germany Wehrmacht into the same category of "evil" as the concentration camp SS officers. Like, STOP portraying it in such black and white morality. It's childish. Shockingly, not every "nazi" was the same.
And nowadays, the term nazi has gotten so intertwined with modern politics, you can't really just parody them in a game without it having some weird connotations now. You just KNOW whatever ret@rd wrote that arc was imagining trump voters/mysogonists/"anybody who doesnt chug the blue coolaide as hard as I do" as the "nazis" in this game, like a f@cking psychopath. You can literally FEEL the hatred dripping off the writer, its insane. And you know what, that COULD be a good thing if youre trying to write a convincing villain, it's something you could put towards good writing... But youre somehow supposed to be the good guy here thinking this way, getting sick enjoyment from setting a living human being on fire. I'm sorry, but I dont enjoy that, because I'm not LITERALLY A F@CKING PSYCHOPATH.
What made the Nazis BAD is their inhumanity. How different from them are you really, if you think people should enjoy watching people, ANY kind of person, burn to death? And theres no, like, dark humor here, like you might see in the doom games, where gratuitous violence is supposed to be kind of a joke, it seriously comes off like the writer thinks this is the morally righteous thing to do.
Sorry, but in actual combat, either kill people cleanly with bullets, or if you can afford to take prisoners when they surrender, do so, and hold them accountable for warcrimes legally. Anything else IS A WAR CRIME. I was in the military, even as some back end dude, never on the front line, they drill it into your head code of conduct in combat. That's what separates the "good guys" from the riff raff theyre fighting.
Brand anyone a Nazi, and violence against them is okay, right? Right? Because of course Nazis are the worst thing in the world, right? Thats what that entire arc screams about the writer. And that kind of thing is why so many inappropriate n@zi comparisons has become just, NORMAL in modern politics.
You just know some SJW, probably a chick given the character, got the opprotunity to write a character arc in a WW2 game, and immediately decided to self insert and do some horrific sh@t to a group of people that they think embodies everything they hate in modern politics. All the villains in this game come off like comically bad charicatures and strawmen.
Theres so many amazing stories of heroism from WW2 that deserve to be told. I dont know why these gaming companies keep hiring f@cking SJW writers, and hand the reigns over to them to fictionalize it, fantasize it, politicize it, self insert the crap out of it, and literally make sh@t up, all while disregarding actual history. This is modern fiction that uses random WW2 set pieces. Otherwise, its just NOT a "WW2 game".
And I'm not even sure WHY activision panders this f@cking hard to SJWs, given what an abusive company it actually is internally. I dunno, are they compensating for their culture of sexual assault within the company? Like, if you actually give a sh@t about equality, you'd be coming down hard on how awful the gaming industry is, instead of praising companies for their pandering media.

They don't seem to understand that type of fuckery needs to be kept to the multiplayer. For some reason the guys making all the cutscenes got everything perfectly accurate, I'm not sure why they weren't responsible for the rest of it. It was probably one of the support devs like IW, Raven, Neversoft or even Treyarch behind those, which is why they aren't complete garbage.
I mean as annoying as it is from a historically accurate point of view, it makes much more sense from a gameplay point of view because it adds more content and personalization and so on. Plus it helps to give more leeway for story mission ideas and so on. It wouldn’t be as fun if there was less personalization and options.

@@konstantin070797 what does this have to do with the comment above
@@Christopher-rw2bp Directly, because the game tries to repeat scenes from the film, the same scenes, the same hints. And in the film itself, all the others, even snipers, were presented as "worthless" or were absent as a phenomenon, in principle, indicating that there were never any snipers in the USSR. From here and Polina's exclamations in Stalingrad to the bombing when she brings Molotov cocktails, "I practiced shooting more than anyone else than these dogs from the Red Army." I will not say anything about female snipers in the red army, because Polina is the only one fighting for Stalingrad ... In general, my fifth point is just burning from Polina as a sovets character ... so do not pay attention ...

My favourite moments are when the Stukas (wich are dive bombers by the way) are casually gunning soldiers with their 3 machine guns, and not using the 250 kg bombs they have under each wings. Also they make their iconic noise while flying slowly above the ground. And they never dive-bomb also.

Love how in the pacific mission, the Americans have the British Sherman Firefly which was brought into service in 1944.
It's a M4A3 76mm, the British didn't exclusively make anti-armor typed Shermans. Technically, the M10 and M36 are also Shermans, but they are modified and their turrets are open-topped (some have light hatches that can be closed, but it's still partly open) and were specifically used as Tank Destroyers.
"Do you think, like, maybe we should do at least a little research to make the game at least somewhat historically accurate?"
"History is written by the victor. History is filled with liars. If Metacritic lives and IGN dies, their truth becomes written, and ours is lost."

Heck, they could have made a campaign of a Thai soldier who was initially have to fight the Japanese, lost a lot of friends, then suddenly their King made peace with them, and now he have to fight alongside the Japanese (who he despised) against the British. Then he has to fight in Burma and China, but conflicts against their Japanese partners are mounting due to discrimination. Later he joined the Allied sponsored resistance against the Japanese, preparing an uprising against them. Voila! Accurate historical narrative with a new and diverse setting.
Yep would be great
Nah, that's dumb ! because everyone knows that the Second "WORLD" War was only about the Americans, the japs, and the krauts ! And also communists, with maybe one or two tea-drinker somewhere.

Watching the Midway mission hurt my head. As a WWII enthusiast I was excited to have the SBD Dauntless in the game, but the game really did it a disservice. The silver lining is I hope people get more interested in aviation history!
Might not want to watch a full playthrough of the Stalingrad mission, either. In the beginning, the city is getting strafed by Stukas with gun pods that were used for tank hunting in 1943 onward, and bombed by a bunch of He 177 Griefs, which most certainly didn't participate in the bombing of the city. Also, any T-34 you see in the game is an 85, which of course didn't see action until 1944. You see them in the beginning of the Stalingrad mission as well. The Soviet uniforms are also wrong in the Stalingrad mission. You see soldiers with shoulder boards that weren't added on to the uniforms until 1943.
Oh, also, the Shermans in the jungle mission have 76mm guns, which weren't used in combat until July, 1944. Also, the 76mm gun wouldn't be necessary in the Pacific, due to Japanese tanks having paper-thin armor. I also don't recall seeing any "Zippo/Ronson" variants of the Shermans either, which you definitely would've seen in the Pacific.
it hurt to see no one even contest you as you pop out of no where over a carrier,exactly lined up,ready to go,and dive bomb it in minutes of the game starting
@@VexingWeeb Funnily enough, thats kinda how it happened in real life. The 2 groups of dive-bombers that simultaneously destroyed the first 3 Japanese carriers at midway came in by surprise and nearly uncontested because Japanese air defenses were focused on other dive bombing attacks away from the carriers. Obviously there were many things wrong with the way it was depicted but the “uncontested” part was pretty accurate.

@Prussian Union pretty sure that’s the m18, which was late in the war, 75 mm where manly used because the Japanese had piss poor tanks, also the 105 howizter for bunkers, 76 was designed for German armor
Also in the Australian section the tanks with you are crusaders I don’t remember which type but they are light tanks with butter armour and are extremely fast they wouldn’t be in a convoy column driving 5 mph up a road they would be flanking around the enemy position stopping to fire then driving again making it very hard too hit them and even if they were going straight into the enemy they would be going full throttle otherwise they would have already been destroyed

This is just “hurr durr that war where they killed nazis but with more gurls and minorities hurr durr”
This is garbage
This kind of label, would only make it worse ! not because of the plot (ok, maybe a little) but also because it would have feel like they """tried""" to push all of their mistakes and bullshit under the carpet. Like the MG44 in japan for example, or the stukas flying straight a few meters above the ground with their bombs still attached, or the gunsight, etc.
Nano: *shoots soldier* Soldier: Danke (Thank you)
Call of Duty Vanguard: the game where you can hunt down one of the most maneuverable plane in the war with a DIVE BOMBER.
I go do some research there is a SBD Ace who shot down 3 zeros
Call of duty vanguard: Game where fighter planes from 1942 400 altitude in the sky can shoot with 100% accuracy at 4 russians on the ground
El Alamein could have been the best mission in cod history if there will been more than crusader and pz4, you played some time in a tank and more thank 30 tanks (plus there could have put some in background fighting). The mission that was the easiest the script since there was only 3 things to look upon (tanks, explosion, mass attack) was botched up into a crappy lazy one. Even El Alamein in cod 2 was better climatic than this.
Ahh I still remember that McGregor's Scottish accent saying
"Looks like that was the last of the Huns, eh' Davis?"
It was lazy made the battle gameplay could have more intense and extended.
I still remember that damn machine gun in the second floor during the ambush. Killed little 7-8 year old me a good few times
they didn't even put italians
@@stralabastro142 I bet if Activision were to justify it, they would pull some shit like 'in our timeline the germans annexed all of italy' or some stupid shit like that, they forgot 70% of the axis existed like bruh
I'm not asking for fucking Romanian troops, but at least the third fucking major member of the Axis
8:22 The Sudayev AS-44 was an early Soviet automatic rifle that was designed in 1944 by Alexey Sudayev. It was produced in limited numbers and tested during 1945, but its development ended in 1946 due to the death of its designer.
And was a legit rival to the AK 47
I like how it’s an entire Army of only black dudes in the Pacific mission
Next CoD: American soldiers using M4A1 with thermal optics and laser sights in WW2
