The inaccuracies are apparently intentional? The devs wanted to make every gun satisfy to shoot so the details are exaggerated as hell and the animations are super flashy
@@ArcturusOTE Yeah, the game wasn't meant to be accurate with it's weapons. The devs just wanted the game to feel punchy and hollywood like. I mean, the first assault rifle you get in the game is an Ak-47 with a 60 round mag, and left sided charging handle. Nobody really cared about gun intricacies back then.
The gameplay, graphics, sound design are so fcking great for a game made in 2006. There was supposed to have its sequel called "Black: Second Mission". I wish they didn't cancelled it. The storyline is cliffhanger
@@unforgivencaleb528 black second mission was a different game, or well, prototype. the game files for it have leaked, it was cancelled while it was very early into development based on them. no actual levels in the builds, just initial engine test work. bodycount lost the creative director who was the whole reason it was considered a spiritual successor during development, I do absolutely dig the design of the target soldiers in bodycount, and their weaponry looks great, but the game feels horrible to actually play.
Another great detail is that while under enemy fire, the player's reload and equip animation is slightly faster. And also if the player is completely out of ammo, during the equip animation for some weapons like racking the gun, there will be no bullet in the chamber. Very realistic and detailed
The absurd magazine capacities were there to simulate how action movies have the hero fire constantly without having to reload. The entire game is a bonkers 80’s action movie in video game form.

The gameplay of the game is just like a hollywood film, so it takes a few rounds to kill, compared to multiple with a rifle, so it really feels like it Headshot are 1 hit kills tho, with some exceptions to masked enemies
@@freekill6568 had a horrible encounter with those enemies that have shotguns. It was on the second mission and I was at the part where I needed to clear out the houses. I was clearing out a shed that has a bunch of shelves inside.

Definitely a prime example of an old-style game focused on the feel of shooting a gun, not the accuracy of shooting one. Not that arcade shooters aren't a good time, though.
I don't care about the ugliness in the bullet loading animation When the fov is increased, what's important is that this is the game I liked most as a child And makes me nostalgic
One easily-missed detail Criterion Games gave a fair number of these weapons were "Combat Reloads & Draws", where you'd draw, swap & reload your weapon faster when under fire. But in all honesty, I remember these being very inconsistent to occur (And even then, you'd have to be actively being shot at for them to occur, when you're most likely avoiding giving them the chance in the first place) and all they did was hasten the animation, usually by skipping the Bolt-Cycles on draw, the Magazine Checks on Reload or any of the other Hollywood Indulgences. As for the game itself, it largely lived up to the destructive characteristics of Criterion's games and wasn't the worst shooter to play on a console (I was an Xbox lad, so I likely had much more options than those with the PlayStation 2 did for shooters, but they certainly got a sheer quantity of interesting if not legendary games otherwise). I will give it props for letting you fully rebind buttons individually, but if there really is a way to adjust Look Sensitivity beyond it's *sluggish* default, I've never found it on the Xbox copy. And for whoever tried to market BLACK as featuring "Gun Pornography", a quote from Sgt. Johnson in Halo 2 comes to mind: "If you didn't want your ass kicked, you shouldn't have stuck it out so far!".
something I don't see in animation showcases of this game is that the weapons all have two sets of animation for when you're in combat vs when you're not and how it skips a lot of things like checking the bullets while loading the revolver or not extending the stock while pulling out the MP5
Mission 2 in a nutshell: "There, a glock with silencer should be enough to kill shitload of terrorists guarding the border" I remember sneaking around the first area of the map just looking for 2 terrorists wandering around with ak-47 so i can get a better weapon XD
Really is a testament to how well made the ambience, sound design, animation and overall style of the game are that I'm willing to completely overlook the fact that these weapons are all rendered after crappy airsoft knockoffs.
It is actually meant to have completely inaccurate weapon models since the devs only had one particular goal in mind. To create a Hollywood-esque shooter game to the extreme.
Black is my first basic game to knowing about reloading animation back when I was 10 in 2011, right now I realise how breathtaking this game are even thought it have many mistakes at reloading animation 😅 Yes, this is my best childhood game for ps2❤️
There was something written that the people who name disney films get atleast 300 dollars for it, the person who named cars got a 300 bonus look where we are now, "BLACK"
Childhood game right here. I revisited this game weeks ago and realised how much mistake the animation has and I thought, "There's so many things wrong here, M4sked is blushing"
I used too play this like crazy back in the day... Now the entire gameplay was inspired by hollywood movies. Hence the inaccuracies and odd mag caps. You where playing a shooter movie..
You may didn't know but there's a panic reload where the player reloads the gun faster when the enemy is near and also some weapon sound different when it's a silver weapon (infinite ammo)
One of the games I used to play a lot when I still had the PS2. Easily one of the most awesomely fun game if you can ignore the details. Not enough "meats", though(by "meat", I mean the overall game contents). The M203 grenade launcher do have standalone models, but real-life counterparts are rare sight. In fact, there's already a number of weapon attachments that can be made standalone if you have the conversion kits for them.
Remember the refinery level? Just after you literally blow up 2 buildings with a RPG and come inside the refinery, you go through a corridor At the end, there is a big pile of boxes, there is a P90 there, also from now on, 30% of the enemies spawn with it, as I remember, they don't use helmets, and P90 uses both SMG and AR ammo pools
i think the main reason of reciprocating bolts and mirrored models is to have a smany moving bits to the gun to make it look better, back then they couldn't animate all the fiddly bits like mw2019 or battlefield(for example) do
This game has one great detail no other FPS game has, in the game there are like videos showcasing the weapons and they are sick it's equivalent to a gun porn.
6:03 Pretty sure the m203 arming distance is off too, minimum should be around 45 ft and the Black agent puts it right in front of himself (looks like 18-25ft give or take)
@@ianchoi7142 I mean, I like it since it gives more meaning to every reload and it makes the player feel less superhuman, but I understand that on a fast paced shooter the last thing you need is a blurry vision because the character is like "hmm yes, the mag is made out of mag"... Or you don't like it for some other reason?
@@juanandresmendezmartinez8024 hampering gameplay to maybe(?) give more focus on the reload which personally it shouldn't do. Reloads should not reduce the player's vision and see an optometrist afterwards, because not blurring the background during reload doesn't make someone feel like a superhuman just because they can see what's in the background. If you want to make reloads more meaningful, I'd say slow it down a bit but not too slow like insurgency level (which the game still made reloads meaningful).
@@ianchoi7142 Ok, we can agree that blurriness may not be the best gameplay-wise. However, and in all honesty I don't know why, I feel like it's more "satisfactory" that way. And it's nice to have a civil discussion on the internet, thank you.
Throwing it out there buuuuttt what do you expect when reviewing weapons in early 2000's games anyway? Should they have been portrayed as realistically as possible at the time?
The game reminds me of fear overly dramatic gun play and destructible environments and Guns that have ridiculously high magazines you should play this game
so for the Magnum you got a thing wrong, the speedloader isnt used like a moonclip as we can see it fall out before the cylinder is shut. this is obvious even without using slow mo
Here a suggestion: do u think u can do Verdun or/and Tannenberg? Its WW1 game on steam, both are the same just one takes place on western front and the other in the east
