There was an editing mistake around 8:38, I always rewatch my videos, Idk what the happened there, whoops. I tried to trim it a bit with the youtube editor but if it still looks jank thats why. Some people say I'm being unfair because this is supposed to be "alternative history" so I went to the official cod website and vanguard is advertised as follows: "The award-winning Call of Duty® series returns with Call of Duty®: Vanguard, in which players will experience influential battles of World War II as they fight for victory across the Eastern and Western Fronts of Europe, the Pacific, and North Africa ." The funny part is that none of these inaccuracies are in any of the in-game cutscenes(videos), almost as if they knew! Lmao Anyways, save your money.
"It is truly the most IMMERSIVE Call of Duty experience, I ever played!" Let's see: => Red dot sight in WW2 (Technically just follow up the game engine of MW2019, not a big deal for multiplayer, but not suitable for a campaign maybe) => Russian speaks English, but German speak German => Flashbang in WW2 => Suddenly changed theme to "The Avengers" in final mission Yeah, truly Immersive -_-
@@stormyprawn it basically not the first time. I know there are many cod series that have an issue language like that before Vanguard appears. But i need to admit that this one is a quite mess and not consistent. Like the VA cannot decided if he/she wants to be an American or a Russian people.
Yes. I find 1 picture of woman in the army. This means we can give her all the weapons and make her singlehandedly stop napoleon at the battle of waterloo. And she can have a shoulder fired puckle gun because she's smart and innovative
Yeah lets glorify killing conscripted germans and most of the time pows from other countries that were fighting on the western front. People often forget that history is written by the victor and of course history will have us believe that millions of people on one side of a war were all satan level evil when many didn’t even want to fight a losing war and have their homes bombed out. We just skimp over the fact that the allies we bombed civilian targets in Germany constantly with no other objective other than to beat the populace into submission. Don’t get me wrong they did the same thing but two wrongs don’t make a right in war. Killing millions of civilians and then calling yourselves liberators is a bit of a stretch. Just offering a different point of view for people.

@@bignickenergy2042 > When in history has the victor of a major war ever written about their own short comings and atrocities? Well in the real history, you know.

The difference is that in Wolfenstein you are shooting actual nazies, while in this game they're calling the Wermacht "Nazies", while in reality they were just German soldiers forced into war without any choice, either fight or be killed for being a deserter. Many young and innocent German children were killed brutally in WW2 too. I don't think it's fair to demonize the Wermacht and all the German people during that period, so all video games and movies who do that are garbage imo. In Wolfenstein, you kill actual Nazies who look like SS soldiers. These were actually Nazies and the ones voluntarily signing to commit genocidal atrocities. So in Wolfenstein it's understandable. But in this game, that line was just cringe. The German soldiers were the same as the Russian and American soldiers. You had no choice back then. If you're a healthy man of fighting age, you had to fight in WW2. Otherwise you either get jailed for being a traitor (the US) or straight up executed (Russia and Germany).
10:58 The game makes you evade the bombardment by running backwards along the firing line. That would actually only keep you in the firing line longer, it's stupidity.
i like how in this game the germans do awful things and you think "thats awful" and then the main characters do iterally the same thing and the game applauds it
Ah yes, good old grandpa, defending the beaches of Normandy with a stockless STG-44 w/ underbarrel grenade launcher and pistol grip, drum mag, suppressed (duh) and with a optic that won’t exist for another 40 years. He’s got a bad shoulder, on account of the fact that without a stock to stop it the STG ejects the bolt at high speeds out of the back of the gun, but fear not! He just picked up his trusty Luger P08, red dot sight and suppressed, and ran at Mach 10 into a corner before healing.
Then he saw his squad leader and squad-mates with 18 round cut-down barrel M1 Grands slaughter captured allied paratroopers. Learning the errors in his ways, he took his helmet off and killed his own comrades with a suppressed incendiary shotgun, safely meeting with an American-British special operations force armed with MP-40s, still with his German uniform on, and got his assignment to assassinate Hitler and his top generals before they escape to Japan and nuke Russia. A true hero!!!!!!!!
I remember my grandfather's WWII story where he was pinned down under enemy fire... 8 Germans were surrounding him quickly...as he started to cry, a tomahawk came flying out of nowhere, decapitating 3 Germans at once...then the bravest woman he ever saw came flying in with a roundhouse kick, and just started beating down the rest of the German soldiers barehanded...huge bulging biceps and all. She made it look easy, so strong...stunning and brave...and as my grandfather wiped his tears knowing he would be ok, she picked him up with one hand, slung him onto her back, and carried him and 3 others back to camp.
I'm glad you volunteered as tribute for this torture. It has been rather fun to watch, I'd never personally indulge myself but you sir make a fine example of such terrible things
My least favorite thing about the holographic sights in WWII is that it's yellow. Why is it yellow?! Were the designers sitting on their gaming chairs, thinking "Hmmm yes, yellow old looking color, put in game, yes ooga booga." I hate new CoD, never playing this trash.
@@kroww5h848 we actually had some kind of holographic sights in ww2. and it was yellow'ish. the problem is it was so fking big, almost as big as a baby's head. and it was used on planes. maybe the devs just go to google and asked if holographic sight was used in ww2, then just added it anyway lol
@@eastmsvie You're kidding. I thought the technology wouldn't come around until the 1950s. That blows my mind. It is a fact that the Germans had been experimenting with night vision. Fortunately, the system was too bulky and expensive to be put into widespread use...
I swear, most modern or modern-ish CoD games have the obligatory "The bad guy captures us and explains his evil plans" scene, it's like a goddamn trope.
Sledgehammer Games: *Advertises a historically accurate campaign* Also Sledgehammer Games: *Proceeds to make World War II fan fiction with multiple obvious inaccuracies*
They never advertised a historically accurate campaign. The entire premise of Vanguard is an alternate reality WW2. The game isn't perfect but don't just make shit up.

I really hate how fictionalized this franchise has become. WWII in reality was so fucking brutal and unprecedented that you don't need all this alternative history kid bullshit. Either create a really solid intense WWII shooter that focuses on historical realism, or give the WWII era a break already!
My buddy Lui is a Marine Veteran, retired. I asked him how many times he used a slide technique and he said only once and completely on accident. I asked him if anyone ever pulled off a cool shooting trick and he said someone actually managed to spin three times and fire one round from the hip and hit dead center of a target. So there's that lol
The one thing that will always stick with me about CODWAW is the very young, high voiced, German soldiers panicking and screaming dialogue. That mixed with the close quarter street battles and grim, grey palette of colours made CODWAW anything but a pretty game.
Remember when COD games based on World War Two were actually decently historically accurate in the people or weapons or even game design (i.e.. less running and gunning or making you feel like a part of an army then being said army.) Even though they weren't trying to be a super realistic game? Yeah, me too. (Big Red One, Rising Sun, World at War/Final Fronts are all prime examples.)
Rising sun is from medal of honor, but yeah i get your point. They were a million times better. Medal of honor european assault was so good as well, the ost omg..
I love how the germans casually stroll into Stalingrad after a single bombing while IRL the soviets had turned the city in a freaking fortress with several layouts of defensive perimeters in which the german army had to fight for each meter of ground they gained. And Activision is still talking about historical accuracy >
That's a big problem nowdays. Most games have great graphics, it's hard to find a new game with bad graphics nowdays. On another hand a shitty game still will be a shit. Even some vaporware nonfunctional kickstarter scam have good graphics.
it's true that the graphics are great, also the cinematics are amazing. But after that every single thing is trash, this comes nowhere close to the old CoD games. They were and still are gold
That's what I originally said about The Last of Us 2. I started watching the opening scene and I said out loud "Holy shit this game is incredible, it looks better than real life." Then I kept watching and saw the rest of the game. Words can't describe the disappointment I had for such an anticipated game.
Remember when the violence and gore in CoD WaW had emotional impact and wasn't just put in over and over and over for cheap and meaningless shock value?
Remember when WaW reinforced a feeling of tension and helplessness in its Stalingrad mission? Remember when you weren't the one winning the entire war by yourself?
That game didn’t need cutscenes to show you that either, you were always in control during moments like that Cutscenes only came between missions and it was a mix of IRL footage and a map of where you are
@@1CE. WAW cutscenes were unprecedented as fuck. There was real life footage of civilians being executed and buried alive. How the fuck is this the same franchise?

12:35 Fun fact. Germans in WWII had a tendency to use bombs that had a detonation delay of up to 80~ hours. This was due to the psychological effect the had on bomb squads.
@@MichaelJ44 In germany we find regular WW2 Bombs from all kind of sorts.in these days the bombs hat an deleay mechanism that fuses the bomb via an acid reaction on the detonator. But when the bomb impacted on the ground ther was the posibility that this bomb would dive in the soft gruond and in the moving in the ground in a circul shaped move the bomb would would be ther up side to downside that the acid time detonator will not funktion and that is one of the most reasons that bombs after all these years wont detonate and thers a problem to that in the ground bomb could move under the fundaments of an pre war building. This cases often happend that wehn buildungs wher break down from the impireal age under the basment ther ware ww2 bombs and often ther where deadly acidents and many worker got killed. One famuse but sad incident happend when an worker opend the ground with an heavy buldozer and an 2000 kg bomb exploded and partet the bulldozer in two parts.
It's amazing how World War II, with all its political complexity has been reduced to a comic book story with the band of diverse plucky heroes facing off against the one dimensional bad guy who is evil for the sake of evil. Of course it makes sense that the Soviets and the Allies would run some sort of joint OSS op or whatever. Nevermind that the Western Allies and Soviet Union deeply distrusted one another and often times covertly worked against each other.
i feel like the only reason cod keeps picking WW2 for its stories is because it’s got a much more clear-cut “good” and “bad” side, one side was doing genocide and the other was stopping them (im being very reductive by this, i know, but you get what i mean). i would love to see a cod game set in the Vietnam War, or one of the many conflicts in Africa, or perhaps the Chechen Wars. but of course, these conflicts don’t have a faction that you can point at and say “the world would be objectively worse if these guys won”, unlike WW2. WW2 has been done to death, there is nowhere left to take this conflict in videogames. but hey, gotta have that mass appeal
@@beedubree2550 I actually hoped someone made a WW2 game from Germany's POV. Not the ideology ofc, but there's actually several good stories that would be perfect for games/movies (example like 1 Tiger Vs 50 T-34s, 2 Panthers Vs 21 Shermans)
One small bit of revisionist history that annoys me is that they always refer to the enemies as 'nazis'. Back then most people would just refer to them as the Germans. It's the equivalent of never referring to the Japanese by their country and only calling them 'imperialists'; technically an accurate description but no one would ever have said that. Not on a regular basis anyway.
Im not actually sure this is true, I’ve read the diary of Roza Shanina, the sniper that killed tons of Nazis, and she constantly refers to them as Germans, Nazis, and fascists. While this is only one diary, that she does it constantly leads me to think it was common to refer to the German army by various names.
"I wish you guys had uniforms." Yeah... Having a hodgepodge of random outfits and weapons from basically every major theatre of the war is a fantastic way to have blue-on-blue fire. God this game is such dogshit...
Even having different weapons can cause friendly fire, just like the vietnam war where US soldier prefer use akm rather than m14, it ended with friendly fire caused by different noise created when firing .308 and 7,62×39
I like how Cod after Cod, the more they try to force you to like the characters, the more we don't care. Oh and i hate then saying "I HATE NAZIS." "NAZIS THIS, NAZIS THAT, LET'S KILL NAZI" it's so overused for absolutely nothing. Like, you're not going to get points for hating nazis. Just be like any civilian on war, there's a thousand soldiers outside, you HAVE to be scared for your life, not killing one with your knife and going to save your dad alone.
Oh grow up incel. You just didn't like that your favorite game just did a little fictional-- Ok you know what, I was going to make a joke statement on how the people who like these kinds of stories would reply to you if they read your comment, but I'm really frustrated just thinking about it to make a joke
Feels like 95% of production time was sunk on graphic design, which is very fucking good most of the time, but Activision has to realise that it isn't graphics that make FPS games unforgetable.
Design? Soviet soldiers' design is suck. They don't even know what a Soviet "pilotka" should look like. They think it's just a Soviet beanie. The faces of the NPS are terrible. Customization of weapons should only spoil it. The design of the German soldiers is terrible too - *Black* Gilly in the middle of *winter* with a lot of *white* snow
agreed, They need balance. There was a period when I refused to play COD because graphics became really bad like it stuck in early 2000s and now they did graph.s right and story bad.
I hated how for this campaign, we spent 99% of it learning the backstories of all the characters. (Those should need like one mission) And the other 1% was put to the actual story.
The problem was not the charge, no one was giving covering fire for those advancing. Which is basic squad tactics 101. Seriously that's why there's always an LMG gunner or two for every squad (2-3 for the US cause the BAR was terrible for the SAW role).
This scene felt like nothing more but a lazy mark on the “Epic scene where you charge to battle with tons of fellow soldiers” checkbox. They couldn’t even do it correctly. Heck, even Battlefield V did it better with its Tirailleur campaign.
It’s funny how The Last Tiger, a mission in Battlefield V that can be completed in under 2 hours, has a better story and characters than Call of Duty Vanguards campaign, that lasts around 5 - 7 hours.
I can very much disagree and I liked Wade and Polina as characters as it seemed like they grew from their experiences. The rest is eh like lucas and kingsley and I would have preferred a longer campaign that has more actual story missions than just jail the entire time but I really liked the campaign overall, I feel like most people here are just to hate when they don’t have the game, Battlefield V the last tiger is definitely a good mission but the characters felt a little washed out and the German loyalist guy was certainly my favorite thing about it.
@@ariezon Didn’t feel serious or have the right consistent tone, plus I feel it was too short for the characters to flesh out bit it was definitely good
The most blasphemous thing i heard from a panel about this game was that "CoD doesn't have any memorable characters so we made these people" I guess Cpt. Price and Ghost aren't memorable.
The graphics are amazing, it sucks that everything else is garbage. It's truly a shame that most of the fps games I think are good either have no campaign or are old outdated and clunky.
Play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. A shooter where the gameplay is still very tight and the graphics (while old) still hold up and are quite pretty
Fun fact: That tank you can see (11:31) is T-34-85, this tank was produced in 1943 but battle of Stalingrad start 8. 23. 1942 so thanks CoD Vanguard for time traveling tanks :)
Duck tape was invented in the late 1800's (cloth added to tape to make it stronger) but the current version was re-made in the 50s which is what it looks like they used to wrap their mags while tactical sprinting. Looks like duck tape can time travel as well as tanks can.
You could make a list of all those historical inaccuracies or stupid illogical flaws: Size of abovementioned tank is quite wrong Soviet soldiers having rolled up sleeves (it's a break of their military code, they would be chastised for that) Also soviet soldiers having a 1943 variant of uniform, ahead of time Some german soldiers in Stalingrad are having STG44 weapon (again ahead of time) or wearing italian paratroopers uniform for some reason Soviet civilian having sniper variant of mosin rifle (how the hell did he got the scope? And why? Simple rifle is more than enough for hunting) Germans completely ignoring the main character who's wearing soviet uniform as if she's just a civilian (12:45) Soviet buildings having surprisingly convenient brick placement for climbing The brother of soviet main character has been found unfit for conscription and that's why he's instructing soviet soldiers how to shoot while being a civilian (wut?) and so on and so forth
"Fighting Germans has turned me and my comrades into the monsters we hate." -COD World at War. "I care not for my humanity, for I R stronk Nord waman who doesn't know what compassion is, and wants to kill Nazis because racism bad." - COD Vanguard.
To be honest, the latter is a bit more realistic. I know of a Slovenian guy from Trst whose family got killed by the Germans and Italians in 1943. He rose through the ranks to become a captain and in 1945 executed Axis POWs. Never once did he express an ounce of remorse. Now we can all conclude he was wrong to do so, but placed in his boots would we honestly be different?
Sledgehammer: "We are going to make a historically accurate game" (because everyone forgot COD WW2 exists) *laughs in Jericho horns at 10 degree dives*
They could start making the aound at around 500km or 600km There was also reports of pilota being annoyed by them as they started to sound during a vruiser speed
Fun Fact: The devs in their free time was going to make a campaign where you play as a Nazi, but the devs weren't comfortable with it and made Zombies as an Easter egg mode in WaW and then fully released it.
Remember the Battle of Berlin in World at War? Yeah, Vanguard just completely skipped it. You had SS officers toasting to the "Fourth Reich" on April 30th, 1945 as if Berlin was completely untouched
the most inaccurate, is that SS was very fanatic of hitler, so how friesinger could said bad thing about hitler without others ss shoot at him, its very stoopid that game edit : ss arent only hitlers bodyguards, arent autonoms from the party like sa, the sa was reprimed by ss because they was too revolucionary, with nsbo they was in favour of social revolution after reaction (what they call national revolution) and ss are the conservator side of the party so they dont have any interest to make a revolution, for them the national revolution" is sufficient to the fascist project
You remember how in WaW fighting through Berlin compared to Stalingrad you really felt just how absolutly desprate the Germans were to fight and survive. How by the last two Russian missions the Germans felt much less like proud soildiers of the German war machine and more like Scared, wounded, starving men being absolutely slaughtered by an army that outnumbered them 10/1? How impactful it was clearing the rooms of the Riech Stag and seeing how more and more germans tried to surrender just for their lives? Where the actual hell was that here?! Yes, let's toast champagne to the Fourth Reich! Its not like Germany is in shambles and the Red army aren't taking prisoners and will shoot us on sight for just wearing these uniforms! I need my Big Bad Guy speech damnit!
At that point in the war, the nazi army was made up of pre-teens, old men, and women. It was called Volkssturm and was made up of anybody the nazis could find that could hold a gun. Imagine how gut-wrenching and dramatic it would be to play a level where you had to shoot women and children to progress through a level.
@@Guessnought there were basicly fanatical ss ans volksturm was left at 1945. Wehrmact was deserting or surrendering to allies. Imagine how bad it would be to shot elderly man,children and woman while also having to deal with fanatical maniacs with good military training killing these conscripted people aka ss.
@@The_GK1 yeah the old games did a good job, but yunno, medal of honor was released to "honor the fallen" but now its the most american ww2 film ever, but this time you can interact with it and its vr
I'd be interested in the series if they owned up to the inaccuracies, and made something like wolfenstein: the old blood. That's a game that managed to be wildly inaccurate, fun, and chilling at the right times. And it highlighted some of the less well known atrocities the nazi's committed.
If you want History read a book. Complaining about video games not being historically accurate is like complaining porn doesn’t teach sexual health accurately.
“The only time I feel something is when a German is begging for his life” is good, empowering, strong and most importantly edgy. “The only time I feel is when a Jew is begging for his life” is evil and heartbreaking (for the Jew)
@River Ton Because killing someone for no other reason than “they lived in the wrong country” or “wore the wrong uniform” is perfect justification for murder. Gtfo it wasn’t like she was killing SS members.
@@deletednet3919 That first line is probably the worst line in the game, super edgy, ruined the mood, as well as makes the character more dark and probably less than enjoyable to more people as it was also just there.
Having historically inaccurate attachments isn't really a problem but having it pop up in SINGLEPLAYER is such a confusing choice. They were perfectly capable of putting normal looking guns in past MWs.
There are plenty of pc ww2 games that at least have authenticity like right uniforms and guns depending on the country. So no having a samurai sword as a German soldier fighting the Russians etc. But no game is ever historically accurate. Which is something EA couldn't even do. Authenticity is actually doable unlike historical accuracy. Post Scriptum is an example of authenticity not accuracy where the battles maybe didn't play out like real life but you could only use certain weapons depending on country and even rank. So only a German of higher rank could use a mp40 or you had to be apart of a machinegun team to use the mg42 or 34 same goes for Americans only using American weapons. And yes gender is affected to as regular infantry was only men. so is Hell Let Loose which just introduced the eastern front of ww2 something dice didn't do for some dumb reason.
Yeah, in multiplayer I really don't care because let's face it, there isn't a lot of realism happening there in general. But in the single-player missions, which are presumably trying to replicate some kind of actual experience of WWII combat, it's just wildly anachronistic and dumb.
Man, I haven’t thought about Brothers in Arms in forever. As clunky as the game is I could play it over and over. The ability to command squads made it a truly unique FPS experience
@@luanjose1034 EA should open BF:H and BF4F again so they might get new kick into that old franchice even tho its already turned upside down, and dropped 10 times in the floor.
I love that COD can show a head completely blown off, but god forbid they add some entry wounds when you run up to the bearded guy who gets shot on the wall
Remember back at World at War(and even Black Ops 1) that when shooting a person either with an MG or an Shotgun made the limbs fly off in an explosion of blood and entrails? Good times were those
@@matheuskawata7841 You also played as factions in the multiplayer with different announcers. The Japanese announcer for instance would yell "YOUR TIME TO DIE FOR THE EMPORER IS NOW!" at the beginning of a round. Now in Vanguard, you play as "My Team" fighting the "Enemy Team".
"I shoot Nazis they die thats my plan" I think Polina is one of the worst characters ever in a videogame, before you call me sexist, look at Farah in Modern Warfare 2019 that's how you write a female protagonist. Polina is just a knock off Reznov with awful story writing and not being Reznov, if your whole point of being in the game is just to kill "Nazis" than win the war or a battle, then awful story writing. Vanguard itself is just a terrible game, who else thinks COD devs should stop making WW2 games? How do soldiers not even have uniforms, like Wade and Lucas who are they if they don't have a uniform identifying them.
@@BobGob99 uniform and polina as a character lemme explain. Polina as a character was built off the foundation of her wanting to fight and make a change for the war and felt like she never belonged in any other quarters and she kept clamoring to take a fight to the nazis and whenever it the moment came (due to the invasion of stalingrad) polina lost her final parent figure and could only see her memories tarnished for what the nazis have done to her and later lost everything. She became so distrought from these events that she becomes so sadistic that she visualizes slaying nazis and nothing else when the war is over. For the argument of uniforms its a team ranging over nationalities with very different backgrounds.
in world at war, you can tell who every faction is the marines are the generic green outfits with helmets, but their sleeves are rolled up the imperial japanese soldiers often wear shrubbery on themselves, around their body and on their helmets the russians wear a drab brown, most often with an out of place hat, like a ushanka and finally, the germans have the most variety of a very muted green, almost grey, attire, a more colorful camo variant, and a variety of helmets and hats to wear in vanguard, everyone looks the exact same. green military uniforms, or black leather pilot jackets
The saddest part is that if they took 20 seconds to read a history book, there are plenty of real events that they could make an action scene out of without completely disrespecting history. The weapon customisation whilst completely out of place is pretty much a requirement for the series now. I do wish they kspt it out of the singleplayer and relegated it just to multiplayer. Red Orchestra 2 showed how to have weapon customisation and realism in the same game.

@@sHr0oMaN not only that, but they keep rehashing the same battles with diversity characters shoehorned in for "the message." Why dont they show the horrors of leningrad, the desperate defense of sevastapol, the actual biggest tank battle in history at dubno-Brody, the battles of operation Cobra in the breakout from normandy, the battle of monte cassino and the landing at salerno and the absolute slog in Italy to break the gothic line and the gustav line, the british in operation compass in north africa, the battle for Crete, battles between the fins and the russians in the winter war, commando raids against the germans in France and Norway like the raid of operation Gunnerside or operation Chariot, or the raids of the long range desert group in Africa. There are so many insane battles that are being forgotton just so AAA titles can shoehorn in "the message" to overwrite reality. The WWII genre desperately needs a gritty and solemn game that acknowledges the smaller battles and the tactical defeats that paved the way for victory by slowly grinding down the momentum of the german war machine before it captured the oil and food it needed to continue. And shit, if they wanted to peddle diversity, show some of the battles the indian commonwealth troops fought in, jungle actions by the gurkahs, the distinguished actions of Japanese american and african american units in the european theatre, particularly in Italy. Show how the white officers were in charge and often inept and how they still prevailed despite that. This watered down fake shit spits on the actual achievements of those minority groups whose stories are passed up. And why dont we see any russian campaigns where they fight the romanians or the austrians? They were there too! Where are the italian soldiers? Its been over a decade since a major title has shown soldiers from other axis countries besides japan or germany. Where is the representation for the free polish, free french, and Canadian soldiers that kicked ass with the commonwealth? What about the Filipino militias that helped retake the Philippines?Too many missed great opportunities to believe they actually give a shit about history anymore.
@@kennethhill4623 Yes, you said it all. To this point, these aren't games anymore. People should stop caring about graphics when everything else insults them. But people seems to be needy, because they fucking can't say no to these shit games that go against their morals. When somebody is trying to convey political messages onto you more than caring about the vector being used to do it, you say no and give the back.

12:34 My Great grandmother was that lucky. Her and her family were from a German colony in Hungary. In '44, they had to flee from the Russians. She was 14. Long story short, her family evaded the Russians, but one night, while they were sleeping in a barn, there was a battle raging on in the distance, between the Americans, and the Germans. Almost like the princess and the pea, she had a hard time sleeping at night. Turns out, in the morning, she discovered a stray, live mortar shell, that had crashed through a barn window, and got nestled in the hay bale she was sleeping on. After surrendering it to the mayor, it was determined, that had that shell gone off, it would have literally vaporized the entire barn, with her family in it.
We used to love CoD characters 10 years ago. Price, Soap, Mason, Woods, Reznov… Their dialogue lines were super amazing and we all fell love. Nowadays CoD protagonists are useless guys which no one cares about.

@@chaosXP3RT they added a lot of modern stuff to the weapons that made it kinda weird. Not necessarily bad but I don’t think they were using foregrips and special sights in ww2 as standard.
Few people realize how good WWII optics really were. Even after finding them on the ground in the middle of a war zone, their anti dust anti scratch coating kept them perfectly clear, with better light transmission and less distortion than even the best multi-coated modern optics.

12:34 I actually got to meet a real WW2 vet who WAS that lucky. He was dug into a foxhole taking cover from a German mortar bombardment and a dud round landed right in front of his face. He said he probably would have shat himself...except he had dysentery so that had already happened anyway. Gotta love the glory of war. Cool guy, sadly he's probably passed away by now as this was about 8 years ago and he was in his 90s. EDIT: Turns out no, decided to look him up and found out he was still very much alive as of November 2021. Hope he's doing well.
"Luckily, I'd already contracted dysentery, so I didn't shit myself when a dud shell landed right in front of me." It's hard to think of a response to something like that. What these guys went through back then, Jeez.
@@TheByQQ Don't need the F quite yet, turns out. I went and looked up his name (Douglas J. Harvey, from the 84th infantry division) a while after I made that post to see if there was an obituary, and instead found an article in a local newspaper mentioning him attending a Veteran's Day event this past November. So he's presumably still kicking and apparently doing pretty well for almost being 100.
@@RJALEXANDER777 Yeah, I didn't really know how to respond to that. He was super matter-of-fact and laid back about it all though, even laughing a bit about the dysentery and how he didn't mind it that much since it got him transferred off the front lines for a bit a couple days later.
I may not be a military strategist, But even I know that charging a heavy MG emplacement with no armor support, no artillery support, nor even smoke cover is a very stupid idea....
It wasnt used during WW2 is a main tactic and especially not by british paratroopers. Britain had some hard learned leasons during ww1 and while they werent entirely up to date during ww2, they werent dumb enough to storm a fortified position.

"Alternative History?" Hey Activision, you spelled "We're too goddamned lazy to do any sort of research into WWII when we can just make shit up based on half-remembered movies from Hollywood's own glut of WWII content a decade ago" wrong.
Or if they wanted alternative history why not resort to wolfenstein-like thing? (obviously avoiding plagizarism) like nazis with experimental ballistic armors, weapons and vehicles (the many concepts they tried to use irl life but ended in paper or only a few were fabricated), instead of using real battles why not just make fictional settings, seems activision even for make "alternative history" they're good damn lazy
@@Reposterkkkk Wolfenstein has a huge and well-thought out lore behind its history. The complaint isn't that it's alternative. The complaint is that it's lazy. It only calls itself alternative history so that it has an excuse to give people grenade launchers and other shit because they're too lazy to figure out some other aspect of the war to explore.
All we want is a consistent game. Consistent uniforms, consistent characters consistent weapons in line with history and reality. We don't want to watch cutscenes we want to play them. Our way. Of course we want to do cool things but they need to be within the realm of possibility. Not just one man commando killing machines. We want large scale battles, story's about our call to duty.
I really thought Battlefield 1’s opening mission was so impactful for this reason. The way they characterized each death as a different soldier was really neat, and honestly the only way I’d want to see CoD do a World War styled campaign. The “invincible commando” trope just feels really dull now for a setting like this.
@@funkguylorz7315 Honestly, it's a shame the rest of battlefield 1 was just that The intro was honestly amazing, hyped me up for the rest of the game, then it was just "me and my brother were the strongest Italians ever, we wore armor and shot big guns" or "yea.. I've read a book or two about planes * flies better than any of the pilots in the airforce *" I'm pretty sure they even had the black guy from the intro who had a standoff with a guy only to see the human in him and put his gun down have a one man army campaign
Multiplayer is clearly the main focus of call of duty, considering 90% of players exclusively play multiplayer and don't even play these half ass campaigns that are never good and have never been the focus, maybe cod 3 had a good campaign but that's before the multiplayer revolution
@@icehoof but it wasn’t tho? Remember how the rest of the war stories are completed, the main character of each uses their fellow soldiers to reach glory, the Italian uses an armored suit and skirmishes with the last forces to the castle, the Arabic woman skirmishes the train with their fellow oppressed villagers and at the beginning Laurence of Arabia (the most historically accurate here) helped her before she was captured, the tank story was about the whole tank crew working together, not just Edward, and the ace shows how reckless he is by getting his partner in trouble several times until his luck runs out, don’t discredit an element just because it’s not “100% realistic”
@@thelegalmexican9860 that is a good point, while I would like to argue toward my point more, I don't really remember enough of the story to do that, I kind of want to watch it or just play it again since I've been talking about how much I miss BF1 since me and my friends have started playing 2042
There was an editing mistake around 8:38, I always rewatch my videos, Idk what the happened there, whoops. I tried to trim it a bit with the youtube editor but if it still looks jank thats why.

@@joescannoli7660 I remember Homefront from 2011 where they said "I thought I smelled Korean barbecue."
The difference is that in Wolfenstein you are shooting actual nazies, while in this game they're calling the Wermacht "Nazies", while in reality they were just German soldiers forced into war without any choice, either fight or be killed for being a deserter. Many young and innocent German children were killed brutally in WW2 too. I don't think it's fair to demonize the Wermacht and all the German people during that period, so all video games and movies who do that are garbage imo. In Wolfenstein, you kill actual Nazies who look like SS soldiers. These were actually Nazies and the ones voluntarily signing to commit genocidal atrocities. So in Wolfenstein it's understandable. But in this game, that line was just cringe. The German soldiers were the same as the Russian and American soldiers. You had no choice back then. If you're a healthy man of fighting age, you had to fight in WW2. Otherwise you either get jailed for being a traitor (the US) or straight up executed (Russia and Germany).
10:58 The game makes you evade the bombardment by running backwards along the firing line. That would actually only keep you in the firing line longer, it's stupidity.
I thought that too. That's why they teach you to hunker down instead of running away.
I think that’s the point, if you run the correct direction no more shooty shoots and explody booms for maximum cinematics
Obviously it makes no sense, but if it looks cool, then that’s what counts for these devs.
Also, adding the fact that Polina climbed in the ROOFTOPS to escape. Too strong of a woman to cover herself from the fire I guess
i like how in this game the germans do awful things and you think "thats awful" and then the main characters do iterally the same thing and the game applauds it

Then he saw his squad leader and squad-mates with 18 round cut-down barrel M1 Grands slaughter captured allied paratroopers. Learning the errors in his ways, he took his helmet off and killed his own comrades with a suppressed incendiary shotgun, safely meeting with an American-British special operations force armed with MP-40s, still with his German uniform on, and got his assignment to assassinate Hitler and his top generals before they escape to Japan and nuke Russia.

But when the bomb impacted on the ground ther was the posibility that this bomb would dive in the soft gruond and in the moving in the ground in a circul shaped move the bomb would would be ther up side to downside that the acid time detonator will not funktion and that is one of the most reasons that bombs after all these years wont detonate and thers a problem to that in the ground bomb could move under the fundaments of an pre war building. This cases often happend that wehn buildungs wher break down from the impireal age under the basment ther ware ww2 bombs and often ther where deadly acidents and many worker got killed.

It's amazing how World War II, with all its political complexity has been reduced to a comic book story with the band of diverse plucky heroes facing off against the one dimensional bad guy who is evil for the sake of evil.
Of course it makes sense that the Soviets and the Allies would run some sort of joint OSS op or whatever. Nevermind that the Western Allies and Soviet Union deeply distrusted one another and often times covertly worked against each other.
i feel like the only reason cod keeps picking WW2 for its stories is because it’s got a much more clear-cut “good” and “bad” side, one side was doing genocide and the other was stopping them (im being very reductive by this, i know, but you get what i mean). i would love to see a cod game set in the Vietnam War, or one of the many conflicts in Africa, or perhaps the Chechen Wars. but of course, these conflicts don’t have a faction that you can point at and say “the world would be objectively worse if these guys won”, unlike WW2. WW2 has been done to death, there is nowhere left to take this conflict in videogames. but hey, gotta have that mass appeal
@@beedubree2550 I actually hoped someone made a WW2 game from Germany's POV. Not the ideology ofc, but there's actually several good stories that would be perfect for games/movies (example like 1 Tiger Vs 50 T-34s, 2 Panthers Vs 21 Shermans)

One small bit of revisionist history that annoys me is that they always refer to the enemies as 'nazis'. Back then most people would just refer to them as the Germans. It's the equivalent of never referring to the Japanese by their country and only calling them 'imperialists'; technically an accurate description but no one would ever have said that. Not on a regular basis anyway.
Right. They were just German military. Nazis where members of the political party like the SS and such
Im not actually sure this is true, I’ve read the diary of Roza Shanina, the sniper that killed tons of Nazis, and she constantly refers to them as Germans, Nazis, and fascists. While this is only one diary, that she does it constantly leads me to think it was common to refer to the German army by various names.

Feels like 95% of production time was sunk on graphic design, which is very fucking good most of the time, but Activision has to realise that it isn't graphics that make FPS games unforgetable.

agreed, They need balance. There was a period when I refused to play COD because graphics became really bad like it stuck in early 2000s and now they did graph.s right and story bad.
I hated how for this campaign, we spent 99% of it learning the backstories of all the characters. (Those should need like one mission) And the other 1% was put to the actual story.
7:18 Somehow being able to order a platoons worth of men into a fucking meatgrinder is the best moment of the game
Just like WW1 all over again
Ordering a group of men to charge towards a meatgrinder only to get mowed down lmfao,Activision my ass
I remember playing it and being like "why tf would I do this" as I gave the order
The problem was not the charge, no one was giving covering fire for those advancing. Which is basic squad tactics 101.
Seriously that's why there's always an LMG gunner or two for every squad (2-3 for the US cause the BAR was terrible for the SAW role).
This scene felt like nothing more but a lazy mark on the “Epic scene where you charge to battle with tons of fellow soldiers” checkbox. They couldn’t even do it correctly. Heck, even Battlefield V did it better with its Tirailleur campaign.

It’s funny how The Last Tiger, a mission in Battlefield V that can be completed in under 2 hours, has a better story and characters than Call of Duty Vanguards campaign, that lasts around 5 - 7 hours.
I can very much disagree and I liked Wade and Polina as characters as it seemed like they grew from their experiences. The rest is eh like lucas and kingsley and I would have preferred a longer campaign that has more actual story missions than just jail the entire time but I really liked the campaign overall, I feel like most people here are just to hate when they don’t have the game, Battlefield V the last tiger is definitely a good mission but the characters felt a little washed out and the German loyalist guy was certainly my favorite thing about it.

Ah yes, a WW2 stun grenade. Very cool. Truly the WW2 CoD of all times.
technically a thing
Fun fact: That tank you can see (11:31) is T-34-85, this tank was produced in 1943 but battle of Stalingrad start 8. 23. 1942 so thanks CoD Vanguard for time traveling tanks :)
I also noticed that. They dont give a fuck.
Duck tape was invented in the late 1800's (cloth added to tape to make it stronger) but the current version was re-made in the 50s which is what it looks like they used to wrap their mags while tactical sprinting. Looks like duck tape can time travel as well as tanks can.
Also the German flashbang. In reality they would've just thrown in a Stielhandgranate.
isnt this the normal t-34 variant? Pretty sure the 85 has an antenna. Or it has and I am blind
You could make a list of all those historical inaccuracies or stupid illogical flaws:
Size of abovementioned tank is quite wrong
Soviet soldiers having rolled up sleeves (it's a break of their military code, they would be chastised for that)
Also soviet soldiers having a 1943 variant of uniform, ahead of time
Some german soldiers in Stalingrad are having STG44 weapon (again ahead of time) or wearing italian paratroopers uniform for some reason
Soviet civilian having sniper variant of mosin rifle (how the hell did he got the scope? And why? Simple rifle is more than enough for hunting)
Germans completely ignoring the main character who's wearing soviet uniform as if she's just a civilian (12:45)
Soviet buildings having surprisingly convenient brick placement for climbing
The brother of soviet main character has been found unfit for conscription and that's why he's instructing soviet soldiers how to shoot while being a civilian (wut?)

To be honest, the latter is a bit more realistic. I know of a Slovenian guy from Trst whose family got killed by the Germans and Italians in 1943.

the most inaccurate, is that SS was very fanatic of hitler, so how friesinger could said bad thing about hitler without others ss shoot at him, its very stoopid that game
edit : ss arent only hitlers bodyguards, arent autonoms from the party like sa, the sa was reprimed by ss because they was too revolucionary, with nsbo they was in favour of social revolution after reaction (what they call national revolution) and ss are the conservator side of the party so they dont have any interest to make a revolution, for them the national revolution" is sufficient to the fascist project
You remember how in WaW fighting through Berlin compared to Stalingrad you really felt just how absolutly desprate the Germans were to fight and survive. How by the last two Russian missions the Germans felt much less like proud soildiers of the German war machine and more like Scared, wounded, starving men being absolutely slaughtered by an army that outnumbered them 10/1? How impactful it was clearing the rooms of the Riech Stag and seeing how more and more germans tried to surrender just for their lives?
Where the actual hell was that here?! Yes, let's toast champagne to the Fourth Reich! Its not like Germany is in shambles and the Red army aren't taking prisoners and will shoot us on sight for just wearing these uniforms! I need my Big Bad Guy speech damnit!
At that point in the war, the nazi army was made up of pre-teens,
old men, and women. It was called Volkssturm and was made up of anybody the nazis could find that could hold a gun. Imagine how gut-wrenching and dramatic it would be to play a level where you had to shoot women and children to progress through a level.
@@Guessnought there were basicly fanatical ss ans volksturm was left at 1945. Wehrmact was deserting or surrendering to allies.

@@felautumn9534 its called a video game not a documentary
There are plenty of pc ww2 games that at least have authenticity like right uniforms and guns depending on the country. So no having a samurai sword as a German soldier fighting the Russians etc. But no game is ever historically accurate. Which is something EA couldn't even do. Authenticity is actually doable unlike historical accuracy. Post Scriptum is an example of authenticity not accuracy where the battles maybe didn't play out like real life but you could only use certain weapons depending on country and even rank. So only a German of higher rank could use a mp40 or you had to be apart of a machinegun team to use the mg42 or 34 same goes for Americans only using American weapons. And yes gender is affected to as regular infantry was only men. so is Hell Let Loose which just introduced the eastern front of ww2 something dice didn't do for some dumb reason.
Yeah, in multiplayer I really don't care because let's face it, there isn't a lot of realism happening there in general. But in the single-player missions, which are presumably trying to replicate some kind of actual experience of WWII combat, it's just wildly anachronistic and dumb.

in world at war, you can tell who every faction is
the marines are the generic green outfits with helmets, but their sleeves are rolled up
the imperial japanese soldiers often wear shrubbery on themselves, around their body and on their helmets
the russians wear a drab brown, most often with an out of place hat, like a ushanka
and finally, the germans have the most variety of a very muted green, almost grey, attire, a more colorful camo variant, and a variety of helmets and hats to wear
in vanguard, everyone looks the exact same. green military uniforms, or black leather pilot jackets
The saddest part is that if they took 20 seconds to read a history book, there are plenty of real events that they could make an action scene out of without completely disrespecting history.
The weapon customisation whilst completely out of place is pretty much a requirement for the series now. I do wish they kspt it out of the singleplayer and relegated it just to multiplayer.

There are so many insane battles that are being forgotton just so AAA titles can shoehorn in "the message" to overwrite reality.

My Great grandmother was that lucky. Her and her family were from a German colony in Hungary. In '44, they had to flee from the Russians. She was 14. Long story short, her family evaded the Russians, but one night, while they were sleeping in a barn, there was a battle raging on in the distance, between the Americans, and the Germans. Almost like the princess and the pea, she had a hard time sleeping at night. Turns out, in the morning, she discovered a stray, live mortar shell, that had crashed through a barn window, and got nestled in the hay bale she was sleeping on. After surrendering it to the mayor, it was determined, that had that shell gone off, it would have literally vaporized the entire barn, with her family in it.

@@chaosXP3RT they added a lot of modern stuff to the weapons that made it kinda weird. Not necessarily bad but I don’t think they were using foregrips and special sights in ww2 as standard.

Tactical refund pro.
Cod ww2 was tons better than this BS.
Few people realize how good WWII optics really were. Even after finding them on the ground in the middle of a war zone, their anti dust anti scratch coating kept them perfectly clear, with better light transmission and less distortion than even the best multi-coated modern optics. Its a shame how far we've regressed.
Meanwhile, in FarCry 2

This game is a insult to anyone who participated and was affected by WW2.
how's the saying go 'the young have no respect for the fallen'?
@@tylerhansen1892 it's not inaccurate. My grandfathers and their generation fought in this war. They'd be embarrassed to see this is how we remember it.
anyone who participated and was affected by WW2 isn’t playing CoD so lmao
Even for germans. Cod WW2 showed at least some good germans like Oberst Karl Fischer or troops who are so fed up with the war they surrender on the battlefield. And yet, here we are again with pure nazis who are either dumb cannonfodder or megalomanic sadistic cliche villains...
I know, those Times where cruel, and nazi germany commited atrocities beyond anything before or after, and the myth of the clean wehrmacht is bs, but most of our soldiers where humans too(except those SS maniacs), so is it to much to ask for a little justice on the portrayal...

"Careful, he likes chairs" I'm dead, I spit coffee all over my screen. Thanks
This videos historical accuracy reminds me of the time I learned about the Roman empires tanks rolling over the fields of China and claiming Tokyo as its furthest western province.
Yeah and the American civil war where Germany invaded mexico and took Washington D.C the capital of france
And then Saladin won with his scientific victory
Me and my niggas wuz fighting the german SS on the ho chi mihn trail, after days at Everest base camp, we hiked up. Killing commie nazis all the way up the mountain until we got to the Mekong delta and managed to get water for Saddam Husseins camels
Don’t you hate it when the Roman Empires tanks rolling you over when you are just playing WaW at home
It reminds of that time when I was watching youtube and then some random Spartan tank appeared out of nowhere
12:34 I actually got to meet a real WW2 vet who WAS that lucky. He was dug into a foxhole taking cover from a German mortar bombardment and a dud round landed right in front of his face.
He said he probably would have shat himself...except he had dysentery so that had already happened anyway. Gotta love the glory of war.
Cool guy, sadly he's probably passed away by now as this was about 8 years ago and he was in his 90s.
EDIT: Turns out no, decided to look him up and found out he was still very much alive as of November 2021. Hope he's doing well.
:(

"Luckily, I'd already contracted dysentery, so I didn't shit myself when a dud shell landed right in front of me." It's hard to think of a response to something like that. What these guys went through back then, Jeez.
@@TheByQQ Don't need the F quite yet, turns out. I went and looked up his name (Douglas J. Harvey, from the 84th infantry division) a while after I made that post to see if there was an obituary, and instead found an article in a local newspaper mentioning him attending a Veteran's Day event this past November. So he's presumably still kicking and apparently doing pretty well for almost being 100.
@@RJALEXANDER777 Yeah, I didn't really know how to respond to that. He was super matter-of-fact and laid back about it all though, even laughing a bit about the dysentery and how he didn't mind it that much since it got him transferred off the front lines for a bit a couple days later.
I may not be a military strategist,
But even I know that charging a heavy MG emplacement with no armor support, no artillery support, nor even smoke cover is a very stupid idea....
Military strategists in 1915 thought it was a brilliant idea
@@Beamboy555 Until they had to explain how they lost +100,000 soldier in less than an hour...
@@blaster829 they tried the same tactic again and again and again. It wasn’t until Haig got his hands on tanks that warfare was changed forever.
It wasnt used during WW2 is a main tactic and especially not by british paratroopers. Britain had some hard learned leasons during ww1 and while they werent entirely up to date during ww2, they werent dumb enough to storm a fortified position.
After seeing MW 3 campaing vanguard is not so bad...
7:40 Those fucking DATED tactics. Just run at the heavily defended outpost. These guys dont remember the last war.
What last war? BF1 is not in the COD universe hahahha
Hell atleast in WW1 they bombarded the enemy trench with artillery first.
@@Sorry_2026 of course i do, i was just joking at the fact that the call of duty series never had a ww1 game setting

3:10 Fun fact: The British didn't have a reserve parachute because it was to expensive for the army

"Alternative History?" Hey Activision, you spelled "We're too goddamned lazy to do any sort of research into WWII when we can just make shit up based on half-remembered movies from Hollywood's own glut of WWII content a decade ago" wrong.
They could’ve also made the game way cooler being alternate history but nah the fourth reich is boring and does nothing different
Incompetence would be at least acceptable if they didn't also try to push some agendas over it
Or if they wanted alternative history why not resort to wolfenstein-like thing? (obviously avoiding plagizarism) like nazis with experimental ballistic armors, weapons and vehicles (the many concepts they tried to use irl life but ended in paper or only a few were fabricated), instead of using real battles why not just make fictional settings, seems activision even for make "alternative history" they're good damn lazy
wolfenstein is alternative and nobody conplains
@@Reposterkkkk Wolfenstein has a huge and well-thought out lore behind its history. The complaint isn't that it's alternative. The complaint is that it's lazy. It only calls itself alternative history so that it has an excuse to give people grenade launchers and other shit because they're too lazy to figure out some other aspect of the war to explore.
4:46 i just realized that mp40 has a 64 round drum magazine
All we want is a consistent game. Consistent uniforms, consistent characters consistent weapons in line with history and reality. We don't want to watch cutscenes we want to play them. Our way. Of course we want to do cool things but they need to be within the realm of possibility. Not just one man commando killing machines. We want large scale battles, story's about our call to duty.
I really thought Battlefield 1’s opening mission was so impactful for this reason. The way they characterized each death as a different soldier was really neat, and honestly the only way I’d want to see CoD do a World War styled campaign. The “invincible commando” trope just feels really dull now for a setting like this.
@@funkguylorz7315
Honestly, it's a shame the rest of battlefield 1 was just that
The intro was honestly amazing, hyped me up for the rest of the game, then it was just "me and my brother were the strongest Italians ever, we wore armor and shot big guns" or "yea.. I've read a book or two about planes * flies better than any of the pilots in the airforce *"
I'm pretty sure they even had the black guy from the intro who had a standoff with a guy only to see the human in him and put his gun down have a one man army campaign
Multiplayer is clearly the main focus of call of duty, considering 90% of players exclusively play multiplayer and don't even play these half ass campaigns that are never good and have never been the focus, maybe cod 3 had a good campaign but that's before the multiplayer revolution
@@icehoof but it wasn’t tho? Remember how the rest of the war stories are completed, the main character of each uses their fellow soldiers to reach glory, the Italian uses an armored suit and skirmishes with the last forces to the castle, the Arabic woman skirmishes the train with their fellow oppressed villagers and at the beginning Laurence of Arabia (the most historically accurate here) helped her before she was captured, the tank story was about the whole tank crew working together, not just Edward, and the ace shows how reckless he is by getting his partner in trouble several times until his luck runs out, don’t discredit an element just because it’s not “100% realistic”
@@thelegalmexican9860 that is a good point, while I would like to argue toward my point more, I don't really remember enough of the story to do that, I kind of want to watch it or just play it again since I've been talking about how much I miss BF1 since me and my friends have started playing 2042
