hell it would make for an interesting global spectacle. just turn the Sahara desert into the world's largest combat arena and fill it up with remote controlled biomechanical androids controlled by video gamers.
uhh reviews with more swearing than this were not censored it's the ww3 thing you know how some people are anything edgier than a football causes them to cack their pants
@@lrmclinn On the one hand, this review came out on the Escapist site several months _before_ 50 Shades spooged out. On the other hand, if you slow down the video and pay attention, Lewis, Yahtzee didn't say anything about Twilight fanfiction.
I remember playing this when my brother got a fresh copy due to his then-undying love for the series. I dropped it after about 45 minutes through the campaign because it really was just a stream of white noise with no quiet time, absolutely no sense of pacing whatsoever. It ended up being more grueling than engaging by a wide margin.
+Baz 1920x1080 "ungrateful" they have a right to be considering that Western powers have had a history of taking over their lands and imposing their rules and ways among them in usually less than peaceful ways. Just look at Iran. America and Britain deposed a democratically elected leader to install a monarch that was more sympathetic to the British so that the British didn't lose control of the oil fields in Iran that were rightly Iranian. You could also point to the British promise of an Arabian state in the Middle East, but instead, divided the land between themselves and the French. There are many more stories like that.
TheKeyser94 You must hang out in the deep South a lot, because that is the only area that I can think of that would harbor such ignorance. The Midwest maybe.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!! I really like Yahtzee, and I find his sense of humor to be spectacular even when I don't necessarily agree with some of his opinions, but his incredibly rapid-fire delivery of speaking faster than a minigun on steroids, made it really hard for me to watch his videos, since english is a second language to me, and mentally trying to keep up was exhausting. I didn't even know you could slow down vids in youtube, but now that I know its possible, I'm wathching all of his future vids slowed down.
"there are many moments where I just want to yell 'Time out' and demand someone explain what the fuck's going on before another thing explodes". A little harsh for COD: BO, but perfectly describes my view of the Dunkirk movie.
I actually enjoyed the single player story and was happy it was somewhat creative, though I'm not saying this is phenomenal I will say I do not regret the purchase.
The problem with america is... we DESPERATELY want to be the hero again. The hero addiction kinda started back in WW1 when we came in and saved the allies though truth be told we barely did anything. Even though we needed a little nudge we were ready to save Europe again(?) when WW2 came around and after the war we saw an enemy in those "evil" communists. Now with the USSR gone we don't have any enemy to fight so we've a little stir crazy... we need a hobby...
I could be your new enemy. Granted, I`m not very intimidating and most of my malice would come in the form of giving the border guards the finger from inside my coat pocket and a passive aggressive comment on an American political blog but what do you want, I`m Canadian.
+Boyd Jefferson Thanks but no thanks. We here in america find canadians non-threatening for some reason. Mainly due to there never really being any issues between our nations. The border between the US and Canada is one of the most unguarded in the world. They may have up security in recent years but not by much...
The only part of this game that even makes me recommend it is the ending twist. Simply that moment made me replay the game just to see it in a whole new perspective.
You know what an interesting game would be? A game where you play as a Nazi soldier fighting Americans, and the general idea of the story is that the soldiers themselves aren't the bad guys, the people in charge are. We always hold the Nazis as a whole as evil, but very few people had any choice.
Raysiclove You should play Spec Ops: The Line. It may seem like an ordinary gung-ho military shooter at first, but trust me, you won't feel like a hero.
Are you nuts? Do you think that the gaming industry has imaginative people, or that america would like to work as a Nazi No. America just wants to rape people without being charged for it
Dionisie Tarlev First off, Hideo Kojima is one of the most imaginative people who ever lived, second, I'm an American who thinks it's a great idea, and three, you're wrong.
Why is this age restricted? It doesn't have ANYTHING in it that can't be found somewhere else uncensored. I guess it's because it criticizes america...
Same there isn't a game series where the US invade multiple different countries, oh wait they do that repeatedly already. Not much of a difference then
***** "Never use a yoyo simile when you can use a fetus hanging forlornly from it's umbilical cord." No age restriction on that one, or the many others that are just as crass.
What I love most about this review is that of all Yahtz's vulgar ramblings this is the one that made some pillar of the community clutch their pearls and nag TH-cam into slapping a content warning on it, presumably before ejaculating into an American flag while howling that godawful Lee Greenwood song.
-.- first one I've watched so far (and this is about the 178th or so) that came up with a community guideline warning... I believe that you have outdone yourself XD
“Come on, Russia. World War III. Let’s do it.” Date: July 9, 2023 When Russia has once again built up fears of World War III over the course of their war with Ukraine. That line in this video hits way different now.
CoD stopped being original after Modern Warfare 1. Spec Ops showed us that it and Battlefield were both power fantasies without any real power or freedom, so why keep making them? And no, multiplayer isn't an excuse.
+Mr. Realist and yet most people I know tend to hate the whole "MURICA, RAH RAH" attitude. It's fine on July 4th or once in a while, but...kinda feels like I'm in a room full of frat boys crushing beer cans on their heads whenever a new CoD or some other by the numbers FPS comes out.
Ive watched so many zp episodes but this one has never shown up on my reccomendations... Until now. Why was i never suggested this great video to watch??
Fuck. He just had to mention the Inspector Gadget Theme. I haven't watched that cartoon for seven years, and he mentions it. Now, I can instantly recall it. Fuck.
You know Ben I'm an American that is not the biggest fan of my country. BUT ARE WE TRUELY THAT BAD...... Wait nevermind we are... that's why I whole heartily speak with an English accent and pretend to not be from here
There's a difference between something that happened a few days ago and something that has happened years ago and that people still treat like a tabu. And yes, it's only death, it happens all the time. Rather than cry about it, just laugh and be glad that you could spend some time with your loved ones.
I think that CODBLOPS 1 was the last good shooty-mcbangbang game before they started going to shit. Still, I had to play it through about 4 times and read 37 books about the Bay of Pigs invasion before I understood the story completely...
Not to mention, Nuclear weapons were, in large part designed by Germany (Fission as a weapon was helped in large part by a German named Albert Einstein and the delivery system was based off designs by German Wehrner Von Braun) so that isn't really something US could claim, even if you wanted to make a case that Nuclear Power, as a positive, was spun off from it.
i know black ops seems like just mindless shooty action, but there actually is a very good secret underling backstory connecting the "zombies" story to that of the campaign. the more you look, the more it will suck you in
"So come on Russia, take the hint. World War III lets do it." damn it.
And yet again Yahtzee has proven his clairvoyance. First it was Nintendo and hole punch, now it's international foreign policy. Gahwd Bless.
Wrong country
Wtf am I trying to say here?
That scenario he suggested at the end would, itself, make a very interesting setting for a video game.
Rabbit Cube if you make it, don't let Yahtzee see it, he'll probably kill it
Rabbit Cube maybe it's already been made with spli/second. (look up his review)
And to a smaller extent, Street Fighter
hell it would make for an interesting global spectacle. just turn the Sahara desert into the world's largest combat arena and fill it up with remote controlled biomechanical androids controlled by video gamers.
...sorry, I'm just getting flashbacks to G Gundam
This has aged phenomenally
Indeed friend. INDEED
If only you really knew...
Also it aged into becoming age-restricted.
@@Marci124 Yes isn't it great that freedom of speech isn't allowed anymore unless You're over 18-21? smh
I wondered why this, of all Zero Punctuation videos was age-restricted.
Then I saw it.
What?
Pro WW3 attitude, even if it is sarcastic.
uhh reviews with more swearing than this were not censored it's the ww3 thing you know how some people are anything edgier than a football causes them to cack their pants
Penningtontj Nope, there are far worse slurs in unrestricted videos.
Rangaman I think it was because of the "can someone please invade america already" some people would take offense to that.
This is the only Yahtzee video that's age restricted and it's the best one.
John Miller Anyone know why? He's always talking about sex stuff
not anyone
Proof?
Sonya Blade's Booty of what?
boik That this is the only age-restricted Yahtzee video.
"Gabriel Stone
Dirk Action
John Fist."
I'm dead. Funniest shit in the whole video.
I say just have a giant , war-sized laser tag fight.
ah hell yeah dude
A massive LAN party
You mean infinite warfare?
And then blare Spiderbait's Black Betty like its that episode of Malcolm in the Middle
At least some robot MMA like in G Gundam.
"The only thing think black about these ops are the spent shell casings."
Damn. 😂😂😂
A weird girl making creepy fanfiction about Twilight. Holy shit Yahtzee predicted 50 shades of grey
+Lewis Weir And the Zombie Game Invasion
Madalin Grama But she didn't. So that horny woman wrote Twilight fan fiction.
Lewis Weir I mean tons of it already existed at the time, Shades of Grey was just the one that went mainstream later.
Enough of all these "holy shit, Yahtzee predicted _____" comments. You're like astrologers picking through the words of Nostradamus.
@@lrmclinn On the one hand, this review came out on the Escapist site several months _before_ 50 Shades spooged out.
On the other hand, if you slow down the video and pay attention, Lewis, Yahtzee didn't say anything about Twilight fanfiction.
"Cunty unheroic reasons" That's one way to describe trying to take over two major drug pipelines.
Zombies:
Probably the only reason I still give a shit about CoD.
BulletTheBadass You know, without context, that reasoning sounds pretty shallow when stated aloud lol like we need more zombies
I stopped caring about zombies after Advanced/Infinite Warfare
So...a shitty reason
Same
Great, now I'm never going to get the Inspector Gadget theme out of my head.
Gray Fox Nice try, but I never saw Duck Tales :)
Vault Dweller
No. I'm not falling for your trap haha
+Hades644 GO GADGET GO
With the context of 2022 this aged REALLY well
I remember playing this when my brother got a fresh copy due to his then-undying love for the series. I dropped it after about 45 minutes through the campaign because it really was just a stream of white noise with no quiet time, absolutely no sense of pacing whatsoever. It ended up being more grueling than engaging by a wide margin.
as an American, I can agree. We need a good war to remind people how horrifying war really is.
World at War did portray WW2 as pretty dark and gritty.
+Baz 1920x1080 "ungrateful" they have a right to be considering that Western powers have had a history of taking over their lands and imposing their rules and ways among them in usually less than peaceful ways.

TheKeyser94 There is only one group of people who could reasonably call themselves Americans.
TheKeyser94 Stereotype much?
TheKeyser94 You must hang out in the deep South a lot, because that is the only area that I can think of that would harbor such ignorance. The Midwest maybe.
Well this aged about as well as the milkshake I made and forgot about for two weeks.
I feel bad that he described me when he described the virgin girl writing fanfiction
Same but I'm a bi guy-
Well this video aged spectacularly.
The beginning of this video is truly a work of art like no other in the history of humanity.
"World War Three, Russia, Let's Do It"
Well. Here we are.
As a Hetalia fan, the opening bit for this video conjured up images in my head. Some funny, some odd, and some I've banished to my subconscious lol
This aged perfectly
As a swiss guy I would be happy to blow that whistle :)
Either be more realistic, Call of Duty, or get out and let Doom and its brothers out of the dungeon. We're calling you out!
Enter Medal of Honor: Yeah this new one. < actual name
ALL HAIL THE PROPHET
And now everyone is wanting another Black Ops 1/World at War. How times change.
To be fair even JFK was doing an absurd JFK impression
this review suddenly hits different..
In 2020 this one's kind of eerie
Yahtzee didn't bash CoD Zombies, the only thing I like about CoD.
I'm so happy.
Ah fuck, this one aged like milk.
The opening rant sends chills down my spine every time I see a military shooter...
This man is a hysterical genius and needs some kind of award for his reviews
I watched this at 2.0 the normal speed. After that I watched it again at 0.5 the normal speed. I had the time of my fucking life...
Yeah, more people should do this... I suggest trying his System Shock 2 video that way, it's my favorite one to do that on.
I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!
I really like Yahtzee, and I find his sense of humor to be spectacular even when I don't necessarily agree with some of his opinions, but his incredibly rapid-fire delivery of speaking faster than a minigun on steroids, made it really hard for me to watch his videos, since english is a second language to me, and mentally trying to keep up was exhausting.
I didn't even know you could slow down vids in youtube, but now that I know its possible, I'm wathching all of his future vids slowed down.
TroublingStatueVII He sounds so drunk
TroublingStatueVII At 1.5 speed, the theme song sounds like a grindcore song. Just imagine Yhatzee screaching over the guitars.
So it isn't just me having the Inspector Gadget theme in my head all the time.
"there are many moments where I just want to yell 'Time out' and demand someone explain what the fuck's going on before another thing explodes". A little harsh for COD: BO, but perfectly describes my view of the Dunkirk movie.

At least you've got drone strikes
+urtv1
but they're ridiculously expensive
Maybe some aliens could come down and invade the earth or something. At least that would break the monotony somewhat.
I could be your new enemy. Granted, I`m not very intimidating and most of my malice would come in the form of giving the border guards the finger from inside my coat pocket and a passive aggressive comment on an American political blog but what do you want, I`m Canadian.

The border between the US and Canada is one of the most unguarded in the world. They may have up security in recent years but not by much...
I like to interpret Yahtzee's move to the US as a "Fine, I'll do it myself then" response to his question at the start of this review.
Best episode of Hetalia ever.
We are just missing Italy going "PPPPAAAAASSSSTTTTAAAA"
I wondered why this, of all Zero Punctuation videos was age-restricted.
Then I saw it.
This aged like milk on a radiator
@Zack Smith Russia didn't just "Wanna get drunk it peace," it was getting prison-ripped and waiting until we'd forgiven them.
Well that beginning paragraph has aged well
DUDE!!! Switzerland would make the best Ref!!! XD
How in god's name did I miss this video, I thought for sure I watched all of the Zero Punctuations, how did I miss a COD review of all things!?
Maybe your immune system wanting to avoid getting near shit (the game, not the amazing review)
0:48
"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson
That’s not what that means
The first minute got me laughing so freakin hard
The only part of this game that even makes me recommend it is the ending twist. Simply that moment made me replay the game just to see it in a whole new perspective.
I must say the ending of this game is the most ´MURICA!!! thing i have ever seen....and its really fucking funny
You know what an interesting game would be? A game where you play as a Nazi soldier fighting Americans, and the general idea of the story is that the soldiers themselves aren't the bad guys, the people in charge are. We always hold the Nazis as a whole as evil, but very few people had any choice.
***** Fuck me... It's beautiful. You have some serious issues but I would play that game until it begged me to stop abusing it.
Raysiclove You should play Spec Ops: The Line. It may seem like an ordinary gung-ho military shooter at first, but trust me, you won't feel like a hero.
Asaclubs96 I love Spec Ops:The Line, and it's amazing.
It's also Apocalypse Now in game form.
Are you nuts?
Do you think that the gaming industry has imaginative people, or that america would like to work as a Nazi
No. America just wants to rape people without being charged for it

great... now i've got the inspector gadget theme in my head...
I don't know why it always makes me laugh the bit where he says beginning a third ww. Maybe cause it's true.
Well this aged like a carton of fine milk 0:45
Why is this age restricted? It doesn't have ANYTHING in it that can't be found somewhere else uncensored. I guess it's because it criticizes america...
I'm gonna take yur oil if you say that again!
Plenty of ZPs do that and don't get blocked.
I think it's because of the opening.
That has to be the most accurate minute of any video ever
I never thought I'd hear someone say a different studio were bigger jerks than Activision
I actually used Gabriel Stone in a book I'm writing. Thanks for the suggestion!
I stopped listening after 1:36 because the Inspector Gadget theme got stuck in my head...
The intro about the fat virgin *literally* described EL James writing 50 shades of gray.
Independence Day 2019, this review seems somewhat prolific...
Lol, that little bit that played in the end while the credits were rolling was a reference to the Torture scene in Reservoir Dogs.
Russia invading something?
Well, that was prophetic.
Same there isn't a game series where the US invade multiple different countries, oh wait they do that repeatedly already. Not much of a difference then
So long as its in winter
ayyyyy
Its 5 years later and I still have the Inspector Gadget theme in my head.
I'm curious why this video has an age restriction on it
+Brandon Fedie because an average COD fan is 7 y.o. political\history expert.
***** "Never use a yoyo simile when you can use a fetus hanging forlornly from it's umbilical cord."
No age restriction on that one, or the many others that are just as crass.
The thing I like about bf3 more than any cod game is that it has quiet moments where u can catch ur breath
Holy crap I laughed so hard at the end!
"this browser will self destruct in 5 seconds"
How did he know I was using Firefox!
Ok, who else immediately started singing Inspector Gadget in their head?
This shit is a riot can't stop laughing
What I love most about this review is that of all Yahtz's vulgar ramblings this is the one that made some pillar of the community clutch their pearls and nag TH-cam into slapping a content warning on it, presumably before ejaculating into an American flag while howling that godawful Lee Greenwood song.
Prescient, astute, and the only interesting thing I've ever heard anyone say about a COD game!
This one actually had an awesome story. It wasn't full of plot holes like MW2
yes
Bp Elliott Um, okay
+Bp Elliott what do you mean america can do "no wrong"
Bp Elliott never mind
I was just saying that America isn't always justified in its actions
Bp Elliott I was making a joke using sarcasm, its understandable because you cannot tell tone through the internet
00:44 - 00:54
Given how thinks are going at the moment, that feels relevant.
The United States really seems to be the center of attention these days despite what little we've been doing and how hound the country is.
not really, id say its on par with many other countries in terms of attention
Paul Dee And foreign affairs. I mean seriously, I feel like were the worst representation of the British Empire.
Omar Jalloh nah like i think if people put aside their differences were all basically the same
Paul Dee Hmmm..when you put it that way, yea.
He called China
-.- first one I've watched so far (and this is about the 178th or so) that came up with a community guideline warning... I believe that you have outdone yourself XD

Date: July 9, 2023

That line in this video hits way different now.
who flagged this.
And then set on fire.
And resurrected.
And had all this done to him/her again
All these people from years ago saying that this video aged well.
Man, they REALLY had no idea.
4:37
I thought this was the best cod campaign
He always makes me want to replay the first Modern Warfare.
YAHTZEE FOR WORLD PRESIDENT!!
Brandon Novac Like he'd agree to that
Yahtzee just had to tempt fate with that starter, didn't he?
CoD stopped being original after Modern Warfare 1. Spec Ops showed us that it and Battlefield were both power fantasies without any real power or freedom, so why keep making them? And no, multiplayer isn't an excuse.

If they keep getting sales, they'll keep making more.

Hey Russia, this was supposed to be a joke! You did not have to take it seriously and make Donald Trump president!
Only realised now, the final monologue is essentially the plot of Robot Jox
*cough cough* Ukraine *cough cough*

I'd say Yahtzee nailed the gameplay spirit pretty well ;DD
I would have to agree with you there, I just try to laugh when I can and ignore it when I can't.
i know black ops seems like just mindless shooty action, but there actually is a very good secret underling backstory connecting the "zombies" story to that of the campaign. the more you look, the more it will suck you in
I'll be honest, I was somewhat expecting the video to end with an explosion, because of the 'self-destruct' bit
