Shadow Company is hands down one of the best looking factions in Call of Duty's entire lineup and they are easily in my top spot! Their uniform design is among the best, I absolutely love the black and tan color combinations. They are perfect mixture of intimidation and professionalism. I really wish we got to see more of them in a canon campaign storyline though I do thoroughly appreciate them being carried over to COD Warzone as playable characters! Edited note: My favorite boys are back in town with MW 2022!
Ikr if was just watching this video in it bro it back memories of how I used to love looking at the shadow companies uniforms. They are my first favorite faction in COD and my second is The Ghosts faction.
Well if mw2 comes out this year we likely see shepherd again since he was mention in modern warfare so I say there chances too reappear are possible. I love there faction they are the best faction in my opinion
It's scripted so that the gameplay-action revolves around the player, not your allies getting all the kills. Kinda frustrating from a realism perspective but understandable from a shooter game development standpoint.
I love how Shadow Company PMC has more well armed and equipped invidividual soldiers than the US Army. Shephard really made good use of that Blank Check the US Government gave him.
@@S.E.S.SoldierOfDemocracy i mean shadow company is extremely secretive, so it fits a lot of sf vets, a regular soldier wouldnt really fit in something like shadow comp.
@@חגיגוזלן-ט7ד they wear American flags on their arms, all speak fluent English, and all have American accents and use American made weapons. Safe to assume they are an American group of mercenaries from American ex special forces.
Not to mention that the game and those scenes were made back in the 2008-2009 so... yeah now ee pretend to have perfect and realistic combat scenes ...not games full of bugs and crashes...
That's typical early CoD AI for ya. It was so much better than the shit we have today. Did you also know that they fire semi-auto when firing near friendlies too?
@@The_GK1 they probably do that for gameplay purposes... so if there's multiple enemies in front of you they won't just mow you down in less than a second if everyone fired full auto
2:29: "I'm being mauled by two dogs, can you help me man?" "Sorry dude, you're on your own. I have to spray bullets at enemies that may or may not be there in the first place!"
Shadow Company are PMC, those companies purchase civilian vehicles and upgrade them with armour and reinforced windows (if possible), they are legal companies operating within the regulations of the US, the troops are ex military. Makrovs men purchase surplus used military vehicles. Its realistic if you understand the factions
Let's be honest. If CoD gets it's own movie/TV series, that's what I wanna see when shots are fired. And once again, good job mate. Content like this deserves more than just "thank you" notes, but it's the least I can do.
I feel like if they ever wanna make a COD MW movie/tv series they should just go all out on the action movie style or realism not mixing both like what MW2 did
This just goes to show how out of tune Activision is with its community, this shows that the fans would love an ultimate Call of Duty type of game. Honestly, we've recently started playing Call of Duty Mobile and it was fun but also addicting. The fact that it was a Call of Duty with maps and weapons from across all Call of Duty's, I honestly think its the way they should go especially since they're so negligent towards Multiplayer now in favour of Warzone.
Then wait for SM2 mate, it´s a community project that acts as a mashup for MW, Black Ops and Ghosts in a single game. Guns, maps, perks and factions from all 3 entries in a single game. Looks pretty neat but it´s still early in development
@@spencer4hire704 start WW3 and try to kill off all members of the group that helped you defend America in the first place, yeah no that's a hard pass for me
@@spencer4hire704 also what I don't understand, Shepard is a army general right? But all those men who died to the nuke were marines. Unless army generals also have command of marines? I'm confused with rank and hierarchy of the military
@@NordicJarl27 If Shepard was given overall command of the invasion against Al Asad, he would be in charge of all the Marine, Army, and Air Force generals and their subordinate units.
@@NordicJarl27 Plus, attacking the city that got nuked would require more than just Marines. And Lt Vasquez made it seem like EVERYONE in the AO was converging there, much like Baghdad or Fallujah
10:12 I really wish Rook (Guy Shown On The Timestamp) survived during the car chase, kills Sheperd with Soap & Price, becomes a very well known character and gets included on MW3. Not gonna lie, I think Rook deserves more attention.
Hey thank you so much, if you haven't seen my other videos check out the MW2 NPC Wars playlist there are a lot more videos I've made. Also there is a COD NPC Wars playlist which has videos with Cod 1/Cod 2/Cod WaW etc. if you are interested in those ✌
I vibe thinking this is Charle, Delta squads both moving in after Alpha/Bravo took some heavy hits at beginning. This scene just bad ass with the camera shot
Not going lie, I kinda wish the SWAT officers in Watch_Dogs 2 looked like the Shadow Company operators. SWAT did have a similar apperance in the reveal trailer though. I did get Shadow Company to replace the vanilla Security Forces in the original Insurgency (2014). One of the best mods for that game. I suppose you could try to mimic their appearnce in Sandstorm but it won't be the same.
The maritime plate carrier Shadow company uses are so iconic and bad ass. Most bad ass looking character skins in the entire series, ever. Made me actually feel like I might not win.
Back when games didn't pull their punches. One of my favorite games and one of the best ever made. Would gladly go back to the multiplayer if the servers still worked.
Any other OGs remember playing the Spec Ops mission for this level with the juggernauts? So freaking hard man! Had to replay this one at least 20 times!
i think the accuracy of the bots depends on the difficulty you play on maybe try playing the hardest and see if the bots land more shots and take cover better
I like how accurate the a.i shotgun be 🤣 get me running for cover as my screen be bloody and i know everybody else in the comment section knows what im talking bout.
Shadow company must be the special forces arm of the CIA under direct command of gen.sheperd , this are not PMC's in a sense but rather a collection of the best men from the entire US special forces branches , mainly tier 1 or tier 2 , hence the use of SUV's , as the only known operators of such vehicles are secret service and some CIA classified Special Forces Groups , but , in a military standpoint , using civilian vehicles for military ops is both economical and logistic friendly , as these hardware's are easy to be acquired and part are readily available , and it cost half that of an actual military vehicles , only downside is , since its a civilian model , its durability will deteriorate overtime , compared to longevity of a military grade model , overall , the usage of different vehicles not corresponding to there national faction is a thing in warfare , in fact the USAF purchased Mig29 fulcrums and Su-27 flanker from former soviet states , and they even stole a mi-24 hind , so yeah .....
It was very cool, even more in MW2 Remastered with these graphics, it gave an extra touch, the game is much more beautiful. The only thing that bothers me a bit sometimes is the fact that the aim of some bots is so bad sometimes... I dunno, like and at such short distances, 😆😆😆, but the battle was pretty intense, the music from the Call of Duty 4 soundtrack matched the tension of the conflict. Hope more battles to come soon! The battle to retake Washington...Whiskey Hotel would be epic, of course there are others with great potential, but this one would certainly be very intense, and this graphic engine makes the narrative even more alive. Good work !
i love this game specially this mission since it feels as one of the liveliest mission with npc's shooting everywhere. also for the fact that i kept dying here reminds me how this mission was one of my favorite lol
That’s just the gun he’s using, the American is using a scar which is a standard stock, but the Russian is using a TAR which is a bull pup rifle, meaning that the magazine is behind the trigger instead of in front. This means that the soldier has to position his arm around the stock to fit his hand in the grip.

I’ve never understood why makrovs men used the humvees and shadow company used armored SUV’s
It's CoD logic back then and it's brought back here
Shadow Company are PMC, those companies purchase civilian vehicles and upgrade them with armour and reinforced windows (if possible), they are legal companies operating within the regulations of the US, the troops are ex military. Makrovs men purchase surplus used military vehicles. Its realistic if you understand the factions
The Russians primarily use NATO weapon in this game and the ak47 which they moved on from decades ago
Shadow Company is a Elite PMC that under the Comand of General Shephead
Shadow Company used both, Humvees and SUVs but mainly SUVs
And Makarov Men maybe are using US army excedents? They are Mercs too afterall
1:05 Boy, that guy sure looks like he’s having fun lmao.
I’ve always thought Shadow Company is one of the coolest looking factions in any video game.

AI against other AI: Stormtrooper Aim

I've just noticed that SC and Makarov's men have the different weapon holding. 1:18 and 3:26. Makarov's ppl use USSR style of holding.
That’s just the gun he’s using, the American is using a scar which is a standard stock, but the Russian is using a TAR which is a bull pup rifle, meaning that the magazine is behind the trigger instead of in front. This means that the soldier has to position his arm around the stock to fit his hand in the grip.
