It's not much better when the American spies who should be speaking Russian and German well enough to pass for Soviets/East Germans butcher the pronunciation. They could have hired another voice actor to do their non-English voices to make it sound more convincing.
They could've hired a Russian guy off the streets who would've done those lines better lol. Note : even if he is Chechen, its very Americanized accent. fixin it would've been much more authentic.
I don't think we should have combined the Modern warfare and Black ops game universes. They are different, and transferring characters won't do them any good.
None of that makes sense, they have always been intertwined, and no, they're not really different, by any means, hell Warzone, an MW mode which was updated into the game, is now the BR for COD for every future game to come, and with Black ops integration, we have BO:CW operators selectable, soon we can use our CW loadouts and Verdansk will change to reflect that integration, it was said Imran died during the Cold War, which is what this is, and that lore piece was a year ago when MW launched. Now you want different? Sledgehammer Games COD games, now THAT was its own universe.
Meh, it’s a new interesting take to their campaigns. Allows us to be more invested if they’re constantly adding to one world rather than multiple. Plus, it’s in two different time periods so of course it’s going to be different.
No that's how belikov hears him because he's russian and understands every word he's saying, but when you Play as bell you hear them speaking Russian and not English, given that they made bell fluent in English and made him forget his entire Russian past.
