The only guard you can’t takedown lethally in the level happens to be the only one that could suspect that you knocked him out. No wonder they easily detained Belikov later on.
I just realized that if Mason went on this mission instead of Bell like Hudson wanted, the mission would’ve been a fiasco because he would’ve gone batshit the second he saw Kravchenko
Yea i wish it would just be a stealthly mission instead of massacring everyone and get away with it, seriously tho, why the hell did the soviets didn't attack USA for this???
I wasn't a fan of this campaign but I did like Gorbachev's speech at 5:36. It's a flip of Kennedy's "we are at grave dangers from the communists" speech in BO1.
This mission alone made Cold War worth buying. Seeing a map with multiple different pathways and objectives you could do was awesome. It's still relatively basic compared to RPGs, but it broke free from the insanely painful linear Michael Bay rollercoaster ride CoD was stagnantly riding into the sunset for years.
@@piggy8761 Right??? Exploring cold war era lubyanka as an undercover officer is such a simple but refreshing idea. Cold War won me over by just slowing down every once and a while, not every single second had to be balls deep in gunfights.

@@ezequiel717 No he's right lmao The USSR fell not because Murca was just better. They had their own corruption and greed like America does, it was just a different banner and ideas.

@Patton they had some nasty advanced interrogation training, and pure meanness to boot, Not to mention this is cold war call of duty, either Lev kravchenko, or even nikkita dragovitch would most likely be sent in for a man like bell and Addler.
If they pulled this shit off in RL, the Soviet security troops would just seal the intruders inside the vault or another section of the bunker, then try to put them down with sleeping gas.
In 1966, the Soviets used a small tactical nuke to cap a natural gas wellhead that had blown almost three years prior and had resisted all other attempts to cap the well. The burrowed down, put the nuke near the well, and blew it up, crushing the metal and killing the well. What I'm trying to say is: The Soviets were 'merica before 'merica was 'merica. They would have locked them inside, then sent in 5000 special forces troops, and then, after they didn't hear from them within 15 minutes, they would have probably VX'd the whole place, and given all the troops Heroes of the Soviet Union medals
"If things go south, we need to secure our exfil." This from the same man that walked into a secure area beneath the KGB Headquarters and just started shooting. I think things are pretty much as far south as they're going to get.

I’d play spy themed RPG game pretty much like this and I’d love every second of it. Not a game that we completely go past our problems by killing or sneaking like in other stealth games but a game where we’re more dependent on surviving and completing missions by getting information from other people without blowing our cover or overall the diplomacy we have between the each party that we’re supposed to be aligned with due to the nature of our mission.
MW2019 is sort of a prequel to the original MW series, but it's also a reboot and some details have changed, so chances are future CoD games will sort of 'rewrite' the MW storyline to bring it in line with the groundwork the reboot has laid.

2 things that bother me about this mission: 1) Adler is a terrible choice for a undercover agent because of his scars, hair style/length, and sunglasses. The only worse option would be Sims. Park made the most sense (if she could speak Russian) since her hairstyle is within Soviet regulation. She doesn't have scars or face tattoos 2) The entire 3rd act is completely unnecessary. Them gun-blazing the entire KGB headquarter would result in WW3 whether Perseus was in the picture or not
I literally got ptsd when he said "This is Mr. Zakhaev", full, perfect flashbacks and chills down my spine for a solid minute I had to pause the video.
I believe the best option on the Undercover part is to Frame Charkov or Make your own Bunker key. Charkov is Dimitris old friend. It would be messed up to kill your Long time friend
@@threathy yeah field agents i think will not visit their office everyday like normal regular workers, they rarely come even maybe only few high level officers know their existence as agent... while others dont,
Why is the KGB's HEAD OF SECURITY not allowed in the restricted areas he could just say as the head of security he's doing a security check to a guard and walk right in
Yeah fr it isn’t perfect by any means but it is much, much appreciated after having to deal with robots, jet packs, wall-running, exo suits, lasers, and reviving the dead (BO4) for over 7 years in the franchise. And then, holographic sights on WWII guns in the next game 🤦♂️
Adler is like the most American looking dude you could possibly imagine. Doesnt look like an Eastern European in the slightest so dont think that was necessarily the smartest choice lol
@@raseconat88 kravchenko is from BO1, one of the people that was present during the brainwashing of mason, and zakhaev is the main villain in COD4, the stories are not the same and have no relation at all; they are in different universes
30:33 That one whole scene is like those arcade shooters when it gives you a machine gun with infinite ammo to let you shoot anything thats on your way
You guys know that's not the real Mason. his real name is unknown but we all know him as Bell who was MK Ultra just like Mason, between both two of them Mason had to kill three of his targets and Bell will he had job to do.
This seems like a mix of 70's technology with modern firearms. I wasn't alive yet in the 70's but I'm more than old enough to remember the early 2,000's and the gun tech is on par for that time period.
This was one of the coolest missions I’ve ever played in Call of Duty. I was fascinated by everything I was seeing and experiencing. Especially with everything that’s going on today! Gives you good perspective
They always speak Russian but As Belikov is Russian we hear them as English to show how Belikov understand them completely .. It's for us non-speaker to make it more immersive... When we took control of Bell he didn't understand them, hence they speak Russian.. It's not that hard
All Russians in this game should speak Russian. Just read English subtitles. Way more immersive than you are saying: If he understands Russian we hear English.
Before mission: "we need to sneak in and out with disguises, this is top secret, world peace hangs in the balance" During mission: "Fuck it light em up, WW3 wont happen lawl, lets just drive away weeee"
I was shocked on how much I liked this campaign and I kinda wish it fully married itself to the stealth aspects. If this game was longer, had more fleshed out stealth, and a more branching ending like in Black Ops 2, this could have been my new favorite campaign and the best CoD campaign since Black Ops 2.
the references to previous games are neat but they are really full force exploiting nostalgia at this point. it seems like they force characters into the game that didn't need to be there to make people go oh wow I know that guy.
"our very way of life is at risk" brought me back to being 10 years old playing black ops with my friends. love how they just re-invented the Kennedy cut scene in the dialogue.
cod infiltration/behind enemy lines-like missions are the best IMO and carry campaigns , despite the flaws in this one they are usually well made and immersive and don’t feel boring (unless replaying the campaign)
The only connection is MW19 And BOCW, older games(mw1, bo1,etc) does not connect, but this is a new universe, and this universe only has 2 games for now(Mw 2019 and BO CW)
It's connected with the new mw (2019) not the earlier one and I think bo2 is not connected to Bo Cold war bcoz we don't see any appearance or mentioning of Imran Zakhaev and William Bowman and even Adler (yeah characters don't appear after death but they are mentioned).
>Notices Kravchenko "Okay, sweet, they're including him. Seems legit." >Notices Zhakaev "excusemewtf.jpg" Can't wait for the countless conspiracy theories which try to combine both universes into one. Love the cameo mentions and appearances nonetheless.
My apologies if you don't understand my explanation, I'll do my best; I believe it's because of this: Belikov is Russian and so when you're playing as him, in his point of view, he understands Russian as if he understands English, which is why they speak English.

I think that's all I can say, but hope you get that idea.
Looking back at this game and seeing Gorbachev is really crazy how a crucial person in the history of mankind just passed away a few days ago. Many will hate him, but he played a important role of finishing the Cold War and bringing democracy to the Soviet republics. RIP Gorbachev, you will never be forgotten.
@@danteprice1874 Nah. Lenin and Stalin built up a powerful nation that cared about the common man. Gorbachev's actions disenfranchised tens of millions overnight and, as the other commenter alluded to, created a 10-year long state of anarchy and chaos in the whole of the Eastern Bloc.
@@grunt117 I get that but it definitely takes away from the immersion. I know, I know, the plot line does this as well but hey they could at least try to suck us in.
The layout and the interior design of the bunker are almost identical to what you can see in real life, if you visit the 'Bunker-42' installation in Moscow. Good job, devs!
The end of the mission had me so lit just goin scarface on the soviet union and then that car getting mowed down and then crashing. Cod has always done those slow motion shootings. Its amazing
Such an amazing mission until the end..still the best mission in the game but yea it got ridiculous when you start shooting up the entire KGB headquarters
The most important thing about US agents in the cold war is that they are able to witstand 120 assault rifle hits, all arround the body and act like nothing's happened.
The m16a1 in this game has the classic vietnam era 20 round waffle mags but some how has a capacity of 30. You cant expect perfect realism from these people.

He just goes in and find a body, then he calls the whole HQ.
Why is the KGB's HEAD OF SECURITY not allowed in the restricted areas he could just say as the head of security he's doing a security check to a guard and walk right in
This was the best mission we’ve had in quite a while. COD rarely makes memorable missions anymore
Yeah fr it isn’t perfect by any means but it is much, much appreciated after having to deal with robots, jet packs, wall-running, exo suits, lasers, and reviving the dead (BO4) for over 7 years in the franchise. And then, holographic sights on WWII guns in the next game 🤦♂️
Adler is like the most American looking dude you could possibly imagine. Doesnt look like an Eastern European in the slightest so dont think that was necessarily the smartest choice lol
Damn, I like the fact that the soviet soldiers are named after russian generals like Suvurov or Kutuzov

He is there, you play as him. You play as “Alex ‘Bell’ Mason”
You guys know that's not the real Mason. his real name is unknown but we all know him as Bell who was MK Ultra just like Mason, between both two of them Mason had to kill three of his targets and Bell will he had job to do.
He'd use his Reznov hallucination ability to annihilate all of them.
This seems like a mix of 70's technology with modern firearms. I wasn't alive yet in the 70's but I'm more than old enough to remember the early 2,000's and the gun tech is on par for that time period.

How did he get the code for the poison?
Since when Mikahil Gorbachev has gone full Communist? He's a Reformist.
I don't understand how Treyrach does it's research on Cold War history.
Wait, it does research at all?
Hey buddy there’s a difference between two and he is talking about keeping his country safe
Yeah because talking about reform in front of top KGB agents while you're still a secretary is a good idea
Gorbachev is still secretary from the Central Committee here. Look at the date of the campaign too.
Being a reformist doesn’t mean that you like having a spy conspiring against your government.
so realistic. especially the english speaking soviets. amazing reconstruction of reality. wow. 100/10
It was a choice that they speak english when you play as the mole, but as Bell they all speak russian. Hope you seen the whole video lol.
They always speak Russian but As Belikov is Russian we hear them as English to show how Belikov understand them completely .. It's for us non-speaker to make it more immersive... When we took control of Bell he didn't understand them, hence they speak Russian.. It's not that hard
All Russians in this game should speak Russian. Just read English subtitles. Way more immersive than you are saying: If he understands Russian we hear English.
Such a great time for TH-cam to recommend this video.
Before mission: "we need to sneak in and out with disguises, this is top secret, world peace hangs in the balance"
During mission: "Fuck it light em up, WW3 wont happen lawl, lets just drive away weeee"
."U have summoned to the confrence room"
"summons spy"

You know he is important.

I was shocked on how much I liked this campaign and I kinda wish it fully married itself to the stealth aspects. If this game was longer, had more fleshed out stealth, and a more branching ending like in Black Ops 2, this could have been my new favorite campaign and the best CoD campaign since Black Ops 2.
the references to previous games are neat but they are really full force exploiting nostalgia at this point. it seems like they force characters into the game that didn't need to be there to make people go oh wow I know that guy.
I mean, how can you explain what Kravchenko is doing since his eventual death in BO2?
@@agentlinrov1474 He died in 1986 during Soviet invasion of Afghanistan this game is before bops 2 before Menendez tortured woods.
my head canon is that this takes place in a universe where the events of waw and bo1 happenand then this and the new MW
zakhaev being there I think works fine honestly, it's completely plausible that Zakhaev was a well-off Soviet official prior to its collapse
@@mgsd8564 Yeah and this mission is set in 1981.
"our very way of life is at risk" brought me back to being 10 years old playing black ops with my friends. love how they just re-invented the Kennedy cut scene in the dialogue.
cod infiltration/behind enemy lines-like missions are the best IMO and carry campaigns , despite the flaws in this one they are usually well made and immersive and don’t feel boring (unless replaying the campaign)
It's like No Russian and Dust to Dust combined.
Yeah, and the WW2 infiltration mission on Nazi
3:30 That's Imran Zakhaev the main villain for COD4 MW! This is him when he was younger with Kravchenko so I guess the games connect!
The only connection is MW19 And BOCW, older games(mw1, bo1,etc) does not connect, but this is a new universe, and this universe only has 2 games for now(Mw 2019 and BO CW)
@@FrostyyMcToasty Cold War is a direct sequel to BO1 and World at War, but they didnt say its a direct prequel to the future Black Ops
@@agentlinrov1474 Like an alternate timeline where it's BO 1, BO CW, MW 2019.
@@chaitanyakulkarni9141 Indeed.
It's connected with the new mw (2019) not the earlier one and I think bo2 is not connected to Bo Cold war bcoz we don't see any appearance or mentioning of Imran Zakhaev and William Bowman and even Adler (yeah characters don't appear after death but they are mentioned).
Didn’t know they had holographic sight in the 80s, when the first EOtech was invented in 1996.
>Notices Kravchenko
"Okay, sweet, they're including him. Seems legit."
>Notices Zhakaev
"excusemewtf.jpg"
Can't wait for the countless conspiracy theories which try to combine both universes into one. Love the cameo mentions and appearances nonetheless.
I wish they spoke actual Russian, I cringe when I hear English with forced Russian accents.
...or attempts at Russian with horribly thick non-Russian accents...
My apologies if you don't understand my explanation, I'll do my best; I believe it's because of this: Belikov is Russian and so when you're playing as him, in his point of view, he understands Russian as if he understands English, which is why they speak English. As for Bell, his nationality is likely Russian. In the plot twist part, CIA brainwashed and implanted false memory on him after rescuing him from Turkey mission, making him thinking you are American or British, but retains his Russian skills, based on dialogue with Zakhaev in the elevator. In the bad ending, when staying loyal to Perseus, Perseus speaks English, meaning Bell maintains his allegiance to the Soviets or he just snapped out of it from brainwashing. I think that's all I can say, but hope you get that idea.
A good amount of them do though
Similar to MGS3
Play the campaigns in you will understand
RIP Mikhail Gorbachev (1931-2022)
Who is that Mikhail?
Looking back at this game and seeing Gorbachev is really crazy how a crucial person in the history of mankind just passed away a few days ago. Many will hate him, but he played a important role of finishing the Cold War and bringing democracy to the Soviet republics. RIP Gorbachev, you will never be forgotten.
@@nitrohexane1160 he wasnt worse than stalin or lenin bro stop the cap

If your character understands Russian then it would be English, just like how other English speaking character heard it as Russian language
It’s just for the player’s benefit; target audience is American and other English speaking players.
Subtitles would be a lot lol
@@grunt117 I get that but it definitely takes away from the immersion. I know, I know, the plot line does this as well but hey they could at least try to suck us in.
Because this is a English game and it would hard to understand for someone else
If you play as Bell , then they would start speaking Russian
Gorbachev :How has that gone with the investigation of the mole?
Belikov: Mr. Gorbachev tear down this bunker wall
Infiltration mission is scarier than a toe to toe battle missions
i guess it's happening now
The layout and the interior design of the bunker are almost identical to what you can see in real life, if you visit the 'Bunker-42' installation in Moscow. Good job, devs!
This is the best part of the campaign in my opinion. It was really cool meeting Mikhael Gorbachev.
Video games have come along way. This was pretty amazing to watch. Bravo👍
6:55 I just realized that's an actual choking technique, using the other arm to lock your arm firmly to the neck, great detail!
This mission looks like taken out straight of a James Bond game
Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol.
But 1980s
The end of the mission had me so lit just goin scarface on the soviet union and then that car getting mowed down and then crashing. Cod has always done those slow motion shootings. Its amazing
It looks like my old grandma’s house :) thank you, much nostalgia
Gorbachev death bring me here, Why cant they keep all the conversation in russian, what a big flaw.
Such an amazing mission until the end..still the best mission in the game but yea it got ridiculous when you start shooting up the entire KGB headquarters
This flashes me back to COD1 and the sub or ship mission. Good times.
I gotta hand it to the Soviets, they know how to make a good HQ
The most important thing about US agents in the cold war is that they are able to witstand 120 assault rifle hits, all arround the body and act like nothing's happened.
but soviet soldiers get hit 3 times with a assault rifle and drop dead
Yeah it's like "super soldier"
Well if this happened, then Nuclear War was inevitable IRL
