My algorithm is working. I’m driving home, I have a 6 Hour drive and the first thing that pops up at the top of my for you page is this video. Not only is it this video, but it was uploaded 10 seconds ago. That’s pretty damn cool.
BO2 campaign is amazing. The branching story lines and locations are amazing. That "Old Wounds" mission in Afghanistan is still really fun to play through. And the predictions about 2025 were pretty spot on for 2011/2012. Global economies relying on Chinese resources for technology. Global reliance on Taiwan for microchips. Expanded drone warfare. Having a cheap $50 drone off of Amazon being able to take out a tank worth millions is kinda scary to think about. And the last prediction of groups using social media to communicate and acquire new members. Hell in one of the endings Cordis Dia attack the white house and burn it down. Kinda had something similar to that a few years ago at the captiol building. The writers behind BO2 definitely knew their stuff and paid attention to the world around them all the way back in 2011
if only they had predicted that instead of menendez, it would be a US president spreading the disinfo campaign and urging his followers to overthrow the gov't 💀 --seriously though, Menendez's use of populist ideas/anti-establishment rhetoric make BO2 quite eerie/prophetic. One of the best campaigns.
In my honest opinion the best mission in any COD game is the one where you shoot Mason and Woods gets his kneecaps blown off. That was sooo dark but I loved it. Good story telling.
The world relying on Chinese resources, Taiwanese microchips and drone warfare was pretty much already a thing already back in 2012. It's not so much a prediction, just a continuation. The things they did predict are pretty far off to be honest. With chargeable kinetic sniper rifles, see humans through walls glasses and such. Let alone the futuristic cities they imagined in the game.
Drone warfare was a thing at least 10 years before the release of BO6. The United states used drones for surveillance and bombing missions and Obama was criticized for drone strikes that hit civilians. These days were seeing more disposable and suicide drones tho along with consumer drones being converted into combat drones by non professional fighters. Instead of being a multi million dollar drone used by Air Force or as air support, you have them at a squad level where each squad can get Intel on their position, use night vision from the air, and drop ordinance without calling for mortar or air support. Strapping a bomb on a 5k DJI drone and crashing it into a ammo depot is way cheaper than a guided missile.
One thing you forgot, when Menendez and his sister were kids, they were trapped inside a barn that was torched by an American who owned it due to an insurance scam. When she opened the barn door that separated a burning section from a non-burning section they were in, the rush of oxygen fueled the flame, causing a backdraft that horrifically burned and disfigured her. Josefina became Raul's purpose of living and due to his wealth, which he raised through producing and selling drugs, he spent the next part of his life taking care of her. He had already hated Americans at that point, but when Woods killed his sister, that was when his hatred became person towards Woods, Mason and Hudson
When Menendez was a boy, he witnessed his fellow countrymen being tortured by the Nicaraguans who became the Contras. There was a real earthquake that hit Nicaragua in 1972, Menendez & his family lost their home in the earthquake in the game. A year later, his beloved sister Josefina got badly burned when a warehouse they were in was torched by an American businessman in an insurance fraud scheme. Raul Menendez & his father started over by selling drugs for easy money. They formed a powerful cartel that became reputable throughout the criminal underworld by the time the Sandinistas ousted American-backed dictator Anastasio Somoza. In 1982, the CIA assassinated Raul’s father, further embittering Raul Menendez. By 1986, Menendez was running guns in Afghanistan, & the weapons he sold went to Cuba, Angola & the Third World to arm anti-NATO, anti-American rebellions throughout the world. The death of his sister Josefina was the last straw for Menendez. He continued to sell drugs & weapons in the shadows for 30 years after what he did in Panama, & in 2014, he founded Cordis Die.
Fucking amazing recap dude, This is how you blend non-fiction with REAL events to create something that is truly unique, interesting, & fun. Raul Menendez is easily the best antagonist of the COD series & gaming in general. RIP Kamar de los Reyes, you truly brought the character to life, & made a lot of childhoods with this awesome story
Really good recap, but there's also a theory that when Woods killed Josafina, he was under the influence of cocaine since right before she was killed Woods and Mason raided one of Menendez's cocaine factories.
idea for a future video: your historical analysis on metal gear solid v, as the game deals in part with some of the liberating forces throughout afghanistan and angola
I love you brought up the loud rock music during Just Cause. One thing to add, it wasn't done as a psychological manipulation tactic, but because he was taking refuge in the Vatican City Embassy and the Pope saw rock and roll as the devils music, which eventually led Vatican City giving up Noriega
Would love to see you tackle Metal Gear solid, 3, peace walker and phantom pain, they all have some really nice blending of real world events and fiction! MGS 2 also holds some pretty profound insight on information control that is relevant 23 years later.
@@hoodedbeastsYES I've been watching your videos and I can already tell that you'd love Metal Gear! It's a series that utilizes real world events and concepts in a real amazing way to perfectly weave into each game's narrative
Thank you for your history lesson, sir. It's amazing that a history teacher decided to go back to a decade-old game to share his wisdom, giving valuable background info to many of our beloved childhood game. I especially enjoyed your analysis of the 2025 predictions.
17:00 Actually, within the game, the invisibility tech was extremely recent, as shown when Section and his squad are pretty much the ones to discover the SDCs development of it
This game came out when I was in high school, still the best CoD game IMHO. It inspired me to write a research paper about the Soviet-Afghan War in grade 11, and another about the Angolan Civil War when I was in university. And yeah, the parallels between the in-game future missions, and our world today, really shows how ahead of their time the writers were!
This is a great untapped market for content creation. Going over popular media and drawing real life parallels is super interesting. Hearing about the real life side of these events makes games and movies have more depth. Please make more videos!
Video Games actually really are a great way to get engaged in learning about history. Assassins Creed, COD and Red Dead taught me a lot about historical events while i was growing up and got me into history a lot.
When all looks dark and the internet seems like nonstop drama and wars against Ai, a beacon of light shines in that darkness, it's content like this, thank you blessed TH-cam algorithm for giving me this great mega based video
Loving this series so far - waiting for BO6!! Also I'd love to see you expand this series on games like Metal Gear Solid 3, Peace Walker, and V. This series has great potential.
Spectacular video. Dense with fascinating info. The blend of fiction and non-fiction is seamless in the CoD. I had no idea. Please make more videos like this!! Maybe assassin's Creed? Or CoD WW2?
I just finished watching the black ops 1 video you made and was like “let’s watch the second one” and I saw it was posted 11 minutes ago. The universe wants me to watch your videos.
I NEVER EVER thought in my life I'd be so interesting in watching a school teacher teaching but yeah If i had you in class I wouldn't have hated school so much considering how much I loved these games
Smashed the like button as soon as I clicked on the video because your videos are so entertaining and informative. I’m sure I wasn’t the only person curious about the real life aspects of the Black Ops games
I just can’t wait for you to inevitably go over history in other video games. Personally I’m a huge fan of American history and Cold War era history, spy thrillers and interpretations are super exciting. I still remember my first time watching “atomic blonde” I really wish you keep the history stuff coming from time to time
BO2 is definitely the best campaign out there. I’ve replayed it numerous times over the years and still have fun. I think my all time favorite level is Colossus, where we infiltrate this massive artificial island to look for a woman Menendez wants. And Menendez himself is definitely one of if not the best villains in the franchise. I love his story. Now, it’s time for some BO6. Also, there’s been tons of talk about a potential remaster for BO2, and while that would cool, personally, I don’t want it remastered. It still looks really good to this day, and I feel like Treyarch will be forced to make a bunch dumb and unnecessary changes to the game. Now, I wouldn’t mind if they fixed Zombies maps like Tranzit and Die Rise, or brought omni-movement into the mix, but I feel like Treyarch might have to remove certain features that made this game so iconic.
Dude this video was awesome. Black ops 2 has always been my favorite cod game but I never knew how much this and some of the other games in the series connected to actually events and that some of the characters were real people. Great explaining of the events too. Also loved the comparisons of cod 2025 and modern day. Overall just an awesome video.
12:17 I find that "I fought the Law" technically is considered more as a punk song and the article coins it as "heavy metal" a very funny statement in itself.
What i think is very intersting is how we witness in the ukraine war right now the use of cheap explosive drones, which are basically the black ops 2 hunterkiller drones or the swarm
Fantastic video! And what a great idea, I’ve watched all your Call of Duty ones, it would be incredible if you could do the same for Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V, games set during WWI and WWII respectively
12:28 Fun fact about your fun fact: Treyarch/Activision was actually sued for 3 seperate potrayals in the Black Ops series.

@@maestrofeli4259savimbi was like a brave badass leader fighting against a brutal militia I really don’t agree with his family saying they portrayed him as being barbaric
Watching your videos makes me sad for how Black Ops 6 turned out. These older Black Ops games had such amazing Campaigns. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless!
Half of the game is futuristic, while the other half is all flashbacks. Not necessarily mostly futuristic, unless you're also counting multiplayer, which uses a lot of the futuristic assets from the campaign's futuristic events.
Amazing video but I noticed a few things either missed or skipped mainly things that are not real but could be "soon"*. 1 Celerium. Fiction rare earth mineral that within BO2 is used in creating the first quantum computer drive. 2 Cordis Die. Supposedly has 2 billion supporters in-universe. Unrealistic numbers due to a number of modern factors would be at least 1/1000th that size realistically. 3 CLAW. Boston Dynamics and the various models of machine intelligence being created, simply not militarised yet. *TM Similar to Nuclear Fusion; quantum understanding will take an unknown but not impossible amount of time.
17:15: Hell, that Cordis Die TH-cam channel is real! I mean...there's nothing on it except a four-second audio clip, and whether or not there ever was anything else on that channel is unknown to me, but it still does exist. EDIT: Just looked it up, and there's actually TWO videos on it. Big dif, I know. /s
@maestrofeli4259 I genuinely do not know. Weirdly enough, the channel was created in 2013, after BO2's release, and probably approaching the release of the game's final DLC pack. For all I know, they might have taken them down.
I recommend for you to analyse the medal of honour 2010, which is set in early years of war in afghanistan. Unlike the call of duty black ops it gives a realistic, ground view of an real world d conflict and the game's villains are also real!!
@ Ofc bro, I got my notifications on for your page 😂😂. Growing up with this game, and only now finding out a lot of it actually was based on history and real life events. So cool to see and learn, keep up the awesome work!
Loved your video! Black Ops 2 has always been in my opinion the best Call of Duty game. I played it so much growing up even though I was probably too young 🤣 If you want a original Xbox rare fps Vietnam game, I highly recommend men of valor. It's kind of hard to track down Aunt. It's a bit dated but there aren't many first person boots on the ground regular soldier Vietnam games with a story that you care about
When hot damn no wonder people lambast the campaigns from now days. The fact that Treyarch dealt with the actual figures in history into their story both as an alley and to fight against the very character they depicted as the bad guy is so damn ballsey and I wouldn't see it happen ever again. Campaigns like MWIII, Vanguard prove how fictional and Marvel esque they've gotten at times with their campaigns.
Love these videos ! Video games while fictional are the reason im into history today, do you think you'll make some on any other game series ?assasins creed or ghost of tsushima come to mind
Gonna mention it again. Hooded beast, please cover black ops declassified. It's a PS Vita game that's a prequel sequel to bo1 and cold war. The game mainly takes back in the 70's but the intro in 1990, and the final mission in 1982. Not sure if any other cutscenes in 1990 so can you check the game out, and give your thoughts on the game?
You should do spec ops the line. Kinda hard to get but it was the most influential game I played changed my view on conflict when i was a kid from cool Michael Bay splosions' to "Wow these are people" real quick.

Oh, I was hoping for this!
Perfect to have a predicted 2025 while careening right into actual 2025 ourselves. They were right about the Drone Warfare.

Thank you for watching! I’m honored that you enjoyed it
Once you're done with black ops 6, do the moder warfare series either the old series or the new one, and them jump to battlefield series please.
Love these videos ! Video games while fictional are the reason im into history today, do you think you'll make some on any other game series ?assasins creed or ghost of tsushima come to mind
Hell yeah he’s back!!
Good to see you again!
Great video. I subbed
Thank you!!
Gonna mention it again. Hooded beast, please cover black ops declassified. It's a PS Vita game that's a prequel sequel to bo1 and cold war. The game mainly takes back in the 70's but the intro in 1990, and the final mission in 1982. Not sure if any other cutscenes in 1990 so can you check the game out, and give your thoughts on the game?
That sounds interesting! Sadly I don’t have a PS Vita, but maybe sometime in the future I’ll be able to check it out
Here we are in 2025. Lets see how this goes.
You should do spec ops the line. Kinda hard to get but it was the most influential game I played changed my view on conflict when i was a kid from cool Michael Bay splosions' to "Wow these are people" real quick.
I love your videos!
perfect timing for eating lunch
please do more videos on history of the cia and the kgb, also on current political situation and what caused them, very interesting
The first time I understood history lessons.
Love this series
