Infiltrating KGB Headquarters - Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War

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

​@@Foxathy 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 wrote the same reply at Diego Salazar's comment.

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.

[@ernestw2474]

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.

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
