Hey everyone! This is the biggest personal project I have ever done and I'm really proud of the outcome. There were days I would not work on this project for weeks due to lack of motivation, and there were days I would work my ass off all day and night to finish this project. I have learned a lot of things and skills on the way. I gotta say that when I first started on this project, I never thought that the length of this edit will be this long, and yet here were are.
And also one important thing is the amount of help and opinions i got from my good friends Jagg, Fuze, Jkr, Maro, Static, Ali, Amir and J3 who made the edit a lot better. Love you guys!
And thanks to everyone who was involved in the making of this edit in any way:

@@cryingchihuahua487 Yes, but on an editing point. The backdrops to every scene was fully detailed. Many different links to other games with some of the animations as well (Looked like an MW execution with the throwing knives after the table drop scene). After watching this several times, I can not find a singular frame to fault of missing anything or just having something not line up properly, wich is more than can be said of Hollywood-level production.

[@nyl0n733]

it takes roughly 4 years to become a military officer (the first rank being lieutenant) but we need to count in OCS (12 weeks), airborne school 3 weeks, 1 year for the training to become special forces, he is also considered a war hero, so tack on a minimum 3 month deployment, and he would be roughly 23 and a half years old in 2054 at minimum. so 23 in 2054, 33 in 2065, so in 2115 he is atleast 83 years old. However, if you fix the lieutenant inaccuracy, and replace it with general (which actually commands special forces), it takes a minimum of 20 years of service before becoming a general, therefore he'd be 43 years old in 2054, 53 in 2065, 103 in 2115. But if we go by most common, instead of minimum, 4 years of ROTC, OCS, airborne school, ranger school, Q-course (1 year), 6 month deployment, 30 years of service, then he would be 53 years old in 2054, 63 in 2065, 113 in 2115.
