Evolution of Shadow Company - Modern Warfare

Hello everyone. This is my first time making an Evolution video so its a bit terrible but not bad. At the end of the day its my first time.
this is the Evolution of Shadow Company
If you guys don't know who Shadow Company is, Shadow Company is a American PMC Run by General Shepard. Also in the reboot series it is run by Phillips Graves. These guys are the best of the best but turned their back. Shadow Company are now enemies.

I’m honestly caught in the middle between 2009 and 2022. 2022 shadow company had more personality. But 2009 shadow company’s radio chatter sounded intimidating.

[@klv8037]

One thing I really liked about 2009 shadow co, their deep and badass voice lines, they sound more calm and professional compared to new one (hell i haven't even mentioned 2009's beautiful gear). Too bad they still got destroyed because they couldn't handle Price and Soap's plot armor. They even have the most badass callsigns I've heard in a while: Oxide, Warhorse, Excalibur, Avatar, Disciple. These mfs do not mess around lol

[@lIllIlllIlIllIlllIlIllIlllIl]

Huge disagree 2022 Shadow company dialogue is nonstop cringeworthy 141 fellatio or Graves being Mr. edgelord in somehow a strangely politically correct manner which makes it unintentionally funny. Speaking of Graves he becomes an absolute moron the second he goes bad, Literally everything he does and says make Shadow Company look like even more of a joke during and after the betrayal. Shadow Company being playable also completely destroyed any sense of mystery that the originals had. In the OG these guys were like an army of boogey men that appeared out of nowhere towards the end of the game. Calm, Professional, and focused. No need to know them because doing the talking isn't their job.

Felt that, the original series had a beautiful yet subtle artistry and cinematics, while the reboot hold more firm into realism. Both are great series but nothing beats the first and last interactions with shepherd in the original.

[@diabolos9105]

We all knew what was coming in the new MW2 (betrayal) but Graves in particular made you forget what was coming. He’s such a good character and personally one of my favourites, the new shadow company seems much more fleshed out and you fight alongside them for a much longer amount of time compared to 2009 Mw2 which made the betrayal even worse in my opinion. Thank god ghost survived this time though 😅

[@Konni321]

Ghost got more plot armor in the reboot

[@raptorshinryu]

Shadow Company should have stayed aligned with 141 in MWII. Like, why pull the same twist twice? How crazy would have it been if they wrote a situation where Shepherd commands Graves and the Shadows to kill 141, but Graves defies orders/kills his comms? Could you imagine people's reactions? Instead we get a betrayal we all saw coming with no where near the impact as the original MW2.

[@mouse3872]

I think there is a chance where in MWIII they end up working with Shepard and Shadow company to take down Makarov's forces instead of what happened in the original where you work with Makarov to take down Shepard. I think they will have TF141 runout of leads or get cut off from resources and TF141 is forced to work with Shepard to stop a plot by Makarov

In a season trailer(forgot which one) for warzone we see Captain Price through Victor Zakhaev off a ledge but we don’t know if he is dead but it is a likely possibility that he is dead.(This is mostly assuming and theory based with some evidence so I might be wrong and we still might get missions with the Zakhaevs.

[@fogfullofsilhouettes5842]

In future, Shadow Company should be way more intimidating than their 2022 appearance. As a faction they are possibly the most powerful of all the antagonists, easily taking on Makarovs and Zakhaevs forces and winning. I didn't feel that this time around, they fleshed Shadow Company out enough this time around. We only get a brief mission where we play as A Shadow Company soldier, but its easily the shortest mission of the MW2 campaign and only gives us an insight as to why missiles are a major plot point, that's literally it. Perhaps, we should have a campaign specifically focusing on the aftermath of Grave's 'supposed' death and the power vacuum left behind, where Some Shadow Company operatives work with TF141 and others work with Makarov to form the Inner Circle we see in MW3.

[@daveyjoneslocker4703]

The story for MW2 2009 is just all around better. Not only is it filled with more action and iconic moments, it actually does make more sense. The plot for MW2 22 is sheer nonsense, however I’m not just viewing these games through nostalgia goggles. Gameplay-wise I think MW2 22’ is incredible, and while it’s story may be nonsense and less iconic, the characters themselves in the story are amazingly written and acted and we get a lot more time with them. Both have their highlights but man, it seems so obvious nothing will ever top the highs of the original MW trilogy.

I played it on a shi** laptop screen but it felt way real than any VR today, as if we were living that moment for real. I think it would be worth to say it the number 1 scene in a video game

[@ClonedGamer001]

I do appreciate the rebooted MW being more clear on what Shadow Company actually is. In both the original and new versions they're a PMC, but in the original MW2 that isn't stated anywhere in the game. The remastered campaign does reword one of the plaques in the museum to mention it, but that's it. I remember when I first played I thought Shepard had somehow convinced an entire company of actual US soldiers to help in his conspiracy, and I was very confused how he managed to pull that off.

[@kuki1824]

They weren't pmc in og it was retcon

[@ClonedGamer001]

@@kuki1824 They used entirely different equipment from the actual US military that appeared in game and had a different system of callsigns. The Shadow Company emblem also doesn't line up with what any actual US military emblems look like. Also there's a radio conversation between two Shadows where one gets reprimanded and docked hazard pay for taking cover from a sandstorm; The US military doesn't dock hazard pay. They definitely were always intended to be PMCs but that was just never made clear originally.

[@ClonedGamer001]

@@kuki1824 Yeah. He used that blank check to hire them. Because they're PMCs. Pretty much exactly like in the reboot. But it's not stated that's what they are or that that's what he used the check for anywhere in the original MW2. And no they don't use the same helmets. They're similar, but they aren't the same. And even if they did, the entire rest of their kit is different. If they were actually supposed to be actual US military personnel, they would have just recolored the models instead of making new ones.

I wish we could’ve seen more of mw 2019 shadow company lerch looked like a cool character

[@CoolSmoovie]

In 2022, Shadow Company turned evil on a dime. It was honestly jarring. I knew they’d be bad guys, but it had ZERO build up and happened for almost no reason at all. Just because they were put in charge of a AO? Shepard is barely a bad guy too. Just tried to get missiles to Allies through illegal means. The game even says his intentions were good.

Loved it !! but you should have added footage from the original game as well, the remastered has notable added scenes but original shows the though process of that time

[@fuoco1365]

The only thing that new shadow company is missing is the intimidation factor of the regular grunt mercs. Graves is perfect for a leader and has a fun personality. But the soldiers need to talk more in missions and make more chatter like they did in the OG game and sound like they are a big threat. It doesn't help they had a lot of defeats what with losing the missiles and losing the gas in the warzone event

Pretty sure in 2009 Shadow Company was considered an off-the-books elite military unit, but then retconned into a PMC in 2019. Looked better and sounded better in 2009, like an actual unit. 2022 they're just some generic mercs now. Shame.

[@CDNBreadDogs]

The 2022 shadow company is amazing but the new SC operators Oz and Mila don't seem like Shadow Company at all. Shadow Company is a group of tactical mercenaries who operate just like a military, Oz and Mila look and act like civilians who chucked on some old airsoft gear they found in their little brother's storage closet
