Mark "Billy" Billingham served in the British SAS for over 17 years. He was responsible for planning and executing strategic operations across the world, and has led countless hostage rescues.
Since leaving the military he has worked as both a celebrity bodyguard, appears on Channel 4's "SAS: Who Dares Wins", "SAS Australia", and has just released his latest book "Survive To Fight".
Today he's joining us to break down and react to some of the most iconic missions from the Call of Duty franchise, including CoD 4, Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 2019

When I first played a pirated copy of that game I could not shake off the feeling that it was the highest budget prank I had ever seen. It went from a grounded setting of the first game to the clown town so fast. I would have been fine with the game if that was a new title, not a sequel to an excellent game.

My cousin worked on a game years ago and he offered my dad who is an army infantry vet to come in and do the same thing but was turned down due to budget issues if he works for them he HAS to be compensated for his time even though he happily offered to do it for free.

@@Charge11 in the video we barely see him watch anything of the mission and he obviously preferred to focus on the realistic aspects rather than the outlandish elements that are so obvious the layman could spot them . Bottom line is, like he said in the end of the video the missions shown from COD4 and MW2 aren't staples of realism, and what a surprise that All Ghillied up isn't with the way in which two guys seemingly pass a while army, at one point running out into the open into a massive convoy, before crawling under about 5 trucks as soldiers pass on either side witnessing nothing... it clearly takes some creative liberties, but ultimately as I already said, that doesn't matter considering how iconic the mission and game as a whole is - so stop crying like a petulant little child, you fool.

Killing fleeing civilians in what’s called the “Baku-Rostov highway bombing” Chechnya is close to where the fictional country in COD is and is an area that is Russian occupied even if the citizens aren’t fully happy with it. I could see that being the inspiration for the mission too.

I'd really like to see Billy reacting to some more 'realistic' games such as Ground Branch, Arma 3 (with UKSF mods), Squad (Middle East Escalation mod has special forces gear), or even a VR game like Onward. In many of those you get milsim players who strive to mimic real world TTPs, so its very cool watching an experienced operator pick apart how they play as well as the game's design. In terms of how night vision works, Ground Branch is the best out there as it gives you the same near blur and inability to use magnified scopes as real life.

He is definitely right about the full auto usage. Anybody who has been in the military knows that full auto is something you only do when absolutely necessary and usually in very close quarters. It is very difficult to handle the weapon and accuracy drops significantly. During my one year service I probably used the full auto feature twice during the exercises. Unless of course you're using an actual machine gun in a firing position...

Well, in real-life logistics is what ultimately determines who wins a battle, and a soldier on the front lines knows that ammunition is finite and that re-supply is not guaranteed, so why waste rounds with fully automatic fire? It's the reason 5.56 is preferred over 7.62, even though it's less powerful. They can carry more 5.56 than 7.62. It also has less chance of overpenetrating the enemy or going through walls and wounding/killing civilians. That was a problem with the venerated SLR and its 7.62 round in the 1970s and 80s. In conventional British infantry sections (squads in the US), there's one man assigned as the automatic rifleman for suppressing fire (usually equipped with a GPMG these days, I imagine they're looking to find something lighter - probably the NGSW-AR/XM250 and that new 6.8 round if the US Army goes through with it), everyone else uses semi-auto, as a rule.

Once again, absolutely brilliant video. Billy's insights are fascinating and I could listen to him break down gaming footage for hours, whether he explains what is realistic and what they do differently in reality, or whether he adds anecdotes from his own service. His reaction to the last mission shown is testament to the realism of the game. Thank you for asking a former operator with such pedigree to review these and please keep them coming! (but maybe either leave the F-words in or fade them out rather than bleep them out?) And for those who are wondering, Billy's books are also excellent. Highly recommended (and over the past 25 years, I've read pretty much every former Special Forces published, either autobiographical or fictional, like Andy McNab's great Nick Stone series, so I can assure you I have enough material to compare it to)

MW2019 got to my brother the first time too. Playing with his headphones on full blast, the first burst that was fired at him with the good sound design made him freak out a bit, had to stop playing for a few mins and his heart was racing.

love he mentions the SBS as they are extremely secretive. in fact many SBS ops have been attributed to the SAS. SBS motto is 'not by strength, by guile' my father tried out and passed. but turned down the opportunity as he felt he wasn't crazy enough. he had friends who did though. he was a royal marine and one day during an exercise in norway came across a friend who was sbs dressed as a fisherman darning his nets. as he approached the guys whispered, eff off i m not here. to this day he still doesn't know what the guy was doing there at that time.

All Ghillied up is my favorite mission for sure. I grew up hiking mountains hunting and fishing in southern Alaska as my dad and his family used to be hunting guides. For whatever reason cod was something I never took for granted. played cod 4 when i was like 9, still cut into my heart that games epic. Happened to play the remastered version around the time of Trump’s inauguration. Re mastered cod 4 was very satisfying.
