The FULL Story of the Call of Duty Black Ops Series Explained (WaW - BO6)

Gingy we need a zombies story explained as well. No one does it like you

[@cowboyorangesoda8408]

Agreed

[@TheGibBsterGaming]

PLEASE I love these video explanations and a zombies one would be everything I could ever ask for.

[@Alphax36]

YESSSS

[@matman2422]

Gingy is amazing at creating storylines, but Eruptionfang easily has the best zombies story video, even though, it’s nearly 7 hours long the level of detail and dedication is insane. I couldn’t recommend his video enough

[@baricode]

​@@matman2422 MASSIVE agree, I hated zombies and thought it was boring before watching his lore video. Now I love playing it because the lore is interesting

[@cooldes4593]

Whats crazy about this is im subscribed to both Gingy & Gaming Harry so its weird to see that both have made “full black ops story” videos

[@9ine09houston]

Bro me too😭 i got confused and thought this was a reupload from gingy

[@themaniac8596]

Bro Harry is GOAT too, just as our man gingy here

[@ScoutXdude]

It’s prob cause the new Black Ops game dropped

[@hex5132]

I feel like I always see Gingy, Harry, and Your Favourite Son always on the same wavelength.

[@marb2428]

what’s crazy is imma watch both 🤓

[@solarianvoid-pi9428]

I'm sorry but I snorted so hard when 17:13 the e-guitar sets in and Hudson just pulls out sunglasses That was comedic But also yay! I have been curious about the plotline(s) of Call of Duty but never got around to playing even one of the games, so happy to get a top-notch gingy-quality video on the story

[@BismarckDidNothingWrong]

Regarding the statements about Molotov-Rippentrop Pact @ 2:40; the Pact did not break upon Nazi Germany's Attack on Poland in 1939, but held until 1942 when Operation Barbarossa started. As a matter of fact, the Pact gave half of the conquered polish lands to the Soviet Union, which invaded Poland, at that point a soverign and independent nation, a week after the Nazis did.

[@saltyair898]

Wasnt he talking about the in game events

[@ziellone123]

@@saltyair898 No, the ingame events were based off history, not some crazy russian fan-fiction. In reality the Soviets invaded Poland with Germans 2 weeks after the start of the war and were friends until 1941

@@wuhlfzebayne Because Russia is invading Ukraine? And they have always wanted to deny the fact that they (even though it was technically the USSR) worked with them to divide Poland.

[@CasualKraken]

Wasnt interested in the topic or the thumbnail but then noticed it was gingy and clicled because i knew how much care would be put into it

[@Animoro1]

Factsssss

[@mmay1633]

BO3 could have been such a fantastic story, but I get the feeling that the devs just didn’t have enough time to flesh it out through the campaign so they compromised by taking the coolest, most cinematic, and most important moments and putting those into gameplay while putting the rest into those scrolling text entries

[@ShadwRavn]

Storie is worthless when the game plays and feels like dogshit

[@LietueantGreek]

Train go boom

[@njmksr8686]

It still is a very good story, but it suffers from presentation that makes it hard to understand that it's a mystery instead of just confusing.

[@RedthegamingZoroark]

Gotta be honest Bo3 has a decent story, but honestly it just feels so incredibly rushed by the third mission of the game.

[@njmksr8686]

Black Ops 3 is so underrated. Crazy plot twist that makes what would be a bog standard COD into a ridiculously deep mystery with some seriously introspective sci-fi themes. Criminally underrated. When I finally figured out what was going on I felt like a conspiracy theorist. It was really fun.

[@MrTkP11]

[@Susknight98]

So much futuristic

2 full series retrospectives? Gingy you spoil us.

[@solarianvoid-pi9428]

1:02:59 Ha! Gingy, your bone-dry delivery of lines like this, so awesome!

[@diegomartinez3986]

I love how he didn’t even attempt to explain the weird story of Black ops 4

[@danmthemannotavailable]

Me too! Personally, I felt like BO4 campaign had the best and lasting impact in the Treyarch storyline and "this guy," who is so elaborate in details, didn't even include it!

[@danmthemannotavailable]

@@evanberry396 yeah! Wasn’t it so cool how it to 3005, and then they barely connected back to Menendez and Woods and Mason? That was the best part of the story to be honest. You missed out!

[@Excruciate.]

I was not expecting this, Thank you Gingy 🙏

[@lumisussy]

Well this is unexpected but very welcome! Black Ops 2 is my favorite call of duty campaign of all time, can't wait to hear your take on it

[@Buuster1999]

I still think it's the best COD ever, the campaign was great as was the multiplayer and zombies.

[@bronmill33]

@@Buuster1999fr, no other COD campaign has as many branching paths, optional missions and variations of events in missions than BO2. It certainly has the most replay value and the greatest epilogue cutscene of all time

[@jeremydonnelly1374]

Hey @Gingy 18:20 the Berlin Wall didn't collapse until 1989, not 1981.

[@riverwinddk1]

Was just about to go post this

[@Gingy]

Ah my apologies thank you for the correction :)

[@noahmartin1206]

@@Gingy love your content! But Germany and Russia went to war in 1941 not 1939

[@roozki808]

I just heard that, but I assumed he maybe meant to say long after the space race, and before the collapse of the wall

[@rokumaygo7134]

Ok… did not see a COD essay coming….ever…. Not from Gingy….but I’m surprised and intrigued. Curious about a game that boils down to “find enemy, shoot enemy, blow things up, hooray”

[@Hellfire-wk6xn]

While it does boil down to shoot and blow shit up, the Black ops series have distinguished themselves as your usual COD shooters, but with better stories and writing compared to other COD stories...mostly IMO. Black ops 4 didn't have a campaign : /

[@chikapukaichou4386]

Just recently replayed Black Ops 2 because I was feeling nostalgic for my PS3 era. And I wanted to go through the lore of the entirety of Black Ops but didnt want to go through the effort of playing everything (entirely a skill and laziness issue on my part lol), so thanks Gingy for this!

[@SpicyGinge]

Holy shit Gingy I’ve only watched through the Silent Hill video twice, now you drop this right away?! Legendary

[@3rdStepStudios]

It is worth remembering that all of the "story" (character profiles/events) of Black Ops 4 is still canon to the timeline as well which answers some of these more open ended statements.

[@theknobking4308]

All of your videos are fantastic. Keep up the great work, Gingy!!

[@ultrasblade9350]

Love the detailed descriptions and linking to real world events - great work as always! Just one slight correction from a history nerd. As you introduce Black ops Cold War, you state that the game takes place in 1981 which is "Well after the collapse of the Berlin Wall". The Berlin wall was taken down in 1989, during the closing years of the cold war, during Gorbachev's Perestroika and Glasnost policies. There's probably a typo in the script where it should be "Well after the construction of the Berlin wall", as the Berlin wall started out in 1961 as some wired fencing which gradually were built upon with walls and checkpoints throughout the 60s and 70s. Sorry for the nerd "uuhm actually".

[@D34darchive]

You’re literally the first person to actually do all of this timeline in KZbin history

[@ruussell3923]

gaming harry’s done majority of the series, just in separate chunks. this is definitely better done though, no shade to Harry. Gingy is just far more concise(and less british so bonus points)

[@thepines1]

These old games look so good

[@panzermensch1577]

BO3 was actually great. BO3, Advanced Warfare, and IW Campaign, were great to me. It might have helped that I loved Titanfall, but I thoroughly enjoyed BO3 and Advanced Warfare.

[@F41nt13]

17:13 when Mason tells what the numbers mean

[@Sabb147]

Jesus Christ there’s so much torture in this franchise, Jacob Geller wasn’t lying

[@brooke89776]

Call of Duty Black Ops takes place in an alternate timeline where every American crime was done by someone else

[@evanberry396]

You’ve never played a call of duty campaign then, they were never afraid to make the Americans the backstabbers or bad guys

[@riccardopampagnin8681]

2:44 No, Germany didn't broke the Molotov Ribbentrop pact by invading Poland. The USSR and Nazi Germany agreed to split Poland in two. The pact was broken by Germany with operation Barbarossa in 1942.

[@BrokenToy]

What I noticed in Black Ops 1 is near the end of Hudson explaining to Mason that while they have knowledge about Nova 6, he was sure there are other sleeper operations going on that he has yet to discover. This insinuates that Hudson had reasons to continue investigating sinilar actuvities going on, which lead to him gettting close to discovering The Patheon and The Patheon orchastrating a plan to remove Hudson and any close ties he has. Recruiting Jane Harrow, Michael Caine and almost recruiting Case, working with Raul Menendez to distract Hudson and his close ties enough to get them far away from The Patheon's plans and get them killed. Which led to the CIA mole supplying Raul with info (the likely candidates are either a Brainwashed Harrow or Michal Caine) leading to everything that happened in Black Ops 2. I truly hope the upcoming Warzone Cutscenes for BO6 finally sheds light so we can answer this freakin question 12 years in the making. I can only assume since Woods never mentions The Pantheon in BO2 in any way, he either helped defeated them once and for all long before that, or perhaps he was drugged and made to forget all about what happened and only remember the Raul Menendez stuff. This story still has interesting turns it can go.

[@Rein-s8m]

This will sound corny but i miss the narrative direction that wow had. it didn't glorify war and showed how grim it is. making your characters feel like survivors, not action heroes most of the time.

[@LeoArmada]

Call of Duty Black Ops is the best Call of Duty series.

[@Nigel2259]

Gingy posted twice this week🎉🎉🙌🙌

[@HowlV1]

I did not expect this at all but I'm grateful for it. This is a big ask but now you have to make a zombies story retrospective one day

[@themaniac8596]

Yo Gingy at it again, insane to see some COD lore here but really appreciate it, maybe you could even have a look some day into the deep and complex Zombie Lore with Primis etc. would be sick, but will be a 3 hours+ Video for sure :D

[@Spariteo]

such a great video on the story, im glad more people can finally learn about how really connected all these games are and how in depth some campaigns go

[@AshenVanguard]

The GOAT uploaded again! Hell yeah Also a major mistake at the begining. Literally 2:40. The German attack into Poland didn't break their pact with the USSR. Infact, it was all in their plan. USSR attacked Poland from the east right along the Germans. Then they divided it between themselves. What broke the pact was the German push into the Soviet Union that happened later.

[@Im_Tired4160]

Crazily I had unintentionally unlocked a secret ending where all the main characters and Menendez were in a rock band. It was pretty cool.

[@juanvilla7265]

You should review the Castlevania franchise in preparation for the new season.

[@Crispy_DAWG]

10:40 You know i never noticed the actual Russian defector in BO1 is probably the dead guy next to the desk where the folder is picked up by Reznov in the cutscene. The level of detail to include this is why I love BO1.

[@Whodyanikabollockov]

2:29 The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was signed 23 August 1939. The Germans attacked the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, 95 weeks after. The pact had the Soviets agree with the Germans to invade Poland and divide the country. Stalin outmanoeuvred Hitler by delaying the Soviet invasion of Poland to 17 September 1939, 16 days after the German invasion so the western allies would be at war with Germany and not with Russia. Please get your history right.

Many players & Woods think Jane Harrow was the mole in Panama. It’s possible that Jackson Caine might’ve been the mole. Perhaps we might learn who the mole was in Warzone. Also, Perseus was the connection between Raul Menendez & Imran Zakhaev.
