Black Ops Cold War | The Story Of Season 2 (Naga, Rivas and Wolf)

[@neofulcrum5013]

Interesting how it all goes back to verdansk. I really don’t want to save Adler but I have to admit his grudge with stitch has made the story much more interesting.

[@MastermindsHD]

Although definitely interesting and I'm excited to see how it ties into the story of Warzone, it also feels like they're adjusting the story to the game design.

[@Glass-Eye25]

Naga is most likely Hmong. It’s kinda messed up they made a Hmong person be a part of Perseus. Hmong people were experiencing mass genocide by the Lao Communist and other Russian-backed forces. I highly see how unrealistic a Hmong person is not with the CIA. Edit: I may be wrong about him being Hmong, but I’ve never seen any non-Hmong with the last name Vang.

[@GotShotStudios]

gotta represent us someway, he might have bad blood with CIA because some Hmong OG's wanted to head back to the homeland after SEA (southeast asia) war, and the CIA set them up with a sting OP, My grandpa almost was part of that. Many hmong people dont know GVP was arrested by FBI and CIA

[@Glass-Eye25]

@@GotShotStudios yeah that’s true I can see that. I guess they were making a character with southeast Asian names haha. Since his name is Kapano Vang, he sounds like a mixed lol

[@209-i5m]

It would have been dope if they made a actual Hmong character in CW. This character was a pretty hype for me tho.

[@MastermindsHD]

How come you think he's Hmong?

[@Glass-Eye25]

@@MastermindsHD it’s just a hunch. I don’t truly know what character they were going for, but from what I’ve experienced, I’ve never seen an ethnic Laotian or Khmu with the last name Vang as it is more commonly identified with ethnic Hmong people.

Finally a reason to play warzone again

[@MastermindsHD]

Perhaps for a day.

[@JDothan]

Haven’t played warzone since they ruined it with black ops but my buddies are bugging me to come back so we’ll see

[@MastermindsHD]

Same here. I only follow the lore at this point. I can't wait for Modern Warfare 2 (hopefully) this year.

[@Johnnykham_]

Holy shit that is awesome how the story is in Laos (where I am from.)

[@MastermindsHD]

Nice

[@bouwe5748]

you're dutch

[@MastermindsHD]

Jij ook.

[@deviljocky598UT]

I like how they are slowly looking more modern im tired of the old world wars aesthetics

[@MastermindsHD]

I don't like Black Ops Cold War either, but mostly because I don't like the design of the game.

[@deviljocky598UT]

@@MastermindsHD i agree we need semi futuristic again like block ops 2 or the division in my opinion same with battlfield

[@Cmike228]

Tf is rivas, isn't that park?

[@MastermindsHD]

Nope. They don't even look alike.

[@upheavalash6672]

Not only do they not look alike but if you have sub-titles on when Rivas talks it shows up “Rivas:”

[@bruhmoment2922]

Wow this video is very underrated , i think this video deserves way more views than this. Very nice effort.

[@MastermindsHD]

Glad you liked it!

[@sashagaybright3530]

Is nobody else gonna talk about the fact that there was Thai writing on Naga's bandana or did nobody else notice

[@MastermindsHD]

I didn't.

[@khadajhin6467]

@@MastermindsHD this is Thai symbols on his bandana, also the tattoos appears to be Sak Yant - sacred and ancient thai alphabet/symbols used to keep evil spirits away - But he is Laotian, they're basically descendants from Thai people. Also the Naga is a very well known Thai mythological creature, used on many thai sculptures, ships, houses etc

[@sazr9569]

This is just G.I. Joe now

[@MastermindsHD]

Yes, it is. Vanguard is even worse.

[@Tanksggyt]

Love these videos covering lore/story man keep it up!

[@MastermindsHD]

Glad you like them! Although, I have half a mind to abandon Black Ops Cold War and Warzone lore altogether. It's hard to compete against the larger KZbin channels in such a big community as Call of Duty.

[@Eplasval1]

nice video

[@MastermindsHD]

Thanks

[@upheavalash6672]

Pretty sure 2 of the operators in the heli are charly from coalition (MW) and Thorne from coalition (also mw) There is a somewhat clear view of him as they land but it was his hat and his distinctive nose made me realize it was him as well as his darker skin complexion. With her I didn’t pay much attention at first but when I heard you say they were unknown I thought I’d look more in detail and if u look just as they land she has a mask over her face but it’s the eyes that made me think of her. Just how her eyes look. Not sure how to explain it but I just knew. Either it’s her or she has a sister with similar eye shapes in the military and in Call of Duty. The 3rd person I’m not sure who that would be other then a random sit in or like u said a mil-sim operator.

[@MastermindsHD]

It's set way before the events of Modern Warfare, so it's very unlikely that it's those operators.
