After he sees the civies trying to fight , you can hear the cool head start to crack, and that's when he starts getting really frantic. Once it passes 30% he goes from "we can't take much more fire, we need assistance / support" to "we're about to be overrun, we need *help*"

For those who didn’t hear, one of the soldiers on the radio calls for “Broken Arrow”.

That's actually kind of false. The only branch of the Us military that officially use "broken arrow" as a code word is the Us Air force, and it is a code word for losing a nuke. However during the battle of la Drang in vietnam. The Us Army allegedly used that codeword to request immediate air support. This use is not codified by any manual or any official documentation, and if it was used in that way it was a local codeword, not something universal to the US army or even the whole vietnam war. It is even reallistically possible that this is just myth probably born from confusion or people misremembering things. As the actual only written source for that use is the memoir "We Were Soldiers Once… and Young" written in 1992 by y Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore and war journalist Joseph L. Galloway. But the truth doesn't really matter for the rest of the explanation, in both case that use of the codeword broken arrow only gain popularity thanks to the book and then later the movie "We were soldier". Since then it is is a pretty common misconception among military enthusiast and even real soldier that broken arrow is the offical codeword for an allied position getting overrrun.

It's sad to say but there will never be another mission like this in Call Of Duty again. I remember playing this for the first time when I was younger and never really thought any of the mission. Don't get me wrong, I thought it looked great on the 360 but just played through it like any other mission, shooting enemies and following the yellow marker. But as I have gotten older and I look back on this mission both in terms of the original and remastered version, I realise how unsettling and sad the level is. When I played the remaster and got to this level, I really took my time taking in my surroundings, looking at all the buildings were on fire and destroyed in the distance, the sky covered in pitch black smoke, watching Ramirez's fellow soldiers either holding their position, protecting an area, or pushing forward to retake buildings from the Russian Spetsnaz. As I walked out of the bunker and see the destruction to the various buildings and cars nearby, I think to myself how the civilians were just going about their day not realising what was to come. I know I'm probably just thinking way to deeply into it but that's how much the mission impacted me both in the original and remaster. 'Of Their Own Accord' is my second favourite COD Campaign mission of all time, just behind All Ghillied Up. One of the things I plan to do at some point is visit the United States and go to Washington, D.C. and see it for myself in person. The level design of this missions is something else and has made me want to visit the US since. I really hope that Infinity Ward pull something like this off again but as I said, I don't think there will be another mission like this again in Call Of Duty.

Nah instead in the reboot we get this rag-tag team and you can barely call it war, plus the plot was very uninteresting. Better off calling it COD Ghosts.

[@brianmead7556]

My family including me all live in the DC area. Arcadia in the game isn’t a real place but it looks a lot like the suburbs around Washington. And even worse for me personally, I work in private armed security in the area, so I would get pulled into this and near certainly killed. At the very least I would be expected to join in the fighting. I don’t know if anyone here has kept up with recent news, but the prospect of fighting the Russians is absolutely terrifying. They can be outnumbered 3:1 by troops trained and armed to our standards and yet still advance, inflicting multiple enemy casualties for every one they take; fighting them is a death sentence. The three of us here at our building with just soft vests and handguns would stand no chance. Even if we did surrender we’d probably be killed just to ensure we didn’t do anything.

I’d be so pissed; trying to rock ‘n’ roll with my fancy gun and some motherfucker steals it from right under my face!

[@edm240b9]

People talk about the evac site, but they forget to mention one of the helicopter carrying them was unfortunately shot down. You actually can see the dialogue subtitled in the remastered version of civvie transport going down and then the audio cuts out. Not to mention later when Price sets off that EMP, all the helicopters that were possibly carrying the evacuated civilians went down as well.

[@rikkitikkitavvi]

Evac site: THEY GOT IN THE EVAC SITE! WE LOST THE CIVVIES! NOOOOOOOOO! Ramirez: look at the funny fireworks

[@kdera7698]

Damn, the evac site dialogue really makes you regret not doing anything just to see what happens

[@Dwarfskindabetter]

Idk if this is true but I heard the audio you hear from evacuating civs to troops over run, basically any background radio of that nature was actual ex-radio operators and IW hired them for the role and when ya listen to it on like KZbin videos where people have grabbed files it's insanely well done and sad really puts a perspective on it

[@samuel10125]

I'm British and playing the US section for me I just can't explain the feeling seeing the US under invasion watching the US military fight so hard seeing monuments destroyed it's so sureal it gives you goosebumps and so many emotions from anger to sadness. Also having to open fire on the WW2 memorial sucks this whole is just emotional

This and the embassy mission from MW 2019 are the cream of the crop.

[@grimalldenfay3375]

When I first played MW2 I didnt let the evac fall, I kept slamin rounds into targets even after that timer popped up

[@enriquetachias920]

When I first played this mission it was intense and felt personal even though it was a game

[@Yittlewoofa18321]

I actually went out of my way to change the outcome concerning the SEALS on the rooftop. I made sure to refill my claymores before the dash to the roof begins, and layered them all the way up. If you do this and then make sure to stick around longer to defend against the Russian soldiers, eventually they stop coming up. Obviously this may not actually matter. Normally you see Russian troops following as you take off. If you do this though, the only thing that happens is the SEALS shoot down the hind that arrives. No Russian soldiers arrive as you leave so I like to think Ramirez did such a good job at booby-trapping the way up that the seals actually make it off the roof

[@IceWater.]

I tried doing this but it never worked for me

[@ichangedmyusernamebecausei2551]

I wish the new cod mw2 had missions like this instead of having everything all covert ops and trying way too hard to make the main characters all badass and invincible. I wish it had some missions like in the og mw trilogy where there’s constant radio chatter and gunfire everywhere with orders being shouted one after another

[@Epsilon-18]

I think the two Navy SEALS were evacuated by the Little Birds seen loitering around.

1:48 whenever a soldier says Broken Arrow, you know its catastrophic

[@1stGameerMan]

At 1:40 that's not the Evac site. Those are different positions throughout DC being over run and calling for help, or requesting a 'Broken Arrow' which is, as they said, an arty and air strike on their position. Basically, it is only used if they are surrounded, and death or capture is imminent. Listing to that chatter is the story of DC unfolding in other parts of the city as Russian troops advance without mercy. The 'we are leaving DC, we are leaving DC!!' At the very end was the final order to evacuate, the city is lost.

[@the_not_real_bigboss]

That *"NOOOOOOOO"* felt so genuine man 😥

[@bellstone4569]

One of the parts in the mission is were you leave the guy on the rooftop and it's sad everytime I wish he came with us

[@danscott3880]

"Broken Arrow" The last thing you wanna hear over the Coms

[@Eugene_Black]

What does Broken Arrow mean?

[@kylebrady969]

@@Eugene_Black As I understand Broken Arrow is pretty much, 'all hell has broken loose and the unit calling it in needs any and all (and they really mean that) support assets right that instant.' For example any aircraft/helicopters operating within the area of the broken arrow call are diverted to provide cover. The 2002 film We Were Soldiers shows this, but I wouldn't know if that radio call has changed meaning in modern times.

[@codysmith6617]

@@kylebrady969 in this instance, the soldier calling “broken arrow” is saying they’re completely overrun then you hear him say to direct all fire onto their position. Basically killing themselves in an effort to kill as many of the enemy as possible

[@Someone74735]

​@@Eugene_BlackIn reality "broken arrow" being called is much worse than a unit being overrun. When it's called it means the United States has lost a nuclear weapon or other wmd or nuclear weapons or other wmds are being deployed by hostile forces.

[@fakhritheawesomekid6216]

Man i thought those guys on the roof were gonna be picked up by other little birds instead of being left, i literally question that for years

There were some Little Birds loitering around. Probably evacee by those as soon as the Hind got shot down.

[@kingfisherfishys9272]

Modern Warfare 2 2009 has more emotion being put into the game rather than the recent cod, especially at 6:49

[@g.D1776]

Imagine getting into battalion as a private and your first op is defending the white house.

[@thegameradic8916]

Imma be honest. This mission really put chills in my spine and it takes a lot for games to give me that. This mission was truly dark especially the setting and tone it has

[@edgarbanuelos6472]

100% would love to see a cod game that dives further into this. Like, maybe you're an off-duty police officer at a convenience store when the bombs start flying. You step out and the whole town has gone amok like the beginning of Red Dawn. You try to guide panicked civilians while trying to get in contact with other officers, but you're not prepared for this type of thing. Upon the first glimps of the enemies you're up against, it dawns on you. The country is being attacked.

[@hyouka_unforgiven]

This game has been one of my favorites since my childhood days. Suddenly, when I watched this video to see the full explanation of this episode, I never knew this would lead to disturbing and chilling...

[@madbarracuda706]

In the evac site lines, you can slowly start to hear more gunfire getting closer and closer implicating that the bad guys are right at their doorstep.

[@CDNBreadDogs]

During the last Evac site transmission you can hear a pistol firing, meaning either the comms guy himself has run out of ammo and is using the only weapon he has left to defend the civies, or the civies themselves had to arm up with anything they could

[@boomcrash0724]

You can hear the urgency increase in the guy’s voice as the evac site slowly gets overrun. This game is a masterpiece

[@CT_97]

They just simply don’t make content like this anymore, the sheer detail. All of us as young bucks played this and will never forget.

[@yasosd]

4:32 The evac site dialogues were really impressive, now I want to play it again.

[@phantomuchiha5062]

Are we gonna respect that in MW there is that one soldier get shot in the head while carrying javelin..and Sgt.Griggs asked Sgt Paul Jackson to pick it up and destroy the tanks?

[@AL3XIOS141]

It's sad and I played mw2 back then and now that I heard what would've happen if I didn't help them makes me glad I did:(

[@LS3_Jaden]

If you look up Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Of Their Own Accord mission radio chatter, you’ll find everything. It sounds so real it’s unbelievable. Saddest things are on that radio chatter though. Here’s a fact, the part of the mission where the solider says “2-2 is down!” and “our MK-19 is down” was actually based off real communication out of Iraq in 2005 during the Iraq War. Just 4 years after the September 11th attacks. Obviously the communication was edited a little bit to add some Washington D.C features to it. I think the communication was based out of Ramadi, Iraq or Baghdad. Rumor is, a Marine squad of 12 part of an unknown battalion was ambushed by enemy RPG’s to the west of their position. One ATASV (Armored Attack and Support Vehicle) was hit directly and 2 marines were instantly killed. As they were making their way to the east, one marine was shot and later died. You now have 3 marines KIA which is a big no no. They held off in a building (most likely in Baghdad) and were then attacked by an enemy technical (a technical in military term is a armored enemy militarized pickup truck with a machine gun or some sort of engagement weapon on the back that is used to support infantry by laying down heavy fire nonstop) so and so on later, you have more casualties. That’s when they called it. Now, broken arrow is only used as a term when nuclear or biological weapons are detonated or stolen. But, this was different the marines called in a QRF (Quick reaction force) and requested assistance from nearby units. It was a all call and a slaughterhouse. Nearly a hour later, a whole marine squad showed up with EVAC and only no one was alive. I’m not saying this is true nor real but I thought it would be interesting to share. The rumors came in and I’m sure 90% of the communication did actually come from Iraq or Afghanistan. Saddest shit though. I would feel like hell having to go through all this.

Remember when COD did good campaigns? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Imagine being 7 years old and hearing the evac site dialogue, _including the cut parts._ I think it'll haunt you for a long time.

[@hoseinmz645]

Okay...okay...as i'm writing this i'm currently at 6:17 and i can't watch one more second... I literally can't describe how i'm feeling...i have never been in the middle of a firefight or a war before, but hearing the guy's voice from the evac sight get more and more frantic as everything progresses while hearing fire from guns,artillery, and worst of all,civilian screams that are gut wrenching. It sends so many chills throughout my body that i can't even watch the video anymore...i honestly just wanna walk away and forget that any of this ever happened... It's gotten to a point that i actually wanna cry,having heard all this tragedy and fear and chaos in these audio files. Now you might be saying 'well this is just a video game and it's all pure fiction' and "I" would agree; But at the same time my subconscious says a big F you to me and still terrifies me anyway... Never in my life have i ever felt so scared that i actually had to pause the video to digest what i just heard and felt... I think for good reason the developers decided not to put this in the game and i'm so glad they didn't. Btw this is not some generic comment you would see on a daily basis under a comment section,i genuinely mean what i said... I hope there are still writers out there that can still convey this overwhelming sense of dread and fear to the consumer. I love Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2's campaign.

There were lots of hysterical screams from children and mothers

The civilians taking up arms line is interesting as you can find destroyed technicals in some areas, evidence of a civilian resistance group.
