The one part in the Sicario mission was taken from Lone Survivor. COD does right but they do it so wrong and turn it into a crappy Michael Bay movie/ video game in a lot of levels. The all stealth missions in the game are not fun because the ghille suit is fun but there is actually no immersion. If they made stealth mission would want a ghille suit or no ghille suit because you are going to be drenched in it and smelling awful.

[@FunGamingContent]

Either way it is good game.

[@FunGamingContent]

This game takes a lot of storage just to download. It is a lot of storage that it takes

[@FunGamingContent]

There is back to ghost and to T141 and all the main characters in the game. On paper it is good but in game or that one promotion for MW2 in 09 with that video game movie na. It is terrible but the story is good.

[@nathanmitchell7961]

Could you guys do a reaction to the first mission? This is from a more professional play through by a former marine which i think the boys would appreciate kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKrLgWNjed5-mrs

[@ayylmao9907]

the sound queue of "clear" will play when the enemy is killed in that area letting the player know they can progress, so unless you make it look like the room is clear, it will always sound a bit out of place. This obviously isn't super realistic but its for the game to have good flow.

[@nolimitj2161]

Yeah it’s just automated audio, it shouldn’t be and you should have to go into each room and actually clear it though lol

[@BlyatBlaster]

That’s like my only disappointment with these games. Everything else you can run very realistically. But the “clear” is just triggered whenever the last dude is killed. Maybe in the next MW they’ll force you to have to clear each room.

I’d say the mission “kill or capture” is a lot better with the room clearing.

Just in case anyone is wondering, the location in Mexico that takes place in the game is based on Michoacan, Oaxaca, and Guerrero located in Central Western and Southern Mexico that pretty much looks identical to the game. Not all of Mexico is a desert, such as the border states.

[@jorgecervantes3725]

The location in the mountains is based in the mountains of chihuahua. Specifically what is know as "Barrancas del Cobre" or "Copper Canyon".

I've always treated the Call of Duty Campaigns the same way I treat James Bond. Is it realistic? Nope. But it's juuuuuust realistic enough to be somewhat believable so long as you turn your brain off and enjoy yourself. Great breakdown as always.

[@SAVAGEActual]

Agree. Thanks for watching fixer.

[@eclipsewrecker]

Ha the problem is that you turn your brain off….then they pull you into it and you go for the ride and then they throw in a “flying car,” or anti-physics and it disturbs your brain. Maybe you have to keep your brain on and remind yourself it’s going to do that to cut corners.

[@Shinransa]

@@eclipsewrecker Thing is if you turn your brain off and then something far fetched happens it will immediately turn your brain back on and take you out of it, that's when it fails. It's when it keeps you in it or manages to immediately pull you back in that it succeeds and the recent MW games did that well enough, by that I mean they're the only games that try to do that. I mean, so far the new Modern Warfare games are the only first person shooters that have a linear story that also tries to remain as realistic as the game needs to be. Now on the other hand, there was a period of CoD games where it was just mind numbing action where they just did not care about staying grounded in reality and that was dumb.

[@johnlove3461]

you guys have such great chemistry, good to hear you guys. hope all is well.

[@SAVAGEActual]

Thanks John.

[@BlyatBlaster]

In game they’re calling that LMG the “Rapp H.” But it’s supposed to be the HK21. They’ve got a whole HK platform group they’re calling “Lachmann.” Got the HK21, HK33, G3, PSG1, and the MP5.

[@DeNihility]

Apparently they're select-fire HK91, HK93 and HK94 based on the lack of the magazine release at the bottom.

[@simonriley5251]

From what i’ve seen i think the rapp H is more like the scar heavy.

[@BlyatBlaster]

@@simonriley5251 there is literally a SCAR H already. It’s called the “Taq-V.”

[@rafaelalodio5116]

HK 21 right?

[@sergiovardanyan4285]

@@rafaelalodio5116 yeah it is but in the game the gun is called "Lachman 556" and you can gunsmith the gun into different platforms, (DMR, AR, SUB, and LMG)

[@Jay_Sullivan]

This is basically what the inside of my head sounded like when I was watching someone play this. I don't understand why they try to make it feel gritty and grounded but then cram it full of fantasy.

[@jonathanramos8414]

You guys are no fun

[@TheJazzGuy75]

I will give MW2 credit, when the mission started and the player “looked” like he was charging his M4, he was just conducting a press check to confirm a round in the chamber. Every weapon has some animation when you pick it up. So it’s better than rolling up with an empty weapon.

[@HB866-Eight]

The LMG Soap was using in the mission sometime in the start is an HK21 [or something similar to it], which practically is just- AN oversized MP5/G3 with a box mag slapped to it.. It's a cool little exotic weapon.

[@rayray9865]

So in Mexico there is a variety of environments jungles rainforest beaches plains snowy mountainous Pine forests the only thing that Mexico doesn't have is a tundra. Mexico is actually the fourth country with the most biodiversity in the world after Brazil China and Peru. And yes you'd be correct to an extent that the border states of Mexico were desert but in reality they do look like they pictured in this game.

[@pancho4475]

✌🏼

[@TheAnnoyingPest]

Played the game, and…I absolutely loved it, the Mexican missions are my personal favorite, last week I was in the state of Zacatecas for a congress, and I am 80% sure that the fictional city of Las Almas is,at least heavily based on the state of Zacatecas, from the city's architecture to the actual vegetation, topography, climate, the very varied ecosystems, and pinpoint depiction of Mexican Army uniforms(idk about SF or how SAS operates…I simply don't know, like I've had the opportunity to hang around with guys who are Special Forces in the Mexican Navy and yeah, no…umm they talk normally without the military movie clichés, but yeah). The location, the attention to detail creating those levels in the city, it was shocking how accurate it is(it's also Zacatecas, I'm sure of it!) Disclaimer I do not live there, I am Mexican according to most of Americans and I am not according to Mexicans…I personally love both countries(tho, despite the occasional racist xenophobic asshole here in the States, tbh, I've never been actually targeted bc of where I was born with the exception of the country my family and culture are supposedly from, in fact some people hate me just bc I'm American, bc I want military instead of college….but, the game looks amazing and it's worth it(in my opinion). uuuh, you guys are tons of fun to watch, aight.

[@specialopssoldier1]

the part they running down the hill gave me that lone survivor vibe.

[@alphahotel3446]

Whoever wrote/designed this mission got the idea from watching Lone Survivor.

[@SAVAGEActual]

Hahaha, truth.

[@Collins811]

They definitely pull ideas from a lot of movies. Like the embassy mission from the last MW

[@CYB3R2K]

Thing is that it's a reboot, Ghost comes from a older era of gaming when we didn't took games that seriously. He's an iconic character like Sonic or Link, look including, so of course you can't have him in the game looking "realistic"

[@edm240b9]

The game allows you to clear some of those rooms and open the doors, the player recording the gameplay just doesn’t do it. That’s the problem with watching some of these missions, the player doesn’t always act like an operator and it gives a false impression. The game allows you to do it.

[@Beforezzz]

You guy's reaction to these games are always a good time! 😂 Its a healthy reminder that no matter how many "immersive" shooters I play, doesn't equate to knowing jack about how it all really works. Been having alot of fun with MWII nonetheless. 👍

I got this game because I saw them like clearing buildings room by room and it looked so much more realistic than old CoD games, which the last one I really picked up and played was the first Black Ops a decade ago; and I did enjoy this game but I do wish it was less Hollywood, and there was less wacky jumping from vehicle to vehicle taking out like a whole fleet alone. I appreciate the entertainment factor, but I would like them to keep getting more realistic.

[@jasonvoorhees310]

Such a great campaign. Ghost is awesome. Question: is it common for special forces or any soldier for that matter, to want to keep their identity hidden? How accurate is that?

[@pancho4475]

I cannot say anything about the special forces of the United States, but for example, the members of the FER, Fuerza Especial de Reaccion a (special reaction force), usually have their faces covered so that their identity is not in danger and thus the cartels do not attack them and their families.

[@CYB3R2K]

Zero. At best they'll just say "is my business"

[@Pepe-ts9ec]

In a more practical way, yes. Photographs of “operators” often have the faces censored for operational security. But it’s not like Ghost, where they are given an SOP to conceal their face during missions.

[@kimjansson7179]

It doesn't matter how good they make the AI shoot, move and communicate when the player can choose to either go full Rambo or actually use some level of tactics and try to be a little more realistic about it. There is a video that got a lot of views of a former South Korean Naval Special Warfare guy who played the CQB missions from Modern Warfare 2019 that showed one end of the spectrum of play style compared to the other end where people don't clear corners or rooms, shoot through walls and doors and don't identify targets. Enjoyed the video, hope you reacted to a couple other missions too.
