My favorite part of this retrospective was the exploration of how Soldiers had historically been trained to fire the 1911, compared to current training on usage. That context added good depth to the video, showing the kind of image that each iteration plays off of.

[@baker90338]

One small detail in the difference in the sights with cod 4 over previous COD games was that they now use Novak style sights over the classic m1911a1 sights. The Nickle plated variant may just be stainless. In the cod mw 2 footage it appears to have a extended grip safety, a classic detail of more modern 1911’s. The cod black ops variant is nickle plated, as that was thought to be corrosion resistant. It’s also a series 70, which is the most lusted after, as it doesn’t have a firing pin safety.

[@Simok1234]

Interesting that you threw the tidbit about the Black Ops Wii version as one of the few that played it that way back in the day. Some other minor detail with the pistol in this version is that it actually is held in one hand (like all pistols in the game in this version iirc). If you use motion pointer controls, you can actually twist the Wii Remote to tilt the gun sideways! They might've opted to make the pistols one handed to give this feature more of a noticeable impact on the pistols.

[@DespyCL]

Keep it up, man, you're one of the few channels that can drop a thirty minute to an hour long video and I'll find myself watching the entire thing and wondering where the time went, despite the subjects seeming mundane, your personality, and the way you present them, never seems to get old! Not to mention your eagle eye in spotting certain details, as well as background on certain things, just boils the video down into an easy to watch cocktail filled with lots of detail- but not nearly too much- and enough to keep someone entertained on a boring day.

[@omegawolfbrony]

Holy cow! Original Call of Duty footage. Man, I remember saying the first two COD games were my favorite that I've played and the person thought I was talking about MW or Black Ops.

[@taintsmacker4008]

Another little goof that often happens in the games with the 1911 is the hammer not moving during the firing animations. Another common one is in the sound design. In some of the games, like CoD 3, the 1911's gunshot is accompanied by a crack. The .45 ACP is a subsonic round and should never crack. Personally, my favorite rendition is either the og Black Ops one or the MW2019 model.

[@badzombie0135]

Really loved this format being brought into another franchise. Great stuff Taras.

[@dr.pastrami5272]

Joel Emslie was the chief animator for IW during MW2019, COD4 & MW2. He was also one of the OGs that left with Vince and Jason when they made Respawn. His work speaks for itself. MW2019 is the gold standard when it comes to models, sound, and animations.

[@tnbass2833]

What gets me about 1911s in games is how the main hands thumb is always under the thumb safety. Almost all gun handling teachers preach riding non support thumb on top of the thumb safety to avoid possible pushing it up during recoil. You would think that animation could work.

[@anthonyl5425]

Completely agree.

[@2worldwars792]

Great video! The 1911 is my favorite handgun, and I always love to see it in video games, especially Call of Duty. MW2019's recreation of the Kimber Custom TLE RL II is GORGEOUS! Fun fact: The M1911 in CoD4 incorrectly has the hammer up before firing.

The M1911. If there ever was a pistol that defined what a pistol really was, then you look no further than this 100 year strong sidearm. Truly, it is the pistol that defined the sidearm faction of firearms for years on end.

[@MaxwellAerialPhotography]

No, the earlier Browning FN 1900 and 1903 models defined that shape and function of the modern handgun, so much so that for a few decades after the debut of the FN 1900, autoloading pistols were often referred to colloquially as "la pistole browning" or simply "brownings".

[@pepper-0ni-t1m]

@@MaxwellAerialPhotography Yes, but ultimately it was the 1911 that really stood out among the peers as a whole. Granted, I do believe that his designs beforehand were stellar, but his 1911 was the one that really catapulted his name into the history books.

[@Comkill117]

4’s is the most nostalgic personally. 3 was my first CoD, but 4 was the game that got me into the series, and having the 1911 be the gun that took out Zakhaev in the game’s ending made it one of the most iconic weapons of the game. World At War’s is also really cool for how shitty it looks, in a good way. It looks like a gun that saw thorough use throughout the war before you got your hands on it, and fit the more horror tone of the game and fit Zombies perfectly.

[@legalam]

Fun fact, Harrison Ford was taught the current military tactics at the time when he was shooting his blaster in star wars as Han Solo, one handed and his other hand out for balance, that’s how soliders and police were trained to shoot a pistol. Also in Call of Duty 3 the 1911’s slide doesn’t lock back when you’re out of ammo.

[@Mike-1911]

I think this is an interesting start to including non-Halo weapons to this video series, although I’ve always feel like the Slabslide is usually overshadowed when it comes to other handguns (and this is coming from someone who has three of them). As far as visual appearances in COD games I preferred the more “realistic” look since CoD supposed to be based on somewhat realistic events (to a point) also I think it’s more realistic when it doesn’t have a shiny surface

[@cursedhawkins1305]

Just a bit of trivia about how Call of Duty even came into existence, the developers were literally some of the creative minds behind some of the Medal of Honor games, so if anyone has any memorable MoH games, the guys that would later become Infinity Ward were likely the ones that gave you those memories.

[@HeWhoComments]

[@Sigmundfries]

I loved the Cold War 1911 for one simple reason: the way the character racks the slide with their hand when doing an empty reload. I'm not sure if there is a benefit to doing that over pressing the slide release, but that extra flair just adds an extra layer of "cool" to the weapon that other games lack imo.

[@juanrosano4843]

Yeeesssss. A surprise, to be sure. But a welcomed one. If you do this for more games/guns your channel is gonna blow up

My favorite is 1000% the Black Ops 1 variation. That firing sound is absolutely badass. And, if I recall correctly, it sounds exactly like a .50 cal fired from Brandon Herrera's AK-50. While it's unrealistic for it's caliber, I love it regardless. It makes it feel more powerful than it is. Although I do like the Vanguard model, mainly the spikey sights. If I had to choose a second place for the pistol, it'd be Cold War.

[@quickscopeoneeighty9158]

So it was taught to be shot one handed at first, but shooter performance increased as soon as troops started using two hands (mostly due to the weight of the gun and the amount of recoil it produced when fired.) It was held with the shooter's firing hand in the regular firing position and their support hand cupped under the magazine clasping the shooting hand. This was once again modified from the cupped hands to the more common nowadays double hand clasp around the grip
