[@KingofAmerica97]

Why won't Treyach or any other COD game company just bring the series back to a historical setting, imagine how many people would get back into their games if they had the next Call of Duty set in WW1. It makes no sense.

[@jamesbatchelor4772]

Agreed 100%

[@Hawkdownn]

Agreed

[@JACOBFLARSEN]

Because, sadly, their WW2 game wasn't such a big success compared to the MW and Black Ops series :/

[@MangoGRC]

Thank you

[@mr.mandude7542]

Because 90% of the player base is underaged little kids, whom do not appreciate good 'ol fashion war...

[@MakoRuu]

I came for the game play footage. But I stayed for the history lesson.

[@Hobbylos26]

+MakoRuu check out hardcore history if you are interested in that kind of stuff he did a great podcast series on the first world war. great stuff :)

[@MakoRuu]

Was it done by Frankie?

[@Hobbylos26]

MakoRuu no

[@noksookao]

+MakoRuu 26 Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon. It's pretty intense and really long but in depth and Dan Carlin is an excellent narrator/commentator/presenter/researcher (don't know which applies best).

[@stoicalneo]

Hello there my fellow loaf

[@1337fraggzb00N]

I have visited Verdun several times. It´s a quite intersting place but also very creepy, beause almost all of the woods around Verdun are still restricted area - they´re full of unexploded ordnance, including poison gas. There is a building called "Verdun Ossuary", its cellar is filled with the remains of thousands of unknown soldiers who were literally blasted into little fragments - after all the fighting, they rest together.

[@razashah6631]

+1337fraggzb00N Damn that's beautiful in a strange sort of way. Soldiers, friend or foe, resting together after the chaos of war...

[@VALCZIU]

+1337fraggzb00N It's true (because i live in verdun)I visited this too because school ^^

[@WeegeeSlayer123]

REST IN DEATH! ! !

[@SAMAKUS]

The weird thing is now (as of June 2015) that there are tons of sheep roaming those areas. Not sure if it was like that before, but it's odd. Do they want the sheep to try and disturb and thus clear the ordnance? Who knows...

[@1337fraggzb00N]

SAMAKUSgamer the fields with grass are ok. Some forests are dangerous :)

[@bentilbrook1607]

When I play Verdun. *spawns in. Stand up. Instantly headshot

[@claytonhilliard925]

+Ben Tilbrook A lot of times that's what happened. New soldiers who had never been in the trenches would look up over the sandbags at no mans land wondering where this war was and what it looked like only to be picked off by snipers.

[@bentilbrook1607]

how does Frankie always get n00bs on the other team. When i play I usually have to use tactics and crawl everywhere so i don't get shot. He just waltzes over the top into no mans land and gets heaps of free kills due to people looking in the complete opposite direction. I lost a few relatives on no mans land myself rip. Do you play Verdun?

[@bentilbrook1607]

***** haha

[@TooCooFoYou]

+Ben Tilbrook Keep in mind this uploaded during Verdun's beta form, so many people haven't bought it yet.

[@viktorbrndsted9912]

+Ben Tilbrook Well, that's basically WWI right there....

[@JoshinoGaming]

I really like this Frankie, very entertaining commentary over this gameplay :D

[@DrunkMuffinHD]

omg Josh i love frankie too :D didnt know you knew about this beast! ;P

[@shaterproofblosm]

I frikin love this guy, I've been listening to Frankie for years :p

[@huzzababy5762]

[@colespeirs4801]

[@f4llen489]

+Gordon Kroman and they laught if someone gets an headshot

[@gordonkroman1211]

The Troll and camp...cus you know you dont have a commanding officer to tell you what to do

[@f4llen489]

Gordon Kroman but camping is realistic in ww1 xd

[@gordonkroman1211]

The Troll there is a difference between holding the line and camping :D

[@skreefgeore6983]

Fun fact: not only did Adolf lose his weapon, he also lost his left testicle.

[@scottcarpenter6054]

Hey, that WAS fun!

[@Tinfoil_Hardhat]

No, he had both just one of them was retracted

he was on the germans side

[@alexdurand3064]

Me to :)

[@mitchellhogg4627]

Jude MacDonald well this is awkward...

[@fxprogaming920]

What i love about this game is that you feel so OP when you realize every single bullet counts

[@Shabadaba1216]

Well, yeah, but that applies to the enemy, too.

[@potatokilr7789]

Imagine how effective shotguns, SMGs, and machineguns are in this game...

[@Billy98Sports]

Hi Frankie, I've recently broke my spine and spent three weeks in Birmingham's children's hospital. I had various operations in there, and saw some very sick children. However I'm now back on my feet! I would like to suggest that some of the money goes to their charity as they save thousands of children. All the best, Billy.

[@TheKryation]

Does anyone else stop anything there doing when Frankie uploads? lols

[@Aryajet-official]

[@B.D.E.]

+Gandolf2222 There´s always one idiot that says this on any video for likes.

[@brockgaston5137]

I think the last time I watched frankie, I was 14... im 20 now. This video just popped out of no where on my recommendations and this takes me back to the good ole days

[@benarcher45]

I miss these War Stories. Please do more, even more modern ones like Falkland War, Vietnam, Korea, 100 Day War, Iraq '90, Iraq '03, Afghanistan, Somalia, Kosovo, etc.

[@ActualFidelCashflo]

OR he can do a few on the snipers of Stalingrad, dont think he did one like that yet has he?

[@TheBeardMachine]

There's a great story about an WW2 Artic convoy that split up and one ship thought it was going to fight a German battle ship so the cargo ship put the tanks on its decks and lay sheets across it so it could ambush it, but the battle ship was never there and it was a miscomunication. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of that story though

[@tomheptinstall]

TheBeardMachine Could it be convoy PQ17?

[@TheBeardMachine]

tom h Yes I think that was it!

[@PaNDaSNiP3R]

I need a WW2 era Battlefield game on next gen..

[@mrawsome08211]

I don't know why all devs have left the ww2 genre and now just make modern shooters and futuristic shooters. Now a game like arma 2 or 3 that is ww2 for console now that would be cool

[@nav967]

If you're interested by COD maybe next year treyarch will make one

[@PaNDaSNiP3R]

VANY that might be the only time id put a cod game into my ps4 haha i loved cod waw back in the day.. but they will prob ruin it with insane killstreaks or some op shit..

[@ablacklegion]

I wouldn't mind someone making a Warhammer 40k game

[@yellowbluerc5047]

You mean on PC as next gen is a joke lol ohh ps4 60 fps ohh a PC for the same money does the same if not better and we have 4k lol "next" gen what a joke

[@dylanw490]

Amagine a history teacher like Franki that would be awesome

[@Anthony-jt2kh]

+Dylan Ward Yeh if only they would show gameplay footage as a demonstration.

[@TooCooFoYou]

Frankie, you made a mistake, the incident between Tandey and Hitler happened in 1918.

[@TooCooFoYou]

***** I read, that's how.

[@MrCatnip11]

+Physic58 and your spelling also states you dont do much reading dumbass :D

[@MrCatnip11]

***** you are saying you are joking because you got butt hurt.

[@REALDEALMMA91]

+cesarmanuel51 o i bet you feel so cool that u corrected him . lmaooo. he is telling us so much its ok to be off a little bit . He nails just about every thing .

[@difficultinterest1582]

+Cooper A-J Games no it lasted to the end of the war

[@Kaftannn]

Proleter! Btw, as far as the trenches photo is concerned - there are some maps of places on the Internet where you can see the georadar photos and compare the rural areas or even towns with how they looked like in 40s or how they look like now WITHOUT trees and greenery etc. Hence you can pretty much see where the trenches were or were military positions could have been. Cool thing :-)

[@OverG88]

Makes me wonder what that soldier Tandey would think if he realized that he sealed destiny of 55 million of people by his decision not to kill Hitler. Oh well...

[@Zaczac111]

And then I wonder how radically worse off our world would be without all the advances in technology that was brought through the war.

[@YellowHouseOnAHill]

***** Geneva Convention was after WWII

[@Morrigi192]

Cameron McIntyre There were two "First Geneva Conventions", and the first was in 1864. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Geneva_Convention. It was also covered in the Hague Convention of 1899.

[@YellowHouseOnAHill]

***** Ok thanks for clearing that up

[@OverG88]

GTiszaczac111 You are a sad person.

[@rumi7018]

I actually used this video for a project in history class about ww1

[@cptant7610]

0:50 A gas mask won't help you against mustard gas.

[@francojpuerta4141]

+CPTANT Thats chloric acid in the game, but yeah you are right

[@markcates1444]

just asking why wouldn't a gas mask help u in mustard gas

[@cptant7610]

mark cates Mustard gas is a gas that also reacts with your skin and forms extremely painful blisters all over your body.

[@MsTobuscus]

it would help but you'd still be fucked

[@judewalker7380]

+CPTANT It would help you survive but you would need a lot more to avoid blisters.

[@CrazedMadManChannel]

Could you do a video on this war story, it begins in the Falklands war, a British aircraft carrier was hit by an argentine missile and was sunk, the British decided to call SAS forces to take out these airbases on South American soil, in the middle of the night SAS flew by helicopter to the landing zone on the beach front, they were detected by argentine forces and they decided to land and abandon the helicopters, a few nights later the SAS got canoes and rowed to the beach front before walking to airbases and destroying any argentine plane, some of the SAS ripped parts off the planes before demolition experts could get to the planes, the argentines got word of the SAS seizing the airbase and sent argentine forces to kill them, the SAS ran back to their canoas when they saw the argentines and started rowing back to a British ship, whilst they were rowing the argentine anti boat cannons started shooting the canoes, the SAS spotted an argentine cargo ship in the darkness with no lights on and hide behind it for cover, the argentines firing blind into the water shoot their own cargo ship and the SAS made it safely back to the British fleet.

[@CrazedMadManChannel]

This is from some documentary I watched once so that's where the facts and stuff are from I'll check it out and see what happened to the ship it might have just been Damaged by the missile I'm not sure

[@CrazedMadManChannel]

I'll try and find the documentary and see what ship but I think you might be right

[@CrazedMadManChannel]

I agree Andrew some very good stories took place in that war

[@Jigglypuff981]

Yep, the Pebble Island raid. If you get the chance, then Peter Ratcliffe's "Eye Of The Storm" might be worth referring to, I'm fairly certain there's some coverage of the Raid in that book :)

[@rockystanaitis2908]

I remember that. The Harrier was brand new then and the star of the show.

[@Deathgrip_JesusChrist]

C'mon I was about to sleep 😭😭

[@DEFYN]

[@Midheaven616]

I have a clear memory of when my history teacher was teaching our class about the trenches. and sir, you've done a wayyyy better job teaching me a thing or two about it then my high school history teacher. haha. i was really interested throughout this whole video. thanks.

[@errol2903]

Frankie. Can you be my history teacher? youll probably be the only teacher who doesnt make people fall asleep. :)

[@Hachiae]

you want a hectic battle in WWI? battle of gallipoli

[@mrTophat3]

the only successful part was the retreat

[@guasypoly280]

dammit for a second i thought you were talking about my battles

[@guyrivington2247]

My great great uncle died in that battle, what a complete failure that mission was....

[@anglovarangoi9176]

Superintendent Ai That was world war two genius.

[@GGNatalie]

Please Dontstalkme Who gave you your history lesson? Its not our bloody fault the ships landed in the wrong place, that is a guilt the British will have to live with. Also we were the first to be sent to our deaths we were just distractions so that the British could get better vantage points against the Turks. British generals sent thousands of unarmed Aussies to there deaths just to end up failing a mission that they had fucked up from the beginning.

[@JoeWuhPuh]

Imagine this game on the scale of Planetside 2

[@JoeWuhPuh]

Sebastian Wittmann Yeah it would be awesome shame we are probably only going to get things like that in AAA games

[@firebluestudios]

Sebastian Wittmann Yeah... if PS2 wasn't so hard to run on high settings with high fps... D;

[@pug9431]

As much as a I want a very graphically pleasing WWII game, I always seem to prefer the classic Medal of Honor/CoD WAW style graphics for WWII games.

[@oziokany8753]

tell a story about Simo Häyhä a Finish sniper who fought against russia in the finlands winterwar in world war 2 ps:sorry for bad english

WE NEED ANOTHER WW1/WW2 GAME. WHY ARE ALL OF THE SHOOTER GOING INTO THE FUTURE NOW????

[@urwifuistrash]

We've never had a good ww1 shooter like this, but there are hundreds of ww2 games.

[@cptn.falcon5507]

WhyNotZoidberg I guess not many people enjoy bolt action.

[@BlueEyesWhiteTeddy]

Because we've learned from the past, hopefully. And we're trying to get over it.

[@AsamiImako]

Because before all the shooting games started going to the future, they all went to WWII, and people like you said "WE NEED ANOTHER FUTURISTIC GAME. WHY ARE ALL OF THE SHOOTER GOING INTO WWII????"

[@plasticbazooka]

Because you write in caps. Actually it's because asshats think that modern means next gen (whatever the fuck that means) and future means, I don't know, mecha-next-gen? The thinking is that WW2 games are what old (RE: 27+) gamers play and they don't want us, they want the elusive child market.

[@kadenater123]

I love how you put real information about these games and their backstories in your gameplays.

[@minecraftlucas007]

your intos and outros are the best video vibe startes as well as the short little skits you do.

[@Revanmightspear]

It is not officially or 100% sure who started using chemical gas in WW1. Germany lost and got the blamed so conviniently by the Entente. Be open-minded.

[@sheiber]

History is written by the winners^^

[@Revanmightspear]

Sheiber Yes and that is exaclty why we should think again when reading history. History never lies, historians on the other hand ...

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

You're actually only half right. Historians are sure who first used gas, it just wasn't the Germans. Instead, it was the French. But, yes, Germany did get blamed for it.

[@Revanmightspear]

Kurt Yarish You must consider this ! France had a bloody nose already from 1871 when the Germans defeated France in a 1v1 battle. France was desperate to win the war by any means to avoid such a disaster to happen again. But nevertheless not a single bullet has fallen on German soil. The Germans have pushed so fast so far that the entire war was fough in Belgium and France. Germany didn't lose the war on the front but back home. The delegation for a peace treaty was made of generals and statesmen. A cease-fire has been issued so the German delegation can come speak to the allies but the allies saw how just 2 or 3 guys ( can't remember details) has come and they should have waited for the rest but they didn't and pressured the statesmen wothout the generals to sign the treaty in which britain insisted in keeping the northern naval blockade which killed 4 million German by starvation because they stopped transport of food and clothing for months. Germany was stabbed in the back.

[@the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

I agree with you that Germany was treated very harshly at the end of the war. Its unfair what the Allies did to them.

[@JD-ow5zm]

The old lie; Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.

[@ParanormalAndroid]

That's not from "Anthem for Doomed Youth", but it's a great poem nonetheless.

[@JD-ow5zm]

Shakespeare has nothing on Wilfred Owen. ;)

[@ParanormalAndroid]

Uh, both 'Dulce Et Decorum Est' and 'Anthem for Doomed Youth' are Owen's work, but okay then. .-.

***** 8K is the limit now.

[@pierrelopez7986]

If you look closely you can see the shadow or shaded figures of who is sniping.

[@B__L]

[@gabenplznerf1093]

[@jaygoodwin6287]

Thank you for that history lesson. I've learnt more from you than I have ever learnt from school haha

[@simonforrest5148]

*correction a gas mask would not save you from mustard gas

yup it was originally made for other types of gas the mustard gas would go right through clothes to your skin

Its really amazing how big a difference one person can make. Just think how much different things might have been if that guy had shot Hitler when he was crossing the road...

[@s7robin105]

+hAzArDzOnE the nazis where still around. But for all we know they may have ended up with a more strategic leader who understood how to win a war.

[@moardub]

S7Robin Thats true you never know things could have been worse =P

[@zonkeymaker]

+Jay Ixer and world war 2 might have been inevitable but not even close to being the same war as it was. Also, many Jews would not have fled Germany like Albert Einstein and we wouldn't have gotten German scientists for our space program. Completely different world. Also who knows how long it would've taken for us to discover nuclear power. Crazy...

[@DMSBrian24]

+Tactical Gunzz not at all, germany was up on its legs within few years, they deserved to lose the occupied eastern land and while the western border change was unjustified, it wasn't a bloody reason to start a war over... unless you're a nazi

[@DMSBrian24]

+zonkeymaker true, and i dare say twould be better

[@zeenofin5234]

My great Grandfather use to tell me stories of his experience at Vimy Ridge as a Canadian solider

[@garrettporter3486]

Like Martin treptower he wrote in his diary in WW1 "America must win this war, therefore I will work, I will save, I will sacrifice, I will endure, I will fight cheerfully and do my utmost as if the whole struggle depended on me alone."

[@Nico-bd4cg]

I wish you were my history teacher

[@sloakz]

Great game this, wonder if on xmas day they will have a in game truce

[@TheHippotail]

***** Maybe the Devs could release a one-day Patch that replaced weapons with sports equipment and barber tools (is that the right term for hair-cutting tools?) EDIT: This was a joke, I'm not being serious

[@ultimatum117052]

They do, they have it for like 3 days, last year you got to throw snowballs at each other.

[@samblues7982]

Last christmas there was snow, 'football', snow balls everyone had funny hats and the chat(s) were humerous and entertaining. Hopefully we will see the same again!

[@TooCooFoYou]

***** Luckily, the developers had all players not use weapons, the only thing you can do as far as shooting or throwing things is throwing snowballs.

[@sergeantbigmac]

Excellent commentary on this one Frankie! Very informative and well spoken. Not everyone might like it, but for us history buffs the information heavy dialogue is appreciated.

[@JS-ue2si]

Great video. Love the commentary. But just want to clarify, by the time the Christmas Truce rolled around in 1914, both sides of the war had lost hundreds of thousands of men. In fact, the British Empire almost lost their entire professional army and resorted to recruiting untrained young men. The Germans did the same and suffered greatly as thousands of untrained men who never even fired a weapon until battle perished at the first battle of Ypres. Regardless, the point is, the men involved in the Christmas Truce were far from inexperienced by that point. Each of them had significant battle experience. The Christmas Truce truly was a miracle.

[@kodemasterx]

Awesome stuff... you should post a war story video ever week.

[@konkola3295]

Do some Battlefield 3 as a throwback

[@konkola3295]

Or even BFBC2. Just any game you haven't played in a while.

[@konkola3295]

Make it a series. Upload on Thursday to have the excuse to call it Throwback Thursday.

[@PunchaGames]

Doubt a lot of people would enjoy it. Its all about the here and now, you know?

[@Bradztar117]

PunchaGames Gaming I honestly prefer BF3 over BF4 at this point so i wouldnt be opposed to seeing BF3 gameplay

[@xSCHEF]

PunchaGames Gaming It's about Frankie first, and as if people don't enjoy watching old games lmfao.

[@TheDatpussy]

Lol when I came here I was not expecting a history lesson but that I think is the reason I stayed. Good job

[@MrBread82]

Great voiceover, very informative. Game looks pretty damn solid too. Love the rifle reloading animation with the strip clip.

[@Ben10cool932]

Nice i knew about verdun now I know more. Nice video you got so many kills!

[@QuentinTarantino420]

Frankie i just want to say you are truly an amazing guy, just for the fact that we share a common interest. That would be history, the fact that you make these war stories, just shows it all. History is important and i have a big interest in knowing what happened before my time.

[@Yorkiie]

Sorry to hear about that, man. It's not nice losing people close to you, especially at such a young age.

[@KingKhanate1997]

Respect due bro.

battlefield 1 hype

[@Nathan-gs9yc]

Yes!

[@bkackmagic555]

Skelotor Skelotor yes

[@Lakarak]

My hype for Battlefield 15 has gone down alot.

[@gavine6833]

+Lakarak 15???

[@Lakarak]

Gavin Edgerton Yes, 15. Can't you read?

[@DrewandersonSheParD1414]

Please do more of these. I love these history lesson you do while playing so old ww2 games

[@davidzarnke6154]

Really enjoy listening to you talk history in these vids great stuff

[@danzigrulze5211]

You said, "armada of troops," I had to laugh a bit..

[@BeauBullockJustCallMeBrock]

Yeah, armadas are ships lel

[@kpg4121]

I wish consoles would come out with some new ww1 and ww2 games

[@briancox7875]

I know it's just a gaming video, but it interesting to view the game and listen to Frankie at the same time. His running commentary on the game and the time that it's set in, is quite entertaining.

[@TwiztdMilkman]

Probably my favorite story you've told. Very interesting.. Thanks for posting

[@Sloveniacountry]

9/10 survived... You know... Until Frankie came...

[@BoarhideGaming]

Frankie, have you played "Valiant Hearts"? It is about WW1 as well, although entirely different gameplay, and it's one of the most beautiful and heart warming games I've played in the last 10 years.

[@willianmkd909]

Lol he has played.

[@BoarhideGaming]

Wilijan Mkd Did he do a video on it? If so I must've missed it

[@jacobgrainger8204]

BoarhideGaming yes

[@TheMilitaryMelon]

He has check his older vids!

[@gardasphaug6459]

BoarhideGaming He did a video of it back in June or July this summer i think

[@VCJacka]

The WW1 setting is full of amazing war stories. In particular for me, Capt. Albert Jacka VC, MC and Bar (also the man behind my username). He was the first Aussie to win the VC in WW1 and arguably should be the only soldier to earn 3. He was often considered to be "Australia's Greatest Frontline Soldier". Often he was severely wounded and unexpected to survive only to return to lead the 14th Battalion "Jacka's Mob" once again. Despite all this he had no hatred for the enemy but rather a respect for their fighting abilities similar to the respect between sportsmen. Frankie can you please do a story on Bert as you haven't done one on an Aussie yet and Bert would make a great starting point. Thank you

[@antdrz7366]

Great video, loved the history facts throughout A**

[@templarknight5557]

Frankie is a professional gamer not a historian. Some of his information may not be precise, but at least it is always interesting and not self publicising like most of the others.

[@pixelgamer2579]

I have some gameplay of this game up. So far there is no commentary, but I will soon enough. Check it out!

[@gavine6833]

Look at all gaming KZbinrs they are all apparently historians now

[@templarknight5557]

You forgot to add " self publishing " as well...lol The trend to post showing themselves in a box at the corner of the screen, is as annoying as it is dumb.....Luckily Frankie & Sada have not done this yet.

[@AxiomGamingYT]

World war 2 was Henrys fault.... #henrydunfuckedup

[@arju6996]

FranTic As Henry spared Hitler's life, he knew that he fucked up.

[@Lane2045]

Frankie teaches me more on youtube about history than I learn in school.

[@zdsguitar]

I'm a big time history buff and love studying about historical wars and this is probably the most educational gameplay I have ever watched lol XD Great work!

[@DeltaWolf1000]

Frankie you should have a look at the stories from the ANZACs (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) at Gallipoli for your next war story

[@WWE1MINECRAFT2]

That would be good because I'm from New Zealand and sadly don't know much about it

[@DeltaWolf1000]

xST4RT3GYx I'm an Australian, that's why I suggested it. They definitely gave it their all. Lest we forget the ANZACs

[@atakan2255]

im turkish and yes it would have been good

[@DeltaWolf1000]

Atakan Remzi Dezkaya Never "met" any one from Turkey. Haven't really learned much about the Turks at Gallpoli, I mostly know about our boys. Though I do know this quote from a book which was said by a Turkish Captain "At this spectacle even the most gentle must feel savage, and the most savage must weep"

[@atakan2255]

DeltaWolf1000 there was a lieutenant colonel in the turkish army his name was atatürk and after the ww1 he bring us democrasi and he was our first president he has a quote about anzaks at the gallipoli ''You, the mothers, who sent their sons from faraway countries wipe away your tears; your sons are now lying in our bosom and are in peace, after having lost their lives on this land they have become our sons as well."

[@JRayC]

Coming ps4 this will keep me going until battlefield 1.

[@crazygaming49]

Same

[@pokerclown7922]

Same, actually might end up playing this just as much

[@xxaussiegamerxx5071]

It was also coming to Xbox but it was held back

[@andrewharvey1777]

I would say add me, but the game is plagued with glitches revolving around playing with friends

[@DarkshadowXD63]

I here it's super dead on consoles

[@gmancman6480]

Awesome video man! I found this story very interesting!

[@liamcarroll4275]

The most educational gaming video I've ever seen 10/10

[@S13Egg]

Henry Tandy really fucked up

[@sebastianchantre3152]

+Derp Alerte 488 But if Henry didn't have a morale code, alot of people would have lived. One action of horror could mean the lives of millions.

[@bosscascade5566]

+Sebastian Chantre some king of second war with Germany would have happened either way

[@sebastianchantre3152]

Perhaps, but still

[@MichaelDelvalle-nt4gp]

+S13Egg yup

[@aboutsoundandvision]

Man this game looks sick

[@cartoonmikeez6648]

+M1Garandstudios It's actually even better now they have added a lot more details to it. Also their is an incredible depth of field option. The game does look and play the part. I am hooked.

[@aboutsoundandvision]

Cartoon Mikeez What have they added?

[@cartoonmikeez6648]

M1Garandstudios I just said dude. Graphics are tonnes better looking now.

[@aboutsoundandvision]

Cartoon Mikeez Any new features? Like new game modes? Sorry if I wasn't clear.

[@cartoonmikeez6648]

M1Garandstudios Not sure what game modes were there before. But there are four game modes at the minute. But it only needs one. Trench warfare. :)

[@dahutba]

I've been waiting for one of these for sooo long :D

[@zipperneckkids]

Awesome ! Thanks so much for the lesson in History

[@rouslantangborn183]

Slightly incorrect version of what really happened

[@ILYSNAF]

You know about the story of Hitler and the British soldier.I have heard and been asked a few times "If you knew that person would cause WWII would you kill him?"...I also want to know what you people would do as well.But for me I couldn't know.So if I saw some unarmed German soldier I wouldn't shoot him.Cause there is no honor in killing a unarmed person.Enemy soldier or otherwise.

[@threadingRobiin]

I just wonder how the british soldier knew later on he let hitler go? How was it possible for the papers to write an article about a british soldier sparing hitlers life ??

[@SourceBTS]

I agree with you. Sparing his life was a noble thing to do and I like to believe I would have done the same. There is no legit argument to support the British soldier shooting an unarmed, wounded enemy, as he was of no threat to anyone at that point. Yes, he would later grow to become one of the vilest men in history, but that was not the same guy as the wounded soldier in the streets of that town.

[@threadingRobiin]

Jonas Lindqvist and i mean how could hitler recognize the Britse soldier in a picture in the newspaper? I personally think this is just a bit over the top storie that has developed over the last 100 years.

[@jonaslindqvist9044]

ThreadingRobiin D. I would say it is like many movies, "based on a true story" some parts are probably true but everything have rrobably made a bigger scene than what happened in ww1. Like Hitler probably didn't have a poster of the soldier or recognizing that its him

[@J0sh-]

No I would tell him to not shoot because without world war 2 there would be no human rights and the world would be a fucking shit pile of leaders treating there nations people like crap

[@jeune_turc9404]

Most of the British soldiers came back cuz Brits used Indians, ANZACs and Africans mostly.

[@murphyslaw6694]

Great video I actually learned a lot from this video.

[@freezeypop7700]

Yeah same

[@joeysephy]

This is the first of his videos I've ever watched, not sure what I was expecting but I don't think I was ready for such well-informed and interesting commentary. Have a sub!

[@karmakoala1506]

imagine this kind of stuff in BF5

[@andrewcabral7232]

thats why im here tbh

[@bkackmagic555]

+Andrew Cabral it is now

[@andrewcabral7232]

+Vault Boy just saw, you know how fucking happy i am right now

[@bkackmagic555]

Andrew Cabral pretty happy omg it's gonna be awesome

[@bkackmagic555]

Andrew Cabral imagine like sniping with a bolt action then seeing the plane fly out the sky and crash like into a trench

[@BFHDuFu]

Just thinking about the fact that Henry coudl've saved 6 million lives by taking one.

[@4230Steef]

If he knew, he would probably shoot him twice.

[@HTKCsoitpasdeg]

4230Steef Rule N°2 of Zombieland : Double tap !

[@TheHippotail]

He actually might have saved lives by not shooting Hitler. If he hadn't started the War, the Soviets would have probably started one at some point. And considering how similar in quality most Allied weapons and vehicles during WWII were, it would probably have turned into a "who has more people to throw into the meat grinder" kind of war, which the Soviets probably would have won.

[@datboivenom]

Taking the life of 1 wounded and defenseless man would still make him no better the man than that of Hitler....regardless of the reparations.

[@BFHDuFu]

Trying to make a joke and you get all this serious bullshit back, what a world.

[@CocoMuggGames]

Now I can say I learned something over my Summer Holiday :D Thanks for the cool WWI facts!

[@jerryhymes5025]

" That is probably the most somber notes I've ever ended a video on, So I won't " Ends the video right when he dies. To funny lol
