Shepherd and Menendez had legitimate reasons, Makarov's goal went from revenge to power, Rorke broke and was brainwashed to the point he wouldn't believe the Ghosts looked for him even if they told him that. You honestly feel bad for Shepherd and Menendez. The former lost 30,000 troops and he couldn't do anything to stop it. The latter lost his only family. It's hard not to understand why they became villains. Great loss for both them made them become villains.

[@Slash4747]

True. I love it when writers make you sympathize for the antagonists, even though the "I lost everything" trope is used in one form or another. I believe it's in the way it integrates in the story, like in Shepherd, where you know you're both fighting for the same good, but somehow he turns out like that, and the way the writers discusses loss but dialed up to 11 through Menendez's character. I can't help but feel pity for the guy when I watched the grenade cutscene, makes me also want to punch Woods square in the face. But then again, you can't blame the man, he was left for dead with his men decomposing around him. Basically they did a spectacular job giving the characters their fragile humanity. Bonus points if the voice actors are great.

@rizkyputrar6646 That's true, but just because you follow the government's orders doesn't necessarily mean that you like the government or are as bad as the government or congress itself. Like i said in my first comment, people dont join the military to go kill foreigners most of the time, tons join because they have nowhere else to go in life or they just want to do what they think is doing right by their country. Even if they're technically just doing the government's bidding for them, that doesn't mean that's why THEY do it. Most people who join are just patriotic, and that's not a bad thing.

[@luketube7207]

I love how Shepherd emphasised the word, "fucking". Just how much disgust he has for the country from that one moment

[@yaboyphoenix1528]

What’s funny is that we know by Shepherd’s own words that much more than 30k soldiers died there bc he’s an Army general, and he said his men, meaning 30k Army soldiers alone died in that blast. But in that mission, we play as the Marines, and it also mentions Seal Team Six so the navy was also there in the mission. They all met the same fate, but it was MUCH more than just 30k in total

[@ImRobin07]

I'm pretty sure in certain situations, a General can be chosen from a branch to command over the other branches. For example in Operation Desert Storm, Army General Schwarzkopf lead the Navy, Marines, Army, AND Air Force. It's some special command called CINC I think

There’s different US military command regions around the globe, for example CENTCOM (Central Command) is the command for the Middle East and is run by Army General Michael Kurilla, but he is in command of all the other military branches in the region

[@Davemillerson]

General shepherd is the perfect anti-villain of the modern warfare series. It’s a great tragedy to lose 30,000 soldiers on the battlefield in less than a few seconds. Even worse if you were the general commanding those troops. General shepherd felt great guilt for losing all those troops while at the same time American pride was destroyed. That’s why he started Ww3 so that his legacy could be to instead win the next world war instead of being a failed general who lost 30k troops.

[@Deathmare235]

I’d say he’s an anti villain but nothing noble about starting a war, he only cared for himself and his own ideals

[@Loltroll8]

I wouldn't call him an anti villain, he has no morals and is just as bad as Makarov

[@livelife4928]

He didn't do anything out of guilt, it was all out of shame. Firstly, it is heavily implied in the original MW2 that was the reason why US troops pushed into the unnamed middle Eastern City in COD4 despite the entire international community including the UK warning them not to. His decisions got 30,000 people killed and, from his pov, completely embarrassed the United States. From where he stood, His pride and his country's pride were wounded and the only way to get it back was for the US to win an even bigger war under his command. The Dude is far more evil than Menendez and Makarov combined. At least those monsters are honest with themselves. Shepherd is a madman and a coward whose actions have only ever been in service of himself

[@TheMessiahOfThe99Percent]

Then his legacy was completely destroyed after being hunted by TF141. US became known as the country who funded terrorist operations at ZIA/Having criminal generals

He got angry because he felt a patriot that his country and his allies treated like a filthy man, and began teaching his training and military knowledge to terrorist PMC, until met Zakhaev and join in.

[@RyanCooperRU]

To Menendez' reasons, his reasons goes way back even before his sister's death. №1 "Menendez spent the first part of his childhood during his country's tumultuous years in the Nicaraguan Revolution. Seeing firsthand the horrors the US-backed Contras conducted on his fellow countrymen would sow the seeds for his hatred against the United States" - COD Fandom №2 "A year after the quake, his only sister Josefina was horribly disfigured and crippled from a fire in a warehouse the two were seeking shelter in". "The warehouse was burned down by its American owner in order to collect $11,000 through insurance fraud. This tragedy would further embitter Raul Menendez towards the United States" - them as well. №3 "CIA was sent in to eliminate Raul's father in a U.S. sanctioned assassination, an assassination that a young Raul observed and escaped in a pick up truck in the events of Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified. This would deepen Raul's already unstable hatred towards the United States" - them again. Basically, the death of Josefina was just the last straw on his patience. Therefore he wanted anyone involved in death of his sister to suffer from the fact of loss itself, not JUST because it was about his sister.

This video kinda only touches on makarovs reasoning, it didn't mention his actual reasoning for becoming a Villain It tries to say he done all he done just because of Zakhaev.

He thought the west (US, UK) weakened Russia and wanted the west to fall, as he thought that was the way to restore Russia to supreme power. So the Russian ultranationalists won the Russian civil war and took over Russia, but the party was split in two, makarov leading the radical side of the party and he orchestrated WW3 to take over the major European cities and become de facto leader of Russia to restore Russia as the supreme ruler of the European continent

Makarov is my favorite villain in the call of duty franchise.

[@thedarkknight727]

I’ll have like it if, Makarov was like your average Final Fantasy Protagonist, a Villain who is secretly the Hero, like Zaheer from TLOK but more tactical. That his whole plan was to give his country “The Chill Pill” and restore balance, by giving The West and The East more than what they could shew through WW3 and thus convince them that WAR was bad for the community. 1. Makarov value his country but Zakhaev was an old guesser that was stuck in the past. So Makarov started to move his own pieces. 2. The Nuke in Basra was Zakhaev’s idea not Makarov’s, and with a heavy heart he carry on his orders. Instead to saying “Today we show the World our True Strength” he would have said “Today the World takes an Unexpected Turned.” 3. Once Makarov took over and started to put the pieces into place, Yuri try to stop him but Makarov shot him in the leg knowing he would survive, for Makarov have already come to far to stop then, thus leading to the events of “No Russian.” 3. In MW3, he kidnapped President Vorshevsky, in order to extended the WAR, with the excuse that he wanted the Nuclear Lunch Codes. Why did y’all think Vorshevsky didn’t gave them up despite being “tortured” for months, cause Makarov’s True Plan was just to keep him around for him to just play along until Russia finish draining out their own resources and finally convince themselves to start asking for Vorshevsky back to sued for PEACE. Thus Makarov’s setting up “Down The Rabbit’s Hole.” 4. After the war, Makarov knew that he was the Final Loose End, and thus he waited for Price’s “Threat Call” to start setting up his own “Last Stand” thus leading to “Loose Ends.”

Why isn't Irons, Taylor, Kotch, Dragovich and Barkov? 😢

[@Courier2077]

Irons wants to make wars to end wars

[@immshep]

Barkov wanted to “cleanse” the world of people he viewed as terrorists

You who else tried that? ​@@Courier2077 Senator Armstrong

[@spoonygod]

irons wants atlas to be the sole military superpower so their stock price will continue to rise; taylor has a rogue AI in his and the rest of the squads brains, and it wants to learn more about itself by having the player play through taylor's memories of discovering the corvus project ; kotch is a mars fascist who believes in social darwinism and the inherent superiority of martians over earthlings as rulers of the solar system; dragovich wants the US to fall so the USSR can be the sole dominant superpower and he will be placed in higher positions of power; russia originally illegally annexed urzikstan for its mineral deposits and barkov simply has no limits when it comes to maintaining russian control

[@Chill_GUY123-W]

MW3 2011 the Makarov and juri . the game tells us that when soap dies , capitan price in frustration kicks us from the stairs , and tells him about this . when they was standing in safe place watching the helicopters was going down ... price give us another and last chance ....

In the gta verse: General shepherd was a respected general during the old gulf war and war on terror of 1995. After the bojinka event, he had led a huge group of marines to handle all the terrorists and rogue regimes that harm citizens. Even in a post Cold War setting, the new big enemy had become the M E C. A coalition of Islamic nations who defy the western nations. The weapons that the M E C are Drakan tech. Very advanced for the Islamic community to own. And it was also aided with some terror group links. And that one event with which General Khalid Al Assad overthrows king Yaseer Al Fulani of his country and his country was very USA friendly and this tested his arrogance for the worst. He led his 30,000 marines into the country and reached the capital. And little did he know that it was a trap. As a nuclear bomb exploded and created a huge explosion and radiated the city for years to come. Killed his 30,000 marines and many more innocent people in the city. This mentally broke him. Even he witnessed that the reactions of the public are shock and non reactionary. And that to him made him think the public has gotten soft and very spiteful. And unpatriotic. That the public wasn’t patriotic for the lost marine lives out there. That instead of filling up the marine numbers. It would take giving war into their home fronts to make the American public feel patriotic and worth sacrificing their lives to defend their homeland if necessary. This ticked the dark side on shepherd.

[@EasyBakeEpix1365]

This sounds like something out of the Historica wiki

[@CevicheGato]

@@EasyBakeEpix1365 that would make sense there. It’s like an MCU version of call of duty. But it’s kept both realistic and yet fanservice cheese. Even the gta world logic would work with call of duty lore.

[@botandrew1]

Shepherd betrayed Task Force not because of his 30,000 men. Task Force was never responsible for it. Shepherd betrayed them because he wanted to be declared a hero for himself only (and Shadow Company that he hired) after killing Makarov.

[@Crispy_Kareem]

2:01 u was supposed to survive that crash from the nuke but they cut that part out

[@kingpacman_9118]

So, I noticed the MWZ Warlord Legacy looks ALOT like Shepard. Is that intentional?

[@dabat-qb2vw]

I understand every one of them,and im really sorry for them especially for Menendez,because his sister suffered in a fire for him and they took her away from him

[@CampingComrade.]

One mans villain is another mans hero

[@sop1918]

Shepherd is not command in that mission but yeh you can clearly hear a difference in voices

[@_Fulgur_]

Actually if you see for shepherds wiki page there are unused quotes that were supposed to be added to the final mission in mw2. Here is just a few of them: “Why... why do you really need to ask? We've been at war... a long time. We fight for a coalition tired... of mounting losses; direct threats demanded that decisive action” “We lost our will to fight that day, forgive me, you understand? The American will to fight has become weak”

[@MuhammadabidKhan-g5e]

Also i can confirm that makarov was a good guy in the first cod game cuz when we were qttacking the enemies makarov said "sargeant we will die either if we fight or go back lets find a way and flank em!"

[@user-dv4pz7qj7x]

Third guy in thumbnail look like swift from alternate timeline 😂😂😂

[@SREAPER-l4r]

makrov said i will kill guy who killed zakhaev but soap killed zakave and makarov killed soap

[@sida.artyom]

You forget Jonathan Irons

[@endyender1703]

To be honest, Rorke had one of the dumbest motivations… “My allies abandoned me!” meanwhile one of said allies almost went down with you and only let go for operational integrity. The enemy just so happened to find you before your allies did.

[@Errorvirus404]

That's not really the reason. Rorke was captured by the enemy and brainwashed to turn against his friends. He didn't become a villain by chose but was rather forced to become one against his will.

[@preciousotoakhia9789]

​@@Errorvirus404like winter soldier, except no one saved him

Guagua Mendez had every right to be a villain

Yeah but what did shepherd gained from killing roach and ghost

[@barrellbaggins]

Would have been cool to see Zakeav’s.

[@Miggzo11]

but i dont understand one thing when they wanted to save the pilot why others didnt retreat like they could have left them there one super cobra then others will be maybe in the safe distance

[@Darren_117]

Fun fact. Rorke is the only cod villain to win,aside from a possible ending to B02 and we STILL haven't got a cod ghosts 2😃...so dumb. Such an underrated villain and overhated game in the series.

[@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005]

Rorke shouldn't have won though its literally impossible he was shot through the heart

[@maulanaadrian9383]

​@@ELIZABETHMARLONE2005Or maybe the one Hesh and Logan killed was his body double.

"Your gonna drop me lieutenant?, again? "

If Rorke was found before the Feds do, he won't be betraying Ghosts

[@RobLeopardBlox]

I have cal of duty modern warfare 1 remastered im new im at deqth from above mission i didint know captain price would betray the good guys:(

[@ramblinnernd5905]

Never played the remastered versions but man do the gunshots suck.

[@timecrashv5wu709]

Johnathan Iron in Call of Duty Advanced Warfare becomes villian in my opinion because: He built his own private military and it tooks more than just blood and sweats to be stronger than America military if not more powerful than any other nation. Iron really hates America and other country due to their politics and policy system. After having a son (Will Iron) and raising him probably even inherit his private Atlas company for his son, Will Iron still serving for his country. In the first misson Will Iron said: "i wan't to serve my country, not my old man. The way he said it he and his Dad probably in a bad term. That why in his death Iron really doesn't care that much and his stress already made him so blindly mad he wanted to start a world domination.

[@saniaamirbaaz8850]

But in “shock and awe” (the mission where the nuke goes off) they are Marines and General Shepherd’s in the Army so it wouldn’t make sense that the Marines would be under him.

[@hurricane7727]

I think in Cod 4 he was a Higher Rank than mw2 Shepard Aka a 4 star General

[@livelife4928]

It's likely possibility, he was just in charge of the army and was heavily demanding the government to greenlight the invasion in COD 4. Taking Shepherd's stance, the government does so and bring in the whole combined forces of marines, the air force and the Navy as well. Since the higher Brass are going there on his word, they send everything. Because let's be honest, we don't know the exact number of people that died in the nuke scene. We just know that 30,000 army units died. That didn't account for civilian losses or marines. But it's also possible that his management of the invasion was so poor he lost his rank for it and was demoted. After all, we see troops in COD 4 just pulling blitzkrieg tactics and rushing to their objectives with no other real tactics often used.

Menendez was understandable why he became a villain.

Rorke was tough as hell can’t lie. It’s only NOW getting love because the old cod players aren’t keeping up with cod anymore.

[@dantegw]

CoD Ghosts story was badass, i wish they made a second one...

[@BarabasDantioch123]

I think Ghosts didnt get enough love and that Rorke is seriously underrated. He is a *menace* to the Ghosts.
