18:59 "unless Reznov is secretly an enemy of the Soviet state" CoD Black Ops: Hello there

@occam7382

Жыл бұрын

Good point, but that only happened because Reznov and Dmitri were betrayed by Dragovich and Kravchenko during a post-war clean-up operation in the Arctic Circle. Before that, we never see any indication that Reznov is disloyal to the USSR, and even after being locked up in Vorkuta, one of the most hellish Soviet gulags, for around 18 years, he still doesn't seem to harbor any hatred towards the USSR itself, only Dragovich, Steiner, and Kravchenko.

to answer both of you. first it's a joke and I understand that you guys want to add more information. Next, well a lot of people who loved the Soviet but never liked Stalin, some hight ranking members of the politburo or didn't like how the Soviet bureaucrat worked, guess where what? They were all accused being the enemy of the Soviet. Prior to Reznov's betrayal he already had a feud with Dragovich and Kravchenko, thus Reznov was already be the "enemy of the Soviet state", however Reznov wasn't aware of it. Only after the betrayal and Reznov being sent to Gulag did he realized this. To recap, Reznov still loved his contry untill his death, but he knew that the moment he started his feud with Dragovich and Kravchenko, then from now on he was "secretly an enemy of the Soviet state"", but only after the betrayal and the imprisonment that he realized that. He used to believe that the love and the will to fight and die for the nation would be enough for him to be considered the son of the motherland, but then he realized that if you hated the politicians of the nation, then no matter how much you sacrificed for your nation, you still ended up "the enemy of the state", and his hatred toward Dragovich and Kravchenko had dated back during the battle of Stalingrad.

Not immaculate and that’s all false. They didn’t know they were "inaccurate"

I think something that’s heavily overlooked is the soundtrack. The game features heavy metal and electronic music. It surprisingly fits perfectly of how the game portrays World War II. Guitar riffs as you gun down fleeing Germans perfectly symbolizes the brutality and relentlessness the Red Army was pushing to Berlin and the electronic riffs when burning Japanese soldiers alive is a great way to symbolize the weapons like the flamethrower the Americans used in the Pacific Theatre. Of course the game has generic patriotic music, but it’s more in the line of “We’re the good guys, but we’re not heroes.” The only other WW2 media that portrays WW2 in this matter that I know of is the film Fury, which also has an amazing soundtrack and dark portrayal of the war.

I remember the gas system wasn't removed--the gas plug was replaced with one with a spring-loaded plunger that was depressed by the grenade launcher adapter (which is present on the in-game model), which allows the gas to vent without cycling (and damaging) the action. The more accurate way to depict swapping between the grenade vs. normal mode would be to remove that attachment (to restore semi-automatic fire) and reload the gun with live rounds (since the grenades were launched using blanks). I think the weapon could be fired with live ammo with the adapter still attached, but the weapon would be a straight-pull bolt action at that point.

11:22 In WW2 there were no rifles at all which would allow you to "press the eye on the scope"... 13:58 "Zugstation" means "Trainstation", but it would be called "Bahnhof" in german.

Couple of other notes: 1. The Mosin sniper in game is based on a Mosin M38 carbine, none of which are fitted with a P/U scope. 2. The BAR’s charging handle doesn’t reciprocate back and forth when firing. 3. Technically, all the sniper rifle mid-reloads (except the PTRS) are wrong. When you retract the bolt, the player doesn’t save the live round in the gun; meaning the reloading animation is always an round off. 4. The M1903 Springfield sniper is based off of the Unertl scoped rifles the Marines used, but these rifles retained their front and rear sights. 5. Marines on Peleliu were primarily equipped with M1A1 flamethrowers, not M2s. 6. StG44 bolt doesn’t lock back when empty. 7. M1897 Trench Gun reload is wrong. It can hold six rounds, but the tube only holds five. 8. Thompson bolts lock and hold open on an empty stick magazine. This means the reload animation of the guy pulling the charging handle back is inaccurate. 9. M9A1 Bazookas were adopted in September of 1944, but they wouldn’t have made it into the hands of the Marines at Peleliu. They were using iron sighted M1A1 Bazookas.

Found your channel after your Vanguard video blew up, and I’m so happy you love WAW just as much as we do. Truly a lost art of portraying war as a visceral hell. Thank you for the awesome video!

27:03 The bell tolling along with the numerical statistics of WW2 made me come to appreciate the great sacrifice and loss the people of the time endured to preserve liberty. That coupled with the Medal of Honor series, got me into learning about the second world war, and thus into history in general. Video games are an artform, and must be protected at all costs.

let’s do historical inaccuracy of CODWW2. Also COD1&2&7. These contents are so addictive that I gave up watching all other COD videos. It’s so damn interesting to review some of the good ol’ games that we played while also learning new things from them.

A lot of the inaccuracies were more so due to a lack of viable resources and a lack of time. They put a lot of effort into it but for things like uniforms they probably had to refer to pictures. Also they had to reuse resources resulting in several of the inaccuracies listed in this

I also don’t think the Nimitz carriers in the pre mission videos (which were an awesome way to give context to your missions) weren’t meant to really be dug into or seen for longer than a couple seconds.

I do love the mode people have made that add more accuracy in the uniforms and dates and even the birds you see in the campaign though.

Amazing historical facts I never knew along with details I never noticed in the game.. Bar some quite obvious ones of course, so well done! While I believe many are due to resource limitations as to not create new models and the like and time.. WaW remains still one of the best WW2 games when it comes to CoD, far out doing Vanguard by a mile.

Though the mission to take The Point on the Peleliu missions was certainly not the end of the battle, it was actually cool how they incorporated the experiences of multiple companies/battalions of the same Regiment. It was an extremely important objective for the early phase of the battle, as the many concrete bunkers dug into The Point could fire directly down the beach and greatly threatened the usability of the beach for the entirety of the 1st Marine Regiment. It shoukd be noted that the player may be a part of K Company, 3rd Battalion 1st Marines, as they were relieved after heavy fighting on The Point. An inconsistency here however, is that your player also attacks the airfield, which was mainly conducted by the 5th Marines, along with 2nd Battalion of the 1st Marine Regiment attacking the northern sections of the airfield along with HQ and administration blocks, which was actually featured in-game. K/3/1 however, remained on The Point during this fighting. Lastly, the game features the player attacking the Point after D-day, but this was done in support from 3rd Battalion 1st Marines along with B company, 1st Battalion 1st Marines, who were helping to tie-in, then relieve the isolated k/3/1 on the point, only then to pivot the entire Regiment northward. This means that the character you play as performed the actions of several companies/battalions in-game while doing so in 2 days, when i actuality these events spanned roughly 3 days. The game also features the player being binned down in a series of trenches, which could be representative of the experience of another conpany ahead of The Point, which was pinned down in a 10ft wide and 6ft deep anti-tank ditch for much of the 1st day of fighting. 1st Battalion, 1st Marines also ran into a massive concrete blockhouse at the intersection of a trail, inland of white beach 1, which was partly destroyed by a 16" shell at the request of the Marines after small arms fire could not reduce it. This blockhouse is also featured in the mission Little Resistance, though not entirely accurately.

They gotta have this guy be the main historian to aid the entirety of Activision and every future CoD game team.

I freaking love how he added the grenade spamming bots outside of the Reichstag as a historical inaccuracy. Lol

While there is a bunch of other minor errors you've missed, there is one I'm surprised I've never heard mentioned. On Little Resistance when they are screaming to drop the ramp, what few people seem to notice is this is not possible. While everyone else in the mission is being transported in LVT-4s, our squad is being transported in an LVT-2 which has no fear exit ramp.

9:30 the dead Heer soldier also has an SS sleeve eagle where the breast eagle should be. The SS soldiers are all wearing Alter Kämpfer chevrons on their right sleeves, which would be highly unlikely if not impossible for that rank at that time. 25:29 I know what you're trying to say, but the Luftwaffe WAS part of the Wehrmacht, what you mean to say is HEER. Also, The Frosty 1 should know how to pronounce Operation Barbarossa correctly.

3:09 this could be because Robux gets promoted to Sergeant later in the game, and they couldn’t figure out how to update his model

Pertaining to the wet towel being applied to the barrel shroud of the m1919 I remember reading about John Basilone on Guadalcanal and the author stated that Marines later would wrap an absurd amount of medical tape on the barrel shroud and apparently that would take the heat enough to be able to be handled in the mannor depicted. He was talking about how during Guadalcanal the m1919's still were all fitted with water jacketed barrels and that the aforementioned modification technique would have served John immensely during his MOH stand. I think that's what's being depicted in the game

One of my foundest memory when I started playing this was the main menu music. Almost all WWII games before had often epic, heroic music. But this time it was a depressing/horror type of theme. Loved it!

The Marine Raiders were disbanded by mid 1944. They served at Guadalcanal, New Georgia and Bougainville With the exception of Makin Island, your not actually serving with the Raiders during the rest of the campaign since they no longer existed at that point.

As good as WaW is from a stylistic perspective, I've been seeing too many people hold it up as the gold standard for historical accuracy when really it's just about as historically accurate as any other WWII Call of Duty game that came before it. Another inaccuracy that bugs me is when the one Marine in Little Resistance says their LVT is stuck on the coral, despite the fact that LVTs were deliberately used instead of flat-bottom boats because of their ability to climb over the coral reefs.

Loved the video. Just some additions to the inaccuracies: 3:25 The M1A1 Thompson in the game also has a Cutts compensator which was deleted in the M1 and M1A1 models. I’m also pretty sure that Marines didn’t start getting M1A1’s until much later on in the war, the Thompson model used in the first mission should probably be a M1928A1. 6:49 I’m pretty sure that this type of grenade launcher requires the use of blank ammunition to launch the grenade, so you couldn’t just stick a grenade onto the end of a rifle already loaded with standard 30-06 rounds. 9:17 All Mosin-Nagant rifles in the game appear to be the M44 tanker model (without the folding bayonet), when the longer M91/30 was standard issue. Additionally, all Mosins have turned down bolts used for sniper models when in the player’s hands and have straight bolts when not held by the player, even the sniper versions. Also, you can’t bang out the stripper clip while loading a Mosin by cycling the bolt like you can with a Kar98k. 25:21 The FG-42 only had a 20rd magazine, not a 32rd one like in the game. These are all off the top of my head, the IMFDB page for CoD WaW lists many more inaccuracies. It’s a fun read.
