SAS Soldier Breaks Down Iconic Call of Duty SAS Missions | Expert Reacts
Ойындар
Mark "Billy" Billingham served in the British SAS for over 17 years. He was responsible for planning and executing strategic operations across the world, and has led countless hostage rescues.
Since leaving the military he has worked as both a celebrity bodyguard, appears on Channel 4's "SAS: Who Dares Wins", "SAS Australia", and has just released his latest book "Survive To Fight".
Today he's joining us to break down and react to some of the most iconic missions from the Call of Duty franchise, including CoD 4, Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 2019

Bottom line is, like he said in the end of the video the missions shown from COD4 and MW2 aren't staples of realism, and what a surprise that All Ghillied up isn't with the way in which two guys seemingly pass a while army, at one point running out into the open into a massive convoy, before crawling under about 5 trucks as soldiers pass on either side witnessing nothing... it clearly takes some creative liberties, but ultimately as I already said, that doesn't matter considering how iconic the mission and game as a whole is - so stop crying like a petulant little child, you fool.

Killing fleeing civilians in what’s called the “Baku-Rostov highway bombing” Chechnya is close to where the fictional country in COD is and is an area that is Russian occupied even if the citizens aren’t fully happy with it. I could see that being the inspiration for the mission too.

I'd really like to see Billy reacting to some more 'realistic' games such as Ground Branch, Arma 3 (with UKSF mods), Squad (Middle East Escalation mod has special forces gear), or even a VR game like Onward. In many of those you get milsim players who strive to mimic real world TTPs, so its very cool watching an experienced operator pick apart how they play as well as the game's design. In terms of how night vision works, Ground Branch is the best out there as it gives you the same near blur and inability to use magnified scopes as real life.

He is definitely right about the full auto usage. Anybody who has been in the military knows that full auto is something you only do when absolutely necessary and usually in very close quarters. It is very difficult to handle the weapon and accuracy drops significantly. During my one year service I probably used the full auto feature twice during the exercises. Unless of course you're using an actual machine gun in a firing position...

Well, in real-life logistics is what ultimately determines who wins a battle, and a soldier on the front lines knows that ammunition is finite and that re-supply is not guaranteed, so why waste rounds with fully automatic fire? It's the reason 5.56 is preferred over 7.62, even though it's less powerful. They can carry more 5.56 than 7.62. It also has less chance of overpenetrating the enemy or going through walls and wounding/killing civilians. That was a problem with the venerated SLR and its 7.62 round in the 1970s and 80s. In conventional British infantry sections (squads in the US), there's one man assigned as the automatic rifleman for suppressing fire (usually equipped with a GPMG these days, I imagine they're looking to find something lighter - probably the NGSW-AR/XM250 and that new 6.8 round if the US Army goes through with it), everyone else uses semi-auto, as a rule.

@@skepticalbadger No they didn't use full auto at Prince's Gate, they used burst fire.

7:15 dude literally lived a "must've been the wind." Moment
The first time I ever played 'Crew Expendable', my heart was racing so hard once I got to the chopper and Price pulled me up, and then I saw the ship sink in the distance and the title screen came up. I've never felt more thrilled by a video game in my life, honestly. That first time, it was purely magical.
I love his response to cliff hanger "Your on your own mate I ain't coming with ya" And he says on the ship level we don't use automatics and then in MW 2019 for the house break on there using single shot
Every soldier on 'Ghillied up': "This is bs" Billy: "Yeah, I've done it a couple of times. It's accurate." Billy's been through it.
This great analysis is a testament of how COD went from Hollywood action movie style to Realism side of how these missions gets done in Reboot versions. I think new IW deserves a credit for their dedication to realism from guns and reload animations to mission design and script writing, all working towards capturing how these operation works in real life.
This is the best realism commentary I’ve seen with an actual badass. This guy is great. Ps. I’m so happy that All Ghilled Up was deemed as being realistic as it’s my favourite COD mission of all time.

Once again, absolutely brilliant video. Billy's insights are fascinating and I could listen to him break down gaming footage for hours, whether he explains what is realistic and what they do differently in reality, or whether he adds anecdotes from his own service. His reaction to the last mission shown is testament to the realism of the game. Thank you for asking a former operator with such pedigree to review these and please keep them coming! (but maybe either leave the F-words in or fade them out rather than bleep them out?) And for those who are wondering, Billy's books are also excellent. Highly recommended (and over the past 25 years, I've read pretty much every former Special Forces published, either autobiographical or fictional, like Andy McNab's great Nick Stone series, so I can assure you I have enough material to compare it to)

Listening to him talk about All Ghillied Up makes enemy behaviour in stealth games seem a lot more realistic...
Gotta love Billy :D Just listening to him you know that he's been around the block a couple of times.
I like that the peripheral vision is blocked out when the NVGs are in use.
So adorable how his perfect webcam interview spot in his home has him and his wifes wedding photo in the background.
More of this would be awesome!
mad respect to this guy
I truly like that guy. He really speaks like a pro. Apart from being a true pro on the topic
i like this guy Billy, Glad he survived. lol
On second comment i wanted to ask can we please get Billy to react to every military themed game ever released, he's too good.
Crazy to think of what memories might be popping into his head at 12:53
At 5:20, that was my all time favorite mission in any call of duty i ever played. Shortly after that i stopped playing (Black Ops was the last i played) because the games started straying further and further from reality and more into scifi.
I love how honest he is. He could easily just go "oh yeah! I done that once y'know." and we'd fully believe him knowing he's been in the SAS for 17 years. But even he's like "no chance I could do that"
The moment you see the troops & armour sweeping down the field towards you in 'All Ghillied-up', that's a strangely frightening moment for a game!
i love that genuinely seeing him want to try some of this but he knows it would never pan out from experience haha
Nice to see the use of the ogin! my respect has grown.
Some of the best videos on KZread
Mr Bingham Sir you are a legend!!

i remember this guy from sas on all4 my favourite show
Love how engaged He was reacting to the Wolf's Den
I can’t imagine the life this man has lived Im bricking it having to freeze in those camp suits when the enemy are walking by and I’m playing a game this man had to really do it.
I played modern warfare 4 since I was 8 now I’m almost 20 this brings back good memories
This man should help right some of the campaigns for call of duty
Cliffhanger stands as my MOST FAVORITE mission EVER. to this day. after as long as I can remember.
Why not the remastered version tho....

Fr, it would've been a bit more helpful for the point of the video for the more realistic animations they added
I always enjoyed the parts he said were realistic more than the high octane action. MW2 already started getting really wild whereas the first was a bit wild at times but also immersive many times.
All Ghillied up is my favorite mission for sure. I grew up hiking mountains hunting and fishing in southern Alaska as my dad and his family used to be hunting guides. For whatever reason cod was something I never took for granted. played cod 4 when i was like 9, still cut into my heart that games epic. Happened to play the remastered version around the time of Trump’s inauguration. Re mastered cod 4 was very satisfying.
