I tried playing this game before and I did a great Job! I stolked at how great of a gamer Seth Gonzalez was to. He's 24 years old now or he will be. His birthday is in August.....!
After surviving more than six assassination attempts, and having been reported dead at least 17 times, Savimbi was killed on 22 February 2002, in a battle with Angolan government troops along riverbanks in the province of Moxico, his birthplace.[26] In the firefight, Savimbi sustained 15 gunshot wounds to his head, throat, upper body and legs. While Savimbi returned fire, his wounds proved fatal; he died almost instantly. Rip
The Angolan Civil War (Portuguese: Guerra Civil Angolana) was a civil war in Angola, beginning in 1975 and continuing, with interludes, until 2002. The war immediately began after Angola became independent from Portugal in November 1975. The war was a power struggle between two former anti-colonial guerrilla movements, the communist People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the anti-communist National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). The war was used as a surrogate battleground for the Cold War by rival states such as the Soviet Union, Cuba, South Africa and the United States.[43] The MPLA and UNITA had different roots in Angolan society and mutually incompatible leaderships, despite their shared aim of ending colonial rule. A third movement, the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), having fought the MPLA with UNITA during the war for independence, played almost no role in the Civil War. Additionally, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), an association of separatist militant groups, fought for the independence of the province of Cabinda from Angola.[44] With the assistance of Cuban soldiers and Soviet support, the MPLA managed to win the initial phase of conventional fighting, oust the FNLA from Luanda and become the de facto Angolan government.[45] The FNLA disintegrated, but the U.S. and South Africa-backed UNITA continued its irregular warfare against the MPLA-government from its base in the east and south of the country. The 27-year war can be divided roughly into three periods of major fighting - from 1975 to 1991, 1992 to 1994 and from 1998 to 2002 - with fragile periods of peace. By the time the MPLA achieved victory in 2002, between 500,000 and 800,000 people had died and over one million had been internally displaced.[41][40] The war devastated Angola's infrastructure and severely damaged public administration, the economy and religious institutions. The Angolan Civil War was notable due to the combination of Angola's violent internal dynamics and the exceptional degree of foreign military and political involvement. The war is widely considered a Cold War proxy conflict, as the Soviet Union and the United States, with their respective allies, provided assistance to the opposing factions. The conflict became closely intertwined with the Second Congo War in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo and the South African Border War. Land mines still litter the countryside and contribute to the ongoing civilian casualties.[41]
Good history, I remember growing up as a kid in the 90,s in Ghana under flight Fl Lt. Rawlings UNITA and savimbi use to frequent our local news, jus as Charles Taylor and foday sanko, IBB and later Abacha
@Content_enjoyer He still committed countless atrocities and war crimes against civilians and enemy soldiers alike. Not to mention working with Apartheid South Africa, which is why the mass majority of the Angolan population was pro-MPLA.
@Content_enjoyer Not saying the MPLA had bloodless hands, but it at least attempted to avoid civilians casualties. And I don't think it's our place as foreigners to decided for Angolans which side was "right", as only they can make that choice in this case. I'm no Communist nor do I think it's logical, but if the majority of the Angolan people were in favor of it then they should be allowed to embrace it without outside interference.
@The_king567 The MPLA didn't become the official government faction until a few months into the conflict when it managed to take and hold Luanda while repelling the FNLA and UNITA from the region. There was never even a chance to "refuse to have a multi-party government", the war had already started. And no, UNITA was easily the worse faction. It had a higher rate of atrocities in virtually ever category: Child soldiers, sexual violence, extra judicial executions, etc.
I get the feeling that them finding a shipping container full of dead soldiers is based off a real story...horrifying, but super realistic immersive gameplay.
I loved Alex mason. Always trying to save others no matter what. He was my favorite character in the whole COD series. Always gets me, him going back for his brother no matter what.
Rest in Peace Savimbi. I don't care what anyone says but that dude was a badass and this mission only furthers this opinion for me. For those who didn't know Jonas Savimbi was a very real man and a military war hero to the people of Angola in the 1970s who fought for his people's independence and freedom. RIP Jonas Savimbi 1934-2002.
I got told Savimbi was a hero by my father who I didn't have much of a relationship with on a phone call once. Savimbi was definetly the man to run a whole army against MPLA
The Quotes of Jonas Savimbi 0:37 Jonas Savimbi: THEY WANT A FIGHT WE GIVE THEM A FIGHT MOVE OUT 1:21 Jonas Savimbi: here they come here they come my Brothers FIGHT MY BROTHERS 5:58 Jonas Savimbi: THEY ARE WEAK WE MUST FINISH THEM 6:25 Jonas Savimbi: our journey to victory has begun DEATH TO THE MPLA
What scene did you expect? It was the Angolan Civil War! A REAL hit to the nation if I've ever seen one, of course it had to begin with some good BBQ! (It's a joke)
brutal or not i like him he is my favorite character him and all of CoD series characters cod ghosts cod mw4/mw2/mw3 cod black ops1 and 2 but these newish like the advanced or infinite or black ops 3/4 even the mw 2019 and all new games are such a bullshit. games unlike the old ones
COD already portrays him as a brutal warlord lol, so the fans should know. It's his own family who claim he wasn't a warlord and even sued Activision for portraying Savimbi like this.
Sou angolano 🇦🇴 E digo que Jonas Malheiro Savimbi, foi um verdadeiro herói para o povo angolano. Ele amava a sua pátria acima de tudo. Vcs que não são angolanos podem até falar mal deles por não conhecerem a nossa história ou simplesmente conhecerem a história que o partido no poder conta, mas nos que sabemos a verdade, jamais vamos falar mal dele, porque ele lutou muito para o nosso bem. Com certeza Angola seria um dos melhores países de África em todos os aspectos, se ele tivesse governado.
Says a lot why the Korean resistance and Korean Liberation Armies would often decimate Japanese battalions they ambushed. Same thing happened to the Japanese in Vietnam and SE Asia.
When he said "what are the Cubans doing here"...the soldier talking to the kids was talking in something like porteguese, and only until after they left did the other soldiers start talking Spanish, which is what they talk in Cuba
This man... was important to us.... No comunism and was helped by the big nations, since MPLA won, this was a big disaster, people though that was a better idea but it led to comunism. From 2002-2018. To people who support Savimbi, you're choosing the right path and if UNITA eventually wins the elections, i think Angola will be a big nation.
Before the memes my brother used to interrupt me when i was talking to my friends by going “HERE THEY COME! HERE THEY COME MY BRUTTAAS!! FIIIIIGGHT MY BRUHTTAAS!!!!” It used to get me mad but now I miss that 😭 Edit xD: 1:20
The best CoD games are those unapologetic ones, the ones with the "fuck your feelings" theme. "This is war, there're no heroes in war, it's never beautiful, deal with it."
I didn’t know who that fucker was same with Mason but damn he seemed important also Kravchenko on the radio too bad subtitles probably revealed his name
Yeah, it was inaccurate. They wore camo uniforms because they were already an organized military at that time, unlike during the Portuguese Colonial War. And UNITA's camo should've been Portuguese Lizard/Solid Olive instead of Rhodesian Brushtroke like in the mission.
If anything the MPLA and UNITA models should've been swapped, this makes it look like it was the MPLA that was the insurgency even thought it was UNITA and the FNLA.
I love the fact that they made angolan soldiers speak brazilian portuguese instead of crioulo portuguese. I swear to god that i thought the Angola was in Africa and not in the South American continent.
You know I just got this video recommend out of the blue and I can't help but feel a bit disturbed with how positively engaged this sort of content makes people feel. It certainly speaks to something messed up in people. And from the developers point of view.....were I a programmer or modeller or whatever else in the game dev team.....I'd feel quite iffy about working on something like this.
To think this whole time mason was fighting.. Frank was locked in a shipping container with his platoon that had been dead for weeks.. to think this shit happens in real life is insane.
Spookiest thing about this war is nobody seems to know how many people died. Outside groups who went in to get involved kept their casualties documented, but the actual native sides neither seem to know how many thousands were killed in the fighting
And to think savimbis children sued Activision for defamation of character when in reality it made savimbi a international war hero icon among gamers If you read on General Savimbi you’ll see he was as legendary as he’s portrayed!
Bruh my mom got me the game in German and me being a stupid kid who didn’t know how to change the language or understand German yet played this game without understanding anything being said I just guessed when the gave us options in the story
I hate that my country (Cuba) had to be in the Angola civil war i feel bad bc at the time my country was in a very bad state and into a war that’s just bad and now Cuba is at the worst they ever been
