Fun fact: Dragovich from Black Ops 1 was also involved in this battle, promising Reznov and the soldiers at the fountain reinforcements but of course didn't keep it. Cool little bit of CoD lore.
No way !!!! This was the battle!? I thought Reznov was talking about a different battle so it always had me thinking which battle was it that started the beef between them, that’s so awesome!!!
The darkest CoD ever. Especially showing the eastern front was helping factor. Also cutscenes are perfect - combination of animation and real footage. And of course the colors are dark and depressing, so even Pacific's islands look dark.
@@filipzivkovic677 I don’t know about the most realistic, but definitely the most accurate depiction of how bloody and horrible war is. That’s the great thing about this game is that it wasn’t afraid to show the dark side of World War II
I noticed that modern ww2 games dont use stock footage anymore. Its a sad shame too. Its such an obvious and perfect way to help immerse you in the time period. I'd much rather watch stock footage of a battle im gonna be fighting than CGI cutscenes.
I remember seeing the real life footage when I was 9 years old, first time playing this, and just being absolutely floored. I did not quite grasp the concept that humans did this to one another.
14:25 Could have been earlier, but been waiting for this awesome praise from Reznov!! (Killing an enemy with the sniper rifle WITHOUT aiming down will also earn this as well)
This is the mission when you know that this game will be everything, except kid friendly. Medal of Honor was WW2 for children, COD WAW is WW2 for adults. Vanguard is WW2 for Fornite kids xD
Funny how Treyarch didn't model the German version of Flamethrower.But instead they painted M2 Flamethrowers Black and didn't allow us to pick it up when it was available in Vendetta and Downfall. Fun fact: This mission takes place 3 days after when Stalingrad gets invaded.And that Fountain is where Red Star map takes place considering that fountain directly inspired by 'Enemy at the gates'. Feels like Stalingrad in Vanguard takes place in Winter of 1943.Thats a good thing.
I noticed a flip-flop between COD classic and WAW on Stalingrad and Berlin. In Classic, Stalingrad is several levels and Berlin is just one while its vice-versa for WAW.
My 2nd fave cod next to mw2, was such a great game. Awesome story, awesome mutliplayer & of course awesome zombies. Very dark and brutel cod game. Many hours on the multiplayer, I also collected all the trophies on ps3 for this. 10/10 game.
I think that everyone needs and might get used to know someone like Dmitri along his side. He was a brave and capable man seemingly. And can choose between sense, morality and mindful acts. What is right for the moment. It was the only thing that given this game a sense of free will of the men, which bolstering the one-sided historic scenario.
I remember playing the beginning of this mission. I would shoot to early before the bombers would even fly over me and ultimately die because all of them heard the gunshot lol.
Second-Sino Japanese War will probably be controversial in China, but I don't think there's no reason to complain as long as you play as Chinese. I would welcome and get hyped if there is a setting about it for FPS.
As a sniper main in shooting games kinda made me a little triggered at the sniper scene where you stayed at the same position 😂 still amazing gameplay tho! Keep it up
Man I miss this game. Just about the most accurate depiction of the horrors of war and probably the last COD to actually depict the nazis as…well nazis. My only complaint with the campaign was the time jump between both the Pacific and Eastern Front. Jumps from 1941 to 1945 and both characters are still “privates”. Literally Miller would probably have been a Corporal or a Sergeant in 2-4 years time and Dmitri would’ve been a sergeant or gotten a battlefield commission to Lieutenant by the time the battle of Seelow Heights kicked off
One of the original score was coming from the Czech Philarmonic Orchestra and gives the Russian Campaign a well-suited atmosphere and ambiance. Also inspiring and catchy.
No matter how many times you play THIS-or ANY CofD game-they NEVER get boring OR old. As a USMC vet, this CofD appeals to me the most…❤️💛❤️ I have 3 kids (all adopted): a boy and girl-twins-from Ukraine 💛🇺🇦💙; and a boy (their younger brother) from 🤍🇵🇱❤️ (all 3 all grown up and doing VERY WELL in life ❤️🤍💛💙. Anyway… They ALSO share my love and passion for video games 🎮, ESPECIALLY the CofD titles!!! Coincidentally, prior to my adopting them, they lived briefly in a children’s group foster home in Germany before being flown to the USA 🇺🇸 ❤️🤍💙. Ironically, when their [step] mom asks them how they feel about “killing” Germans (😄😁😆🥹😅😂🤣), they say: “…it’s complicated!!! Technically, the Germans in this game are NOT [100%] Nazis, nor are they technically ‘Germans’. They are, in fact, representations of Germans who were misled by Nazi ideology…☹️💔💔💔. Given the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine 💛🇺🇦💙, their only regret HERE, is that they can’t “kill” Russians/Soviets”💔 (given the ongoing circumstances, neither my kids nor I take pleasure in “killing” Germans. My stance, when asked, is: “…the Russians/Soviets represented in this game are just that-representations of Russians misled by Soviet-Stalinist propaganda. However, the Russian aggressors in Ukraine 💛🇺🇦💙 are a reminder of post-WW2 Soviet expansionism, so I DO NOT fault my kids for their anti-Russian ‘leanings’.” In fact, we ALL speak fluent German, in addition to all 3 of them having fluency in Ukrainian and Polish as well as mastery of the English language. Finally, I’ve been to Germany ❤️💛🖤 many times before, and I strongly recommend one make a holiday of it at least ONCE in their lifetime. But seriously… Sgt. Reznov IS a BAD ASS!!!
Unfortunately no, I have watched the full campaign and vanguard feels shit This waw game was dark as fuck. The best ww game ever made, no game can defeat this Wow this game had a lot of balls
@@hx20games77 ifkr. How did the manage to make waw Btw to be fair to them mw2019 campaign was insane asf. A campaign and a game well done(remember I will only talk about the campaign and the mw2019 campaign was fantastic ) Truth is that in a while, mw2019 has been the best fps shooter. No game could defeat it(campaign atleast)
Dimitri must have been really physically fit to carry the PTRS like that, the PTRS anti tank rifle is nearly 7ft long, weights 46 pounds and fires the 14.5x114mm steel jacket ceramic core round
Anyone else notice the king tiger wrecks? Not that it matters just find it funny considering it wasn’t in a full combat role till the last days of the war
I sincerely feel sorry for the Russians that they got such a terrible localization. (I'm serious, look how insensitive Reznov is in Russian translation)
