BATTLEFIELD 5 - Tirailleur - All Cutscenes 

"Not everything written down is true, and not everything true is written down" Beautiful quote

As soon as the tiger tank blew up I got a Volkswagen ad

The second the word "wife" came out of that guys mouth, I knew I had never seen a person more already dead than him

"Many died fighting for a country they had never seen." Ver accurate depiction of Colonial Forces

I'll at least give credit where credit is due. The fact that they are actually speaking in the correct language is always a plus.

Honestly although the BF1 war stories were way better emotionally and story-wise, the fact that the BFV stories have the characters speak in their original language instead of english with some accent over it gives it so much life and immersion

On a side note, this is why having an officer is vital. Idrissa was right, and not because he was worried about his family. In the context of this game, they should absolutely have waited for some form of support. Any coordinated German counter-attack would have wiped them out. What started out as a company of soldiers whittled down to 3 men. That's a tremendous waste of life in the pursuit of glory. And in most circumstances, morale would have broken long before that.

My grandma’s uncles were all tirailleurs. None of em came back, some fell in “Bataille de la Marne” others in Verdun, and some of them just vanished. To this day we always feel like theres a huge gap in the family. From my fathers side however those who came back, were slaughtered by the french army upon arrival in Senegal because they were on strike for not being paid.(Thiaroye camp massacre)

I'm glad they started to notice the less studied aspects of WW2... Senegalese Tirailleurs... Splendid work.

"You will not find this story in the history books", Literally mentioned in every academic history book on the subject

This was my favourite War Story. I loved how you weren't just a saboteur or a rebel but an actual frontline soldier.

I wish there were battles in the Pacific, the French resistance, and castle itter, that would be cool

Thank you EA, for showing those forgotten heroes

For what it's worth, I'm glad somebody tried to tell this story. Dice could have done the Normandy Landings for the thousandth time, but they explored some of the theaters untouched by Triple-A titles. Say what you will about Battlefield 5, but this was touching on some level.

17:11 I think that and the ending of The Last Tiger were the only moments I actualy felt something during the campaign.

The French colonial troops especially the one you play here actually fought very well. Especially along the border during the initial invasion. But when the Germans took prisoners especially SS units, the black soldiers of France were executed. The ones that got away continued to fight the rest of the war. I'd say it was a historically accurate war story.

18:10 am I the only one who thought of the Italian war story ending from BF1?

As a white French I am happy they gave a voice to those men who gave their lives for us. They were heroes as the rest and deserve to be remembered.

7:53 I find this scene interesting and beautiful, he looks at the german soldier and must think he also had family and children

"When the french army liberated Paris they replaced the blacks with more "familiar" faces". When you notice that the first troops to enter Paris were actually Spanish republicans... now there is a story that has been erased from history books.

Press F to pay respect for Idrissa.

*"Look Idrissa We Are King's"* - Deme Cisse

This seriously needs to be a movie

They couldn't even be bothered to model a MAS-36 or Lebel M1886

11:53 shrapnels be like "am I a joke to you?"

This was my favorite War story in BFV, mainly because its the most action focused and its a more traditional "Soldier story" since its mainly about a group of soldiers overcoming their adversities rather than just one or two people. While I appreciate them giving some attention to the lesser known forces like the French Colonial troops, the way it portrays them being treated is simply incorrect. While I'm not saying they didn't face discrimination because they certainly did, during the war and post war, it makes out as if the French army treated it black soldiers like the U.S army did, which it didn't. The French army had used colonial troops for hundreds of years so they didn't have to "earn" the right to fight because they had been doing so for a long time and were not segregated from the white troops. I think a better story would have been to portray a unit of French soldiers, white and black, fighting to hold the German advance on Dunkirk and when the battle ends and they surrender, they stand tall knowing that they have done proud by themselves and their comrades, but as they are taken prisoner the white and black soldiers are separated with the white French soldiers being marched away into captivity and the black French soldiers marched away and executed. That would have presented a more stark picture of the attitudes of the time.

Man that comment section is salty. Yes, the French had colonies, yes they did some despicable things, yes, they had colonial troops, some of whom fought bravely, some of whom were cowards, some of whom fought willingly, some of whom fought reluctantly, but all of whom France was lucky to have in their fight to retake the mainland. Were French people at the time racist ? Yes, up to a point. Was this something remarquable at the time ? Not really. In fact, racism or just xenophobia has been present in most people for most of the history of Mankind. The "Us vs them" mentality. But quite frankly, I do not see the problem with playing one of these tirailleurs in a video game

My mother is Senegalese, my great grandfather from that side was a Tirailleur during WW1. Let's just say that they didn't have it that bad, considering he named his first born son "Charles", a french name, after his french officer.

13:40 when you forget to LOCK the hatches of your tank.

6:52 Lmao that ha.

Black Senegalese soldiers were often overlooked and underappreciated for their outstanding bravery and courage that played a huge role in fighting the Nazis and without them, it would have taken longer to win the war. And they were key to success in the battlefield. Divided we fall and together we stand. Always remember that.

This one level alone can easily be adapted into an amazing film.

Another settlement needs our help. I’ll mark it on your map Oh wait wrong game

That its magnificent cinematics, the decorations, the context, the accent of the characters, I love what BF5 does

"Story no one knows". Ok, you are kinda right. But man, there is something more iconic than this: the liberation of Paris by, wait for it, Spanish exiles. Surprise! And that's a story that, maybe, when the WW2 shooters return to be in vogue in around 5 years we can, probably, see a mention of it.

This french in the game is almost perfect. For only a few sentences, I could think it's a french game, "chapeau", mesdames et messieurs les développeurs !

I have played a lot a games, bf5 may not be the greatest but this mission made me flinch a tear. Huge respect to the soldiers

Fun fact: When he started screaming “we won!” just look how he still keep his rifle pointing down besides his happiness I mean it’s a cool detail about safety and how to treat a firearm Beautiful!

Pretty good telling of the story, only thing they got wrong is that the French didn't intentionally remove the Tirailleur when they took Paris, they just happened to be stationed and fighting in another part of France.

13:35 I don't understand in this situation, why the Tiger's captain open the hatch when the enemies still around? Did you guys do the same if you were him?

This is probably my favorite one out of all of them

The ending when idrissa dies and is left alone made me kinda cry

Tips on how to survive the “history talking” comment section. Step 1:don’t talk about history related to the war story in this video or anything about the French being racist towards blacks And that is how you survive the comment section of this video

Ils nous font honneur avec cette histoire. MERCI BEAUCOUP ❤

IMO, this is one of the best BFV warstories alongside with "The Last Tiger"

This war story was a breath of fresh air after Nordlys. I really enjoyed Under no Flag as well. Yet to play The Last Tiger.

We need more war stories

4:16 Kinda looks like that scene from war of the worlds (2005)

So they show us black french soldiers And still years 1939-1940-1941 are still skipped like it was nothing

Ah ! Je suis fatigué vraiment la ! Wakanda mon frère

Still over here bawling, years later. This was the best war story.

That last scene made me cry!

16:01I started crying so fucking much at this part....

This and the final tiger is the best WW2 story I've ever played in games. The forgotten hero of WW2. We don't see this much in movies.

3 types of Tiralleur Senegalese Tiralleur Vietnamese Tiralleur And other African french colonies Tiralleur

Props to bfv, despite its flaws bringing this story to light. Criminally sidelined and overlooked part of the war.

Im senegalese. I cried throughout this whole mission cuz they did such an amazing job paying homage to our country's fighters. To sit here and debate that a COLONIALIST country isnt racist.... i wont even address 😂. The voices were GREAT overall. They had zero accent when speaking in Wolof and it was authentic. One thing worth noting, our accent when speaking french as the current generation is very different from when our dads and grandfathers spoke french in the 1940s so i dont think comparing it to how africans sound now is a good idea. But anyways, this mission is by far my favorite war game mission. It overtook the beach of normandy scene in medal of honor lol

Having the German air force in this battle is highly unlikely They were nearly destroyed by American-British bombing of factories and air fields. By 1944 the German Air Force was basically wiped out so having them as a major fighter in the battle is inaccurate. They were either destroyed or in battle with allied fighter planes.

17:24 my heart sank

This story made me really sad at the end.

When Tirailleurs are given with Ross rifles instead the MAS-36

12:21 That's not a Swastika

This mission still has a lot of inaccuracies but the main one that gets me is the fact they say these guys had no training or combat experience these guys had many completed missions in Africa against the Germans they also were trained just as well as every other soldier

i love the shortsidedness of standing on a tank after throwing a grenade into essentially a box of gunpowder.

Its 1944 and they should be wearing American supplied uniforms

somehow this Chapter reminds me bout tthe star wars story rogue one where 1 platoon manage to destroy an entire base

I like the general tone. Howewer the whole thing looks like an american writer transferring his nation's racism issues to France. According to wikipedia, the american restrictions on the size of the free french army were the reason why DeGaulle disbanded the Tirallieurs (after the liberation of FRANCE, not Paris) and several conflicts arised around the very mundane fact that the french refused to pay them their wages (which were fairly owed to them, of course).

That opening musical made my day

Reminds me of The Italian alps mission in battlefield 1

Damn this is sad. I was crying by the end

That motivating speech!

1:42 first mistake french soldiers didn't wear English uniform

They had little wolof words in the french, witch is a 100% accurate!

Amazing story. I, from the caribbean, did not know that these Frenchmen used Senegal soldiers in WW2. Amazing story and let no one erase history.

I think that a story of events that weren’t written in history books is a compelling tale.

One gripe I have with the war stories is that even at the start of the mission you have a different gun to the one you have in the cutscenes

This is look like from the Italian Soldier story from BF1

Man, that part where they erased Deme and the other tirailleurs from the picture hits pretty hard

This was one of my favorite chapter of the game

When I played through, at the scene where you’re dragged back, there was a soldier’s head sticking out of the ground and I had to come here to make sure it was a bug

This is a glorious and beautiful mission . And shine the light of honor to many who were sadly forgotten by the ways the world was in the 40s. Now there services to there counties, families, and the free world, will be honored with the highest respect.

Thousands of Algerians and Senegalese died for and in a foreign land for a people that conquered and butchered them What a sad story

FINALLY ONE OF THESE GAMES ACKNOWLEDGED THE FALLSCHIRMJAGER

In war exist so many stories like that! Untold stories... Proud of all unknown heroes.

By the way for those who don't know, after the black troops had been sent back to Senegal without there pensions and promised pay, they revolted and France responded by bombarding their largest camp which was in Thiaroye Senegal. Just search up Thiaroye 44 to get the story.

ils nous font honneur dans le sang versé et leur courage, merci aux sénégalais pour leur aide et leur sacrifice, nous ne vous oublierons jamais, vous êtes nos héros.

exept the grenade which blow up the tiger turret ... The animation is just stunning and the story interesting, thank you ;)

I don't know which language is being spoken here, but it sounds so beautiful !..So attractive to the ears

I Like the accent when they talk

I’ve seen pictures of black French from WW2, it’s not like all of them were wiped from history

Man, now I wanna play bf5 again

A beautiful story ❤️

It would be nice if there was a French indochinese mission and a Vietnamese soldier ya know

_Allons-y!_ This story felt like BF3...got vibes of Rock and a Hard Place, Uprising, and Kaffarov, and the WW2 feeling we all know and love.

10:35 when the teacher says there is a pop quiz

The man had literally risked his life and lost his own brother for their country's gain ... but what he got instead was a betrayal from his own... This is the saddest thing to know ... as we live so comfortably in our 20s... these men risked their lives to save their country but they weren't even recognized for it.

Free French Army shortened is FFA De Gaulle: Something’s wrong I can feel it

wtf? why the french tirallieurs have kar-98k?

Anyone else laugh when the guy throws a grenade in the tank then stands there holding down the hatch before it blows up, throwing him back fifteen feet.

My Great Uncle fought the Germans in North Africa, Sicily, and Italy. I love history!
