i wish they were still around, those SR-71’s looked gorgeous and I believe it still holds the record of being the fastest air breathing manned aircraft since ‘76
@Dan The Man they cared enough to outsource the campaign to raven software unfortunately and developers now only care about useless content rather than giving new experiences with dlc
its pretty crazy how Wright's first flight was 60 years earlier. the technological jump from 1903-1964 is astounding. Not much seems to have changed in this regard since 64.
to this day I think we haven’t gotten any major breakthroughs in the aircraft world, an argument could be made about the Concorde, that thing was a beast
@@williammackenzie2103 If it’s a remaster why would they need to change the voice actors? They can just visually update the game and campaign graphics.
It kind of was a kill streak in bo1 its the orbital vsat essentially but it was called blackbird in bo1 although if you had to control it in game i don't think a lot of people would use it
Technically the refueler was a KC135Q as the fuel the Blackbird used was jp7, most USAF types used jp4. The normal fuel would have overheated and combusted at the temperatures generated over the aircraft flying at that speed - 400-1200c. Indeed the properties of its unique fuel was utilised by pumping it from the front around the aircraft as a ‘heat sink’ then injecting the hottest into the burners. It was even used to put out a hangar fire on Kadena😱👍🏻🇬🇧
The SR-71 was originally designed to be an interceptor called the A-12. Though they dropped that idea and made the SR-71 a reconnaissance plane instead.
IIRC there were many different SR-71's made. There was one for a couple government branches (CIA, Air Force, etc.) and one of them was fitted with missiles. Issue was that it was in danger of shooting itself with its own missile at cruising speed. The A-12 could not carry missiles, but the YF-12 could.
This was the coolest mission back in the day, I remember playing this at my friends house then convincing my parents to get me a ps3 just to play black ops
@@SpaceNugget-qm1fx Because it was fun and took skill, had great balancing, good maps, and managed to be good despite having horrible microtransactionw
Call of Duty Black ops cold war is pretty good now, but just imagine if they remastered the call of duty's in order. You know kind of sequentially like they're supposed to. . .
Fun fact: The player character was named after a long-time Call of Duty fan who died of cancer a few months prior to the game's release . . . . . . . . . ...Also, Confederates would have saved pregnant Anne Frank :)
Out of nowhere 10+ years later I just remembered the "My sky" line right before taking off. Such an awesome part of the game and I just had to search for it. COD back then were truly an experience.
Bruh I was screaming inside when no one's talking about how good BO 1 is and only talk about BO 2. Yeah BO 2 were great, but BO 1 felt so complete with those gore and variety of missions with mystery/riddles. It felt totally like something you would call "black ops".
After meeting and learning about the blackbird, it's really cool treyarch made a whole mission on it than just having it as a killstreak. The amount of preparation it took to fly just one of those is insane.
Perhaps my fav CoD game. This deserves a remaster as well - perhaps somewhat integrated with the Cold War story. That would be the first CoD in a while that I’d be desperate to play the shit out of
@@thegixlad27 i don't have strong opinions against cold war but if original BO is to be remastered I'd like it happen with a longer enriched campaign so that's why
0:54 amazing detail.. whilst the mission loads you can hear radio comms between aircraft and ATC. NOT only that but the runways ATC instructs the pilots to taxi to MATCHES the exact taxiways from Beale AFB itself
I still to this day have yet to really figure out if mason killed kennedy or what they did to mason in vorkuda. Such a fantastic campaign. I honestly felt like the characters were closer to us in this than any other CoD. Also, the music man! omg.
Judging by the way he says "Proceed to target, Oswald Comprimised" during the mission where he wanders the Pentagon, and how Dragovich sarcastically replies "TRIED?" to Mason when you killed him, I'd assume he DID kill him.
This and the Rooftops mission is about the only ones where its proper hush-hush stuff, you literally get to be in one of the most secretive planes of the time
Wow i never noticed all the little details they went to effort of including like the leaking fuel from the SR-71's wings because they had to allow for thermal expansion.
Fun Fact about the SR-71, if you touched the window from the inside without gloves, you would burn your hand as the windows got so hot from friction because the SR-71 was just that fast.
The SR-71 Blackbird was one of the fastest planes ever built. Badass can go up to Mach 3(3 times the speed of sound). If an enemy got missile lock all the pilot had to do is accelerate and outrun the missile. It is one amazing aircraft.
