Historian Gets Mad at Call of Duty VANGUARD | Normandy 1944 

16:46 There is a random paratrooper from the 101st, the badge on the arm of the first guy.

Bf V last tiger

You didn't miss anything in World War II the British did went in the water they unbuckled yourself more easier and Americans they can't get off in time I remember that part you don't get with that truck driving in the fuel because they did that there was a minefield White Bear that one your character bill out make a drills for the troops can you keep making more videos with your reaction with Call of Duty Vanguard please I hope you have a awesome day only all your videos so far you are very smart

In C47, yes it have a capacity to transport 28 men but if you equipe them with all their stuff, you reduce drastically the number of soldier in the plane because the weigh is too important

Plus we didn't use flash/thunder we used Leicester/Square

Absolutely true, british paratroopers also had a song about a guy whom parachete failed to open and crushed to the ground

@@bu9962 you mean blood upon the risers?

@@bu9962 I know the Americans song about a paratrooper with a failed chute and crashing, but I didn’t know the Brits had one too, or unless you mixed it up

That and he pulled the reserve way too late, he would have died on impact being only two seconds from the water.

Tell that to HBO. Apparently post Game of Thrones, people think a good show is gore, tits and huge amounts of the F word. And also more gay people because they turned tokenism into oversaturation.

I worked in the games industry when it was new. The Call of Duty team who made this might have wanted a better and more authentic story. Thing is they'd have to get that past the publishers and investors who only want to know about their return on investment. Publishers and investors are risk averse. They like to boast that they like innovation - or authenticity in this case - but they really don't. They are generally risk averse and will only back what is already proven to guarantee market share. So stupid plots and sensational action it is. They know it sells. See also Hollywood remaking the same few films over and over with different titles and stars. See also the top twenty singles all sounding identikit. Capitalism.

Call of duty games were never made to be 100% accurate, it was made for profit. It's not surprising that the new games that come out are still not 100% accurate and most likely never will be.

@@entityunknown732 But at least they tried in world at war. It wasn't fully realistic, but it tried its best to evoke the feeling of war. Now, it's just stupid inclusion after stupid inclusion. It feels like an action movie? You're right, it's still selling. But god willing this is the start of activision's downfall.

@@entityunknown732 Understandable, but what's the point of a period piece that's like 6% accurate, like Vanguard?

It's not supposed to be historically accurate.

All of the current cod series are in a shared universe they are all historical fiction in cold war the villain was based off a supposed actual kgb agent and they did their own thing with it.

Yeah the mission went so far to rewrite the history that some norwegian people took it as insulting to the real men that actually were part of the operation Gunnerside

@@pinomaki1050 it is insulting

And for your luck in my knowlage there are few movies about this ~The Real Heroes of Telemark ~Heavy Water War And for a plus National Geographics TV-series Drain the oceans (episode "Nazi Secrets") in my memory also depicts this mission and the aftermath of it

I really find that "I love or like" when they are remarking something different. It's just annoying in my pov.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the dam mission was also in medal of honor above and beyond right? Because I really enjoyed that mission.

@@swector_unit4257 yea but the worse part the game isn’t even fun

@@stormtrooperpvtjim1924 Yeah ik well at least when you play with your friends and do stupid shit then it is fun.

@@swector_unit4257 then why make it a ww2 game and base things off real events? Especially real events with survivors from it still alive.

@@swector_unit4257 We're already at a point where people feel so passionately about video games that you can no longer confidently say "it's just a game" and expect others to take it less seriously. What constitutes as "just a game" in the first place? Chess is a game. Basketball is a game. If a media tackles serious topics or fashions itself as a simulation of one, has educational contents etc. I think it's fine to not see it as "just a game".

Exactly omg how has no one else commented about the stupid Gewehr 43 style magazine lmao

They've been doing that since cod 2. The very first cod had that nice attention to detail where the equipment the soldiers wore was dependent on their weaponry. But you can't be surprised by the lack of that attention to detail in these newer games, they're going for a more "tacticool" look even though it might not fit

@@nickysimi9866 tacticool sums up a lot of new historic shooters...

I know it’s technically a translation, but calling a Kar 98k a carbine 98k hurts my very soul.

@@beowulf1658 Why is that? The definition of a carbine is "a long gun that has a barrel shortened from its original length" The Karabiner 98K is the shortened version of the Gewehr (rifle) 98 which was the standard issue during WW1. Well, the dimensions are of course still more comparable to the Garand, Mosin and Lee Enfield than to say the M1 Carbine. So, I guess I see where you're coming from.

Your great-grandfather along with the other paratroopers from the 9th battalion did a great favor to the troops storming the beaches. Too bad Sledgehammer Games took a giant shit on the brave men that took the Merriville Battery in the most disgusting way!

Still not an excuse, if they did it at night like they were supposed to you could just not render the limits with darkness

I didn't knew, that's justifiable. But still, realism isn't there anymore if that's the case.

Shoulda used fog like GTA San Andreas, Rockstar games did a great job in 2004 to hide the low render distance and they did diffrent weather conditions for where you were on the game's map too, in GTA 4 you had effects such as a lot of smoke from guns if you shot them for a long time in a interior or "beeeeeeee" if there was an explosion next to you

Except that even COD 2, COD 3 and COD: WWII actually managed to get the geography and terrain of Normandy right hence that's hardly an excuse for COD: Vanguard. Especially given that it's using the absolute latest graphics and game engine, to boot.

Yeah, even the first three CoD games were not historically accurate.

@@farhanrizkiahnafa7404 they weren't but at least they were believable

Not really. If you expect anything respectful out of CoD then you already lost the argument.

That doesn't even fly for us yanks. That's a Hollywood thing. I served in an armored recon squadron for 6 years in the US Army. If I ever referred to one of my Sgt's as "sarge" I'd get my ass ripped off. Maybe it was a WW2 thing but I highly doubt it.

Gotta make use of that Call of Duty graphical lighting, right? These level designers, man...

Well if you stand around looking stupidly unimportant, the enemy might be on low on ammunition and decide not to waste their last few cartridges of ammo on you........ Nah not even that helps this scenic DEV Teams masturbatory display for cut scene style of images (when not video) with call backs to their own previous works to remind you how great they are in their own little heads. Feels like over half the designs want to make computer animated movie and not a game, so The playable parts are fit in between their film they're make you buy. A film if sold separately would bomb worse than Hiroshima was. I've long said since about the COD 2 first expansion they needed to separate the company, one just makes game that is playable the entire time with no cut scenes to fill and pad out single player game play, especially when all that is you walking through the forest or jungle to the next damn cut scene... Then Let the cut scene folks make their movie and have their future employment ride on the success and failure of that. Instead we get gaming companies filling 30 minutes of game play with 1.5-2 hours of cut scenes to make it look there is single player mission. Long Gone are the days of the special levels like "Black Cats" that paid homage to not often shown part of the war where courageous men served, saving many lives. Call of Duty has it specific every game must have like that just few inches to shy of a jump onto a helicopter/aircraft/or across terrain(Cliffhanger mission ice climbing in COD4MW2) and the annoying standing behind a door which when open will get an important character killed off. So sadly predictable with annoying jump scares......

@@ablemagawitch I'm sure that was literally what the like directors or something said in one of those... vidocs? I forget what they were.

Yeah, the G98 WWI extended mags were mainly used in trench warfare and never standard issue. I can't recall if they were used by the Sturmtruppen, though. The thing is, literally nobody use detachable magazines on their service rifles except for the Lee-Enfield and a few semi-auto designs. Even then, the Lee-Enfield is loaded using chargers, and the few semi-autos of the war were mainly reloaded using stripper clips, too (magazines were scarce and expensive; John C. Garand's design of using en bloc clips was brilliant in solving supply chain issues and increasing the rate of fire of individual soldiers.)

It hurt my eyes when I saw that K98 with the magazine "look how they massacred my boy"

@@Robo_Rooster-w4l I know. It's horrifying how bad the guns are butchered in this game..

@Pus Breath & Rutabaga Farts Possibly, but I've yet to see any evidence of such a mag existing for the K98 that served in the second world war, let alone it being detachable. I do however think it's more plausible than the near modern holographic sights lol.

@Pus Breath & Rutabaga Farts I know what you said and I agree, I just meant that I doubt the Germans would ever make a 20 round magazine for a carbine which is supposed to be mobile.

@Pus Breath & Rutabaga Farts Yeah, they have a good representation of it in Verdun. Imagine the logistics nightmare for those things tho lol.

Then how do you accuse devs are lazy? What about directors of such movies?

That is the reason they called the german liquid container "Jerrycan" and not "krautcan" ;)

If I remember correctly, the Flash/challenge Thunder/pass was chosen because the German language does not include the “th” sound.

EXACTLY! When the guy found his squad during the paratrooper mission, he screams “THUNDER!” 3x. Like he should be screaming flash, incorrect order. The entire game is just goofy ahh.

How hard can it be to get that detail right?

It was more to do with the low altitude that the drops took place from, simply no time to deploy the reserve in the event of a problem.

Need to bear in mind that was very expensive at the time. British privates appear to get 2 shillings sixpence a day or £4.50 a month. If that £60 is true that's 13 months pay. In current terms using British private salary of 21k pa that's £23k per person for a spare parachute that will save very few people. At a 4 gbpusd rate of $240 you could buy 5 or so Thompsons, 20 Stens, 7 Garands etc. The extra parachute probably would make sense in training but not in combat.

It was more to do with the relatively low drop altitude making reserve chutes mostly pointless. During WWII, doctrine was to approach at low altitude to reduce the time any flak defenses had to react, and to ensure that the troops in one plane landed relatively close to each other, so they could form up into their tactical formations more quickly. If they had dropped from, say, a mile or 2 up, they would have been out of the reach of small calibre AA weapons (although bigger guns may have had more chance to adjust their fire and re-engage a target repeatedly), but the members of a platoon would have been spread over a couple of dozen square miles

Is that £60 in today's money or for the time? Becuase for the time £60 was a lot of money. The British army would probably of skint themselves trying to equip a single brigade.

I know. There definitely were people who were Hitler supporters but most weren't. A good analogy is Russia rn invading Ukraine, people actually treat Russians as if they are cool with Putin invading Ukraine l, as if Russia isn't already a shit hole without war

A game where a platoon of German soldiers become slowly disillusioned by the atrocities their side is committing, and begin working with the Resistance to try and bring an end to it all

Well they were evil weren’t they

@@Nobodyknowsme-q1s Some of the brass maybe. Otherwise the German army made extensive use of conscription. There were certainly evil and sadistic men among the ranks, but it's misguided to name every last German soldier that served as an evil war criminal.

@@Nobodyknowsme-q1s 🤓🤓🤓🤓

They’ve basically done that already, same with Battlefield

The opening scene for the mission looks similar to Brothers In Arms road to hill 30 too

Well, Brothers in Arms is just the paramount of WW2 FPS games. Especially storywise. Not a single game can even get close to its fidelity to realism and quality of production. Those guys from Gearbox literally went to French to see for themselves where skirmishes took place, read all the combat reports and memoirs, used aerial recon photos from the past. The game designers literally made the player play through more or less the same scenarios as the actual paratroopers from WW2. And they didn't stop there, they wrote a whole encyclopedia describing how skirmishes took place, how the game developers implemented all the data in the game, how they shaped the maps in order to get precisely the authentic warzones themselves. It's just terribly disrespectful to even compare this masterpiece of a trilogy to shameless cash grabs that can't even show swastikas and have been profiting off the blood of their ancestors, for almost a good 20 years now. It's a huge shame for the society that Brothers in Arms trilogy are massively, and I mean it, massively and terribly underrated. That developing team gave us masterpieces with unmatched fidelity and they received nothing in return, no praise, nothing. It's very sad. I'm not even mentioning how Brothers in Arms introduced the original gameplay mechanic of squad commanding in FPS, how they based the gameplay and levels on Cover, Suppression, Flanking and not having a duck shoot like the stupid children's game called Call of Duty. Brothers in did not settle with having separate fireteams, but they even created fireteams of different utilities that affects their uses in combat. How they created incredibly true to reality character archs, deeper contexts to their story, prolonged mysteries (that were never once over-the-top or unrealistic) about their characters. Man, oh man. They made you befriend and care each and every squad member. How Hartsock had a bad temper, how he felt slightly, very subtly overshadowed by Baker. How Baker was subtly self-absorbed by his inner demons, experienced even hallucinations because of the secret he carried along. How Legget was slowly consumed by his mistake until his willing death (or suicide). God damnit. Why BiA had to end? Fuck this world, truly.

Not once did I EVER have the urge to start spewing racist crap, nor de-humanize women. I still don't. But them bring this crap up is not making it all go away, it's making the issues more prominent- or worse. It's like what Morgan Freeman once said in a major, televised, interview. 'Interviewer: "How do you end the nonsense that is racism?" Morgan Freeman: "Stop talking about it."' It is so damn simple, yet we're making it so absurdly complicated, even including this shit in video games, that the issues are festering far out of control, unchecked even.

Anti-German propaganda by the allies has been around since the First World War.

Iv played the old CoD games multiple times. They call them Germans, Krauts, etc. They barely, if at all, call them Nazis

Both CoD ww2 and waw didn’t call the nazis, ww2 largely calls them kraut instead of nazis (except the waffen SS at the gestapo headquarters in French resistance mission prob). While WaW calls them germans

WaW can be excused I'd say because I mean, you play as a Russian from Stalingrad to Berlin, you're probably gonna be dehumanising Germans at that point, Reznov sure was and represented that aspect. Chernov was like the moral aspect.

The Nazis were the ruling party of Germany, so yes, the Germans were fighting on behalf of the nazis. Even though the SS were def nazis, your average wehmacht was also nazi

Good God the grenade spamming by enemies on Veteran was a nightmare.

the grenade count is very historically accurate in Battlefield 1 however!

You were killed by a grenade. Watch out for the grenade danger indicator.

Just play it on another mode and enjoy the masterpiece

Waw wasn't really that accurate either. But they got the immersion and atmosphere right so it "feels" authentic enough to belive. It's the same with BF1 not historically accurate but they got the themes and atmosphere nailed so it's better than this fake woke nonsense.

That being said there's alot of things vanguard and world war 2 have been criticized for that I think is a little unfair because it ties into the over the top nature of call of duty, or its there for gameplay purposes. Like the uniform inaccuracies and even to some extent the gunsmith system (although it is quite bad I think it doesn't need to be 100% faithful to be immersive) I think that through broadening the scope of what's criticized we're inadvertently making it more difficult to really pin down what ruined this game and what should've been changed to make it something as beloved as world at War was, which I think is still the benchmark for a ww2 shooter game, and even that game has its inaccuracies and over the top moments.

@@BigWheel. oh yeah for sure, I can agree with most of that, I just think that they've absolutely pushed it too far, especially with Vanguard and its multiplayer where there are no factions, both teams have the same characters, the guns can be customised to the point of non-recognition, and you can dress up like a can of Monster Energy lol.

God I know what picture you're referencing since I've seen it

Source?

@@amarettomeming9441 you dont want it trust me

Yeah, I saw that too. However, that's an even worse error. Bayonet's don't just loosely hang onto the end of a gun. They have locking mechanisms to hold it in place to stop it from doing what happens in the game.

Lmao it did

I agree too. Mostly on the last part

An interesting thing to note, that paratrooper who was stabbed by the German, still had his Sten Submachine Gun on him. But of course the game doesn’t give you the option to pick it up

@@Guilherme-ps3tw yeah but it’s your choice whether you want to use a German gun or not

@@Sonof_DRN2004 Granted, we see Winters, in Band of Brothers (ep: Day of Days) using a Kar 98k initially after they ambush the German cart convoy under the bridge. He never had a chance to recover his M1 and the rest of his kit and gear as it had fallen near a German AA gun and recovering it posed too great a risk. But after finding deceased friendly paratroopers near a small barn, he took an M1 off one of the dead troopers and scavenged for ammo as well. While there are instances of troops are using their enemies' weapons. They are the exception, not the rule. I kind of find it silly that: A) You're forced to use a 98K instead of picking up the Sten on your comrades now deceased person. B) You can't pick up any ammo off either of the two Germans you've killed.

@@Guilherme-ps3tw to be fair, if I lost my gun and couldnt see one on the dude that got stabbed (probably because he also lost his), I’m going for WHATEVER throws lead, German or not. I didn’t see any gun on that dude but I also don’t want to look at this game any more than I have to

But he at least it is still fun

I prefer to call them Sarn't

It wouldn't be used in the British Army either for a similar reason, but also because it would be "Sarnt".

C-47s were used in military service. The DC-2 was not. The C-47 was also a military version of the Douglas DC-3, a related aircraft.

A DC2 shouldn't even be there, they were used in that capacity in WW2.

It’s a DC-3 and the military designation was C-47.

Could still be an DC-2. Remember this is COD Vanguard.

Honestly, I can forgive the fucked vehicles personally. They’ve done that ever since WaW where you can see fucking King Tigers in Stalingrad, so that’s nothing new. Everything else is a different story

Love your 💡

It's the forgotten war for a reason lol

@@ericatikpo5809 There's a strategy game about the Korean war. No shooters though.

Thank you, Master 🙏

It's based on a ww1 field modification for the gewehr 1898, but the magazine isn't removable, it would be loaded with 2 stripper clips

Are you talking about the same "chad" Battlefield that portrayed Operation Gunnerside as being done by a girl and her mum? Both games seek to rewrite history, Vanguard just took it a bit further.

@@TheDeadfast yeah ik. I'm just saying that bf5 looks chadder compared to Vanguard now despite it's equally as bad an innacurate.

@@TheDeadfast except the last tiger mission which is far better than the rest of vanguard

The Last Tiger and that African campaign are the only ones BFV did right. Everything else is on the same level as Vangarbage.

Greg1234 chadder? Jfc😒

Thank you! Means a lot 🙏

and any WW2 veteran would be screaming about "light discipline" over a cigarette's glow, let alone the damn blazing warm fire.....in the middle of summer none the less wtf?
