Always struck me as weird that Adler and his team kill you even when you remain loyal, but the Soviets welcome you back with open arms, trusting you completely.
You were never "one of the good guys" to them. You were simply a brainwashed tool to help CIA clean up the mess with the nukes. But to Soviets you were valuable asset and a colleague. Not only was your life important, but your strange position inside CIA's structure could be vital to "The Plan" if they manage to contact you. And if played right, it could also help eliminate the only people who have any chance of stopping it. So yeah, your comrades had every reason to care more about you
Adler is just like the Americans in the real world behave the same way... they use and throw. USA used Ukraine-Russia war to sell their weapons, did they get a single American soldier on the ground to help Ukraine? Did the Americans add Ukraine to NATO? Everyone talks of Russian Propaganda. Well the NY Times and Washington post also talk about the US interest, BBC talks about the British/NATO interest... at any point USA could throw you out of the world's banking system in seconds (by throwing you out of SWIFT)... Holding a Monopoly in business in America is a crime, yet they hold the monopoly over Truth.
You're actually a soviet agent Addler brainwashed. Of course they'd kill you once you were no longer useful. Who knows how long the brainwashing will last.
To be fair, you did immediately retaliate by shooting Adler back. You know, to be fair, I like Bell a lot, they are the ones who actually quick draw when they're about to get betrayed, unlike in...every other COD. I still prefer the "bad" ending. Mostly because I'm chilling at several hundred kilometers away from the nearest nuke to me.
"When I give the signal, attack." "Okay, we'll shoot an RPG right at your fucking feet." "Wait what-" "Good luck comrade the Revolution depends on you"
It's a bad ending because it messed up the entire black ops story line they had planned out. Now there is no reason for someone to hack an entire drone army. Or fight an AI.
It’s The good ending because even though you get shot you save atleast the lives of a millions of people. The bad ending is bad because you survive but you press the button to kill a millions of people
@@gqp3185 which perseus hacked and blew up according to the story the USA made deals with many European nations to have nukes ready in case they needed them and perseus hacked them all and nuked half of the world
@@Living_thing08 Those "friends" drugged him, made him kill his real friends and colleagues and betray his country. Great finalle for the benefit of Russia for the first time in CoD
@Jack McLean there is MW2 where you get betrayed by Shepherd and end up fighting and killing him, but it's still for the 'good of the world', whereas this ending is more like if Price and Soap straight up joined Makarov's gang just making this point before someone else does
Most people actually like this ending, myself included, more then the canon ending. It actually feels accomplished, like you really won and got payback, instead of just getting shot like some loose end.
seriously, the canon ending our person was just an errand bitch to be disposed of like trash when used, yet in the soviet ending you feel like the badass soldier you are that makes decisions.
if many people can believe this then i am happy that many people will literally sacrifice themselves for something they have been told not for something they believe. can use few of them in future for quick money and scapegoat
@@mattiaslime758 agree in Duga tank are hard to get through due to the thick jungle. Plane and heli cannot see well for same the reason and they are easy target to aa and rpg.
Technically this is a different timeline we're on now. Modern warfare 2019 started a new timeline and it is proven that black ops cold war is a part of the new timeline with Adler being mentioned in warzone. Captain price still attempts to assassinate zakhaev after the events of cold war which leads to mw19's story instead of mw1's.
@@Skulldude-yj9kg Bell is valueless after all these missions, the order of killing Bell is given by the top, but emotionally Adler don’t want to kill Bell, so the ending is Adler and Bell shooting each other, means Adler should complete the mission of kill Bell but he is personally prepared for the result of getting killed or die together with Bell.
This ending suck becuz I'm kinda attach to those new characters I want an ending where both of them were probably injured but even thought that bell finished his or her mission he is still valuable to future missions
@@Skulldude-yj9kg Yes, choose return to Soviet, you gonna nuke whole Europe (although these nukes are actually American's), choose America, maybe you did right choose of saving Europe, but you will still get killed cuz CIA find you useless...... you love the USA, but the USA doesn’t love you :)
Adler shoots you for dead after saving the world Perseus greets you like friend and invites you to drink vodka with fellow conrades after saving humanity Yeah im going with Perseus, BYYYEEEE
As a Russian I am surprised by the positive reaction in the comments I'm surprised that the West gamers are tired of endless stories like "Good America and bad commies."
As soon as Soviet soldier aka Perseus pick you up, calls you "comrade" and give you the AK I immediately felt welcomed, maybe that's why I like this ending, Perseus is like pretty cool with you while the whole team kinda was a dick to you throughout the story. If you replay the story you also notice that Voltov mention that Perseus put a high bounty to capture you, you are clearly important to him or the operation. Also that moustache.
Did you even feel attachement to Bell at the same level you did for mason? The character did not speak whole game , i played it and it disturbed me to kill Adler Woods Mason cause i was attached to them, idc if most of the people like that ending this is not Canon and idc if bell dies or not
Yea you just conveniently wipe out millions of innocent civilians by detonating nukes throughout Europe, causing death and destruction, all worth it because Perseus patted you on the shoulder and called you Comrade.
It's strange how Perseus turned out to be friendlier to Bell than Adler ever was. The player's avatar never interacts with him for most of the story. Yet when they do, Perseus speaks to Bell with nothing but praise and respect.
Am I the only one who wants “Perseus” (or whatever his actual name is) to be a playable operator? We need playable villains in the game. (Same for Menendez too)
You know something that I love in that ambush ending? The reaction of your former team. The face that Adler and Woods make when you give the order is incredible. And that possibility made me love Cold War. And even with all that, Woods still wants to protect you. (Us, actually).
@@remingtonarcher1335 imagine if bell ended up getting masons memories,that would be so Fucking cool,he would see the numbers like how mason still sees them since kravchenko isn't dead yet,
Nah, Perseus is a rogue element acting against the wishes of wider Soviet state. If anything, you're a wanted man at that point, a war criminal responsible for millions of deaths.
The fact that the majority of the playerbase actually love this ending speaks volumes. ActiBlizz and Treyarch should take notes and consider this for the next game. Perhaps a CoD set in an alt timeline where the Soviets took over the world is in order, with you switching perspectives between what’s left of US special forces hiding as an underground resistance and as a Soviet loyalist hunting your other character down.
@@coconutwateryt Detroit is more about androids/robots becoming more human by having actual emotions and free will/thoughts (either starting a pacifism protest or full aggression war) What spaceboi is saying here is what if treyarch made a CoD Wolfenstein except instead of nazis we had global soviets And honestly, i would love a spinoff about this scenario. I don't think this ending would fit or even is canon to the modern warfare 2019 and it's future projects (still, i wished this ending could be canon)
To be honest, Woods and mason probably would've stolen a truck that led to a perfectly placed helicopter that would take them to Perseus's secret compound or somethin.
When I played the jungle mission I kept thinking that bell was a sleeper agent like mason but when it was revealed that you where a Russian I was amazed that they allowed you to betray alder’s team!
@@dreamslonglostuncle6483 Oh no, It's clearly before the disaster, it was just a joke because McMillan's line in COD4 is "40,000 persons used to live there"
I love how if you lie to him, soon as he gives you a hand to get up you see his name in red, since you are now looking at an enemy. If you tell him the truth, his name doesn’t come up in blue at all. It’s these small things that I love.
Why do I love this ending more then the others, not saying I enjoyed killing Mason and Woods but like the whole "FOR THE MOTHER LAND" vibe feels great, it really beats all the other endings
Por el romanticismo, es un sentimiento que todos tenemos, el sentimiento de lo macabro, de lo lúgubre, del mal...como es algo ficticio, y nos Dan una justificación, podemos sentirnos bien al ser los malos, es algo natural del ser humano, no hay que sentirse mal por querer hacer el mal en un videojuego, de hecho es hasta bueno, pues te desahogar de ciertos impulsos o pensamientos de una manera sana
Perseus is one of the best villains to have as a friend,he wont betray you,he wont let you die if he can help, and he is loyal, thats a really good villain
Apparently the canon ending is you vs Addler in a cowboy duel, if both have died in that, it would explain why we didn't heard anything more about Addler or "Bell".
@@user-yo1im9pi8z and Price, Soap, Gaz, Nikolai, Wilcroft, Griffin, Burns, Kamorov, Yuri, Macmillan... Once a charismatic vilian said this to us all "and for what? TOO US YOU SERVED YOUR LIFE MEANS NOTHING!"
If I had to direct this mission, I would have made it on par with the “good ending” counterpart by making the firefight longer. You fight your way to Adler through buildings and forest while eliminating your former squad one by one instead of just killing them in a single firefight. They become miniature boss fights, essentially, especially Mason.
@@josiahstankus4193 War in Afghanistan. Start all full of hope, as (in homeland at least) warriors liberators and slowly fall into how pointless war is, how many young boys died basically for nothing. Final shot should last soviet convoy with flashbacks, how they come with hope and higher goal and back with nothing, but sone pride for fighting tooth and nails. They did not good in bigger picture, but sure fight like true warriors (well, most of them)
3:35 what makes that sentence so cruel and ironic is 1- you get shot even after being loyal to em in the end anyway 2- Perseus has shown to be a much better friend than any of them, and we know him for literally only a few minutes in this whole game
3:25 Wow, amazing hit registration. The cover is so advanced it blocks bullets in the air! Also, on a side note, i adore how Perseus makes fun of how the American side thought there was only one ring leader, since, at least in action movie stereotypes, Americans think in individuals. One hero, one leader, etc. Yet the Soviets think as a collective. Perseus is a wide range of people, not just an individual. Pretty cool storytelling, and a fun play on themes when you switch sides.
Well the Americans were the good guys here. They are not fighting Soviet government operatives, they were fighting rouge terrorists and doing everything in order to save the lives of millions of innocent people. The whole world lose in this ending.
I was so happy to finally be able to play on the russians side for once. I'm german but I kinda identify more with the "Comrade"- Thing over the "you did good" *shoots you* - thing
Imagine if bell doesn't speak russian the whole game and when you signal the ambush, bell says it in Russian symbolizing he choose to side with the Russians. That'd be pretty bad ass imo
Bell was betrayed by his own comrade because "Bell" was Perseus favorite while dying Adler finds him and brainwashes him making him forget all his prior memories including his real name and he didn't get his memory back until the last mission. So I don't blame Bell for killing Adler Mason and Woods Adler manipulated and used Bell until the job was done Adler never trusted Bell
Its a sad thing even if you do the best ending(not killing Aldrich, not killing Rudnik, saving Volkov) Perseus the truest of tovarish bro, dies like a year later from cancer. So in theory that means *You* get to rule the world, and Stitch would be 2nd in command who is a true tovarish aswell. Although Cold War story isnt done yet, Stitch said himself he achieved what he wanted, and there are countles Perseus agents still out there.
3:12 Instead of perseus, I would love to see Reznov come out with ppsh on his hand and say "On your feet comrade, ready for a little vengeance?" And give you the ppsh
Reznov got betrayed by the Soviet Union, saw his best friend get used as an experiment for a biological weapon, and then locked in a Gulag before screwing with Mason's brainwashing to make him obsessed with killing Dragovich instead of Kennedy.
@@skytop082 He did not got betrayed by the Soviet Union, he was a war hero that threatens the career of Dragovich, he knew too much, that's why he is in Vorkuta after the war.
