QUICK NOTE! This is based off the mission from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. I don't know why you are here if you didn't know that but apparently some people didn't get the memo.
2009: Whiskey Hotel. I still flench seeing a helicopter in fear they will start free falling again. It's hard to tell my son "no" when he wants to go to burger town. We were just kids man we had no idea what we were doing.
Can confirm. Was there with the 75th Ranger Regiment. Saw them pop green smoke on the roof of Whiskey Hotel, Jets scream by. Still makes me shiver when I think about it. We were, what, 30 seconds from having Whiskey Hotel brought down on our heads?
@@ArgonNoble yea, especially right at the end as we're looking over a blazing DC under a sky of Strike Eagles after narrowly avoiding being bombed to pieces. It's both a haunting and vengeful scene.
“Oh you sweet, summer child” That’s the kind of bs comments I get when I post about how awesome this mission was…. Some people seriously have nothing better to do
When you finally fight your way into the Oval Office, at least in the remaster, you can see a still burning cigarette in the ash tray at the president’s desk. Considering you just pushed the Russians out at that point, it means just before Col. Marshall’s counter attack, some Russian soldier was sitting at the president’s desk smoking. If he survived the war, he’ll have a pretty damn good story to tell when he goes home.
"You kids know nothing about war! Your good old uncle Dimitri was smoking at the Amerikan president's desk like a real man! We took the literal White House and held it off for hours against the Amerikans and you kids here are worried about Ukraine next door!"
@@Riixtard If only politicians stop putting their hands in wrong places. The West gains more than the two Brotherly Easter Europeans trading blood and death
A lot of people are talking about the realism of the scenario, but keep in mind that this scenario is from a Call of Duty game that takes place in an alternate timeline.
@Axl That if they don’t die in a war of attrition against local national guard and hard people who lived their for decade and know the terrain and arm to the teeth
@Axl Yup most of the Alaskan folks i know served in Enduring Freedom and Afghanistan. The latter are crazy Y2K factions people who armed to the teeth because they watched Red Dawn once and that Red Scare spirit still very much alive. U don’t hear much on the news but in recent months, US has been running major military routine up in Alaska , maybe a fear of a Russian assault to show the world that it mean business if US continue to support Ukraine. It’s rather unlikely but they said the same about Pearl Habor back in 41
@Axl Funny you brought up the Finns cause in WW2, Japanese Navy managed to land alot of troops in Aleutian island. But then left because they couldn’t handle the weather and was suffering casualties
@Axl This was also the first time that the Canadians and Americans accidentally fought against each other, I think some history channels covered this incident.
In Ukraine, they sent a small portion of the armed forces against 600,000 well trained, modern supplied, dug in, entrenched and prepared soldiers expecting invasion. In just a few weeks, they managed to take what they wanted, most of which they're still holding onto. Put down the TV remote, breathe some fresh air, stop listening to your government's propaganda. They're only trying to get you motivated and fired up for when they are forced to put out the draft. If you believe your enemy to be incompetent, you won't fear him. That's what will motivate young boys to sign right up, thinking they'll have an easy time. If you think Russia is incompetent, ask yourself this. Why are they not showing us any figures on Ukrainian military casualties? Why are we not seeing any videos of Ukrainian soldiers getting blown up? All they show us are the Ukraine civilian deaths. This is all selective exposure for a deliberate purpose of preserving morale.
@@user-km3yu9dx9c Their army are starved soldiers with outdated soviet AKs along with their vehicles are also from the USSR and outdated. North Korea does not have a strong Military. North Korea is not a threat China is. Russia isn’t a threat if Trump is re elected because Putin and Trump are best friends
Recent events have led me to believe that the ease with which the protagonists in the MW games go through Russian soldiers was not plot-armor after all...

somewhere out there is Ramirez being yelled at by Sergeant foley single handedly carrying every battle he enters. “COME HEVEAN OR HELL RAMIREZ, YOU WILL DEFEND THAT BURGER TOWN WITH TOOTH & NAIL!”
Yeah, "uncompitent" russian military 8 months fightibg aganst hole nato power + dozen privat war company with all their satellites, multibillion military aid and have only one losing.
@@Den2067 Whole of NATO? Sir do you realize just how stupid you are? You think Ukraine is the entirety of NATO? Do you know how many MEN would be in that front line if NATO was in Ukraine? The Uniter States ALONE would br sufficient to overrun every single front in the Ukranian war vs Russia and not just with infantry. The US has more tanks, more naval ships, more aircraft, helicopters, etc. Russia wouldnt be able to do a single thing against NATO if Nato was involved. Russia cant even feed their men 8 HOURS AWAY from moscow. You think they could realistically hold out for 8 months against the full power of a well trained, well equipped, and entirely modern war machine that is housed by NATO?
Remember kids, with the way radioactivity works with most modern airburst nuclear weapons, you only need to stay in your basement for 7-14 days until ambient radiation levels dissipate enough that you can LARP Fallout
Remember to take your iodine too. You can saturate your thyroid in 14 days. Only drink from running water, not still. And when deciding what to carry, remember you can't eat ammo.
Pretty sure that's already a thing, I know historically back in 1993, SOAR was playing ACDC in Somalia for morale. Nowadays with portable bluetooth speakers the possiblities are endless
Hey, they managed that! Two men sailed a small boat to Alaska from Russia to escape conscription. That's actually impressive considering the seas they went through.
2009: "Man this game is amazing, I'm glad this will never happen. The Army looks fun to be in" 2022: "Oh.." Edit: Listening to all the radio chatter in the game made the game so real. Minor details were so good in this game, shame they don't make em like they used to. This game was my first exposure to the reality of war without being close to real life events. Gave me inspiration to eventually join the Army..then 2020 happened
There are so many fools in the comments. Guys, if Russia starts a war with the United States or the United States starts a war with Russia, in any case, nuclear missiles will fly, because today these are two superpowers that have a huge number of nuclear missiles, Russia has about 5977, the United States has about 5428. These nuclear-armed countries specially prepared a giant nuclear arsenal to destroy each other. So in Call of Duty, this is just the main mistake of the plot. There will be no direct military conflict. The military doctrine and the US doctrine will not allow this.
I appreciate your point sir but the age of m.a.d. is coming to an end. Anti missile technology is flourishing and most arsenals are in decline or outright unmaintained.
@@SuspectXX Air defense, this is not a panacea, it can be deceived in many ways, as an example, by thermal traps, if it's quite simple, if more complicated, you can launch pacifiers that will distract the air defense, the fact is that if everyone relied only on air defense, then they would have already shot at each other, there's more it plays a role that only one missile that hit, for example, St. Petersburg in Russia or New York in the USA will kill all living things there. But the United States has an advantage after 91 years in deploying nuclear missiles, since they are already deployed directly in Europe. Even a certain amount was transferred to Turkey, either for storage or for placement.
@@SuspectXX still, our anti ICBM systems aren't perfect yet. So while things seem safer than back in the 60s or even 80s, even one nuke being successfully used means millions die in an instant, and these new nukes are to the Atom bombs dropped on Japan what the Cannon is to the pistol in a battlefield.
Before the Russo-Ukrainian war, every piece of media out there heavily overestimated the capabilities of the Russian Federation lmao. But, even though these missions in MW2 were heavily unrealistic (as even back then, there would be no way that Russia could push through the entirety of continental Europe, get past the British navy, and our pass naval and aerial detection systems with no civilian evacuations and fortifications done ahead of time), I can't deny they were hella fucking fun. Now every gamer knows the callsign of the White House; Whiskey Hotel. Personally I'd like to see a West Coast invasion scenario in MWIII (whenever that comes out) as not only is that the more likely situation in the event of war between us, but I wanna see a spiritual successor to the Battle of Anchorage from Fallout 3 lol
I mean there were plenty of people who knew damn well Russia could barely hurt a fly, but they were just ignored cause that required neuron activation to understand.
Russia almost destroyed first army of europe, which was sponsored by 51 countries for 3 years. USA can't did it so fast in Vietnam and in Iraq even with NATO support. The media is afraid of Russia, not for its army, but for its strategic missiles and "Poseidon" underwater nuclear bombs, which are capable of demolishing half the coast. War with Russia will be the last mistake the world will make. And looking at you, I see only a victim of propaganda.
Videogames are so fun, you get to live out such wild fantasies, even crazy one’s like where you’re actively trying to stop D.C. from being raised to the ground.
Obligitory broken arrow explanation: Broken arrow is (or was im not sure) a request for all avaliable close air assets to dump all of their ordinance near your position well beyond the minimum safe distance for CAS in a last ditch attempt to hold ground. Hence the remark "major its been an honor, out"
I know this this is two month old, this is incorrect, broken arrow simply means an army unit had taken such losses that they ineffective or completely wiped out
@NikolaiOrelovGNR I mean a quick Google search will tell you otherwise but go off sis "A code phrase indicating that a ground unit is facing imminent destruction from enemy attack and all available air forces within range are to provide air support immediately" -Wiki I'm sure there are other more reliable sources avaliable but I'm tired and drunk and correct so you find them, or don't I don't really care. To correct myself a little bit it isnt necessarily a call for CAS beyo d the safe distance but because only the ranking officer can declare a broken arrow it overrides otherwise necessary procedures for it.
It’s so weird replaying these missions post invasion of ukraine knowing how poorly russia is preforming Edit: the amount of bots and shills in the replies
On the contrary, we don't know a fucking thing of what performance on the ground has been like because in war the first thing to die is the truth, In reality what we should be criticizing is how much time they've taken which speaks volumes but also how much the Ukrainians have been funded in an effort for the elites to launder money.
@@charles07km83 The US was well coordinated in battles in those nations. Unlike Russia the US could wage a war and tactically do good in it but backlash around the world prevented things like Vietnam being won.
@@charles07km83 tbh i wonder why russians just love sending men to meat grinder to die. Man even abandoning their dead that thing probably shocked me since most military i knew still care for their soldiers even if they are dead. Our country even attempt to rescue the corpses of our soldiers but seeing the russians just leaving their dead to rot is probably the alien thing for me
Honestly I’d like to see a Call of Duty game that takes place in modern time, where are you don’t play it as a plot armor character. And it’s just focused on the Marines. Kind of like the missions from modern warfare one and two
@@olgagaming5544maybe after a failed attack from Russians or just a random attack from America, and its a story which you don't know how it ends, will russia prevail? Or will it be overpowered?
@@ranimdude eee prevail ofc, I mean moscowow would be defended i mean by the epic defense, special missions and super plots done by the protag, didnt you play any video game or watch any movie? xD well, counter attack to retake the country would be a part two of the campaign, like - amerikons communication in the region got distrupted by a virus planted via a special mission done by unknowm russian agent operator, their forces are distrupted bla bla, well more realistic than russians in Washington xD
@@ranimdude not a random attack, like americans did an intervention to force governement change or smth because they didnt like russia did something, well some basic video game lore
Sounds like a modern take on the Storm of Steel mission from Battlefield 1, where you keep dying and switch to other Harlem Hellfighters rather than respawning
Alot of E warrior in the comment section trying their hardest to cope about how unrealistic a mw2 2009 campaign mission is not even grasping the concept that both countries would cumblast each other towns with multiple megaton warheads within the timeframe of a TDM lobby😂
They're all pumped up little teen boys ready to go to war. Their government has pumped them up with propaganda, this is to ensure that when the draft comes into effect, they'll have minimal numbers of men trying to dodge the draft.
Man, this is why MW2 2022 is a let down, I was expecting to deal with the US being invaded, taking back the white house as an EMP knocks everything out of the air, barely making it to the roof in time, the epic shit, gone
Mw2 the og classic, U.S rangers vs Russias spetsnaz, in a alternate timeline they pulled out a fight. Now oof seeing Ukraine, hope the war ends and in the future NATO & Russia can fight together again vs a common enemy.
2013 - russia as big baddies in most "modern war" games conquering paris and sucesfully invading USA. 2023 - russia IRL not able to conquer single big city, except for one Cherson from which they were pushed back, digging trenches nad having constant attrition
I see a lot of people talking about " Back when we thought Russia could X" I'm sorry but the entire Modern Warfare games make no sense from a realism perspective. Like how Russia is ale to get it's entire navy and troops through NATO waters and get to New York, while also paradropping thousands of troops in some random city with no real supply route. Then somehow Russia is also able to launch a full on offensive into Europe, reaching Berlin and Paris. The entire game is set in a world where things only happen because the story needs it to happen, and makes for great action scenes.
... As far as I know about western tactics, is that units are trained to seize initiatives wherever possible. In other words, there's a cold hard truth and that truth is the Russian Army is really incompetent. I mean, they saw the Moskva and SUNK it. The Maintenance logs reveal why the Moskva got sunk: It was INTENTIONALLY released back to service, with a rating of Satisfactory. While critical systems like Anti-Munition Systems barely worked, Radar and Communications couldn't be on at the same time and the Fire Extinguishers were locked behind secure doors with the Admiral only allowed to open them. While I see wisdom in this statement, I think we can reliably deduce, from 8 months of action, that the Russians are incompetent.
COD was the best propaganda for the Russian military. It has managed to make a large part of the new generation believe that the Russian military can do something.
Based cod game Went from playing cod 2 and now I currently just finished black ops 1, the only standout by far has been MW2, amazing experience and i cant wait to redo it on veteran in the future.
Just so you know, china is in no better state. They are actively collapsing economically, socially, and now even militarily since nearly there entire arsenal just had there origins completely invalidated cause all there shit is knock off Soviet exports and evolutions of those.
@@SuspectXXwdym bro? Don't you know that China has special "CQB" bullets that tumble in the air to do more damage? You can't compare with the genius of the PLA and the comrade leader Xi Jinping 😂😂
Russian army in mw2: Invades Europe and USA, launches military operations in countries like Afghanistan and India and brings the world to its knees. Russian army in real life: unable to do shit against Ukraine who's having inferior military power and loses an entire battalion while crossing a river.
@@chibiromano5631 200k? That includes civilians murdered in the indiscriminate Russian missile strikes and suicide drones that attacked Ukrainians cities, right?
China is worse off than Russia, the last time China fought a war was the late 70s against Vietnam, and they lost miserably. And much like Russia they have rampant issues with corruption and poorly supplied troops and faulty equipment
@@ThrashTillDeth85 I think it’s ‘currently' the strongest out of the two powers. Until they run out of young people. Hence they’d want the war as soon a possible. Outside of physical mass and scale. A country allied to Russia with the strongest position to invade its neighbours, (dispute sanction and political unrest) is probably Iran.
@@abrahamlocke1682 And you’d be absolutely wrong in that assessment, all China has going for them is a larger manpower pool that if all called upon would absolutely devastate their country as casualties mount. And as far as Iran goes they’re currently going through some issues of their own
@@ThrashTillDeth85 I’m aware of that and mentioned it. In the last comment. But as far as neighbours, like say IF the US was ballsie and ditched Saudi Arabia out of frustration, the Prince long since under cut they’re own military out of fear of rebellion. There’s a Perfect Chock point at st straite of Hormoses. Practically perfect for a blockade. And to the north at the mouth of the gulf is a flat pain int the riverless Arabian peninsula easy for them to just waltz over and invade. Not to mention the likely support it will get from the concentration of Shia Muslims on the eastern coast of the Arabian peninsula opposite Iran. But Okay then, never mind all that. Now I’ll just ask you genuinely, who do You think is Russia the strongest ally
To everyone dissing the performance of the Real-life Russian Armed Forces: and Yet, despite all the NATO (not just American) aid, including untouchable ISTAR, repair, and production assets, Ukraine has still failed to remove Vodka loving bear.
