Why Did These Guys Become Villains? | Call of Duty 

Shepherd's Third Betrayal That You Didn't Know! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-48_hY4ojxTE.html Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy watching the video!

Wanting or not, Makarov did more for Power than revenge....

Shepherd and Menendez had legitimate reasons, Makarov's goal went from revenge to power, Rorke broke and was brainwashed to the point he wouldn't believe the Ghosts looked for him even if they told him that. You honestly feel bad for Shepherd and Menendez. The former lost 30,000 troops and he couldn't do anything to stop it. The latter lost his only family. It's hard not to understand why they became villains. Great loss for both them made them become villains.

That arm grab that Sheperd Shrugs off in the MW2 Remastered campaign add so much to the scene.

What’s funny is that we know by Shepherd’s own words that much more than 30k soldiers died there bc he’s an Army general, and he said his men, meaning 30k Army soldiers alone died in that blast. But in that mission, we play as the Marines, and it also mentions Seal Team Six so the navy was also there in the mission. They all met the same fate, but it was MUCH more than just 30k in total

"Five years ago, I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just fucking watched." Always loved that delivery. 0:50

-I’m a mature human being -I’m not that kid who cried for two characters -I’m a mature human being -I’m a mature human being -ROACH,SOAP,NOO

Rorke and Menendez had legit reasons for becoming villians. Shepherd did what he did out of ego instead of learning from his errors, and Makarov was doing it for power.

Remember when old cod games had important and heartbreaking in every moment, that moment is gone😢

Sheperd And Menendez: Broken Makarov/Dragovich/Steiner: Pure Evil Rorke: Influenced

Makarov didn’t went a villain because of that: the real reason is he was a spetsnaz captain moved to chechenia in 90’ and he and his men under his command, commited war crimes, and UN, NATO and russian government found it, his only chance was to quit the army. He got angry because he felt a patriot that his country and his allies treated like a filthy man, and began teaching his training and military knowledge to terrorist PMC, until met Zakhaev and join in. All this is showed in the Makarov’s intel gatheres by Sheperd in No russian’s intro and cod wiki website.

General shepherd is the perfect anti-villain of the modern warfare series. It’s a great tragedy to lose 30,000 soldiers on the battlefield in less than a few seconds. Even worse if you were the general commanding those troops. General shepherd felt great guilt for losing all those troops while at the same time American pride was destroyed. That’s why he started Ww3 so that his legacy could be to instead win the next world war instead of being a failed general who lost 30k troops.

Rourke burrowed his plane escape from Bane.

Why did they become evil? The scripwriter wrote their fate.

Shepherd Lost 30,000 men, Betraying Joseph Allen's identity from Makarov at NO RUSSIAN, Betraying the Rangers from the end of WOLVERINES mission and now Betraying Ghost and Roach..

finally… a new cod video idea and not the same cod video with a different title

To Menendez' reasons, his reasons goes way back even before his sister's death. №1 "Menendez spent the first part of his childhood during his country's tumultuous years in the Nicaraguan Revolution. Seeing firsthand the horrors the US-backed Contras conducted on his fellow countrymen would sow the seeds for his hatred against the United States" - COD Fandom №2 "A year after the quake, his only sister Josefina was horribly disfigured and crippled from a fire in a warehouse the two were seeking shelter in". "The warehouse was burned down by its American owner in order to collect $11,000 through insurance fraud. This tragedy would further embitter Raul Menendez towards the United States" - them as well. №3 "CIA was sent in to eliminate Raul's father in a U.S. sanctioned assassination, an assassination that a young Raul observed and escaped in a pick up truck in the events of Call of Duty Black Ops: Declassified. This would deepen Raul's already unstable hatred towards the United States" - them again. Basically, the death of Josefina was just the last straw on his patience. Therefore he wanted anyone involved in death of his sister to suffer from the fact of loss itself, not JUST because it was about his sister.

"Villains are made not born" ~Somebody

In addition of Makarov lore. There was a split amongst Ultranationalist between Makarov and Vorshevsky. Except, Vorshevsky ousted Makarov from politics for numerous reasons.

Woah woah woah... I didn't know the Command from CoD4 was Shepherd! I knew the part that Shepherd had lost 30,000 USMC soldiers... but I didn't know Shepherd's the one who's talking to Vasquez, and Captain Price whole game!!!

Man I feel bad for Rorke tho, like my guy didn’t phase through those bars like the ghost he is, fell in some water, got captured and got brainwashed into becoming a ghost buster

Now I know a bit of everything about why Shepherd betrayed TF141 and how he was working together with Makarov compared to the original games then the remakes at least og General Shepherd put up a fight, unlike the other one

I actually tried to save Rorke by holding onto him but the game never lets that. they will fail the mission if you did not let go of him

Bro you post every single day and... I love that

It’s cool seeing all the Call of duty series have some sort of connection.

5:15 i wish they make ghosts 2 but nope they not make ghosts 2 rip

Rorke is my favourite

Every villain has a story💔

We never getting a fucking sequel to ghosts. Honestly the campaign was great. Ending on a cliffhanger was the worst decision they made also I would love to play as Hesh and to see how Logan felt. Like the entire game us Logan were doing all the crazy shit and what not and we kept getting ordered by Hesh and it pissed me off. Like I am clearly the superior soldier and we are of equal rank why you ordering me around all the time. It would make a great villain characteristics. Kept being told what to do etc. Always being better yet treated the same.

Because every great story with Heroes must have Villains.

Menendez was already a villain before his sister’s death

Very nice explanation dude! I love it!!

it might not be canon but in call of duty declassified I believe Menendez's dad gets killed and Menendez gets away on a truck

Melendez really acted like he didnt brutally torture woods???? like bro, of course he gon murk ur luh sister lmfao

Rorke wasn’t just brainwashed. He was already breaking within himself after the fall. He talks about it in his journal.

Shepherr hit hard because he fuckin lost 30000 men under his command and it hit so hard

Rorke could have just grab Elias' leg and not slipping out of that chopper.

Shepherd irritated: 2:15 Call of Duty Modern Warfare begins with Imran Zakhaev and ends with Makarov

Makarov is my favorite villain in the call of duty franchise.

As a kid we loved heroes, as an adult we understand the villains

Ok I never actually went deep dive into the cod lore, but 3:33 is deeply disturbing yet sad

Sheperd did not only do that for revenge but also because he wanted everyone that knew about his connection with Allen (the one you play as in no russian) dead

Watching the Menendez clip makes me so hype for BO6

such a master piece the stories back than were so good

I don't know about you, but I actually feel pity for Menendez..

I will forever love the fact that they added in Roach grabbing Shepard’s wrist. It’s a small change, but beautiful

"When has Shepherd ever cared about danger close?"

Menendez was understandable why he became a villain.

Guagua Mendez had every right to be a villain

Why isn't Irons, Taylor, Kotch, Dragovich and Barkov? 😢

Criminals, psychopaths and heartbreaks don't happen for nothing, especially if it hurts TOO much - a soldier who laughed death in the face

i cry way to much when this happens

In the gta verse: General shepherd was a respected general during the old gulf war and war on terror of 1995. After the bojinka event, he had led a huge group of marines to handle all the terrorists and rogue regimes that harm citizens. Even in a post Cold War setting, the new big enemy had become the M E C. A coalition of Islamic nations who defy the western nations. The weapons that the M E C are Drakan tech. Very advanced for the Islamic community to own. And it was also aided with some terror group links. And that one event with which General Khalid Al Assad overthrows king Yaseer Al Fulani of his country and his country was very USA friendly and this tested his arrogance for the worst. He led his 30,000 marines into the country and reached the capital. And little did he know that it was a trap. As a nuclear bomb exploded and created a huge explosion and radiated the city for years to come. Killed his 30,000 marines and many more innocent people in the city. This mentally broke him. Even he witnessed that the reactions of the public are shock and non reactionary. And that to him made him think the public has gotten soft and very spiteful. And unpatriotic. That the public wasn’t patriotic for the lost marine lives out there. That instead of filling up the marine numbers. It would take giving war into their home fronts to make the American public feel patriotic and worth sacrificing their lives to defend their homeland if necessary. This ticked the dark side on shepherd.

I can truly say that Raul Menendez is still the number one villain in whole Call of Duty series.

makrov said i will kill guy who killed zakhaev but soap killed zakave and makarov killed soap

In Cod 4 Shock and Awe Mission Seal Team 6 Killed Imran Zakhaev Horseman who was Guarding The Nuclear Device. Also i felt that Battle was in its later Stages when Sgt Paul Jackson Squad Shows up so we never saw the Beginning stages of that Mission

Modwarf 3 was still best end shame ghost not alive now replace him :c

Makarov is the evillest villan out there. He does not give a shit a is a physco

Ghost was a hero and Roach but Shepherd killed them😭

I’ll have like it if, Makarov was like your average Final Fantasy Protagonist, a Villain who is secretly the Hero, like Zaheer from TLOK but more tactical. That his whole plan was to give his country “The Chill Pill” and restore balance, by giving The West and The East more than what they could shew through WW3 and thus convince them that WAR was bad for the community. 1. Makarov value his country but Zakhaev was an old guesser that was stuck in the past. So Makarov started to move his own pieces. 2. The Nuke in Basra was Zakhaev’s idea not Makarov’s, and with a heavy heart he carry on his orders. Instead to saying “Today we show the World our True Strength” he would have said “Today the World takes an Unexpected Turned.” 3. Once Makarov took over and started to put the pieces into place, Yuri try to stop him but Makarov shot him in the leg knowing he would survive, for Makarov have already come to far to stop then, thus leading to the events of “No Russian.” 3. In MW3, he kidnapped President Vorshevsky, in order to extended the WAR, with the excuse that he wanted the Nuclear Lunch Codes. Why did y’all think Vorshevsky didn’t gave them up despite being “tortured” for months, cause Makarov’s True Plan was just to keep him around for him to just play along until Russia finish draining out their own resources and finally convince themselves to start asking for Vorshevsky back to sued for PEACE. Thus Makarov’s setting up “Down The Rabbit’s Hole.” 4. After the war, Makarov knew that he was the Final Loose End, and thus he waited for Price’s “Threat Call” to start setting up his own “Last Stand” thus leading to “Loose Ends.”

Would have been cool to see Zakeav’s.

Hands down best villains with reasonable revenge. Barkov, new Makarov, etc are have no legit reason to do war crime, because they don't need to. They could go home meet their kids or have regular life like common people do

Shepherd and rorke had good reasons and they were never the bad guys. Shepherd lost 30,000 men, good men and women who he trained, served, and became good friends with and everyone is just not going to care about the dead. Shepherd did the right thing for his men. Rorke didn’t want to kill his friends, he was brainwashed nobody can’t overcome that and I don’t believe that the ghost never cared for Rorke if they did Elisa should’ve never let go and they would’ve never given up on him. I don’t blame Rorke for wanting them dead cause he feels like they abandoned him and left him to die. Makarov and menendez are just pure evil I don’t think they deserve a reason

Dude not a single detail escapes you xD

Where is Nikita dragrovich and Imran zackhaev and the villian in bo3 ???

Makarov became a villain because he saw his dad hang himself after the collapse of the Soviet Union Makarov blamed his father’s death for the collapse of the Soviet Union so he joined the Ultranationalists

Out of nothing at all, no real reason Meanwhile Menendez...

"Villians are not born, they are made"

there was information in the dsm (or whatever it is) about shepherd hiring makarov for no Russian mission, if it leaks then he'll have to face consequences so he betrayed tf-141

So basically shepherd lost his mind after watching his men die?

“At this point” brother, he betrayed them from the moment we booted the game up for the first time lmao

Never played the remastered versions but man do the gunshots suck.

Shepherd is not command in that mission but yeh you can clearly hear a difference in voices

MENENDEZ WAS TRULY BROKEN HE DID NOT CARE ABOUT HIS OWN LIFE HE CARED ABOUT GETTING REVENGE FOR HIS SISTER NO MATTER WHAT THE COST

i am not afraid about a Spoiler alert because i finished this game with xbox 360

For me, Cod Ghost was the one that was the most tragic because hes the only villian to survive. Imagine all the things you've done, but it didn't matter because a man with a durag beatead your ass with his bare hands. 5:19

I don't understand how general Shepard lost 30,000 marines. When he's a general in the army.

“5 years ago, I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye, and the world just fucking watched” is a quote all of us real ones remember so well🙏

One mans villain is another mans hero

Fun fact. Rorke is the only cod villain to win,aside from a possible ending to B02 and we STILL haven't got a cod ghosts 2😃...so dumb. Such an underrated villain and overhated game in the series.

I have cal of duty modern warfare 1 remastered im new im at deqth from above mission i didint know captain price would betray the good guys:(

Get to this man 1 milion subs please, he deserve a lot ❤❤❤

You forget Jonathan Irons

but i dont understand one thing when they wanted to save the pilot why others didnt retreat like they could have left them there one super cobra then others will be maybe in the safe distance

Pride Power Revenge

Ghosts really should have a sequel if not for the gameplay but at least for the story. They already make effectively the same game every year, let us get closure on Ghosts amazing story!

shepherd's 30k soldiers was actually killed by makarov

i felt bad for rorke

But in “shock and awe” (the mission where the nuke goes off) they are Marines and General Shepherd’s in the Army so it wouldn’t make sense that the Marines would be under him.

When I was 6 or 7 I didn't know any of this I just play lol

So, I noticed the MWZ Warlord Legacy looks ALOT like Shepard. Is that intentional?

tbh i miss jhason

Shepard I would say is Insane not Evil. In Aftermath he was saying Juliet. I would say he's Broken more than just Evil

To be honest, Rorke had one of the dumbest motivations… “My allies abandoned me!” meanwhile one of said allies almost went down with you and only let go for operational integrity. The enemy just so happened to find you before your allies did.

Third guy in thumbnail look like swift from alternate timeline 😂😂😂

Menendez did it for revenge Makarov did it for power *dragovich did it because i am bad Russian guy yes*

Shepherd betrayed Task Force not because of his 30,000 men. Task Force was never responsible for it. Shepherd betrayed them because he wanted to be declared a hero for himself only (and Shadow Company that he hired) after killing Makarov.

Makarove didnt like how russia was building relations with the west thinking it makes them soft and weaker he wanted a completely ultranationalist russia he wanted it to be the only dominant world superpower

God cod4 was so good

Now we know some good guys use to be villains
