After surviving more than six assassination attempts, and having been reported dead at least 17 times, Savimbi was killed on 22 February 2002, in a battle with Angolan government troops along riverbanks in the province of Moxico, his birthplace.[26] In the firefight, Savimbi sustained 15 gunshot wounds to his head, throat, upper body and legs. While Savimbi returned fire, his wounds proved fatal; he died almost instantly. Rip

I live in Angola, and this war has really destroyed the country. It has put Angola in the state that it is in right now. :/

0:39 I love how the 2 soldiers just disappear when Savimbi says "we will give them a fight"

The nostalgia that just rushed through my brain is insane man. Im glad KZfaq recommended this video. Such a great game. When times were good .

The Angolan Civil War (Portuguese: Guerra Civil Angolana) was a civil war in Angola, beginning in 1975 and continuing, with interludes, until 2002. The war immediately began after Angola became independent from Portugal in November 1975. The war was a power struggle between two former anti-colonial guerrilla movements, the communist People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the anti-communist National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA). The war was used as a surrogate battleground for the Cold War by rival states such as the Soviet Union, Cuba, South Africa and the United States.[43] The MPLA and UNITA had different roots in Angolan society and mutually incompatible leaderships, despite their shared aim of ending colonial rule. A third movement, the National Front for the Liberation of Angola (FNLA), having fought the MPLA with UNITA during the war for independence, played almost no role in the Civil War. Additionally, the Front for the Liberation of the Enclave of Cabinda (FLEC), an association of separatist militant groups, fought for the independence of the province of Cabinda from Angola.[44] With the assistance of Cuban soldiers and Soviet support, the MPLA managed to win the initial phase of conventional fighting, oust the FNLA from Luanda and become the de facto Angolan government.[45] The FNLA disintegrated, but the U.S. and South Africa-backed UNITA continued its irregular warfare against the MPLA-government from its base in the east and south of the country. The 27-year war can be divided roughly into three periods of major fighting - from 1975 to 1991, 1992 to 1994 and from 1998 to 2002 - with fragile periods of peace. By the time the MPLA achieved victory in 2002, between 500,000 and 800,000 people had died and over one million had been internally displaced.[41][40] The war devastated Angola's infrastructure and severely damaged public administration, the economy and religious institutions. The Angolan Civil War was notable due to the combination of Angola's violent internal dynamics and the exceptional degree of foreign military and political involvement. The war is widely considered a Cold War proxy conflict, as the Soviet Union and the United States, with their respective allies, provided assistance to the opposing factions. The conflict became closely intertwined with the Second Congo War in the neighbouring Democratic Republic of the Congo and the South African Border War. Land mines still litter the countryside and contribute to the ongoing civilian casualties.[41]

"Sometimes, it's too late to save a man". This line gets me

Savimbi was actually a very interesting man. An intellect, master of diplomacy and an excelelnt guerrilla fighter.

I get the feeling that them finding a shipping container full of dead soldiers is based off a real story...horrifying, but super realistic immersive gameplay.

I loved Alex mason. Always trying to save others no matter what. He was my favorite character in the whole COD series. Always gets me, him going back for his brother no matter what.

Rest in Peace Savimbi. I don't care what anyone says but that dude was a badass and this mission only furthers this opinion for me. For those who didn't know Jonas Savimbi was a very real man and a military war hero to the people of Angola in the 1970s who fought for his people's independence and freedom. RIP Jonas Savimbi 1934-2002.

The peak of cod. What a time it was getting to play master pieces like this game. Kids these days will never understand

Never thought I'd be traumatised from watching a game but that opening scene was genuinely horrifying.

this opening scene is way too brutal! Massacre as its finest! Total butchery and slaughter!

I feel like BO2 gets forgotten. Between this and fighting with the Mujahedeen BO2 had some epic moments.

Brutal and quite impressive gameplay.. much better then a movie..

The Quotes of Jonas Savimbi 0:37 Jonas Savimbi: THEY WANT A FIGHT WE GIVE THEM A FIGHT MOVE OUT 1:21 Jonas Savimbi: here they come here they come my Brothers FIGHT MY BROTHERS 5:58 Jonas Savimbi: THEY ARE WEAK WE MUST FINISH THEM 6:25 Jonas Savimbi: our journey to victory has begun DEATH TO THE MPLA

I got told Savimbi was a hero by my father who I didn't have much of a relationship with on a phone call once. Savimbi was definetly the man to run a whole army against MPLA

24:03 Frank Woods: you can't kill me

This man... was important to us.... No comunism and was helped by the big nations, since MPLA won, this was a big disaster, people though that was a better idea but it led to comunism. From 2002-2018. To people who support Savimbi, you're choosing the right path and if UNITA eventually wins the elections, i think Angola will be a big nation.

I remember playing it. It felt like an amazing movie that time

love this battle it makes me feel like I am in Warhammer 40K with all chaos and melee combat going on with gun fighting.

Well, I was born in Angola but my parents sent me to the USA in 1999 I was just a little boy at 7 years old, but I still have those memories with me.

this is one of my favorite missione in all of COD, so atmospheric

I hope that all COD fans know that savimbi was a brutal warlord

Omg! I still remember 2013. Feels like I travel back to the time when for the first time I played this game.❤️

The beginning made it personal and it felt so real

Stop watching this brother, we must fight the MPLA

Lol, I can’t believe Jonas Savimbi’s children tried to sue the developers of this game because they thought it painted him in a negative light.

Great and beautiful memories of the past . Mason & Woods & Hudson & reznov 🖤

Their fighting style is like that of the Japanese soldiers in WWII.

"Sometimes its to late to save a man" he is right

Cunene Province Angola in 1986 🇦🇴

the award of the most iconic line in gaming history goes to:DEATH TO THE MPLA!

This was always one of my favorite missions in bo2

WE DESPERATELY NEED A BO2 REMASTERED VERSION

Amo a Angola aqui do Brasil, somos lusófonos

Angola🇦🇴: sent in 1986 U.S. Army🇺🇸, 1926 to 1996 cartoon movies 🎥🎞️ and 2006-2016 DreamWorks Animation and Animated Movies🎥🎞️

This was a very fun mission to play, graphics did not matter, it felt like I was in a movie

12:28 Alex Mason: FRANK it's me it's me Mason

6:25 Our journey to victory has begun! DEATH TO THE MPLA!!!!!!!

Before the memes my brother used to interrupt me when i was talking to my friends by going “HERE THEY COME! HERE THEY COME MY BRUTTAAS!! FIIIIIGGHT MY BRUHTTAAS!!!!” It used to get me mad but now I miss that 😭 Edit xD: 1:20

This was the first COD i’ve ever played looks so good for a game that old

When he said "what are the Cubans doing here"...the soldier talking to the kids was talking in something like porteguese, and only until after they left did the other soldiers start talking Spanish, which is what they talk in Cuba

OLD BUT GOLD ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

my family fought in the old SADF. in angola I often wonder if this is what it was like to fight over there.

man... old gold times.. nostalgic.. miss those days.

What I find interesting is how the MLPA has a lack of uniforms in this game making them look like rebels while in reality they were the governmental faction with better uniforms while UNITA were the rebels, UNITA still had uniforms, but not camouflaged compared to MPLA. Goes to show how historically inaccurate COD can be.

Would ya'll believe the real Savimbi had a high, nasal voice?

Black Ops II will forever be my #1 COD game of all time! 🤘🏻

The best CoD games are those unapologetic ones, the ones with the "fuck your feelings" theme. "This is war, there're no heroes in war, it's never beautiful, deal with it."

someone noticed that in minute 0:37 2 soldiers dissapears?

Remember putting the disk in the xbox on Christmas night with my entire family watching, and then this scene came on lol

4:21 DAMN!

Conflito na savana.....em campo aberto isso sim é divertido em um game

I remember playing this on my Wii U and Xbox so nostalgic 😢

One of the best missions in COD history, hands down

0:38 6:25 And that’s how a Meme was born.

I always loved your work bruv..keep it up..

This game made me become a man at the age of 5

Love this i remember the first time i played it cant never forget

Ver o cara queimando em 8K é louco demais 🥶🥶

6:24 The death to the mpla meme

13:23 Valkyrie Rocket Launcher

this mission was so bad ass

Savimbi is so badass here. A natural born warrior!

This was so hard on veteran. Seeing it on recruit is crazy. Woods had to have been eating human flesh and drinking pee to survive.

يوم كان عمري ٧ سنوات كنت احب هاذي الألعاب كنت اتابعه واستمتع بعد 🙂 مدري وش كنت احس يومه 😂😂

18:52 and that's how you should introduce an antagonist

“Try not to draw anymore attention”, *grabs an RPG 😂😂

3:34 Best Part

knowing that man actually existed is kinda scary

I really don´t know why did they picture the MPLA/FAPLA like this. They wore camo uniforms, not white undershirts.

15:11 in Angola Portuguese does not have a Brazilian Portuguese accent. It would be like a South African speaking the English of a Californian.

I always wondered what happens if you snipe Raul Menendes b4 you get into the radio house

Kinda wish there was one more mission set in Angola and we get the see the FNLA or something.

The best ever ! 🔥

Now this is the real call of duty

I love this game, Angolan.🤘🏿

This was my favorite mission back then

04:22 nope not today 😂

When you go to the mission Afghanistan in the game there's a sword you access the kit if you want it

When I played the mission,me and my partner tought that that man (the one that was burning) was woods lol

I have family members who fought in this war.

They really just sent waves of the same exact model.

Những sáng tác của Sỹ Luân nghe mãi ko phai.. Phúc hát rất hay và ấm áp

Christmas 2012, booting up bo2 campaign. Seeing the burning man in the beginning, good times…

The snicking part was the hardest when playing.

Kimbo Slice in Angola!!!!!

0:26 Jonas Savimbi RIP Angolan Legend ❤❤

Yeah Plus Masterpiece all times this game ! Ah... Memorys Of 2012 Golden Times ! +1 And Diamond Times Too ! +1 No Man Left Behind. -Mogadishu 1993.

Best Mission ngl😭

This was my childhood man❤

que nostalgia, eu me lembro desse jogo como se fosse ontem

This guy and Philip Graeves are best side characters..

Papua merdeka papua merdeka Papua merdeka Papua merdeka Papua merdeka 🇨🇺

Fighting beside of big leader Savimbi 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Best cod black ops of all time

I hate that my country (Cuba) had to be in the Angola civil war i feel bad bc at the time my country was in a very bad state and into a war that’s just bad and now Cuba is at the worst they ever been

this part touches me close...since I was born because my father unit wasn't required to go as reinforcement to Quito Cuanavale. He has to serve on the army as part of the mandatory military service...So good he wasn't deployed but manu cubans did...too many poor souls killed for nothing
