- Shepherd's Third Betrayal That You Didn't Know! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ap6Pm7xl1NDchHk.html - Why Makarov Helped Price? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9ehrMl8qs2zcnk.html You might like to watch these videos I appreciate your support, thank you.

i feel like they would've died, old COD actually had the balls to kill people off, but if it was modern day COD sabre and faucon would probably show up on the final mission and say "we weren't actually in France"

I remember that they were only ever playable in one map in multiplayer, and never used more than that

What I loved about the original mw series, is that it made u feel the dread that Makarov creates. Walking through Paris with dead civilians spread around the map, imagine the psychological torment of them seeing everyone dying around them and unable to do anything about it. For me as a New Yorker felt total dread fighting through nyc, seeing flooded tunnels with dead civilians everywhere. Idk what it is about the new mw games but there’s no sense of danger. Like u know the characters, u kinda know who dies that it’s not as impactful.

It's sad how the GIGN lost so much and were cut down practically to a man. I'm certain most players don't remember them, but many still do. We fought with them right to the end, and they fought beside us just as hard. They gave their lives so we could complete the mission and capture Volk, so they should be remembered for their bravery, fearlessness in the face of insurmountable odds, and for their heroic sacrifice. Sabre, Faucon, and everyone in the GIGN, they were all heroes, and should be remembered as such.

Fun fact, the GIGN, have likely rescued more hostages than any other western SOF unit, including CAG and the SAS. This is due to their heavy involvement in hostage crisis domestically and abroad, particularly in the former colonies of France. S'engager pour la vie!!!

I always tried to keep at least one non essential NPC alive in the campaigns

This is why it's my favorite mission. Reasons... 1. That music of shooting in the bookstore(Juggernaut Theme) 2. "Link up complete" 3. AC-130(Warhammer) air support 4. Chasing Volk(love this epic chase)

As a french , Walking and fighting through this Mission , Was Personnal to me.

0:50 Sabre's begging for you to go fast and you're casually crouching XD

For those who doesn't understand french: 1:04 "merde" litteraly "f*ck" or "crap" 1:14 "aller grouille toi" means "hurry" 4:37 "je suis désolé" means "i'm sorry" 5:13 "bienvenue" means "welcome" Also the gign operators names are in french too(kinda logic lol) but there is too much of them and we don't see all of them so i won't write their names

0:28 GIGN Commander Morel: THIS IS GIGN HQ MY MEN ARE DEAD OR DYING I'VE BEEN EXPOSED

bro what the fuck happened to cod, its campaign went from an original military themed world saving story to a shitty executed bond film with zreo coherent lore and the MP went from the same to fuckin fortnite with to much mechanical bloat

I searched on the cod wiki that faucon and sabre actually survived. The commander we saw in the briefing was pronounced kia 0:29 in the wiki. For tueur he was either alive or kia

I think they have a decent of chance of surviving after Delta Force leaves. They can attempt to go back through the sewers.

I like to think they survived and escaped once Metal Team entered the police van.

My head cannon is that if you make it to the Van quickly enough before they get onto the street, they'll cover you till you're out of sight and then they retreat back the way they came and re-linked up with their squad towards the start of the level. Or they re-linked with other French forces in the area. But only if you move quickly to where they're still near the building.

When I was a kid, the only GIGN image I could recognize was from Counter-Strike 1.6. The blue uniform, the shield helmet and that's it. I played this game when I was very young and was so excited to see GIGN in another game. Therefore, I was also hoping that I'd get to see the other special forces too. Sadly, I didn't understand English nor MW story back then, and a decade later from made me learned that EU forces in the game were almost wiped out.

Sabre and Faucon's Sacrifice will be remembered ✊😔

According to the wiki, Sabre is still alive.

It’s refreshing to see peoples talking french in cod, it makes me feel happy.

1:55 i think he was wearing a full face mask tightly or he got shot

Here's a sad fact: just like the real world, they don't get remembered at all, and if this war get in COD MW universe history books, they'll get forgeted or just mentioned in the numbers of deaths, no one will know what they did, no one will know the sacrifices, no one gives a damn, the only one who will remember this will be Frost (after all, he's the only alive from this team, Sandman and the others die, Frost is the only one who don't get a death so...yeah, of course Sandman and the others *will* get remembered, they sacrifice themselfs on the Russian President eyes), now, we only know about these sacrifices because we're playing, but what if we don't play with Frost and this still happen? You get my point? We won't even know about them, their story, their names, and that's also the world we live as well, how much people sacrifice themself in a war to save others, but in the end no one give them a spot in lights about their bravery? In the end, they only will be another number of deaths without memory or anything.

Remember, GIGN are French Swat. They handle terrorist cells and hostage situations. They are not trained for warfare, making their last stand even more impressive.

Thank you for this video ! As a young french teenager when the game came out, already interested in getting into such workspaces, this part of MW3 always hit me.

The OG MW series story and soundtrack was really top notch. Sad they cant replicate this now

Really like your videos! They cover things that not many think about let alone make videos over! Loved the GIGN in this game, this was my first cod and I loved all the different factions, their equipment, guns, insignias etc.

I was actually hurt to hear Sandman had a friend a Satory and the GIGN was hit at their barracks at night with a chemical attack. Here's the GIGN who've died from this war.

Sabre survived as he drives a jeep in one of the side ops where you have to download data from the catacomb about the chemical strike

so cool that you cover these factions and characters. i honestly missed most of the stuff you cover because there's always so much action and gunfights in cod that i miss the story and details. like yesterday i had to look up shepherd because i didnt understand why he betrayed ghost and roach. i didnt agree with his logic.

A few thing to adress here. 1° GIGN isn't a special force. This is becoming tiresome to repeat, but it's necessary to precise, because MW3 pretty much engraved in the spirit of way too many people that the GIGN was somehow the French equivalent of SAS and Delta. They are not. French special forces are a very specific set of unit placed under special operation command. GIGN isn't one of them. You actually have a lot of COS unit stationned outside of Paris. You can be pretty sure 1st RPIMa (SAS) or the Commando Marines would be there to link up with whatever is left of GIGN way before Delta can board their chopper. 2° rank inaccuracies. I see "GIGN CMDR", "CPL" and "SGT". Thoses ranks are rather inaccurate. The commander of the GIGN isn't a "commander" (and that rank doesn't really exist, since there are "chef d'escadron", which are addressed as "commandant" and is officially translated "major"). It's a general. There are also no corporal or sergeant in the gendarmerie, even less in the GIGN. Corporal are rank and file in the French army, the Gendarmerie is a branch pretty much fully crewed by NCO. The gendarmerie has brigadier, which are corporal equivalent, but thoses do not work in the GIGN. The rank of sergeant is actually called and translated as "gendarme". Only the rank of staff sergeant exist, which is a translation of "maréchal des logis chef". 3° GIGN is actually way bigger than that. GIGN also doesn't spend all their time waiting in Satory. There is also more than one team and they actually rotate. It's highly possible there are some team training or working somewhere else in France and that they woud be called back to help. 4° Satory being attacked is a bigger deal than you think. Satory is pretty much a city sized military base. You have a lot of unit stationned there. You have the amored squadrons of the mobile gendarmerie and a lot of various ground army technical services that generally work closely with the DGA. In case of an attack, way more than the GIGN compound was impacted by this.

1:50 bro was simply build different. he had to be killed off otherwise he would have been the protagonist of MW4

There are alot of points in MW2 and 3 where the soldiers that are with you could've easily gotten into a transport with you and left but stay behind to die for no reason lol

Dude i just subscribed to your channel.. i'm impressed with how detailed you are in noticing all those little tiny details

Great video ! Sabre and Faucon, true heroes !

What I loved about the og mw games is besides the blockbuster action set pieces, the chatter between soldiers and main characters felt real and dire. One mission that comes to mind is "loose ends" from the very beginning the mission conveys the feeling of somethings off.

Rest in peace GIGN Forces, know that I cherished every moment with yall 🫡

2:36 I couldn't stop laughing LOL

Looking back on these classic og games that came out 10+ years ago. The one thing that made them great were adding a ,realistic ,dark ,Grizzly atmosphere and that what made them so great I even Learned everything about ww2 thanks Cod World at War.

I love relevant the old cods are becoming again, we need this type of story telling back in shooter games.

This is the best game ever made. i played it 5 times, and ready to do it again after some time.

Genuinely was my favorite multiplayer faction to play as. Their gear just looked so cool especially the masked up ones

Man I love your videos ❤

it actually makes sense that a police force gets obliterated during a full scale war whilst they are for sure a very good counter terrorism uniit combat is something very different

I think one of the biggest let downs in this game was how little we got to see/interact with local military units across europe (france and germany especially).

I remember playing this mission as a kid loved it

their resources were spread thin they didn’t have enough gas masks for everyone yet men still went in regardless of the risk of chemical attack they probably didn’t have alot of weapons or ammo either and were using whatever they have left in the fight some probably even taking weapons from dead enemies to keep fighting and i think the reason why you can’t keep any of them alive regardless of how hard you try is because they were all meant to die in the end with maybe only a few survivors in total

I swear every old cod mission deserves a medal of honor

You know, I never really looked at the GIGN in this mission as much, with all the moving parts the mission had but God...DAMN 🫡🫡🫡🫡

Remember when cod actually took itself seriously and wasn't just a $70 cash grab? I remember

Make video about tank crew, i think they have special dialogue at the end

As a french i was so happy to fight with GIGN in mw3

GIGN were the biggest vibe in MW3... I adored playing as them with my trusty G36c in multiplayer ...

This mission always stood out to me because in video games, we don't get a lot of coverage of special forces other than American or British organizations. Which makes sense, since the US by far has the largest worldwide reach and Britain is the United States' principal ally on the world stage. But it is nice to see others get screen time.

Off topic music in this game was insanely good

This cod is the second one I played the first was ghost you just remined my how sad it is

Original Modern warfare are great,you can feel the horror of warfare no cutscenes just straight out face slap into your POV.

Last time I remembered, Overlord sent QRF to link up with them from behind and ask them to leave marks. So GIGN lives were depending on how quick the QRF backups have arrived (and where did the GIGN retreat to). Therefore, we can't conclude if they were killed or not.

I noticed them running to their deaths, never took much notice but I was like “what are you doing!?”

Walking through the catacombs of paris gave me chills when i was a child playing cod2mw

Man i remember 10 year old me replaying the game for like the 50th time and trying to save npcs, specifically in this mission i remember the most

Yuri Lowenthal Voicing the GIGN Commander is ironic considering he voiced Pip Bernadotte from the Hellsing OVA's

When the old cod paints how brutal and serious Russian was

I swear to god gign have so much aura, put them in this position is kinda unrealistic but it’s for the clout so… so good to see them on the game 🎉

I was able to protect the two Gign guys. It was a pain but so worth it.

GIGN are the only team which have the most banger spawn theme in multiplayer

i remember play mw3 and in this mission save the sgt. philippe and tueur, sometimes one it stays behind and the other is in cover on the corner

One of my Favorite missions in mw3

GIGN are the French equivalent to FBI HRT. Both are top SWAT teams and have special operations capabilities. GIGN is a Law Enforcement Unit just Like HRT. See a lot of comments saying asking how a unit like this would take so many casualties. Their bread and butter is CQB and hostage rescue. In reality in open combat they would be out of their element.

2 guys against a hundred ? Sounds like Bir Hakeim all over again. Piece of cake.

I have to play this game again

It’s crazy how a decade ago we used to think that Russia invading both the USA and Western Europe at the same time was something possible. The recent war in Ukraine showed that an invasion like that would be completely impossible.

I hope Activision do a remake of MW3 like they did for 1&2, I'm fond of MW3

I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥺

Alpha, you should try do a next video: Where did Makarov, Volk, and Fregata Industries get those chemical weapons from? Do you think they could be coming from Nova-6?

Fun fact : The GIGN operator called "tueur" can be translated to "killer"

4:12 mannn who knows sandman probably sent frost BACK up to close the manhole because sandman forgot to. lol

I mean they could've survived but it's going to take a miracle. GIGN guys are nuts but they're still human.

Fye

I was also gonna say what happens to Frost, as we know he was alive at the end of Scorched Earth where he had no injuries and missed the presidents daughter by a couple seconds, then the next mission into the Rabbit hole, you play as Yuri with Price and Delta Force at your side, but Frost isn’t there, it’s the whole team and a solider named McCoy who dies before you get off the intro elevator, well Frost was initially gonna be in McCoy’a spot with a couple voice lines but was was cut out instead, so in the mission he was actually the one who planted the charges to blow up the mine as that was his task, he survived and was extracted by chopper unfortunately his team didn’t suffer that same fate.

We only got to see them 1 time

I wish new cod done the big war missions again with the stealth. The new ones seem to stealth focused.

Ok I've come to say this that Sabre and Faucon survived the operation after Metal team captured Volk I've looked in each sources that both survived the overrun probably running back where they came out, in some sources it says that Sabre and Faucon regrouped with other surviving GIGN and military forces after the operation. at least they have the chance to live to honor their fallen brothers

ODA 595 is an ODA which deployed in the early 2000's if you have ever watched the movie 12 strong ODA 595 is the real unit that that movie is based upon. In Afghanastan they essentially rode horses with the Northern Alliance in Afghanastan and trained them.

And also you can save the 2 agents in the final battle in the mission name turbulence I thought if you manage to keep them alive they would shoot at Makarov

It says in the cod wiki they survive the operation

We need a mw3 remaster to complete the story

This mission in MW3 was weird, one of the GIGN had my last name

Gign Forces, is awsome in call of duty

Man Where's Montagne when we need him.

4:00 Maybe you came back up and they went down first when the screen blacked

I just think its crazy that GIGN even lasted as long as they did considering they're pretty much just the French version of the US SWAT. I do understand that they just did what they had to as realistically in the event of an invasion the police force are expected to continue to uphold law and order and to also oppose the invading force as much as possible.

In last seen for escape you have run over two heavyweight infantry fighting vehicles by light weight van that's impossible.

The time when cod still have a life

Secondary/minor characters >>> Main characters

What people seem to not know about the GIGN is they're not exactly special forces or even army - They're Law Enforcement. They're essentially French SWAT.

We need the GIGN return in mw3 seasons later 🥲🥲 maybe season 5 where makarov plans a attack on Paris

RIP snail eaters

I still don't know what happened to sabre and his men.

Calling them in on survival and watching your AI GIGN comrades get cut down slowly is so sad 😪
