As much as i like these gorgeous cutscenes, i prefer the old way where its just your character in first person listening and seeing the cutscenes in real time.

that rapid firing 88mm must be one of Germany's famed Wunderwaffe

Unless they stop trying to pander these games to the younger kids, it'll never be as good as World At War.

“Who does the Army trust the most? Airborne! Who does the ladies love the most? Airborne! Who does the Nazi fear the most? Airborne!” -Medal of Honor Airborne Edit: Fixed some grammar errors

They really need to Remaster or Remake the Very first Call of Duty, because some of the Levels on the CoD 1 are very good and Memorable Especially the Volga River Crossing, imagine it with this Graphics

Just once I'd like to see a Normandy jump scene in a WW2 game where the C-47 doesn't get shot down as you jump out of it

I miss old COD when there was more historic accuracy and what exaggeration there was believable

Ah yes.... cutscenes that remove you from the action, invisible walls everywhere, basically corridor levels and scripted events everywhere, truly a wonder of gaming architecture right here

4:40 you would think the germans would look a little bit more aware or active considering enemy combatants are falling from the sky all around them.

It's like if cod modern warfare 2019 and cod world war II just had a baby.

this game seems to have a running theme of breaking immersion in every mission ive seen so far

26:44 gonna ignore how 2 German soldiers just super jumped onto that platform

No need to worry about this wwii fanfic

From the accents this is a British ww2 paratrooper unit. And unlike the United States the British didn’t have a segregated army and they had colonies some which had African or people of African descent in them. Some of these colonist faught in the British military. I believe the black character in this game is based of Off Sergeant Sidney Cornell, from Portsmouth. He was a paratrooper in the 6th Airborne Division of the British Army during World War II and landed in occupied France on June 6 1944 as part of Operation Deadstick.

All jokes aside this is for the new generation growing up. Please never forget what your great great grandfathers and grandmothers went through. Appreciate what you have and who you have. Most of these guys enlisted knowing there was a fat chance they'd never return.

While they were inside enemy territory Pierson and his squad were relaxing in their transport ships playing cards and betting their fingers for a religious collar

5:19 They really improved the deaths of enemy soldiers, this one is way more cinematic than just the soldier falling without interacting with the environment.

I am still disapointed they tried getting the world at war feel but got a MW2019 feel instead

17:21 - Clear a minefield… by blowing up just two mines at the very edge of the field, and then running headlong through the section you didn’t even clear… very nice!

These games are getting worse. They’re so predicts. The gameplay, the story, the dialog. You’ve played one you’ve played them all.

What I love about World War 2 games (or any game that take place in various moments in History) is because even if they are not exactly accurate, they bring the times into a new light and perspective - it is really cool.

I see Vanguard is doing what WWII did with the guns and is giving a giant middle finger to historical accuracy. Playing up the creative freedom, I understand. But a 20 round DETACHABLE magazine for the Kar98? A 64 round DRUM for the MP40? Come on, guys Edit: I'm aware of them being experimental hardware I'm aware this is 'jUsT a GaMe' I know my history for the most part I'm aware this game is some kind of alternate universe or reality or whatever

I remember the days when call of duty did historically accurate games

The whole "flare doesn't work, they're going to bombard our location" thing has been done so many times now. I swear every CoD in the past few years has had something nearly identical to this. Everything in this series has become so predictable.

Inaccuracies I've seen: 0:19 - The British Paratroopers do not have kit bags (aka leg bags) when in fact, they were the most experienced in jumping with it. 0:23 - Henry Baker's uniform looks weird in that it resembles a jumpsuit rather than using the Denison Smock that British Paratroopers would normally use. 0:32 - That is a patch of the 1st Allied Airborne Army which was only formed by August 1944 prior to Operation Market Garden, not Overlord. 2:01 - In a few frames, you see an M1 Garand which is impossible considering that they never went into circulation within the British Army. A more plausible weapon would have been the Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk. 1. 2:32 - If Arthur did have a leg bag when he jumped, there is a guarantee that he wouldn't be unarmed upon landing. Plus, it would have been great to explore how the leg bag would have been properly utilized as it was practically notorious for coming off after US paratroopers hit the prop blast upon jumping. 3:29 - The Stahlhelm insignia should not illustrate the German national colors. German High Command mandated against this by March 21, 1940. 4:43 - Arthur does not empty the full clip into the Kar98K. 4:47 - Almost all enemies seem to rank as Unterfeldwehbels or Sergeants. 5:35 - MP40 never had drum mags, only dual mags. But then again this is just Activision porting multiplayer mechanics into the campaign. 5:47 - It's true that the Kar98K had experimental trench magazines but loading the ammunition still required use of stripper clips. 7:24 - Germans in this game, no matter the period, seem to wear greatcoats, which is ironic considering that June 1944 is hardly winter. 7:37 - Webley IV is named Top Break though I assume this is due to copyright claims. 11:28 - There were only 100 Becker Revolving shotguns made but seeing this shotgun in German use is hardly possible since there were no shotgun units in the Wehrmacht. 13:51 - it is much more likely to see a Fairbarn-Sykes knife than a brass-knuckles Trench knife since the former was widely issued to Commandos, Parachute Regiment, SBS, and SAS. 15:18 - the M1918 BAR was used by the British, specifically its Home Guard units. A more accurate LMG would be the Bren Light Machine Gun. 15:25 - The real Merville Battery wasn't situated off a cliff, rather it was surrounded by grasslands and would probably be already zeroed on the beach. Tactically speaking, it would be unwise to put artillery by the cliffside knowing that the gun emplacements would be exposed to offshore bombardment from battleships. 16:30 - The real life account of the assault on the Merville Battery said that the paratroopers had to make do with Gammon grenades and plastic explosives. No Thermite grenades were used. 19:01 - The Nydar Model 47 sight was introduced after 1945 so it's presence here is anachronistic 20:15 - STG 44 was real but it first saw action in the Eastern Front. 21:15 - apparently the Germans are doing a Banzai charge when they have perfect cover. 23:40 - The battery guns should have been Czechoslovakian World War I-era 100mm field howitzers (Skoda houfnice vz 14/19) 26:31 - There was no offshore artillery to bombard the casemates since it was only a contingency measure should the paratroopers fail to capture the battery by 0500. 28:00 - What actually happened was the paratroopers had to withdraw after trying to disable the guns with limited small arms. Shortly after the Germans retook the position, two of the artillery guns were still operational and the battery itself would remain in German control until 17 August when the Germans would have to withdraw.

wow.. spent over half hour retrying this in vanguard and kept trying to take down the ones with jeeps at the front and dying over and over again. Had no clue I was supposed to take a right into forest. thanks for this really helped me out..

4:43 he picks up 3 bullets reloads with a 5 rnd clip but doesn’t put the last two in, and had no ammo left

"Jesus Christ! Daniel's down." *Does that mean that our old main character didn't make it?*

Reminds me of the parachute scene from the movie “Overlord”

Can we talk about how smooth that cutscene to gameplay switch was for this mission?

i know this is a video game, but RIP to all the legends that died in WWII 🙏🏼 thank you for your service

I’ve binged these videos all day, the COD series, and I must say my favourite is the WW2.

That white phosphorus part was brutal and awesome at the same time.

Wow, this is so realistic - I feel like I'm right there in the action, gun in hand, way back in 1995 when Time Crisis came out.

If COD1's Sgt.Evans and old Cpt.Price is part of the current COD universe, the nostalga will greatly hit those fans who have been playing since the start.

14:30 With how explosive everything is in this call of duty, I am surprised that the entire truck did not explode from that cig hitting those ammo crates.

It remembers me so much of the first mission from the first Call of Duty game. Only because of this, i will buy this game. For me it was the best COD to date.

I don't know how to describe what this series has become as a old CoD player from the very first CoD1. There are just so many unnecessary holly-wood moments that ruins the authenticity, for example that German soldier flying backwards after taking a rifle round at 3:40 .

15:13 the game devs clearly never did much research about the actual site of the Merville battery. Its further inland than that and there's no cliffs in the area along the coast, its all flat beach with small sand dunes behind them. The battery site layout is almost completely flat as well considering the fact that the British landed gliders on the site as well. They don't even get the time right, the battle for the battery happened at night.

This scene is not similar to Overlord intro scene, THIS IS overlord intro scene.

I’m pretty sure there’s no lights in the passenger section of the plane other than the jump light at the front by the door and the jumpmaster who are usually COs are supposed to sit next to the door until red light comes on to signal ready while green is jump (they jumped at red). No equipment check when hooking their chutes and by the looks of it there were no seats by the door for the jumpmaster so he basically stood there the whole plane ride lol I love that the standard practice in modern ww2 tripple A fps is to spend all their budgets into anything but research. All they need was to just buy a few books like band of brothers or to just watch the series

god i'm loving this standalone dlc from COD WW2

2:02 a British paratrooper drops a M1 garand into the flooded field….. seems legit. Shouldn’t that be a lee enfield lol

Anyone else think the tone of the campaign was weird? They set up this backstory with Kingsley and Webb only for Webb to be killed in a 3-second, blink-and-you-miss-it cutscene.

although i admire cinematic cutscenes i prefer to be the cutscene itself with my character like in the good old days, i want to be there in the game myself like the early cod games

The intro cutscene is directly from the movie Overlord where the plane containing the main character gets set on fire and the dramatic gunfire is shown while in the air with the main character landing in the water

Looks nice, gameplay of the last COD in WW2 was one off the best, and still love to play that game.

This part of the game is very well done! Cinematic!

I’ve played cod my whole life since the original, and tbh I love the campaigns more than multiplayer, This seems to me like it’s going back to its roots campaign wise, and I love it. Can’t wait to play it tomorrow now multiplayer eh.

Most of us hate vanguard but let's be honest. The cutscenes are like a movie. Pretty cinematic and cool

The cutscenes are honestly the best thing about this game

I enjoyed this mission and the stalingrad mission. But when I got to the pacific mission. I literally had to pause the game cause one of the Japanese soldiers had a STG44. That's the kind of stuff you see in bfv multi-player. Makes me realize that they half assed the pacific campaign.

The opening is almost as the same of the overlord movie. There shouldve been a mission where you hunt down those super soldiers. it will be terrifying

In 5:07 you can recall the house design that was also played in a mission from cod4 mw1 "Hunted".

Kingsley: *Attacks a german fortification, defying his superior* Also Kingsley: *Gets arrested as soon as they are clear of german lines, bucking rank is a serious offense*

Whoever can point out all historical inaccuracies is indeed a chad

Reminds me so much of the opening scene from overlord. Dudee this is actually badass

The black guy through his cigarette on the Ammo box !! LOL

The jump out of the C-47, chute, and free fall again is the best part to me. The flaming, falling guy a vivid reminder of how ugly things get in war. He took a bit too long to pull that reserve 'chute though after he started falling again.

Great content man,i love watching it with my popcorn

The charge gameplay could have easily been a WW1 COD game

I really wanted to have campaign about normal soldiers and chraging to the attack point or defencing base with a lot of allied soldiers at the huge battle like stalingrad, normandy, iwo jima etc

Never more raw and real than world at war. Top 3 cods ever made

A professional playing. I felt inside the video 😂👍🏽🤘🏽🔥🔥

I mean it looks great but there were not a lot of C47's shot down over Normandy doing D-day. While he it looks like they have a casualty rate of 20% if not more lmao

I'm happy for a lot of you English people who get to play this scenario as your own countryman after years of playing as Americans. I selfishly would've liked to play as the 101st but we've done that several times lol

I like how all the British Airborne all jumped with M1 Garands... That COD research team really must put in the work.

among all the things people mentioned, I have to admit, a burning mill thats lighting the whole place for miles to see is the perfect place to hold a nice little chat

Please make part 5 to the walkthrough! I’ve been binging it lol

3:42 Amazing realism

I'll be honest, I didn't even know tat this game dropped. Y'all work fast

that one 88 just shooting a round a millisecond

Thomas jones : "jesus christ! Daniels down AFGuides : ...

They took the jump scene straight out of overlord

Also the mandatory friendly plane shot down close to yours aswell as the engine hit on your own plane are there perfectly timed. Astonishing!

Love the COD WOW at war music with Modern Warfare style gameplay.

12:37 Kingsley: *Shoots friendly* Thomas: Imma pretend I didn't see that. Richard: The MG got us pinned! Everyone: *MuSt bE tHe MG!!*

I don’t play games, I just enjoy watching these gameplays. I’m out here wondering how he’s seeing those targets he’s shooting when I can’t even seem em in the screen.

Recoil on the guns is sick mad man. I want this game asap.

Thank you for the Arabic translation, keep it up, legend

I felt as if I was cringing at every turn of historical inaccuracy…and they are many

Im glad to see its more than US on the beach, some of these night ops really but a crack in Nazi defenses. If it wasn’t for those fearless paras, DDay would fail. Maybe this game is something of a positive!

daamn bravo guys that was really deep when they fired the flare, with all those ships out there.

The best and my fav mission in cod vanguard. This gives me vibes somewhat similar to brothers in arms and MOH airborne and if only they made this longer i would really have finished the campaign for 5x and play it all over again.

1:00 How me and the boys bouta go to school on the bus:

This shits amazing and couldn’t compare to the real thing god bless these men

Reminds me that parachuting scene from film Overlord (2018), that scene makes me hype for this.

such a big historic fan especially ww 1 and 2 love how they put this game together

To be honest. This looks realy nice, its been a long time since ive been looking forward to a COD game.

So far from vanguard I've seen an abundance of rolled up sleeves, tattoos that healing crystal owners from Florida would have and Netflix original acting. Stop licking the boot of high school kid expectations. Do away with blockbuster action when making a world war 2 game, feels as though it should be in a G.I. Joe adaptation. It's embarrassing that a studio with such resources only make pitifully eye-rolling games.

How nice of the Corporal to decide to go along with what the Sergeant politely suggested they might try, when they met up at the Windmill.

excelent player! congrats, was very entertaining! :D hi from Colombia

I can’t believe how Sgt.Tommy just got his shit domed right when he opened the door 🤦🏾‍♂️

They need to remake the very first cod some of the missions in that game were fantastic. Another game they need to do is the classic medal of honour front line or even the very first moh wer you played the secret agent

So many good opportunities to use those smoke grenades that you picked up in the beginning... Rushing headlong into machine guns is why you have them lol

I know it just a game but damn that mag on the kar 98 kills me every time I see it.

I like how this has mw 2019 graphics

Am I the only one bothered that they skipped the equipment check before dropping? I mean, even watching the second episode of Band of Brothers would have sufficed to make it a more accurate historical reaserch. Ffs, MoHAA Spearhead and Brothers in Arms got it better than this, and it was almost 2 decades ago.

Call of duty and battlefield has one of the best campaigns ever in gaming history

The beginning of the mission, german soldiers shooting an paratrooper, meeting british soldiers at a windmill. I have some strong MOH Spearhead vibes
