“5 Years ago, I lost 30,000 men in a blink of an eye.” -General Shepherd
You guys don't understand you hate sheperd cause he killed ur fav char bohoo so sad i mean 2 people are more important than 30,000 men i get why he's angry and why he betrayed them
@@hazmatbob1519 Well I hate Makarov and Shepherd the same way. Since Shepherd stabbed Soap. Makarov planted a bomb in the Buildung where Soap and Yuri were so Soap's stab wound was reopend that's why I hate both of them.
@@soap8049 i get it you hate them both but use your brain and not your emotions and try to understsnd why sheperd betrayed task force 141
One of the best moments in this game is when the pilots and Vasquez knew the risk they were taking, yet there was zero hesitation in the decision to go land and try to save the Cobra pilot.
Kinda make u wonder if they didn't try and save her if they would have maybe escaped the blast radius
I think both the original and remastered versions are extremely effective in what they convey. The original had that blood red tinge that was foreboding and the sense of being alone as the world around you crumbles. The remastered version shows the pure destructiveness of the nuke and the horror that was unleashed. Seeing the pilot that you risked your life for choke to death in front of you was horrifying and the cloud looked hauntingly beautiful.
The original might even be more accurate since there would be a thick layer of particulate and dust from the amount of buildings and dirt that would be blown to bits and shot outwards from the blast.
I didn't even realize that was pilot the until you mentioned it.
I always just walked right past her and just figured she was another Marine who died.
Damn. I gotta go back and play the MW Remastered Campaign
If i recall correctly there was some interwiew that basically said all the stuff you see in the remastered are things that they wanted to add in the first one, but due to technical limitations never could so they just added them here
Why was she choking to death? Was her lung punctured or something? I was at this mission but didn't finish
@@woodhidh At the radius they were during/after the blast, they were pretty much All choking to death, or going to, since the nuke sucks all of the oxygen out of the atmosphere surrounding it. It's possible she punctured some lungs, but the main cause would be the lack of oxygen, so she was essentially grasping for air that was no longer there, as was Paul, thus, killing them both. (Not mentioning the acute radiation poisoning these soldiers are experiencing either, point stands)
Man... Imagine being the NEST team at ground zero trying to defuse that nuke. They must have felt a lot of pressure when trying to defuse the bomb but it was inevitable anyway because it was remotely detonated
They wouldn't even know the milisecond they died. They would be disintegrated, and thier ashes vaporized within less than a blink of an eye.
@@EleanorsDriver Not even. They're right by the nuke, they and the ground the shadows would be on are totally atomized unless they said "Let's run!" way earlier. The fireball's too hot to even leave that much in their case, since it's a ground burst… all that's left is diffuse particulate matter.
I noticed that a lot of the scenes in this game have some new animations, like al fulani's hands being bound, jackson loading the mk19, and jackson trying to save that guy in the helicopter during the nuke, jackson looking at his hands, etc. Gotta love the little details like that.
+Bootywarrior42069 Tr1GG3r XI yeh but it said trying to save Jackson didn't try to save him
In the original you dont see Pelayo and Vazquez Dyng in front of you ,Pelayo and one soldier are only bodies in the floor,y liked the new details,and the textures are more realistic,Pelayo in the original have the clean face,but now is very injured
+Fulcrox omg that's no Vasquez u don't see him in the crash and he has a different outfit then any marine in that heli
I see the video in 360,probably i am wrong,but i see the Vazquez Helmet because is the only whitout camo
I still think of this scene, it was the first time I ever imagined the horrors of war.
And the NATO phonetic speak is such a great choice, it creeps you out surviving a nuclear heli crash, that everyone is trying to figure out what the hell happened, and you're hit with the realisation of dying as a number.
They did a fantastic job with this. The peak of gaming where it ceased being a pastime, and became a message.
2:29 this line from command is honestly one of the most terrifying things in any game I’ve played. No jumpscare, no visuals, just a man talking to you through a radio telling you that a team found death in a can. Then the aftermath after you wake up and crawl out of the chopper while the wind blows is even scarier, with or without the other marines dying around you
That dialogue always makes me think they accidentally set it off trying to disarm it.
9 years later and we still can't save our nigga Lt. Volker
Yeh also in the whole game u only ever see 3 Leutenants Vasquez . Volker . Price .
Yuri: “Thousands of souls extinguished, by the push of a button...
This wasn’t war, it was madness...”
This is probably not the best time to go around rewatching great cutscenes of games....
4:50 this is actually the most saddening scene ive seen so far. imagine being in this guys situation. you are extremely injured, you saw your comrade die, and you know you are next. you are just crawling to nowhere at that point,
Considering it's presumably Vasquez means not only that, but it was the men he was commanding and responsible for.
'We're going down' - calmest pilot in a crashing helicopter ever 😂
It's probably her coming to terms with the idea that she could've died. Life flashing before her eyes, coming to realization that that might've been her last flight. Then the surge of adrenaline as she realizes she can have another chance. Only to have it taken away as the nuke is set off.
when it shows the long list of names that gets me
Yeah. Wonder why Harry Buckley (for example) is dead like 10 times and why only one Paul Jackson is in blue while the others aren't. ;)
it's pointing out the player character at that moment if im not mistaken
John Delamater Yeah but there are like 10 other Paul Jacksons in the list..
5:15 I just love how the clouds and nuke mushroom looked like an eye. It's like a cruel powerful being looking down at the death and destruction it had created below.
Geez, I’ve seen this so many times, and I’ve never seen that until now.
It's very clearly made to look like an eye. A single eye. Hmm, I wonder what that would symbolize... 🤔
I'll always appreciate how the game has literally been hinting at this moment since mission 1 and to top it off is so on the nose with the presentation of Shock and Awe. Yet you are so accustomed to being the hero you think you are going to win and the game smacks you in the face for it.
It's why it took me by suprise and had me in disbelief when Jackson died back in 2007.

Remember when COD used to show how brutal war is in a realistic, believable way?

Damn, the nuke scene is much more of hellscape than in the original.

That guy who got 25 kill streak before it was popular
+Mary Terril, No, no, it's a reference to the Nuke Killstreak in multiplayer matches for Modern Warfare. If you got twenty five kills without dying, you could trigger a nuclear bomb which would kill everyone and guarantee a victory for your team.
Except somebody blows it up with a javelin (yes, you can do that... 25 kills for nothing)
Looks like Makarov worked hard for those 25 Kills to get that nuke.. Guess he tried to get more with the Airport Massacre..
Sad part. Even if you do survive a nuke, its the radiation that will kill you.
Foxmanded42 fallout is radioactive particles falling from the clouds. It's essentially the same thing.
+Foxmanded42 and if the fallout doesn't kill you, the deathclaws will
I rather get vaporized in the blast than die slow and painfully of radiation poisoning..
Not completely... You maybe able to avoid the radiation completely. It'll be the breakdown of world economy and the decrease in food and pure water because no one will be around to make it for you... If you are in a nuclear shelter before hand and wear nothing but gas masks and heavy duty NBC suits before going outside, you are pretty much untouchable by radiation.
This whole scene shifted the focus for Call of Duty forever. Probably the best and most important scene in gaming history
1:04 It showed real valor that they went back for the pilot despite being told the consequence. Even the imminent threat of nuclear annihilation is no excuse to leave a man behind. And even though they all still died, they did so as a team
Well, the worst part is that had they left her behind they would've had enough time to get out of the blast zone
@@zaer-ezart
Doubtful.
It's a nuke; they're too close and they're in helicopters. They weren't outrunning shit.
@@chimpwimp9407 It's said in game that they won't have time to reach a safe distance if they decide to save the pilot. They would've made it
If they flew more out at full speed,I believe the damage could've been more minimal. I would've been the smart coward whining to my superior or pilot "we gotta get- let's get outta the blast zone CMON" and maybe they say shit like "well hurry up then, let's go let's go"
Still one of the most intense scenes I have ever experienced in a game. I wish Call of Duty could bring back that intensity in their campaigns. Or in BO4’s case, have a campaign.

Honestly one of the most flawlessly directed moments in any video game. Endlessly haunting and just fucking terrifying, the lack of music really helps the absolute nightmare that is portrayed here.
i'll admit: i'm not big into playing games(occasionally get into them but in spurts and I'm terrible anyway) and have NO interest in COD but read about this scene in some article and looked it up and was stunned by how immersive it is. Despite being a game and not 100% true to life visually like maybe a movie or television, I was moved at how effective it was portrayed. Chilling and incredible.
At least that pilot won't be dying alone. However I'd rather be shot than die of radiation.

You will be remembered
The blast radius of a nuclear explosion can be many miles, 30 secs spent picking up the pilot did not matter, they weren't going to make it anyways
It's been 17 years since I first saw that nuke scene in the first and original Modern Warfare game. Now that I see what a nuke bomb can do is kind of scary.
"5 years ago, 30,000 men died in a blink of an eye. And the world just fuckin' watched"
Lieutenant Vasquez is such a badass. He’s the only marine besides the player to get up and walk after the nuke went off. When I saw him fall to the ground my heart sank. He was probably the reason I liked playing as the marines more than the SAS
@Ricardo Milos for real tho. It was kinda sad, plus he had children. Two of them.
I always wanted to see Vasquez and Price share a scene together. Two great leaders
By far the best single scene in the game. My jaw dropped back in 2007 when I played the campaign the first time.
Aaaaah I miss the old days where I used to think that Private Jackson and Soap were the same person lol I was a kid that time... weird
When I was a kid I thought every character you played as from WAW and MW2 were the same because they said nothing. BO1 changes that with Mason though.

"Do you know what a nuclear bomb looks like up close, Ernie? It's like looking at the light of a thousand dead stars vaporizing everything and everyone, those who are unfortunate enough to cross it's path. Look away from the initial flash, and you can almost convince yourself that a cloud has pass through the sun bringing sunlight back into the world, that optimism will soon shatter you once you start to hear the deafening, glass shattering explosion, destroying everything in it's path. When the sound fades, and if you are lucky enough to keep your vision for these last few moments, you can see the fiery portal to hell, releasing 1000's of tiny imps falling from the crimson sky, covering the demolished terrain into untouchable objects. As I stared into the portal of hell, I wondered how I survived, I was badly wounded, yet wondered how my body was being pierced by the gamma radiation, being badly wounded by the helicopter crash, the intense heat which felt like my blood was boiling, but none of that bothered me, I watched as my men and women in arms succumb to their untimely demise, that didn't bother me. I was found by a rescue team and brought me back to a nearby military base to treat my wounds. They told me that I would have between now and 15 years maximum to live due to the extreme radiation sickness, in the end, it wasn't the bomb, the people, the silence, nor the destruction that haunts me,
Ernie, What haunts me the most, was mankind going out of it's way to open up the gates of hell itself to fight their wars for them.
It was greed, Ernie, it was greed."

@@Xozkov Yeah pretty much. I think Marines and the Army training is pretty much fucked up at the beginning so when you're on half of the training you have a more relaxed atmosphere to become a critical thinker.
I really like how the remaster added in sounds of the survivors of the crash slowly dying, and you even see the Cobra pilot you just saved die right in front for you. Those details weren't there in the original and it makes this scene so much more horrifying.

Jackson was originally gonna survive in this mission because of file with objectives saying get radiation equipment and find commanding officer
I'm glad they stuck with this. I replayed the mission a few times just because I thought I had failed the objective and didn't understand that this was inevitable...
Well lads, if you look into CoD Wikia (powered by FANDOM) you can see some interesting information about that mission.
"Originally there were three objectives:
"Get radiation equipment" (obj_origin = getent( "radiac_equipment", "targetname" );)
"Locate commanding officer" (objective_add( 1, "active", &"AFTERMATH_OBJ_OFFICER", obj_origin.origin );)
and "Find secure overhead cover." (obj_origin = getent( "overhead_cover", "targetname" );)
These indicate that Jackson originally survived the explosion, but in the final version, he succumbs to death instead."

“Roger that, we know what we’re getting into”

Pvt. Ramirez would have disabled it.
On Sgt. Foley's orders of course
Everyone is repeating that that helicopter is going down in such a satisfied and cool tone
No that is not Army. Those are Marines. Marines use the Cobra attack helicopter. While the Army uses the Apache attack helicopter.
