My only gripe with this game is that they didnt let us choose a side. I would have likes a campaign where when the time comes you have to choose between being Pro-Atlas or taking down Irons. Would have made for an awesome alternative story of what happens if Atlas and Irons won.
I love that everyone calls him Kevin Spacey instead of the name of the character he's playing, it always makes me do a double take "Kevin Spacey did what now?"

General: it would be an act of war, without congressional approval! "The last time the US actually declared war was in 1941. I'd imagine doing so is like breathing for you, General."
Both man have a point. Technically, Congress needs to approve the declaration of war. But the last official declaration of War was in 1941. Technically, Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, both Desert Stroms, War on Terror never had an official declaration of War. Presidential approval? Yes. Congressional approval? No not really.
@@someguy9293 Part of the war on terror technically had Congressional approval, as Afghanistan was initiated by the UN on powers that congress voted to give them.
@@DaveSmith-cp5kj "initiated by the UN on powers that congress voted to give them" the US congress does not have the authority to grant the UN that kind of authority.
Man this game was insane. This game came out in 2014, back when everyone was concerned over the US government hiring private militias. This was basically the beginning of the end for COD ever being creative again. Campaign for this one was good.
Well, we can say bad things about Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, but having a shooter in the solar system with space dogfights mixed in was, if anything, creative.
This was weirdly enough, after Blackwater had been forced to scale back operations, change their name (twice) and basically fade from history. Not a big deal when the U.S can pull all kind of shenanigans with all kinds of other agencies anyway.
I'd just like to point out I've seen Medal of Honor recipients with smaller medal racks than that General had. Also worth noting he has 24 years time in service, he's an O-12 and he has foreign jump wings. This dude was a either Delta Operator at some stage or he's just putting medals and shit from Korea on his service uniform to pad his salad bar.
1:34 Why is the general so concerned about congress’ approval or operating on foreign soil, American hasn’t gone to war with congress’ approval since WW2.
we have them already doing that, in Afghanistan before the Americans pull out they contracted Africans and on Syria we got Wagner Group which is a Russian PMC get contracted there then to South Africa. There are tons of PMC operating but most of them are logistics
The last COD campaign that was actually cool and unique (yes Modern Warfare 2019 was also great but it was a reboot) biggest complaint as usual was they could have made the campaign longer. But Kevin Spacey brought his A game to a nothing role
Lot of memories with this game. I played online a shit ton but I also played the campaign and enjoyed it. I remember this came out when I was in 8th grade and I’d come home from school and play all day with my cousin.
I don't think America has been picky about operations on foreign sovereign soil in the past. Santorini is part of Greece, itself a member of the European Union, so that would drag the EU into the mess as Greece would not be happy about an unauthorised operation in their territory.
It's ironic that the U.S has a military presence in the region in any case. They could have done this themselves if they had the political processes sorted. It does make me nervous, all that unchecked reach, by one country, all over the world. Might have served a purpose once, but now? It makes me very worried. Why does the U.S still need bases in the U.K, for instance. Germany? I don't get it.
For some reason when I first him the game i knew he was going to be villan. I really hated how they had to the private company becoming a bad tyrant. We as atlas was really bringing change. It would have better if have get scenarios of atlas and offical military working together and getting interaction of both side of people saying how their branch is better
Man, I love this game. The graphics too were great for their time. If I watched this cutscene without knowing it came out of 2014, I would've said the game came out much more recently.
This campaign and the one in advanced warfare where you can pilot your ship around the solar system were extremely underrated for their time IMO. It was the kind of cool experimentation COD used to try for gameplay. Now it’s just cardi B skins and Homelander laser eyes. Neat trinkets to satisfy low attention span gamers with a new shiny toy every week
It nice to play as a pmc however realisticly it would be the other way around where the US government tells the pmc what to do. Mw2 2022 shows a more realistic approach with shadow company
I never played this game but each time i see clips of jonathan irons i think "this guy is the bad guy?" hes right in every clip ive ever seen? what does he do that is actually villainous ?
An act of war without congressional approval? What the fuck does sending militant forces into another country with or without congressional approval doesn't scream WAR?
I think i should buy this game again.
you definitely should

Are the servers still alive?
@@froyerthedestroyer6756 perhaps the CZcamsr is willing to invite or promoting. If only the game is revived as TF2, tho

A game where you play as a Merc rather than a die hard American Soldier was a nice change of pace
Too bad they changed it back to die hard American when Irons turns out to be the big bad

We had approval from congress, jut congress didn't declare war
Just*
People say that but it's misleading because many times Congress has authorized the use of military force without a formal declaration of war.
Why is an invasion needed? Greece is a NATO member, just ask and they'd let you take out the target or do it themselves.
Nato didnt exist in this timeline
1:52 Kingpin: on whose authority
Jonathan Irons: ON MY AUTHORITY
"we don't need congress" that qoute is so badass
It's kinda scary to think that Private Military Companies can operate in any foreign soil without permission or approval of any governments.
Scarier to think who is running our military now. Also, I don't think they can actually do that.
we have them already doing that, in Afghanistan before the Americans pull out they contracted Africans and on Syria we got Wagner Group which is a Russian PMC get contracted there then to South Africa. There are tons of PMC operating but most of them are logistics
Read about blackwater , it is an interesting read
Well like the *US* General said, it's foreign territory. What authority would the US have there anyway?
?Governments hire them
I love that the general is so obviously upset that he and his government aren’t in control.
Exactly this
The U.S government hate it when they're not in charge
@@knivez786 It's about time the citizens reminded the government how the USA got started.
