The first segment is probably the first time I've seen Stalingrad represented as anything but a massive pile of rubble in a game... for about ten minutes.
They could have done better. Really drive the point home that people in Stalingrad were real people, caught in a hell not even of their own making... but I guess it´s a start.
I'm not an expert in military medals, but the nurse in 10:13 seems to be wearing medals resembling a jubilee medal "50 Years of the Armed Forces of the USSR" (the blue one, 1968) and "For the Capture of Berlin" (the red one, 1945). To go through the entire war to Berlin, retire as a veteran, live a peaceful life and then die back in Stalingrad in 1942 surely must have been... confusing.

I love seeing high-budget games take on great WWII stories, but this is such a sanitized version of Stalingrad lol. Nobody was surprised by the German assault on the city. It was anything but a sneak attack. And when it did kick off in earnest, it was absolute slaughter - a tooth-and-nail fight for every meter between the front line and the river. Most importantly, I don't think the Germans wasted a lot of time taking people alive, and I don't think many civilians were in the city living their normal lives when the Germans arrived.
True. But actually a lot of citizens were surprised by german air raid on 23 of August. They thought what air raid siren that day was just training once just as usual. However when AA guns opened fire and bombs started falling from the skyes everyone started to reach their shelters as soon as possible to not to be blown up by hordes of german bombers However I'm glad that at least at this time Eastern Front portrayed a little bit better and with a little more respect than in other games and movies about Eastern Front.

@Steel Beast 500,000 i agree with the points youve made for the most part however the MKb42(baisically an StG that fired from an open bolt) was in service with the Wehrmacht in limited numbers by the time of Stalingrad so its not impossible a few were there.
Actually, you are wrong. While everyone knew the Germans were coming, thousands of Red Army soldiers and civilians were taken by surprise on the first day of the Battle. The Germans crossed the Don and reached the Volga much quicker than anticipated.

Depends on the gun the regular Mosins had straight bolts where as the sniper variants had a mount for scoped, heavy barrels, and the bolt was bent down aka dog latch so sniper rifles are definitely built much more differently than regular rifles.
@@KILLKING110 yes but they use the same ammo as their non sniper rifle counter parts. But COD has a habit of just not allowing you to use that ammo from normal rifles in your sniper rifle.

@@mottony yeah, they had the chance to add something like that but they didn't. They were both from Stalingrad, it's not like it's gonna ruin the timeline or anything.
Gotta love seeing T-34-85s, a tank from late 1943, in the beginning of the battle of Stalingrad, while people are living their normal lives like there isn't any mass conscription, and the city still be overrun on a casual Sunday afternoon, mainly because stukas with autoloading 37mms, cloud stealth, and bombers with bombs that can multiply midair, don't forget that all the Soviet AA gunners are on vacation and only the medics are on station today

@@pigbenis5295 I swear the first time anyone playing Russian’s mission in CoD1 and 2, they will scream on the top of their lungs when charging into the Nazi’s positions
There is no mention of vasily or reznov because of two things: A: It's is broad daylight B: If i'm right, WAW takes place in a separate area of stalingrad
Well no, since the area were Misha is shot is Red Square, the place were... you start the Vendetta mission of WAW. You can see the statue of the fountain. So it's the same area. But it's litteraly not the same season, since there is no snow in WAW...
The design is so cheap, its like a bunch of royalty free materials and 3d models from the web, the game artists didnt even bother to look up the pictures of pre-war Stalingrad. Judging by the trees and vegetations we are somewhere in Italy or France, but nowhere near Stalingrad. Why are people boarding their shops when there was no commerce in the USSR? Where did they get plywood? If you look at the pictures of Stalingrad in 1940, you would not find plywood, it was an expensive and fancy material used for furniture and aircrafts, no one would have been using it to board up windows in his right mind. Why is there so many cars abandoned? Only high officials were able to afford cars, why are there so many abandoned cars if all officials would have been evacuated months before the first air raid? Why is there yellow tarp everywhere? Is this The Division 2 or what? You even used the wrong barbed wire, google Stalingrad images and see what type of barbed wire was used in the USSR, every soviet person knows it and its nothing like this fancy modern razor wire. And its like that with everything. It is not Stalingrad, it is France with yellow tarp from the Division 2, razor wire from Iraq war and plywood from US marines training grounds with fake plywood houses. Guys, you have completely messed up the art and visual part, its not immersive at all.
And even that only in trial service in very limited number. How they manage to research somewhat obscure weapons and somehow put it in the wrong time is kind of ad
i LOVE the fact that when the first bombers arrive she decide to climb up the rooftops while everyone is seeking shelter and cover ..... Insert *your tactics confuse and frighten me sir* meme here.
If usa and britain hadn't sent extreme amount of military,raw material,logistic and food aid to bolsheviks, and %100 of the german troops had been on the eastern front ,the glorious german army would have taken moscow and st@lingrad like taking candy from a baby
31:20 The German 6th Army was in NO way in a condition to fight at this time. They have been surrounded and cut off from their supply lines (The Air Drops were very miniscule) for over 6 weeks. They were starving and low on ammo. They mostly hunkered down and hoped that the 4 Panzer can get them out. Hoth's 4th Panzer Army only got within 60km (40 miles), but the Soviets stopped them. OH and no SS troops fought in Stalingrad.
Yep, historically correct game. Stalingrad 1942, yet shoulder marks were adopted in the USSR only 06 January 1943. Time travel these soldiers are from the future.
It's a pretty minor mistake considering some of the other inaccuracies. I think Sledgehammer can be forgiven for only wanting to make one set of models for the Red Army.
@@Marshall_Thompson I don't know if it was minor or major because I stopped watching it from the beginning after seeing 1942 and then girl with shoulder marks.
Well, technically speaking the battle of Stalingrad DID end in the beginning of 1943...but by then it was mostly mop up operations to capture the last German holdouts, not so much a full fledged battle
I love how all the Germans are so bad at basic tactics and fighting in this game, it's amusing to watch the Germans just rush into open gunfire, but when you're reloading they cower in fear
It’s so hard to believe that these are the same guys who captured 90% of the entire city by fighting men to men before getting encircled by Soviet reinforcements in December 1942.
Not a historian or military expert myself, but I genuinely feel very weird about the inconsistencies such as the T-34/85 and uniforms of the red army, and some of the guns. I feel sadened for the missed opportunities. To have not a historical accurate but at least having a believable enviroment. Storywise, not really a great fan. Hoped for more of a small unit story (like vasily's 3 men team in enemy at the gates) rather than a one woman army.
First time you play a WWII themed Cod? They always had 1943 uniforms and T 34/85 for Stalingrad, even the old games (Finest hour actually had the correct 76, but still the wrong uniforms) . That's because most of time there are soviet levels set in 1945, so they just use the same models. Pretty understandable
Say what you will about this mission, at least it shows us a new side to Stalingrad: what it was like before the fighting began. We got to see what life was like for its locals before the first shots were fired, as they prepared to hold back the Germans, whatever it took. We may have only got to see a small portion of this peacetime, but I'm glad I saw it.
In actuality, they knew the Germans were coming and Stalin ordered that everyone stayed in Stalingrad so it motivates the Red Army to fight for something. Took them weeks to even take the city
CoD: Doesn't feature Eastern Front in Ww2 Fans: Eww WW2 game with no eastern front? That's lame? CoD: Finally features Eastern Front Fans: Lmao stop repeating this front
@@sooryan_1018 that's not the problem It's that COD kept giving us the same place in the Easter front, over and over GIVE US A PLACE TO FIGHT OTHER THAN THE SAME STALINGRAD! Atleast Leningrad,Odessa, Budapest, or even put a Yugoslav partisan mission in there
Who else experienced the battle of Stalingrad on call of duty finest hour. One of my childhood memory games for sure. I think it was the second mission where you storm the bunker
Although it was a highly sought after war trophy due to its high quality and reliability plus its scarcity Which was a similar situation with the Orso submachine gun from Cod WW2 which was a early war Italian submachine gun which was highly regarded as the best Submachine gun Available to the Italian army But it later got stripped down due to war shortages yet it still kept its quality and reliability which made both variants of the Orso another sought after war trophy by Allied troops
According to the developers, the German army steamrolled the city of Stalingrad in a day, the real battle took them weeks before they even made it to the inner layers of the city and the capital building.
This game is so bad. Vasily didn't appear in the mission and slaughter the Germans all by himself with his PPSH41 just like in CoD 2. 0/10, terrible game.
I remember the original Modern Warfare 2, where the Russians would strategically crouch behind cars and buildings as they tried to move up and surround you. Also, in the original Black Ops, the Spetsnaz would roll and flip around the environment between cover to make themselves harder to hit.
This doesn't feel like a battle, in this game you are fighting by yourself, no one is helping you which makes it feel like you are just running from the cops.
I think the 2003 COD had the best Stalingrad atmosphere, it had a mix of both since at least 4 missions were based in Stalingrad. COD 2 had a good one too but it was just winter.
8:13 Im sure those T-34-85 tanks would have delayed the German advance. It should be the 76mm version with the two-man turret at least. Could have been due to budget reasons or time limit before its release.
@@razgriss5882 I kinda don't think so. The fact that lots of the main battle tanks of WW2 have been throughly researched through books and media makes it the fact that the earlier models would have been used instead of the later ones so it all comes down to pointing the blame on budget and time of release which means they have to models a few items relevant in their WW2 game if you know what I mean.
As a Russian person, I was very upset that the "Russian" people in the game DO NOT LOOK LIKE RUSSIANS AT ALL. their appearance is Arabian, gypsy, Jewish, BUT NOT RUSSIAN. remember, Russian people don't look like that, Russians have completely different facial features, predominantly blue eyes and blonde hair. even the hairstyles of the inhabitants of "Stalingrad" do not correspond to the era. the rest of the atmosphere of Russia in the 40s is conveyed well. stalingrad is not like stalingrad, but it looks like a typical Russian city. it is clear that the developers did not even try to recreate exactly Stalingrad.
It is also worth noting that the word "papasha" in Russian is used in a disparaging, offensive meaning. this is a gross mistake, it hurts the ear. the developers wanted to show colloquial communication. correct would be "batya\batyanya"
It’s strange the small ways modern games try to change and sanitize history. The latest Assassins Creed games (Odyssey, Valhalla) were the worst offenders. Every place has to look like a college recruitment ad
@@akscjdid1793 About 40% of the soldiers were Russians, Ukrainians or Belarusians. We have almost the same genotype. The remaining 60% were the rest of the 200+ nationalities
The quotes and excerpts that are shown before the missions in Red Orchestra 2's single player paint a far more believable and moving picture of the Battle of Stalingrad than this game could ever hope to. Retiring the "Stalingrad sniper campaign" is long overdue, Enemy at the gates wasn't even a good movie.
>the first (and largest) German bombing raid on Stalingrad took place on August 24, 1942 >German troops didn't even reach the outskirts of Stalingrad until that very day and took until September to break into the city proper They're literally conflating events that took place several weeks apart lmao
I don’t get it why they won’t just hire native Russian speakers to cast Russian people in the game, because they sound like a person trying to speak and imitate Russian accent
They are not needed to create trash entertainment. This is just created for brainless audience who couldn't care about anything other than flashy gameplay.
The fact that people kept buying COD games after MW2 just shows that they could eat the exact same meal for the rest of their lives and be happy about it. Well, so long as the utensils were varying colors.
The Soviet think it’s gonna be another war of attrition so they build up barrier and hold their ground and live slow and grow into their defense position but as soon as the Stuka coming down u know the German coming in with their lightning war and they easily penetrated the defense
@@karthiksrikanth7311 they lost millions because the Nazis were systematically annihilating them for being sub humans and whom they couldn't shoot they starved to death or freeze to death by stealing their food and warm clothes. If the Soviets repeated the same brutality then half the German population would have disappeared
Not in this battle though. It was straight out grindfest from both sides. Snipers, house to house clearing, booby traps, and constant artillery fire. By the time the German reached the Volga river, their Panzer divisions are exhausted and battered in which the Soviets took up opportunity to encircle them from two sides. So yes their war of attrition succeed at a level.
Like if you remember the OG Call of Duty Stalingrad mission - all you got was a clip of 5 bullets and an order to "move forward, no retreat - traitors will be shot". In all seriousness though, the mission was flipping amazing. Crossing the river with the Stuka's dropping bombs, blowing the other boats up and the barrier troops shooting deserters while the commandant gives his speech. Then standing around in a big crowd while your orders are given, "the man with the rifle shoots, the man with the bullets follows" - with machine gun fire and artillery going off all around. Then the charge up the hill into battle. Was absolutely flipping amazing
And that's the FIRST CoD game ever. That Stalingrad mission was a hell of an experience and just the beginning. How the fuck do you devolve this bad over 19 years?

Actually, you are wrong. While everyone knew the Germans were coming, thousands of Red Army soldiers and civilians were taken by surprise on the first day of the Battle. The Germans crossed the Don and reached the Volga much quicker than anticipated.
Ok it’s been official.

Someone tell the Devs the "snipers" and common rifles are essentially the same weapons lmao
Depends on the gun the regular Mosins had straight bolts where as the sniper variants had a mount for scoped, heavy barrels, and the bolt was bent down aka dog latch so sniper rifles are definitely built much more differently than regular rifles.
@@KILLKING110 yes but they use the same ammo as their non sniper rifle counter parts. But COD has a habit of just not allowing you to use that ammo from normal rifles in your sniper rifle.

The design is so cheap, its like a bunch of royalty free materials and 3d models from the web, the game artists didnt even bother to look up the pictures of pre-war Stalingrad.
Judging by the trees and vegetations we are somewhere in Italy or France, but nowhere near Stalingrad.
Why are people boarding their shops when there was no commerce in the USSR?
Where did they get plywood? If you look at the pictures of Stalingrad in 1940, you would not find plywood, it was an expensive and fancy material used for furniture and aircrafts, no one would have been using it to board up windows in his right mind.
Why is there so many cars abandoned? Only high officials were able to afford cars, why are there so many abandoned cars if all officials would have been evacuated months before the first air raid?
Why is there yellow tarp everywhere? Is this The Division 2 or what?
You even used the wrong barbed wire, google Stalingrad images and see what type of barbed wire was used in the USSR, every soviet person knows it and its nothing like this fancy modern razor wire.
And its like that with everything. It is not Stalingrad, it is France with yellow tarp from the Division 2, razor wire from Iraq war and plywood from US marines training grounds with fake plywood houses.

They have been surrounded and cut off from their supply lines (The Air Drops were very miniscule) for over 6 weeks. They were starving and low on ammo. They mostly hunkered down and hoped that the 4 Panzer can get them out.
Hoth's 4th Panzer Army only got within 60km (40 miles), but the Soviets stopped them. OH and no SS troops fought in Stalingrad.

Yep, historically correct game. Stalingrad 1942, yet shoulder marks were adopted in the USSR only 06 January 1943. Time travel these soldiers are from the future.

@@razgriss5882 I kinda don't think so. The fact that lots of the main battle tanks of WW2 have been throughly researched through books and media makes it the fact that the earlier models would have been used instead of the later ones so it all comes down to pointing the blame on budget and time of release which means they have to models a few items relevant in their WW2 game if you know what I mean.

It is also worth noting that the word "papasha" in Russian is used in a disparaging, offensive meaning. this is a gross mistake, it hurts the ear. the developers wanted to show colloquial communication. correct would be "batya\batyanya"

Then standing around in a big crowd while your orders are given, "the man with the rifle shoots, the man with the bullets follows" - with machine gun fire and artillery going off all around. Then the charge up the hill into battle.
