Was he right?
Taking a look at who owns Kabul, no
Well he said it matters who's swinging it, so I'd say it's still valid
kabul belongs to allah, it always has.
>its just like my vidyas!!
He was a gay who killed highly skilled men working under him. So no, he wasn't right.
This game presents an image of the Russian military that is so wildly distorted from reality that it should be classified as Russian black propaganda.
Infinity Ward owes us all refunds for peddling such garbage onto millions of people
nah, fuck it
every scenario where some foreign army or asiatic hordes put a step on american soil are highly unrealistic. but i like the idea of an america that has to actually put up a righteous fight, instead of blowing up sandmorons via drone strikes.
it's an underexplored scenario that has much more potential than another seal movie "based on real events" in shitskinistan
looking at your picture i think about games in arctic region, kinda underused setting. it could be russians/chinese against EU/US in the close future. also i love snow.
Operation Arctic Storm…
my picture is from the game world in conflict, the campaign takes place in snowy regions in america, europe an russia a bunch of times.
if you like a late cold war gone hot rts with a great story, i highly recommend you to play this game
thanks anon i'll check it
World in conflict was such a fantastic game. Easily one of my all time favorites. That an rts could have such a well written story is amazing
If the United States were ever actually pushed up against the wall the reaction would be fucking frightening even to her allies. A patriotic population with the largest violence capital in the history of man fighting for survival, wumao and vatniks beware.
>its 1989 and half-dead ussr with empty shelves, barely out of afgan, pushing berlin wall and sneaking into seattle with thousands of tanks on cargo ships
love this game but come on
It was a hail marry that failed pretty miserably. Given the numbers the soviets had at the time, it doesn't seem all that far fetched
I mean, they pretty quickly get btfo and the Soviet campaign makes it clear they it was a last shot that failed miserably which isn't that unrealistic beyond them getting the initial successes via surprise.
What does the reddit frog have to do with that?

Frog has been on PrepHole longer than (You)
Should I start post EFG, rage comics, and advice animals since they're older then the frog, or will you reddit transplants learn that memes need to die when they've spread too far?
Well since you seem to know wo much about what is and isn't from reddit, you must've gained such a familiarity somehow. Presumably by going to reddit. Perhaps you should do a bit of introspection.
Actually, it's from retards like you who post screenshots of Reddit and Twitter because you think PrepHole's purpose is to get angry at retards with your based internet buddies instead of actually discussing things.
>ackchyually
>reeeeeeeeeeee stop liking what I don't like
Thanks for proving my point. I'd tell you to please go suck start a shotgun, but that gets counted as gun violence so instead I'll just tell you find the tallest building you can and do a fucking flip, gay.

Americans have never knpwn hardship in their entire history. The core of their nationhood is economic prosperity, remove that and it would balkanize instantly.
The last 2 elections had late empire smell, people hate each others to levels such that separatism became a meme again for the first time in 200 years.
Would you have been able to do what CPT Bannon did?
I still don't think that excused him
Good luck with that lol, COD has literally always been a form of soft propaganda funded by the feds. And they're never gonna pay up.
That said, at least the old ones were fun. The last time I had fun with a COD campaign was surprisingly Infinite, despite rolling my eyes at the whole Martian terrorist rebel crap at the start. It was at least funny watching that one commander get super-lasered on livestream in the middle of lecturing you, and being able to just stab the big bad in the head before he's done giving his death monologue. His eyes derping out after the stabbing got me.
Still rate Battlefield a bit higher in the campaign department, Battlefield V letting you play as a German tank officer was unmatched kino for what these games usually are.
Given how COD campaign twists tend to go, I wouldn't jinx it.
The last cod I had fun with was the original modern warfare
I'm pretty sure Call of Duty takes place in an alternate timeline anyways. And I don't mean in light of Russia's military incompetence being thrown bare recently, I mean their presented capabilities ingame were always far beyond even what their public military image would imply.
COD timeline is basically where non-retarded ultranationalist IE someone like Girkin won the 90s coups wars in russia.
However Girkin is the modern day cassandra so it poetic rehash of trojan wars.
The only man blessed with sight but cursed to never be listened to.
Sure, but it still makes no sense. In MW1 Russia is a collapsed state in a middle of a civil war, in MW2 they are suddenly reunited and powerful enough to invade USA, and in MW3 if I remember correctly Russian President that gave the orders from MW2 is all of a sudden a good guy and you have a mission where you're protecting him, because somehow he was tricked into launching the invasion so all is forgiven. The writing in these games is absolute bullshit
the "america under attack" part was pure kino
this game's soundtrack was extremely kino
>Russia magically invades the US without getting blown up by the Navy
>Doesn't even get past the police by the time the National Guard gets called in
You forgot some bits.
>specifically landed on the eastern seaboard, where the only reason they weren’t tracked was because of sunspot interference
>had enough to stretch as wide as virginia/DC to NYC simultaneously
>also at the same time they launched a full scale invasion across all of europe and reached paris in not even a week
>had enough gas to blanket the entire continent (or at least the major areas), supplied by some literally who warlord and his arms dealer buddy
>all while russia is actually in the midst of a huge civil war between loyalists and an ultranationalist faction now headed by a world renowned terrorist
MW2 and 3 were an actual Michael Bay movie turned into a game and I loved it. Even if CoD4 was my personal favorite, the stuff between that and BO2 were something special. Ghosts was meh and BO3 was pretty good on PC thanks to mod tools. 2019 was ok until IW fucked it up, and I didn’t bother since.
>that said cold war looks interesting, is that worth trying nowadays?
Everytime somebody fucked with American ships it always led to a world spanning tard rage that destabilized entire nations.
Imagine if Mao’s joke with Kissinger actually happened haha that’d be pretty crazy wouldn’t it ha
IIRC they found proof that he orchestrated the entire plot with Makarov, or at the very least was the one who goaded him on. Shepard banked pretty much everything on a big fuck off war happening to both secure power as well as his own fame of being the guy that totally stopped it all.
>that said cold war looks interesting, is that worth trying nowadays?
yeah, it's alright. part of the black ops storyline. iirc it retcons some small details from the plot, but nothing too wild
>cold war looks interesting, is that worth trying nowadays?
I actually ended up really liking the campaign. Set in 1981, it has a new cast of characters but brings back Mason, Woods, and Hudson for a few missions and cutscenes (none of them use the original VAs for some reason so some sound a little off, Wood's old VA wasn't even contacted for the role according to him). Personally I felt their inclusion may have weakened it overall, I think the story would stand on its own without them for the most part. The story starts off fairly meh, but there's a twist to it later kinda like the first Black Ops game. Not gonna spoil shit, it's worth playing.
Multiplayer's neither here nor there, if you were fine with nu-Modern Warfare's multiplayer it's basically the same thing with old guns. The zombies mode in this one is literally the worst one ever, don't even bother playing that mode, it's not worth it. If you like a good Black Ops campaign, play it. If you like that style of multiplayer, that's a bonus. If you like what they did to the zombies mode you have brain damage and may not be able to appreciate the campaign.
Wish game devs cut it out with the creepy "realistic" face modeling stuff though, it's never good. Reagan wasn't THIS botoxed, was he?
The canon explanation is that the Russians take control of a downed intel satellite. They use it to feed false data into the US monitoring system. This conflicts with other sources of data like radar, hence that cutscene where an operator suggests there's "heavy sunspot activity".
>We are the most powerful military force in the history of man
>loses 30,000 men to sandmorons bashing some Hispanicy Russian rocks together
Let me guess you're from that thread where everyone was accusing each of being a glowie
I was lurking there actually but I'm not that guy. I just stole his pic for this thread.
Victory has many definitions.
To be fair, the talebs did take back Afghanistan.
However, it was mostly due to USA not wanting to lose more money and to the abyssmal corruption of the regime.
I understand that the Talibans have won, but their victory only serves to maintain a terrorist regime.
To sum it up, if this young man is your hero, I will gladly have my country assume the role of the villain.
>a terrorist regime
Literally all Islamic governments of Afghanistan. The problem is the people inhabiting that place, they either become total cosmopolitan degenerates fucking little boys or they chimp out and murder their neighbors over some sheep dispute or some other stupid shit.
We were never going to win unless we killed them all or subjected them to outright slavery in an attempt to try changing their ways by force. Siding with one faction over another was a recipe for disaster at the outset, especially over the goal of them handing over Bin Laden, who they didn't have and who we ended up getting a decade ago in neighboring Pakistan. So why were we still there after all that? We had no fucking purpose beyond field testing for the MIC garden gnomes.
The issue was always here. The leadership needs to be replaced. A weapon is only as effective as it's wielder, so too is an army.
The problem with Afghanistan is that it isn't really a country. It's a piece of land filled with ungovernable people sandwiched between several real countries.
This. There's exactly 1 way to deal with these people, and it's how the Khan dealt with them. Butcher them until they bend the knee. If they don't bend the knee, continue butchering them. You can win their hearts and minds by ripping them out of their bodies and mounting them on pikes.
It was a joke dude. I was merely pretending to be the MW universe equivalent of a 4chantard
>30,000 men
aren't you confusing America with the Soviets? there were less than 3k US KIAs throughout the entire war
He's talking about MW1 where US forces get baited into getting blasted by a nuke.
30k is still way too high numbers tbh, no way there would be that many soldiers in a single city
I get they were trying to make the storyline more "realistic" but all it does is remove any sort of impact from the actual betrayal. The actual betrayal scene is literally just the shadow company boss saying directly to TF141s face "hey we are going to betray you guys now, pls come quietly" and acting shocked when the spec ops fuckers try to waste you. Shepard literally just announces he's betraying Price over a fucking Skype call.
>We can’t give you freedom. But, we can give you the know-how to acquire it. And that, my friends is worth more than a whole army base of steel.

tfw i see ukies riding american vehicles into battle
>Russia invading the US
So is MW2 considered science fiction now?
>science fiction now
desu, it was a wishful fantasy even back then
Science fiction? moron, it belongs in the realm of fucking fantasy.
Halo is science fiction.
Titanfall is science fiction.
Warhammer 40K is science fiction.
Tom Clancy is science fiction.
Metro 2033 is science fiction.
Modern Warfare-post CoD4, Black Ops, and any CoD WWII title post-World at War are completely detached from reality that they can only be classified as
-tier fantasy with lower writing quality than Game of Thrones Season 8.

The new MW2 was shit in comparison, we went on a romp through fucking 3rd world shitholes.
Instead, the old MW2 had us romping through the middleeast, blowing up some retarded Russian base in a blizzard and getting nooked, the invasion of the US, some retarded shit involving Russian nooks and a betrayal by some random dude for basically no reason.
It was a fever dream, but it was a FUN rever dream
>now
It was ludicrous even back then.
>science fiction
Barely even qualifies as science fantasy. It's Red Alert-tier crazy.
not weapons
I remember playing the old cod MW series thinking it was the absolute pinnacle of story telling when I was like 13. I tried playing the new ones campaign and it just seemed even more retarded but I wanted to have sex with the Mexican lady
>but I wanted to have sex with the Mexican lady
Exquisite tastes
>I agree with illegal immigration
>Was he right?
he was
Why did he betray the main characters again? If I remember correctly he just wanted to start WW3?
He knew 141 wouldn't be on board with his plans of constant warfare. Nevermind the fact the 141 was basically a bunch of super soldiers, they knew too much and would eventually put 2 and 2 together and expose him. Also, I think he was a little mad about D.C. getting EMP'd
Yes, I am not even from USA but credit where it is due.
>Vietnam
>Afghanistan
Shall I remind you both China and the Soviet Union had to pull back too from these respective countries?
im gay
Well, we called them chaplains not generals, luck has a lot to do with it collecting stories of dead men. Idk is he right?
Why did they chop his balls off in the remake?
They made him mirror what an actual general is like. A guy pushing things around on a board, pressing buttons, and telling people what to do without anyone asking why, and no one wanting to know why he was doing them. A politician rather than a warlord.
Is it just me or all of the characters in the new series suck compared to the old one. Shepard specifically
No, the story/characters suck. Feels like a netflix show. It tries to be more "serious" and realistic than the old cod, yet it completely fails at it.
Yes it sucks, they even race swapped some characters like Gaz lmao.
sums it up, they try to make some sort of "realism" story but its just fucking retarded.
>We are the most powerful military force in the history of man
lel. Vikings did tougher shit with no technology. American lost 200k to suicide. They're like trannies
>Vikings did tougher shit with no technology
You mean like how Swedish men slept in the barn because they were considered no better than farm animals? Or is slaughtering unarmed monks who would have given you what you came for free of charge now a benchmark of toughness?
Leave it to americans to not knowing any history
No, that’s why nobody batted an eye when he lost over 9000 men that day or whatever it was
>powerful military force in the history of man
an evil empire lasting from 1945 to 20something, historians will decided in the future, that lost most of its wars against inferior opponents (and then baptisedthem as victories), whose even victories were against its own existential interests. We need new term, not Pyrrhic victory, but "soothsaying victories" of the Americans.
>powerful military force in the history of man
that was Alexander the Great's army while he led it, it was those particular men. Americans are average masses of trash at best.
>prospering of your people
worst country on the planet, with the most deluded people in all aspects. Sickest physically, mentally, emotionally and devoid of all spirit. Full of gangs and serial killers.
>We can’t give you freedom
USA is a corporation of slaves that think they are free citizen heroes.
>heroes
Foulest of villains and the greatest moron slave people that ever existed
USA is the worst most evil country that has ever existed and has no right to exist anymore. You are getting massively nuked and utterly annihilated. A country of money-lenders and murderers.
>that was Alexander the Great's army while he led it
Alexander the Great's army would get easily thrashed by the American army.
