The thing is that nobody knew about what was coming. Like, seriously, Ray literally said that CoD4 wasn't much awaited by the majority of the people. I'm quite certain that final result of CoD could've as well been a surprise for the devs themselves. And then let's switch our view to America's Army devs - they were making a game for a long period and when the game's ready - BAM!!! They see a rival studio placing a high quality game on the market. Should they just stop the development and close the game, or should they just press on and release your inferior game, because they actually have contract to fulfill? I mean the answer's quite obvious really. There are also some other points to be made - for instance CoD was mostly a game focused on singleplayer, whereas America's Army initially tried to fulfill multiplayer niche, so technically speaking these games aren't quite... of same genre? (or more like subgenre?). It obviously doesn't make AA a good game, but then again, AA was still somewhat a popular game upon release. I clearly remember trying to play it, even talking to some hardcored military simulation fans who played it... It was only few years later when I found out what is first Arma and (oh god!) Operation Flashpoint. But that's a different story.

@@rustyshackleford1508 Modern Warfare and Black Ops franchises are both pro-American propaganda. Modern Warfare justifies America's role as world police because in-universe there really ARE rogue actors with the desire and means to start world war 3 or drop nukes on US soil and it's only through America's imperialism across the world that the conflict is averted/ended. The Russians, Somalis, Arabs, and non-descript terrorist/mercenary armies that make up the opposing force are not just human actors with opposing goals, but faceless hordes led by insane villains like Makarov and Zakhaev. Black Ops is a bog standard Red Scare narrative. Communists of the world are not well meaning people on the opposite end of an ideological stalemate, they're faceless and soulless monsters that torture main characters for fun and plan on using WMDs against civilian targets in the West. The torture of an American citizen by the CIA is justified because of course he really WAS brainwashed by soviet super-science to be a sleeper agent. Once again, the Russians, Vietcong, and Cubans are not portrayed with even a hint of humanity, the Soviet villains in Black Ops go even further beyond MW's villains by working with a literal nazi defector to perfect Nova 6 and plan to use it on civilian targets. There's more of the same in Black Ops 2. Why did the CIA order a hit on Menendez's father for involvement in the drug trade, a thing the CIA was infamously caught doing around that same time? Why was Woods' team supporting the neo-colonialist UNITA forces in Angola? Why was the US supporting the Mujahideen? Why were we allied with Noriega? Why did we turn on Noriega, why was he hiding in Panama, why did we stage an invasion of Panama just to capture him? Some of these questions are given justifications in the game, answers that gloss over history. If you're well-read, you might know that these events don't cast the US in a positive light, but does the average CoD player know all that? Or does the average CoD player see US involvement in a conflict half-way across the world and assume that whatever is going on is justified because Menendez is involved and he's the bad guy? Speaking of Menendez, let's never question why someone who's seen decades of US foreign interference first-hand would ever want to see America implode. The entire point of moving into the realm of sci-fi with the subsequent CoD games was to escape the moral greyness of real life so they could focus on telling stories about vaguely American badass super soldiers shooting at vaguely Russian/German/Chinese bad guys.

Even before COD's release, the general consensus of modern military game design have all somewhat converged towards those features because it is what best simulates the experiences of a soldier in a real life setting. You don't shoot when you're running, you can't hit anything when you're holding a gun by your hip, and you can't really survive more than 3 shots of rifle rounds to the chest.

MW was the last CoD game where freedom was still given and the last CoD that really was made with heart behind it. Ever since it mainly had been copying its own success and got even more successful in sales with it somehow.

And yes, even though it was gutted and sold like a cheap whore to Treyarch. It's, dare I say it; revolutionary in a minute sense. No military shooter has come close to its attention to detail, commitment to mil-sim fantasy, gameplay sound design, weapon realism, and technical/visual prowess.

Of all the “modern military shooters”, my favorite is still the first Soldier of Fortune. It isn’t just the over the top gore, which is a major draw because it makes every weapon feel impactful (seriously, the shotgun kicks ass), but it also plays very differently and in a way I prefer. SoF1 was on the Quake 2 engine and has the gameplay more in line with Quake or Doom rather than the mil sims of the era, so you ran around really fast with very accurate hip fire. You could also customize the difficulty, including enemy spawn rates. So what I did was increase enemy spawn rates to maximum while reducing enemy difficulty, creating a game where I ran around firing from the hip mowing down hundreds of dudes who can’t hit shit. It very much became the exact type of experience in a typical 80’s action flick, which was AWESOME. Also, the ability to pick and choose my own load out was something more military shooters need to do. Military shooters are all about gun porn, and I want to use the guns I like the most rather than just what the game gives me.

The transparent iron sights of America's Army: True Soldiers is actually quite innovative for what it was trying to do for the time; it's trying to emulate the human eye's view of iron sights when correctly aiming with 2 eyes, and especially with a diopter sight like on the M16A1, M16A2/A4 (as seen in the game), etc. Even with us using a custom engine in 2021, properly emulating the appearance of 3D iron sights without altering the model itself to accommodate it is a difficult task, so it's commendable that they were at least experimenting with the idea back in 2007, it's just a shame that the rest of the game is so poor.

General issue is that gun doesn't block you view just because it's shouldered. You have 2 eyes, only one of them is partially obscured with a gun, and in much smaller degree than in a videogame ADS mode. In Virtual Battle Space (actual training tool) gun model, including sight, can be made semi-transparent to remove that unrealistic limitation. With 2D sights you can get quasi-realistic but functional enough view by making them semi-transparent, and change shape to what you see when focusing on target, like Delta Force BHD did with M16 and G3. I guess AA tried that with 3D sights, but damn it just looks awkward.

I think it's also worth mentioning that they did an expansion to the game, titled Team Sabre. It introduced two new campaigns that both take place in vastly different environments, one being in Iraq and the other being in Colombia. I recommend you check it out if you're interested...

Not to excuse the poor design of True Soldiers, but the transparent rear ironsights are somewhat more representative of proper focal length through an aperture sight. When you focus on the target, you effectively "look through" stuff that is way closer to your eye.

The first red dogt sights made use of this phenomenon. They were not translucent. Instead, all they did was illuminate a red dot in front of a black background where normally there would be lenses. By keeping both eyes open, you would see the red dot on your target and effectively through the opaque material around it.

I'd rather ubisoft let it stay dead. Wildlands and to a degree Breakpoint, ARE fun games. But they aren't ghost recon. The same way the last few splinter cell games they did, weren't Splinter Cell. Ubisoft has this horrible problem of going 'well far cry 3 was a massive success, therefore every 'open' shooter we make needs to follow far cry's blueprint!'. They lost what made the games unique in the first place. I think Raycevick would probably directly agree with me on this: I'd rather have a rough, but inventive experience, than yet another samey polished turd resting on the laurels of being 'average' but being carried by brand loyalty and marketing money. I don't know that he'd agree uncontested with the following: The games industry as a whole would be better off if they would stop throwing so much into marketing, and stop acting like every single game had to make infinite money. Not every game will be a CoD 4. That's fine. That doesn't mean they are unloved, or that they won't make profit. Trying to use the ridiculous successes as a bar to entry only results in the dilution of ideas and fatigue of the market, especially when you try to meet that bar by copying the thing the successful game did and expecting to be as interesting the five millionth time you've played it. Part of what I love about the Japanese games industry, and why I hope they will stop trying to become the western games industry, is that they aren't afraid to do smaller games with more unique approaches. They aren't afraid to take a little risk, nor to keep a series that isn't blockbusting going when there is a core fanbase they can rely on. Just look how big niche stuff like monster hunter, Metal gear, and Dark souls get when they throw any level of advertising behind them! Don't even need to mention Resident Evil. Even weirder stuff like Disgaea tends to blow sales expectations out of the water when they advertise!

Conviction was fun, papa Fisher doing the Taken routine was pretty fun, but it wasn't really splinter cell at that point. At least in that one his lack of stealth focus and more brutal behavior had a REALLY solid explanation behind it. I thought it offered a really solid closing to the series, and would have been happy if they left it there.

I really love Delta Force Black Hawk Down. I played it for the first time in 2004 at 11 years old and was unable to complete the game, but still was very impressed by it. Later, in 2008, I was sent to country house for summer with laptop. For some reason laptop was able to run decently only Delta Force. I finally managed to finish the game and its expansions. And I found mission editor that became my obsession for quite a long. By the end of the summer I learnt how to create heavily scripted missions similar to COD4's Chernobyl mission. I even tried to add custom vehicles to Delta Force. Hell, how it is even possible to accomplish without any manuals or internet?! Later I switched to HL2 modding, then UE3, UE4 and eventually ended up as software developer. Nice video, thanks for memories!

Worst thing for me was the leveling/loot by numbers system. That is about as far from what I want in a Ghost Recon as they can get. Another of Ubis "all our games must use the same stuff" feature, like Division and Crew, and because they want to follow the games as a service trend.
