so, what military thech they got right and got wrong?

Some right, mostly wrong. Like the tech they depicted correctly was shit that already existed practically verbatim, while the speculative shit is all nonsense.

>>63800306
they were kinda right with drones and social media

>>63800293 (OP)
They got the takeover of drones and influencers, but wrong on the drones being controlled globally by a vulnerable universal AI grid

>>63800317
still from what i heard about ukrainian drone attack, some of those drones were operated via AI

>>63800310
Facebook and switchblades absolutely already existed in 2012.

>>63800327
Once that AI is run remotely from some cloud server instead of local software it will be right

>>63800328
yeah, but the culture war shit started around 2013

>>63800293 (OP)
they got the development of drones right but they predicted they would shoot bullets instead of being explosives in themselves.

The Hunter Killer was definitely the most common multiplayer drone though

>>63800371
at least kel-tec is still in use

shame that no cloaking devices were developed

>>63800293 (OP)
Some stuff was intentionally more sci-fi than real. The M8A1 for example wouldn't happen because that program didn't work out years before BO2 was a thing. It's a funny thing like how AN-94s still show up every now and then in games in much greater capacity than real life long after it didn't replace the 74M.

>>63800293 (OP)
I mean, they got the broad strokes right, but totally missed on the details.

The AN94 and M8A1 were my favorite guns in that. Too bad I'll never get them irl, what's even the fucking point

>>63800293 (OP)

>>63800371
To be fair the FNP-45 is superceded by the FNX-45 which is practically the same gun.

>>63800371
>Ballista is kill
Really? Why'd they discontinue it? You'd think that a video game appearance would help with sales.
>Vector
>somehow almost feels outdated now
What makes this more strange is that the Vector is basically Kriss' only viable product, and it's reputation is built off of dwindling vidya appearances. I know they're making a new handgun but they really have to breathe new life into the Vector, that or make a new non-AR long gun if they want to survive.

>>63800293 (OP)
One ending predicted a mob of retards motivated by social media bullshit + misinformation storming a government building in Washington DC. That part is right, but they predicted the wrong building.

>>63803510
I got no clue how to get an AN94 but on XM8s there exists conversion shells for SL8s. It won't be the same as an M8A1, that'd need some custom job, but the internal system probably isn't too different from the XM8's, which is more or less a G36 in a new shell. It'd be more doable as some custom order than the Russian space magic AN94 with its really weird system.

>>63804880
The FDE FNX-45 is also discontinued. The black variant might not be but even so, I don't know if I would expect them to be supported for a whole lot longer given the release of the FN 545.

>>63804937
Idk but it probably had something to do with it not having a whole lot to distinguish itself from other rifles with more military contracts like the Sako TRG M10 and Barrett MRAD. Although, it seems it may still be available abroad under its original TPG-3 A4 designation, don't imagine they sell bunches though.

Anyways the reality is that most dudes buying .338 Lapuas are probably buying a cheap Remington 700 which is a half step from exploding (the bolt is not a good fit for Lapua, at all, hence why .338 RUM exists and why the Remington MSR is kinda lulz worthy) or a Savage Axis to dick around with or because a boomer told them they need that level of power to take elk at 200m. Most people who buy more expensive rifles are probably putting something together on a custom Stiller or BAT or Borden action coupled with a Bartlein, Krieger, Lilja etc barrel, and couple that with the increasing popularity of 338 Norma, the market for the remaining portion who would actually be interested in a "premium" 338 Lapua factory rifle is pretty slim.

On that note, fun fact, .338 Lapua has significantly more potential than .338 Norma owing to its greater case capacity BUT most factory rifles don't actually accept magazines long enough to take advantage of that with the heavy 300+ gr bullets, and at CIP length the two are about equal in velocity, meaning you are probably going to have to get a custom rifle if you really want to take advantage of the round. 338 RUM and 338 EDGE are inferior to Lapua since you have to load the bullets shorter AND they have less case capacity, they basically only exist so poorfags can use their Rem 700 or standard long action receivers for a .338 Magnum without blowing up their rifles but are otherwise pointless.

>>63806161
Don't forget the US and China being friends.

>>63807925

>>63806161
To be fair, if you told any call of duty writer at the time that the republicans would betray the western alliance and become Russia's bitch, you would have been laughed at and told that's to ridiculous to happen.

>>63807925
To be fair, you had to do them a favor by killing one for their generals that went rogue. I assume they're just paying you back when they rescue the USS Obongo

>>63807925
It depends on the player's actions and they are competing at the beginning. There are endings where they're not.

>>63805407
>war in a country that practically was constantly in some kind of war since the 90s
I am sad because that describes many countries and if it weren't for the context, I wouldn't know this was talking about Yemen.

>>63807941
The insane thing about modern day is that even satire has a hard time keeping up with the absurdity.

You play as a 56 year old man who looks thirty and moves like he's twenty five. Also, literally same age his father was when he "died" fighting in Panama.
I have a hunch David isn't making it past this game. He probably gets punched out by 72 year old Raul Menendez.

>>63808065
Anti-aging technology or some shit. Or they just retcon his age, not like he looked like he was in his 40's in blops 2 anyways.

>>63800335
Did you forget about the Moral Majority? Roe v. Wade? hell, what about the Civil Rights Era or Prohibition? We've been culture-warring, buddy.

>>63808073
Problem is that he was kidnapped by Menendez in Panama and was a kid when Alex Mason was already 56 (note same age, that has to be on purpose). If you make him younger you have to move Panama forward and make Alex older, or make BLOPS 2 take place earlier which is goofy because then it runs into the nu-MW games.

In other words, either David is 56 or they have to pull a Tokyo Drift and fuck the timeline.

>>63806161
>>David Petraeus as Secretary of Defense
This was the big one for me on my most recent visit. When I was big into military LEGO builders, there was a guy who was doing a near-future US military and he developed a wheeled IFV he called the Petraeus. When he renamed it was how I discovered that embarrassing fall from grace.

>>63808112
In fairness, Tokyo Drift was the third film in the franchise. It was the movies that came after that fucked the timeline.

>>63808119
>tfw you've god's eye at the same time a rich high school kid is flexing an old-ass viper and kids are using Hi-8 camcorders.

I've noticed video game protagonists are trending older. If you were 18 when Combat Evolved came out, you'd be 42 now. 18 when COD 1 came out, 40. David is 56 and Master Chief is 49.

>>63808065
it's all happening in his head anyway. they've really fucked everything up with bo3 and 4. with bo2 it was nonsense but fun now it's just nonsense.

>>63807930
>>63807998
The alliance between America and China was the canon ending for Strike Force

>>63807949
Wrong, you were on friendly relations if you killed the ultra conservative general since they not only save the Obama, but send in soldiers to assist you in the final level against Menedez.

>>63808167
Personally, I think Advanced Warfare was the last CoD where the story was really enjoyable (although I feel the ending is week and bland), and Infinite Warfare was the last one where the gameplay was fun (in spite of the utterly ridiculous plot and the dogshit boring space dogfights that get forced into everything). I played the first iteration of the new MW series, and it lacked the same pull of the originals. I think it isn't serious enough to be autistic fun, and it isn't as balls-to-the-wall badass as the originals so it can't be stupid fun, and so its just middling.

Or maybe I just grew out of it, and all that makes the old games appealing is nostalgia.

>>63808167

I've read that the new MW games are basically the netflix adaption of the original trilogy. I think that hits the nail on the head. Each character is mogged by their predecessor except Ghost.

This goes double for Soap, triple for price, and ten times over for Shepherd and Makarov.

>>63808583
>Each character is mogged by their predecessor except Ghost.
Oh if only you knew

>>63808583
>Each character is mogged by their predecessor except Ghost
Wdym? New ghost is embarrassing. The line between cool and cringe is being effortless (hence "tryhard"), old ghost took a skimask he was already wearing and painted a skull on, probably got a few laughs and then carried on with his day and the implication is off the job he's maskless and normal. New ghost goes out of his way to wear an airsoft mask with hard plastic bits stuck to it, and furthermore, wears it off duty at the local pub and people act like he's not a freak. Plus Ghost was the Boba Fett of MW2, where he was cool because he looked cool, said little and we knew very little about him. New ghost talks far too much and his backstory is overexplained, making him lame; much like the actual Boba Fett.

>>63808555
>Admitting he's a Vatnik
>Losing a third of your bombers to some drones
LMAO

>>63808359
That's too kind to IW's plot. Gundam at least implies that there are substantial other elements of the Earth Federation active, even if all we see is Amuro and Co. soloing the best Zeon can throw at them. Infinite Warfare, by contrast, repeatedly hammers into your head that you and one are ship are it. The entire rest of Earth's military was smoked in the initial surprise attack, and you don't even get halfway through the campaign before your companion's ship also gets blasted to pieces. (you), Lebanese chick, Discount Space Sgt. Foley, and Johnny Five single-handledly beat the entire SDF, even if it does get everyone but the Lebanese chick killed in frankly emotionless and underwhelming ways.

>>63808620
I more meant "would lose a fight to".

>>63808505
Depending on where Woods shot, the plot reason could've been Woods wanting Menendez to have a more painful death than a single headshot so he hit a less lethal area before realizing he hit Mason.

>>63808708
>the virgin Zakhaev - gets shot by a .50 cal and does a backflip losing an arm, has to be rescued by his bitch boy Makarov and incel Yuri

NTA but quite a lot. I've heard Ukrainians claim Polish territory is "Ukrainian ethnic/native lands" because of something about Kievan Rus a thousand years ago. One of their narratives is about the "The Second Polish-Ukrainian War" which tries to depict Volhynia massacres as mutual bloodletting rather than genocide attempt.

On an individual level, I've read insane shit like https://x.com/DevanaUkraine/status/1688966482636541952 which says Hitler hadn't committed crimes by 1941, which is to say invading Poland isn't a crime in her eyes. Between these guys, the Baltic states, and many other narratives I've read from them, I wonder how the hell they come up with these.

Some of the most retarded shit I've read to slander Poland came from Ukraine. One professor named Roman Sheremeta called Polish survivor testimony "Soviet propaganda" regarding massacres done by Ukranians in the 20-40s. He tried saying it was NKVD disguised as Ukrainians, like the Soviets had time in the middle of eastern front to send thousands of men to kill Poles and blame Ukrainians. They allegedly did so well that all the Polish testimony (thousands) said it was Ukrainian neighbors they knew for years and not new people. This particular massacre the Ukrainian government still continues refusing exhumations to this day even when Poland requests it a lot.
>>63818480
I've heard that too. Some Ukrainians for some reason think Poland is "occupying" their land. My worry is after Russia goes home, if they're going to be even harsher.

I think that more serves to emphasize that blackops made no pretense of being a prediction, it was just trying to be cool.

>>63818661
I think most people get Call of Duty wrong. It's not so much a military video game, it's a military MOVIE video game. There were movie references like Behind Enemy Lines from the very first game. Crew Expendable from CoD4 had an Aliens reference https://www.youtube.com/shorts/0qcTZV6xNoI then Wolverines in MW2.

The devs, IW, Treyarch or whoever, clearly want cool factor above all else. Same reason why AN-94s appear in so many video games and the AK-74M hardly gets anything.

>>63818671
Indeed. MW2 had whole levels based around red dawn and the rock, seems like a lot of the confusion came from a generation of people missing they were just references to cool things and taking it literally.

>>63818682
I'm a tad sad at some of the newer generation not so much not immediately getting them, but not searching for them on Google. How many times does a character do a thumbs up before sinking in lava before people Google it and learn about Terminator 2? There's references like that all over and even when it's constantly to the same movie across many games, people somehow don't get it.

>>63800293 (OP)

>>63818879
Yeah, the system is just too overcomplicated for a goal that was dubious in the first place. Similar US programs producing the Colt ACR and G11 weren't successes either, not even adopted.

Let me explain this in terms you can understand
Military intervention doesn't work out for the US very well.
We backed the Taliban during the Russian Invasion of Afghanistan. Guess what? They took a couple of our towers in response years later.
We killed Saddam and that created ISIS.
We assassinated Gaddafi and that created a refugee crisis for all of Europe.
We established a government in Afghanistan only for it to be taken by the Taliban in under 6 hours.
Ukraine isn't our ally, they aren't our problem, fuck em.

>contacts with Poland
A country Ukranians hate to the point they want to sell poisonous grain to and Zelensky calls them Moscow actors for wanting their markets to not be fucked by them. Saying anything but calling them degenerates and killing them is anti-Ukranian therefore vatnik.

They are really going overtime in every thread no matter how little it has to do with the topic, the spam threads aren't enough for them to get by on anymore.

>>63819188
I thought the point is we love enemies and always want a new fight therefore we create circumstances where a new terrorist or enemy nation will be our nest opponent. Thus why we helped China rise.

Will 3D printed guns ever reach BO3 levels?

>>63800293 (OP)
I think Arma 3 portrays future warfare more accurate and believable.
>Sets in 2030s yet we barely get new shit

>>63819736
It's so accurate that people use Arma 3 footage as war footage in propaganda videos.

Eh, they’ve been trying to paint Americans and Russians as buddies since the George W. Bush era.

>He tried saying it was NKVD disguised as Ukrainians, like the Soviets had time in the middle of eastern front to send thousands of men to kill Poles and blame Ukrainians.
It sounds like the dude just ripped off the Katyn massacre.

It kinda happened. I barely remember it so i may be wrong in many places
>ukraine transports grain for africa and other shitholes through poland
>some polish politicians and their families got greedy (mainly from PIS i think), started to buy that grain cheaply and sold it to companies producing food
>in EU that grain wasn't good enugh to be allowed for human consumption, can only be used to feed animals
>huge scandal, polish farmers mad because they are fucked by cheap grain from ukraine, society is mad because they are being "poisoned" by shitty grain
>after some time and change of government in poland farmers get pissed off again because PIS politicians rallied them up
>to stop ukrainian grain that was legally allowed to be sold in poland they organize protest and block off military cargo coming to ukraine through poland
>new polish gov wants to resolve this
>zelensky is pissed off about military cargo getting blocked and ukrainian grain potentially being blocked from selling it in poland/being allowed to be transported through poland (don't remember which)
>"We opened a temporary sea export corridor. We are working on maintaining land trails. Disturbing, some in Europe play solidarity in the Political Theater - turning the issue of grain into a thriller. It may seem that they are playing their own roles. In fact, they help to prepare a scene for an actor from Moscow" - zelensky quote about whole situation
whole thing was a shitshow and basically jump started another wave of anti ukrainian sentiments in poland.

Clearly

>>63820773
Well feel free to correct me

>>63820609
Let me add some context.

There was grain from Ukraine going through Poland supposedly for elsewhere. Said grain was made with EU banned pesticides which both lowered cost of production (thus prices too) and made it much worse for human consumption. I mean, it was practically toxic animal level feed only. The grain was not allowed to be sold in Poland but that didn't stop people from rebranding it once it left Poland then trying to sell the disguised product at Poland. Between the health problems and lower prices, many Polish farmers (and people concerned for Polish markets) were pissed. It was a completely unnecessary shitshow IMO and all people had to do is not sell in Poland. I don't know if any of the grain was sent to Africa or wherever they promised.

Zelensky added more fuel to the fire by implying people unhappy at this or protesting are
>setting the stage for a Moscow actor

Do we have x-ray scopes yet?

Well the cross map tomahawks clearly were an exaggeration

(all the drone focus though seems accurate. Drone swarm kill streak is what being in Ukraine must feel like)

If the multiplayer was any indication, they got the explosive drone use right. That said, the size and scale of some of their units are a bit wonky (like the land drone)

I'm interested if 3D printing tech will ever reach BO3. In that cyberpunk 2070s future, have advanced 3D printing where even highly complex gizmos can be created in way smaller space than a factory floor. This is also why enemies use any mix of weapons regardless of origin, probably because they're 3D printing the shit out of them using stolen, copied, or open source schematics. It's also why ammo boxes refill ammo no matter what gun you have.

>>63830459
I'm not sure how the hell you enforce royalties or patents besides praying whatever software is on the 3D printer can detect and trace illicit printing. Or how much money is made when in-universe open source shit exists, leaked from disgruntled employees and anyone with the right printing hardware can poof up a not!AK the game's datafiles calls high quality and widely used. It's like if the Luty was comparable to modern rifles and so easy to make anyone with a 3D printer could make it. Is any patent enforceable when even today people use AI to analyze art and plagiarize the style? Even if software exists to check for patents, what stops reverse engineering or attempts to tinker with a blueprint just enough to offset detection? What stops people from jailbreaking older and outdated 3D printers that are still good enough?

Whatever, it's just a game. But I can't help but wonder if companies make more money selling specific mixes for materials than the design itself. At least guns must be relatively cheap if high quality open source shit exists.

Cyber Soldiers and background stuff all exist. At very minimum the first mission is all real. But it's somewhat implied Taylor's body gets hijacked in the last mission which might actually happen.
