Man, the hits to the feels this game gives you. Just completed the Collateral Damage mission, goddamn that ending sucks.....

Add Hill 493 to that list. These late game missions really start to increase the gut punches.

The mission where you have to

Spoiler

help rescue the little girl from the basement had me beyond nervous. I hate things that startle me and trying to escape a basement without Nazi soldiers seeing you is the epitome of nerve wracking. Can't even imagine the poor people that had to do it in real life (went spoiler because I didn't know who to explain it without using detail haha)

Just finished the campaign. Holy ****. It's rare that a game gets to me, but those final missions and the epilogue, damn, it got to me.

First, on a general note, damn those cutscenes looked amazing during some of the later missions. It at times felt like I was watching a real Hollywood movie/miniseries akin to Saving Private Ryan, Battle of the Bulge, The Longest Day, Fury or Band of Brothers, it just seemed so realistic, like you were looking at real people in those cutscenes.

Second, comments post-epilogue, so spoilers ahead unless you have beaten the game:

Spoiler

Damn, I really thought Zuss was gonna end up dead. Walking through that labor camp, I had my heart in my throat the entire time I slowly walked through it, expecting to find Zuss's body behind every turn I made.

I am happy to see Zuss survived, though it was a surreal experience walking through that camp. Even if it is a video game, as someone who has a massive world war two interest, even between all the books I've read on the war, all the movies and TV shows I've watched that even touch on the camps, sitting there walking through one, even virtually, through the eyes of Daniels, it just seemed to get to me in ways other media hadn't in regards to the camps.

I'm still sad about Turner dying, I actually had grown to like him during the early missions, only to lose him on Hill 493.

And as for Collateral Damage, that was an unexpected hit to the gut. All you go through to save the little girl, only for her mother to end up shot at the very end, got that ripped the rug out from under me. I honestly went back to checkpoint twice thinking if I reacted faster and shot the one on the left first, since he was shooting into the side of the truck, I thought I could save her. It took me trying it three times to realize that no matter what I did, she was going to die. I wanted so badly to save her and end that mission with her alive.

I give Sledgehammer Games full marks on the campaign. Most COD campaigns are clearly afterthoughts behind multi-player, but they did a great job on this one. Between the realistic looking cutscenes and the story they managed to tell, they did an incredible job with this game.

Another part I just remembered, when you're in the Ardennes Forest on Battle of thr Bulge, when that artillery started up, holy ****, I felt like I was right there in the middle of the Band of Brothers episode. Artillery shells landing everywhere, trees exploding into millions of wooden shrapnel, limbs and entire trees falling everywhere, you're racing to dive into your foxhole, then after the barrage ends, the cries and calls and shouts for medics. Jesus, that was incredibly well done on that part in the Ardennes.

And another part I just remembered, I never saw that plot twist coming with Paul. Maybe there were signs that some of you others picked up on, but I honestly never saw it coming. All those flashbacks, the assumed "letters" to Paul, thinking he was waiting for you back home, only to find out at the end of the game that he actually died that day because Daniels was unable to get the bullet loaded and shoot the wolf. That just hit me out of left field watching the truth of that day play out before me, and finding out the true drive for why Daniels so badly wanted to find and save Zuss, instead of just taking his orders and going home to a heroes welcome, because after failing to save Paul that day, just leaving and going home would have been him condemning Zuss and his conscience wouldn't let him do that, not to a brother.

Oh absolutely, that part of the mission had me on edge, which it takes a lot for a game to get me to do. And I agree, the people who had to do that in real life, when it was literally pull it off or face certain death, I can't even begin to feel or understand what they felt and went through.

Here, you get caught, you reload to the previous checkpoint. You get caught in that situation in real life, you either get executed, or worse, which considering the things the Nazis did, just straight up death in some cases really was the better way out rather than be forced to suffer through the multitude of other human atrocities they committed.

Hopefully I kept this reply is vague enough to not need spoilers, but if someone feels it should have them, I'll happily throw them on.

Even bot matches are fun. They even PTFO pretty well in Domination.

I almost lost to regular difficulty bots, as the Allies, on the D Day Operation Neptune War map. I made it through off the beaches alright, captured the bunkers, then ended up barely managing to destroy the enemy communications with less than 20 seconds on the clock. Destroying the artillery guns went a little better but not much. I was shocked at how much the bots were whooping my *** during the game.

I just did a match of Gridiron on Gustav Cannon so I could focus on learning the map, and damn, those bastards can shoot and set up traps! I ran the ball almost all the way across the map, my teammates clearing the way for me, I made my last sprint into the enemy base to score only to have a guy with a shotgun turn the corner right as I ran in the door and blast me in the face.

Now, I might have been pissed in the past, but the only thing I could do was start laughing, think of Home Alone 2 and say " Ow! Right in the schnoz!" That's still making me grin like an idiot right now just thinking about it.

I'm planning in diving into real MP here at some point (I'm looking forward to War now that I've played it in private match and the always classic Capture the Flag, which has been a must for me since clear back to the Halo 1 days), right now just doing some private matches with bots so I can better learn the maps before having to fight my way through them against real players.
