After all this my biggest question is, why was Shepard buried at Arlington with a Marine Corps Honor Guard instead of the Army's Old Gaurd?

Problem is that, why Russia attacked US, when they clearly knows it was Makarov... it wasn't like he was wearing a mask... litterly paper with his face as terrorist...

Crazy to think back when I played this when I was a teen, I used to think Russia was capable of stuff like that after seeing them in Ukraine I don’t even think they’re capable of wiping.

Russians and US fighting together. Russians "hating them for being the victor". Call of Duty released in 2009. Hmmm, wasn't Shepard British?

90% of the comments miss the point. The guy is a Coriolanus-coded figure, feeling so wronged that he saw only self-destructive vengeance and violence as the only way to exact his revenge. Just like Coriolanus, Shepherd worked with Makarov to the means of eventually destroying Makarov. He needed casus belli to wage war against Russia, against Al-Assad, against all the enemies of the US so he could avenge his men, to reclaim his honor and glory. The desire for vengeance consumed him, so much that eventually he became callous to even the deaths of Shadow Company members who were former military turned into wetwork specialists/government-supported mercenaries. These men most likely fought alongside the rangers in the middle east, and now you're putting them down like they're just another enemy. An eye for an eye, and Shepherd became blind. But so did you, for this wasn't a heroic victory. Nothing was won here. The third world war still broke out. America is still under invasion. Europe is soon to be completely enveloped in conflict and soon invasion by Russia. Nothing was gained, only victims remained. the war, just like the nuclear strike, left nothing but victims. Shepherd, Roach, Ghost, Soap. No one was left unscathed, no one was left without grief. Such is the way of war.

Ahh back when people thought Russia was threat 😂

So in attempt to make excuses for Shepherd, he revealed that he was even worse than we initially thought?

THIS IS YOUR ONE AND ONLY VIDEO?? EXCUSE MEEE???

He’s a man who believes the end justifies the means. By that standard, he became the “means”, which corrupted him so completely.

Even though he was kind of a misguided pretty evil bastard by all accounts this general Shepherd is at least cool the new one was so boring like this one is in a beret standing next to his troops shooting at the Taliban with a revolver new general Shepherd is a fucking paper pusher

So you're telling me General A.H. Göerste Shepherd is actually a National Hero? 👁️👃👁️🙏

I never saw Gen. Sheppard as a villain. His actions were measured and calculated, His actions and decisions were valid and justified. Granted they were cold and callous, but they were necessary.

Shepard may have the right idea wanting the world to care about his soldiers that give their lives for a better tomorrow, he just went at it the wrong way by doing similar things the villains he is fighting are doing which made him lose the moral high ground.

Cod Fans logic Makarov killing many people with nuke and massacre and spreading "Russian Supremacy": 😊 Menendez taking vengeance for his family: 😠 Shepherd killing ghost and roach: 🤬🤬🤬

He brought war to the country and people he was supposed to keep from seeing war it would have made more sense if instead of Russia invading the us it was all in europe and instead of them blaming the US the saw it as an act of war across all of nato still better than them pussyfooting around with modern cod because we want to be safe

Sad shit, imagine his face the moment he realized that nuke went off.

What could make Shepard seem not only more insane, but also a massive hypocrite, is if the theory that Roach is Sgt. Jackson from MW is true. Shepard was willing to kill a survivor of the nuke, literally one of his own men that he pretends to care so much about, to cover his tracks and get the glory he was craving.

In all, I think the mistake story wise of OG MW2 and MW3 was they did the Shepherd betrayal too early and making Makarov the villain of MW3. I think, in hindsight, it would have worked so much better if MW2 ends with us getting Makarov thinking, alright, we saved the day, and THEN Shepherd betrays us and MW3 is Price and Soap and the 141 survivors working to clear their name and prove to the world Shepherd was the real villain the whole time.

He is the most hated for a reason, he is the personification of the "Glory Hound". He will throw everything at the wall for glory.

the most crazy thing about that whole story is that a Private First Class is sent on a high value undercover mission

“His tragic death” It’s about as tragic as watching a trash bag slump to the bottom of a dumpster.😂

i mean shit.. i'd crash out too if i lost 30k men that quick

Dude I was in the military And I know for a fact that the general would not give a s*** about losing 30000 soldiers, These guys barely even know their soldiers faces and names, Yeah I think this was really about ego cause I've never met a general who gave a s*** about his soldiers this much.

His speech when he was attempting to execute Soap was the only time I had any sympathy for the fallen General. He lost 40,000 men in the blink and the world just watched.

Can we talk about how general Shepherd groomed a Private First Class?

bruh, the lore for this military recruitment propaganda is top tier

6:04 what every player did in no russian

Click bait. This was like one of those ads that keeps dragging you along after 5 minutes. Could have been a quarter of the timr

The worst part of Shepherd is in the end he wins, not the way he wanted too but he still won.

'So how do I look'- Troy Baker.

thought the thumbnail was hitler for a sec

He wasn't really that bad. We can compare him to Danzo Shimura. He did whatever it takes and however dirty ways he can, just to do whatever he thinks is right.

So I am not 100% sure on this but I believe Shepherd did what he did out of some kind of misguided patriotism. One can imagine the U.S. military was at a weak point after the nuclear detonation that killed us (As PFC Jackson; USMC) and all the U.S. troops and assets (Helicopters, jets, tanks, APCs etc) in the A.O. (Area of Operations). One can also imagine Shepherd seething with anger, pain and revenge for the loss of his countrymen. With this being said, I believe he staged the whole thing to dredge up support (Both congressional and popular) for a stronger military force to exact that revenge and protect against future aggression. Just my opinion and how I see it. What do you guys think?

All you had to do was listen to him say "I Lost 30,000 men in the Blink of an Eye and the World just Fuckin' Watched!"

Raul Menedez has always been the CoD Villain I hated the most; All of what he did was a result of actions that were HIS *FAULT* first and foremost.

Glad to have found this channel on the first video 😎😎

Basically George W bush ir

Shepard's betrayal began when the nuke went off in MW1, "I lost 30,000 men in the blink of an eye." Makarov was the mastermind pulling the strings to set that nuke off. He was also the one one that blew Alan's cover and told Makarov, all part of his plan. His opening speech lays out his intentions when you really listen to it.

That's Zakhaev International Airport.

There is no excuse for allowing a bad man to do bad things and helping him do even worse. If Shepard were a true patriot or a ‘legend,’ he would have opted to end this when he had the chance. But hey, if he weren’t who he is, we wouldn’t have gotten this masterpiece of a game.

Even though they were marked as war criminal, In MW3 there are hints that Sandman, Grinch, and Trucker knew about General Shepard and his betrayal. They still work with TF141 even though they were still marked as war criminals

"The number 1 most hated man in CoD" Makarov (killed innocent civilians in an airport, bombed various places and so many more before he started world war 3): Am I a joke to you?

"and the world just fucking watched" is SO underrated in these analyses of Shepard's mental state... bro feels the guilt of what happened, views everyone else as seeing it as inconsequential and is livid that the rest of the world is quick to paint the US as a villain to justify taking it down for other interest groups while Americans themselves do not seem to care about the fact 30 thousand Americans were nuked... this is why he is so prideful in creating heroes and legends while dragging villains out into the light while being 100% ok with having the US burn for it, he wants to cleans the US of weakness and reinvigorate it's people in the crucible of war while pulling Makarov out into the open and ordaining to the world that clearly abandoned America since you don't see the EU doing ANYTHING to alert the US about a Russian invasion into the Atlantic or condemn the attempt to nuke DC that they chose to side with a man who caused it all

"Every time someone tries to end a war before it starts, innocent people die."

I think you missed several things there, which do slightly change your take on Shepherd: While I agree, that it was the loss of 30000 men under his command, that messed up Shepherd, it did so in a twofold way: a) he developed something of a "survivor's guilt" complex, thinking that he should have died with his men. We get that from his line "And the world just fuckin' watched." b) the guilt from this was the driving factor behind him wanting to become a legend - which he wanted to do to atone for his failure & to honour the men he had lost. Remember that it was Zhakaev and Makarov, who set the nuke off killing the US soldiers. So this was partially revenge for that. So now what did you miss, that does play into all of this (remember I do agree with most of what is in this video. This just is added info): 1) From the Operation Kingfish short movie we know that it was during this operation that Price ended up in the Gulag. It is also IMPLIED (I gotta stress that point) that the intel, on which Shepherd based the operation, was faulty. Since Shepherd was in charge of the mission overall that makes him culpable for Price ending up in the Gulag, sparking the bad blood between the two. That is part of why Price launches the ICBM to EMP the entire US east coast. Yet another incident where Shepherd may have let men under his command down. 2) The massacre in MW2 takes place in the Zhakaev international airport in Moskow, not the Kiev airport. Given that we are shown a statue of Imran Zhakaev with the inscription "martyr of the new Russia" just moments prior it does show you how much the memory of Zhakaev was upheld by the Russian Ultranationalists and Russia in general in the CoD MW timeline. So to apparently have Americans commit atrocities in such a place - now that is just adding insult to injury, pushing the moderate Russians onto the side of the Ultranationalists. That was how Makarov got his blank check to attack the US. 3) Price didn't retarget the ICBM launched from the Typhoon class submarine - he launched it deliberately. He did it for the simple reason, that he knew that the NATO forces would be leaderless without the US standing strong. At that point in time the US needed to play for time to rally its forces on the east coast, where a lot of the important command installations are. Since the US mostly had only infantry contingents ready to engage the Russian landing forces Price pretty much went for the nuclear option: a high altitude nuclear blast aka a large area EMP. [Sidebar: That a nuke also causes an EMP is a well known fact and there have tests of nuclear blasts in low orbit, where there is little/no fallout that falls back to earth but just shuts down giant areas of land. These tests were banned under the partial nuclear test ban treaty of 1963.] The EMP disables the Russian armor and communications, giving the US the time it needs to rally for the counter attack. The major problem with this is: an EMP doesn't give a shit about your flag. The damage price caused to the civilian population with this EMP is incalculable. It furthermore destroyed & delayed a lot of what Shepherd had in place in terms of available assets to resist the Russian forces. So he resorted to using assets, which hadn't been affected by the EMP because they were far away from the impact zone to hunt down the remaining man on his hit list: Makaraov. 4) Price and TF141 knew too much about Shepherd and could piece things together if they actually got to talking with Makarov - yes that was a major reason why Shepherd wanted them dead but apart from that: Price had de-facto gone rouge and set off a nuke. Such insubordination can't go unpunished & Shepherd knew that he had to put Price down or Price would be coming for him, as they both are the type to go for revenge in the long term. Now if Shepherd had taken out Price, he would have turned all of TF141 against himself, as the loyalty of TF141 was to Price - not him. Given how dangerous and skilled TF141 was he couldn't take risks with any of them. If he took out Price they would have come for him. So his only way was to take them out permanently. Yes that was a betrayal of their trust but in his mind he betrayed them in order to serve the higher goal of getting revenge for the 30000 KIA, who had been killed in the nuclear detonation 5 years prior.

Slop fresh off the factory floor huh

I know this is for the views but let's play along shall we? It's not cool though if he is using you as an instrument and then discards you like trash after you complete his devious objective no matter if its used for Machivellian purposes. Maybe give some blood money perhaps?

6:05 kyiv is in Ukraine.... not russia
