Some interesting points to being up which I forgot to mention in the video. 1) Syrian Warfare has a DLC package called "Return to Palmyra", I haven't played it and the price of the DLC is almost as much as the actual game so I did not bother. 2) Go watch William Whiteman's reporting on ISIS in Libya if you want to be more informed on terrorism, I am a great fan of his work and he is one of my favourite journalists: ua-cam.com/video/73egUoOWyyg/v-deo.html 3) If you want to learn more about war and videogames then look up a cancelled game called "Guantanamo: Rendition", you play as a Guantanamo Bay inmate who breaks out and escapes while fighting mercenaries. The game's developers were bullied by the Scottish authorities into cancelling the game.
Hello Matt Florence, I have liked your content so I binge-watched all your videos, and am hungry for more. But I have been waiting and waiting. And as of this comment it has nearly been a year, since this video was uploaded. There was no message or explanation at the end of this video, on why you wont be uploading anything again. 🤔Is it because there was no money in this, your busy with university, or your family and neighbors heard you swear and you banned from uploading on UA-cam again😂😆? Anyway, can you post one last video on why there will be no more upload. Thanks. Also, is there anything at all that you can study true Marxism in university, or am I just dreaming, and one more thing, you listen to Rucka?
Just torrent the game ffs, you can get all the dlc/updates for FREE and NO this game is NOT offensive, all you ever hear about is the rebels pov of the war, and if you had bothered to do your research, this game is based off of an ACTUAL account/story of a SAA soldier/syrian.
This is late and might be ignored, but Return to Palmyra is really good. The game went on sale for a while recently (when I picked it up), it might be discounted still. The first couple of missions are incredibly fun on every difficulty, definitely an upgrade in many ways from the original. The second mission might even be my favourite of the entire game so far (I'm moving onto the 3rd soon and will have a stab at those added in Battlegrounds when I get onto it), so if you get the chance, buying it on sale would be worth it.
I have middle eastern friends and they don’t find this game offensive Americans find the game offensive because it’s like how they will attack anyone who attacks another persons race or ethnicity when the person being attacked doesn’t care at all.
I'm american and I find this game offensive because of the racist stereotypes the game protrays certain ethic groups as being it just more wh!te supremacist propaganda 🤷♀️

This game isn't offensive. This the only game that ever got it right on what Isis really are and what Muslims on the other side the ones who fights them feels about them
Bruh. When Russians make games then its propaganda. When Americans make games than its not. This is a awsome game, better than men of war. Also this has to be one of the most based games out there
Welcome to the western hivemind. Rarely has a dumber phenomenon been witnessed in human history. Maybe during Nazi Germany, when Hitler and his cronies managed to convince half of Europe that multiple ethnic groups of people were "sub-humans". Although i have a nasty suspicion that if the American propaganda was to push a narrative like that today, EU and certain select asian nations would gobble it up without question.
That's because russia is war criminals while americans are a free country (democracy) you really can't compare them its like luke skywalker vs darth vader 🤷♀️ also there is nothing 'based' about racist stereotypes on protected ethnic groups

@@abr4ktrey98 First thing i do when trying this game is set the difficulty on realistic.This is my first RTS though. 3rd and 4th mission took 2 days and 3 days.(6 hours each day)
Doug Willis i feel you, i could not cope with realistic, all that pain. My spine was getting bent from playing that game for hours and hours like shit😂.
Thank you for such an awesome fair review. Much love and respect from Syria 🇸🇾 to everyone who is educating him self and trying to look at our side of the story. Respect ✊🏼
This game is made by many of the developer's who actually developed a game called warfare, which was made by GFI Russia. If you guys say that the Americans are called disguised in this, the previous game was actually based on Americans as "good guys" and it was made in 2008.
This game is the best game by far after Kingdom come. The game´s mechanics are so tight knit but simple. The difficulty is punishing but if you really try hard you can achieve fighting without loosing a man. I´m currently in my fourth playthrough. The only thing that really sucks is the utterly broken path finding and AI herpaderpa
tremendous review! Much love from the motherland. Don't forget how all the Russian kids got to play "no Russian mowing down unarmed Russian civilians in the airport saying the whole catch is actually that the player didn't have to shoot to win the mission
No Russian kids played it because it was cutt off from Russian version of the game. You could play this mission only after installing a special patch. That's what I did. But yet game is not forces you to kill anyone from civilians. I gus walked through it by just shooting sometimes above their heads. But yeah you forced to shoot Russian cops to protect yourself... But a lot of Russians would do that gladly anyway, lol. At least in the videogame.
One of the few games to portray journos as the lying dogs they are. Also showed the difference between western and russian propaganda games. In western games, murica and friends are always the heroes, the main fighting forces while locals cower under their beds. In this game, Syrian people fight for themselves. It's their land and their war. The "wild green men" only hopped in from time to time to help with a handful of troops.

Great video, thank you for actually calling out the hypocrisy of the western world, I been to Syria 3 times in the past before the war, it was a paradise on earth, so when an armed rebel group came out of nowhere with a force that matched and even sometimes surpassed the Syrian army was quite questionable, especially since the Syrian army was one of the strongest armies in the middle east, we knew that America and the western world had a hand in this, after all, it's not the first time, it's getting quite old at this point tbh, arming the "rebels" I mean, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq and now Syria, the only thing that was not in their plans was the Russians and Iranians rushing to Syrias help. They also started their media engines non-stop till this day I might say, trying to brainwash whoever is willing to listen. So, I played this game recently and I loved it, it's quite difficult and not as easy as company of heroes 2 or Generals. Also, as an Arab, the stereotypes that they depict in the game are quite light-hearted and funny tbh, I mean I wasn't surprised about the rpg in the backyard thing, after all, with all the conflicts in the zone and how many Syrians had military service, it seems to be about right. Unlike western games like call of duty, which they always depict us as backstabbing, mindless and evil creatures who only want to kill the western people and they omit the fact that they are invading our hometowns pillaging and sometimes even raping "look for Abeer AlJanabi case" all the while portraying themselves as the heroes.
Terrible review, maybe next time focus on the mechanics, gameplay and story instead of whining about how Whites view Arabs (and as a Lebanese guy I loved the RPG buried in the yard line)
more like most anti american politics game ever! The american politicians really hate it and this is why i love this game. Tho by 2017 the Syrian war really was pretty much over in fact the deciding battles happened in 2016.
Ahh yes, geo-politics crosses into the realm of gaming. Love it. No right or wrong here, no opinion being stated. The Cold War 2.0 is playing out in every domain, and Everything is up for grabs. Hope everyone is paying attention. Like the old war, this one too is a Cold War of influence. This is a new generation all the together. That being said, this game is very accurate to the circumstances of the real conflict in Syria. I appreciate it as a piece of history more so than as a piece of propaganda.
Ok hold on. The south africans in angola. You know that the black woman killed their new borns to smuggle ammo and grenades inside them over borders or through south african checkpoints so recruiting children isnt that far from that. And that wasnt because of race. Because even blacks fought with the white south africans. I understand your point but not the same
I get this game can be offensive and controversial, but your thumbnail makes it look like you're defending ISIS... pretty bad move considering ISIS are some of the worst people on this planet...

what else race would you use as the enemy army in a game about US VS a middle eastern faction or country? that's like saying it's racist to have a Vietnam war game with the Vietnam solders as Asian. I'm hearing A lot of "WHA WHA WHA MUH BROWN PEOPLE". of course westerners are going to be offended by a game where their country and people are depicted as bad guys and killed. you're telling me the CCP and Chinese wouldn't? and the people of the middle east aren't now? Stop being so offended. I have this game and will enjoy it the same as I do any other game I play shooting any other race from any other country.
I won't call you an SJW, but this is another example of people constantly looking for racisim and blowing things out of proportion. A man calling a woman "woman", is just that. Nothing racist about it.
I heared some people being mad about that in this game the us are shown making fake news and being a sort of evil, but why is everybody so mad? American games are presenting russians as evil too so i dnt think thats a problem

9:34 Yeah, but that is not how war works in the modern era. Today a small infantry-unit with a cellphone can do ten times more damage then a WW2 division.
A small infantry unit with a fucking _cellphone_ can be tracked down and routed faster than any WWII division. Just need one missile guided by cell towers. (I assume you mean they have CAS, if so then you're still wrong because they need CAS or they're nothing)
Wait, a mission where your local imam has to talk to isis members to leave?? I think that's friggin brilliant, very interesting and unique in a video game! Now the execution on the other hand could be crap though or it could be good, that's what I'm interested in finding out.
Just torrent the game ffs, you can get all the dlc/updates for FREE and NO this game is NOT offensive, all you ever hear about is the rebels pov of the war, and if you had bothered to do your research, this game is based off of an ACTUAL account/story of a SAA soldier/syrian.
I haven’t finished the game yet and had to stop the video at around 7 minutes as it was past where I was in the game. But from what I’ve seen this is clickbait-y but past that the video in itself is very good to where I’ve stopped
I have just stumbled on this game on Steam and deciding to buy it or not (its on sale atm). And I have to admit, the different perspective has me intrigued.
Most offensive wargames are made about ww2 since it makes entertainment about 54 million people dying. This is not even remotely close to be more offending.
But there are many games that feature the Iraq and Afghan Wars while they were/still are ongoing! First that comes to mind of course is Medal of Honor 2010. Okay, now that I've watched the full video.. quite a masterful review!! :D You do humanity honor and I thank you.
wow what great review of a videogame. I came here because I stumball with this game in the internet and as a RTS consumer was wondering if it has what I'm looking for and... it seems it has! look at the distance and scale of the battle even when in reallity is still "small" it depicts a far more realistic engagement in modern warfare pretty interesting. Also I am a historian and I am surprise of the cuality of this video and your objective point of view in the matters around the game and the hidden motivations of the media. I will not enter in debating about modern politics and reinterpetation of historical topics by todays academic instituions or mass media, but I will in what is concern about the game itself. I think this game is a jewl and has potential I certenly I will give it a try but it seems to me that the developers wanted to move forward from the so boring company of heroes games like to explore modern warfare in the RTS mechanics. We saw some games that have try this with some succes in some points and failures in others( it comes to my mind World in Conflict ) but the sheer scale of contemporary war and the fact that civilians hasn't acces to a cualified knowledge or experience to depict how modern combat is conducted on a Tactical and Strategic level has made that the RTS genre afraid to investigate or explore this posibilities aplied to a videogame or maybe it's something else, I really don't know, but it is clear to my that there are very little games that offer insides as how war is in reality today. Thus, when I see somthing like this game I see it as a bold move from the developer and I have to aplaude boldness. I will try the game and look further into the implemented mechanics and see how it match with what we already can learn about the Syrian war and how combat is depicted in the large volume of recorded documentation and video files. Also your style and focus will certanly make me to visit your channel and see what topics interest me, good job, you already have my like.
You seem to have your own double standard in this video. Apparently shooting Islamic terrorists in video games is racist because you're killing brown people. But then when you fight alongside brown people in Afghanistan, then that's also bad because it's depicting the Mujahedeen as good guys. Why exactly is it wrong to depict the Mujahedeen as good guys? If you want to argue that the Americans were the bad guys in the Vietnam war, that's ok, but then you also have to agree that the Soviets in Afghanistan were just as bad if not worse. The Soviets would destroy entire villages, and also kidnap women in helicopters to be gang raped. Many historians actually consider it a genocide. At least for Vietnam, the responsibility can be shared between all sides, because the South Vietnamese government, The Americans, the Viet Cong, and the other Communist allies all committed atrocities. And if you love the Viet Cong so much you can go play the multiplayer in Bad Company 2. Call of Duty also doesn't shy away from having you fight Americans either. In mw2 you fight a rouge American General who's started ww3 for personal gain, and in AW you fight American mercenaries led by Kevin Spacey. Also if you play that Angola mission in Black Ops 2 again and actually pay attention, you'll realize there's plenty of Black people on your side as well, and you also shoot Cubans not just black people, which historically acurate because Cuba and South Africa were involved in the Angolan civil war.
I don't know if you have noticed, but before this game there is a game called Warfare developed by GFI Russia. The two games bear incredible high level of resemblance. Cats who play has been accused of stealing contents from Warfare. ref: southfront.org/steam-store-removes-syrian-warfare-game-because-its-too-pro-russian/ store.steampowered.com/app/35300/Warfare/
Regarding your CoD player reference where theyre whinging they know who to shoot based on language and skin colour. That is war, know who your enemy is. Lets hope these wet flannels stay the fuck away from the armed forces.
Anyone know what is the music playing in the background from 00:10? Or where it is from? I looked through the OST of this game but it's not from Syrian Warfare.
I used to be his biggest fan until he went crazy and started trying to justify 9/11. Definitely NOT the thing to be doing in an age when Islamist terrorism is used as a weapon by imperialism to sabotage underdeveloped nations! He also made a facebook post mocking the death of a young British woman called Anna Campbell who had joined the YPG to defend Syria from ISIS, she was killed when Turkey invaded. She was a heroic and brave woman who had sacrificed her life to defend Syria from terrorism, so when I saw Jason's post it made by blood boil!!!!! When I confronted him he asked me if I was "fuc**** reta****". It's not 2010 anymore, there are dozens of socialist channels hundreds of times better than Unruhe's, my favourites are ContraPoints, Philosophy Tube, Jimmy Dore, Russell Bentley, Three Arrows, HBomberGuy, Caleb Maupin, BoyBoy, Marcel Cartier and William Whiteman.
@@The10000league All of those are literally grifting gay "socialists" who have a hate boner for Elon Musk while shilling for corporate entities like Burger King. At least folks like Jason were unique. Those hacks just hide their funds to appear like anti-establishment underdogs.
I just returned to this vedio to ask if you have seen the new COD game trailer? It shown some parts that are in Syria I would like to see the people who spoke ill of this game to start saying the same about the new COD
Bought this game because I heard it was "Russian Propganda but the best modern day RTS" Turns out for Propaganda but one of the better modern day RTS game

This game is great to play so far (i'm on the 3rd mission) however the voice acting sould have been in arabic with subtitles as its awful. Also the SAA uniforms are incorrect.
remind me of the first one i played. not sure about the other games, i can't remember if it was a thing, but being able to capture ennemy equipments, and conserve them throught the whole campaign, is one of the most amazing thing i loved about it, and can't wait to see into this game when i get my hands on it. Be sure i'll look for the perfect way to steal all them MG jeeps and possibly tanks.

Also, as an Arab, the stereotypes that they depict in the game are quite light-hearted and funny tbh, I mean I wasn't surprised about the rpg in the backyard thing, after all, with all the conflicts in the zone and how many Syrians had military service, it seems to be about right. Unlike western games like call of duty, which they always depict us as backstabbing, mindless and evil creatures who only want to kill the western people and they omit the fact that they are invading our hometowns pillaging and sometimes even raping "look for Abeer AlJanabi case" all the while portraying themselves as the heroes.
people take shit too personally.
Most offensive game ever? Hell no.
Its a video game and this is AMAZING!!!
i will not call that offensive because you are not playing with invader force
I will rate this game 9/11
Fun fact: Not all Syrians are Arabs, and not all Syrians are Muslims. ;p
Terrible review, maybe next time focus on the mechanics, gameplay and story instead of whining about how Whites view Arabs (and as a Lebanese guy I loved the RPG buried in the yard line)
This game is THE BEST RTS of the 21st century so far
more like most anti american politics game ever! The american politicians really hate it and this is why i love this game. Tho by 2017 the Syrian war really was pretty much over in fact the deciding battles happened in 2016.
Drumpf oppresses us gamers.
Ahh yes, geo-politics crosses into the realm of gaming. Love it. No right or wrong here, no opinion being stated. The Cold War 2.0 is playing out in every domain, and Everything is up for grabs. Hope everyone is paying attention. Like the old war, this one too is a Cold War of influence. This is a new generation all the together. That being said, this game is very accurate to the circumstances of the real conflict in Syria. I appreciate it as a piece of history more so than as a piece of propaganda.
Such unfortunate thumbnail for such based video.
I’m an American and I don’t find this game controversial. I think you are just being dramatic
full respect to you for taking the time and understanding the actual situation and then doing such a good video !!
This is the last video he made. Really makes you think, huh.
It makes the game better. Whoever gets offended to bad. Don’t play
Ok hold on. The south africans in angola. You know that the black woman killed their new borns to smuggle ammo and grenades inside them over borders or through south african checkpoints so recruiting children isnt that far from that. And that wasnt because of race. Because even blacks fought with the white south africans. I understand your point but not the same
This games is based, I wanna buy it. Does it play on linux.
Congrats to show the double standards of american games, making justice with the Syrian Warfare franchise. Greetings from Brazil.

So there's nothing offensive about this game, nice title dude
I get this game can be offensive and controversial, but your thumbnail makes it look like you're defending ISIS... pretty bad move considering ISIS are some of the worst people on this planet...
Why is the game possibly offensive? You play as the good guys fighting a pack of reactionary cavemen.
Ah shit. I sound another dead youtuber
Copied from the channel description. " This is a defunct channel. Sadly editing videos was too much work for the very few views I got so I dedicated myself to university study and moved onto other things. By now youtube's algorithm has realised that I was absent for a long time and my channel isn't worth suggesting.
I made most of my videos before my university education and so my research skills weren't very good. Even though I sincerely tried my best to put out quality videos based on facts and evidence, they often fell flat because my lack of a formal education (due to missing years of school) made it very difficult. I was also less confident, didn't look very attractive physically, and so it's embarassing to look back at old videos.
Despite leaving this channel I will always dedicate myself to both education and justice, however this will not be done through youtube but instead local activism, university study, books, articles, and a lot of boring behind the scenes busy work. Thanks for the views :) - Matt "
Wow, great video. I'm a bit late but still good after all the years.
what else race would you use as the enemy army in a game about US VS a middle eastern faction or country? that's like saying it's racist to have a Vietnam war game with the Vietnam solders as Asian. I'm hearing A lot of "WHA WHA WHA MUH BROWN PEOPLE". of course westerners are going to be offended by a game where their country and people are depicted as bad guys and killed. you're telling me the CCP and Chinese wouldn't? and the people of the middle east aren't now? Stop being so offended. I have this game and will enjoy it the same as I do any other game I play shooting any other race from any other country.
This game was awesome absolutely loved it.
Welcome back to UA-cam! This is a great video and here's to you making more again.
I won't call you an SJW, but this is another example of people constantly looking for racisim and blowing things out of proportion. A man calling a woman "woman", is just that. Nothing racist about it.
Braidon Benjamin
The point seems to have flown over your head
I heared some people being mad about that in this game the us are shown making fake news and being a sort of evil, but why is everybody so mad? American games are presenting russians as evil too so i dnt think thats a problem
Damn this channel is to underated
Anyone know where did Matt Florence go?
Overall, its a great strategy game and devs are well known from their days in MiST land(GFI) - Paradise Cracked, Warfare games.
And also Alfa antiterror. Its tbs about spesial taeam alfa. Time afganistan 80-s, chechen wars. Also was add on to this game called man's work.
R.I.P. Matt Florence. He was such a good Marxist-Leninist youtuber, gone too soon...
I ain't dead I'm just busy.
Yes, it's a shame that the dude supporting communism is not spreading the non-sense anymore. :)

Grate video. I wish there were more games like this. Its also very good
Well, in COD you practically kill American Soldiers too (General Shepard men, Shadow Company who are probably a Blackwater mercs ripoff)
This video is too redpilled for the masses
Came for the review, stayed for the propaganda.
You gotta check out Terminator Dark Fate: Defiance if you like this game, because its made by the same devs
Atleast not one where USA goes to rescue. So not a USA propaganda game
9:34
Yeah, but that is not how war works in the modern era. Today a small infantry-unit with a cellphone can do ten times more damage then a WW2 division.
A small infantry unit with a fucking _cellphone_ can be tracked down and routed faster than any WWII division.
Just need one missile guided by cell towers.
(I assume you mean they have CAS, if so then you're still wrong because they need CAS or they're nothing)
This is mostly a political statement, not a game review, and that sucks!
rip lmao
13:20 bla ba is a NATO shill lol
Amazing video
Wait, a mission where your local imam has to talk to isis members to leave?? I think that's friggin brilliant, very interesting and unique in a video game! Now the execution on the other hand could be crap though or it could be good, that's what I'm interested in finding out.
0/10 can't play as the terrorists
Just torrent the game ffs, you can get all the dlc/updates for FREE and NO this game is NOT offensive, all you ever hear about is the rebels pov of the war, and if you had bothered to do your research, this game is based off of an ACTUAL account/story of a SAA soldier/syrian.
I haven’t finished the game yet and had to stop the video at around 7 minutes as it was past where I was in the game.
But from what I’ve seen this is clickbait-y but past that the video in itself is very good to where I’ve stopped
I have just stumbled on this game on Steam and deciding to buy it or not (its on sale atm). And I have to admit, the different perspective has me intrigued.
Most offensive wargames are made about ww2 since it makes entertainment about 54 million people dying. This is not even remotely close to be more offending.
in syria 500k people died and syria need 257B aproximatly to get fixed and there is more then 10 countries and 20 sides fighting.
But there are many games that feature the Iraq and Afghan Wars while they were/still are ongoing! First that comes to mind of course is Medal of Honor 2010.
Okay, now that I've watched the full video.. quite a masterful review!! :D You do humanity honor and I thank you.
This is his last video. Really makes you think, huh?
from what im looking at this revew the story is looking prity realistic
wow what great review of a videogame. I came here because I stumball with this game in the internet and as a RTS consumer was wondering if it has what I'm looking for and... it seems it has! look at the distance and scale of the battle even when in reallity is still "small" it depicts a far more realistic engagement in modern warfare pretty interesting. Also I am a historian and I am surprise of the cuality of this video and your objective point of view in the matters around the game and the hidden motivations of the media. I will not enter in debating about modern politics and reinterpetation of historical topics by todays academic instituions or mass media, but I will in what is concern about the game itself. I think this game is a jewl and has potential I certenly I will give it a try but it seems to me that the developers wanted to move forward from the so boring company of heroes games like to explore modern warfare in the RTS mechanics. We saw some games that have try this with some succes in some points and failures in others( it comes to my mind World in Conflict ) but the sheer scale of contemporary war and the fact that civilians hasn't acces to a cualified knowledge or experience to depict how modern combat is conducted on a Tactical and Strategic level has made that the RTS genre afraid to investigate or explore this posibilities aplied to a videogame or maybe it's something else, I really don't know, but it is clear to my that there are very little games that offer insides as how war is in reality today. Thus, when I see somthing like this game I see it as a bold move from the developer and I have to aplaude boldness. I will try the game and look further into the implemented mechanics and see how it match with what we already can learn about the Syrian war and how combat is depicted in the large volume of recorded documentation and video files. Also your style and focus will certanly make me to visit your channel and see what topics interest me, good job, you already have my like.
Great Game!!
You seem to have your own double standard in this video. Apparently shooting Islamic terrorists in video games is racist because you're killing brown people. But then when you fight alongside brown people in Afghanistan, then that's also bad because it's depicting the Mujahedeen as good guys. Why exactly is it wrong to depict the Mujahedeen as good guys? If you want to argue that the Americans were the bad guys in the Vietnam war, that's ok, but then you also have to agree that the Soviets in Afghanistan were just as bad if not worse. The Soviets would destroy entire villages, and also kidnap women in helicopters to be gang raped. Many historians actually consider it a genocide. At least for Vietnam, the responsibility can be shared between all sides, because the South Vietnamese government, The Americans, the Viet Cong, and the other Communist allies all committed atrocities. And if you love the Viet Cong so much you can go play the multiplayer in Bad Company 2.
Call of Duty also doesn't shy away from having you fight Americans either. In mw2 you fight a rouge American General who's started ww3 for personal gain, and in AW you fight American mercenaries led by Kevin Spacey. Also if you play that Angola mission in Black Ops 2 again and actually pay attention, you'll realize there's plenty of Black people on your side as well, and you also shoot Cubans not just black people, which historically acurate because Cuba and South Africa were involved in the Angolan civil war.
I don't know if you have noticed, but before this game there is a game called Warfare developed by GFI Russia. The two games bear incredible high level of resemblance. Cats who play has been accused of stealing contents from Warfare.

southfront.org/steam-store-removes-syrian-warfare-game-because-its-too-pro-russian/

The side this game takes is unsurprising. Considering Russia's stance on Syria.
good review.. ^^
Regarding your CoD player reference where theyre whinging they know who to shoot based on language and skin colour. That is war, know who your enemy is. Lets hope these wet flannels stay the fuck away from the armed forces.
I think you forgot to review the gameplay - it really looks interesting to me but I have no idea if it actually delivers a fun rts experience.
It's hard, but if you pause the game and think, and are willing to try again, you can do it.
Anyone know what is the music playing in the background from 00:10? Or where it is from? I looked through the OST of this game but it's not from Syrian Warfare.
matt, whats you opinion of jason unruhe
I used to be his biggest fan until he went crazy and started trying to justify 9/11. Definitely NOT the thing to be doing in an age when Islamist terrorism is used as a weapon by imperialism to sabotage underdeveloped nations!
He also made a facebook post mocking the death of a young British woman called Anna Campbell who had joined the YPG to defend Syria from ISIS, she was killed when Turkey invaded. She was a heroic and brave woman who had sacrificed her life to defend Syria from terrorism, so when I saw Jason's post it made by blood boil!!!!! When I confronted him he asked me if I was "fuc**** reta****".
It's not 2010 anymore, there are dozens of socialist channels hundreds of times better than Unruhe's, my favourites are ContraPoints, Philosophy Tube, Jimmy Dore, Russell Bentley, Three Arrows, HBomberGuy, Caleb Maupin, BoyBoy, Marcel Cartier and William Whiteman.
@@The10000league All of those are literally grifting gay "socialists" who have a hate boner for Elon Musk while shilling for corporate entities like Burger King. At least folks like Jason were unique. Those hacks just hide their funds to appear like anti-establishment underdogs.

I just returned to this vedio to ask if you have seen the new COD game trailer?
It shown some parts that are in Syria
I would like to see the people who spoke ill of this game to start saying the same about the new COD
I loved Syrian War. I hope more games with similar theme will be released in future!
Bought this game because I heard it was "Russian Propganda but the best modern day RTS"
Turns out for Propaganda but one of the better modern day RTS game
Thank you for review. Grate video.
Just found you and saw that the video is 2 years old. Hopefully you don't stop yt for good, looking forward foemr more videos.

This game is great to play so far (i'm on the 3rd mission) however the voice acting sould have been in arabic with subtitles as its awful. Also the SAA uniforms are incorrect.
Reminds me of Men of War a lot, really good game.
remind me of the first one i played.
not sure about the other games, i can't remember if it was a thing, but being able to capture ennemy equipments, and conserve them throught the whole campaign, is one of the most amazing thing i loved about it, and can't wait to see into this game when i get my hands on it.
Be sure i'll look for the perfect way to steal all them MG jeeps and possibly tanks.

I dont think germany, japan, russia and debatably Korea are poor and and underdeveloped ._.
Iranian are not arabs, but pro-american games lumps them as the same so I'll give you a pass for that.
Game is great itself, no metter of some bugs. I wish this male with funny haircut played only computer games... Also, music grat!
