Can you please turn on the game subtitles ? Would be nice to show love to non-english speakers who might misunderstand some words just from hearing them. Also, the subtitles are quite relevant during the betrayal scenes
I read some character bio’s and I finally figured out how Soap got his nickname. It’s because in training he cleared the course where you sweep through a house for hostiles in record time, people he was training with started calling him “Soap” for how quickly and effectively he “Cleaned house”.
That's motion tracking and performance as the cutscenes are all prerendered by a different studio and made with models designed and rigged for the cutscenes
17:30 if you have subtitles on, the Blue indicating "friendly" on Grave's changes to red like the enemies. Cool detail. Also happens with Shepard later.
I love how with Shepards section, his name is in yellow because the characters are unsure if he's friend or foe but after price mentions Graves, it confirms that he's bad
Couple things I thought to bring up 1: the "casual racism" ain't really racism, the police see cartel with body armor and military guns and they see Mexican special forces, it's hard to tell apart since both look like a threat 2: I thought you'd win Rodolfo calling out plans before they got burned in the house 3: am I the only one who thought of the Raul from New Vegas when Alejandro said "Vaqueros"? 4: little attention to detail if you have subtitles on when Graves said "general Shepard gives his regards" his name turns red
Yep, I can for sure agree with #1 as a Mexican. You can look up documentaries where journalists enter cartel operations and plenty of those boys are indistinguishable from proper soldiers, which as Valeria points out, plenty of them do have a military background.
The term "casual racism" is illegitimate. Nevertheless, this is not "racism".This is standard police doctrine. Anyone armed in body armor can be a threat. Pretending that's "racism" is a flaw of our society.
@@prismatic3695 You can actually tell apart a Cartel member and a Mexican soldier: their footwear. Cartel members have comfy and hedonistic lives, so they wear sneakers; while Mexican soldiers have followed regimented life, so they wear military boots. Is even a meme here on Mexico.
Bought this game for the campaign and definitely didn’t regret it. The sniping mission and the fact that the final mission was set in my home city were my favorite parts
@@Unknown_Genius I mean you technically have to jumper ober the car to get it, but yea it is well lit. Also a bummer to not see the Deagle or Crossbow from the Safes.
You know throughout the game I think they did a good job of making Graves seem like he does care about 141. Not that you wouldn’t be suspicious of him being from Shadow company but it’s still a nice change of pace.
I think thats the thing, he does/did care about 141 which is why he tried to get them to walk away first before resorting to shooting. He just chose his job and old loyalties over new loyalties.
@@titytitmk2738 See, this always annoyed me. Graves is one hell of a character......and then he just flips a switch and has no problems with killing civis? Hell, Shadow Company as a whole suffers from this. Sure, there Mercs, but the least they could've done is make is make Graves and Shadow Company more suspicious throughout the whole game. Shepherds betrayal made slight sense and was excpected, but Graves went from a charismatic Merc to a mustache twirling villian. At least Shadow Siege and MWlll somewhat redeemed him, mainly MWlll and the line "3 things you can't outrun in this world folks. Death, Taxes, and Me."
21:34 i know this is a dumb thing for me to point out but, i love the fact that you can actually hear the clicks that the car is doing in this moment, indicating that she's uses the turn signals for the turn like, yea they could've just used a normal car sound while she talked, but i love how they actually included this little detail that most people wont even notice untill you pay more attention
I also really like that even though it’s an operation to stop a missile but it kind of gave us a taste of what people who don’t know what’s happening just going about their lives
Really hoping Roach shows up. Maybe they could make him someone that’s known not just Ghost but the man beneath the mask ‘Simon’ the longest and he’s the only person that Ghost fully trusts. This idea is mainly from what I’ve read about the original MW2 Ghost and Roach. From things I’ve read over the years, I learned that they were the best of buds that went through everything together, I think I even read somewhere that Roach used to have a really bad drinking habit to where he became heavily addicted to alcohol and when they were both on leave Ghost took it upon himself to help his best mate kick the habit. I’m uncertain if this is canon or not, but I like to believe so. Another thing I’ve read is Gary Sanderson aka Roach got his nickname because he was put in several bad situations that he had absolutely no business surviving on so many occasions that his team started calling him ‘Roach’ because the hard bastard just couldn’t die.
Roach, Ghost, and soap’s names all mean something like that. Roach (like a roach) is extremely difficult to kill unless you squash it. Ghost is called ghost because you can’t kill a ghost. And soap is soap because he’s slippery. Always slipping out of life threatening situations
@@Deathmare235 I found out that Soap got his nickname from his fellow trainees. He cleared the training course where you sweep through buildings for hostiles in record time. He was nicknamed ‘Soap’ for how quickly and efficiently he “Cleaned House”.
i love how they made Alejandro into such a classic character and i hope they do more with the characters they’ve introduced in the 2 new modern warfare games
One thing I love about MWII's campaign is the way certain bits kind of function as diegetic tutorials for other parts of the game. The convoy mission showcases the vehicle mechanics in Warzone, and "Alone" is basically just a twenty minute tutorial for DMZ mode, but they're done in a way where you don't even realize that's what happening, but still get all the knowledge that a tutorial should provide. It's really well done.
@@RRai2000 Firstly, is "How dare someone like something I don't like" really the stance you want to take? And secondly, I didn't actually say I liked the mission. It's by far my least favorite in the game since it goes on way too long. But it _does_ do a good job introducing vehicle mechanics, and I will give it credit for that.
I really liked Valeria, she has some serious sass. The actor nailed the performance. Also, in the survival mission there is a bunch of stuff to find, for instance at 19:25 if you don't just jump off the balcony there is a safe with a suppressed Deagle if you can figure out the code, and plenty of supplies if you utilize the crafting mechanic. Really enjoyed that exploration can make your life easier. Edit: Really liked the gameplay on this one. The story wasn't great but the variety in the missions and gameplay, one of the best COD campaigns in my books.
A detail you missed is during the whole Shepard Betrayal part is if you have Subtitles on, Graves name changes from the friendly blue color to enemy red colors! Same thing happens later, when Price speaks with Shepard and his name is Yellow which makes it show that its uncertain if he's friend or foe, before it turns to red. Really great detail to always see!
The Alone mission really did it for me because when you listen to the Shadows during the Alone mission you learn that most of them are only going along with it out of loyalty to Graves/Graves signing their paychecks, and not because they actually wanna betray 141 and Los Vaqueros. And the Hindsight mission actually made me feel for Graves a little because he was begging Shepherd to save his men and Shepherd sacrificed them for absolutely nothing- :(
Something I thought about while playing the Alone mission was Reznov’s words in the Vendetta mission in World at War. Specifically “for days, I have crept through shadows like a rat” and “now the game is cat and mouse”. Just something about that mission that I enjoyed
One of my favorite references to the original MW trilogy is at the end when the missile is en route to DC and Laswell says "Shepherd has been evacuated" and Price screams out "WELL 30,000 HAVEN'T!"
That mission where you are building stuff after Graves betrayed you, you can find a bunch of stuff that you would not be able to get without exploring there is also an adrenaline stim you can find if you have a pry tool. Graves was my favorite side character in this game before he betrayed the squad
Did Graves really betray them though? I'd say that finding out the cartel being run by Mexican Special Forces would compromise Los Vaqueros, so Shepherd ordering Graves to take over their base and detain them makes sense, and Graves was gonna let them walk until Alejandro popped off and shanked his boy.
Dude I couldn’t imagine going through the whole “Alone” mission without getting the adrenaline stim. Respect my man. Also that mission surprisingly isn’t too hard on veteran, as long as you get the stim lol
As someone who's decided to put myself through this game in realism, this game isn't the hardest CoD but definitely the scariest. "Alone" was wildy scarier in realism and much more difficult but the hardest campaign still goes to WaW.
21:52 YES, I LOVE the Shattered theme from Clone Wars, reminded me of BR so much, I was really bummed when I learned that specific track wasn't officially released
this is almost 23 minutes of progressively more intense cute aggression for the blood hardened veterans we all know and love and i am frankly HERE for it "aw hes PRETTY"
Soap’s call sign to my knowledge is not explained in the OG games but is in the reboots so here you go: When Soap was finally able to enlist he got evaluated by John Price, who became harder and stricter on him in order to make him the best trainee. Soap became a sniper and demolitions expert as well. His remarkable speed and accuracy in room clearance and urban warfare earned him the call sign of Soap.
6:30 I mean, TBF, both the Mexican SF and Cartel were wearing tactical gear over casual getups, so it would understandably be kind of hard to differentiate the two.
@@alexandradominguez7305 he was probably trying to apologize for holding them up and pointing out the fog of war effect of not knowing friend from foe in that environment since they dress the same but the sheriff recognized there faces honestly it was stupid to not wear clothes that tell them apart from the cartels like urban camouflage
@@alexandradominguez7305 I think that you're not looking at this matter factually, instead you're looking at it emotionally. The cartel dress the EXACT same way these dudes dress. I understand your point of view, but I don't think it's applicable. I'm sure they were trying to go the racist route in the game, but instead they honestly hit the nail on the head. It is hard to tell them apart.
one thing that i love is when graves say sheperd already knows about it all his name on subtitles changes from blue (friendly) to red (evil/bad). Honestly the attention to detail in this game is insane
This campaign was my favorite COD story since Black Ops 2. I can't remember the last time I was dying to finish a story in that wasn't some 100+ hour RPG, but I felt like my skin was on fire everyday at work, waiting to get home and see what other twists or action moments I'd get to see. Infinity Ward knocked it out of the park with this one and I am beyond excited for MW3.
I don’t know how true this is, I swear I’ve heard this line said by Alejandro while watching gameplay. Alejandro says that his family is at a safe house so they can’t be used against him. Alejandro later gives the locations to a safe house to Ghost, where they find Rudolfo already there. Alejandro considers Rudolfo family.
The new Shepard is modelled off glenn morshower (who frequently plays military generals in tv and film ) but he was also in the original MW2 as the voice of overlord. So add that as another win.
My favorite things abt this campaign: In Recon by Fire, if you kill all of the enemies in the begin, you can unlock new dialouges and get to know how Price and Laswell met. In Violence and Timing, you can drive civilian vans and cars as well as the AQ vehicles. Driving the 5 types gets you sn achievement called Test Drive in the PS4(idk about other consoles). In El Sin Nombre, Valeria's postition changes if you do the mission a variety of ways. For example, if you are stealthy, she sits in her chair relaxed. If you alert everyone and kill Diego, she will be walking around tensed while one of the guards yell for them to leave. In Dark Water, you can pass the mission without touching the deck(only jumping oh the shipping containers). Felt like the Floor is Lava. In Alone, if you go straight to the first room where you get the metal and rope without checking if the other door is unlocked, Ghost mentions that they aren't friends(he says its not in the rulebook) and just teammates. Also, in Alone, you can hear some banter between Shadows. When you first learn about bottles, two Shadows talk about fighting 141. In the tunnel, they argue about whether Soap is Irish or Scottish. In Alone, right at the beginning you can kind of hear the worry in Ghosts voice when Soap does not answer. When he does, you can also hear his relief. Lastly, in Countdown, before you rappel if you hit Price with a flashbang, he will yell "How'd a muppet like you pass selection?" Which is like a callback to COD 4.
I love how this channel is the positives instead of negatives It does make me wonder why Alex wasn’t in this game, kinda annoyed me, I really hope my boy Yuri is in MW3, probably my favorite character in modern warfare series
@@Deathmare235 Ghost was the one who saved Soap If he hadn't told him to run while Graves went dark, Soap would've been shot after being shot in the arm
This game is a great game, along with excellent visuals and a good narrative storyline. However, the storyline of the OG Modern Warfare 2, especially when Shepherd betrays TF 141, and Shadow Company assists Shepherd, is actually more emotionally impactful as compared to that of this game. In the OG MW2 game, Shepherd's betrayal came from a mixture of a "feeling of betrayal" (that 30,000 soldiers of his command were killed and the world did not react), and a desire for revenge against his country (for the 30,000 lives lost). There is more emotion in that backstory as compared to the "I messed up and want to cover my arse" storyline. Also, in the OG game, Shadow Company's loyalty to Shepherd also made more sense, because Shepherd was given a "blank Cheque" with which he could pay off Shadow Company to kill coalition soldiers secretly. Here, with the more generic backdrop, there is no way in hell that Shepherd could make that bargain for Shadow Company to turn on their own allies without question, as Congress could pull the funding looking at the carnage that they made in Mexico.
I would love to see how Gamingwins would defend the abomination that is "Modern Warfare III (2023)". It is just a blot on the storyline of the "Modern Warfare" Franchise.
Give a whole 10 extra wins for the STELLAR facial animations throughout this game. Because they poured so much energy into it, we got tons of tiny details, my favorite being during Soap's interrogation. Valeria accepts all of the final answers, however, if you choose to tell her that Graves wants El Sin Nombre, this is the only option where she smirks VERY subtly, hinting at the fact that she IS El Sin Nombre.
@@DrKElite243 which would make sense, as annoyed as I’d be. Roaches are very hard to kill, after all, however I want a new guy to be roach. A new newbie that replaces the newbie slot soap currently fills
@@DrKElite243 that wouldn’t make sense since he’s an ex CIA agent close to a Russian aligned rebel group Roach could’ve served on the same unit as mace and Ghost though
You also forgot Soaps and Ghost funny dialogue, when Soap asked why Ghost uses a mask. Soap "Are you ugly" Ghost "Quite the opposite" Soap "I doubt that"
MW2 2022 is probably the most enjoyable cod I’ve played in awhile. I love the newer modern warfare campaigns due to their realism and thus game added so much character to the cast. I love it
Something i like especially about these games from the OG series is the Mentor and Mentee theme within them. Alex was a hard bastard with no one to give him a choice, Farrah gave him the chance to choose for himself and he chose his friend over his duty. Even in the WZ1 story, he chose his friends over anything else. In MWI, Gaz was an agent wanting to end the conflict and Price showed him that getting there isn't pretty. In MWII it's come to the point that Gaz is learning how to be like Price, and it shows. Then there's Ghost and Soap who at the beginning Soap is more carefree and green and ready to do the morally right thing while Ghost is an even harder bastard than Alex who is "by the books lone wolf," but they both mentor each other to the point that Soap learns to survive alone by his wit and Ghost learns the importance of a Team. It's almost beautiful how they took characters who were known simply as Badass Soldiers trained for everything and made them more human through this one change to grow off of each other.
Ghost and Soap really wasn’t a mentor relationship hell same with Alex and Farah I guess she was her “CO” but it was unofficial and the only “mentoring” she did was give orders
I worked on the QA for this game. I'm super proud to have been a part of it. Sorry about any bugs you come across y'all. I'll tell you that the game used to be much worse at the start and is much more stable and better to play.
You’re proud for making a piece of shit game? That the company charged more for than any other release and the game couldn’t even play the campaign without crashing? You should be fired if you’re a “qa” team member you failed.@
The great thing about the reboot is that they don’t just kill off characters for the sake of drama, they can actually have a damn character growth now. Going from Captain McTavish and Sgt Ghost to Sgt Soap and Lt Ghost is such a good decision for interactions.
9:39 There was again one fun line in Close Air, when Ghost would get shot in the plate and says "Good thing your aim isn't shite like theirs!" "(giggle) Roger that, 0-7" if the player's shots were on point
Graves is an amazing character he is charismatic and is a true leader as you can hear the desperation in his voice when the shadow company convoy gets ambushed and he gave shadow company character and it shows they weren’t just mindless mercs and him and shadow company doesn’t deserve the hate just because of the betrayal (that 141 caused fight me) it goes to show they are such a good villain also wished they were the good guys for at least 1 full game this also helps shepherds character as they go hand in hand and how shepherd wasn’t a evil character and was trying to do the right thing he just went about in the wrong way and this duo between shadow company and shepherd is one of the best if not the best duo in the COD franchise and I hope we see a lot more of them in MW3 and one final thing about graves is that his boss battle was lacklustre so I really hope they just say he wasn’t in the tank and bring him back in MW3 as he was my favourite character in the game and is one of the best in the franchise
maybe an "Everything GREAT About" about spec ops the line? i really like your style of hyping up games i already hyped myself up about and i would love to see you make a video about that gem of a game.
yesss I beat the campaign just last night, seeing this pop up I was excited to relive the parts I enjoyed. It really felt like a "the greatest hits from the OG MW games" but wasn't bad for it, I loved the mission where you jump from car to car and the way all the ghost masks looked on the table looked amazing to me, not just because they are an iconic mask but it just looked so real
Someone probably said it already but if you have subtitles on when graves says 'Shepard sends his regards' his name turns from blue to red. Pretty neat detail i my opinion
Over all plot wasn't the most groundbreaking, but holy shit the character interactions and gameplay were so freaking good. The game had me hooked the whole way
“Have you ever shot with a high powered scope and realized how hard it actually is?” Yes. I do distance shooting, and soooo many people think it’s a walk in the park because of video games.
I have to point this out because I found this out recently. This same actor/VA for General Shepherd also played one of the interrogators in Battlefield 3's Campaign. It's a trip seeing him of all people when revisiting BF3 after all these years.
I do wanna say that I love the mechanics in Alone. I know it's a little experimental but personally I found them very fitting and very fun. I am a survival horror nut so I fit into the mold very well. I liked finding resources and using bottles to draw the Shadow's attention away from injured Soap. Along with how the guns felt different with Soap's injury (since I took forever to even get the adrenaline thing) really made me feel good. Idk about it being brought to the end of the game, but it was pretty fun to work with while I had it. Just a fun campaign overall for me Oh and I love the detail of Shadow's worrying about Soap, and more so Ghost's locations. I listened to one talk about how freaked out he was of Ghost for so long that I forgot what I was doing and got shot. Really near dialogue that I wish more of the enemies had in other sections of the game.
17:32 It wasn't pointed out in the video, but if you play with subtitles on Graves' name will change from Friendly to Enemy (blue to red by default). It's a nice touch that could have been overlooked by just making his subtitle name red at the start of the cutscene.
The thing I love most abt this game is the attention to detail cus we find out how Soap earned his nickname in multiplayer by reading his bio - cool shit iw👏👏👏
Here’s also good attention to detail is if have subtitles on when graves said “General Shepherd sands his regards,” it turns red and when Price and Shepherd are talking his sub is yellow indicating not not knowing where his alliances until he said he’s a dog with a bone and then it turns red
Not to be too pedantic here, but he says "Sends his regards". At least I hope that's what the subtitles say as that is what he says and makes sense in the context.
Love the video simply because your charisma, energy and love for the game (all games tbf) drive it. My ONLY issue is that the subtitles don't sync up with the voice on occasion. Could prolly do with an an extra pair of eyes in that regard. Otherwise, like all your other vids, loved it
at least 1 or two more wins, because you can stealth all the way to the lighthouse in the sniper mission, and also stealth all the way to the church in mexico. Excellent video m8 and keep it coming
I absolutely LOVED the campaign. Proximity chat on Warzone has made the experience sooooo much more entertaining for me. Multiplayer is solid. I love this game!
I watched a BigPuffer/Blarg video on the new warzone, they went to a place and a squad was just going "Wooooooo" like ghosts, and it was funny as fuck haha
3:57 this actually makes a lot of sense because with a set of nods on you’re most likely not gonna be able to aim down irons, unless you had a sight with a higher height over bore
A sequel to a reboot of a franchise that is chockfull of easter eggs from the og games. Oil rigs, the name "Soap", "Do NOT fire on the church", All Ghillied Up, and my favorite "Since when the hell did Shepherd ever care about danger close?"
I know this video is 2 months old and I’m probably not the first to say this, but if you have subtitles on, you can see Grave’s name change from friendly, to yellow (not sure if he’s an ally), to red (meaning he’s hostile.) the same happens with Shepherd’s name near the end. Just that attention to detail Activision puts into the game. Also, love your channel, mate
Another win which could have been implemented was the controller mapped missile hacking tool seen at 16:57 and 22:23. I found it super engaging where the button prompts were corresponding to the buttons you would often use during combat and a little detail I noticed while watching was the colour coordination, I play on an Xbox so I didn't think twice about the colours of the buttons Green (A) Red (B) Blue (X) and Yellow (Y) but to see them the same even on PlayStation Green (Cross) Red (Circle) Blue (Square) and Yellow (Triangle) (as seen by the symbols of the button prompts) I believe is a nice bit of unity across the platforms
17:30 My favorite detail about Graves’ betrayal is in the subtitles. If you have them on, his name turns red as soon as he mentions Shepherd. He goes from friend to enemy just that quickly.
Some cartels can often look even better than the Mexican army, and even have guns bought/stolen from H&K or American government organizations like the ATF.
I know it’s not going to happen, but it would be great if they got Makarov’s original actor back for his reappearance, the absolute soullessness that he projected was unrivaled!
19:06 this is unintentionally my favorite moment of the game. Just the way soap say “it’s raining fucking hard” just make me laugh all the time. He’s like a British person when you ask them to do an American accent
It’s crazy how technically this game might be the first cod game with story dlc. And tbh I like that, the characters and story was so well done with this game I want more from this. So if they do do cod campaign dlc next year I’d be on board 100%
to be honest I like what they do here we got 4 Main Anime Protagonist here Captain Price - Leader Protagonist Gaz - the Good Moral Protagonist Soap - the Funny Guy Protagonist and also Ghost - the Edge Lord Protagonist God I love this game CoD MW 2 (2022) and God of War: Ragnarok makes me think 2022 is one of the Best Year for Gamer (personal Opinion only)
Interestingly, my biggest issues with this game was the exclusion of Al Asad, Roach, Delta force, Badger two one, and the Zakhaevs; Imran and Viktor. In fact, the 4 Horsemen should’ve been the overarching villains of the new series. Following the deaths of The Wolf, the Butcher and Hadir. First we deal with Al Asad, then Viktor, then Makarov; either surviving or being arrested, and then we go after Imran himself only for the end scene to be revealed that Makarov is back. Even having Iran and the cartel be allies with the 4 horsemen and have people like Laswell, Vargas, and Farah be killed to raise stakes.
Oh mate, come on, you suppressed my absolute favourite bit of this game... everyone meeting with Price at the top of the wall, getting into the getaway vehicles, Price saying "The truth" and then the soundtrack at the beginning of "Hindsight" mission... it's so absolutelly gloomy and inspired... I'd love to hear yer reaction to that.
Fun fact about the ‘general shepherd sends his regards’ line. If you have your subtitles on, at that moment, graves’ nameplate turns red, signifying he is now your enemy

I read some character bio’s and I finally figured out how Soap got his nickname.
It’s because in training he cleared the course where you sweep through a house for hostiles in record time, people he was training with started calling him “Soap” for how quickly and effectively he “Cleaned house”.
Interesting
So, the 15 sec clear from OG COD4 is canon in this world?
@@RedDrake110 well the FNG still got the record this time it was Gaz that did it (maybe it says the times in the bio)
I always thought it was because whenever he has an operation he leaves it clean/leaves no trace but the fact it came from training I like better
That’s cute lmao I like that
What I find so impressive about this game is the quality of the facial animations in the cutscenes. Makes it feels so unique!
this was done 4 years ago lmao. Motion tracking/performance in RDR2.

17:30 if you have subtitles on, the Blue indicating "friendly" on Grave's changes to red like the enemies. Cool detail. Also happens with Shepard later.
I love how with Shepards section, his name is in yellow because the characters are unsure if he's friend or foe but after price mentions Graves, it confirms that he's bad
I don't trust anyone that doesn't use subtitles
they did the same withing in the cold war campaign if you betray adler, which was neat to see repeated here
You must be 9 years old if you think that's cool.
@@prezidenttrump5171 why do you hate fun
Couple things I thought to bring up

2: I thought you'd win Rodolfo calling out plans before they got burned in the house
3: am I the only one who thought of the Raul from New Vegas when Alejandro said "Vaqueros"?
4: little attention to detail if you have subtitles on when Graves said "general Shepard gives his regards" his name turns red

Still sucks that he betrayed them literally came out of nowhere
I think thats the thing, he does/did care about 141 which is why he tried to get them to walk away first before resorting to shooting.
He just chose his job and old loyalties over new loyalties.

I noticed. Maybe because I find people who do not use turn signals absolutely irritating.
I also really like that even though it’s an operation to stop a missile but it kind of gave us a taste of what people who don’t know what’s happening just going about their lives
Really hoping Roach shows up.
Maybe they could make him someone that’s known not just Ghost but the man beneath the mask ‘Simon’ the longest and he’s the only person that Ghost fully trusts.
This idea is mainly from what I’ve read about the original MW2 Ghost and Roach.
From things I’ve read over the years, I learned that they were the best of buds that went through everything together, I think I even read somewhere that Roach used to have a really bad drinking habit to where he became heavily addicted to alcohol and when they were both on leave Ghost took it upon himself to help his best mate kick the habit.
I’m uncertain if this is canon or not, but I like to believe so.
Another thing I’ve read is Gary Sanderson aka Roach got his nickname because he was put in several bad situations that he had absolutely no business surviving on so many occasions that his team started calling him ‘Roach’ because the hard bastard just couldn’t die.
Considering how actual roaches are some of the hardest bastards nature has given us, that makes sense..
Here's hoping MW3 brings roach in
Imagine if he was on the same unit as Mace and Ghost
Roach, Ghost, and soap’s names all mean something like that. Roach (like a roach) is extremely difficult to kill unless you squash it. Ghost is called ghost because you can’t kill a ghost. And soap is soap because he’s slippery. Always slipping out of life threatening situations
@@krillin2699 none of those are true maybe Roach but Soap’s and Ghost’s are confirmed
@@Deathmare235
I found out that Soap got his nickname from his fellow trainees.
He cleared the training course where you sweep through buildings for hostiles in record time.
He was nicknamed ‘Soap’ for how quickly and efficiently he “Cleaned House”.
i love how they made Alejandro into such a classic character and i hope they do more with the characters they’ve introduced in the 2 new modern warfare games
He better join the 141
One thing I love about MWII's campaign is the way certain bits kind of function as diegetic tutorials for other parts of the game. The convoy mission showcases the vehicle mechanics in Warzone, and "Alone" is basically just a twenty minute tutorial for DMZ mode, but they're done in a way where you don't even realize that's what happening, but still get all the knowledge that a tutorial should provide. It's really well done.
"Alone" is far from a DMZ tutorial.
@@RRai2000 Firstly, is "How dare someone like something I don't like" really the stance you want to take?
And secondly, I didn't actually say I liked the mission. It's by far my least favorite in the game since it goes on way too long. But it _does_ do a good job introducing vehicle mechanics, and I will give it credit for that.
@@ClonedGamer001 Sorry I asked
Damn, I definitely clocked onto the vehicle tutorial but I didn’t realise how much those missions ended up playing out like DMZ runs! Good spot!
I really liked Valeria, she has some serious sass. The actor nailed the performance.
Also, in the survival mission there is a bunch of stuff to find, for instance at 19:25 if you don't just jump off the balcony there is a safe with a suppressed Deagle if you can figure out the code, and plenty of supplies if you utilize the crafting mechanic. Really enjoyed that exploration can make your life easier.
Edit: Really liked the gameplay on this one. The story wasn't great but the variety in the missions and gameplay, one of the best COD campaigns in my books.
Valeria sucked
I only live for mommy valeria
How do you even follow up with a character like that basically there for exposition
Yeah, Valeria did have some series ass
I have no regrets in playing this Modern Warfare 2’s campaign. I like the characters a lot, and the new version of Ghost became my favorite.
A detail you missed is during the whole Shepard Betrayal part is if you have Subtitles on, Graves name changes from the friendly blue color to enemy red colors!
Same thing happens later, when Price speaks with Shepard and his name is Yellow which makes it show that its uncertain if he's friend or foe, before it turns to red.
Really great detail to always see!
Its a feature they had for a while
The Alone mission really did it for me because when you listen to the Shadows during the Alone mission you learn that most of them are only going along with it out of loyalty to Graves/Graves signing their paychecks, and not because they actually wanna betray 141 and Los Vaqueros. And the Hindsight mission actually made me feel for Graves a little because he was begging Shepherd to save his men and Shepherd sacrificed them for absolutely nothing- :(
Something I thought about while playing the Alone mission was Reznov’s words in the Vendetta mission in World at War. Specifically “for days, I have crept through shadows like a rat” and “now the game is cat and mouse”. Just something about that mission that I enjoyed
One of my favorite references to the original MW trilogy is at the end when the missile is en route to DC and Laswell says "Shepherd has been evacuated" and Price screams out "WELL 30,000 HAVEN'T!"
That mission where you are building stuff after Graves betrayed you, you can find a bunch of stuff that you would not be able to get without exploring there is also an adrenaline stim you can find if you have a pry tool. Graves was my favorite side character in this game before he betrayed the squad
Then it goes to show you don’t appreciate the character of graves
Did Graves really betray them though? I'd say that finding out the cartel being run by Mexican Special Forces would compromise Los Vaqueros, so Shepherd ordering Graves to take over their base and detain them makes sense, and Graves was gonna let them walk until Alejandro popped off and shanked his boy.
Dude I couldn’t imagine going through the whole “Alone” mission without getting the adrenaline stim. Respect my man.
Also that mission surprisingly isn’t too hard on veteran, as long as you get the stim lol
As someone who's decided to put myself through this game in realism, this game isn't the hardest CoD but definitely the scariest. "Alone" was wildy scarier in realism and much more difficult but the hardest campaign still goes to WaW.
21:52 YES, I LOVE the Shattered theme from Clone Wars, reminded me of BR so much, I was really bummed when I learned that specific track wasn't officially released
this is almost 23 minutes of progressively more intense cute aggression for the blood hardened veterans we all know and love and i am frankly HERE for it
"aw hes PRETTY"
to be fair, that was also my first reaction to seeing Soap. He is indeed so pretty
can you really blame him? Soap is very pretty.
If you have subtitles on, Graves dialog turns from blue to red, showing he became an enemy. Love that attention to detail.
22:10 if you listen closely, the music that plays here is exactly the same as when you're in the astronaut's POV in the OG MW2 as the EMP goes off
Soap’s call sign to my knowledge is not explained in the OG games but is in the reboots so here you go:
When Soap was finally able to enlist he got evaluated by John Price, who became harder and stricter on him in order to make him the best trainee. Soap became a sniper and demolitions expert as well. His remarkable speed and accuracy in room clearance and urban warfare earned him the call sign of Soap.
6:30 I mean, TBF, both the Mexican SF and Cartel were wearing tactical gear over casual getups, so it would understandably be kind of hard to differentiate the two.
that’s not rlly an excuse for him to say that tho so i’d still consider it casual racism
@@alexandradominguez7305 he was probably trying to apologize for holding them up and pointing out the fog of war effect of not knowing friend from foe in that environment since they dress the same but the sheriff recognized there faces honestly it was stupid to not wear clothes that tell them apart from the cartels like urban camouflage
@@isaiahroney4591 well then that brings out the question of would he have said that if alejandro and rudy were white don’t u think?
@@alexandradominguez7305 I think that you're not looking at this matter factually, instead you're looking at it emotionally. The cartel dress the EXACT same way these dudes dress. I understand your point of view, but I don't think it's applicable. I'm sure they were trying to go the racist route in the game, but instead they honestly hit the nail on the head. It is hard to tell them apart.
@@alexandradominguez7305 they’ll probably think it’s the army if they were white
one thing that i love is when graves say sheperd already knows about it all his name on subtitles changes from blue (friendly) to red (evil/bad). Honestly the attention to detail in this game is insane
This campaign was my favorite COD story since Black Ops 2. I can't remember the last time I was dying to finish a story in that wasn't some 100+ hour RPG, but I felt like my skin was on fire everyday at work, waiting to get home and see what other twists or action moments I'd get to see. Infinity Ward knocked it out of the park with this one and I am beyond excited for MW3.
I don’t know how true this is, I swear I’ve heard this line said by Alejandro while watching gameplay. Alejandro says that his family is at a safe house so they can’t be used against him.
Alejandro later gives the locations to a safe house to Ghost, where they find Rudolfo already there.
Alejandro considers Rudolfo family.
The new Shepard is modelled off glenn morshower (who frequently plays military generals in tv and film ) but he was also in the original MW2 as the voice of overlord. So add that as another win.
My favorite things abt this campaign:
In Recon by Fire, if you kill all of the enemies in the begin, you can unlock new dialouges and get to know how Price and Laswell met.
In Violence and Timing, you can drive civilian vans and cars as well as the AQ vehicles. Driving the 5 types gets you sn achievement called Test Drive in the PS4(idk about other consoles).
In El Sin Nombre, Valeria's postition changes if you do the mission a variety of ways. For example, if you are stealthy, she sits in her chair relaxed. If you alert everyone and kill Diego, she will be walking around tensed while one of the guards yell for them to leave.
In Dark Water, you can pass the mission without touching the deck(only jumping oh the shipping containers). Felt like the Floor is Lava.
In Alone, if you go straight to the first room where you get the metal and rope without checking if the other door is unlocked, Ghost mentions that they aren't friends(he says its not in the rulebook) and just teammates.
Also, in Alone, you can hear some banter between Shadows. When you first learn about bottles, two Shadows talk about fighting 141. In the tunnel, they argue about whether Soap is Irish or Scottish.
In Alone, right at the beginning you can kind of hear the worry in Ghosts voice when Soap does not answer. When he does, you can also hear his relief.
Lastly, in Countdown, before you rappel if you hit Price with a flashbang, he will yell "How'd a muppet like you pass selection?" Which is like a callback to COD 4.
I love how this channel is the positives instead of negatives
It does make me wonder why Alex wasn’t in this game, kinda annoyed me, I really hope my boy Yuri is in MW3, probably my favorite character in modern warfare series
"Because liking things is more fun than not liking things"
@@adamhoward1408 true.
Ghost taking care of Soap rather than the other way around is actually cute when you think about it
Wasn’t soap taking care of ghost I mean he saved him from shadow
@@Deathmare235
Ghost was the one who saved Soap
If he hadn't told him to run while Graves went dark, Soap would've been shot after being shot in the arm
This game is a great game, along with excellent visuals and a good narrative storyline. However, the storyline of the OG Modern Warfare 2, especially when Shepherd betrays TF 141, and Shadow Company assists Shepherd, is actually more emotionally impactful as compared to that of this game.
In the OG MW2 game, Shepherd's betrayal came from a mixture of a "feeling of betrayal" (that 30,000 soldiers of his command were killed and the world did not react), and a desire for revenge against his country (for the 30,000 lives lost). There is more emotion in that backstory as compared to the "I messed up and want to cover my arse" storyline.
Also, in the OG game, Shadow Company's loyalty to Shepherd also made more sense, because Shepherd was given a "blank Cheque" with which he could pay off Shadow Company to kill coalition soldiers secretly. Here, with the more generic backdrop, there is no way in hell that Shepherd could make that bargain for Shadow Company to turn on their own allies without question, as Congress could pull the funding looking at the carnage that they made in Mexico.
I would love to see how Gamingwins would defend the abomination that is "Modern Warfare III (2023)". It is just a blot on the storyline of the "Modern Warfare" Franchise.
bro the 3d printed pistol at the end just sends chills up my spine
In a world with a lot of negativity, I'm glad that a channel like yours exists. Thank you for finding the good in things!
Oh, no, the spam bots are here too. To anyone who doesn't know, or isn't aware, the comment above this one is a scammer, do not respond to it
Give a whole 10 extra wins for the STELLAR facial animations throughout this game. Because they poured so much energy into it, we got tons of tiny details, my favorite being during Soap's interrogation. Valeria accepts all of the final answers, however, if you choose to tell her that Graves wants El Sin Nombre, this is the only option where she smirks VERY subtly, hinting at the fact that she IS El Sin Nombre.
Graves is voiced by Warren Kole who ALSO voiced Rafe Adler from Uncharted 4! He has a forte in playing antagonists and I love him!
This gamingwins would be so disappointed in mw3
Yeah he is
I kinda miss Roach, he was a real one, now he needs an unique model and a voice, but I really missed him
I have a feeling they’re gonna bring Alex in as the new roach
@@DrKElite243 which would make sense, as annoyed as I’d be. Roaches are very hard to kill, after all, however I want a new guy to be roach. A new newbie that replaces the newbie slot soap currently fills
@@brandanpalmer as much as I’d love a new guy I’d be surprised if they did go with someone new
@@DrKElite243 that wouldn’t make sense since he’s an ex CIA agent close to a Russian aligned rebel group Roach could’ve served on the same unit as mace and Ghost though
You also forgot Soaps and Ghost funny dialogue, when Soap asked why Ghost uses a mask.
Soap "Are you ugly"
Ghost "Quite the opposite"
Soap "I doubt that"
MW2 2022 is probably the most enjoyable cod I’ve played in awhile. I love the newer modern warfare campaigns due to their realism and thus game added so much character to the cast. I love it
@@Unknown_Genius wait, who are you?
When the missile hit at the start I was waiting for “train go boom” 😔
“Oh he’s so pretty”
Had me snickering! I love it!
Something i like especially about these games from the OG series is the Mentor and Mentee theme within them.
Alex was a hard bastard with no one to give him a choice, Farrah gave him the chance to choose for himself and he chose his friend over his duty. Even in the WZ1 story, he chose his friends over anything else.
In MWI, Gaz was an agent wanting to end the conflict and Price showed him that getting there isn't pretty. In MWII it's come to the point that Gaz is learning how to be like Price, and it shows.
Then there's Ghost and Soap who at the beginning Soap is more carefree and green and ready to do the morally right thing while Ghost is an even harder bastard than Alex who is "by the books lone wolf," but they both mentor each other to the point that Soap learns to survive alone by his wit and Ghost learns the importance of a Team.
It's almost beautiful how they took characters who were known simply as Badass Soldiers trained for everything and made them more human through this one change to grow off of each other.
Ghost and Soap really wasn’t a mentor relationship hell same with Alex and Farah I guess she was her “CO” but it was unofficial and the only “mentoring” she did was give orders
@@Unknown_Genius wdym they were also perceived as badasses in their past in the og mws
Don’t forget Soap learns how to be a team player they were both lone wolves who had their own expertise but learnt how to fit in with the squad
24:30 "..with it being the only COD for the next two years.." that aged like a fine wine LMAO
I worked on the QA for this game. I'm super proud to have been a part of it. Sorry about any bugs you come across y'all. I'll tell you that the game used to be much worse at the start and is much more stable and better to play.
Sincerely, thank you for your hard work.
Yeah, tho too bad it’s still in a crappy state (cuz Activision is like that for some reason)
One question tho, why the fps stutters in the first match after just booting up the game?
Everyone was technically QA when the beta launched. Why pay qa devs when people do it for free
You’re proud for making a piece of shit game? That the company charged more for than any other release and the game couldn’t even play the campaign without crashing? You should be fired if you’re a “qa” team member you failed.@
Knowing Ghost’s backstory makes it even cooler the way he protects his name and identity.
The great thing about the reboot is that they don’t just kill off characters for the sake of drama, they can actually have a damn character growth now.
Going from Captain McTavish and Sgt Ghost to Sgt Soap and Lt Ghost is such a good decision for interactions.
This! Thank you! Everyone’s excuse for why they want them to die is “to raise stakes” or some bs. Like, you don’t have to kill people to raise stakes.
@@silashurd3597 but we know nobody is in any danger
@@leonrussell9607 Ok. They still made it to see another day though 🫡😁
It was lt ghost also would’ve been better with cpt MacTavish and lt ghost as playable
No it’s just that there’s no stakes and are appealing to fan service like Rodolfo surviving literally goes against what you just said
9:39 There was again one fun line in Close Air, when Ghost would get shot in the plate and says "Good thing your aim isn't shite like theirs!" "(giggle) Roger that, 0-7" if the player's shots were on point
Graves is an amazing character he is charismatic and is a true leader as you can hear the desperation in his voice when the shadow company convoy gets ambushed and he gave shadow company character and it shows they weren’t just mindless mercs and him and shadow company doesn’t deserve the hate just because of the betrayal (that 141 caused fight me) it goes to show they are such a good villain also wished they were the good guys for at least 1 full game this also helps shepherds character as they go hand in hand and how shepherd wasn’t a evil character and was trying to do the right thing he just went about in the wrong way and this duo between shadow company and shepherd is one of the best if not the best duo in the COD franchise and I hope we see a lot more of them in MW3 and one final thing about graves is that his boss battle was lacklustre so I really hope they just say he wasn’t in the tank and bring him back in MW3 as he was my favourite character in the game and is one of the best in the franchise
You got one thing wrong shepherd was evil he was doing evil things with bad intentions
There's a detail with the AC130. If you shoot an enemy's comrades near him, they will be wondering where tf the gunfire came from.
Honestly in my opinion this was my favorite campaign in the last 10 years I had such a good time and adored the Alone mission.
The vaulting at 19:43 is more impressive when you consider that he's also in full kit and soaking wet. That would NOT be lightweight at all.
maybe an "Everything GREAT About" about spec ops the line? i really like your style of hyping up games i already hyped myself up about and i would love to see you make a video about that gem of a game.
yesss I beat the campaign just last night, seeing this pop up I was excited to relive the parts I enjoyed. It really felt like a "the greatest hits from the OG MW games" but wasn't bad for it, I loved the mission where you jump from car to car and the way all the ghost masks looked on the table looked amazing to me, not just because they are an iconic mask but it just looked so real
Someone probably said it already but if you have subtitles on when graves says 'Shepard sends his regards' his name turns from blue to red. Pretty neat detail i my opinion
Over all plot wasn't the most groundbreaking, but holy shit the character interactions and gameplay were so freaking good. The game had me hooked the whole way
“Have you ever shot with a high powered scope and realized how hard it actually is?” Yes. I do distance shooting, and soooo many people think it’s a walk in the park because of video games.
I have to point this out because I found this out recently. This same actor/VA for General Shepherd also played one of the interrogators in Battlefield 3's Campaign. It's a trip seeing him of all people when revisiting BF3 after all these years.
honestly loving MW2 especially with DMZ mode being a fresh breath of air into multiplayer
If they'd only just reduce the constant lag spikes and crashes that happen in DMZ and warzone 2
Let's be honest. Graves was one of your favorite new characters. "Bravo 7-1 you are cleared hot to shut Hassan the hell up" sold me on him
As an old-school 24 fan I cannot support the notion of the great Glenn Morshower as “every other” military man. He is a gem. A gem I tell you.
Tbf he was in the og mw2 and shepherd was the og overlord
I do wanna say that I love the mechanics in Alone. I know it's a little experimental but personally I found them very fitting and very fun. I am a survival horror nut so I fit into the mold very well.
I liked finding resources and using bottles to draw the Shadow's attention away from injured Soap. Along with how the guns felt different with Soap's injury (since I took forever to even get the adrenaline thing) really made me feel good. Idk about it being brought to the end of the game, but it was pretty fun to work with while I had it. Just a fun campaign overall for me
Oh and I love the detail of Shadow's worrying about Soap, and more so Ghost's locations. I listened to one talk about how freaked out he was of Ghost for so long that I forgot what I was doing and got shot. Really near dialogue that I wish more of the enemies had in other sections of the game.
Watching this again and I'm thinking, WHERE DID IT ALL GO WRONG!?
rushed
@@enderboy90600 i know but I still like to scream it out
so happy you did the whole series. you put in so much effort for our enjoyment. Thank you
17:32
It wasn't pointed out in the video, but if you play with subtitles on Graves' name will change from Friendly to Enemy (blue to red by default).
It's a nice touch that could have been overlooked by just making his subtitle name red at the start of the cutscene.
15:06 I also love that little pause from her and the reaction of Diego.
Edit: Had to fix timestamp
oh, and THANK YOU for mentioning Sandman
Honestly, even if Alone is hard on realism, doing it with the gunless is rewarding as hell. Took almost an hour but felt great :)
“Oh he’s SO PRETTY” truly the graphics and the mocap are INCREDIBLE in this game
Campaign is top tier! One of the best I have ever played not gonna lie. Multiplayer and Warzone have a lot to live up to
love how in the campaign, for both sheppard and graves, their names turn red if you have subtitles
The thing I love most abt this game is the attention to detail cus we find out how Soap earned his nickname in multiplayer by reading his bio - cool shit iw👏👏👏
Here’s also good attention to detail is if have subtitles on when graves said “General Shepherd sands his regards,” it turns red and when Price and Shepherd are talking his sub is yellow indicating not not knowing where his alliances until he said he’s a dog with a bone and then it turns red
Sends his regards, not sensors for guards
I hate auto correct
Not to be too pedantic here, but he says "Sends his regards". At least I hope that's what the subtitles say as that is what he says and makes sense in the context.
Love the video simply because your charisma, energy and love for the game (all games tbf) drive it. My ONLY issue is that the subtitles don't sync up with the voice on occasion. Could prolly do with an an extra pair of eyes in that regard. Otherwise, like all your other vids, loved it
Right in the beginning, it’s wasn’t Shepherd telling Ghost he was danger close, that was Philip Graves, leader of Shadow Company.
Maybe hoping for Frost and Roach in MW3. Maybe they’re the ones Laswell brings in. But that’s just me.
at least 1 or two more wins, because you can stealth all the way to the lighthouse in the sniper mission, and also stealth all the way to the church in mexico.
Excellent video m8 and keep it coming
I absolutely LOVED the campaign. Proximity chat on Warzone has made the experience sooooo much more entertaining for me. Multiplayer is solid. I love this game!
I watched a BigPuffer/Blarg video on the new warzone, they went to a place and a squad was just going "Wooooooo" like ghosts, and it was funny as fuck haha
3:57 this actually makes a lot of sense because with a set of nods on you’re most likely not gonna be able to aim down irons, unless you had a sight with a higher height over bore
bro actually got sponsored by a rip off 💀💀
A sequel to a reboot of a franchise that is chockfull of easter eggs from the og games. Oil rigs, the name "Soap", "Do NOT fire on the church", All Ghillied Up, and my favorite "Since when the hell did Shepherd ever care about danger close?"
When was the last line?
@@Deathmare235 Team Player (MW2 2009) When the Rangers are about to enter the city and a jet bombs a building.
10:00 well, that aged well
Same thing with 11:30
I know this video is 2 months old and I’m probably not the first to say this, but if you have subtitles on, you can see Grave’s name change from friendly, to yellow (not sure if he’s an ally), to red (meaning he’s hostile.) the same happens with Shepherd’s name near the end. Just that attention to detail Activision puts into the game. Also, love your channel, mate
Another win which could have been implemented was the controller mapped missile hacking tool seen at 16:57 and 22:23. I found it super engaging where the button prompts were corresponding to the buttons you would often use during combat and a little detail I noticed while watching was the colour coordination, I play on an Xbox so I didn't think twice about the colours of the buttons Green (A) Red (B) Blue (X) and Yellow (Y) but to see them the same even on PlayStation Green (Cross) Red (Circle) Blue (Square) and Yellow (Triangle) (as seen by the symbols of the button prompts) I believe is a nice bit of unity across the platforms
I love the Older brother and Younger brother relationship between Ghost and Soap. They just radiate it whenever they are both on screen.
17:30 My favorite detail about Graves’ betrayal is in the subtitles. If you have them on, his name turns red as soon as he mentions Shepherd. He goes from friend to enemy just that quickly.
6:40 i dont think thats racism im like 99% percent sure that's cause there wearing blacked out military gear (a common practice of IRL cartels)
Some cartels can often look even better than the Mexican army, and even have guns bought/stolen from H&K or American government organizations like the ATF.
I know it’s not going to happen, but it would be great if they got Makarov’s original actor back for his reappearance, the absolute soullessness that he projected was unrivaled!
They should've waited at least three years before they came back with MW3. What a rushed, poorly executed and contrived pile of SHIT.
19:06 this is unintentionally my favorite moment of the game. Just the way soap say “it’s raining fucking hard” just make me laugh all the time. He’s like a British person when you ask them to do an American accent
It’s crazy how technically this game might be the first cod game with story dlc. And tbh I like that, the characters and story was so well done with this game I want more from this. So if they do do cod campaign dlc next year I’d be on board 100%
“When modern warfare 3 comes out in six years… maybe four.” Well, I guess you got your wish of having Makarov now
to be honest I like what they do here we got 4 Main Anime Protagonist here
Captain Price - Leader Protagonist
Gaz - the Good Moral Protagonist
Soap - the Funny Guy Protagonist
and also
Ghost - the Edge Lord Protagonist God I love this game
CoD MW 2 (2022) and God of War: Ragnarok makes me think 2022 is one of the Best Year for Gamer (personal Opinion only)
Interestingly, my biggest issues with this game was the exclusion of Al Asad, Roach, Delta force, Badger two one, and the Zakhaevs; Imran and Viktor. In fact, the 4 Horsemen should’ve been the overarching villains of the new series. Following the deaths of The Wolf, the Butcher and Hadir. First we deal with Al Asad, then Viktor, then Makarov; either surviving or being arrested, and then we go after Imran himself only for the end scene to be revealed that Makarov is back. Even having Iran and the cartel be allies with the 4 horsemen and have people like Laswell, Vargas, and Farah be killed to raise stakes.
Oh mate, come on, you suppressed my absolute favourite bit of this game... everyone meeting with Price at the top of the wall, getting into the getaway vehicles, Price saying "The truth" and then the soundtrack at the beginning of "Hindsight" mission... it's so absolutelly gloomy and inspired... I'd love to hear yer reaction to that.
I have no regrets in playing this Modern Warfare 2’s campaign. I like the characters a lot, and the new version of Ghost became my favorite.
The Win point for Soap being pretty made me laugh with joy
Fun fact about the ‘general shepherd sends his regards’ line. If you have your subtitles on, at that moment, graves’ nameplate turns red, signifying he is now your enemy
