This is the game that would happen if you asked 12 year old me to make an army game based on second hand info from classmates who were allowed to play them
It’s glorious and I must watch Oboe play all of it
0:20 actually I find this opening really interesting from a writing perspective.
Because it does come across as corny hence why Oboe is mocking it, but at the same time I can't quite place what makes it different than say COD4 which people generally consider to be "better" opening dialogue in very much the same style. There's lots of films too that have these kind of briefings, maybe it is how quickly it jumps into it? Maybe it is the pace of the line delivery? But there's nothing really "wrong" with the content until it starts talking about "bio-weapons" and other such stuff...
In theory it should work, but it doesn't, there's something that feels wrong and I can't quite place what it is. It's like everything is just slightly wrong and I can't quite pin down why or how exactly but you know it feels wrong like an episode of the twilight zone.

"Take his commie soul" Ptooo! "God bless you"
"Rock his world" Ptooo! "Beers on me"
"Make him think of a bullet" Ptooo! "Just like basic"
"Stamp his passport" Ptooo! "Happy trails"
"Do you... have to do that everytime?"
"Sorry" *ptooo!* "Throat problem"
Holy crap at 33:23, friendly just shoots up into the air and dies, failing the mission.

I've spent enough time at the beach to know that there's no way to quietly wade through chest high water.
Have you tried not screaming as you do it?
@@TheKylebreezy :Smacks Forehead: Now why didn't I think of that?
@@hesthatguy :D
yeah no water is loud, I think the only way to make it sorta quieter would be to go very slowly, would still make noise tho
That’s not accurate because the waves of the ocean is not a good control baseline to measure off of…waves make noise buddy…*
33:34 that flying friendly lmao
saw that
33:23 for people who want to actually see it
Now you have to play sniper ghost warrior 3
I remember Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 has this oddly catchy song. Admittedly the game wasn't equally catchy so I had to refund it.
Sniper ghost warrior 3 was breath taking awful please make the whole sniper franchise after part 2
Far cry 4 with bullet drop
Decent gameplay, bad story and terrible acting, looks again, like a parody of an action movie but, for me at least, it was part of what made it enjoyable lol
I played it, dindt like it too much, was meh, but the main menu music got stuck in my brain for some reason
21:00 Honestly as someone from Setpiece Jungle, it warms my heart to see our country represented at all in media even if its an imperfect depiction
Just to be clear, the first mission of this game happens north of Naga. Which is on the Mainland Luzon. I Live Further West of the location they mark on that briefing cutscene. They said that the target is somehow affiliated with Abu Sayyaf which is a real extremist group operating in PH. Abu Sayyaf operates on the Southern Part of the Philippines namely in the mindanao sector which is hundred of miles away from the location they indicated here. So unless they manage to build a base deep on the Bicol Region or they really messed up the geography. Also there are no known ruins on that area. As far as i know there are a bunch of tourist attractions and beaches on that area. There is no way a terrorist group will make that place a hideout because of how flat that area and it was not exactly a dense forest with a river. LOL. NGL i love this game when i first played it on XBOX.
And then the terrorists are speaking Russian, and they somehow have an Mi-8, the Philippine Air Force didnt even have a single supersonic jet when the game came out lol.
I was honestly raising my hands up after I saw the fucking choppers lmao, like the entire Wagner PMC that is somehow in Bicol has a better fucking army and air force than ours.
@@mosesracal6758 and i doubt they manage to fly those aircrafts without batting an eye of suspicions. Having russian PMC on a random place and have a ton of hardwares which is undoubtedly a military hardwares will have more response than this. I dont really have that much knowledge on PH intelligence fields but they will definitely notice this kind of movement because on how close this is on a major city just south of its location. Sending two snipers will never be an option for both US and PH forces LOL
@@miraitwosix1570 i love when these war games pull of stuff like this, specially when youre from the part that they are trying to be "realistic" about. In my case its any game happening in south america, they mention some part thats a metropolitan center and they depict it as a deep jungle or a yellow tint desert 😆
remember what i've taught you. keep in mind variable humidity and wind speed along the bullet's flight path. at this distance you'll also have to take the coriolis effect into account

I think it's the presentation COD has some going on more distractions to hide the dumb dialogue. Also better voice acting most of the time.
@@wythe2445 The dialogue in modern COD is definitely VERY cringe, but COD4 and WAW/Black Ops is reasonable, obviously there's bits that aren't "accurate"
This one may have started talking about bio-weapons in the first few minutes but then COD4 mentions "a civil war in Russia and 15,000 nukes at stake" within the first 60 seconds as well, yet that sets the stakes for the story quite nicely.
I agree Craig Fairbrass and Billy Murray are "better" voice actors than whoever these people are but I can't quite put my finger what is actually better about them, is it timing or emphasis or malice or humour.
Actually it might be the humour the most cringe bit of the voice acting is how serious the Americans are in this with lines that are pretty dumb, almost like they thought "Who invited the spooks?" was a serious question rather than a disparaging comment AND it doesn't help that both "Anderson" and "Diaz" both SOUND the same so it makes it sound like he's raving to himself in the briefing with a split personality.
It has to be the way they ram in as MANY military sounding words as possible as quickly as they can comes across as more desperate to be believed *"Eyes front."* "Who invited the *spooks*?" "This is a *Company OP*, *Anderson*. I've agreed to let you *take point*." and then there's something like "Just don't fuck this one up." and making sure to name drop another mission "Like I did in *Sarajevo*?" all within the *FIRST 10 SECONDS*
For comparison the first 10 seconds of COD4:
"Good news first, the world's in great shape. We've got a *civil war in Russia*, *government loyalists against Ultranationalist rebels*, and *15,000 nukes* at stake." "Just another day at the office."
It's more jovial and informal at both the start and end, the information is entirely contained in the middle, with no pointless forced conflict between people to try and hide the exposition.
The weird part is that COD actually probably has more nonsense terms, "ultranationalists" crop up in the first few seconds but later on there's stuff about "Intel is keeping an eye..." when that isn't really how that would be phrased, Intelligence, Six, MI6 or Vauxhall Cross is used as for the people, 'Intel' is used typically just for referring to documents rather than the people acquiring them for you.
This uses things like "Company" correctly as the CIA very rarely call themselves "the Agency" which is something that most often crops up in film, TV and video games, and prefer to only call themselves "the Company"
I think it is just slightly stilted delivery combined with the need to ONLY use the full correct names that causes "Sniper Ghost Warrior" to sound clunky "weaponized African hemorrhagic fever. Stuff makes the Black Death look like a head cold." it's just *too long* of a line and the problem is it is TRYING to say how deadly this African fever is but it can ONLY do that by saying how deadly ANOTHER DISEASE is...
Like try comparing it to anything that's deadly but not a disease...?
"They stole weaponized African fever, stuff's more likely to kill you than sucking off a 12 gauge."
"Hemorrhagic fever. One squirt on the New York subway and it'll make 9/11 look like a Manhattan fender bender."
I mean maybe it sounds goofy because the African fever isn't actually that bad? So it just makes them sound like they're worrying about it? I don't know how bad it is...or if it is real actually... but maybe it just sounds goofy because of the idea of Russian mercenaries sneaking into a "bio-lab" and stealing all the diseases. I don't know...
@@esmeecampbell7396it's the pace and the dead tone in delivery.
The lines are all right for military language and very much in period but the fact there's no tone change or emotional response in the delivery.
If you're referring to the UK services, Box or Firm are the terms the military tend to use. Derogatory but descriptive. Same as spook or company.
@@jediknight1294 Yeah there's definitely something about the fast pace but dead delivery that makes it feel off, the way lines are delivered in COD or even Battlefield (which although "slightly" more realistic stories and gameplay I always thought had the slightly worse voice acting and writing just generally for things like how it sounded or played out) makes them feel more natural even though the actual language is more accurate in this. At least as far as my understanding of how the Yanks do it goes...
I never personally found Box to be derogatory, or really heard anyone use it in a derogatory way. Box is MI5, short for Box 500, which was an old postal address, though more often I heard them called MI5 or just "5" and roughly as often as Box 500 or Box they get called Thames House (more by officers) after their current address or "the Security Service" which is the official title. Rankers don't generally have to talk about them ever, outside of the SAS, I've seen some stuff from them that suggests Box, Box 500, or just 500 or 5 are pretty common although that was all based on nearly 40 years ago so common parlance may have changed. In fact young rankers these days probably grew up with the popular BBC show Spooks so may refer to them as that, Security Service remains such a mouthful that MI5 I think will always be favoured for ease and speed of transmission.
I've never heard of MI6 being called "the Firm" or "Firm" though, "Six" or "MI6" would be most common, "SIS" "Secret Intelligence Service" are how they seem to like to refer to themselves officially, and has been since WW2 actually, although almost everyone outside of the Foreign Office still retains the more distinctive "MI6" probably picked up from James Bond films when they're younger. "Intelligence" or "the Foreign Office" (after their official paymasters and diplomatic cover) would also be more Official terminology used by Officers, and "The Det" sometimes for a specific group who allegedly work alongside MI6 that are allegedly drawn from Special Forces and also allegedly possibly don't exist.
But the majority of the British Military interaction with Intelligence is neither MI5 nor MI6, it's really only Special Forces who ever interact with them, the majority of rank and file Military would only ever talk to actual "Military" Intelligence (not to be confused with the names MI5 and MI6 which were old names for Security Service and Secret Intelligence Service) which is the Intelligence Corps for the British Army, who are almost ubiquitously referred to as "the Green Slime" or just "Slime" by everyone other than OCs and 2ICs and the Defence Intelligence Staff who are just called "Slime" if they're Military staff and just "Civilians" if they're Civil Servants.
Though to be fair especially things like the Civil Service, there's no cemented traditional nickname for them, and even with any of the others it's largely contextual and pretty casually changed, one group of squaddies may refer to them as "the shirts" or "the suits" and they'd know what they mean, and everyone else would be able to get it from context. When they RTU and start spinning dits with the rest of their regiment in future and it'll give rise to a whole new parlance potentially. If someone ever made a name up on the spot, I'd never know and would just assume I'm in the wrong for not having heard it used before.
@@esmeecampbell7396 my experience is connected to Northern Ireland, Firm was mainly used by friends of my fathers who were Det. Usually when sat around drinking telling stories a 9yr old shouldn't have heard.
It wouldn't suprise me if it's gone out of fashion, it was rather well publicised after Ryan started publishing fiction books on the S.A.S in N.I.
Box and firm are both faintly derogatory in the sense of the person is doing box or Firm things and is expected to act a certain way and be a certain way because of what they are.
5 and 6 as Seperate organisations is an odd one as from a technical pov their just departments of S.I.S along with a handful of others. MI9 was a thing for a while but that got wound up after the second World War if I remember correctly.
Service language all gets very odd and a lot of the older stuff has gone to the winds I mean when did you last hear a piece of gear be referred to as 'ally' or 'warry' by anyone under 40. Hell half of the new lot have no understanding of what I mean when I use the term 'scaley' for my own upbringing.
Im... An anacronism, I mean I still refer to WHAT I did as being a mercenary rather than a Contracter.
Worlds most impatient man plays worlds most slow paced on rails game.😂
This is one of the first games I owned on my 360 when I was like 10. I bought it at GameStop because the disc was in cool looking special “bulletproof” edition case that was made of metal instead of plastic
holy shit its just cod4 and mw2 cutscenes this is amazing
And the game itself looks like cod ghosts
I love how like within 2 minutes of starting the game, the characters needlessly walk through chest deep water. You think theyd want to avoid being absolutey drenched.
I like it where they try to cram as many “military” lines in the opening as possible.
“YOURE GONNA TAKE POINT, JUST DONT FUCK THIS UP.” Jesus, Yahtzee was right. The dialogue is over-the-top masculine to a dare-I-say homoerotic degree.
Somebody never played CoD: Ghosts. That was unbearably bad dialogue.
I distinctly remember playing the demo of this when i was like 6 and thinking its the coolest thing ever
The Sniper Ghost Warrior Contracts games are actually good. It's like a mix of Hitman and Sniper Elite
Yeah I tried to play Sniper Ghost Warrior 3 but couldn't make it. I've been halfway addicted to Contracts.
When Cpt. Price needs more money so he needs to lead a whole ass Sniper game instead of just one mission :)
In terms of dialogue this is the most violently American game i've ever seen. And that's not a compliment in case anyone was thinking it is.
And yet it's developer is based in Poland.
What's "Most Violently American" no such thing as that.
@@subjectc7505
there definitely is
@@username-yc3bd it not.
Damn dude, just catching strays over here.
We should force Oboe to play through every City Interactive shooter
Didn’t G Man already do that?
@@afd19850 that guy is a stupid shill and missed out on most of the games
@@afd19850yeah but GMan is a veteran of eurojank, oboe is a but a humble newborn in this great art form
Jarekgamingdragon did as well too
@@mr.bluesky4130 Very true
i accidentally hovered over the video twice to hear "SNIPER 2 IS PRESENTED BT CI GAMES", clicked, heard it again. 0:04 and i already am deafened and done.
25:30 that’s a TAR-21, although it’s a bit more blocky here. And it isn’t ugly, it’s beautiful..IRL and other games.
What makes this funnier is that Bill Hader did a skit on SNL where he was attending a puppeteer class led by Seth McFarland. In the skit, Bill plays a depressed older veteran with PTSD and is in the class as a form of therapy. Each person is supposed to make a puppet and Bill's character makes one that looks and talks exactly like him. The voice he uses sounds exactly like the guy that is leading you in the first mission.
As a non-native English speaker, who has since become fluent, I first played this when I was around 8 or 9 with my only real experience in the language up to that point being Jacksepticeye and Minecraft. I never since considered playing through it again, I'm certainly never going to, but I was a bit curious how bad the game actually was... Thanks for the video!
For such cheap looking game, russian sounds pretty good. Almost without accent.
talking army guy would make a good youtuber. "All right you see that like button? Send it. On my six, don't forget to comment and- wait! weapons cold.. Hold.. hooooold.... OK weapons free on that subscribe button." "Intel reports only 95% of my audience is subscribed. ice that subscribe button. out and over."
Its so funny because the way Filipino terrorists are portrayed makes it so that the terrorists have way better equipment. By the time the game was released, the Philippine Army and Air Force did not have a single attack helicopter and here it was - terrorists in the middle of a jungle somehow has a hind.
Thats not hind but MI 8.
Interesting upload timing
sometimes i forget that these games exist
oboe really doesnt want to play the game to enjoy it, he wants to play the game and if it wasnt a fast paced fully destructible game then its dogshit
This is like if the opening section of Farcry 3 was a whole game
Saying all of the equipment should be post-Soviet is not saying it will be easier to mess with: if anything, it might be more challenging-all equipment after the fall of the Soviet-Union is post-Soviet, which could mean any equipment up into this day, including the most advanced. 😂
The Sniper Elite at home.
Low bar
6:31 WUT!? Army of TWO was awesome!
Oh yeah The Devil's Cartel was awesome. This dude has no clue what he’s talking about. He’s just another UA-camr with a shit opinion.
I always liked sniper games. Got this game on sale on steam for like 2.99, Totally worth it. Both contracts games aren't bad, but, sniper elite is top sniper games for sure. The Xray slow motion shots never get old.
Ive been bingeing your videos to help me with my breakup, youre awesome man!
20:50 I cant believe he didnt sing Waiting on You, when he said waiting on you.
Since you already played a few City Interactive (or more recently just CI) games, I'd recommend checking out the older creations of this prestigious Polish studio. The Battlestrike series, Code of Honor series, Terrorist Takedown series, maybe even Sniper: Art of Victory (the first member of the Sniper series) would all be a perfect fit for the channel. They are not very well made, full of entertaining bugs like we just witnessed at the end (maybe not so entertaining for you, but for us definitely), and overall just fun to watch, as they are the good kinda bad games!
I remember trying the first game, played for about 30 seconds. Never again lol
Hey oboe can I suggest evil west? It's truly a game
I miss the old obo channel
Ghost Contracts is actually good, not great, but pretty good.
omg my dads favorite game from back in the day. He was so fucking good at this shit
That suppressor on that P226 is ludicrously small, like it's made out of paper.
So you take out an anti-materiel rifle, then a helicopter (which qualifies as "materiel") flies in, yet you're supposed to NOT shoot that, and instead waste 50BMG on random dudes who are all presumably deaf since not one reacts to the cannon blasting away in their generic jungle canyon.
the xray bulletcam is trademarked by sniper elite so no one else can use it lol
This game was a guilty pleasure of mine back then. It's amusing how the developers tried so hard to make this game a super serious COD-like.
Not great, though it's certainly better than the atrocious first SGW. That one makes this game "look like a head cold". 😉
Thanks for trying this out, it was fun hearing your commentary on this mediocre game.
day 7 of asking oboe to play Sniper: Art of Victory the first game in the Sniper: Ghost Warrior series
25:34 "that thing" is the Oboeshoesgaming version of "those things!"
seeing 2:32 seeing heat throu the scope never made me more mad fr
Lol those GTA IV character profile pictures in the intro lol
This game does look pretty. Still probably one of the cooler ci games. Alien Rage is my favorite.
based oboe calling a bullpup rifle gross
Great vid
Army of 2 iii came out in 2013...
I completely forgot about the third one lol 40th Day was great tho
0:55
Okay analysis, he's a Caucasian "Filipino National". Either he's a half blood or an immigrant.
Second, he's 5 feet and 10.5 inches tall. Mf is taller than 90% of the Filipino population.
Lastly, I ain't never seen any of my kind who's full blooded look this western.
I had to do a double take to make sure this wasn't a fever induced hallucination. 🤣
Made me want to unironically buy this game just to find stuff like this and laugh at it.
Who else feels like this guy would fit in perfectly with the smity group
Woah dude....its like so realistic bro...yeahhhhh...
31:14 I hope we get a Tactical Pantsing finishing move in Black Ops 6
if i can't wedgie or wet willie as a finisher then what's the point

my guy is so right about the xbox / cheap mw2 thing
Siberian strike DLC is so good that its nuts. You must play it. Thank me later
this seems ok

2:50 cs:cz is fun
deleted scenes
CI games are best game
Tell me you reload too much without telling me you reload too much. Lol
i mean unless its using a mag counter system there's zero reason to not have a full mag 24/7
That's lucky because 2 people in america died of the black death the other day
I played the original army of two and thought it was banging. Was the sequel that bad not to warrant a trilogy ?
There is a trilogy
Wow I haven't been this entertained since Trump got.. nvm.
C I told you it was bad.
I know the game is bad, but is Oboe just playing dumb, or actually this dumb? Some of the comments here; damn man. Anybody would think you've never once played a military shooter or watched an American action movie in your life.
Also, take a shot for Troy Baker VA presence. Maybe drunk Oboe is more intelligent 🤔
Where is "LZ is hot!" ?
A spin off of a spin off lol
Try binary domain
Sniper ghost warrior 3 is miles better than this one
Ghost Warrior Contracts is actually a pretty entertaining and competent game. I'd recommed it if you ever get around looking for something to make a video on. But yeah, the rest of the franchise is pretty memey.
Nolan North (?) sounds so bored doing this character
i actually play all games in this series and couldnt remember a thing other than the first one is janky mess, 2 is very linear, third one is literally far cry and contracts 1 and 2 are like new hitman games

Hey I'm oboe love your videos, but deeply and severely fuck you for saying they're should be an army of two 3. I agree though
I love how tge literally copied cod mission briefing shot for shot.. And style lol
oh no they have that ugly ass hk assault rifle that evey shooter at the time thought would be the gun of the future
Wait, this isn't the parody COD the Bulletstorm devs did as part of their marketing campaign?
this game is a rip off of sniper elite
I think this came first?
@@vannlo355the first sniper elite came out in 2005
This game is so boring.
Army of Two 3 already exists en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_of_Two:_The_Devil%27s_Cartel
City Interactive still sounds like a fake company name from Software Inc ngl.
Then again so did The Farm 51.
They do make hilarious games though. 🫡
