    How Much Does A Call of Duty Mission REALLY Cost?

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare depicts war as bombastic and action packed but every gun, uniform, and bullet is based on something in reality; and that thing has a price tag. So, as we approach Tax Day here in the United States I thought to myself, how much does military equipment actually cost? What does that cost translate to in a video game? Join me as I analyze and breakdown, dollar by dollar, just how much a Call of Duty mission costs taxpayers.If you're looking to check my math, the Director's Cut retains every second of gameplay and I painstakingly edited each expense into the video 👉 https://youtu.be/KBu_dIaNjTsBE KIND and DO GOOD, gamers -- see you in the next one! ~🖤👻🅿️ Support my Content on Patreon: https://patreon.com/Spooky_Deer👕Very Cool Merch: https://spookydeer.com/🔗All My Socials: https://spookydeer.com/pages/socials🎵 Where I Get All My Royalty Free Music and Sound Effects ➡️ https://share.epidemicsound.com/0g74ww🤓 Sources Cited:That stupid scarf 🧣 https://amzn.to/4s1eEqOAmmunition Costs 🔫https://www.asafm.army.mil/Portals/72/Documents/BudgetMaterial/2021/Base%20Budget/Procurement/AMMO_FY_2021_PB_Procurement_of_Ammunition_Army.pdfWeapon Costs 🔫https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M4_carbinehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1911_pistolhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FGM-148_Javelinhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mk_19_grenade_launcherhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore_minehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M249_Squad_Automatic_Weaponhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M67_grenadehttps://www.gao.gov/assets/nsiad-90-139fs.pdfService Members Group Life Insurance 📜 https://www.va.gov/life-insurance/options-eligibility/sgli/Basic Training 🏃‍♂️https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA380842.pdf#:~:text=Detailed%20information%20is%20provided%20for%20determining%20the,theoretical%2C%20practical%2C%20normal%2C%20and%20annual%20budgeted%20capacity📹Here's most of the gear I use (these *are* affiliate links btw) 👇Main Camera (Sony ZV-E10) https://amzn.to/44PseF016mm Lens https://amzn.to/4pSwYlHSecondary Camera https://amzn.to/4b8dlkTDesk Microphone https://amzn.to/4bc8teBMic Arm https://amzn.to/49wEwEQHandheld Microphone (insane value 🤯) https://amzn.to/3N1RfXlStudio Lights https://amzn.to/4pl6c4rStream Deck+ https://amzn.to/4pXKapkStream Deck+ USB Hub https://amzn.to/3LhZAprChapters:0:00 Intro1:19 How Do US Taxes Work?3:01 Part One: Before the Battlefield5:51 Part Two: Boots on the Ground8:37 The Bog11:41 War Pig13:05 Shock & Awe15:43 Part Three: Aftermath17:00 Conclusion

    I Counted EVERY War Crime in Call of Duty: World At War

    We are diving into Call of Duty: World at War in this episode. Breaking down the grittiest, darkest, and most brutally violent COD from the golden era of the first person shooter franchise. Treyarch’s 2nd crack at making a WWII shooter in the COD franchise will kick off an iconic series and introduce the fan-favorite Viktor Reznov (voiced by Gary Oldman). From the beaches of the Pacific on Peleliu to the revenge filled crawl through Stalingrad in Vendetta. World at War will blatantly depict and force players to wrangle with the brutality of war, violations of international law, and deal heavily with war crimes and moral grey areas.It’s also just a really good video game.There’s an extended “Director’s Cut” of this episode available for YouTube Members https://youtu.be/phi8mH-TNHs or for Patreon supporters https://www.patreon.com/Spooky_Deer/posts/i-counted-every-151458165 - thank you so much for directly helping us make this content.📖 Read a copy of “With the Old Breed” by Eugene Sledge https://amzn.to/4tRI3pw⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert, these videos are made for entertainment purposes with a hope to increase curiosity and deepen learning.

    How DEVASTATING Was the Nuclear Explosion in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare?

    Call of Duty used to tell stories that were grounded, dramatic, and iconic. And the peak 2000's era of Call of Duty had one of the most shocking scenes when a nuclear bomb is set off in the Middle East at the end of Modern Warfare's "Shock and Awe" mission.COD lore alludes to how many US troops were lost but there's never been a full breakdown about the size or total damage wreaked by this insane set-piece moment!In this video I will calculate how big the nuclear explosion is, where it actually happened, and the total damage done.I hope all the research in this shows you how good "I Counted Every War Crime in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" will be!BE KIND and DO GOOD, gamers -- see you in the next one! ~🖤👻Sources Cited 🎓NukeMap Simulator ☢️ https://nuclearsecrecy.com/nukemap/History of the Fat Man Bomb 👉https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_ManInformation on the 2nd Battle of Fallujah 👉 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Battle_of_FallujahReddit Thread about the bomb 🧵 https://www.reddit.com/r/CallOfDuty/comments/odamqe/mw_what_was_the_yield_of_the_nuke/📸 All the Gear I Use: https://kit.co/Spooky_Deer🟣 Come Say "Hi" to me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sp00ky_deer☕ Support My Content on Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/sp00kydeer👕Very Cool Merch: https://spooky-deer-shop.fourthwall.com🔗All My Socials: https://spooky-deer-shop.fourthwall.com/pages/socials🎵 Where I Get All My Royalty Free Music and Sound Effects ➡️ https://share.epidemicsound.com/0g74wwChapters:0:00 Intro0:44 Evidence1:14 History of the Fat Man bomb2:04 Calculating the damage2:47 Where did "Shock and Awe" take place?4:20 Simulating the explosion

    I Counted EVERY War Crime in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

    Call of Duty is a powerhouse first-person shooter franchise. From World at War, to Warzone, the last 20 years has carried us from WWII well into sci-fi near futures all while becoming the largest and highest selling video game series of all time.It's not without controversy though. Many have done breakdowns about the series' cultural impact and how Call of Duty highlights (and/or glorifies) the horrors of combat, but for a series so specifically about war it's strange that I've never seen anyone try to analyze how Call of Duty handles depictions and scenarios involving war crimes.I will be playing through the entire Call of Duty series in release order, using my research and judgement to Count EVERY War Crime depicted in the campaigns. This series will serve as a retrospective on COD as a franchise but also as a deep dive examination to see if, as the series grew in popularity and Activision Blizzard deepened its relationship with global militaries and defense contractors if the number or severity of war crimes shown changed or were glossed over and justified.We’re getting all ghillied up and diving into Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This game is regularly lauded as one of the best in the series and it’s hard to overstate just how dramatically it changed the landscape for military first person shooters. For the gameplay in the video I played the “Remastered” version of the campaign for the higher fidelity and extra added details to the game. This is our first foray into contemporary warfare and it introduces a heap of new issues for us to navigate and international laws to violate.⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert, these videos are made for entertainment purposes with a hope to increase curiosity and deepen learning.

    I Counted EVERY War Crime in Call of Duty 3 (2006)

    Call of Duty is a powerhouse first-person shooter franchise. From World at War, to Warzone, to the upcoming Black Ops 7, the last 20 years has carried us from WWII well into sci-fi near futures all while becoming the largest and highest selling video game series of all time.It's not without controversy though. Many have done breakdowns about the series' cultural impact and how Call of Duty highlights (and/or glorifies) the horrors of combat, but for a series so specifically about war it's strange that I've never seen anyone try to analyze how Call of Duty handles depictions and scenarios involving war crimes.I will be playing through the entire Call of Duty series in release order, using my research and judgement to Count EVERY War Crime depicted in the campaigns.

COD 3 was Treyarch's first crack at the series and one that stayed relegated as a console exclusive, never being ported to modern PCs or consoles. My only way to play was through Xbox backwards compatibility. Call of Duty 3 is a black sheep in the series being stuck squarely in the "retro" category now. Let's take a look at this long forgotten campaign and see how many war crimes there are.⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert, these videos are made for entertainment purposes with a hope to increase curiosity and deepen learning.

    I Counted EVERY War Crime in Call of Duty 2

    Call of Duty is THE powerhouse first-person shooter franchise. From Rebirth Island, to Warzone, to the freshly announced Black Ops 7 - the last 20 years have carried us from WWII into sci-fi near-futures all while becoming the largest and highest selling video game series of all time.It's not without controversy though. Creators have done breakdowns about the Call of Duty's cultural impact and how it highlights (and/or glorifies) the horrors of war. But, for a series so specifically *about war* it's weird that I've never seen anyone try to breakdown how Call of Duty handles depictions of and scenarios involving war crimes.I will be playing through the entire Call of Duty series in chronological release order, using my research and judgement to Count EVERY War Crime depicted in the campaigns. This series is a retrospective on COD as a franchise but also as a deep dive examination to see if, as the series grew in popularity if the number or severity of war crimes shown changed or were glossed over and justified.Call of Duty 2 is on the menu today, a classic FPS that I remembered quite fondly and, from a gameplay standpoint, holds up amazingly well. Counting all the war crimes in this one ends up being a beast of a task because of some changes that were made in the gameplay mechanics.⚠️ Disclaimer: I am not a legal expert, these videos are made for edutainment purposes with a hope to increase curiosity and deepen learning.
