Hey guys! Welcome back to this story!

Now here's my first non movie recreation for this post!

As some of you may know… The next Call of Duty is finally going back to its roots… WWII. And the hype is so real right now!

Yesterday was also the 73th anniversary of D-Day, aka. Operation Overlord, the invasion by American, British, Canadian, and Free French forces in Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944, to free Europe from Hitler and the Nazis.

So here's the recreation for the reveal trailer that came out!

Actual In-Game Footage

"This day has set upon a mighty endeavor…"

A man's voice on a radio sounded as first the ocean could be seen, then landing craft full of American soldiers, then a cliffside, and lastly, a sky full of allied planes. The day was D-Day, June, 6, 1944, the invasion of Normandy, and this particular beach on the Normandy coast was Omaha beach.

"Souls will be shaken with the violences of war."

The man's voice continued as in one of the landing craft, a Blue macaw soldier named Blu stood up, looking towards the German occupied beach.

"In this hour of great sacrifice…"

The man's voice on the radio still continued as back in Normandy, one of the landing craft exploded in flames from a direct hit by a German gun. The flaming landing craft hitting another as soldiers in the other one ducked down.

"We shall prevail."

The man's voice on the radio ended as the landing crafts finally got to the beach, but as soon as the ramps lowered down, German MG-42s sprayed bullets all over, killing scores of American soldiers. Blu went over the side of the landing craft instead and splashing down in the water. As he floated back up to the surface, another soldier was with him, shouting to him.

"Get your head down and keep moving!"

As the German MG-42s continued firing, the American soldiers charged up the beach, running through tracers and mortar rounds landing nearby. As the scene changed, it showed a lot of allied planes advancing into German occupied Europe.

"We are all that separates the world from darkness."

A soldier's voice sounded as P-47 Thunderbolts flew above his head towards their targets. The scene changing to a German soldier getting off his burning tank and taking out a Luger pistol and loading it.

"The enemy is ruthless."

The soldier's voice said as the German pulled the trigger of his pistol, apparently finishing off a wounded allied soldier.

We can not, we must not fail."

The soldier's voice finished as it showed a group of American soldiers in a field, with allied planes flying above.

"Duty first."

Another Blue macaw soldier named Roberto told Blu as he winked at Blu. The scene changed to one where American soldiers were riding on Sherman tanks, advancing deeper into Normandy.

"Hey Felipe! Bumpy enough for you?"

One soldier called to his friend while sitting on the lead tank. As the Sherman tanks drove on, they were ambushed by a German Panzer IV, firing a point blank shot at the lead Sherman, which exploded in flames, taking all the American soldiers riding on top with it. Blu covered his eyes from the explosion as he couldn't believe it.

As the fight continued, German Stuka dive bombers roared in, their infamous sirens wailing as they fired their machine guns at Blu and his comrades. One of the soldiers getting shot and died instantly as he fell, Blu and the others ducking down. As Blu came to an AA gun, he started shooting back at the German planes, managing to get one, which went down in flames.

Later, Blu could be seen sitting down, a face of no emotions as the same German plane crashed into a church, knocking Blu backward as he hang on to a ladder, a church bell hitting the ladder from the other side and almost knocking off Blu. As Blu hung on, one of his comrades was about to fall off, hanging onto a wooden beam.

"I got you, hold on!"

Blu shouted, but he was too late as the other soldier fell to his death. Then next showed a American soldier with a flamethrower, burning out a German bunker. As it showed Blu looking around at a town's ruins, his voice sounded, speaking to Roberto.

"How many casualties?"

Blu asked, Roberto giving back an answer Blu didn't like.

"We have to execute the mission."

Roberto answered, as the next shot showed a soldier laying down, speaking to Blu.

"Get me the f*** out of here."

The soldier asked Blu as it showed a American soldier getting shot while holding onto his rifle, a mortar round exploding near by. Blu then making the sign of the cross over the dead body of one of his friends. Blu then angry at Roberto, yelling in his face.

"How many!?"

But Roberto still stuck to his orders of course…

"We had orders!"

Blu didn't like this one bit as he then punched Roberto with his wing right across the face. As another battle started, trees exploded as a German round hit them while American tanks and soldiers advanced froward, the trees turning to splinters. As the German barrage continued, a round exploded in front of Blu, knocking him off his talons and onto the ground.

As the American soldiers went froward, a German MG-42, on a halftrack, was firing onto the American soldiers, cutting them down. While the battle continued, Blu, holding onto his rifle, helped another of his friends up.

"Get to cover!"

Blu's officer shouted as Blu and his friends ran, one soldier returning German fire with his grease gun while a wooden structure collapsed.

Then it showed Blu having to fight hand to hand with a German soldier, Blu picking up his helmet while he pinned down his enemy and then using it to senselessly beat the German's head.

"Lieutenant! Tell them what we're all about."

A high officer asked a lieutenant named Eduardo.

"No mission too difficult."

Eduardo spoke while it showed Blu loading up his M1 Garand, then a group of American Sherman tanks firing at German positions while taking return fire, while an American soldier was on top of one of the tanks, firing the turret mounted M1919A4 machine gun at the Germans. As the fight went on, Blu, with a trench gun, shot and killed a German soldier charging at him at point blank range.

"No sacrifice too great."

Eduardo continued as Blu and Roberto were together, walking through some woods. Then a German King Tiger tank rolling through, aiming its deadly 88m gun at Blu and his friends.

"Come on! On me!"

Roberto's voice shouted as the German tank zeroed in, firing its gun, the shots hitting close by Blu and the other American soldiers. As Blu and his friends finally managed to destroy the German tank, the tank now a flaming wreckage, Blu came up with his rifle and shot one of the German soldiers, who was wounded.

As the screen went black for a split second, it then showed Roberto, speaking to Blu who just arrived in the Army's First Infantry Division.

"Welcome to the bloody first."

Roberto welcomed Blu and then stepped back while holding a grease gun.

"You're a long way from Minnesota, farm boy."

November 3

And done!

So yes, the hype is real! But also, I wanted to make something for D-Day, but nothing really came to mind.

And I also had the first half written up like a month ago, but never finished with the second half until now, so this might have turned out a little messy… But that's up to you guys to decide!
