Hey guys!
Now before we begin, I said I was going to do the Star Wars: Battlefront II single player trailer, but I decided maybe not… Or at least later.
Besides, yesterday was Veterans' Day, aka, Remembrance or Armistice Day, so it's better to do something more related and what's more related you might ask?
Well, Call of Duty: WWII came out! So I might as well do stuff from the game! Now if you didn't play the single player campaign or watched any of the walkthroughs, than don't read this! Because it contains spoilers!
Defiance
The winter of 1944-45, the Allies were on their final objective, Germany, however Hitler has launched one final gamble against the Western Allies in what would become known as the Battle of the Bulge. In what was a fierce and bloody struggle in the snowy Ardennes Forest, Allied forces finally stopped the German offensive and slowly began pushing back the German army to the Rhine River. However, intelligence was found by American soldiers about the Germans planning to blow up the last bridge across the Rhine so that the Allies can't cross the river easily.
The Allies took the advantage and a platoon from the First Infantry division ambushed a German convoy carrying explosives and then used the trucks from the Germans to sneak up on the German base which housed the explosives that were to be used to blow up the bridge. As the sneaky attack turned into a loud one, two of the American soldiers, a Blue macaw named Blu and a Scarlet named Alex was in an overwatch position when a German King Tiger tank came roaring out of a hangar.
"Roberto's falling back." Blu noticed as he saw his sergeant and the rest of the platoon fall back.
"Enemy tank!" Alex shouted as he then noticed the German tank advance.
The King Tiger fired at Roberto and the platoon, but then turned its turret towards Blu and Alex.
"THE TANK'S TARGETING US!" Alex shouted as the King Tiger fired away. "Get down!"
And Blu was almost thrown off the building but managing to hang onto the edge, Blu hanging on for dear life until the part of the roof he was hanging from broke and Blu fell down a couple of stories onto the snowy ground. Blu, a bit unconscious at first from falling down opened his eyes, seeing Alex was in front of him, also pretty dazzled as a few yards away, German soldiers were getting into a truck.
"This is bad. Jewish POWs don't get off easy." Alex commented, a German white cockatoo soldier then grabbing onto Alex and forcing him into the truck.
"Stay calm. It'll be okay." Blu reassured Alex as another German soldier came up and pointed his MP-40 at Blu, Blu raising his wing in surrender.
As the two friends were forced into the truck by the German soldiers, Blu just about to get on when some members of his squad came to the recuse, shooting down a couple of German soldiers and managing to save Blu, but Alex was still on the German truck.
"Blu!" Alex called out.
"Hang on!" Blu called back as he watched the truck start to take off, Blu then noticing that Alex has dropped his lucky charm, St. Michael, the patron saint of soldiers.
"That was close. You okay?" An American toucan named Rafael asked Blu as he came up to him.
"They captured Alex." Blu reported, trying to catch his breath back.
"I'm sorry about your buddy but we need to hit that last truck now." Rafael reminded Blu of the mission at hand.
"No." Blu replied as he noticed Roberto drive up in a jeep, Blu going past Rafael to get the jeep to chase after the Germans.
"No, no, no. You're not going anywhere." Roberto ordered Blu as Roberto stood in front of him.
"Alex was captured." Blu replied, still going froward.
"Mission comes first." Roberto reminded Blu.
"I can't leave him!" Blu shouted as he gave Roberto a hard shove aside, throwing his sergeant to the ground as Blu climbed into the jeep and chased after the Germans, who were just exiting the base.
After a wild chase, dodging the structures of the base, German jeeps with soldiers firing MP-40s at him, and the German jeeps trying to force Blu to go off road, Blu eventually caught up to the truck carrying Alex. However one of the German jeeps banged against the jeep Blu was in as the whole group of vehicles lost all control, the jeeps, including Blu's flipping over and the truck coming to a halt.
Blu was thrown from the driver's seat and ended up laying down on the snowy ground. Spotting a German Luger Pistol in between him and another German soldier, Blu started crawling towards the weapon, the German doing the same. Blu got to the weapon first, however the German was quick enough and grabbed onto Blu's wing which was holding the pistol.
The two struggled as Blu managed to hold the German's head in place while he brought up the pistol and as soon as it was pointed at the German's head, Blu fired, instantly killing the German. Blu got up and fired several rounds at the Germans getting into the truck, the truck however speeding away while Blu collapsed, taking a return shot from one of the Germans, which luckily wasn't fatal.
As time passed, Blu heard someone behind him and turned around to see that it was Roberto.
"You disobeyed a direct order." Roberto told Blu.
"Then I guess you better court martial me." Blu stated back defiantly, Roberto stepping more froward.
"Desertion is a capital offense." Roberto reminded Blu as Roberto then reached for his own pistol. "So maybe I should do us all a favor and finish the job."
"Sergeant!" The voice of Nico, another friend of Blu's called.
"It's over. You got no place in my platoon." Roberto said sternly as he got right up to Blu's face and then stood back up. "Get him out of my face." Roberto ordered Nico and another one of Blu's friend, Pedro as they came up.
"It's gonna be okay." Nico comforted Blu as he and Pedro helped Blu up. "We'll get you patched up."
"You did everything you could." Pedro added.
12 hours later
Bad Orb, Germany
American prisoners of war were in rows, Alex along them, alongside a train in a POW camp while a German white cockatoo officer inspected the prisoners.
"I'm looking for workers. Separate the Jews." The German officer, who's name was Nigel told a German soldier besides him.
"Lose the tags. Lose'em." Alex whispered to the other prisoners, Alex understanding German as he heard Nigel. "They're after Jews." Alex taking off his dog tags and then using his army boot, buried it under the snow on the ground.
Nigel must have noticed for he came up to one of the prisoners.
"Show me who are the Jews." Nigel demanded of the American, who clearly didn't understand German, Nigel took out his pistol as he didn't get an answer back. "The Jews."
Nigel wasn't a patient one, for only after a few seconds of not getting an answer, he shot the prisoner right in the forehead, the American dropping on the ground with a pistol shot in his forehead right between his open and dead eyes.
"Show me who are the Jews." Nigel demanded as he moved onto the next prisoner in line.
"Ask me you Nazi piece of s***." Alex spoke up in German.
"You speak German. Perfect." Nigel said, as he came up to Alex. "Who are the Jews?" Nigel asked.
"F*** you." Alex replied, not winking at all.
"Show me." Nigel raising his voice as he brought up his pistol.
"We're Americans. Period." Alex answered in English.
Nigel had enough, but instead of killing Alex right there, he bashed the side of Alex's head with the handle of his pistol, Alex falling to the ground. As he tried to get up, Nigel just kicked him in the belly and as Alex once again tried to get up, Nigel stomped hard on Alex's belly with his talons.
"Put them all on the train." Nigel ordered as he turned from Alex.
As a couple of German soldiers forced Alex up, other German soldiers herded the prisoners into the train, violently grabbing onto them. And even as one American soldier tried to run, a German with an MP-40 hit the prisoner and knocked him out. The soldiers grabbing onto Alex threw him into one of the train cars, Alex going back to German as he asked Nigel a question.
"Where are you taking us?" Alex asked.
"You were sent here to work and that's what you'll do!" Nigel shouted back.
Alex knew what this meant and it would most certainly end up with his demise…
And done!
Hope you guys enjoyed it!
And by the way, I can't actually do recreations of actual gameplay because there's hundreds of ways to play a game! Everyone likes to use different weapons, shot the enemies in a different order, grenade use, how many times you die, there's just too many factors!
However, just like this, gameplay that has a set order of actions or cutscenes I can most certainly do!
