- You don't carry a syringe,

Hey, I'm Jonathan, I'm a marine,
I was in for five years
and I was a ground support equipment mechanic,
and today I'm gonna be reviewing war video games.
Being a marine is just,
a bunch of brothers and sisters that
work together, really closely.
Everyone is a rifleman, but, at the same time,
everyone has a secondary job,
and we just work together to accomplish the mission.
I used to play Call of Duty back in the day,
there's certain points that are realistic,
most of it is supposed to be over the top,
I think that's what makes you wanna play the game
no one wants to be hiding in a corner
thinking everything through, it's more of a rush and attack
and get the points for the team.
I'm ready to go, let's do it.
(gunfire, explosions)
So I don't know about the other people,
but this guy I do see that he's waiting?
It's a good thing, he's not just
well, you do see him rushing a little bit
but at least he's taking some of his time.
When you're in combat, you're usually gonna
try to be in a four man group,
you're gonna go through each house separately,
you're not just gonna be running in circles
cause that's how you're gonna get found,
so you're gonna go find an entrance,
go through a building, make sure it's clear
and move on to the next.
Just jumping out like that
you're gonna damage your legs.
Especially doing that all the time.
I mean, in an emergency, I could see trying to do it
but you're never gonna land like that,
you wanna be able to roll in a way where
your shoulder loses the impact,
and it's not going all straight to your knees.
That's a little bit outlandish, I mean,
there's some times you're gonna see stuff like fire
I mean, the enemy, especially in the countries
where we're at right now, they do have RPGs and such
so when those do go off, you do see fire.
But I don't think you're ever gonna be in a
place like this where there's ammo all over the place,
and just a turret just standing in the middle.
What I do like about this part is,
everyone is separated,
as to where if a grenade did go off
it wouldn't kill everyone, it'd just get one person.
The biggest thing with Call of Duty is
the amount of ammo that you see them shooting.
In the military, weapons don't have full automatic,
it's all single or burst, meaning three shots.
You wanna conserve your ammo cause
you don't have unlimited supply,
you don't have uh, cargo or anything dropping by
giving you ammo, so, you wanna conserve
everything that you've got,
and only use it when you really have to.
(helicopter rotors whirring)
So this looks more like a special ops team.
You're not gonna see just infantry going out and
doing this kind of work at night.
(explosion, gunfire)
Like I said, I don't,
I don't know if they had intel or not,
but you don't wanna just go busting in like that.
Could've damaged a causality right there,
especially with that grenade
or whatever that might have been.
How she survived, I'm not sure.
So I do like how they're all communicating,
they're following the enemy but at the same time
they're being cautious, they're not just running
like in the Call of Duty game
where they're just, don't care about their lives.
They're actually thinking about it
and taking it step by step.
This is definitely more realistic.
You wanna be moving, you always want the last
person in the back always keeping watch of the back.
Someone's in the front, you're moving slowly,
and like I said, the person in the back
you always want them to be looking back
every couple steps.
This is really high tech. I wish we had this, but,
I've never seen anything like this before.
I know they did start implementing the
drones that we see flying now.
As for these little robots that just go under doorways,
that would've been awesome.
(glass breaking)
So that's a jump that I said,
jumping from that altitude right there,
you're sure to break some,
some bones in,
in your legs.
Also planes going at that low of an altitude,
you have to be very experienced to do something like that.
And even if you were, there's really no reason to.
The only time you're at a low altitude like that
is if you have like, someone that's attacking you,
meaning like, missiles and stuff.
It's not realistic to jump into a place
just where you know you're gonna be surrounded,
sometimes the enemy will flank you
and you'll be attacked from the side.
It's a trailer, it's supposed to pump you up
which, I think it did very good
but most of that, if all of that isn't really realistic.
You're never gonna wanna be in that circumstance.
I know I wouldn't.
(gunfire)
I think the adrenaline kicks in sometimes
and sometimes you don't notice that kind of stuff,
so that is a little bit realistic.
Also, you gotta understand that most of the places
where you go, the enemy isn't trained like we are.
Should've definitely had a buddy
help him out there, though.
(gunfire)
So right there, the way he positioned himself
where he's low, and he has a good, point of view,
it's great, something that I would try to do.
Yeah, you're not gonna see anyone jumping for joy
in war, looking for someone.
Gonna move very cautiously.
And you're not gonna run into a smokescreen either,
that's just looking for trouble.
You wanna be patient, that's the main thing.
You gotta remember that it's your life that's at stake,
and you don't just wanna
run out there and finish it.
But they're all, oh.
He would've been dead if he shot him in the back like that.
Adrenaline happens, but you have to communicate,
and something like that wouldn't happen.
You're always talking to each other,
you're set in a position,
that's the main reason you wanna be in a position,
to make sure you're that not doing friendly fire.
Probably the least realistic one that I've seen so far,
people are just jumping and you just see people
running into fires, running to smokescreens,
they're just running to get the objective done.
So here you see him running, and every few steps
he's checking his surroundings.
It's what you wanna be doing.
This looks like a drone?
Personally never seen any of this, but,
would've been a great help.
Knowing where the, where the enemy is, it's key.
Here you can see that he's by himself,
so he knows that he doesn't have any backup,
and he knows that he only has the ammunition
he carried with him,
so you don't want to be using all the ammunition.
Also, another main reason why he's not
just firing crazy is because
he's trying to not let anyone find him.
Going in like Rambo, that's a sure way
for everyone to find you and just attack you at once.
When we're out on the field we're, we're wearing our camo.
But it also varies on where you're at.
He's in a more urban place, so I guess
it's okay for him to wear a shirt.
You don't carry a syringe,
every, every team has a medic
and they're gonna have some things,
but all they're really gonna have is some
gauze instead, like if you get shot to plug it up,
but no, there's no syringe like that.
Best thing we can do for you is Tylenol.
I think overall it's, more fun than anything.
If you were to play it how we were taught,
you wouldn't see a lot of people playing it.
You wanna get the most kills in the game
and that's not gonna happen if you play it the way we do.
It's all good fun, but it's,
I wouldn't say it's close to the real thing,
but close enough.
