I've already seen this mission being analyses by several experts, Marines, Navy Seals and Green Berets, but a guy that is actually SAS gives a very accurate perspective to it.

[johngarry]

He could have chose any other spot in his house for the interview, yet he displays his undying love for his wife behind him. Served his country, family man. A good lad all around

[starstreakalex]

I love how he's even criticising the blind throwing of stun grenades into rooms, because there have been cases where young children have been killed by the detonation of stun grenades.

[BennyH]

This guy held the highest soldier rank in the SAS. A genuine badass.

[jackd]

Love seeing the actual SAS veteran notice and talk about things that other people who reacted to this video didn't.

We needed an SAS reacting to an SAS mission and we finally got it

[seth]

His reaction was split second. When the guy burst in the room and was shot by the player, Billy, less than half a second later said "Yeah, fair enough." Like he had assessed the danger and would have taken the shot himself in that amount of time.
Completely focused.

The problem with missions like this; is that it's rather dependant on how the player is playing as to whether the experience is immersive or gamey to a certain degree.

[AliChitax]

Captain Price just got called a rookie for not looking at the right direction lol 2:00

[lnufc]

For anyone outside the UK, he is on a show called SAS: Who Dares Wins. Worth the watch if you haven’t seen it, there has been a load of seasons already 👍

[StevenGarcia-imrr]

I wonder if the developers knew just how much this one mission would be analysed. I've seen so many takes from various people in SF and military in general that obviously CoD really hit something with this.

[dwrabauke]

Man. This was intense.
Most of us just are keyboard warriors playing our SAS fantasy, this guy has done it all and then some; men like him are the real deal and I never get tired hearing their stories.
Watching him analyze and picking the mission apart with all his knowledge, and only coming up with some minor details to criticize really shows how well made this missioin was.

[WombDaTomb]

I love the honesty, in a lot of other videos I see they say "this wouldn't happen" or "we would never do that" but Billy is honest and like he says when SHTF these things do happen

[archer]

That final room, when she's seemingly pleading with them then lunges for a weapon and they shoot her, he immediately just says 'Fair game.' You know he's already worked it out and would have done the exact same thing were the situation real. I love these videos with Billy, getting actual expert insight into the realism and inaccuracies is fascinating.

[broyds]

Billy is involved in a British TV show called SAS who dares wins. Its got a bunch of SAS soldiers including Billy who send ordinary civilians through SAS training and selection and see how they handle it. Guessing a lot of Americans haven't heard of it, if it doesn't air in the states, but if you can find it give it a watch, it's brilliant!

[HansHammertime]

Haha, he gives us a lot of “benefits of the doubt”

He’s being really polite

[HEREONOUTBAILEY]

Absolutely love Billy. I was lucky enough to spend the day with him in my studio earlier this year to shoot his portrait. Billy is one of the most interesting and humble achievers I have ever had in front of my camera. The stories Billy shared about his life were I just incredible! If you ever get a chance to see his live show, I thoroughly recommended it 👌🏼

[steveahern]

The fact he’s been through this is mad! Love this guy

[captaindelta]

Billy is an absolute legend. Honestly loved his analysis of the game . We need more of him

[LETMRU]

Modern Warfare really blew everyone's expectations away. Infinity Ward just made Call of Duty relevant again and I can't wait for the upcoming one
