Speaker A
We are Call of Duty players, and these are Royal Marine Commandos. We're competing in three different challenges to see which team actually has the better accuracy, tactics, and stealth. Starting with a paintball match in 3, 2, 1.
00:20
Speaker A
They're blanking right. Flanking right. As soon as the round started, the military were already pinning down my friend Gas.
00:32
Speaker A
They're flanking right. Flanking right. As soon as the round started, the military were already pinning down my friend Gas.
00:40
Speaker A
Give me cover. Give me cover. But what they didn't realize is over on the other side of the map, I had seen an opening.
00:50
Speaker A
I'm dead. I'm dead. I'm dead. Right. One down on the right. After only 10 seconds, the military had already taken one of us out and was starting to move in on us.
01:01
Speaker A
Getting pinned down here. Get the right fire down. But that's when this guy here decided to turn his attention from me to my friend Adam.
01:13
Speaker A
Give me cover. Give me cover. But what they didn't realize is over on the other side of the map, I had seen an opening.
01:28
Speaker A
[Music] Get hit. Get hit. Oh my god. Oh my god. Wait. Is it one v one?
01:38
Speaker A
Hit. Yes, I got one. Yes, it was now a 2v2. Whichever team wins the most challenges today will win a cash prize, kindly provided to us by War Thunder. But more on them later.
01:55
Speaker A
Pushing to you now, Dave. Left. Left. [Music] I run out of bullets. Oh, I'm out. No, I run out of bullets.
02:18
Speaker A
Getting pinned down here. Get the right fire down. But that's when this guy here decided to turn his attention from me to my friend Adam.
02:32
Speaker A
Now, with this map being way more complicated, the military instantly started mapping out locations.
02:37
Speaker A
Adam was gone, and it was now me on my own against the military. Now with a numbers advantage, the military weren't wasting any time.
02:45
Speaker A
I think it's safe to say they weren't taking us very seriously. But little did they know this time I had a plan of my own.
02:52
Speaker A
[Music] Get hit. Get hit. Oh my God. Oh my God. Wait. Is it one v one?
02:57
Speaker A
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. So this time with a strategy and a smoke grenade. Could this now be enough to beat them?
03:04
Speaker A
One v one. It was now me alone versus a Royal Marine. But now it was time for me to take the fight to them.
03:20
Speaker A
Oh, no. The smoke bomb didn't work. And with Jack and Adam under massive pressure from the military, I was panicking because I was really running out of time.
03:36
Speaker A
Pushing to you now, Dave. Left. Left. [Music] I run out of bullets. Oh, I'm out. No, I run out of bullets.
03:41
Speaker A
So, it seemed like my plan had worked for now because on the other side of the map, the military had shifted all of their focus on Adam.
03:48
Speaker A
So, the military won that game. Game one, that is, because the team to win paintball will be the first team to reach three wins. So, that being said, let's move on to game two.
04:04
Speaker A
I got one. I got one. With one of the military taken out, all we needed to do was take advantage of this situation.
04:12
Speaker A
Now, with this map being way more complicated, the military instantly started mapping out locations.
04:29
Speaker A
when I made my biggest mistake. Turning my back on a marine. With me taken out, it was now up to Jack.
04:41
Speaker A
You got radar, tanker, barrels, tent. Just remember, boys, aim for the drop. Drop a man quicker than their shots in this game.
04:56
Speaker A
Adam, watch out. Watch out. Oh, he's right there. Ow. I'm good. I'm good. Ow. Ow.
05:14
Speaker A
I think it's safe to say they weren't taking us very seriously. But little did they know this time I had a plan of my own.
05:22
Speaker A
So, we knew our strategy had to change. How would we let them come to us? That's what I'm thinking. could do that with this. We got a lot of cover.
05:28
Speaker A
I'm going to throw a smoke grenade on the left, and you guys flank around on the right. Catch them by surprise. We should win.
05:36
Speaker A
We were going to camp. Let's do it, boys. 3 2 1. As soon as the round started, we took our positions. Me on the left by the barrels, Jack in the center by the chopper, and Adam pushing up on the
05:50
Speaker A
Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. So this time, with a strategy and a smoke grenade, could this now be enough to beat them?
06:01
Speaker A
Move in. So far, they were taking unnecessary risks, and I thought our plan was starting to work. But something felt wrong, and I slowly realized I wasn't in control. I was being cornered.
06:19
Speaker A
Three, two, one, blank. As soon as the round started, I was immediately being flanked. So, if I was going to make this smoke grenade strategy work, I had to do it quick.
06:35
Speaker A
But now that I was back with my teammates, I went back to the original plan of camping and trying to lure them over.
06:49
Speaker A
Oh, no. The smoke bomb didn't work. And with Jack and Adam under massive pressure from the military, I was panicking because I was really running out of time.
07:12
Speaker A
Guns covering fire. Covering fire. Yes. With one of the military down, we now had the advantage. And it felt like we actually might have a chance to win this thing until dead.
07:33
Speaker A
As the smoke grenade went off, it filled the middle of the map, and the military was somewhat stopped in their tracks.
07:44
Speaker A
dead. It's not working. Dead. So, you're on your own, dude. I'm going. So, with Adam's gun not working, it was now a 2v2. And it looked like it could be over for us once again. But just as all hope was gone,
08:05
Speaker A
So, it seemed like my plan had worked for now because on the other side of the map, the military had shifted all of their focus on Adam.
08:10
Speaker A
Wait. No. That's what they want us to do. That's what they want us to do.
08:13
Speaker A
Right. Move in. Move in. Give me cover. Give me cover. Cover. Left cover. But what they didn't know is that Adam wasn't alone.
08:23
Speaker A
win around and bring us back into the game. But he wasn't there. I'm out. I'm out.
08:37
Speaker A
I got one. I got one. With one of the military taken out, all we needed to do was take advantage of this situation.
08:49
Speaker A
[Music] It's time to clutch up. [Music] I've been hit. They're so close. And that meant the military had won the paintball round.
09:14
Speaker A
Adam, push. Push. Adam. I'm covering you. Push. And with Adam now flanking, the military's attention was on him. I had one last look through the smoke and didn't see anyone pushing. So, I decided to go help Adam and Jack. But that's
09:18
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. But look, you might have had this, but that was that was kind of a given. Games is going to be a different story.
09:23
Speaker A
when I made my biggest mistake. Turning my back on a marine. With me taken out, it was now up to Jack.
09:30
Speaker A
For round two, it's time to step into our world for a game of Call of Duty.
09:34
Speaker A
Yo, watch out. Got him. Got him. Got him. After me and Jack got absolutely destroyed, it just left Adam who had no idea there was a marine coming up behind him.
09:44
Speaker A
I'm Aaron McKenzie. I served in the Roy Commandos for 6 years. Sorry for tactics. I don't think we have to rely on much tactics having seen the opponents.
09:52
Speaker A
Adam, watch out. Watch out. Oh, he's right there. Ow. I'm good. I'm good. Ow. Ow.
10:01
Speaker A
Oh, you ready? You ready to lose? You're in our world now. If we actually lose here, we have lost the entire video. There's no point in doing a round three.
10:08
Speaker A
Oh my God. With the military now winning two games, all they needed to do was win one more game to take home the point.
10:19
Speaker A
There he is. There he is. There he is. There we go. Let's go. Let's [Applause] That's one.
10:28
Speaker A
So, we knew our strategy had to change. How would we let them come to us? That's what I'm thinking. Could do that with this. We got a lot of cover.
10:41
Speaker A
tanks, ships, and planes, which are which I think are the funnest to play as. I don't know, I just I kind of like planes. And they have a massive library of military vehicles from the past 100 years to choose from, which you can then
10:53
Speaker A
We just stand here. Since our aggressive strategy didn't work, for our last chance, we decided to use the oldest trick in the book.
11:03
Speaker A
losing fuel. Like it's that level. I mean, to go a step further, it also has VR and simulator support if you want to take it to like to that level. If you want to go play War Thunder for
11:11
Speaker A
We were going to camp. Let's do it, boys. 3, 2, 1. As soon as the round started, we took our positions. Me on the left by the barrels, Jack in the center by the chopper, and Adam pushing up on the
11:22
Speaker A
pack, which includes things like a 50% XP and silver booster, premium vehicles, and 100,000 silver lines, which is the in-game currency. Anyways, back to the video. With Adam two points up, Aaron really needed to get back into the game.
11:35
Speaker A
right. Then we waited. At first, the military suspected something and were hesitant to push. But after a few minutes went by, they started to lose their patience.
11:44
Speaker A
Boom. That's what you get. Despite Adam's strong start, Aaron was back in the game. You see, even though Aaron didn't really know how to play the game that well, what he did know was tactics. And Adam was about to fall for
11:58
Speaker A
Move in. So far, they were taking unnecessary risks, and I thought our plan was starting to work. But something felt wrong, and I slowly realized I wasn't in control. I was being cornered.
12:09
Speaker A
And despite Adam getting one back, it wasn't enough. [Music] That was actually so bad. That was terrible.
12:29
Speaker A
I've got a good little angle on him. Just cover me from the front. [Applause] A paintball had hit the barrel and literally was so close to my face that the paint splattered onto my GoPro.
12:33
Speaker A
I've done nothing. Now it was Dave versus Jack. I'm Dave Jones. I was a corporal in the Royal Marines for 10 years. I think they're all wannabe boy band members that all probably still live at home with their mom.
12:43
Speaker A
But now that I was back with my teammates, I went back to the original plan of camping and trying to lure them over.
12:47
Speaker A
It's an alter ego that basically only does one thing. Destroys. Okay. Okay. Okay. We got to redeem this. Sorry. We cannot lose.
12:55
Speaker A
And then we waited very patiently for someone to make a move. With the military raining down fire, it was only a matter of time before they moved in again. But this time, I was ready.
13:03
Speaker A
[Laughter] With this loss, they decided to change their attack. Imagine if this was your job and you was you getting merked by a 36-y old father of four to do it.
13:25
Speaker A
Guns covering fire. Covering fire. Yes. With one of the military down, we now had the advantage. And it felt like we actually might have a chance to win this thing until dead.
13:38
Speaker A
Oh man, this FPS needs to sort itself out. I know. It's terrible. Look at him blaming the computer.
13:42
Speaker A
Oh dear. Adam hadn't got a kill all day. And with his gun not working, our numbers advantage was gone. So Jack gave up his position and headed over to see if there was anything he could do. No, my gun's
13:51
Speaker A
Yeah, Jack. That's all you need. That's all you need. That's a man that knows how to play.
13:57
Speaker A
dead. It's not working. Dead. So, you're on your own, dude. I'm going. So, with Adam's gun not working, it was now a 2v2. And it looked like it could be over for us once again. But just as all hope was gone,
14:16
Speaker A
Call of Duty pretty much professionally through lockdown. I'm going to get destroyed, right? Yeah. So, I'm up against one of the people who are actually just good at the game. No pressure.
14:26
Speaker A
that is 2 v one. 2 v one, Jack. Come on. A damn push up. Push up.
14:38
Speaker A
Lock. Come on. [Music] Easy. Easy. Okay. Had a little bit of a Now that I had got a kill, I was getting more into the zone.
14:52
Speaker A
Wait. No. That's what they want us to do. That's what they want us to do.
15:05
Speaker A
So sweaty. That's so sweaty. And just like that, I was one kill away from victory. But the military weren't going down without a fight.
15:15
Speaker A
I need to go there. I cover, you run. So, with a 2v1, our plan was to flank the van where he was hiding with a pincer movement. And once we had taken our positions, it was time to finally
15:25
Speaker A
I had to keep my concentration because straight away he pushed me again. Yes. The scores were now level. We had both won a round each in our perspective games. So, the winner of the cash prize was all going to come down to the final
15:52
Speaker A
win a round and bring us back into the game. But he wasn't there. I'm out. I'm out.
16:04
Speaker A
In this challenge, we'll have the entire map to choose an object and disguise ourselves as it. And if the military can find all three of us within 20 minutes, they'll win the cash prize. But if just one of us survives, then we'll win it.
16:16
Speaker A
Where's he at? You see, whilst me and Jack were coming up with a plan, he'd actually secretly fallen back to the map, taking me completely by surprise and leaving Jack on his own for a final one v one.
16:20
Speaker A
I don't know. Where do we hide? We have only got 10 minutes. So So no like messing around.
16:26
Speaker A
[Music] It's time to clutch up. [Music] I've been hit. They're so close. And that meant the military had won the paintball round.
16:32
Speaker A
Is that That's too bait. Yeah, that's too bait. Unfortunately, this was a terrible idea.
16:38
Speaker A
Morning, boys. Didn't go so well, did it? We're stepping into our world next time.
16:47
Speaker A
There's a lot of stuff we could hide in here. Oh, wait. Can you get in the top of that?
16:53
Speaker A
Yeah. Yeah. But look, you might have had this, but that was kind of a given. Game's going to be a different story.
17:00
Speaker A
That's a good spot. He wants Who wants it then? I'm too tall. It's just going to be me in it.
17:07
Speaker A
I have, um, what they call a life. Mr. Big over here. What I do is I go outside and you touch.
17:12
Speaker A
Okay, stand up. Stand up fully. Bro, that's incredible. I live here now. This is my life.
17:18
Speaker A
For round two, it's time to step into our world for a game of Call of Duty.
17:26
Speaker A
[Music] Oh, Jack. The helicopter. We got to try the helicopter. Yeah. Let's see if there's anywhere in there.
17:37
Speaker A
The rules are simple. Kill the opponent five times and win the match for your team. The first team to win two matches wins the challenge. And first up for the military is Aaron.
17:40
Speaker A
With time running out, we needed to find somewhere soon. So, I decided to check the van.
17:45
Speaker A
I'm Aaron McKenzie. I served in the Royal Commandos for six years. Sorry for tactics. I don't think we have to rely on much tactics having seen the opponents.
17:56
Speaker A
That's my hiding spot. But before I could hide, I needed to help Jack find a spot, too. Do I have any I can take off for now?
18:05
Speaker A
And up against him was Adam. My proudest game achievement is I have over a thousand hours in CS:GO. As you can tell, my life is very exciting.
18:20
Speaker A
Jack eventually decided that he did want to win. Okay. You ready? Yeah. Yeah, I guess so.
18:28
Speaker A
Oh, you ready? You ready to lose? You're in our world now. If we actually lose here, we have lost the entire video. There's no point in doing a round three.
18:34
Speaker A
Look at this little guy. Hello. I just uh Yeah, that's perfect. So, now that Jack was in position, I needed to get into mine because 10 minutes is up.
18:50
Speaker A
So, no, no pressure then. No pressure. No pressure. This was Adam's time to shine. All day he had taken L after L. But now, with a cash prize on the line, he had to perform.
19:06
Speaker A
But after just a few minutes, they realized they were wasting their time. There's nowhere nowhere really obvious on this map that they can hide. At the end of the day, boys, they're quite stupid. They'll go for something uh a
19:20
Speaker A
There he is. There he is. There he is. There we go. Let's go. Let's [Applause] That's one.
19:27
Speaker A
Barrels can shut here. Tell you what, man. These military guys have been able to come find us for like at least a few minutes now. I'm surprised they haven't made their way down here tactically.
19:41
Speaker A
And it wasn't long before Adam got another kill. Oh yes. Now, the whole reason why we've actually got a cash prize in this video is because of our friends at War Thunder, the most comprehensive vehicle combat game ever made, where you can control
19:48
Speaker A
Oh, [Music] this is the most relaxed I felt all day. At least here I can just chill and I know that even if they find me, they're going to shoot.
20:04
Speaker A
tanks, ships, and planes, which are, which I think are the funnest to play as. I don't know, I just, I kind of like planes. And they have a massive library of military vehi...
20:11
Speaker A
So, I really need to win this. Really need to prove to everyone that I can do this.
20:21
Speaker A
Be advised, we have a visual on enemy paratroopers. If you look now, see all the barrels?
20:27
Speaker A
There's real scope. They're one of them. At least two of them could be in the barrels.
20:30
Speaker A
Right, lads. Game over. You come out. That's it, lads. Time. Think that will work.
20:40
Speaker A
[Music] [Music] Let's [Music] game boys. That was terrifying. All the way to the Okay.
21:20
Speaker A
I'm just going to make it a little bit harder for them to uh actually get me.
21:24
Speaker A
Got to make it look like there's been no one here. Okay. Can I Oh, hang on. Oh my god.
21:33
Speaker A
Oh my god. I can move the seat forward. And then if I move that seat forward, put Oh my god, that's perfect. So, now that I had my trap set in place, I went and climbed back up into my spot.
21:46
Speaker A
At any point they could be walking down the aisle. Oh god. Oh god. What was that? Oh no. Oh no. There's a wasp in here with me. That's a big killed both of them. Oh no. There's another one. There's got to be a wasp
22:10
Speaker A
nest in here somewhere. There's There's three wasps now. Dead. But now that they were dealt with, I realized my hiding position has been compromised.
22:19
Speaker A
Oh no no no no no. I got to get up there. I'm going to get back up in now. I can hear them properly now.
22:27
Speaker A
They're going to find Dan. Oh, they're definitely going to find Dan. Dan's lowkey in the worst spot.
22:40
Speaker A
See if you can get in the back of that van. I'm heading into the fora [Music] that they had just walked straight past and were now wasting their time looking in the complete wrong spot. However, they weren't all completely off track.
23:15
Speaker A
That's time, boys. You can come out. Don't trick me. I'm saying that's time, boys. Come out.
23:24
Speaker A
Have you checked the vehicles? Yeah, the vehicles are all empty. So, they decided to leave except for one.
23:37
Speaker A
They had now walked right by us for a second time. Remaining be upon this Olympian.
23:48
Speaker A
With not long left, me and Jack were feeling super confident. However, Adam Well, Adam didn't really have much to say on the matter. Little did he know though, the military were heading his way. But I was about to stop them in
24:01
Speaker A
their tracks to deliver a very important message. Uh, I just want to let you know, Dave, you're you're a massive Oh, yeah. Really?
24:09
Speaker A
Yeah. You can't find me. We'll come and find you in a second. You can tell it to my face.
24:18
Speaker A
But my smile wasn't going to last very long. You see, because we were at the 10-minute mark, the military were now going to get told of every map that we weren't located in, which narrowed it down to just two maps
24:32
Speaker A
with two coming back towards me and Jack. and Dave headed for Adam. Now you're in here.
24:47
Speaker A
Whilst Dave was close to finding Adam, though, another military member was close to finding me.
24:54
Speaker A
[Music] [Music] Yes, Hey, this is difficult. [Music] And to make matters worse, another military member completely missed me straight after. But Lori was not ready to give up searching this map just yet.
25:57
Speaker A
[Music] Uh, best for it to win. They need to win something. The only way I can see that they're doing this is if they were out loud.
26:19
Speaker A
It was at this moment though Dave discovered a handful. Oh no. You get Oh god. No. That's it. I'm gone.
26:36
Speaker A
I'm gone. No. With Adam being caught, it made it way more difficult for us to win. But over by me and Jack, things were about to get a whole lot worse.
26:48
Speaker A
I just heard someone say power rules. I don't want to say bar rolls. With how many times they went past Jack, we didn't think they would go for the barrels at all. But suddenly everything that Jack said before, he now
27:04
Speaker A
started to regret. idiots stupid. [Music] No no. Unlucky, lad. Oh, there you go. Have you got anyone else?
27:44
Speaker A
No, you're first. I think I'm first. You're taking the P. I cannot believe I got caught first, to be honest. I missed tetanus. Uh I got my leg cramp. There was some spiders. The size of that spider, mate.
27:57
Speaker A
Oh my god. Got to hope that the rest of the boys can uh stay hidden long enough.
28:01
Speaker A
But little did Jack myself know that Adam had already been caught. So that meant it was all left up to me.
28:13
Speaker A
If I pull through this, this will be the best hide and seek place. Seems like And while the pressure was getting to me, my heart is beating so loudly right now.
28:34
Speaker A
Things were about to get a lot more difficult. Recharging you, boys. Where are you now? With 1 minute remaining, I had all three military members searching right next to me.
28:45
Speaker A
And if I get caught now, everything I've done in this video would have been for nothing.
29:05
Speaker A
[Music] That is game. Where did I go? Oh my god. You know what? You should be part of the military.
29:23
Speaker A
So, with us winning the final round, we were going to walk away with the cash prize, right? Why is the music changed?
29:31
Speaker A
Well, you see, this video hasn't been 100% truthful. So far, everything you've seen in this video has been completely real. The paintball matches, this moment in hideand-seek, which I'm still not sure how he didn't see me, but there was
29:44
Speaker A
one moment in the gaming round where uh you see, I didn't win. For some reason, our laptop was lagging horribly. And the military's laptop was running super smooth. We think it was a connection issue, but the round I verse Lori, he
29:58
Speaker A
actually beat me. You see, what we showed was us swapping laptops after the game to see if there was a lag issue.
30:03
Speaker A
And obviously now with their laggy laptop, I was going to beat him. So, yes, the military actually won the gaming round. And they're actually quite good at gaming, just not hideand-seek, apparently. With that being said, it was time to give them that prize.
30:16
Speaker A
All right. Fair play, guys. Well, you do well. Since you won fair and square, we have a nice little surprise for you. Go.
