In the first minute this video derails.

He's looking for craters of nuclear origin, but both sides mostly do _airbursts_ to reduce the radioactive material generated.

And honestly he talks about the people not being able to move a nuclear
bomb, when we have things like Stonehenge and the pyramids with rocks
that weight far more.

WTF is on his head?

You haven't convinced me that every nation does this. I can understand America or even Russia doing this, but the lasting damage would be
greater with "groundbursts"? A vindictive nation might not be so green-conscious. Do you think Iran cares which of the two they conduct
with a nuclear strike, since they have to work so hard just to get the
initial blast?

Hmm. 2019? Modern Warfare was a masterpiece at the time. I loved that
game. Doesn't entirely hold up, but it still is a very good game.

Then COD just went back to same-old same-old. Even MW2 wasn't up to
snuff. Modern Warfare was a commercial success, wasn't it?

Modern warfare pushed the limits. I mostly played Black Ops I & II and Rainbow Six: raven shield. I know I got 400 hrs in raven shield because
they set up a high score list online. That was really the first FPS I
latched onto. Something to do while I wasn't working after grad school.

If you want to occupy the ruins, airburst. If you want to salt the land
for 10,000 years, ground burst.

The last one I played was the original Modern Warfare released whenever
it was. I thought it was ok but by then it seemed to feel less like a
game and more like a cinematic experience. Since then it just feels as
the IP has been treading water (well except with the increasing
aggressive MTX) while raking in stacks of cash.

My favourite one is CoD I + expansion and I think a lot of that was due
it it being like Medal of Honour but just a lot better in its gameplay.

The cheating got fairly bad in CoD. Some kind of fire & forget cheat
like in the film Gamer. Cheating wasn't an issue in Raven Shield, but
there were players who would team kill sometimes. Also once I got booted
from a Raven shield server for having the pseudonym "Annakin Hitler".

I was once accused of cheating in Raven Shield and it bothered me. It
was just a hell of a shot, yet the other player wouldn't respect that.

Iran doesn't have nukes now, they sure as hell didn't have them 60 years
ago which is around the time Fallout's War happened.

Cold War = USA vs USSR and they do airbursts since a) it's more
effective at spreading damage and b) you cannot occupy territory and
finally "win" the war of ideologies when said territory kills you.

If you want real ground burst, in the 50's the British developed some prototypes for a nuclear mine. So literally bury them on the East
Germany border and if the Soviets attacked then detonate them. The idea
wasn't just to cause casualties but to deny a whole area as an avenue of advance due to the fallout.

As well as deny the Soviets a large number of new subjects.

Weren't these the ones that used live chickens as heaters? In order to
keep the electronics /just/ warm enough, buried as they were
underground and in the cold winter, the body heat of a chicken was
found to be sufficient. So the poor bird was buried beneath the earth
with enough food, water and air to survive for a week or so.

Or at least, that was the plan. I don't think any nuclear mines --chicken-powered or not-- were ever actually deployed.

Rumors that these spicy chickens were later re-deployed to Kentucky
under the command of a Colonel Sanders have been vigorously denied.
