Why Was Call of Duty: World At War SO AWESOME?!

- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- With COD: WWII being such a massive disappointment in the eyes of many fans, I thought it would be great to look back at the last Call of Duty game set in World War II. Could the secret to COD's success be found in here? Is the game as good as we might remember? Well there's only one way to find out...

The Act Man hey, this video isnt appearing in your channel or my subscription feed. the only way i can access it is through the notifications
Hey Act Man, whats your all time favourite COD?
The Act Man Yo i just watched this as soon as it came up at 35 views, i agree that this one of the best realistic games cod has put out. But it does have itx flaws but maybe t hat old 360 controller noy being as responsive as used to be. I have a suggestion for future video, Medal of Honor series if you can. Or have any past expetience with it. Thank you, if you read this.
The Act Man aye the vid we needed you tell them how it is act man 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I also must add most of those russian scenes where they are brutal, are actually choices Chermov's Diary at the end will explain your charecter for making those desicions. " Someone should read this. "
Cod WWII: Realistic graphics
Cod WAW: Realistic.
CoD WWII doesn't even have realistic graphics. :)
@@IAMBIGJ745 true
DER VERRÜCTE SPATENWAHNSINNIGE yeah it looks too bright and nice instead of bleak and depressing
Clown comments the same game
With female soldiers fighting
With prosthetic arms?
Clown comments yet your on a cod video
Back when “Rated M for Mature” was the real deal
This was my all time favorite CoD, and I started in the early online days of CoD 4. I did not enjoy the transition into flying 69 no scoping 420 blaze it intervention MW2 trash. It was fun but it ruined the game.
The greatest thing about WAW in the UK is that it is pretty much the only COD that got an age "15" certificate rather than an "18" despite being one of the goriest and scariest in the series lol
Nowadays the ESRB age rating is just a logo on the front cover of every game
To day they are too scared to show us the the nazi flag (btw forgot the name of the flag lol)
@@germanplayer69420 nah they still do that shit but now they have to put in minority soldiers and women soldiers and eventually trans soldiers
Out of all the COD games, this game is the one that deserves a remaster. Everything can stay the same, just upgrade the graphics, I'd even pay full price for that.
Not going to happen while the West has a Hate Boner for Russia
@@TOTN17 its good to have dreams, even if they are pipedreams.
5:00
I got 2 copies for my 360..👍
I actually enjoy it with a lot of it being the Wii/PS2 graphics. Of course I can see why some would want remakes since there are old games I'd want remade like as long as the general look remains I'd love a remake of Spy vs Spy. Also to clarify yes I did play WAW on PS2 and BO on Wii.
That part where Reznov took Chernov's diary and said that someone should read it, tears tread down my cheeks. They didnt try too hard to make Chernov that much of a noticeable character, yet you can still cry for him. And then COD WWII just tried too hard to create characters with deep back stories but no soul. I couldnt care less if Daniels shoot the wolves or his brother, i dont really care.
even i felt that, and i only know of this game through this video.
@@vizthex I recommend playing it. I occasionally bust out my old ps3 just to play this campaign
I agree except for the fact that Daniels is one of the best protagonists in cod
@@madcracker8077 which game was he in
At least everyone will never forget chernov as he will also be the fact of our favourite drunken zombie killer
Back when cod had the balls to put Hitler's face in a ww2 game
More like back when you didnt need balls to do so...
Alpha Express that’s also very true. You didn’t need courage to do this because no one even cared.
@@shellshockedant2356 such a shame. Honestly such a shame..
did that change? i havent followed the history if cod
@@ericg1100 not its gaming in general.
The censorship of historical events pisses me off the most about these games.
It’s a bad thing to try and change history.
Legion they removed the nazi sign as well
The basically censored so many stuff to please sjws, and basically I'm wondering if Activision or sjws ever heard this quote, "Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it"
The scary thing is that Germany is building up it's military
@@dagreenbolt9169 I too learn all my history from fictional video games.
@@flakmag1004 Modern Germany is literally the last country on Earth that would go Nazi, so I wouldn't be too worried.
in my opinion, the best aspect of COD WAW is that you're not a military badass, you're just somebody who answer the call of duty to serve in military on an ongoing war, and you're not become a strong military badass, you simply become battle harden through the fight, that's the core that makes the character in WAW is different compare to newer title, like modern warfare 3
That's the thing I like about Miller and Dimitri both got captured yet they still go out and fight hell they've even had instances where they almost die due to an enemy trying to kill them yet they somehow survive
@@Miltypooh2001 Even better, they survive through realistic means relying on both the actions of others and you, the player's, skill and cunning. The game is difficult. Insanely difficult. I remember playing and beating veterans difficulty and it was simultaneously the most exhausting and proud thing I've done in my gaming "career." Mainly because of the fact that you had to persevere through the hellish nadespam and enemy wave tactics until you get a perfect run and reach a checkpoint or two.
That difficulty probably helps the most, it works to humanize the actions of your otherwise unknown comrades like Chernov or Roebuck. Especially when they seem to actually have decent (at least for the time period) AI that helps you somewhat through tougher spots.
That also works to humanize Dimitri and Miller.
Instead of trying to throw some crappy exposition, they're getting thrown around in a warzone and have little quips and snarky remarks that add a bit to their characters without forcing you through a modern day Hamlet when all you wanna do is shoot some damn Nazis.
@Miltypooh2001 Miller was also in the 1st Marine Division a unit that was legendary both in WW2 and Korea
@@gamerraider889yer veteran mode was seriously hardcore back then you pretty much had to know everything off by heart creeping between cover to make ground
All the CODs prior where just like that. Hell, MW straight up kills the Marine protagonist you where playing as
I always found another part of WaW that gave a lot of depth and made you think about the horrible actions of warfare is in Chernov's perception of you shown at the beginning of the last mission as his diary is read. There are three different lines that can play, they all start out with:
"April 30, 1945: When he first spoke of Dimitri, Reznov told tales of a hero, someone we should all aspire to be like."
But depending on how merciless you have been during the campaign it will give a different ending:
"His bravery on the battlefield is beyond question, but he has also shown mercy amidst the brutality of the Red Army. He is indeed a hero."
"At times, I have seen him show mercy, and at others, complete brutality. I do not understand him. Perhaps heroes need not question their actions."
"His merciless brutality defines him only as a savage, just like the rest of the Red Army. He is no hero."
If you've been doing as Reznov says and killed surrendered and wounded Germans then it makes you regret how you've acted, which is quite a powerful thing for a game to do.
The beginning part of a mission where Dimitri is rescued has a bit of a mixed message. Resnov tells Chernov to shoot the wounded men who are dying, yet Chernov says that they're already bleeding to death. So, Resnov tells us (the player) to make them bleed faster.
Wouldn't killing them be more of a mercy killing? I mean, they're dying from bleeding, and it must be painful. I've always felt that leaving them to die from the bleeding is a bit of a worse fate. But then again, maybe it's just the moral code not to kill an unarmed man.
"His merciless brutality defines him only as a savage, just like the test of the Red Army. He is no hero."
If I was there at that time, and Chernov said this directly to my face, I'll refute his claim and ask him this:
"Did the Nazis show mercy, even to the helpless ones like the elderly, the women, and, most importantly, the innocent children, when they invaded the Motherland and massacred our brethren? They grazed the Motherland just so that they could recover from their humiliation, and you're telling me that I am a savage? I'm just being fair; they ravaged the defenseless in our soil, we'll do the same to them".
@@christophergepullano9029 Then that would still make you a savage. Just because the Germans were savages that doesn't mean you aren't one.
@@christophergepullano9029 You would be doing the same thing that the Nazis were doing then and claim to be their superior. The real question you have to ask yourself is how do you get justice without becoming a momster yourself.
@@christophergepullano9029 ah they old Eye for an Eye, to paraphrase a quote, Eye for an Eye only means we all become blind.
World at war: deep history
WW2: Train go boom
Ww2 gets too much shit in my opinion. It was too politically correct, but is was very cool. Also, it tells history aswell and the d-day mission gives you the chills. People jumped on the hate-train with no super valid reason
@@arie8515 Ww2 wasn't that bad at all. I think it was decent for a game as a whole. Sure, it wasn't like WaW as others say but as long as it's World War 2 and you shoot Nazi scums, I'm totally fine with it
We wanted another gritty world at war not another cheesy cod
Is the “train go boom” a reference to his Black Ops 3 vid? If so, I just got done watching that one
@Soap Mactavish Still, shoot Nazis, boom I consider it a WW2 game... no matter what. Call me an idiot but I don't care
This game scared me as a child. Now I have nothing but respect for it.
No offense, but that's good. A war game is supposed to be scary.
Playing the first two zombie maps at night when I was 11 used to scare the shit outta me
CLB this game didn’t scare me in 2008
Yes brother
Pretty sure this scared a lot of us as kids
What I love about World at War is that you don't play as some special operator doing special things. You play as a grunt to experience all the horrible, degrading, demoralization of war. No special attention is given to you, no crazy attachment/customization systems. This is war, war is hell, this is hell.
The cutscenes with actual executions was always the ballsiest thing to me. It really makes you appreciate that you can sit outside of it and experience it through a masterpiece of a video game.
Yeah. Idk how they got away with that. That's like AO rating territory
@@alexsilva28they got away with it because it was real, and you should always be able to ‘get away’ with truth, brutal as it may be
New Cod games: “Yeah war is totally cool, come be a badass with us”
WaW: “After this you’ll never want to even think about war”
@Rafael Gonzalez but MW2 still told a memorable and great fucking story at least.
The new MW takes balls, and it's as amazing as CoD 4.
The story and gameplay from WaW was amazing but also shared me the terrors and horrors the people had to do. Even if they are alive now or dead
Not just that but it will regret yourself on joining the Army
You’ll get PTSD
Right? Burning your enemies alive with a flamethrower and seeing there Chard remains made you wonder shit I didn't expect this to happen
Imagine a World at War remaster with Modern Warfare 2019 graphics
And imagine how much space it would take lol
With the original graphics updated, yes.
Isn't it just ww2 but just not a disappointment
Wouldn't happen the game would get cancelled right away for the intro
@@PF_29 lmao facts
Both this video and game have aged so well
Fuck your feelings! You’re gay!
I couldn’t agree with you more
Fun fact, the Zombies characters’ original models were all ripped straight from the campaign. Tank Dempsey is just Polonsky, Richthofen is General Amsel from Vendetta, Nikolai is Chernov, and Takeo is the Japanese Officer from the beginning
Wack. 🙌🏻
Oh cool, I didn't know that. It's great to see so much of the DNA of WAW survives in the other games
Do you guys remember the Veteran difficulty in WaW? How every Nazi has a limitless pocket of grenades and the throwing arm of an NFL quarterback?
I remember that.
That cost me about 40 ragequits
And they had the accuracy of all gods in the universe combined
Yes, that was impossible. I got up to their land, their blood before quitting. Capturing those bunkers, was impossible
The satisfaction of completing it though :O How bad was that flamethrower level on veteran.
Oh man dark souls looked mediocre to that shit haha.
Naustix Not all germans were Nazis they were just german soldiers. 🤦♂️
Take out those fucking pt boats!
Some “Japanese” Soldiers might say “Api” when lit on fire instead of “Kasai” (the Japanese word for fire) api means fire in Indonesian. This means the Japanese soldiers forcefully conscripted the Indonesians to fight for them.
It's api not apai, lol

That 2003 to 2010 era is always going to be unmatched and LEGIT, the big red one was such a good game. (Cod 2). Shit is insane how much history is actually based in this games.

Entrance of The Reichstag, SS Troopers slaughtering Red army with granades on Veteran difficulty.
that sniper mission alone turned me into a half decent sniper. Without it I would still be learning in bo4 and MW how to lead shots and hit horizontal moving
Took me three days to beat
As a history buff, I also appreciate the fact that the game actually brings attention to the fact that Imperial Japan was just as horrible as the Nazis during this time, while at the same time not resorting to racism to do that.
It showed the true nature of the war. I wish we could play as the axis soldiers to see things from their perspective though.
@@sponge5196 and not only that they also added some gore effects on the soldier's body. Making it more realistic that shows how gruesome the war truely is. Not just some ragdoll that's just tossed around when shot and painted it red its just ughhhh
@@8bitPotatoPC-544 yeah but I kinda wish they remade WAW so they can put in Euphoria physics for when you kill someone. Like the ragdoll physics in RDR2 ya know? But it's just my silly opinion
As well as portraying the Russians as bloodthirsty.
Yes, they did lose a lot - but they were still bloodthirsty at the end of the war; just like in-game.
YES I am a history nerd and it sucks when ever I hear people taulking praises about Japan, LOOK EVERYONE SUCKED
My biggest pet peeve has to be the new war quotes when you die. They must be running out of quotes as I've noticed more and more the quotes have been from characters in the game you're playing
“There are only so many quotes that can relate to a particular matter until it doesn’t matter if they are made up or not.” -Choop McDooglerdoof
There was a level of respect for the past World at War had that new Call of Duty games simply don't have. It also showed the horrors of war without trying to glorify it. My brother and I still play the campaign on co-op and have an absolute blast.
Because WaW did not censor everything!
Or try to be fucking pc
Einar Figueras or blow his head off like a melon. Metal AF.
I wished for a but more of the Japanese brutality but I agree

I would pay $100 to play a remastered campaign of this game, no joke.
I'd pay $1000 to play cod waw remastered with multiplayer, zombies and no loot boxes and micro transactions with new weapons
@@tob.meister It'd be awesome, but media nowadays would get so offended with the game (swastikas, massive violence, politically offensive) if it would be re released as a remastered. Activision must have the BALLS they've had in the past to remaster and release cod waw to the public. They'd probably censor the swastikas like they did in cod ww2 by replacing it with Iron crosses.
id hive my life for that shit, its proper art

Beating World at War on Veteran and getting the platinum for the game is still one of my most crowning achievements in my personal gaming career. Knowing how difficult it was, and having the tenacity, knowledge, and skill to bust through it was a great feeling when I saw and heard that trophy ding on screen. Pretty sure elations were had that day.
Agreed dude! Getting that platinum was what turned my teen self into a man! To this day I don't think no shooter has challenged me more than beating Heart of the Reich on vet 😅 damn 'nades
I could never get the trophy for taking down 45 zero’s unfortunately
I hate myself enough to go through that, plus the Steam version does not have achievements so I'm good
I first played WaW on the midnight release when I was 13. I played on veteran and completed every mission bar the last 2. I ended up going back through on regular due to absolute loss of sanity. I left veteran in the past and tried to regain some sanity. Now, 15 years later, on January 10th 2024 as I approach my 29th birthday…. I have completed the whole damned game on veteran. Jesus.
Player: **decides to play on Hardened / Veteran**
German and Japanese Army: Okay men, you are all now equipped with 200 grenades each.
Run
You either stay behind cover and get blown up, or run to another place only to see another grenade waiting for you there.
Hardened was the perfect sweet spot in terms of difficulty. Veteran was just plain stupid because of the endless grenade spam.
The sniper part in Vendetta is stressful truth is I'm playing World At War on veteran along with the rest of COD games is for trophies.

When Reznov said, "As long as HE lives, the heart of this army cannot be broken." I realized that after BO1 and the death of Dmitri in the Nova 6 flashback it foreshadowed the fall of CoD.
It all makes sense now
The soundtrack is really good after he said it sad that they're rushing everything now
BO2:am I a joke? To you??
@@u.nforcesalx9892 never played it never will but it has some pretty good storyline
@@u.nforcesalx9892 I loved BO3 as well. Shit campaign but fun multiplayer, relatively balanced DLC weapons compared to AW and IW, 11/10 zombies, and fun bonus modes like DO2 and nightmares.
The first time I played CoD:WaW was a Gamestop copy on a hand-me-down X-Box with a shitty old TV. The brightness was way down from what it was supposed to be, so when I played Black Cats, the sky was dark, the sea was dark, and most of what you could make out was burning fuel and gun flashes. It was terrifying.
I just recently did the campaign again on veteran, but I tried something different this time. Normally I'm being a bit careful, I fear for my life, I conserve ammo (I made myself a rule to only use allied weapons). I started using suppressive fire and pushing tactics. It went like a dream.

RIP Petrenko
"Dimitri Petrenko was a hero... He deserved a hero's death. Instead of giving his life for the glory of the motherland, he died for nothing... like an animal. He should have died in Berlin..."

Reznov saw his death upclose
He survived the terror of the grenades on Berlin, won a sniper duel, survived a massacre...
Only to die from some fart smoke
Drachovinch,krevchinco,
Steiner these "men" must die
I remember getting scared of the main menu as a kid, I barely brought myself to hit start
Why the music?
Instead of barely bringing myself to hit start I used to quickly start the game and play the campaign as soon as possible so I couldn’t listen to the scary music
@@brownbastard3810 I was scaried even when the Thumbnail of the game appears on my Xbox 360 back in that time, imagine playing him...
Boba Fett i muted the sound when i was in the lobby
The music was in german, the woman was singing "Sterbt mit mir" wich literaly means "Die with me"
Disturbing indeed
This game brings so many memories, as a teen I played the campaign dozens of times. And when I was older, my best friend and I would hang out, burn some bush, and play Der Reise for hours. With the two of us, our highest score was round 32.
But personally, I like Nacht Der Untoten better.
World at War is literally one of the best Ww2 shooters out there the sound design, the atmosphere, the music, and zombies!
The western front is so over saturated, it was nice to see the pacific front covered. We need more games in the pacific
Medal of Honor Pacific Assault. Awesome game.
RUclips Security Squad I agree, the WW2 market sells the same old stories, I want to take on the desert fox, now that I would buy
actingamer101 made my first video
It focuses on the fronts that most media doesn't cover as much, Eastern front and Pacific. And they did an amazing job at it. I find it bullshit that the media doesn't even give much attention to the front that turned the tide of the war. But no, let's make 100 games about D-day and 1944 when the war was already determined.
We had the British Marine Corps in Burma and Indonesia, the Chinese Army in IndoChina, and the US Army and Marines in Guadalcanal. A full game set in the Pacific would be awesome.
Last Call Of Duty that felt like an actual war.
Midnight don’t leave out black ops 1
Black ops 1was the last good one tho
VoidX the last mission is a bit on the weak side. I mean invading a Russian submarine base by your self, would be suicide no matter what you do.

Dear Act Man,
This was the very first video I found of your videos, and ever since I watched this video I loved your channel. I keep watching this video because it’s really funny and I love your humor. Being honest when I saw this video recommended for me I didn’t know what to expect and I’m really glad I watched. I just wanted to say that I love this video and keep up the great work
Sincerely
SouthernIdahobugs,
P.S. i don’t exactly remember when I first watched this video
Actman Is garbage fr
As soon as the zombies mode came up the first time i literally exited the game i was so scared. Refused to play it for so long until i had friends to play with.
I know this is an old video, but that moment when Reznov is scolding a soldier for taking time to write in a journal, but after he dies he takes the time to pick up the journal saying “someone should read this...” really hit me hard. Like throughout the game his moral standing is deteriorating, but that moment gives a glimpse into his humanity and reminds us that soldiers are just people at the end of the day.
It’s moments like these that make the game so memorable for me.
Penny and trans
War wakes men monsters
The United States Of America it does. But I still think it was important for this game to have glimpses into the humanity of soldiers as a lot of games just have them act like mindless killing machines
Penny and Trans
That is very true
Hit a no scope on the mission with the sniper rifle
that's a good point I missed..and I just replayed the campaign people in this company gave into there greed so I dont feel they would ever consider that again in a character development in the series or more In depth
The intro to WAW literally made me thought I was watching a documentary
RiSe Typhoon WYM?! Documentary’s are epic
@@flynncarter229 true, wish they were like COD
You kind of were it was like a playable documentary
In David Attenborough's new documentary we see Japanese soldiers hiding in tree's and in the grass, and hang people that step out of cover eventually blowing them up, on the Russian side of things...
Think*
what separates WaW from the rest is that you're not playing to be a hero but for survival, from beginning to end
Damn, that quote from Tim O'Brien is honestly some of the best texts I've ever read. It couldn't carry more harsh truth to it and WAY too many people could, and really SHOULD learn something big from it.
Yo I never realized the “no one will ever read this” and “someone should read this”
That deepens the story so much
It shows Resnov's true care for his soldiers.
I replayed the game recently and noticed that Reznov would shout "We need a medic" every time one of your comrades were shot and killed, it's especially noticeable on higher difficulties due to your reliance on friendly units.
He may have some merciless moments, but he seems to truly be a good man at heart, however, men can be pushed to unspeakable acts. l feel his patronizing of Dimitri to Chernov was actually him trying to get Chernov to fight for more than survival, he wanted him to go further like Dimitri and actually decimate German forces when possible.
He tells Chernov "no one will ever read this" to get him to focus on the fight in the twilight of the Third Reich.
Black Ops Reznov seems off now with how he stated that Russians know the price of sacrifice. It was a badass moment, undoubtedly, but with Reznov's steady repeated shouting for medics and such for fallen soldiers it makes it odd. Though, he was also in Vorkuta for a while by then so he was probably hella desensitized, so it doesn't really matter in the end.
Anyways, my two cents on one of gaming's most inspiring characters of the era.
@@gamerraider889 besids he fought for moderland
You know during the beginning of the mission downfall when chernov is talking, it can change depending on what you did to the three surrendering germans in the metro entrance.
@@Padre_416 yeah if you kill the surrendering German soldiers the book will say how unhuman you were to commit such atrocities, and if you let them live (they probably bled out and died anyway) the book mentions how warm hearted you are and that you care for the lives of everyone.
@@gamerraider889 When I was playing on veteran I was stuck right in front of the Steps of Reichstag, waiting for the pillar to fall. The SS Guards were just spamming grenades and machine gun fire on the NPCs. When I got closer I noticed that when ever a soldier got shot, Reznov would scream "Get a medic!" Or "Stop the bleeding! Quick stop the bleeding!"
COD Now: Come feel like a badass with us.
COD Then: You won't even want to think of a war after we're through with you.
@syed jawad who cares?
This is our comment section!
I feel like new cod is slowly going back with campaigns. Remember last years modern warfare campaign
@The Wandering Knight who cares
@The Wandering Knight but it’s still just a cod game with women just get over it
@Jack Denmark there weren't any in the war
Came across this channel recently, great content, definitely subscribed💪
The way this game depicts ww2 is phenomenal the game itself is gritty, dark and just scary at the same time and the way both reznov and roebuck talk about the horrors and tragedies during ww2 just tells you how much treyarch put into this game, the first time playing this game on my Xbox 360 I could imagine what it's like being a soldier during ww2 listening to either reznov and boebuck shouting orders or giving speeches about not giving up on the enemies because they're at the brink of losing while trying to concentrate on the battle field having people getting killed, planes dropping bombs and constantly move around so that I don't get blasted from a tank or MG this game will always be one of my favorite cods of all time

@@gtahelper4873 SECURE THE KEY!
From Chernov's diary. "April 30th, 1945. When he first spoke of Dimitri, Reznov told tales of a hero. Someone we should all aspire to be like. His bravery on the battlefield is beyond question, but he has also shown mercy amidst the brutality of The Red Army. He is indeed a hero."
It was awesome how basing on what you did he spoked on you in different ways
"At times, I have seen him show mercy, and at others, complete brutality. I do not understand him. Perhaps heroes need not question their actions."
J25 "He's just another savage amongst the Red Army"
Diana Barnett
I always get that quote.
"Maybe heroes need not question their actions"
I think the idea of world at war was to take the two most brutal fronts of the Second World War (the Pacific and Eastern front) and show how brutal war can be and how brutal WWII really was compared to the other WWII games. This is one of my reasons why world at war is one of my all time favorites besides the very first call of duty and united offensive
The intro yet alone was epic that hardest single player call of duty I ever played on veteran because of the never ending grenades thrown at you I manage to platinum it but it was a brutal experience but online was fun as hell remember being in the top 500 back in the ps3 days man good times
It’s sad how World at War was mostly disregarded last gen simply because it was another world war 2 game right after Modern Warfare which was a setting the series never saw before.
I honestly think World at War is one of the best games of the Xbox 360 and you perfectly highlighted why :)
LateNightGaming made my first video!!!!!
Don't play cod waw now there are so many hackers in multiplayer mode that the game isn't fun on there anymore since someone had to use god mode that just makes the game fun for them
Mp40 on everymap got boring.
LateNightGaming I love your videos
MAYBE your simple brain acted that way
Is nobody going to talk aboit the gore ..how u could blow guys arms off with the shotgun and how realistic it looked ..why did cod stop making games like that one of my favorite cod games ever hands down
snipers blew of legs and destryoed heads same for black ops
these games were brutal XD
The gore was the best part of the game, it even worked during multiplayer!
Cod 4 comes close but what you speak of is why waw is the best cod game ever and it always will be.
@@joeiTV doom 2016/eternal had lots of gore like that and the media was not mad.
@@joeiTV Fuck the media!. Give us a game so Gory so horrifying so intense that we will beg treyarch to take all of our money year after year if they make games this level of restricted.
They could easily get away with selling this type of game for 100$ or even 1000$ dollars a copy we would willingly spend that much if it means we get so much as 1 fully uncensored uncut 1000x more violent it's this level of violence and gore we the players want in a game..
Look at games like Serious Sam 3 Your first kill involves ripping out a big eyeball from an enemy monster... with your bare Hand!.
Or doom eternal where 100% of the game involves uncensored gore arms legs guts flying everywhere from every enemy you kill.
Or even gears of war where you can chainsaw enemies in half.
Sigh... sorry about that I got a little carried away there.
I just really love super gory games and movies.
Anyway the only other cod I have ever seen this much gore for was Bo3 and even that game wasn't perfect. But anyway most of the gore in this game comes from multiplayer and some of it from campaign via Raps, Combat Bow, Gravity Spikes, The end of the first mission... But alas this game wasn't the game it was meant to be.
But now you got these eww... child friendly cods that hardly show any real gore other then the odd legs getting blown off from landmines etcetera.
Started replaying the campaign yesterday for the first time in 8 years... The atmosphere is just spot on.
Semper Fi is probably my favorite mission of all time just because of all the memories it brings back of me and my brother replaying it all the time and always doing really badly.
Ah yes. Back to the time when you wasted 50 bullets to take out an enemy because you thought he moved.
or got hosed down by 50 bullets because you thought they were dead
Or got blown off by 50 grenades

There were few guns which were like chainsaw going through people. That gives a sense of power by holding the weapons while it also shows the fragility of life during that time. Also the phrase~ it will be their land, their people and their blood. That really arose emotions which i haven’t felt since while playing a game. Also the game is also highly historically accurate. Salute to the work done.
If they kept the gore and stuff like dismemberment of arms and legs and kept the same missions it would be my favourite game
This game has got good graphics for how old it is.
13 years? Im 12 and have nice eyes and nice personality. And graphics dont matter its story.
They actually made the graphics gritty to fit the ww2 setting and they nailed it
Tell that to a 7year old
@@domdabomb10138 I'm 26 and lying
@Wickem The majority of people still want a campaign though. Black ops 4 didn’t have one and treyarch/ activision got flamed for it. And guess what? The next black ops game had a fucking campaign. It’s still a much wanted part of the game. Just because YOU personally skip it doesn’t mean that’s the majority. You have some serious bias and no self awareness clearly. If the majority didnt want one than treyarch wouldn’t have received all that backlash and than decided to put a campaign in the next game right? Sometimes you just gotta think logically bud, but clearly that’s no your strong suit.
Historically accurate and brutal. There was no censorship or cover up in waw. Limbs getting torn off, gore everywhere, agonizing screaming being on fire.
That’s why we couldn’t remaster this game cause now many people are snowflakes of this shit

As a small child I was scared to play this game at night by myself just cuz of the intro
BRUH SAME
i played this when i was like 8 back then and i didnt know anything about ww2, so when i saw the cutscenes i just thought to myself "haha funny japanese man screaming and pushing a person to a pit" so i never became scared of it until i was 12 and i learned alot about the horrible war crimes the japanese did
@@stoitsz0_o
@@stoitsz That's messed up. Hahaha
@@stoitsz bro, I'm the same here lmao
I actually love the real ww2 footage at the start of each mission it definitely feels like a mini documentary in a game and also shows what these men faced
I just love Treyarch’s style in general where they showed footage glad they bought it back for cw and hopefully it stays
That's what they were supposed to be. I was 5 when modernwarfare came out. But I still played all the cods til vanguard. And by that, I mean the campaigns also played multi-player but these games were originally made to be historically accurate. Not happening anymore history teachers prolly all gon get canceled in about 3 months.
Watching Japanese soldiers literally burying Chinese civilians in a pit alive is some of the most fucked shit you might accidentally come across on the internet in 2009 but these people strait had it in a game and you watched that shit as a teenager just awe struck before a mission even started
Most underrated cod
Imagine a remake of World At War with remastered music, sound design, graphics and that fixes the few problems the original had.
I’m salivating just at the thought.
There is only one way to play on Veteran in this game. You have to accept that you’re going to die dozens of times and there’s not much you can really do about it. This game really makes you fight for every inch of territory and I really appreciated that about the campaign.
The Stalingrad Mission literally still gives me chills to this day. Honestly the best 25 seconds in any video games. Literally when that dude was standing over them with the mp40. Chills.
Brady B same here, that game is no place for boys, only for men
I hated the sniper mission
@@arandomperson5434 Really? Vendetta is my favorite and what got me into snipers in CoD and other shooters. I always try to snipe in game to this day, and even follow Reznov's advice on "hunting" my target(which is why I also hate sniping trick shots, Reznov is just that charismatic).
Brady B its based on the movie “enemy at the gates” in case u didn’t know. One of my favorites.
@@InnerBeast325 in that mission I got shot out of nowhere on veteran when you barely wake up
I’ve said it a million times before, and I’ll say it again. This game deserves a remaster waaaaay more than cod4
Change my mind
Ok
Ok
Ok
I agree completely
Cod ww2 was already in development so remastering it would feel weird
WaW Der Reise is the only Zombies I play consistently anymore. I’ll play the new ones every now and then when I first get the games, but they’ve just gotten to convoluted and complicated. The multiplayer, while dead for years now was always a blast and memorable. And I still come back to play through the campaign often. Played this campaign more than any other cod by far
One small improvement I would make to this game (hopefully in a remaster) is I would give the option to run through each campaign directly without having to back out each time it switches perspectives.
WaW: zombies are fun
Cod now: summon this demon by killing zombies and then craft this wonder weapon
Killing elder gods an getting a stink that shoot magic
Zombies is still great all the maps are super well made and have tons of effort put into then everyone just complaining because using your brain for once is too much for a FPS game. The new zombies maps are filled with so much to do and not just killing stuff over and over again.
Oopopp Opposite the only bad treyarch zombies game is bo4
Jack Cannady it’s definitely not as good as the other ones but it has some good maps like IX
This quote demonstrates the contrived attitude of children today. My generation is so concerned with being fed more and more, instantly, that they find no gratification in newness or interesting things. Only those things that immediately make you feel a tiny spark of greatness, then afterwards have zero substance. That is a perfect way to describe the zombies of old. They were good for their day. Just as Doom was for his day. And there's nothing wrong with appreciating them. But I for one, know that the nostalgia voices are speaking when folks say: "New zombies are waste." If every single map was a "Kino Der Toten" reskinned to be something different, the mode would've died long ago. Beg for mediocrity all you like, but complexity isn't a bad thing, if it is offered and not expected. There is no BO4 map or BO3 map, you can't just jump on, and shoot things like a mindless retard. I know, I did. But having that layer of depth, kept me playing. BO1? WaW? No, I played them a handful of times and begged the question: "Isn't insanity defined by doing the same thing more than once and expecting something different to happen?" And I quit. No one would prefer less customization, less camos, less guns, less maps, less thought put into multiplayer... But folks complain about zombies getting more. Foolish.
Ok hear me out
Call of duty world at war remastered
I'm intrested
I know how people say they’ll ruin it which is most probable but idc I just want to play this god-given campaign again. Absolutely my favorite campaign in all of Cod. I also only started playing the multiplayer and the nazi zombies a short while before I sold my xbox 360 along with my games so I want to experience this amazing game again.
Yes I would love to play this game without the hackers
Go on, go on...
No .. it will be ruined by censoring the Life events an stuff like the Nazi symbols .. all the shits
too many sensitive little bitches these days
I loved that game, watching this video five years later man... I just wanna get back and play this campaign all over again.
Mr. O'brien's book is probably my favorite. He really nails it. There are no morals in war. There is no political correctness. Great analysis! Keep up the great work bruddah!
This damn game is responsible for introducing me to something I love almost as much as Halo, motherfuckin Zombies. The story, gameplay, maps, weapons everything about this game is fucking perfect. The absolute GOAT CoD and it will never be beaten
HiddenXperia, that's because Treyarch wanted to make this the last World War 2 themed CoD, so they made everything perfect as the last experience. Zombies is definitely the bomb and this game will always be the better of the new generation of CoD games. I'd recommend a remaster, but it's too good that I wouldn't want Treyarch to fuck it up if they decided to "add" anything.
Damn I love seeing my favorite animes (HiddenXperia and The Act Man) crossover
HiddenXperia BO3 still probably had the best zombies. Zombie Chronicles was and is amazing.
Zombies and campaign is where I thought the game shined. I like modern shooters better, but this game was bearable. GOAT.... everyone has their own.
HiddenXperia I'm a huge fan
World at War's menu music still creeps me out a bit tbh
Will James if you listen to the waw theme you just feel all the horrors that happened in all of ww2
So true
Will James waw is a game that after 5 years of owning, I still cannot play at night time
Yeah WAW's tone was absolutely the best part of that game. The creepy intro and the main menu being something more akin to a horror game really sells it.
The rest of the game's soundtrack got me pumped up though, I especially loved the Russian missions, with the kick ass guitar and the somber choir backing up scenes of absolute destruction, horror and bloodshed. It was bad ass.
A seriously brilliant video. I see why it's one of your most popular
Video explained said and perfectly nailed down everything in the best way possible. No words. W video
I love this fucking game. This was back when Infinity Ward and Treyarch were friendly rivals and the games were still on fire.
Modern warfare is pretty damn good man
@BeastlyRealmZ HD Yeah
But thet fixed it
@BeastlyRealmZ HD And just like Act Man said
Call of Duty started as a game with awesome campaign
That's what Mw is
xXF4LS3HOODXx _ agreed
I’m just glad I got to enjoy the glory days of CoD. I started with WaW and played that alongside MW. When MW2 came out that was my game. But to me BO was the beginning of the end. MW3 was the final nail IMO. After that it’s just garbage.
I like how Chernov's diary in the last mission actually changes depending on if you spare the surrendering germans or not and his view on you changes, it kind of accurately portrays how "heroes" are viewed
one of them especially hits hard, if you only kill one German but leave the other two to burn he says
"April 30, 1945: When he first spoke of Dimitri, Reznov told tales of a hero, someone we should all aspire to be like. At times, I have seen him show mercy, and at others, complete brutality. I do not understand him. Perhaps heroes need not question their actions.
"
this is perfect in the sense that war heroes aren't always the perfect moral warriors some see them as but as with everything in war, its not black or white, its gray, and war will always be gray
life even itself is never black or white, it is gray, it is up to you whether a decision is a light gray or a dark gray.
Wait it changes depending on what you do?!?! If this is true... why am i just NOW finding out about this?
@@Anxmaly666 it's pretty easy to miss, I only found out after playing through the game multiple times
Anakin Skywalker holy man. Such wonderful details yet so easy to miss out.
It's black and white when your enemy is balck and white. Like in WW2 it was clear black and white but in the gulf war it was grey.
This is so nice. It's just another point for WAW
This cod is unique in a way that it is not inspired by Hollywood films. It was inspired by real history and wants to depict war for what it is. It wants to tell us a story of how terrible wars are. It tells us that we have moved on from the terrible past and is now in one of the best stages of our evolution.
