I have a video idea for you if you are interested: Which zombies mode is better, bo1 or waw? Thanks for reading my comment and have a great day. I haven't watched the video yet so you may have discussed it but I wanted to know which was better.
23, 53, 64, 1, 14, 21, 15, 24, 19...
In the post credits, Mason mumbles “6.5 mm”, which is the caliber of the Carcano rifle, which is also the rifle that shot JFK.
Soo...
Mr. Masterminer1109 yeah it’s obvious he killed kennedy, barely noticed that?
He was losing his shit in the meeting room so I'm not surprised. What I don't understand is who brainwashed him to kill Kennedy? Reznov or the other guys?
Oh shit! I never noticed that before, damn.
Dante's Inferno Dragovich and Steiner brainwashed him to kill JFK, and Reznov "reveresed" the brainwashing into making him wanting to kill Dragovich, Kravchenko, and Steiner
@@Wuzic and that was success
When it was worth to pay 60$ for cod game.

True, I played em when I was younger and just liked shooting bad guys and liked the cool looking guns.

@@sarenhs4535 Olympia was my fave weopon.
This game had no business having such a good story. Seriously, the storytelling was phenomenal.
Honestly the story is really stupid and bombastic for a game about secret deniable ops. But it's campy and fun in a summer blockbuster way like Red Dawn

He said that cause Mason did help kill JFK in that fictional universe of course.
That whole "Stalin had little need for heroes" line might be a nod to Georgy Zhukov, the "Hero of the Soviey Union" during WWII, whom Stalin was immensely fearful of due to the potential for him to undermine his cult of personality and power. Dimitri would be in a similar circumstance, and could even be a stand in for Zhukov.

This game singlehandedly captivated my interest in the Cold War, even though I only played the campaign last year after owning the game for 5 years. (I was never allowed to play campaign as a kid haha.)
The entire idea of being a brainwashed sleeper agent that was reprogrammed is super interesting to me!
"The level of dedication treyarch HAD"

Fun Fact: When you shoot Reznov you won’t get a “Friendly Fire” Alert!
o shit
is this actually true?
@@offdasenzu8826 yes, because he's a hallucination.
And if you throw a flash bang, woods and bowman, etc. all cover their eyes. But reznov just stands there like nothing happened

The good old days when COD had balls.
yeah back when tyarch didint give a shit
Right
They had the biggest balls ever
They had balls by giving us exo suits and supply drops 🤣
@@omergouner7850 Sorry sir I couldn't understand your CoD kid language
I dunno if someone already found this out but, another great detail in the campaign is in the Vorkuta mission. You couldn’t shoot Reznov or the game would end you. But afterwards when he’s there later on, you can shoot him as much as you want & nothing happens. Great detail of that I’d say
I just recently played the blacks ops campaign again,and I noticed something that Mason says during the "Revelations" mission,He said "Oswald compromised", when I heard that I got massive chills.
In the campaign you could shoot friendlies and you’d get penalized, kind of like dying, but you could shoot reznov without getting the penalty. It was always mind boggling until you came to the end and understood you were shooting at nothing the whole time.
Silent Orchestra yeah at first I thought the game was broken because I could not shoot reznov but then in the end it all made sense
I never knew this lmao that’s cool though I loved black ops 1
Bro!, spoilers.
Bro, spoilers
Bro_blox98 return s are you stupid or do you just like to comment the same thing over and over again?
How could you not mention when you selected zombies, the whole menu changes. Hudson even leaves the window room, and comes back as a zombie!
That still gives me chills to this day
It's not Hudson, it's Weaver.
You have the same name as my mom
@@alexmason1436 Hey Mason! How's Reznov? Oh wait, I forgot.
@@HBSDU54 it is confirmed to be Hudson. Weaver enters near the end of the game when Hudson tells him to leave.
The story was the mindblowing part of this game. It sticks with me ever since I finished the whole campaign for the first time. Ever came out extraordinarily like it was some of the masterpiece of a storytelling at the time.
"if you're mature, it inspired you" lmao that's accurate af😂 A couple mission in and I had several tabs open about the cold war and WW2
Jesus Act Man, stop making me feel good about my taste in video games.

Having a taste for call of duty… how unique.
@@summerrr1 responding on a 3 year old comment...how unique
"My father was a musician in Stalingrad. During the German occupation the sound of his violin filled the air with magnificent music...Korsakov, Stazov, many of the great nationalist composers. To my countrymen, it was a symbol of hope. To the Germans...it was a symbol of defiance. Even now, his music still haunts me...the Nazis slit his throat while he slept. Collaborating with any Nazi is a betrayal, a betrayal against ALL of Mother Russia. Dragovich and Kravchenko...were not troubled by such matters. They only looked to pursue their own interests and agendas..."
Man props to Treyarch for turning a fun character from World at War into probably the best character in the entire Black Ops storyline second only to Woods with a single game and an amazing twist
Lmao agreed
Is not as fun in waw, i think waw is way more grounded and realistic than bo1
@@aveteranplayer6403 OFC it is.
@@kaky7116 still both great games.

WaW is much better.
@@fordxbgtfalcon how so?
@@fordxbgtfalcon nah BO1 is so much better but hey it's your opinion
@@fordxbgtfalcon WaW is great man, but I’d have to say BO1 takes the throne on the greatest COD ever made.
Maximillian Dood was a black ops player promoted by Machinima. Even now Black Ops impacted content creators that went on to do bigger things. The game was a masterpiece, but the generation that influenced the game build nostalgic memories for many of us.
"The flags may be different, but the methods are the same." Damn.

Midshipaustin 14 Well to be fair we're still not sure if mason killed Kennedy but the campaign was phenomenal in every way. I didn't even bother buying bo3 and never played anything of the campaign, thankfully
Arosch_ the campaign is god awful and didn't feel even remotely related to the two other games
*train go boom!* did you know the first mission esc from vorkuta is linked to the call of the dead zombies map
svex Extremu really how? Could you explain how it's linked that my fav zombies map lol
This game was far ahead of its time. I have so many great memories playing split screen online with a friend all day and night. My favorite cod for sure
My first console was a ps3 and first game i bought was black ops. I liked it pretty well, but i recently pushed through again and I'm impressed how well it's held up, especially the campaign. Such a cool story. We were in the golden age of video games from 2008 to 2013 and didn't know it.
For real bro I mostly play games from before the PS4 and Xbox one generation. Back when developers cared about quality
When I was younger I used to think woods was just being a douchebag when he was not acknowledging reznov
seriously 😂
I thought the same thing, I mean it felt like him to do so maybe he had something against the Russians for some reason or some shit. Then again we didn't know his full personality and how nice he was until bo2.
Lmao.i also thought this until i saw that REZNOV is a hallucinarion
“The level of dedication Treyarch HAD.” Treyarch just isn’t the same anymore.
True 😢😢
Black ops 4 is pretty good but having no campaign sucks shit soda threw a straw.
Alex The Awsome let alone a campaign at all 😂😂
Joey Walker Black ops 4 is the most repetitive call of duty and one of the most repetitive games I’ve ever played.
Alex The Awsome Nah it’s because of blackout
13:20 I just noticed, Reznov's right hand is missing his trigger finger, which means he'd have to learn how to shoot with his left hand
CoD4, World at War, MW2 & Black Ops will never be touched. Such amazing games back in the day and even now 🔥
"The flags may be different,but the methods are same"
Still gives me chills
Whats does that mean? Sorry for the dumb question

And the fact that Treyarch had a killer ensemble cast for the campaign, Sam Worthington, Gary Oldman, and Ice Cube made it pretty damn amazing.
This game also made you decide if you're a badass or not by difficulty. If you pick regular or recruit there is hardly any blood but when you go in on hardened or veteran you see blood and body parts tearing off

"The wounds he sustained ensuring our victory should have earned him a Hero's welcome in russia, but Stalin had little need for Heroes..."
Thats deep..
Considering what Stalin was like, it’s also pretty historically accurate
Dammit Stalin
Stalin even demoted and forced his best general from WW2, Zhukov, into irrelevance because he might have been a threat to Stalin’s power.
Yeah, Stalin was honestly just as bad as Hitler when you look at what they both did to their people and country.
Just fucking stop
This was the final COD game that I obsessively played. I started with w@w, then absolutely fell in love with MW2, then BO1. Those 3 years were the most enjoyment, by far, I ever had in gaming. It saddens me to think I'll never experience something so fun like that ever again. Truly a magical time in gaming and I'm fortunate to have been a part of it.
I remember playing the black ops campaign for the first time. It’s one of the few video game stories I was completely enthralled in. I played straight through and I loved it. Best cod story hands down.
I’d honestly say this is the creepiest and scariest Call of Duty. The way it messed with your head and all of the eerie imagery. And that moment in the pentagon when Mason grabs the pistol and aims it at JFK...holy crap that always got me.
Nothing untrue here I was like oh god when that happened
Big facts. I just got it on steam for $20. I'm gonna play the whole campaign today for some nostalgia. This campaign was the best of the COD series.

Black Ops 1 was the first COD game I played. It was with my brother on our old PS3.
Years later, i hadn't really played any others and had forgotten which cod game i originally played.
But I played BO1 again recently and all the memories came back to me.
I also find it interesting that when Mason pulled a pistol on Kennedy, there's a picture of Abe Lincoln behind him.
Damn
Dang
Doof
Darn
@@charlesdemers1197 clearly implies that he also assassinated Abe Lincoln as well.
"My Name Is Viktor Reznov, and I Will Have My Revenge."
That line had no significance when Spoken by Reznov. But it gave me the chills when The Campaign was played through Hudson's point of View.
Simply one of the greatest FPS Games ever made.
I can’t imagine the thoughts going through stiener’s head. Like “Holy shit we really did fuck you up”
Plot twist: mason actually is reznov who just shaved his beard and picked up an American accent
@@aaronmedders4141 mason: ha ha gun go bang
@@aaronmedders4141 from what i can see mason was holding a pmm makrov style pistol im not sure what caliber a pmm makrov pistol was
Actually it makes perfect sense when Reznov said it. Steiner was a Nazi, which Reznov hated more than anything else, and the one who originally created Nova 6. Dragovitch and Kravchenko betrayed Reznov and used it to kill his best friend Dimitri Pachenko, then they brought Steiner on board as a new ally and left Reznov to rot in the gulag the rest of his life. In Reznov's eyes that was an unforgivable crime against all of Russia. Reznov sabotaged Mason's brainwashing and programmed him to kill all three of them, so basically Reznov did end up getting his revenge through Mason.
You're like one of the only RUclipsrs I could watch this video 3 months ago come back and watch it over and over again cuz it's just so entertaining to listen about what you have to say you're a true game critic
3:46
Same exact story with me. I would always play the campaign for the gamer score and leave but now I go back and play black ops/WAW while being a history buff and I truly love it.

*hears people converting to zombies& sees a zombie banging on the glass*
*gets terrified*

Deadpool You gotta give it to them, that transition is fucking cool. Also when you hear that eerie zombies theme, you get the chills man.
That was sick as fuck, Hudson leaves the interrogation room for like 10 seconds and comes back ready to do more than interrogate
Deadpool Saaaaame

Damn, i still remember when Zombies was both scary and fun rather than pretentious and tedious
The fact that bowman is voiced by ice cube makes him more badass

Yeah, Mr. Shades. That guy was an ice cube.
And Hudson by Ed Harris until you know the second game

true dat. true dat. But MW3 (As recycled as it was) was my fav. that's becuz of the campaign
I was in my freshman year of highschool when this came out. I remember still my mother randomly just coming home with the huge prestige edition and the rcxd car and I was so excited and happy. I loved this game so much. Good memories here
This was my first game on a console and one of my favorites just due to memories and nostalgia, while like you said I couldn't understand or truly appreciate the history in the game/campaign when I was younger but it definitely had a huge influence on me and is a big reason why I have a huge love for history now specifically with the Cold War Era which fascinates me and I now go out of my way to learn about it, I went back and replayed it and it was so much better.

Black Ops 1 was my first cod game. I’m never going to forget logging in my account when brother got off at night and spend all summer sleeping during the day. And playing during the night.
O PANA same bro me and my bro did the same summer of 2011
Yeah bro same it was fuckin amazing never felt that way again
I stole it from my dad to play at a friends house first COD game I sank any time in to 🤷🏻♂️
World at war was mine, and I bought this game straight away
Black Ops was also my first COD. Even though I was young at the time, I understood how important stuff was. Black Ops was one of the games that taught me and showed me good storytelling and whatnot. I didn't have internet at the time, so I just played multiplayer with a friend or my dad usually. And then there was Zombies....
It scared the hell out of me. It doesn't scare me anymore, ever since BO2 and I played that with some friends and whatnot a long time ago, although some shit is still creepy, i'll admit when I was younger I COULD NOT play Zombies. Although, I probably could've learned how to play and whatnot and enjoyed it if I wasn't so scared of the Zombies and Hellhounds. The only Zombies map that didn't scare me was Dead Ops. Now THAT was fun. Hope they make another Dead Ops style thing again for BO4, or a different Arcadey thing. Heh, imagine a Zombies Side-scroller, that'd be neat.
20:12 in the mission when you escape from the interrogation room and hudson explains everything to you, if you have the subtitles on Mason will say "Oswald has been compromised."
pretty wild shit
Damn!
Honestly, Blops 1 is still my favorite CoD. Kowloon remains one of my top 10 favorite levels to replay in a game ever and the fact that they put so much effort into extras and bonus features is genuinely admirable. This is the type of game design the series has been missing for a looong time.

I want to replay it. I want to understand it :(
same here
That's what exactly happened to me, except when I was a couple years older, about 5 years ago, I replayed it and beat it. Best goddamn campaign in history.

Pretty dumb thing to feel ashamed about. Its like saying you feel ashamed for not understanding the value of a dollar before you had to earn your own money.
i like how the campaign puts you in mason’s shoes. you’re in the same boat as him, you have no idea what’s happening and are being put into these past visions trying to figure out what happened
Love your reviews on all of the COD's we grew up on as kids, man. I'd imagine quite a lot of work goes into them. Your efforts are noted for sure. Great quality and content, along with quick wit and humor. I'm curious-- any chance of doing a Let's Play on Black Ops 1? Or maybe a review on Call of Duty 4? Anyways, thanks for the great content my guy.

The history that this game covers makes it one of my fucking favorite games in the entire series and I'm surprised that no other COD game ever go back to the Cold War, one of the most interesting and complex parts of human history which defined the 20th Century after the firs two world wars. This is why I want a COD game or any other shooter to go back to the Cold War and touch on the conflicts of that era such as the tragically forgotten Korean War.
Also my god this game has so much detail that I didn't know until now! Thank you so much for pointing them out man, thank you!
I COMPLETELY AGREE
Debby Peter I don’t own a last gen console anymore bro

Hello caveman your dream has come true
The Fact that you get put straight into The Five Zombies map right after you beat the campaign was great. I remember the first time I played the map and I was terrified. I thought it was going to start as some sort of wave defence mode while being swatted by some foreign military. But then i heard and eventually saw, the zombies.
Hey Actman, i love your videos. There so detailed and broken down thoroughly. Great to understand the immersed story and entertaining at the same time. Could you consider to do a video on the original max payne? It was an awesome experience story, intensity and action.
Fun fact: Sometimes when Reznov shoots someone, the person won’t even die,
Sad boi joji V2 thats all the NPCs tbh
Counter-Weight Medias Seriously NPCs are basically useless
THERE FUCKING BOTS!!
Steiner.
another fun fact: the second time you see reznov in the game you can see him go through walls, more specificly, using the animation when you go over a barrier.
I can go back and watch your old videos just as much as your new ones. Always consistent ActMan! Stay legendary.
I love the menu music especially the multiplayer, and the map of the world with the lights on.... sitting in pre-game lobbies made me feel on edge and connected with the world
That scene at the end where it's shown that Mason killed JFK still gives me chills
I never even realized that until watching the video, that was a shock for me
Bruh really spoiler

COD is actually what made me a big war history buff in my teens, Black Ops is easily the best COD campaign, and dare I say it one of the most underrated campaigns in gaming history with two of the greatest plot twists in gaming history.
Ikr this game was so great and made me so interested in the history of war
The campaign of this game is, dare I say, a masterpiece. It gives me chills every time I see it.
Yh call of duty and assassins creed
I can see where you're coming from but I think MW1 had the best campaign. BO1, for a game called "Black Ops," didn't have as much stealth and espionage as the title would imply. Still a great game all-around but I'm just a little bit disappointed with that.
It was great because it mixed modern day with future stuff even in bo2. But then they overdid it with the futuristic stuff.
13 years later, all four DLC's are still full price. I learned this the hard way when I drunkenly bought BO1 on Steam for $40 and expected it to come with all of the DLC...it didn't.
I like BO1 Zombies but BO3 Steam is probably the best Zombies to play since all the BO1 maps are in BO3 (ZC, COTD Remaster from the Steam workshop, and the upcoming FIVE remaster)
Without a doubt my favourite Call of Duty game, so many great memories with friends and so many elite dlc maps for both multiplayer & zombies, and on top of all that a fantastic and memorable campaign story
I used to be a cod fan like you, then I took a supply drop to the knee
So you tripped on a supply drop?
so you married a supply drop?... that's enough internet for the day..
What
A beautiful blast from the past❤️
i hate you but i respect you...
THIS COMMENT JUST MADE MY DAY!! XD
If they remastered this I’d be happy for the next decade
Bollocks
@@-pressxtostart- Why not? It’d be great to be able to play the game on the newer consoles
Without a battle pass or microtransics tho
That would be cool but I don't think we are gonna get one anytime soon
There is one.....
That ending scene with this music...... OMFG such an amazing way to end a perfect Rewiev about a perfect game.
You did good son.
Kino and ascension are easily some of the best zombie maps of all time. I know nobody mentions ascension in the pantheon of zombies maps over the years, but if you get a couple buddies, especially in person for couch Co-op, or even a system link, it's easily one of the most fun maps to play on. Training is so much fun there, the lunar landers or whatever those flying elevators are called, are also so much fun. Especially when you and your buddies are running for the lander, and your waiting for it to be activated and u gotta hold out and hope you don't get overrun and then when it launches and it annihilates any and all zombies on or near the lander and you launch just in time before you and or your buddies go down oh my God is it fun. The thundergun and Zeus cannon (I think that's what the upgraded thundergun is called? Can't recall it's been a while) as well as the Russian nesting dolls, the Gersch device/black hole grenades are especially cool as fuck , of course PhD Lebron... whoops I mean PhD flopper has a bunch of use on ascension, and I know it sorta got abandoned after blops 1 and reappeared a few times in some other blops but very rarely and I think that's a travesty because those are so much fun and are really helpful. Not to mention the bad ass sickle, that launching middle that u can launch and blow up with the ray gun, those SUPER FUCKING ANNOYING monkey perk thief rounds, and are probably the worst part of ascension and honestly blops 1 zombies in general. I could go on but you get the point. Ascension is CRIMINALLY underrated.
We need a zombies map with alex mason, viktor reznov, hudson, and frank woods.
Would ruin the zombies lore and all the super fanboys would get mad
@@loveshack6880 it could be in an alternate universe, like five was, so it doesn't interfere with the main storyline
@@jourteen7795 five is in the main story but I understand
J14NetheR _400_ Five was in the main story
I do agree like them at a vietnam prison and nova 6 was wrong and turned everyone into zombies
We are all soldiers without an army
Betrayed, Forgotten, Abandoned
In Vorkuta we are all brothers
Dr. Stephen Strange 👏👏👏
Reznov, are you sure we can trust the american?
@@maxwelldespisesyou704 with my life..
@@gianshawn377 he and I, are not so different.
Dr. Stephen Strange how about we are all gamers without an army betrayed but on this channel we are all reunited
I never used to play bo1. But then I got it on sale yesterday and I have to say IT IS SO GOOD. I wished I played this in their it’s prime. I mean the hit markers r just so satisfying
any one who played b ops 1 in its hayday will tell you some of the best video game experiences ever. a perfect game
The midnight release for this game was crazy. My buddy and I waited hours and the line got crazy long, like a quarter of the town we lived in felt like it was there to buy black ops. Great memories!
We didn’t realize how good we had it back then bois...
I did?
I know 😭😭 i miss it so much
Retrospective does that. I used to crap on this in hs but then I played it..
Your right
I did after ghost came out I was done
you forgot to mention the soundtrack that is just incredible.
Vinicius Praxedes
He mentioned it.
Love to always come back to ur cod series every once in a while
The coolest scène I forgot was you killing dragovic and you screamed at him : "You tried to make me kill my own president" and dragovic said: "tried?" and it then cuts to the day of the jfk parade where Kennedy got out of the plane and there in the crowd stands Mason. Oh you talk about it in the video as well
the multiplayer menu theme is so nostalgic. i really wish i was back in that time. i didn’t worry about money, bills, work, or anything. waking up on a saturday morning and loading up that menu to play with my sister is something i miss dearly .
erik same my best memories were playing bo1 and bo2 every now and then I go back to play them. I still play call of duty but it will never be the same Wish I could be back
The game is still active. 10k players online most weekends on Xbox. :)
@@ellk1991 well that's me in there
Jesus Christ loves you, God bless and forgive you
@@ellk1991damn, when black ops 1 came out it had more than 100 000 players online daily on ps3, more than 200 000 on the xbox. Call of duty really hit it low
The best Call of Duty and one of the best games of all time.
THE best game of all time for me
@@skirmishthefrog4190 YEP
@@skirmishthefrog4190 thats right, No MW can compare with BO1-2, only if BO3 was as good as this.
Facts
@Isaiah Martinez That's your opinion we love bo1
So nostalgic. Act man does a great job capturing everything with these games and moments in history
Act Man, I really love your videos. Best of luck with Quantum man I wish you the best.
The campaign of this game makes me have so much more of a range of emotions than any other Call Of Duty campaign. It's tense, horrifying, cathartic, and kick-ass, all in one package. A classic.
the mindfuck abt JFK was foreshadowed in the mission revelations where mason walks through the pentagon and finds out about the numbers, after the scene with kravchenko, Dragovich, and steiner in vorkuta, the numbers start appearing again and mason says "Proceed...to...Target" "Oswald Compromised" this probably means that the assassination is in his memory somewhere
He killed JFK it is confirmed by the end game picture, where Mason it's near JFK, and also because Dragovich confirmed it
How low your standards must be to call that a mindfuck...
@@ttiago57 No, Oswald killed JFK. Mason was in on it. He was the second gun man that never got caught.
@@unstoppable4rce no, he indeed killed JFK 🤦♂️🤦♂️, in the last mission Mason said to Dragovich "You tried make me kill my own president", which he replies "Tried?" (The last mission was in February 26 1968, 5 years after the death of JFK) Mason killed JFK, the soviets programmed him to kill him, in the Pentagon mission you can see when you meet JFK, a slow moment when all the time slows, and in the background TV's videos of the assasination of JFK, and seconds after that Mason having an hallucination were he points out a 1911 to JFK, Pentagon mission takes place in 10 of November 1963, 12 days before JFK was assasinated, the last mission before 22 of November is Executive Order (17th of November) where they go to the soviet cosmodrome, and at the end credits you can see footage of JFK on Texas, and Mason saying all the details, 11/22, Texas, 6.5 mm, he killed him
@@ttiago57 The JFK assassination was a team effort, do your research it was Lee Oswald that killed JFK, Mason even says in the pentagon "OSWALD COMPROMISED" Mason may have been in on it and helped with the assassination but he didn't pull the trigger.
I loved the menu music, leveling up and challenges sound affects on this game, 100% one of the best cods, especially if you was good at it
"Activition, Microsoft, I don't know who's fucking up." Hah! If only back then you'd known what would happen...
