Call of Duty World at War full retrospective and review. Why Call of Duty World at War analysis and review 2022. This will cover the full WaW Campaign, Multiplayer and zombies mode. COD World at War gameplay review in 2022. - Ігри
Fun fact: the whispering in the main menu music is meant to symbolize the voices that survivors of war claim to hear of their dead comrades. It adds a new layer of unease to the music
Wow that’s creepy!!
Reminds me of operation wandering soul from Vietnam
The woman in the menu music is speaking in German and it translates to "good soldier, good soldier, die with me, die with me, die with me"
@@skinny2swole damn 😭
You made that up
WAW did an amazing job at portraying WW2 for what it truly was… horrific and brutal. From the missions to the cutscenes to the eerie music. Whether it was the campaign, MP, or zombies, they nailed it. Then we have WWII and Vanguard… those two are what WW2 would be portrayed as if it was a Disney movie. WW2 itself was as close as you could get to actual hell on earth and when you play WWII or Vanguard… the last thing you feel is a sense of horror. I would do nearly anything to get a remaster of WAW on the new engine
And then there's the Soviet campaign... if you rush through it, you'll miss the decision points where you can actively contribute to the brutality, or choose not to partake as Dimitri
It sucks how they probably won't make another WW2 game for a long time since they blew it with the recent sledgehammer games lol
@@alexipestov7002 I occasionally partake in a small amount of brutality
I stop playing call of duty after mw3, but I heard the ww2 cods after that even stopped showing the swatzika
@@dontdoxmebro this is true. you almost get punished for plasying them too, if you are on the german side in a game your customised outfit wont show. Allies only!
WAW was what really got me hooked on COD. The unforgettable campaign and the introduction of zombies, it was the game that put Treyarch on the spotlight and for good reason.
I got a bit of a late start with MW2 but the Treyarch games are what really got me hooked on Call Of Duty. The real Treyarch games not Black Ops 4 and I didn’t really mind Black Ops 3 I actually loved zombies, the maps and the way the colours popped and the unique version of multiplayer but I can’t really see it as a Treyarch Call Of Duty
@@DemonSlayer-og8nmBlackout was dope 🤷🏾♂️
That’s fine but the Mp in this game is D tier and nothing to write home about
Played this game back in 09 as a teenager, was one of the high points of my life. Easily the best COD of all time.
For sure
I was 13 when it came out
We’re getting old boys
What I really loved about Waw was the gritty realism hell I still have the cover art poster of the marine running into the Japanese jungle with that Thompson. So bad ass. Was my first mature game
Edit:I was 10 on a cold December night. My dad had trouble with Waw missions. Now I was already playing cod 3 at the time with its multiplayer. So he asked me for help. I finished the second mission then started vendetta. That level stuck out to me so much as a kid. I was truly scared because Waw was something I was not familiar with. Limbs being blown off. Dogs coming at you. You find nazis burning you out of the house. Then I sniped the general. I played the rest of the game. Then saw zombies and instantly Turing off the game. Freaked me out and refused to play it till like 2 years later. The level of fear playing this as a kid while playing campaign to zombies is what made me love it so much.
My Uncle worked in a video and games rental store and I too was playing Cod 3 and Halo 1 and 2, he was in his 40s and I used to go stay the night and play split screen coop WaW with him. Hed let me play all the games I couldn't own at that age and stay up late eating pizza and drinking fizzy drinks. He was in the kitchen when I first started the game and being alone in the lounge with the intro to semper fi, watching his eye get cut out with that blade is permanently inscribed into my brain, the gritty nothing held back campaign of waw was both scary and incredible together. The first game I played where your allies died at all really.
I remember being excited every second weekend when I knew it was gonna be Waw weekend at my uncles, we were sad when the campaign finished and to our surprise Zombies mode existed haha, we spent countless hours every fortnight playing through Nacht and then the DLCs. Then one year he started letting me borrow the waw disc but as soon as it was night time that menu music terrified me and I couldn't bring myself to play zombies alone ever.
Fast forward to today I have round 50 to 75 on all maps and have made 100s of friends through black ops zombies and brought so many people from school into the zombies realm, we would use the class laptops to play pirated pc waw 4 player coop on LAN and play custom maps and to this day nearly all my friends no matter what our lives are doing, still find the time for the occasional der riese match or something, My Uncle doesn't know how many people he brought together through one Video game. His room mate was a savage Quake and Doom player and taught me how to be both a great sport and a great player with MW2 and we still jam these amazing old CoDs, they are like a portal to a time where life was simple and nothing but fun. I miss those days.
You just explained my first experience with cod and waw perfectly.
To be fair, the reason why zombies felt the same with multiplayer and campaign was because they used maps and characters from those modes cause they couldn’t afford to make their own. After the success, zombies became a whole storyline and yeah it’s very different from the campaign and multiplayer but I always saw zombies as it’s own game, separate from other modes.
That mission on Veteran is no joke lol was the first game I bought myself it took me weeks to beat that level was pissing me off so much he was just faster than me but I was like 11 and I had really bad reflexes. That game's zombies have also scarred me for life when I play any zombie level freaks me the hell out if I'm playing it alone.
Call of duty 3 on ps2 online was the total shit it was the beginging of online gaming it was somewhat realistic no stupid shit i miss those days
This game is easily a top 5 call of duty game, no doubt. Not clue how it gets overlooked so much. They've never made a game since that's this gritty, this dark, or this real. All of that is what makes it so memorable, along with the introduction of Zombies
We’ll never get it again. Can’t monetize real and gritty
How slow can this population get. Sad to see. Hope your impairments get better
the vetern difficulty is what breaks this game

WaW is still my favorite CoD of all time. I just love everything about it. From playing co-op campaign with all the different death cards, from playing with a whole squad on Seelow in search and destroy, from staying up all night constantly trying to get past the high round on zombies with the cat walk. I have some of my best gaming memories from this game and I wish I could go back when times were simple.
You can’t imagine how happy I am to see another video appreciating World At War, it’s such a masterpiece and it’s good to see that it’s getting the recognition it deserves.
I'm playing through a lot of older games, as I had different interests when I was younger. This game stands out as a particularly graphic and gritty experience
I wish I never sold my Xbox 360 😭 I could play it on PC but it's not the same
WAW still has the best Zombies too. Most terrifying and the best maps
Coop campaign was a blast
@@pricklycatsI don’t remember the ai not working when I played it. Maybe I just don’t remember but I definitely didn’t have the problems he had in the video. Great game tho and a good video
Never in a million years would have noticed this game was made under such tight constraints. This was super interesting!!
At first glance it doesn't show, but when you dig deeper you can see way too many details that make no sense (dates, the places/scenarios, the map cutscenes etc) but all things considered they did a damn fine job and perfectly retained the WW2 feel
I personally think WaW has a underrated soundtrack. It somehow incorporates metal and orchestra to highlight the intensity and brutality of the war represented in each mission. In most American missions, it will have a patriotic and humble theme before you light up Japanese soldiers with a flamethrower. But it really sets in with the Russian campaign. Vendetta starts with somber and depressing music, for the stalemate at Stalingrad, seeing Germans executing Russians in the streets. But after Their land, their blood, it has typical orchestrated battle music and guitar riffs representing the merciless push into Germany, the tables have turned.
Best cod waw ost. No special tactical ost or drama. Just metal and sometimes orchestra
An Small detail of the campaign is that Reznov is always saying to Chernov that nobody will read his book reporting the war. When he dies Reznov picked up his book and reads it during the end credits, where your choices over the game will change it a bit
I loved that detail, and it really hit home the brutality that gets shown in the Russian side of the campaign. The entire time, Reznov is bent on revenge and encourages you to kill any German soldier you come across, no matter whether they are fighting back, dying on the ground or trying to surrender. And what does Chernov have to say about you if you give in and follow Reznov's example? "His merciless brutality defines him only as a savage, just like the rest of the Red Army. He is no hero." Compared to the tone in the Modern Warfare series, or even most of Black Ops, this a real gut punch. If you do what the game encourages you to do, you are not a hero in this story.
I think one of the most miracle thing is that waw has next to no plot but somehow tells one of the best ww2 story out there
WAW has no right to be this great, but it was, and still is, playing the game rn, shows that this game without story or whatsoever is really good
@@tertmade9769 i still play multiplayer every day and u gotta know im using my mp40
@@WyaSlay Great gun to use, just be wary of cheaters, some with color names
@@tertmade9769 Havent ran into any in months
@@tertmade9769 I would love to play but sadly my Xbox one can’t get updated so I can’t play it funny enough I’m from Germany and we never got world at war uncut and zombies at all nonetheless it was still fun back then
I love the atmosphere WAW had very dark and gritty even the menu music sounds like it could've came out of a horror film. I was 9 years old when this game was in its prime playing it on the PS3. Still imo the best ww2 cod to date.
Easily a top 3 cod of all time the campaign is so good along with the multiplayer and the zombies was like the cherry on top that and the all around mood of the game was so dark and real I remember playing it as a kid and genuinely being terrified to play zombies just everything about this game is just amazing to me and along the years it makes me appreciate it even more.
Cod 4 waw and mw2 are the best 3 i cant decide which one is the best
I always thought waw campaign was okay
@@coreyjoseph6114 mine go in that exact order
@@kevinmahaley4916 i think me too
World at War is so cool in how dirty and evil it displays the axis powers in World War II. I don't think the imagery of any CoD really made me feel as disturbed as this game, for some moments worse, but mostly for better.
It didn't make the Soviets seem like saints either. It showed that the Nazis and Soviets were two sides of the same coin.
@@mandalorethereclaimer7313 makes you wonder what would have happened if Germany never attacked udssr, Europe would be Russian now lol
I didn't think the campaign was that short compared to other CODs at the time. It's a good solid 6 hours on easy for my playthroughs, where MW2 I can sweep through in about 5 hours. The campaigns were always short and sweet, and with the limited gameplay offerings on hand, older COD campaigns never overstayed their welcome and always found a way to wrap it up right on time when things started to get repetitive. Part of the reason why I love these campaigns is that short and sweet aspect, which I think helps replayability.
WAW is my favorite COD just for it's campaign alone, and is vastly underated in the grand scheme of things. There will also never be another COD like it again, with it's absolutely brutal gore, along with the "sorry, not sorry" Nazi flags and imagery all over the place in the Russia side of the campaign. I will never forget when playing the last mission fighting waves of the defending Nazi soldiers and hearing Erika and other German music playing in the background presumably playing for their moral during their last stand. It was simply incredible and I've yet to find another experience similar to that. Not to mention, just the focus and quality of it all.
It's Treyarch's magnum opus. A true send off to the WW2 genre at that time. The best WW2 triple A shooter of all time.
"Gritty" and "brutal" are the perfect words to describe this legendary game. Truly a masterpiece in every aspect.
WaW Veteran Mode is a must for any COD player. You’ve never felt pain until you’ve been healing in a corner and 5 grenades get thrown in your direction and you have nowhere to go.
COD WW2 feels like a recruitment ad, while COD WAW feels like the first exposure
My friends make fun of me cuz I still love playing WaW. Idc how old that game gets, it never gets old to me
Because of this game, I have been missing limb damage in a COD title for 14 years now....
World at war is a horror game
I think WAW is so different because it openly explored the dark side of warfare that previous COD games never tackled. For a movie comparison Cod 1-3 was like Kelly Heroes and WAW was like HBO’s The Pacific. The Pacific show was also important too because although WAW was released before The Pacific, their stories of the American campaigns are very similar. Perhaps that’s because the developers actually read the memoirs that were used to write The Pacific and thus the game is historically driven. I also think the cultural interest of WWII that we had in the 2000s was very important because by 2008 it was starting to fade from interest but the late 2000s we began to see a strong focus on mental health and PTSD in war. WAW’s attitude of patriotism second survival first just made it so much different to any COD game at the time, even MW2 the next release didn’t have that.
I wouldn't compare COD 2 to Kelly's Heroes. COD 2 had it's own vibe going on. It was basically the straight man of the series. It didn't try to be patriotic or cynical; just earnest like those old British war documentary series. COD 3 was like a sequel to The Longest Day, if anything, and COD 1 was like a bunch of different movies because that's what the game was more or less trying to emulate.
@redaug4212 No COD 2 wasn't even dark. It felt like Saving Private Ryan.
@@johnhayden4226 You think that all WWII games have to be edgy to be good?
@@redaug4212 Most WWII shooters of the time were not edgy at all. its been almost 20 years now (which is crazy in itself) so maybe people don't remember how much of a departure WaW was from the WWII Fps genre
@@tpp5151 I'm aware. My point is that being edgy is not a requisite for depicting the WWII setting with integrity. In some cases, it does the opposite. COD 2 hit the right chord between all the COD games set during WWII. Neither adventuresome like COD 1, nor melodramatic like WAW.
Loved that mission towards the end where you're fighting your way up the stairs of the captiol building of Nazi Germany. Would love to replay that mission. Also, the missions in the Pacific theater.
For sure! I love that ending cut scene. Classic.
Uraaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
You mean the reichstag?
Missed some historical accuracy but it was epic. The Reichstag was actually defended by French and Dutch SS, not Germans. The German Army were almost completely depleted by that point.
This is the game that really got me into online multiplayer gaming. It's hard to describe the level of nostalgia that I feel for it. Just wish I could go back.
Was always Word at War over cod 4 for me, I don’t know why but it just seemed more fun to play, I was about 11 when it came out and used to love playing split screen on castle with my old man. The intro and menu music is the most iconic in my opinion, even more than mw2 and the story mode is up there with one of the best, you actually forget how good the campaign is until you go back and play it again, you will never get such a dark gritty world war game ever again. Good times
The atmosphere always made it more enjoyable for me. Also the guns in Modern Warfare felt like space lasers - no recoil whatsoever lol
14 Years Since This Game Released and It's Still Awesome to this Day.
My fondest CoD memories are almost all from World at War. What a great game. It’s one of the few that I genuinely hope gets a complete remake.
This was my first Call of Duty game and I absolutely loved it. I didn’t even play CoD4 until after MW2 came out!
Me too
Same
Yeah same. WaW was the FPS that killed all other shooters for me.
This was a real war game, pain, suffer, scary, was just brutal in his form one of the best cod ever made.
Man, I really appreciate you going back to these older cod’s. They all have a special place in my memories, qnd it feels good to know im not the only one who thinks about them time to time and is curious about them. They really changed video games
The cut scenes really set the tone in between each level and did a fantastic job in forcing emotional investmen in the campaign. No theatrics, no high-definition cinematics just exposing the player to glimpses of the real grittiness of war. I have never been more invested in a Call of Duty campaign.
Games going on 15 years old, and I still believe it is the best WW2 games we’ve ever had. I was in high school when this game came out, and I still boot it up today just to get that nostalgia hit. Loved it
I started revisiting old world war 2 games, mainly Wolfenstein 2009, Brothers In Arms Hells Highway, and World At War, and honestly I think those kinds of things really shaped my identity as an artist
Holy shit I forgot about Brothers in Arms, I used to always think about that game but could never remember the name.
What disappoints me is Treyarch pulled this game off, then proceeded to make the bangers that are BO1 and BO2, and then proceeded to make garbage games for the next 3 titles. (BO3 had solid zombies though)
Honestly I still think this game looks shockingly good for the time, and imo the best looking cod graphically until ghosts or bo2
The memories I have of playing zombies in waw and black ops are genuinely some of the best times in my entire life. Sounds a lot more sad than it is lol I was kind of a jock and party boy later but before all of that me and my best friend played zombies everyday for a whole summer and bought all the map packs as they came out. Great times.
I'm glad people still talk about this game. It's one of my all time favorites. They don't have Gary Old man in WZ..
Even today, while playing this campaign, you feel like you are there, fighting alongside people. And the section where we crawl through dead bodies, my god i still get goosebumps playing it.
It’s worth mentioning that “Treyarch” were absolutely NOT excited about the mode. Jesse Sneider, the guy who made Nazi Zombies has spoken about how hostile and jealous Treyarch Management were towards his project.
It had to be done in secret to avoid the ire of the higher ups who ironically retroactively pretended they were always on board and that “it was just a cute little project during lunch” by folks like Blundell (who was one of the hostile higher ups)
This is the game that not only got me on the CoD hype train, but also what got me to really delve into world history and actually got my dad interested in gaming as he is big into history and gave us something new to bond over. Fantastic game and whenever they announce a new WWII game in the series, I can’t help but hope that it’s like WaW in tone and presentation. Hell, I’d even take a remaster similar to CoD4 or the MW2 campaign and frankly I’m surprised that they haven’t done something like that for WaW..
I was literally just looking for this video earlier today, disappointed you didn't review it and what do you know? You post it just now! Now that's a miracle.
World at War is one of my favorite FPS titles of all time. Despite how much I say I like Black Ops II more, I ironically hold World at War as the only COD that I put in higher regard. Much respect for this game
Ive been waiting for you to cover my favorite gamr for weeks now.
This game built such an impressive atmosphere. It was a horror game first, an FPS second, and the Zombies mode was just the cherry on the top.
Personally, I was getting kinda sick of CoD after MW3 came out, but recently I've been wanting to go back and play WaW and Black Ops, and MW1. It was hard to ignore these games if you were a console player, I was like 14 and all my friends and family were into call of duty, it was insane!!
I played every cod growing up. Cod 4 really put me back in my seat. But when waw came out I was completely blown away and became a hardcore cod lover ever since
There has never been a campaign that captures the time like WAW did. Don’t get me wrong bo1 had a fantastic campaign based around a highly imaginative premise, but WAW really captured the real life like no other cod before or since. The depiction of such a brutal time held no punches, and that is why it is so replayable to this day. An absolute work of art.
I was way too young to play this game when it came out, but my brother was able to so I’d watch him play instead. It feels weird to have so much nostalgia for a game I never actually got to play, but I hear the music and I see the graphics and the zombie maps and noises and just get all giddy.
I adore watching videos of people going back to this game in depth, it just makes me smile
I wish cod would go back to that creepy aesthetic
This is was first Call to Duty, will always have a place in my heart. Spent hours trying to beat on Veteran.
This was the game that changed online gaming for me forever the multiplayer was amazing I spent 30 days played of actual time in about a year in a halfs time which is crazy considering I did switch to play other games and I also played a lot of basketball around this time at one point I was ranked 200+ in the world in search and destroy. This was also the game I started playing on gamebattles man the memories this game brings is amazing I hope they remaster it
This game was my childhood… I think I was in 8th grade when this came out. So nostalgic
WaW was also the first one I got super into. I owned cod 2 and 3 and modern warfare but WaW was gritty and violent and it blew me away as a kid and made me a cod fan for life
This game was the reason I got interested in the battle of Stalingrad. I now have a PhD in history and my focus was WW2 and the eastern front.
Also, the first scene of the the Russian campaign was a direct ripoff of the movie "Enemy at the Gates." Fucking masterful.
Love these cod reviews copper! My only complaint is that in most of them, the audio of you speaking over gameplay is a lot louder than the volume of interviews from devs or cutscenes. I often have to frequently adjust my volume, but other than, I love these vids!
Campaign wasn't very fun!? Omg, the first cod coop!? It was amazing! For the longest time, my friends and I would always come back to this on Memorial day and go through the campaign! REZNOV MAN!
That tank mission was my nightmare. Also I loved waw for the zombies. My first "boyfriend" got me hooked on playing and I haven't looked back since
Still to this day, this games campaign on Veteran difficulty is one the hardest things to beat in any video game ever...
I imagine there might be one or a few people out there who have beaten it without getting killed by the endless grenade spam but just know this game was the stuff of nightmares literally in every sense of the word.
At the same time I still to this day even though BO2 is my favorite COD of all time think this game has the best music out of any game in the franchise. It's so true to the times of which World War 2 was like.
In some ways you could say a game like WW2 was commemoration game for the veterans and those who served in the war while a game like World at War was one that explored the horrors of it all. That menu music to this day still is one of the most chilling things I've ever listened to...
This game is so underrated and I wish more would talk about it.🙏
That menu music ooooooft
@@yamimarik it's soooo good man
It is definitely the best game I'd argue that I've played (I personally like it more than Black Ops but Black Ops is definitely a close second) I actually got it like last year on sale on steam just for fun and beat it on Veteran earlier this year it is my favorite game just due to how it tells the story the hold no punches, no censoring, balls out, charge in approach. Multiplayer is alright but Zombies and Campaign are top notch zombies was better than WWII zombies in my opinion lol
@@Rambling-Gamer786 ya man you make a lot of good points, this game really is just awesome in every way and if they made this kind of COD game again nowadays I think people would be up in arms trying to play it
Also not in the World War 2 sense since we've already gotten that like 7 times but the game itself
COD4 campaign is harder. See "Mile High Club" "One shot one Kill" and "No fighting in the war room".
I considered it a blend of cod2&4 with bloody extravaganza. Zombies was so freaking good aswell, oh my lord dont get me started, made me hooked for sure!
When this game launches I went to Walmart first thing in the morning and they hadn’t received their copies yet! It wasn’t until 9 at night that the finally got the game in. I paid for my brother to take a cab to Walmart to pick it up, then we proceeded to stay up all night playing. Man I miss those days
Also, this game having a flamethrower was big selling point. Atleast to
My brother, he wouldn’t shut up about it. Lol
Shittt how old are you?
WAW is and probably will remain my favorite. Its just so perfect in every aspect every time I played.
I got this game as my first game for my PS3 and it was right around the time MW2 came out so it was technically a weird time to get WAW. I think the main reason I got it was to play zombies with buddies but I ended up getting hooked on the multiplayer online and I feel like it really made me better at all the cods I ended up getting after which was COD 4 and MW2 was my 3rd. I was crazy that even 5-6 years after the game was released I remember coming back to each games online mode and the online community was still crazy active with many new players…a lot different then what happens now after a game dies. Great memories.
What do you mean by "one of the shortest campaigns ever"? It's slightly longer than almost all other campaigns. That's what it felt like as well.
Haha I remember back in the day arguing with classmates in middle school cod4 or WaW I mean both are great and especially nowadays both are part of what's seen as the golden age of CoD. Miss those days I'll probably go back and play the campaign of all these games again for the fun of it really cool seeing this game development story.
I can confidently say that WaW was the MOST fun I ever had in a Call of Duty game. Between the zombies and the amazing campaign, to the multiplayer that really captured the competitive spirit that the franchise is known for without any gimmicks, what a solid game. 10/10
I remember 2008, going to spend the night at my buddies house and we be playing Nazi Zombie's late at night. This game was so much fun playing but it would legitimately scare me.
Great video, but I just thought I should mention, there does exist "Call of Duty V" prototypes that were built before CoD4 in early 2007, they help provide great insight into how far along the game was at that point, it was some test maps, CoD2 weapons, an early CoD4 engine and codebase, a lot of placeholders, BUT that being said, in the prototypes there's also a lot of new stuff that ended up in the final game, namely animations and weapons. But how they went from that in May 2007 to the final game just a year and a half later is astounding, cause it was merely a test at that point and nothing more.
Thanks ChOpper for all your amazing videos. I played all the cods tell bo1. Then I stopped now in 2022 I decided to go back and play the ones I messed because of this channel. Oh and last night I found my ps3 with some games and my old pc hard drive with a lot. Got a lot of catching up to do.
Love this series
I've never met a man I agree with so much like chopper I've been watching him since the PUBG days then stopped when he went into the call of duty phase ever since he starting these videos I've been enjoying his content again
I’ve watched every one of these start to finish and will continue to do so
19:00 I do remember a way to use death cards in solo WaW, it was something to the effect of doing a local split screen co-op but only starting it with one person or something like that
My first cod ever, this game is 10/10. Fun multiplayer memorable and gritty campaign and iconic zombies. Treyarch really had fun making this one you just tell
Waw won me over as a cod player when playing online dismemberment was in the realm of mp..when I seen this I was in love! Throw a grenade you lose limbs or rocket launched! The gritty that COD4 or medal of honor of then and beyond...that's all it took for me to prove a shooter had realistic effects that even today cod doesn't provide in mp only zombies Wich in waw carried it through game zombie and mp! That's how stoked I was ever for a cod...realistic physic's! Agh the good ol days🥂✨
Thank you for making this video more documentaries need to be made about World at War actually tell people how games were actually made and the love and dedication thay put into making it.
Barebones is what makes it so good. No bunny hopping around corners, no nicky minaj skins running around and no OP killstreaks forcing me to hide in a building for half the game.
Love these videos Ch0pper!!
Dude never fails to bring me back in time!
This game got me into gaming. So many good memories. Thanks for the great vid!
World at war is so good. It’s like top tier game. I don’t have much nostalgia for it because I started playing it about 1-2 years ago
The thing I loved about WaW was I could go through the missions and go "hey, those guys look like [insert zombies characters here]... *10 mins and a dozen kills later* Those guys look like [zombies characters] also!"
still remember that zombie scaring the shit outta me as a child like it was yesterday 💀💀
I love this game. Every voice actor made the game feel so visceral. There are so many small details that contribute to showing us how horrific ww2 was
This was an awesome experience man. Great Content!
The birthplace of Treyarch Zombies, the last historical and harsh campaign, and especially creative and unique multiplayer maps. No other COD had such a solid Trifecta.
"The last historical and harsh campaign" yeah, because Black Ops 1 TOTALLY didn't take place in the 1960s or had graphic imagery. Seriously, get your head out of your rear end.
Oh yea, Black Ops 1 had unique maps too, as this video poster pointed out in his video on that game, so get dunked on.
You could actually glitch the game and use death cards in zombies. Was fun. Could be the reason similar mechanics were added in later zombies
The story of both the campaigns was so good.
Also it’s fulfilling playing complimentary stories, yet so different.
That campaign co-op was so much fun to play with friends, four people playing veteran.... It was super intense
I hope Chopper makes a video essay on MW3 next.
W vid cant wait for a mw2 2022 vid
It's funny, my dad is 52 and he told me the other day at our Thanksgiving dinner that he wishes he still had his Xbox 360 so he could play World at War. It is one of his favorite video games of all time (interestingly alongside Jak and Daxter) and he loved it for the same reasons many of us still do and many of those you mentioned: it had a very dark and somber tone on warfare and did not glorify the second World War.
He said (paraphrasing here) that the tone of the game felt like it respected the horrors of war, and the sacrifices that were made in the second World War while also being enjoyable and engaging to play.
Guess what his Christmas gift is this year? That's right, an Xbox and Call of Duty World at War
should have got him a skateboard
The miracle is that this is the first video of yours that I found and world at war is my all-time favorite call of duty!
Love you Ch0pper
Oh I hated this cod with every fiber of my body. I had a Wii when WaW launched so the first couple of months of WaW I played on a Wii. I think it had only 7 MP maps, and some campaign missions were cut. When I turned 13, 3 months into WaWs cycle, I was legally allowed to get a job and make my own money. By now it was nearly June and I saved enough to buy a PS3 with WaW, oh the joy :D. That joy was crushed when I found out WaW was been getting a ton of DLC packs and didn't take those bundles into account when matchmaking. Meaning I worked for multiple months to get the full WaW experience, only to get kicked back to the main menu like a peasant every time a DLC mape came up in the rotation. It did teach me a valuable lesson tho: all these companies care about is how much money they can extract from you, and to say your just a number to them would be generous.
DLC maps were free on PC, all of them.
On steam you can get whole game for about £50.
maybe because you know other people had the dlcs
@@CountlessPWNZ Why, just to rub some salt in the wounds?
@@piotrmontgomerytv7786 Thats great and all but our family pc back then could hardly handle OG snake or tanks/worms back then.
Campaign, atmosphere, music, zombies for the first time. For me the best CoD there’s been and will always hold a special place in my heart❤
The love I have for this title is unmatched. I was christened on CoD4 but I didn’t fully immerse myself in the Call of Duty experience until World at Was. Still the only CoD title I’ve achieved 10th prestige on.
I want a WaW remaster so bad
I think you should release an episode to this series that covers the history of mods in Call of Duty games. Yeah sure, all of the base games are cool, but it's how players modify them that gives them their extreme longevity. That would make a fantastic addition to this series!
WaW multilayer was lots of fun. For whatever reason 12 year old me probably put 5x more time in cod4 multiplayer (with days played for both). Looking back that seems a bit strange, but it really speaks to what an absolute masterpiece cod4 multiplayer is. I agree that WaW had the cooler and darker theme, and love it so much. Like many others, both games and specifically WaW zombies was a big part of what my friends and I really enjoyed together growing up
