@Umbrella Corporation Dont forget they had 128 mm guns and multible 36 mm and 20 mm guns. They were used to defend Berlin against bombers and hold the civilian population safe during the raids. As Berlin got bombed and ruined it were some of the only buildings left with electracity and running water for the civilian population. During the battle of Berlin they used the flak guns on the towers to take out soviet armor in the streets. After the war the allies wanted to remove the towers and packed them with tons of explosives. But could not fully demolish the reinforced structure so they buried it instead. Some parts of the towers at Berlin can still be seen today.
COD4 and WAW Difficulty Levels Regular: A little bit of grenades. Recruit: A lot of grenades. Hardened: Shit ton of grenades. Veteran: Grenades rain from the sky.
Certainly signified that this assault marked the end of a regime that inflicted great suffering, while also fighting desperately against an equally titanic enemy who would also enact great power and control at war's end.

The battle was room by room, floor by floor, which started on April 30th and didn’t end with complete control by the Soviets until May 2nd. A couple hundred Germans died in the battle, couple hundred surrendered/were wounded, and part of the Waffen SS Leibstandarte escaped the building to go on and fight another day.
the volksturm were only entitled to 5 rounds of ammo each also the LSSAH fought to the death so they made sure they died by taking down a few soviets berlin was absolutely brutal
One thing I personally loved about WaW soundtrack is it sounds like you're just destroying and crushing the enemy, not necessarily with a goal. It sounds rather menacing and sinister, not necessarily heroic or valorous.
What makes a good gaming experience is when you relate to the music more along with the theme and gameplay. Which makes you feel less of righteous but along side of the brutality of either side. However, even the slow sombre moments just show how much thought/effort was put in these games.
representation and depiction of war without a single strand of propagandistic heroism many of “war stories” seems to tell, it really doesn’t get any better than this
@Dead Op No you dont you play as a cia agent,tier 1 sas operator and london anti terror force there is no "black transgender woman in the game" where did you even get that from?
No modern cod player can remember the pain in the arse that this mission was in Veteran. Not even "No fighting in the War Room" , the Favela from MW2, or Mile High Club. This is the definition of pain and desperation
I’m a modern cod player and I’ve done that mission on veteran. Took me almost a day lmao but I did it. But tbh I stoped playing cod after Bo2 so modern warfare is my first “modern cod” game
Despite my love for Nazi zombies, I wish more people would associate "Hell's Gate" (6:20) with the charge on the Reichstag rather than the round changing. Such an awesome moment in the campaign, specially on Veteran.
@@guardsmangaming3775 Oh yea. The only people that like brown shirts are other brown shirts. I still see no difference between them and the antifa people lmao.
Whenever I hear this, I think it has a double meaning. Yes in the mission you and reznov are in the heart of the reich, but the song itself, along with its use in zombies implies a different meaning. Like in the context of zombies, the heart of the reich is almost unkillable and horrific in its presence, the song feels like you’re holding out against an unstoppable tide. Like the heart of the reich has become the undead.
Did you know? The Wunderwaffe project did bear fruit by 1945. During the Battle of Berlin the German Army was equipped with magic grenades that would home in on targets and were infinite, as well as cloning machines so they could spawn endless waves of soldiers. I learned this from this level on Veteran. It's true.
The part that starts at 6:21 and ends at 7:38 is my favorite part, especially when the electric guitar comes at 7:13 and when it does, you can feel the war's rage. Damn, the music in COD back then was so good. I miss the old days.
7:13 Probably represents the rage of the Soviets and the sheer desperation of the Germans as every bullet they shoot is every inch the Soviets gain ground infront of the Reichstag
My favorite part is closer to the end at around the 9:40 10 minute mark. It's building up to the next level, the next part in your journey through this hell.
I love how this soundtrack has some screaming in the midst of it but I’m not sure if it is but the real reason I love it is because it is a type of revenge or blood lust soundtrack and the Germans weren’t even fighting to keep the reich standing, they fought for their lives because the Germans die even when surrendering. Overall this is a great track because it encapsulates the feeling of revenge and blood lust and hatred.
12 years, a military career, and a ton of self therapy later, and that scene where Reznov holds Chernov's hand in his last moments gets stronger each time i see it.
the guitars playing at 1:00 and the drum kicks at 1:34 sound an awful lot like a machine gun, this is easily my favorite track from WAW just because of this detail. You’ll never see that much creative effort brought into a video game.
That off-key melody at 2:39 gives this so much personality. it sounds like the climax of a military march, like a soldier faintly remembering false promises of honor and glory in the middle of the horrors of war
yeah its really great the fact that its off-key really makes it stand out and combined with the guitar it really makes the soundtrack seem espcially hectic as urban combat should be

After the embarassment of Vanguard, I played WAW again and, after so many years, appreciated it more than before for how it perfectly described WW2. The destroyed landscapes, the barbarism and brutality, the excessive destruction, the fitting grey and brown colors, the depressing atmosphere, the undecisive and forebodding soundtrack... it's soul-crushing. And aside from some historical mishaps here and there, I actually _felt like I was in WW2,_ from Stalingrad to Peleliu, and Berlin to Okinawa. I could picture myself as a German soldier desperately defending the capital despite knowing everything was lost, or as a Marine Raider begging to come back alive while waiting for the next Japanese attack. And the ending, with the montage and the nuclear bomb and the somber atmosphere, tells you not as a player, but as a person: _this event happened, it wasn't pretty, and it had _*_consequences._* That's why I hate Vanguard: beyond the stupid attachments and the out-of-place multiplayer, it's simply a spit in the face to everyone who fought, died, or were mentally/physically scarred by the war. It's nothing more than a bunch of SJW babble, historical inacurracies that'll make serious historians commit seppuku in their classrooms, incoherent storylines, cartoonish good vs evil gimmicks with unlikeable, boring protagonists (minus the Australian), and obvious contempt for the history of what happened. Then again, the main writer was a fricking SJW.
I do swear Ghosts was a good one. It was modern but still had a certain type of fear in it. To know one of your own, the one who knows you inside out, is there on the loose. He counteracts every move and he goddamn wins in the end despite everything you’ve thrown at him
really well put. the end of your second paragraph is something I think about often now when I remember playing this game. as teens wanting to play video games, everything about the campaign culminating in the ending archival footage of the Enola Gay and General MacArthur discussing the desire for peace and the tones as the text said: never forget that this actually happened, it was the deadliest and most destructive conflict in human history. utterly chilling, and I bet a lot of teens who never went to war developed a seed of distaste for it rather than think it’s cool - contrary to the then in vogue argument by media personalities that video games encourage violence.
9:32 Damn, that scream shows how gritty and dark treyarch made this game and it's soundtrack, it makes me think about a soldier that became mad during all the horrible things he saw during the war... (Sorry for my English)
The last mission I swear almost gave me ptsd, you realize the men you are fighting are in bandages, they know they will not be spared, and death would come faster or slower. Then as you pass a certain hall, soviets mercilessly killing german soldiers. And the ending cutscene telling you the effects of ww2 was bone chilling.
the whole german army surrendered all at once the chances of being spared would be much higher considering most of the executions were right after the battle ended and the russian soldiers were still filled with adrenaline, and anger. fact of the matter is, all the soldiers who defended the Riechstag were devoted nazi fanatics who preffered to die than to see their racist ideaology fail.
That's so true. The character models told so much. You had old men (WW1 vets), young men in clean SS uniforms (Hitler youths) and men in bandages (Injured soldiers being sent back into the fray)

only prob,at the time,people werent so crybabys for games so gritty and dark,but now if you remaster such a realistic,dark and grityy game,they will basically be thanos snapped out of existence with complaints
@@PanzerHistorian even back then they where remember "No Russian" from BO2 remember how every single news article spot and practically media as a whole just kept talking about it even though at the very start of every campaign hell even the first thing you see before gameplay is a warning saying "This content may be offensive to some audience do you wish to proceed" and the media still hated it.
Damn me being a zoomer, I really missed out on what people call the "glory days". This OST scares me shitless...and I think it's supposed to be this way. I love it
Play it, my first COD was AW, but i got World at War and had a sick feeling at the end, asking myself why WW2 had to be as brutal as it was, why 60 million people had to die in such brutal ways.
They need to remaster this game... it's been 11 years since I played it. I was 8 years old. I want to relive the campaign just as I remember it: with hyper-realistic graphics that made it so tense...
I finished this game yesterday, took me 8 hours to finish all campaign on veteran. I must say this campaign itself it's actually pure hell indeed, grenades are everywhere literally
Interesting history trivia by mistake the 20 Pzg (panzer grenadiers), 18 Pzg, 11 SS Pzg, and 9Fj (Fallschirmjäger) division supply for grenades (about 2 mounts worth) was shipped to the reichstag. Due to a failure in communication within the logistical department was forgotten just before the siege started when the last desperate defenders found the enormous supply of grenades a unknown officer was quoted as saying "Dimitri leck meinen Arsch", before giving the order to have all of his man be supplied with 2 box's each (15 in a box). However statements recovered from a Russians war diary revealed that the Germans took the liberty of taking up to 5 boxes as of today its yet unknown who the officer was referring to. Tho some have proposed the idea it was just a outer version of "Ivan" a generic term used by the Germans many more have taken issue with this as the same diary mentioned to a "Demitri" more then once. marvels thing history is it not ? such small and intriguing story's in such a vast event.
The grenades…I can still hear them…I can still see the grenade icon appear and the throw back button…I can still hear the death sound playing over and over again…
When i mentioned "i like war games", this is what i mean,dark,horrible,true to reality. Not some kind of rave party with neon skin and water gun design.
0:01. Couple minute break before the assault on Reichstag. 1:00. Light German resistance while taking a left flank. 5:31. Moments before the assault on Reichstag. 6:20. Assaulting the Reichstag while encountering a heavy German defenses. 10:25. Chernov's sacrifice.
i have it on ps 3 and i revisit it every once in a while , and its great , the nostalgia the brutality but also the messages and tones it sets , absolute masterpiece
World at War had such a fantastic soundtrack that complimented its dark, unapologetic and (mostly) authentic campaign. It legitimately felt like a war, that everyone had blood on their hands and there was no turning back, and it especially felt like that there were no winners...only the victims of men who thought they were right.
Fun fact, the double kick drums you hear in this song have the same beats per minute as the MG42 does in cyclic rounds per minute. 1200. This was done intentionally in every part of the russian campaign, and as the story progresses, the duration and intensity of the drums being used increases to reflect the use of the MG42 during that stage of the war. In the early parts, the bursts of drumbeats are controlled, and evenly paced, a well trained gunner firing in a few second bursts. By the time the war has reached Berlin, the bursts of the drums are longer, and there are less breaks in between, as if a poorly trained conscript, or panicking soldier is manning the gun now.
So many great memories. Hearing the flute as the final battle rages arouns the Reichstag; first time we see the SS in black uniforms (the game called them the Honour Guard)- finally completing this and the last mission, and unlocking the first ever zombies game... My teen years and some of the fondest memories are enclosed in this game
Imagine this campaign but you're a veteran german soldier and it culminates in your death, knowing everything you struggled with and endured was all for naught in the end

No modern cod player can remember the pain in the arse that this mission was in Veteran. Not even "No fighting in the War Room" , the Favela from MW2, or Mile High Club. This is the definition of pain and desperation
I’m a modern cod player and I’ve done that mission on veteran. Took me almost a day lmao but I did it. But tbh I stoped playing cod after Bo2 so modern warfare is my first “modern cod” game
More like pure masochism.

Whenever I hear this, I think it has a double meaning. Yes in the mission you and reznov are in the heart of the reich, but the song itself, along with its use in zombies implies a different meaning. Like in the context of zombies, the heart of the reich is almost unkillable and horrific in its presence, the song feels like you’re holding out against an unstoppable tide. Like the heart of the reich has become the undead.
Nice to see you here dude!
Not the rule 34 payday pfp
"You drove them deep into the *heart* *of* *the* *Reich* , you thought they were dead, you were wrong."
Did you know? The Wunderwaffe project did bear fruit by 1945. During the Battle of Berlin the German Army was equipped with magic grenades that would home in on targets and were infinite, as well as cloning machines so they could spawn endless waves of soldiers.
I learned this from this level on Veteran. It's true.
The part that starts at 6:21 and ends at 7:38 is my favorite part, especially when the electric guitar comes at 7:13 and when it does, you can feel the war's rage. Damn, the music in COD back then was so good. I miss the old days.
7:13 Probably represents the rage of the Soviets and the sheer desperation of the Germans as every bullet they shoot is every inch the Soviets gain ground infront of the Reichstag
Especially that yell right at 6:21 really sets the intent
Why does it sound like C&C ost I'm crying
My favorite part is closer to the end at around the 9:40 10 minute mark. It's building up to the next level, the next part in your journey through this hell.
This song is the meaning of war. The meaning of hatred, of genocide, of fear, of death.
This song is the meaning of Veteran.
When we first played Black Ops 1, when we see Reznov. *Oh sh*t, he's back!* When we find out he died at Volkuta. *Sadness*
It's actually vorkuta
And then his flashback mission, Dimitri dies from Nova 6. Dragovich, Kranchenkov, Steiner…ALL MUST DIE!
Reznov escaped and hid in the Taiga until he died, and then became a zombie.

@@crazyfranky8627i think actually no
Seriously.
I love how this soundtrack has some screaming in the midst of it but I’m not sure if it is but the real reason I love it is because it is a type of revenge or blood lust soundtrack and the Germans weren’t even fighting to keep the reich standing, they fought for their lives because the Germans die even when surrendering. Overall this is a great track because it encapsulates the feeling of revenge and blood lust and hatred.
12 years, a military career, and a ton of self therapy later, and that scene where Reznov holds Chernov's hand in his last moments gets stronger each time i see it.
6:20 nostalgia
Waw zombies and campaing vibes. Still one of my favorites
Ahhh I miss the old times
Hey that's remember like when you end a round in zombies
Call me crazy but it reminds me of cnc.(no,not rivals.we dont talk about that)
MASOOOOOOON
the guitars playing at 1:00 and the drum kicks at 1:34 sound an awful lot like a machine gun, this is easily my favorite track from WAW just because of this detail. You’ll never see that much creative effort brought into a video game.
That off-key melody at 2:39 gives this so much personality. it sounds like the climax of a military march, like a soldier faintly remembering false promises of honor and glory in the middle of the horrors of war
yeah its really great the fact that its off-key really makes it stand out and combined with the guitar it really makes the soundtrack seem espcially hectic as urban combat should be
2:00 that violin is hot
The song that starts at 6:30 gets stuck in my head like twice per week even if I haven’t played this game in years

This soundtrack is so awesome, it's like it's own genre, creepy ww2 djent
WW2 rock music BABY!!!
After the embarassment of Vanguard, I played WAW again and, after so many years, appreciated it more than before for how it perfectly described WW2.
The destroyed landscapes, the barbarism and brutality, the excessive destruction, the fitting grey and brown colors, the depressing atmosphere, the undecisive and forebodding soundtrack... it's soul-crushing. And aside from some historical mishaps here and there, I actually _felt like I was in WW2,_ from Stalingrad to Peleliu, and Berlin to Okinawa. I could picture myself as a German soldier desperately defending the capital despite knowing everything was lost, or as a Marine Raider begging to come back alive while waiting for the next Japanese attack. And the ending, with the montage and the nuclear bomb and the somber atmosphere, tells you not as a player, but as a person: _this event happened, it wasn't pretty, and it had _*_consequences._*
That's why I hate Vanguard: beyond the stupid attachments and the out-of-place multiplayer, it's simply a spit in the face to everyone who fought, died, or were mentally/physically scarred by the war. It's nothing more than a bunch of SJW babble, historical inacurracies that'll make serious historians commit seppuku in their classrooms, incoherent storylines, cartoonish good vs evil gimmicks with unlikeable, boring protagonists (minus the Australian), and obvious contempt for the history of what happened. Then again, the main writer was a fricking SJW.
I do swear Ghosts was a good one. It was modern but still had a certain type of fear in it. To know one of your own, the one who knows you inside out, is there on the loose. He counteracts every move and he goddamn wins in the end despite everything you’ve thrown at him
And COD WW2 is somewhere inbetween
Well spoken
really well put. the end of your second paragraph is something I think about often now when I remember playing this game.
as teens wanting to play video games, everything about the campaign culminating in the ending archival footage of the Enola Gay and General MacArthur discussing the desire for peace and the tones as the text said: never forget that this actually happened, it was the deadliest and most destructive conflict in human history. utterly chilling, and I bet a lot of teens who never went to war developed a seed of distaste for it rather than think it’s cool - contrary to the then in vogue argument by media personalities that video games encourage violence.
1:00 i can literally go on a charge with this song
From throwing potatoes as grenades, to grenades mashing your own potatoes.
Press G to survive for one more second.
This is some of the best soundtrack in the game!
@Loofy at least you understand it
Ah, yes. The Reichstag. That famous grenade factory.
"He wants mercy, what mercy did they show us?" *shoots kruat*
They should have thought about that before they THREW 10,000 GRENADES AT ME!
9:32 Damn, that scream shows how gritty and dark treyarch made this game and it's soundtrack, it makes me think about a soldier that became mad during all the horrible things he saw during the war...
(Sorry for my English)
Hi (Sorry for my English)
The last mission I swear almost gave me ptsd, you realize the men you are fighting are in bandages, they know they will not be spared, and death would come faster or slower. Then as you pass a certain hall, soviets mercilessly killing german soldiers. And the ending cutscene telling you the effects of ww2 was bone chilling.
the whole german army surrendered all at once the chances of being spared would be much higher considering most of the executions were right after the battle ended and the russian soldiers were still filled with adrenaline, and anger.
fact of the matter is, all the soldiers who defended the Riechstag were devoted nazi fanatics who preffered to die than to see their racist ideaology fail.
That's so true. The character models told so much. You had old men (WW1 vets), young men in clean SS uniforms (Hitler youths) and men in bandages (Injured soldiers being sent back into the fray)
And then you forget to mention the Rape of Berlin
@@yosefyonin6824 I’d only expect death if I surrendered to the soldiers of a nation which my nation had genocided, or try to surrender on the Western Front.
@@yosefyonin6824 very untrue, German troops, civilians, anyone and everyone was at the mercy of brutal Russian troops who'd already raped and pillaged their own lands and eastern Europe before reaching Germany. All they could do was fight and hold the line so more refugees could flee west
everyone talks about the brutality and such in this game that made it great, but let us not forget the amazing ost's this game had, every damn track is unique and gives a great atmosphere, it creates nostalgia
I miss this kind of cod, they should really remaster it, it would sell so well. We should make a petition
only prob,at the time,people werent so crybabys for games so gritty and dark,but now if you remaster such a realistic,dark and grityy game,they will basically be thanos snapped out of existence with complaints

@@PanzerHistorian I say screw them. If they gonna be offended then they shouldn't play it. Simple

9:30 - When the PTSD and survival instincts kick in
Damn me being a zoomer, I really missed out on what people call the "glory days". This OST scares me shitless...and I think it's supposed to be this way. I love it
You have to play dude. Its the scarest and arguably hardest campaigns, but its so worth it
Trust me you will not regret playing this game, all the depiction of war in it will make your stomach churn in a good way
Me also a zoomer but who has a older brother *laughs in russian*
Play it, my first COD was AW, but i got World at War and had a sick feeling at the end, asking myself why WW2 had to be as brutal as it was, why 60 million people had to die in such brutal ways.
Zoomed myself but managed to play the game when my dad bought it back in 2010. The nostalgia from that game alone hits hard
They need to remaster this game... it's been 11 years since I played it. I was 8 years old. I want to relive the campaign just as I remember it: with hyper-realistic graphics that made it so tense...
We need a remake of it! that game was sooo gory and epic
They would get triggered you can play as actual natzis in multiplayer with the Hugo boss and shit
then don't wait for a remaster that would most likely butcher this masterpiece anyway and just play it? it runs perfectly fine on modern systems
That's if they manage to get the multiplayer working
I finished this game yesterday, took me 8 hours to finish all campaign on veteran. I must say this campaign itself it's actually pure hell indeed, grenades are everywhere literally
Interesting history trivia by mistake the 20 Pzg (panzer grenadiers), 18 Pzg, 11 SS Pzg, and 9Fj (Fallschirmjäger) division supply for grenades (about 2 mounts worth) was shipped to the reichstag. Due to a failure in communication within the logistical department was forgotten just before the siege started when the last desperate defenders found the enormous supply of grenades a unknown officer was quoted as saying "Dimitri leck meinen Arsch", before giving the order to have all of his man be supplied with 2 box's each (15 in a box).
However statements recovered from a Russians war diary revealed that the Germans took the liberty of taking up to 5 boxes as of today its yet unknown who the officer was referring to.
Tho some have proposed the idea it was just a outer version of "Ivan" a generic term used by the Germans many more have taken issue with this as the same diary mentioned to a "Demitri" more then once.
marvels thing history is it not ? such small and intriguing story's in such a vast event.
The grenades…I can still hear them…I can still see the grenade icon appear and the throw back button…I can still hear the death sound playing over and over again…
When i mentioned "i like war games", this is what i mean,dark,horrible,true to reality. Not some kind of rave party with neon skin and water gun design.
3:06 i love the way the guitar fades in
0:01. Couple minute break before the assault on Reichstag.
1:00. Light German resistance while taking a left flank.

World at War had such a fantastic soundtrack that complimented its dark, unapologetic and (mostly) authentic campaign. It legitimately felt like a war, that everyone had blood on their hands and there was no turning back, and it especially felt like that there were no winners...only the victims of men who thought they were right.
Fun fact, the double kick drums you hear in this song have the same beats per minute as the MG42 does in cyclic rounds per minute. 1200.
This was done intentionally in every part of the russian campaign, and as the story progresses, the duration and intensity of the drums being used increases to reflect the use of the MG42 during that stage of the war.
In the early parts, the bursts of drumbeats are controlled, and evenly paced, a well trained gunner firing in a few second bursts.
By the time the war has reached Berlin, the bursts of the drums are longer, and there are less breaks in between, as if a poorly trained conscript, or panicking soldier is manning the gun now.
At 11:00 minutes, you hear the choir voices they used for Nazi Zombies....I get the chills when I hear that shit for real
0:24 The music seems to say that you have reached victory but at what cost?
2:08 The madness and horror of this war.
The only victory in war is a Pyrrhic Victory.

My teen years and some of the fondest memories are enclosed in this game
1:34 If you listen closely you can actually hear some people screaming, Which represents the horror of that battle of berlin was scary as fuck .
The most difficult CoD mission on veteran of all time... Imagine being an actual soldier in this battle.

It's dark, scary, gives you adrenaline. Perfectly portrays WW2 as a whole.
Imagine this campaign but you're a veteran german soldier and it culminates in your death, knowing everything you struggled with and endured was all for naught in the end
