I know a lot of people mention 4:17 but good lord I just like this. Especially in 3:53 it shows that there’s somethings clearly wrong with Mason. He’s not himself what’s so ever. Basically foreshadowing that he’s been brainwashed and I love it. I especially love that when time slows down when JFK walks to his seat, the tv screens behind JFK show photos of the people who were involved in the assassination of JFK, even when he was in his car. Just makes your skin crawl and it makes you nervous what’s about to happen next. Even at 4:22 you hear this “woosh” sound like as if something is trying to kick into Mason to make him kill Kennedy. Honestly this Cod game has to be my favorite with Cod Bo2 and Cod WAW 2008.

4:15 notice after, how the numbers stop speaking, I know it’s pretty obvious the programming was broken by Reznov, but how is it that Mason was able to still kill (or at least participate) JFK in the ending scene? Than there’s the “Oswald Compromised” part of Revelations. My interpretation of the ending is that Mason was still free of the brainwashing taking control on the assassination day, and was even present as a bodyguard, but part of the internal part that Dragovitch installed was still functioning. So his sleeper cell self was still around deep in his mind and acknowledged the compromise of Oswald (after the fact) but the physical part of mason was still in control.

[@alrecks619]

Reznov is still a communist at heart, so Mason assassinating JFK had isn't something he really cared about, or that he mentioned about Mason also "being abandoned by his own superiors".

[@jareddyer3142]

I'm pretty sure since Mason believed Dragovich, Krevchanko and Steiner were all dead, the override caused from Reznov re-brainwashing him had ended. So he was still brainwashed and had to kill JFK.

[@notinsideyourwalls5636]

Well, it's not like Resnov intended to remove Dragovich's programming entirely. He just wanted to implement the order to kill Dragovich, Steiner and Kravchenko into Mason because he knew he couldn't do so himself.

[@sakulyah]

I think a direct quote used is "added to the kill list." The programming wasn't erased, but Mason still resists it. The reason he doesn't resist Reznov's programming, is that he trusts Reznov. It makes sense that when he realises Reznov betrayed him, it stops working as well.

[@RekRam00n]

It's scenes like this that the new generation of COD have lost. This one scene, the whole BO1 story even, was chilling. It added characterization and personality to the games individually. It was never afraid to get dark af. And not the classic, "oh no you just shot a civilian, what's wrong with you?" It wasn't afraid to be dark and chilling in regards to it's story and overall narrative. Each game felt different and unique. BO2 was just as good as this one story wise imo, for completely different reasons. Black Ops Cold War was a step in the right direction (kinda), but it still doesn't even come close to the old COD. One of the things I liked about it so much is that you remain in 1st person during a lot of the important cutscenes. It may seem like nitpicking, but I'm not a huge fan of zooming out of 1st person and it turning into a cinematic during a mission. A petty gripe, I know, but one I'm passionate about lol. It just ruined the immersion for me personally. I haven't been very satisfied with any COD stories since Waw, the old BO games, the old MW games, and believe it or not, Ghosts. I'm not a huge fan of the protagonist not talking in Ghosts, but meh, the story made up for it. Ww2 wasn't bad now that I think about it. The new Mw2 was okay and pretty fun, but it just lacks the story elements that these ones have. At least in my opinion lol. Forgive my ranting, I just needed to get this out after watching this😭

Ghosts’s was so badly written. The dialogue is so bad. Pacing was shit. The writer went on to write 2020’s dolittle which was godawful. It’s got some concepts. But the execution of the story was dogshit.

When I was a kid, on my first playthrough of black ops, I was barely paying attention on this part of the game. God damn how scared I got when it showed Mason pointing the gun at JFK. The screeching noise just added onto it. That shit freaked me tf out.
