In this video we dive into Call of Duty World at War. We take a look at how this game changed the tone of the series moving forward. We also look at a new gamemode that would become a staple of the Call of Duty experience.

24:00 It was about here that I felt the juxtaposition itself is a major source of the horror. The Soviet theater by itself is gruesome and brutal. But compare the differences side by side. The US side, it's a war of liberation, a righteous and justified retaliatory war, and heroes survive. Meanwhile, Reznov makes no bones about it, this is a war about vengeance, and heroes kill. During that first Soviet campaign, you get taught by Reznov to blow up flamethrowers and do it quietly, before they even have a chance to use them. But what's the first mission you get in the Pacific after that? "Go grab this flamethrower and take out those entrenched positions." It goes beyond just the atmospheric and narrative differences, it juxtaposes itself against previous installments and other WW2 centric media. Other COD games and Hollywood movies tell you it's about America helping to liberate Europe from the evil Nazis, and as for the Pacific theater especially in propaganda? Dehumanize the Japanese at every turn, and when they aren't doing that, make it all about saving them from that broken and suicidal code of honor. Reznov never says Nazi once. He never dehumanizes them or calls them evil. He knows they are human, he calls them German, and it's still all about vengeance, killing them, and bringing the same destruction you crawled through, the same starvation and corpse-riddled streets, the same light posts with bodies hanging from them to those Germans' homes. And in that Pacific theater? Your enemy is cunning, your enemy is devious, your enemy is determined, and you learn to anticipate, learn to use overwhelming force, learn to attack first in order to survive, and it's not lost on me that you never hang any soldiers in the Soviet campaign, but every time you shoot one of them treetop snipers in the Pacific, they fall from their perch and dangle from a rope. I mean, it's not quite "Spec Ops The Line" levels of brutal warfare and turning you into the bad guy, but it's definitely horror.

I never had the feeling of any sort of liberation or righteousness from the pacific campaign, it felt just as much about hate and revenge as the soviet theatre did. Everything you see and are shown of the Japanese depicts them as alien, sadistic, savage killers and you’re made to feel the hate of pvt miller grow from the word “go”. I’ll also disagree about Reznov, he uses dehumanizing language numerous times and while he never uses the ‘N’ word, he does call them numerous slurs and vulgarities (in Russian) and refers to them as “fash-ists” (misspelled so comment doesn’t get eaten), which was the preferred Soviet term for the Germans. It isn’t that he sees them as Germans and doesn’t care that they’re fellow humans because he wants revenge, he views Germans themselves as subhuman, as less than they are, which also tracks with the attitude red army soldiers had stoked by leadership in the party and the military.

An interesting fact that is often omitted was the Japanese forces were actually scared of the Americans. Propaganda taking half-truths to spin it. For example, the belief the marines are recruited from prisons and mental asylums. When examining American history with mass imprisonment, lynchings being public spectacles, and U.S. troops in the pacific front taking dead japanese soldiers' body parts as war trophies....

This was Call Of Duty at its peak. By tackling the two most brutal 'take no prisoners' theaters of WW2 without flinching or sugarcoating it, they brought the true horrors of war to our screens. I know the final text describing the war with the music brings about feelings of emptiness. I also believe that Chernov was the conscience of his squad trying to maintain his humanity and that of the others amidst a hell on earth.

As someone living in Japan, I didn't know that WaW had been banned at one point. It's one of the more popular COD entries amongst Japanese players, and has become something of a meme in the Japanese internet due to the awkward Japanese spoken during many of the cutscenes (the interrogation scene at the beginning of the game in particular is heavily meme'd on).

Genuinely terrified playing this as a kid. MW1, MW2, MW3, BO1, BO2 I never had the same issue. I’d still be semi scared playing those being 10 years old, but WAW was horrific. The opening game sound would give me goosebumps, the ambience, the quietness, the Nazi soldiers screams, the Japanese soldiers attack methods (basically charging or jump scaring 24/7) that I’d be in a constant panic. It’s such a unique and scary Call of Duty, so shockingly horrifying, a truly eerie experience. Playing through the campaign missions knowing your basically playing through the POV of real soldiers, makes me still dread playing the story to this day, now as an adult. And especially the introduction to Vendetta. I don’t think there’s a more horrible scene in a mission in all Call of Duty history. That scene was extremely sorrowful, watching it knowing that it’s what so many soviets experienced theirselves.

Given that the mission is set in 1945, it's unlikely that those were POW "hell ships". Not to mention that the idea of a PBY Catalina (a seaplane with no armor to speak of) taking on an entire merchant fleet + dozens of Japanese fighters is silly.

There was a moment for me when I realised that this game was different. The marines were preparing to storm an underground bunker. There was machine gun fire flying through the doorway, peppering the concrete wall facing it. One of the marines ran through the doorway and was immediately decapitated by the bullets. It was so sudden, so shocking and brutal. I just sat there staring at the body for a few seconds, thinking about how that probably happened in real life. At some point, somewhere, probably many times over a moment like that actually played out. 10/10, would vicariously develop PTSD again.

I genuinely think this game is one of, if not the best call of duty. Definitely the best campaign, it was the start of zombies and it wasn’t some ridiculous fantasy mode like it is now. And the multiplayer was tight with really fun guns. The gewehr 43 was my fun af and very good if you were accurate, and the mg42 wasn’t a nerfed slow firing weapon like modern ww2 games do because “OP” problem. The maps were great (except a few ig). And tanks in multiplayer!!! I could be wrong but only cod 3 and cod 5 have controllable tanks in the multiplayer. It’s a shame it’s a hack fest nowadays (I haven’t tried to play it in a handful of years tho). Also this video is very high quality and you deserve way more subs than you currently have!

Battlefield was amazing (especially 1) Walked away from BF after V and now I'm on Hell Let Loose. COD & BF made the same mistake, I don't want lime green, turquoise, or pink skins on my guns or extreme Michael Bday movie like cut scenes. I just f*cking want a realistic war game..... That's it..... That's f*cking it

Game: “look how brutal and terrible war is, look at the suffering you inflict” Me at 15 in 2009: “this is f***ing awesome, I can’t wait to be a marine when I grow up” (It was pretty cool, not how I thought it would be though)

The other thing about world at war is the campaigns they decided to go with period, the eastern front and the pacific were the two most brutal campaigns during the war. In both they were motivated purely by revenge and hatred for each other, in the eastern front soviets getting revenge for atrocities by germans by doing the same thing, and in the pacific revenge for pearl harbor. War crimes were non stop in these conflicts where they didn’t even see each other as human, treyarch did good there.

I have and always will call this my favorite in the series. I sang songs of praise for the game when it came out. No one acknowledged it then, but today WaW is finally getting the reverence it deserved. I still have the collectors edition canteen on my shelf.

I remember i was in HS when this game came out and nazi zombies scared the hell out of me the first few times i played. I remember playing alone in my basement and having a few jump scare moments that really got me. The online multiplayer was sick for its era too. Really first fps online multiplayer that really really popped off

This was the first campaign I played through when I was like TWELVE😂 the banzai charges had me pushing every button on my controller. So glad I grew up with this instead of whatever tf COD is now. I remember playing MW2 as my first real cod, and then picking this game up for cheap because we wanted more. Seeing the limbs gettin blown off in WAW vs the low-level gore from MW2 was INSANE. I didn’t know games could do that

The thing that makes WaW so unique and special is the fact that you can't just kill the enemies and move forward to the checkpoint, you had to reach the checkpoint to stop the spawns of enemies, it really helped add to the sense of never-ending hopelessness that those men must have felt

It’s not even that it’s “more realistic” it’s just got a good stylistic angle to it a good blend between style and realism. The style is grit, a grand conspiracy look at history, and rugged war. Horror is the theme. You can tell how this carries over to Black Ops where even the name is gritty. It’s about black operations it should be brutal and raw and dark maybe even angsty and conspiratorial

Jeg synes det kunne være meget interessant. De kunne også få den japanske synsvinkel ind over ved at gøre lidt som her, hvor man skifter mellem to perspektiver.

@@DjentyDjohn-tj2eh ja true! - der er mod tools til spillet, hvor man bla. kan lave sine egne campaign missoner. Jeg selv arbejder på at lave et fra tyskernes side :p - jeg har rodet rundt med modtools til spillet i godt og vel 10år - har du erfaring/ interesse for selv at rode med sådan noget?
