in my opinion, the best aspect of COD WAW is that you're not a military badass, you're just somebody who answer the call of duty to serve in military on an ongoing war, and you're not become a strong military badass, you simply become battle harden through the fight, that's the core that makes the character in WAW is different compare to newer title, like modern warfare 3

[@Milty2001]

That's the thing I like about Miller and Dimitri both got captured yet they still go out and fight hell they've even had instances where they almost die due to an enemy trying to kill them yet they somehow survive

[@gamerraider889]

@@Milty2001 Even better, they survive through realistic means relying on both the actions of others and you, the player's, skill and cunning. The game is difficult. Insanely difficult. I remember playing and beating veterans difficulty and it was simultaneously the most exhausting and proud thing I've done in my gaming "career." Mainly because of the fact that you had to persevere through the hellish nadespam and enemy wave tactics until you get a perfect run and reach a checkpoint or two. That difficulty probably helps the most, it works to humanize the actions of your otherwise unknown comrades like Chernov or Roebuck. Especially when they seem to actually have decent (at least for the time period) AI that helps you somewhat through tougher spots. That also works to humanize Dimitri and Miller. Instead of trying to throw some crappy exposition, they're getting thrown around in a warzone and have little quips and snarky remarks that add a bit to their characters without forcing you through a modern day Hamlet when all you wanna do is shoot some damn Nazis.

Naustix Not all germans were Nazis they were just german soldiers. 🤦‍♂️

[@Nutty31313]

I always found another part of WaW that gave a lot of depth and made you think about the horrible actions of warfare is in Chernov's perception of you shown at the beginning of the last mission as his diary is read. There are three different lines that can play, they all start out with: "April 30, 1945: When he first spoke of Dimitri, Reznov told tales of a hero, someone we should all aspire to be like." But depending on how merciless you have been during the campaign it will give a different ending: "His bravery on the battlefield is beyond question, but he has also shown mercy amidst the brutality of the Red Army. He is indeed a hero." "At times, I have seen him show mercy, and at others, complete brutality. I do not understand him. Perhaps heroes need not question their actions." "His merciless brutality defines him only as a savage, just like the rest of the Red Army. He is no hero." If you've been doing as Reznov says and killed surrendered and wounded Germans then it makes you regret how you've acted, which is quite a powerful thing for a game to do.

[@tjjordan4207]

The beginning part of a mission where Dimitri is rescued has a bit of a mixed message. Resnov tells Chernov to shoot the wounded men who are dying, yet Chernov says that they're already bleeding to death. So, Resnov tells us (the player) to make them bleed faster. Wouldn't killing them be more of a mercy killing? I mean, they're dying from bleeding, and it must be painful. I've always felt that leaving them to die from the bleeding is a bit of a worse fate. But then again, maybe it's just the moral code not to kill an unarmed man.

[@christophergepullano9029]

"His merciless brutality defines him only as a savage, just like the test of the Red Army. He is no hero." If I was there at that time, and Chernov said this directly to my face, I'll refute his claim and ask him this: "Did the Nazis show mercy, even to the helpless ones like the elderly, the women, and, most importantly, the innocent children, when they invaded the Motherland and massacred our brethren? They grazed the Motherland just so that they could recover from their humiliation, and you're telling me that I am a savage? I'm just being fair; they ravaged the defenseless in our soil, we'll do the same to them".

It shows Resnov's true care for his soldiers. I replayed the game recently and noticed that Reznov would shout "We need a medic" every time one of your comrades were shot and killed, it's especially noticeable on higher difficulties due to your reliance on friendly units. He may have some merciless moments, but he seems to truly be a good man at heart, however, men can be pushed to unspeakable acts. l feel his patronizing of Dimitri to Chernov was actually him trying to get Chernov to fight for more than survival, he wanted him to go further like Dimitri and actually decimate German forces when possible. He tells Chernov "no one will ever read this" to get him to focus on the fight in the twilight of the Third Reich. Black Ops Reznov seems off now with how he stated that Russians know the price of sacrifice. It was a badass moment, undoubtedly, but with Reznov's steady repeated shouting for medics and such for fallen soldiers it makes it odd. Though, he was also in Vorkuta for a while by then so he was probably hella desensitized, so it doesn't really matter in the end. Anyways, my two cents on one of gaming's most inspiring characters of the era.

My favorite part of COD was the feeling that you were just a regular member of that military. Whether I was American, British, or Russian I loved the experience of being just a regular participant in the war. I don't want to be a Spec Ops guy that can take out an entire battalion by himself I want to be I the shoes of the average Joe and live his experiences and see what he sees. Sure you have to take some liberties because it's not going to be as entertaining if you were to play out the entirety of the nearly 3 month long Battle of Okinawa while suffering from Malaria and urinating on your machine gun to keep it from overheating before watching civilians throw themselves off cliffs to avoid the shame of surrender or the fear of the atrocities the Japanese said the Americans would do to them if they were captured alive but the original COD games showed me how extraordinary it was that so many nations came together to fight another group of countries. Remember, War is Hell and it is not your duty to die for your country, it is you duty to make sure the other man dies for his.

I like how Chernov's diary in the last mission actually changes depending on if you spare the surrendering germans or not and his view on you changes, it kind of accurately portrays how "heroes" are viewed one of them especially hits hard, if you only kill one German but leave the other two to burn he says "April 30, 1945: When he first spoke of Dimitri, Reznov told tales of a hero, someone we should all aspire to be like. At times, I have seen him show mercy, and at others, complete brutality. I do not understand him. Perhaps heroes need not question their actions.

And nowadays, they don’t even dare to put the Swastika in a game so they don’t hurt the feelings of people that don’t even play the game. I feel like it’s an interesting thing to think about.

I don't get offended at stuff because there's too many things that matter in life, but Vanguard...you might say that it offended me with it's "reimagining" of WW2. I'm all for historical fiction.

I still play CoDWaW with friends to this day on PC. It's easily the best version of CoD, amazing story, great multiplayer, and 100s of custom zombie maps better than official maps that use Black Ops1,2, and even Ghost guns and textures. Even better, all the DLC was released for free.

This quote demonstrates the contrived attitude of children today. My generation is so concerned with being fed more and more, instantly, that they find no gratification in newness or interesting things. Only those things that immediately make you feel a tiny spark of greatness, then afterwards have zero substance. That is a perfect way to describe the zombies of old. They were good for their day. Just as Doom was for his day. And there's nothing wrong with appreciating them. But I for one, know that the nostalgia voices are speaking when folks say: "New zombies are waste." If every single map was a "Kino Der Toten" reskinned to be something different, the mode would've died long ago. Beg for mediocrity all you like, but complexity isn't a bad thing, if it is offered and not expected. There is no BO4 map or BO3 map, you can't just jump on, and shoot things like a mindless retard. I know, I did. But having that layer of depth, kept me playing. BO1? WaW? No, I played them a handful of times and begged the question: "Isn't insanity defined by doing the same thing more than once and expecting something different to happen?" And I quit. No one would prefer less customization, less camos, less guns, less maps, less thought put into multiplayer... But folks complain about zombies getting more. Foolish.

[@tonyriotIPW]

I get your point, that in the new games they look like actors and not actual people. but ya also gotta remember that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers that were teenagers. So when they showed up, of course they looked all "pretty". Cuz a month before they were enlisted, most of them were taking tests in school. I mean the average age of a US soldier on D-Day was 20 years old. like i said to start off, i get your point where now they Hollywood it up. But just remember, there were a lot of actual teenagers that fought that war.

I remember this nazi that was behind cover in the darkness that i could only see when he shoot, i had a shotgun and i was out of range, but then i hear an explosion, and when the lights came back on that metro, i could not find his body, but on the center of on of the lights, it illuminated a hand and some blood, never knew if the hand was with the body or if it blew up, it was way too dark to see outside the light from the lanterns. i shit myself

Mr Pheonix wtf is wrong with zip lines lmao? Its only in one fucking map.

Saying every cod should be EXACTLY like waw and bo1 is idiotic(i agree with you that those games do be fire) There needs to be innovation m8

[@Bombchubowling]

Mr Pheonix ziplines were in waw zombies. I agree modern cods are putrid acid trash but you have many things to rip on than weapon customization. For myself, it’s the micros-transactions. MW 2019 is loaded with it. Also, the weapon unbalance. It’s all just sheep running around with mp5s and m4s. Imagine following the biggest trend in the most popular video game. I can’t imagine being such a loser. Last time at a party I talked to a kid about cod. I said “let me guess you use the m4?” And he’s like “of course dude” and my friend and I shit on his life. Using the m4 is equivalent to being a basic white chick that “loves Coffee, beach walks, and adventures” they have zero value to their lives. Nothing unique about them. Just a ant in a colony. Purely meaningless

[@Bombchubowling]

yeetonmyfeet this sounds stupid but people don’t like innovation. People want the same game but better. THATS why cod is so successful. It’s consistent. (Not talking about the par core cods) another great comparison is halo. Halo was amazing until they changed everything about it that made it halo. Every new game was an improved multiplayer and awesome new campaign without adding trash. Ziplines are fine big deal. But imo waw is easily the best cod that nailed everything a cod game should be about. A dark brutal combat game.
