World At War's INSANE Veteran Achievements

[@nickm9123]

The hardest part of the game was the grenade happy AI. Shit was nuts

[@straightmaneatingpizza1665]

Interestingly, that part seems historically accurate for the German's side. I remember reading somewhere that the Germans had more explosives than they knew what to do with.

World at War was the last COD to feature checkpoint spawning, which would send waves of enemies at you until you hit certain checkpoints. It added to the difficulty & often left players without ammo & stuck in death/spawn loops. It truly was the pinnacle of hard in COD campaigns.

[@Realninja7214]

I’m pretty sure there’s some in black ops on the mission where you defend the American base in Vietnam

[@StealthyZombie]

@@Realninja7214 A few CODs that released after WAW do have it for a mission or two, even BO3 has it at one section(can be used to farm kills w/guns towards Personal Decorator achievement), but in the earlier games the feature was prevalent in the majority of missions & was the only way to progress. In COD’s after WAW, the feature was implemented but often times in a mission where the player has to complete another task to stop the spawning.

I just recently beat this game on veteran and I noticed that if I sat and kept killing them they would stop spawning sometimes

[@TheFlubber06]

I play the WaW campaign on Veteran pretty regularly. Best CoD. There are parts where it seems as if enemies spawn infinitely, but there's actually just a lot of them and you actually can kill them all and no more will spawn until you move up. For example, there is no infinite spawn on Burn 'Em Out, it's just that a lot of them respawn. In fact, if you're patient enough, you can kill all of the enemies near the first two guns on Heart of the Reich. It takes forever and you'll have to kill several hundred enemies, but it is possible to completely clear the area before moving up. It's even possible to totally clear every part on Ring of Steel, on Eviction, Downfall, Relentless, etcetera. There are two and only two parts of the entire campaign with infinite respawn: The right path on Blowtorch and Corkscrew before the overgrown tunnel and taking out the third gun on Heart of the Reich. You can actually hang back and totally clear the next area before taking out the last gun. I like to run through the missions in chronological order, rather than on the broken timeline that the missions are given in.

[@JForJackPlays]

damn, very interesting. didn't know that! thank you

[@williampitt1537]

Same thing here, I play it regularly. It's a challenging game on veteran but overtime you learn how to play and understand the pattern. Curiously, I have found that the Japs are to be fought from long distances while the German in close quarters. It's because they have different tactics and use different environments (in the jungle, you can be shot at from everywhere so you must thread slowly while in Europe, once you've broken the enemy's line of defense, you're fighting in conventional cities where it's pretty straightforward and the player has an advantage - IF you break the line of defense).

[@BrandonBRich]

You’re spot on with the “burn em out” mission that last area I had to have died like 50 times easily, but once I threw smoke and used the flamethrower it was cake. Underrated strategy and most guides don’t do that so I’m glad you did

[@JForJackPlays]

Yeah I've seen so many guides not mention it and instead spend like 1 hour straight dying in that room. Smoke grenades are king haha

[@Spiralredd]

I dropped it because I needed a second gun

[@icarusgaming6269]

Surviving a bonzai charge is actually really easy, to the point that the dominant strategy becomes to counter charge them and mash melee like a maniac. You have i-frames during the tackle, so it's a really good way to get your health back while waiting for the recharge, or in the case of Vampire, from the easy kills

This campaign was amazing. We've seen WW2 constantly in earlier COD games and many Medal of Honor games and yet this one stands out. Probably my favorite WW2 campaign with Medal of Honor Rising Sun being a close second

[@ujangprakoso2925]

Here's some tips to get through Call of Duty World At War in Veteran mode: 1. If you ever take cover, look at the sky. You'll see enemy grenades flying at you and their trajectory. With this, you can anticipate the grenade blast zone and fling them back to the enemy with better accuracy. 2. Always pay attention to your compass. Locate and pinpoint enemy positions safely from the cover before shooting them. 3. Never get far from your allies. Although sucks at shooting, your allies provide an infinite meatshield you can safely cower behind from enemy bullets. Furthermore, they know how to react against enemy grenades. 4. Stay away from the frontline. The enemy won't spam grenades at you if you're far enough to outrange them. 5. Ever tried firing from the hip in close-quarter battle?

Ever since I did my veteran run years ago I could never play this game on any other difficulty tbh. I feel it really goes from your normal shooter to a fully immersive battlefield. 2 best tips for it are 1.) take it slow, like inch by inch for your ground. You'd be moving slow as hell in an actual warzone, do it here 2.) Be very mindful of your loadout. Carry a semi auto or lmg for distance, and a subgun for cqc, abandon bolt actions asap. The flamethrower missions change with sometimes the flamer being good, but bad for when the enemies are at mid range, really gotta just be ready to drop it when you need to. Theres prob some other stuff im missing but those really helped me out. Only ever really had a struggle on that hunting the sniper segment and that one portion in burn em out with the hole in the ceiling. Funny enough I did what you did trial and erroring with smokes and the flamethrower till I got it, And I only threw my controller once :D

My dad and I started on this campaign and it lead to a deep love of cod from both of us. We never beat it.

[@JForJackPlays]

good times! You gotta finish it though;)

[@NOT_FLI]

Wish i could...

[@elhugo13]

Beat it on wii almost 15 years ago, and yeah hard as balls, actually surprised i stuck with it back then.

[@SnowFall705]

Dude you have some balls to do it on the wii. I'm glad someone is just as insane as me

[@elhugo13]

​@@SnowFall705yeah and lots of free time back then. In this point of my life i wouldn't even dare trying this on newer games.

[@TheTurtleMelon]

another amazing vid! look forward to the next one

[@JForJackPlays]

Glad you enjoy them! Thank you very much

[@Wolverine-ky9gk]

now this is a World War 2 Call of Duty everything about this game is was legendary loved the atmosphere the dark, mysterious, depressing music, campaign and zombies. World at War needs a remaster

[@TheChibiPlaya]

The flame thrower mission on okinawa is a nightmare I still have to this day…

[@JForJackPlays]

smoke grenades make it not so bad but you are right, my first time through was horrendous

[@bradlysnyder8226]

my grandpa is 71 and he beat veteran difficulty like it was nothing, i'm convinced he's a god

[@JForJackPlays]

what a hero!

[@parah_dime]

7:18 why does it look like resnov was comtemplating t posing as he falls into the river?

[@ImAustinTopham]

Love the videos man. I remember the only achievements on CoD 2 being you had to beat it on veteran and that shit was ass lmaooo

[@JForJackPlays]

Thank you very much! Yeah I did that one in 2020 But I think I'm going to do it again very soon and record it. Want to try cover all of the cod games! I got absolutely ruined by a checkpoint when I did it and had to restart a level, that's all I remember really haha

[@Frosta-]

I beat the game in Veteran difficulty on PS3, it bugged out a lot. One time I picked up a rifle while standing on it glued my feet to the ground. Another time a friendly soldier shot an enemy as it Banzai charged me and I got stuck laying down staring at the sky, had to restart some missions many times.

[@JForJackPlays]

those sound pretty funny tbf. maybe not for you though

[@cinemahorizon5109]

I was pooping while watching this. The amount of stress i had watching this made easy pooping. Good video

[@JForJackPlays]

glad i could help you out! thank you very much

[@billy50421]

when I beat burn em out I was celebrating with my older brother, It was the first mission on veteran on world at war he tried so he was proud when got passed that little shit that hides behind the box. He thought it was easy to beat before he tried it. Because I am pretty young he thought "there is no way he is this bad" but now he knows about the abusive amount of grenades. but it was still fun to beat. Also nice vid!

[@benjy442]

That grenade icon gave me 'Nam flashbacks, I'd forgotten how endless it was.

[@joshy9464]

Oh man the flashbacks from how the enemy can throw 30 frag grenades and each one with the penetrating power of a 155mm howitzer

[@tundrarunner4951]

The Type 99s gave me so much pain on Veteran as did the grenade spam.

[@SL4Y3Rv]

Nice Video. I have every single achievement in this game including all DLC achievements and Go Get Some Sun. All unlocked before 2010!

[@JForJackPlays]

thank you very much! that's pretty crazy, I only managed to get max prestige in COD4

[@RRSlugger]

Great video! You really captured the terror behind this difficulty setting in this game. I remember so vividly where I finally gave up as a teen playing this. The grenade spam was unreal. 😂😅😭

[@JForJackPlays]

Thank you very much sir

[@TheBourbonWrench]

I’ve never raged as hard trying to clear those trenches with a friggin flame flower on veteran. Rounded a trench corner to 100% machine gun nest accuracy.

[@AJP74LUD]

I have put myself through Veteran Difficulty through every cod ever. I love the pain

[@JForJackPlays]

whats your top 3 most difficult?

[@AJP74LUD]

@@JForJackPlays WaW, Infinite, and MW2 09

[@Razzberry02]

I remember I got the flu really bad back in 2013 ( I was in 9th grade) and I thought "might as well do something constructive, it can't be that hard!" It took me days to complete the campaign on veteran. I ended up finishing every mission but the airplane and tank one and it was extremely irritating but rewarding. Getting through one mission was like getting dental work done, hated being there and glad it was over.

[@goldenfiberwheat238]

Did your flu go away before you finished it?

[@jack1701e]

I love the idea of a bonzai attack, like a tiny cute tree charging you with a sword only woshing death upon you xD

[@JForJackPlays]

hahah, yeah.... I can only apologise for my horrific pronunciation
