We’ll probably never see a main menu that’s this immersive and incredibly creative in any Call of Duty, maybe even any game in general, ever again. I’m so glad I was able to experience this in my life with friends, it was truly a special memory to have.
@Noah Arvino Exactly. It instantly captured your attention and drew you in with its intrigue. I got so freaked out when I switched to zombies and saw the zombie start banging on the glass. Not to mention how much I freaked out when I learned you could escape the chair. So damn cool.
Too right mate. When I played this game when it came out, I thought it'd be a Vietnam War game that was clear cut and had that "hoorah!" kind of spirit. I was just messing with my settings before I even started the game and Hudson talking in the background creeped me out as a middle schooler. Really set the tone and made for a killer story
World at War, Black ops and Modern Warfare have the best story imo. Such good games, sadly my copies of the games are dead. I'm honestly thinking of buying them over on steam now that I have a good PC
i think hudson's death is the saddest, not because of the death itself, but because woods thinks hudson deliberately betrayed them, and he "vanished" for the rest of black ops story like that
@@loner96 yo i kinda hated woods in time and fate mission cuz he was the one who killed josefina but mason tryed to stop him but there was no use hudson was trying to stop menedez from going in her room cuz it was very dangerous
This is by far the *BEST* Video Game menu of all time. The amount of creativity put Into the simple feature of selecting your game mode, and going so far as to let you WALK AROUND, is amazing.
When I played this as a kid when it first came out, it definitely gave me a feeling of anxiety, similar to the WaW menu but more interactive and incorpative of the story - honestly one of the best menus of all time
Black Ops 1 has always been my favorite menu for a Call of Duty game. Just so much you can do in just one menu, and the fact you can get out of the chair was jaw dropping to little me back then
hearing this ambience while watching these clips on the TV Screens gave me goosebumps. That makes me realize how close we were to total nuclear war... still gives me goosebumps
“You killed him, Mason, you did. No one else, just you…” I still remember that line to this day. I heard it all the time. After I finished the campaign I realized who it was talking about. It gave so much more weight to that line and this whole menu. Just absolutely crazy good game. One of a kind.
@@cheezed6897 I don’t know the answer, or if they were even telling Mason the truth, but that’s who they were talking about. And it’s something you won’t know till after the game is over.
@@clarkesteinman5098 Is not about JFK, is about Steiner. When he talks about just Mason killed him, it means it wasn't Reznov and he wasn't Reznov, it was all on him. In campaign in the Rebirth island Mason always thought he was with Reznov when he actually wasn't and he completed his plans because Reznov knew he would never escape out of Vorkuta.
one thing interesting that happens on the pc version is if you minimize the game, the music will continue to play but none of Hudson's voice lines or the sounds the computers make wont play which sounds pretty cool
The reason why Black Ops 1 was one of the best stories in a whole video game industry is because it straight up captures the events of real world adding some "covert up operations" that straight up could have happened. 1. VIETNAM - Soldiers' animosity towards CIA agents (Hudson...) was a real thing. The brutality and gore made sense, because it was a very brutal war (guerilla war was brutal) 2. Kravchenko killing his own men - true ww2 fact. Stalin ordered death of a lot Russian Soldiers who made it to Berlin, because they saw the standard of living in Germany 3. Sleeper agents - most of the CIA documents of MKUltra has been burnt. Which means - all this could have happened. 4. Fiedel Castro has survived over 600 attacks on his life. Getting out of the one in game alive is just one of the ways it happened. 5. Vorkuta - such brutal places where war prisoners were forced to work really existed 6. Cold-War - yeah... Russians were supporting North Vietnam. Russian and American soldiers were killing each other on the lands that did not belong to them. 7. John Fitzgerald Kennedy - and the ttheory of the second shooter - you know exactly what was seen on the last clip after finishing the game. 8. Covert up Operations in Russia - not sure, but totally could have happened (Cold War) And of course... the way the game led the story. At the beginning we have no idea, but instead of weakly exposing the story meaning it wanted players to think. To have these moments when from "The hell am I doing in Cuba?" to "I begin to understand why Woods doesn't say anything about Reznov". The game shows different perspectives and show how one singl event can lead to completely difficult to understand scenario, which can lead to fatal endgame. It doesn't explain the story. It shows the events. And it wants you to gather all the pieces together. Goddamn masterpiece. As I write it I believe even more that this right there is the best story ANY media has ever portrayed.
I was like 10 years old, I was with my brother, a cousin borrow us the brand new COD black ops, once we put it in our 360, we saw this menu and we were like: this can't be real, i'm moving my face while using a menu, the tv's shows real footage, I'm tied to a chair, what is going on?. A great experience.
i was looking for this in a while I got distracted very easily and let this video at the corner of my screen somehow make me concentrating more My only problem is you didn't upload in 4k, to bypass yt compression and made me feel more immersed Anyway, i watch this video everyday, so thanks
I was AWED when I launched the game first time and was able to look around in the goddamn menu and then finally found out you can actually exit the chair
The fact that i put this one and went to sleep with it on. Something about that harrowing tone with the computers and the iv machines along with Hudson occasionally talking. Ive always thought this main menu was so calming.
I always liked to see real footage playing in the background on cod games . Waw and bo1. I think cod 4 would had a great one during the Iraq war just how its campaign was based on but they didn’t
@@Yahya-it5dy It's revealed when you get through the mission when Mason tries to escape the interrogation and pieces everything together. If I'm not mistaken.
Adrenaline and other psychological factors like fight or flight are not engaged when war is decided but it's still war and having coffee isn't fighting but it's still war or I'm taking all the coffee - Willy 0
Poor kids nowadays will never understand what a true quality game that was made with patience and love is. Now, just publishers forcing devs to create new games in increments of 1 year to satisfy shareholders instead of the consumer. And it will never slow down or go back to what it was because the gaming market makes tons of money and people are ok with accepting this low quality bs. This goes for other games/genres other than COD
As a legit human alien what are you to me if that's where war comes from separation anxiety in humans if you can't let one simple zero abuse have a wife you need to do all that - willy 0
