Let’s be honest y’all NO call of duty will ever beat World at War. The pure carnage and disturbing music and the gore it has in it is insane to where it’s badass at the same time. I’m glad I grew up with this game and nothing will change that.
@DiamondWizard I would love an extended history than better graphics, with the same writers and sean murray of course, but yeah, its just a sweet dream.
The only thing I think this game lacks is the lenght of the campaing, i would love to know more about that history, how reznov dimitry and miller end like that, how that war started for them, or instead another whole big campaing in another front that nobody know (indochina for example).
4:54 this part right here, musically personifies desperation and chaos, the part in the street you can see here in the thumbnail is my favourite part of the entire mission. The Germans desperately fighting tooth and nail to the bitter end for their scrap of street, against the Red Army whose hearts are filled with rage and the lust for revenge, and tear it all down
That whole scene look like a renaissance paint (a creepy one) in motion, the whole chaos and the inherent madness of the combat +the color palette make this short urban combat very scary, thats what makes this cod very special, you dont want to see something like that in real life.
@@asjdtrip Im suprised not more people did. then again it seems like all people can think about anymore with this game is "zombies" sure the zombies mode is great but the campaign was astonishing
@@asjdtrip not only that but the iconic choir did kind of originate from the campaign in addition to the guitar rift. WaW campaign needs some more love. It's so overlooked in the community.
4:54 for me the pinnacle of the game and one of the best parts, both Germans defending to the last piece of Berlin's land against an unstoppable and fearsome force of soldiers with rage in their hearts
This would of been badass as some 500 foot tall german mega-nazi robot assfucks the entire soviet army with plasma rods and a big giant robo-dick that shoots tank rockets
@@trager8933 sad, because they could have survived, they could have ran when they had the chance. Berlin was done for. A decaying mass of bombed out buildings, surrounded by Soviet grunts, of whom some lucky few who survived Barbarossa were here to return the favor in kind. For all the dead of Stalingrad, of Leningrad, the starved civilians, the ethnic cleansing. But no, they fought on, for a genocidal basket case who was probably, at that very moment of their perdition and ultimate sacrifice in his name, toying with the trigger of a pistol he had pointed into his skull. The human cost of this madness is the true sadness. Not the defenders who went fighting to the last man, not to the Soviets whose lands were raped and scorched under the scythe of the swastika, but for all mankind. That being said I always threw a Molotov at the surrendering Germans at the U-Bahn entrance lmao
The Pacific theatre was indeed horrific. But the Eastern front was something else entirely, absolutely, eerily hellish, brutal. A black hole devoid of god, all you hear is the devils laugh and the relentless pounding of the machine.
pacific front its brutal mostly bc climatic area and the difficulty to pass through, in other case raster front its a pure Man Made hell on earth, this game captures as possible the cruelty but even with that we cant dimension the brutality It was
@@alex-qt8njyeah but the standout to me is the fact that the allies had to constantly land at the shores of several islands. Amphibious assault is the hardest thing you can possibly do military, now combine that with fighting one of the most dishonourable armies in human history It also helped me realise just how many islands are around Japan lmao
After Soviets murdered Surrendered German, Chernov: This is not war. This is murder! Reznov : This is how you end a war Chernov. Chernov : This is madness! Our rockets are tearing cities apart!
0:00 - 0:07 I can't stop replaying it over and over again, it gives a strange, creepy feeling of loneliness, desperation, and a depiction of a dying regime that had lost all hope.
"War makes men mad" This song perfectly shows that along with the whole mission "Eviction". I mean their people have been murdered and raped, cities razed, villages burn down,... that is why they were out for blood after the turn around at Stalingrad.
and then they did the exact same thing to eastern europe, women, children, surrendered soldiers, non german partisans everything was free for hunting sport
the soviets were absolutely fucking brutal and evil on their push into germany including ethnic cleansings no good guys just pain and suffering to all the innocent people caught in the middle
@@flyingbeast7902rapists and robbers in the Red army were hated as much as the Nazis. For intentionally harming civilians in the red army, they could be shot on the spot, because such actions defamed the Red army. They came to rid the world of Nazism. They should be higher. Their revenge was directed at the military, SS, officers and collaborators. Those who committed atrocities in their homeland. Because of whom 27 million people died in the USSR alone!
0:01. Reznov asking Petrenko if he's ready. 0:10. Entering the building while being bombarded by Soviet Katyusha rockets. 3:38. Petrenko's choice. (Dimitri, it is your choice). 4:54-5:10. Street fighting in Berlin during rainy weather. 8:06. Escaping to the metro from the Katyusha rocket barrage as a last resort. 9:03. Battle in the Berlin U-Bahn metro. 9:50. Berlin U-Bahn metro being submerged and both sides are drenched with freshwater.
It's just breathtaking how the synths mix so well to the sound of bombers passing by, just like in the fountain scene in "Vendetta". And what is even more outstanding about it is the buzzing sound that imitates/mix to the bombers motors, exactly just like as if they were getting farther and farther apart. This soundtrack, and this game in general, are extremely overlooked, just because of the "Arcade First Person Shooter" title that Call Of Duty always had. This is the only game, that shows without any fear or remorse how an atmosphere in war just looks, and feels like, gray, eerie and even like the end of the world, just like the streets fights in Eviction showns apocalyptic, buildings on fire, lead grey rainy skys, full of smokes from explosions and anti-aircraft rounds, the whole city being bombarded and the cherry on the top of the cake, the classical music before entering the fight in the streets, with a soundtrack that really sounds like madness and hatred, just like war.
The ambiance WAW brought desperately needs to come back to Modern COD. These tracks have tones on par with the classic Fallout games and it frustrates me greatly that we don't have more of this
If you like that kind of "ambience" you could search "belic horror", dont confused it with "war drama" that can be showed in valiant hearts, the shlinder list, Ana frank, etc. The belic horror is a very specific multimedia genre and its very hidden bc the lack of interest, but here is some examples: In movies you have "come and see" or apocalypse now(one of the most known) In video games you have "spec ops the line", "this is war of mine", 1979 revolution.
And tbh every thing in this sound track sounds like MG fire tanks fire the canon artillery gun AT guns and some artillery shells landing and exploding oh and the sound of plans over head
"Die Russen Rücken immer weiter vor!" "Wir sind fast vollständig umzingelt!" "Unsere Lage ist aussichtslos." "Ist es das, was ich dem General erklären soll?" "Das sollte dem General eigentlich selbst klar sein." "Es sei denn, er ist genauso arrogant wie der Führer." "Sie werden die Tunnel überschwemmen. Sie fürchten, die Russen könnten auf diesem Weg versuchen den Königsplatz zu erreichen." "Gott steh uns bei." - German Officer's and Soldier's
The only COD game to mix badassery with horror. Staying true to its theme of how things were really like instead of a child’s version of the war in COD WW2. Compared to WAW, WW2 is rated E for everyone. Will go down in history as one of the best COD games ever.
Every second of this song sends chills down my spine, no matter how many times I listen. PS: Still does, I think WaW soundtrack perfectly conveys the emotion of words "war is hell", to the point that it has a very strong effect that's reminiscent of horror, no matter how many times you listen.
the last game that a had a pare of balls to show how ww2 really was and actually fucking show a swastika without fear or hesitation because its a part of history an its the damn symbol of the nazi's not the shitty iron cross
Fun fact: you can here part of this song in nazi zombies (no im not talking about the obvious choir), in the background, there is just very quiet constant guitar strumming
4:55-5:10 Edit: what I meant is that it loops from 4:55 to 5:10 over and over again, it doesn’t get beyond 5:10 though, like it cuts there and then goes back to 4:55
No other campaign will portrait the cruelty and carnage of war like this cod did, it doesn't even have amazing graphics but it still feels real compared to Cod WW2 and Vanguard
Wow this music's so good and perfectly fits what's on that picture the desperate germans in a last stand fighting endless waves of the advancing pissed off soviet red army but they're not fighting for the country it's for survival
I love how this soundtrack feels so empowering towards carnage, people in war just go wild, and specially the russians that went into Berlin satiating their blood lust wherever they went. Primal insticts at its finest
nothing primal about a man taking revenge. no animal on earth takes revenge as far as humans. When you see what hungarians and germans did to your countrymen during the occupation your sole purpose in life is to avenge, make them feel the same you do. and so russians shown how it feels not to conquer, but to fight desperatly for bits of your land.
War will tear a man apart limb from limb. It’s the act of carnage that will make a man lose his insanity to where they will have PTSD or make them go on a massacre of killing another human being. It’s enough to make a river of blood some that even isn’t their own.
God this mission was so intense. Berlin being absolutely torn to shreds. Die-hard German soldiers trying to hold-on, fighting to the fucking death, the thought of surrender out of the question, They knew this was their end. They knew this was their last stand. Which just caused them to fight against the unstoppable force even more. The Russians, with nothing but rage and the thought of revenge in their hearts, storming through the city and being totally insurmontable. The thought of glory for the motherland, and the vengenance of any personal losses they suffered, causing them to brutally and mercilessly mow their way through the city, with the end of the evil fascist Reich in sight.
Don't forget- the Germans you're fighting are the sick, the young (13-17 years old), and the elderly. The game just doesn't show that because it would be too horrifying and real to appeal to a larger audience.
@@Nova-vk5qb not all of them. there were still proper german troops left of course, the navy soldiers and paratroopers, as well as hitler's honor guard. so it would still make sense in the game not to show it.
@@Nova-vk5qb The game does actually depict different soldier models in the reichstag mission, most of the german soldier models are either injured, elderly, or young.
@@flyingbeast7902that’s why alien haven’t visited cause we kill ourselves with wars but if they came down and invaded all of our rage and hatred for each other would be turned towards them if they didn’t have one and down weapon.
Imagine cod zombies goes back to a more scary enviornment, and when the round starts you just here the beginning of this, without any extra beats as it is normally. Just a pure, terrifying choir......
@@viktorjonsson26 truly a disappointment. They all gone soft. This new generation has become so sensitive that by the time, where were are all once again in dark times they would the first to see that the world isn't full of PC or give a Heck of their feelings.
Imagine with the Perseus ending a zombies map that’s just a nuked city with the only sound other than distant wails of undead just fire, wind raining down radioactive snow and the choir
Me too bro I fucking love this game I remember playing this at night and pissing myself cause of the horror of men getting shot ALL around you this game was ALL OUT WAR
World at War is WAY better than WW2 BECAUSE of it's no-holds barred approach to the brutality of the Second World War while WW2 was just a stereotypical war story :T
I love how CoD Blackops kinda complimented Reznov's story. The guy loved russia and soviet union in WW2 but then cold war came and he saw the true face of the soviets
@@christianbethelNot really, Black Ops 1 had very little to work off of, and took a historical fiction game and made an entirely fictional story from it with ONE character. That's insane levels of story writing.
I love the low hums that fade, as if they're bombers being shot down by flak, and their engines' sounds fade one plane at a time. (Edit) Also, this mission is amazing! It's one of the most atmospheric things I have ever played!
Zombies is my favorite thing about Call Of Duty. I’m so happy that 2 things came out of this song for Zombies. First is obvious. Second is I’m pretty sure they sampled bits of this song for Dead Ops Arcade’s soundtrack
God damn, just playing through World at War again and forgot how bitchin the soundtrack is. When 4:50 kicks in and you're committing war crimes mowing down hordes of surrendering Nazis, now that's the fuckin good stuff man. WaW was so dark, gritty, gory, and absolutely unapologetic for any of it. They don't make em like they used to.
THE CHILLS MAN WTF. Just hearing this voice at the beginning gave me PTSD of my zombie games and WaW missions in just 2 sec. Incredible soundtrack and incredible game
I'll never forget the first time playing this game on veteran mode and getting grenades thrown at me literally every second, in fact this soundtrack is just horrific and gritty I love it because it shows how blood thirsty the red army was at the time, you'll often see your comrades get shot at point blank, sniped, burned and blown up but then you realized that no matter how many times they die they'll always come back and try their absolute hardest to kill the enemies with or without weapons
I first played the WAW story and hearing the different rifts and cobbled together parts that made up the zombies round start made me scream the first time I heard it
I doubt that there is any other part than can surpass this one in terms of atmosphere.What about composition ? There are only a few composers like these who can express so many emotions in one composition. You just need to have great luck to find such a person, and the fight in Berlin looks so epic thanks to the composer!!!
"Toten sie mir nicht!" "He wants mercy! They do not deserve mercy!" "Wait wait he may help us" "Help us?! He can *Shoots surrendeing German* die for us! Mudak!!" "This is not war! This is murder!" "This is how you end a war Chernov!"
The utter bloodshed and flesh being minced indiscriminately without mercy. The desperation of the scattered, disorganized and few remaining German soldiers as they fiercely hold on to their last against the sleeping beast they'd just awoken. The Russian's insurmountable brutality being fueled only by vengeance and blood to lube their ever driving cogs and gears. The grinding of the machine. In the end can only be depicted through a complex array of sounds, eerie dead angels and groaning guitar riffs.
@@BreadPittAAAAHHHH I agree. The Nazi regime carried out *the* most atrocious, evil act in human history only a little over a hundred years ago, but most germans were in the dark about that. The average grunt and civilian fighting for their life on the streets of Berlin would just think they’re fighting for their fatherland. I just can’t blame these old men, wounded, and children that were forced to fight in their home, which is being torn apart by rockets. This was a very personal chapter in the Russian’s role in the war, and while their mission was a necessary evil, it doesn’t make any war right, it doesn’t make the shooting of prisoners, bombing of civilians and what not right. You may have a romantic view of this war, but I don’t. It might have been one of the only necessary Wars, a true fight against evil, but that doesn’t make it any less cruel or shameful than any other war. I’m just saying, I feel bad, I felt wrong looking out at Berlin and seeing it be torn apart, even Chernov himself remarked this was murder. If you can’t see that, then I’m just going to agree to disagree.
@@E55666I know what the allies did like hiroshima and the gulags but none of them will top the bloody genocides committed by the nazis at least most people sent to gulags were actual nazis
@@BreadPittAAAAHHHH lets not forget that the Japanese did just as worse if not worse as the nazi's with unit 731 being the most recent one that's been unveiled. Those two nukes wasn't going to stop japan from fighting, they were ready to keep going till the end, until the soviets started putting pressure.
This is the most badass soundtrack to any video game battle! And the fact it's used in Zombies makes it even better! Dark, creepy, intense, violent, nostalgic, it perfectly captures the insanity of WW2
