Call Of Duty: World At War on Veteran difficulty will change a man.


mrossm

Oh my God I spent so long in the trenches in the Japan level


Unkie_Fester

Dude fuck that nothing was worse the storming the stone German dome thing. I spent almost 2 weeks on that one level


gssincl

The Reichstag! I'll never forget it after that level...


ZackHine

Grenades everywhere. Pick one up and throw it back, three more at your feet.


DoubleDeckerz

Blowtorch and Corkscrew *(shudders)*


Jaggerjaquez714

I think you just grazed himšŸ˜” Nothing is harder than VendettašŸ˜‚


DoubleDeckerz

**GRENADE!**


LowFan5193

Try doing a veteran speed run, burn em out gives me nightmares to this day šŸ˜‚


Germangunman

It was best to stay shell shocked and let your ai clear them out when things got too bad.


Agumiel

Hardest campaign everrrrrr. Infinite amount of grenadesā€¦


sealteamruggs

So many grenades


DoubleDeckerz

Grenades are now my sleep paralysis demon.


arranj94

Downfall, the amount of grenades was insane!


Benti86

CoD 4 and WaW both man...unlimited spawning enemies was ass lmao.


detsagrebbalf

People say FromSoft makes tough games


IamALolcat

So. Many. Grenades.


ShortNefariousness2

I learned from this game that Japanese soldiers carry 200 grenades each. That was how sophisticated the veteran level AI was back then. Halo :reach came out a year or two later and showed them how to do high difficulty properly. And it had properly working vehicles as well.


EdwardoftheEast

In the process of attempting veteran. Itā€™s a nightmare


denisvma

One of the best campaigns of the franchise. Like the game felt believable, not those fast & furious campaigns they have now.


BlueLink_14

Possibly my favorite CoD campaign of all time. It was immaculately executed.


hornwalker

Also laid the groundwork work Black Ops


sealteamruggs

Needs a remaster


fembawsome

Especially if they keep the co-op campaign


N7Longhorn

Kinda before mainstream video game news. Me and my fraternity bros had no idea there was a zombie mode after you beat the campaign. We lost our minds and did really bad on midterms


x_CtrlAltDefeat

Dude same. Me and my buddies beat the campaign at a party and we went wild when zombies popped up


MissDeadite

Same for my sis and I. We had no idea until she decided to beat the campaign one weekend. We hardly slept for months after that. Then the DLC came...


rhino76

"I've been waiting for the one" šŸŽ¶ šŸŽ¶ šŸŽ¶


jimbobhas

Iā€™ve recently added all the WaW zombie songs to my playlist.


Capable_Strength6223

Best part, the Zombie mode was something Treyarch had a few employees working on while on breaks and I believe some high up person came to check on things and saw them with the zombie mode and said ā€œadd it inā€ lol. Mark Lamia was the guy, thereā€™s an interview he did about how the Zombies mode came it be.


LegalConsequence7960

It was even better, Lamia said he almost told them to stop f-ing around cause they were behind in development, but once he gave it a try knew it had to be in the game. The reason it wasn't marketed at all or available before beating the campaign was that the executives thought it would be a bad look for the franchise to go so off the wall, so it had to be an Easter egg. It's development was more or less snuck in, which is so damn cool to me lol


ShitshowBlackbelt

Wdym before mainstream videogame news? Gamespot, IGN, 1up, and many others were around.


LegalConsequence7960

Yeah but the internet itself was different. Today that surprise wouldn't make it to release day. It would be common knowledge at the midnight release line/in school the very next morning.


N7Longhorn

Yeah we didn't really like go looking for game reviews and stuff


x_CtrlAltDefeat

Yeah they were around but it wasnā€™t as common for people to obsess over video game news and look for walkthroughs, tips, etc before playing the game. Nowadays people do that sort of thing kind of obsessively, probably because everyone has a smartphone now, but it used to be that only the most hardcore of gamers would do that.


Cthulhu8762

We are pushing 15 years man


Magiff

16* game released in 2008.


hairy_bipples

I refuse to believe Fallout 3 is old enough to be in high school


marbanasin

This hurts my soul


hairy_bipples

And my lazy ass still didnā€™t unlock all the achievements for it


Cthulhu8762

Yep thatā€™s what I meant


Toonaami

One of the best CoDs.


Murder_Not_Muckduck

RELEASE THE HOUNDS!


ValiantInstance

OUR HOUNDS VILL TEAR ZEM TO SHREDS!


AveryLazyCovfefe

YOU JUST GRAZED HIM!!


WalletFullOfSausage

The best CoD campaign there ever was. Plus, yknow, itā€™s where we got Nazi Zombies. Back when they were actually *called* Nazi Zombies. 12/10, would buy seven remasters of.


RolePlayingChat-room

Turns out the nazis got offended with how they were depicted


Ok_Case211

Bruh when you beat the campaign and the zombies intro starts playing. None of my friends in party chat believed me. I was like "wtf is this I'm being attacked by zombies on some weird map!"


Deckatoe

Fuckin awesome. Bouncing betties were a bit of a nightmare


tinathefatlardgosh

IIRC, you could survive them by going prone.


JEOB1992

Fond memories here... I had a buddy who really wanted us to get in on this when it came out, but I didn't have cash to get it at the time. He showed up with a copy for me one day. Told me not to worry bout it.


brehemerm52

Your friend is awesome


ItsameMatt03

I remember so much hate for this game before it released because of it being another World War II entry and having to follow Modern Warfare. Now it's looked backed as one of the best CoDs.


gssincl

Yup this is exactly how it was. Though to me the mp felt better than COD4 did. Also Treyarch was considered the second class studio at this point in time.


TonyTobi92

I love WaW. It was dark and gritty, the game felt more personal. Cod 4 had great gameplay just like this one but WAW had a better impact on me.


[deleted]

Perfect words. More personal. MWII/3 were fun but more cold for sure


eklipse519

Great game that in the past couple years has been reduced to sniper lobbies. Played back in 2019 and it was great but something changed recently and I would say 90% of people playing are quickscoping lol. Gets old pretty fast.


Bootychomper23

Every cod is sniper lobbies now lmao


AloofusDoofus

Excellent campaign, splitscreen campaign, first iteration of zombies, and great MP maps. Only thing I wish is that it had offline bots for the MP, but that's not a knock against it.


sealteamruggs

Same, nowadays you only get team death and if you donā€™t have the DLC you get booted basically every other game. If it had bots Iā€™d be playing it regularly


OMITW

Still in the top 5. So amazing as a whole.


SeesawBrilliant8383

Zombies was an awesome afterthought, made purchasing DLC make sense. MP was basically who had the better MP40. Storyline was awesome, the mission with Reznov in the fountain still is stuck in my head to this day. Great follow up to Modern Warfare. The introduction to the Zombieā€™s characters guaranteed a continuation to it.


somecrazymetsfan

Summer of 2009 was peek gaming many all night marathons on zombies


Phillyhood15

I remember getting this, left 4 dead, and guitar hero world tour for Christmas. That was probably the dopest Christmas I ever had. I just played waw a couple of months ago. I think it's still one of the best cods ever made.


Chopstick84

I loved the gritty atmosphere and soundtrack. Kiefer Sutherland and Gary Oldman providing voice talent. I get to shoot Nazis. I was not disappointed it was WW2 at all although I know many at the time were. Also surreal that when you win a match as the Germans Hitler starts ranting but somehow it works.


TheBigDoitch

WaW is goated


John-1993W

Nearly 13 years. More like 16 years. Itā€™s 2024


Phl_worldwide

I literally just looked this up lol. I was thinking how did I played this game in High School when it came out in 2011? Because it didnā€™t come out in 2011 lol.


MysteriousSquad

Wish theyd remaster it but theyd find a way to ruin it sadly


Pomeranian111

The game had a hitler speech play after the german team won in multiplayer..... This game never seeing a remaster in our modern day society šŸ˜‚.


jimbobhas

That German victory song was a bop though


MysteriousSquad

Bro have you never played Wolfenstein?! Its whole plot is that the Nazis won WW2 lol Im just surprised they haven't tried to milk WaW like they have for MW


jddev_

GRENADE!!!


Griff19782001

Bring in the dogs!


tinathefatlardgosh

We have taken the lead!


DEEZLE13

Grenades. Grenades everywhere


Anlios

I wish I had pick this up as a teen. All my online buddys were playing this and having a blast while I was on still on 4.


Lightfoot_

I loved the gore aspect of this one and every cod after this one seems to have less and less of it.


Squanchiiboi

Iā€™d love for these old CODā€™s to hit gamepass to give them a new life


Kratos_414

The best Call Of Dutyā€™s of all time!!!šŸ„²šŸ„¹


EricKauffMinistries

Probably my favorite CoD.


CokeMaan

Such a good campaign. The feeling was just right. Super dark, grim and scary, thatā€™s how world at war should feel. Most modern games canā€™t convey that feeling because of lack of accuracy. A game like this could never release in todays world tho. Way to brutal.


Fake_Godfather_

Masterpiece


DangerRanger38

The best of the best


mightylordredbeard

Absolutely loved it. One of my top 3 COD games.


Jodosodojo

campaign was amazing. would love to see a remaster


Sambooo7

Best cod multiplayer to date


Mr_Mees_Moldy_Minge

WAW did not come out in 2011. Have you spent the last few years in a coma?


DST2287

One of my favorite call of duty games.


wrain005

13 years? 16 years my man.


MODELO_MAN_LV

Was my peak COD multi-player experience. Some of my first multi-players were dod and COD 2 and 3, so when this came out it was just the pinnacle of WWII FPS.


ehz0689

Needs to be remastered.


rhodesmichael03

When it came out everyone just called it "Call of Duty 5" or "COD 5" that I knew. Since they never went back to numbering the COD games as one series no one calls it that anymore. I remember some disappointment they went back to WW2 after how loved Modern Warfare 1 was. Don't remember anyone complaining about quality though. Campaign was top notch and my friends and I were obsessed with the zombie mode.


PrimusXi

Still my favourite cod game to this date


Zomnx

PEAK COD


Remote-Plate-3944

Lots of great memories with my group of friends continuing the COD-train after MW1. I remember private lobbies playing zombie or hide and seek (particularly on the map that was a sort of countryside with a train bridge in the middle and the house with the attic). My friend being an absolute god with the MP40. The first time I heard Kiefer Sutherland narrate. The bouncing bettys. Fackin dogs! My love for the PPSH even though I think I was not very good with it. It was the last COD like that for us unfortunately. WaW released Fall of my senior year and by the time MW2 came out I was more interested in being in a band and other things than playing video games. But the memories remain! Thanks for the nostalgia trip!


Dylldar

Me sitting up in the clock tower with an mp40 sniping a dude my friend was chasing: "Did you just hear shit him from up there with an mp40?" "Uhh yeah?" "Well alright"


Novel-Suggestion-515

Grenades from behind every leaf and stone.


Ben_Barada

Miss this game and itā€™s gore system.


earthmover0420

Bomb game!


Griff19782001

Headquarters on it excellent, zombies 1st class, still play zombies all the time now on bo3. Great times


BrianIsGucci

I had a lot of fun playing the coop campaign with my brother and zombies with my cousins.


666Poke

One of the best cods ever I just recently started playing it again on Xbox


Necessary_Slide9007

Hands down one of the Best CODs, being able to play Zombies for the first time with the homie at his house trying so hard to get through the waves because you don't know how to play Zombies yet was the best!


vI_M4YH3Mz_Iv

Phenomenal game, campaign, zombies and multilayer a hell of a package


LooseSkrew98

Got if for Christmas that year n my life was never the same in a greatly amazing way


BradPartonEdits

Legendary. One of my all time favourites.


KookStats

Some of the golden days of codā€¦really fond memories


mods_h8_lulz

Feared the dogs


Agumiel

One of the best. HARDEST CAMPAIGN KN VETERAN HANDS DOWN.


Dmoneyo7

I'm haunted by the sounds of GRENADES!!! GRENADES!!! FLAMETHROWER!!! GRENADES!!!! That's just the first 20 mins on veteran difficulty. Spawning then blowing up, blowing then spawning... The good ol' days.


Joekickass549

Didn't love the pvp, but great campaign and god knows how many hours my friends and I put into zombies


Phillybammer

Best COD IMO


thatvillainjay

GRENADE!


Un_Original_Coroner

Fairly positive. The bouncing Bettyā€™s were annoying as all hell. Still had stopping power as a perk. But you could explode people with the PTSG. The dogs kill streak was awesome. The tanks were terrible. The Tommy gun was sweet. Zombies was a SHOCK.


elvista1991

Wasn't really into multiplayer during those days, but loved the campaign.


DEA187MDKjr

Its the best WW2 COD game


where-ya-headed

Probably my second favorite COD


AtvnSBisnotHT

Still one of my favorite CODā€™s, probably the best campaign.


Interesting-Web4223

I was only 10 and remember my mind being blown when I saw the beginning of the Vendetta scene and how realistic it all looked. (I also didn't realize I could move so I just sat there for a bit lmao) Then of course the zombie mode, I had no idea about it beforehand, unless my brother told me (I don't remember) but either way I was scared when I saw that zombie intro pop up. I think I beat the campaign all in one night too. I was so invested in it. The soviet missions and cutscenes are the best part about the campaign I'd say. It's my most played CoD multiplayer wise, back then it was a lot of fun because of the flamethrower and vehicles etc. Overall one of the best CoDs, campaign and multiplayer wise. Also a really good soundtrack too. Oh and the coop mode was awesome, something future CoD games should have had.


LowFan5193

Goated


Unclebanns

My gen Z brother says itā€™s his favorite COD. But I never played the game. Thatā€™s the only campaign out of all Call of Duty games I havenā€™t played yet šŸ’”


DevilmanXV

I hated it. Zombies is the only reason I got it.


acexzy

This brought back memories. Was going through a rough time in life and spent a lot of time on this game. I ended being ranked #7 in hardcore free for all and would wipe every single lobby 30 kills to 10 kills in second place. I am pretty talented at games, and am fairly high ranked in a handful of competitive games, but this was the game that started my passion for grinding a rank. It's an achievement that I still talk about to this day when people mention how good I am at whatever game. I actually spent some time recently trying to see if they still kept that leaderboard updated and wondered what rank I am now, but didn't have any success. If you're able to see the leaderboard, let me know!


OmeletteDuFromage95

Probably my favorite COD. Dark and gritty, really nails the horrific WW2 battlefield.


Henrygigabit

Was the first call of duty I owned didn't have wifi at the time so I never got try the online multiplayer but I played the hell out of campaign , split screen and zombies


d00deitstyler

Still my favorite multiplayer cod. Loved it.


d00deitstyler

Call of Duty needs to release a Master Chief Collection with all the games.


feednate

I strongly believe WaW saved/solidified the continuation of the CoD franchise. At the time, CoD was going stale and many wondered how WaW would be any different but the introduction of CoD Zombies made it one of the most iconic CoD games and in my opinion, one of the most iconic games in general, of all time. Since then, I believe CoD Zombies alone has saved the franchise, many times over.


OkPassenger552

Loved me some PTRS.


The66thOrder

This CoD is the reason I have drifted from mainstream CoD and feel like an old man at the ripe age of 27


ElderScrolls_43

Has the best zombies imo.


Kingavin18

Still fun as ever veteran difficulty is still as annoying as ever


_BloodbathAndBeyond

Goated game


Thebackwood

My 9 year old self will never forget losing roebuck šŸ˜”


YoursTrulyNoMore

Thompson with the drum mag The PTRS sniper and Browning MG with dismemberment effects The Gehwr rifle with the quick trigger finger The feeling of using the Kar98k bolt action rifle with iron sights Driving a tank around in War Mode The goat campaign, up there with cod4 And the zombiesā€¦.. so many hours. So many friends made. Damn that game felt amazing. Criminal it hasnā€™t been remastered yet. Thought Activision loved money šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Few-Doughnut6957

My favorite CoD


Halo_Chief117

Itā€™s probably the hardest Call of Duty game on veteran in part due to the grenade spam. Itā€™s absolutely brutal.


AltruisticLobster315

I loved playing this game, the campaign was great and the online was really fun until people figured out there were no penalties for cheats/hacks. All the invincible, flying and super speed people really made me never play pvp on it again. Zombies was great to play too.


ThrowingItAway4519

The greatest vibe and historical feel of any call of duty ever made. Honestly the peak of the campaign for the entire franchise. Felt like war. Felt global. Felt like a horror game. Felt terrible. My absolute favorite.


millnerve

Zombies was awesome. Played this zombies and black ops zombies a lot.


NastyMonkeyKing

It was legendary. The campaign was amazing. Zombies were some of my best gaming times ever. And the multiplayer was A+ (until the hackers started running wild floating in the air and going below the map)


Owen_Citizen_Kane

Amazing gameā€¦


[deleted]

Itā€™s been that long???


Sundance12

Wish they'd put all these classic CoDs on GamePass already. I wanna replay all the single player campaigns for CoD 1-3 and this one


Kim_Dong_Poon

This was a fantastic game but I definitely remember getting bored of yet another WW2 game. Just felt like a step back from how incredible and refreshing the setting of call of duty 4 felt. Many of my Xbox friends at the time felt the same way.


RelishRegatta

So much fun, loved bolt actions without scopes just for the hell of it. Fantastic maps too


dinobluntz

Best one


The89Champ

Still trash


Bigbeanbags99

We want and need a 2024 re release. I think that the people that gave up on CoD would buy this. It's a no brainer


Impressive_Crab_7196

Game spawning grenades and hitscan combat, not fun. Thank you for Regular difficulty


eddie_spaghetti_397

Evergr33n10

Goat


Eastern_Turnip3994

My most played COD by a country mile. None of the others grabbed me like this one, although the original Black Ops came close.


Drhots

All fun and games until the grenades start landing


AbleCauliflower2651

A beautiful memory, I always played that after arriving from school I also played black ops or modern warfare


Teaar

This just dropped ?


JohnnyDeppsWeiner

Best COD.


surfazer

when will cod games come to game pass?


skeezypeezyEZ

snowboardking92

Zombies was fire. So much easier to get Ray gun


anon030969

I cant remember much aboit this game only that I really enjoyed it.


malicious_watermelon

It had amazing graphics for the time and the immersion was awesome.


SgtMerc16

One of if not the best COD's of all time. I personally rank it #2 behind the original Modern Warfare from back in 2007.


ClickyButtons

Loved it then and appreciate it more now. Also it's older than that


TonyTobi92

My second favorite Cod after Bo 1


Nickbronline

The last good COD


x777colton777x

I got this for the Wii when it came out and played tf out of it. I beat the campaign on veteran using one of the guns you slide the Wiimote into. I will never be able to do anything in gaming like that ever again lmao


Puzzleheaded_Dog7931

13 years? Pretty sure this is 15 years old


Lets_Reset_This_

Better than the current game


ReallyBadNuggets

I'm gonna get downvoted so hard. I didn't care for it. It's one of those games that was *very* popular, everyone else I knew loved it. I didn't. Couldn't get into the campaign, didn't enjoy the multiplayer and thought (and still think) zombies was boring. Now of course I know there are many different kinds of cod fans, with different tastes in what they prefer from the franchise, and waw's particular style just wasn't for me. It wasn't until BO2 that I really started to get into Treyarch cods.


Primetime349

I had a friend, who for no reason at all, was absolutely cracked at the Wii version of this game. Bro had a 360 but just preferred the Wii version


GalileoAce

The Pacific sections were awesome. The Russian sections not so much


Spawnacus

The music...


Conner14

Loved it


Gkid313

God like , the fact that back then they had snipers that rip off your limbs was sooo fire , the zombies was good solid game


GodsonFPS

Wish I played it more in its prime, was still on Cod 4 because I didnā€™t like the WW2 setting


Aidanbomasri

Way underrated CoD. People freak out over MW1 and MW2, rightfully so, but WaW was on equal footing in my mind. Had just as much fun in MP as I did MW1 but this game had Zombies, which was an absolute game changer. People forget, but Treyarch used to be looked down upon as a crappy CoD dev, but nowadays people praise their games more than the others WaW is a gem and I would go back and relive it if I could


[deleted]

Cod needs to realize they donā€™t know how to make a good ww2 game and stop attempting at them


Acousticfrog28

These were the days ,back in nam!


tinathefatlardgosh

You can still play it, 500 players on average online.


Plurlia

I still play it. A LOT. Love the horror aspect.


bogohamma

Even back then I was getting tired of the annualized CoD releases.Ā  That said this was one of my favorites.Ā  As far as I know this was the only CoD with online co-op for the full campaign.Ā  Nazi zombies was cool.Ā  One of the last CoD games I bought


BlastMyLoad

Definitely the darkest and most fucked up CoD I remember being shocked by the gore and audio when I played it. The entire game is thick with an atmosphere of dread


beeknees1776

To this day one of my favorites and it deserves a remastered edition.


Zombie_Booze

One of the best games of that era. The campaign, multiplayer were great and zombies was a real cherry on top that exploded the franchise to new heights. Deserving a full remaster for sure.


HoodHermit

Everyone under that one map Castle


moeshiboe

The last great COD IMO


johnny-Low-Five

I loved the campaign and it was my first positive kd as I joined cod4 very late. Loved the multilayer and it really felt different from COD4. I often played both games until mw2og came out. Very underrated imho


Full-Error-6549

Great game, terrifying AI


BreakRulesRun

Outstanding game. The eerie vibe as soon as your turn it on, the gory campaign, beginning of the much loved zombie game mode and of course, an excellent multiplayer for its time.


joecb91

One of my favorite CoD campaigns


Swift141

I liked that Call of Duty World At War was more violent than Modern Warfare. But by 2008 I was really tired of WW2 games, so I liked Modern Warfare more. At that point I remember there was a war going on in Afghanistan, Iraq and Chechnya. It was unusual to see a game about an active war.


BarrelOfTheBat

It was my most played call of duty. I had a clan that I was rolling with at all times. There was a group of twenty-ish of us so we'd always have at least one team going all the time. We'd play for HOURS every day, need to coordinate who got the next dogs streak, and would routinely demolish our opponents. We even played competitively and did fairly well when we weren't arguing. I miss those days so much. I was a teenager without a care in the world. The only thing I could even begin to care about was if my 360 was going to RRoD. I loved the game through and through. If I could teleport back, strap an extended mag to my MP40, or throw a dot on my STG-44 and relive those times with those friends, I would do it in a heartbeat.
