Mason got captured by bad guys, bad guys brainwash him with numbers that when he hears them it will make him go evil and kill Kennedy and help release nova 6 in muricah, reznov brainwash mason and makes him kill evil guys and stop corona virus... till 2020. The end.
"This one goes out to you, Mortal 7. This mission revolves around our titular main character, Alex Mason, as he discovers exactly what the numbers that have been seemingly been broadcasting at random times across the span of his journey mean. The mission starts with Alex Mason in the interrogation chair, with the two unknown interrogators arguing about whether or not to enter a bunker, as the Nova 6 sleeper agents are about to go off, effectively killing everyone in the main cities in the United States, Washington DC included. One interrogator, saying he has "one more card up his sleeve" leaves the interrogation room, to which the other interrogator replies "You want to die here? Fine." As the interrogator leaves he reveals himself to be Hudson, Mason's Commanding Officer, with the other interrogator being Weaver, one of Mason's close friends. Hudson unstraps Mason from the interrogation chair, believing Mason is not the traitor he is claimed to be. Mason, in his newfound freedom, punches Hudson in the face, sending him towards the TV screen seen in the Main Menu, knocking him out. Mason then stands up, and leaves the interrogation room, heading into another room. He begins to hear the numbers again, while seeing flashbacks to his previous endeavors, finally, after entering a surgical room, he remembers a flashback to Vorkuta, understanding that Dragovich, Krevchenco, and Steiner had brainwashed him in an attempt to get him to kill John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the current US President. In this, Viktor Reznov had sabotaged Mason's brainwashing, which did not change Mason's directive, but added on to it, with new orders to kill Kennedy, Dragovich, Krevchenco, and Stiener. Mason, now understanding this, continues to walk around what appears to be the Pentagon, before seeing a room full of televisions, all of which have Reznovs face on them, Reznov begins to tell Mason that he needs to survive, that... "We are brothers, Mason. We... are the same." He then exits the room, and advances down a hallway, only to find himself staring at the Ascension Project's rocket, taking off, before entering a control room, before getting punched by Hudson, who had woke up and followed Mason. Hudson then points a pistol at Mason, giving him one last chance to listen to the numbers, telling him to..."Listen to them, hell, listen again!" Mason, after hearing Dragovich talk about how all further broadcasts be from the Resulka, a ship given to him by Fidel Castro, understands that the Resulka, which is in Cuba, is where the numbers are being broadcast from. Mason, out of his trance, tells Hudson what he just learned. Hudson throws on his shades with a guitar riff playing in the background fade to black Edited for accuracy. Thanks guys, and thanks to Mortal 7 for inspiring me to do this. " @Mortal7 this was made by Roman Giles, NOT ME!
I love how the game drops subtle hints to this through the entire campaign. For example you don’t know that Hudson is one of the interrogators until this mission. But one of the first things he says to you during the interrogation is “give us what we want and we can guarantee your safety”. Hudson says this exact thing later on in the campaign when he and weaver interrogate the nova 6 scientist.
i love the details in dialogue as well. when you "rescue" the defector, who mason hallucinates as reznov, he introduces himself to woods and bowman, but they take no notice of him. during all the vietnam misions, whenever reznov is around woods and bowman, they never seem to acknowledge him, he often disappears and reappears only ever appears when mason is alone or pursuing kravchenko, dragovitch or steiner, just great writing overall.
Also you can't friendly fire Reznov in any missions he's in except for Vorkuta, and in Rebirth, he just straight up teleports to the top of the stairs where Mason pulls the soldier down. Also if you look at him, your crosshairs will not turn green.
"It's a ship called the Rusalka." "Where?" "Cuba." "No shit Mason, it's been sitting in drydock for like five fucking years. I'm with the CIA, you think I don't have eyes and ears on the entire god damn planet?"
Such an underrated thing about BO1 is the art direction. The gross, desaturated, dark colors and blurry lens flare perfectly match the Cold War and the story in general. Everything in this game is fucking awesome.
Agree atrongly. I also miss the tone of games like this. Story-wise it's a perfect mystery thriller, while thematically it's dark and explores the horrors of war as well as the paranoia and fear of 60s/70s. I wish games today more often told stories as good as this one.
Cold War was good but i honestly felt like it was just really upbeat and good times, BO1 on the other hand really felt like a actual crisis was going on and you were fighting in a war
i fucking adore how well they made this mission. you literally watch Masons mind split in two right there. then the moment he realises that reznov dies on the computer screens is genuinely frightening. you can hear masons heart beating quicker as he starts panicking realising what’s actually happened. how Reznov was in his head this whole time so he starts murmuring to himself incoherent nonsensical words while he tries to piece together who he is why he is there and just all in all what the fucks actually happening to him. its INSANE.
Yeah. You also feel for Mason because he trusted Reznov but in spite of it, Reznov just saw Mason as a means to an end too even as much as he respected him too for their time in Vorkuta. And how it is for Alex when he says "I trusted him." to Hudson after Hudson begins to explain what Dragovich did to Mason was the Russians' attempts at MK-Ultra to try to get him to kill Kennedy like what is hinted they did to Lee Harvey Oswald too.
@@BryonYoungblood yeah at the end of the day when push came to shove Reznovs only drive to keep him alive was his thirst for revenge. He knew mason was just like him. And Reznov knew Mason could do what he could no longer do. Take revenge on Dragovich Kravchenko and Steiner. So when Reznov knew he had succeeded in brain washing mason he had no reason to live anymore.
see its disappointing they changed them yes, but the people they chose for Mason and Hudson were just criminal, like the VOs did a good job but their voices are NOT for stone cold badass CIA operators. even the actors in Black ops 2 were good, the one they chose for David would've been better for Alex
The "I trusted him" from Mason around the 7:00 mark was great, this voice actor did amazing. From that line alone and Hudson's monologue continuing after I can clearly imagine the wide eyed expression of Mason, staring at Hudson as everything in his head is still shifting into place, and only now has he really started listening to what's being said to him.
Me too, and just the sadness in Alex's voice ties to the shock of Hudson telling him that Reznov died at Vorkuta and what he did to Alex's brainwashing when Dragovich programmed him to kill Kennedy, as well as how Hudson was when he said "That's why it worked!". The voice directing in this game is amazing, and the performances by these big name celebrities like Sam Worthington and Ed Harris makes it even better!
@@BryonYoungblood Hilariously enough, if Reznov hadn't had hijacked the kidnapping, Mason would have had bigger problems than what he fell into. So yeah, Reznov was still looking out for him in a way.
“Dragovich brainwashed you, but Reznov had plans of his own. He was never in Vietnam. The real defector with the Nova Six dossier died during the attack on MAC-V. He was never in the rat tunnels. He was never at Rebirth Island. Viktor Reznov's been dead for five years. He died at Vorkuta during the escape! All the years you thought he was with you. That was just in your mind!" Still the best plot twists in video games in my opinion
You kinda get hints at it too throughout the game, like how reznov doesn’t answer your question about how he got out alive, none of your teammates talk to him, and the one dude asks what’s wrong with you when talking to reznov, before getting killed.
"The pain... Oh my god" Okay but the way Sam voiced that line was primo. Sounds like the voice of a man on the edge of breaking, someone who had a hole drilled in their head and filled with russian conditioning. What an actor man.
the amount of production that went into this game is insane, you can hear mason say. "Oswald compromised" and notice how hudson said "there were times where you went MIA and we couldnt account for you" also before you kill dragovich mason says "you tried to make me kill my own president" dragovich replies "tried?" in the ending credits of the woman recording saying the numbers you can see the corner of a book on the table that was written by JFK, absolutely fascinating there are videos that explain it all more in depth

And also think about it, Hudson says that there are gaps in Mason’s memory and periods where he went MIA so one of those times he went dark could’ve very well been when he assassinated JFK and the reason why he wouldn’t remember it is because his programming took over and he was like a machine following it’s orders to a tee
@@angelob2375 Remember Hudson said "Dragovich programmed you to kill Kennedy but Reznov sabotaged you. Dragovich, Krevchenko, Steiner, three new victims." So i dont think Mason wasnt involved in the Kennedy's assasination
Those are really some of the Echelon codes you can find in the interrogation room computer if you go digging hard enough. Really cool fuckin details in this game I STG.
@@persondahydrationman each time I watch or play this game I always find something new, Jesus Christ in the mission where you meet Kennedy there’s pictures of Oswald in the background
@Colonel 100 At the end of the campaign, you see footage of Kenndey at Love Field. The camera zooms in the crowd to show Mason there to lead viewers to that he was the second shooter (probably Grassy Knoll)
Also, a small detail: If you pause the game, you can see in the Objective tab multiple numbers, just like Mason does, that continuously appear the more you progress throughout the mission. I remember that when I first discovered this, I kept pausing the game repeatedly just to see the numbers multiply continuously
@@ligero_en_la_mente8447 It can't be schizophrenia man when you implant electrodes in your brain (science fiction brainwash) it can fuck your cognitive abilities and possibly make you hallucinate. Schitzo hallucinations consist of many characters and they sufferers hear then constantly compared to mason seeing reznov now and then. Maybe when the numbers are played he starts to hallucinate
I once tried walking backwards at 5:28 to see if Hudson would randomly appear in the hallway, but my character just did a full 360 degree spin and Hudson appeared making a fist.
This game just hits different compared to any other game in the franchise. I loved the eerie, cold war feeling that it had. Hurts to know that COD will *never* be on the same level as it was back from COD4 to BO2.
@@christopherregan1654 Yeah I swear honestly. WAW just had you play as an ambiguous character who you weren’t familiar with and likely would forget (because that’s the idea of a solider, you’ll eventually die and be forgotten by both time and history) from both the USA and USSR. As you began *Semper Fi* and then later *Vendetta* this showed you both the different kinds of horrors happening simultaneously on the pacific and eastern front. Fast forward to WW2 (story is just a campaign designed by a bunch of devs who watched Saving Private Ryan and thought “mhmmm let’s do that but on corny scale that screams Hollywood by inserting a cutscene along with a new every character every 5 seconds”.) Then there’s Vanguard (All I can say is I’m convinced that Netflix wrote the campaign, it was just that bad, the whole story is basically pseudo-history.)
The objective updates themselves are cryptic coded messages shown in the pause menu that relies on a book that only appears briefly in the intro sequence of the game. It has been decoded and there's a video about it on yt, look up "Black Ops Easter Egg: The Coded Number Sequences Decrypted"
I couldnt imagine being Steiner in his last moments remembering Mason and then Mason screaming "My name is Viktor Reznov!" Realizing thats Reznov talking to Steiner in his last moments, truly genius and terrifying
@@cenniebeanie Check out the original Voice Actors cast in B01, it's an all-star cast: Sam Worthington as Mason, Ed Harris as Hudson, Gary Oldman as Reznov. And then in B02 Micheal Keaton replaced Ed Harris as the voice of Hudson.
The voice acting in this game was absolutely spectacular, I could actually go on and on about how good this game is, but I'm sure everybody already know this
This mission I don't know why but I love it! 3:44 This line with Mason / voice actor saying this gave me so much goosebumps the first time. I love it so much I can't forget it! It's one of my favorite Call of Duty quotes! " Proceed to target! *Oswald* *COMPROMISED!* "

“In Vorkuta we are all brothers, With my life, he and us are not so different we are soldiers without an army betrayed ,forgotten, abandoned. You will survive you have too! We are brothers Mason We are the same”
@@joshuapowell2516 I'll honestly take the in-app purchases as long as they arent game breaking. This cod is hands down my best and favorite cod of all time.
What Adler and Woods from Cold War didn't bring to the table, Mason, Hudson, Woods and Reznov brought 10 fold....Sam Worthington, Ed Harris, James C. Burns and Gary Oldman did some phenomenal work with this game....and I sorely miss their voices on the other end of it all...
When I first played this a few years ago when my brother got it secondhand, I forced myself to finish the campaign, and when I reached this part, I was seriously mind blown.
this game had a completely different vibe than the other CODs the cold war era vibe was perfect the whole thing was made good but im sad we wont see a remake of this game 🥱
A little detail that I really liked: if you shoot Reznov in the Black Ops 1 campaign (after the second mission) your bullets go right through him and you never get a friendly fire warning. however, if you shoot literally anyone else on your team you do get the friendly fire will not be tolerated screen. a nice detail I discovered when I was like 6.
Mason’s voice actor did incredible, the pain in his voice makes me shudder. Woods was a great character, Rehznov was memorable, but Mason? Most Underrated performance by far.
Bruh, Mason is not just some voice actor, he's voiced by Sam Worthington from Avatar, Hudson is voiced by Ed Harris, and Reznov is voiced by Gary Oldman.
This personally is my favorite campaign, the way you put 2 and 2 together when playing this mission. Thinking about every mission you went through after the very first mission, “was resnov really there?” “Was there really a defector?” “Was there really nova 6?” A very well made campaign. The game really made me think Resnov was there with Mason on rebirth island.
@@NoBody-lj5xh Infinite Warfare had a strong campaign all things considered, MP was meh, but the story is good, something that NO ONE expected from the most hated CoD from the launch
Dude I remember playing this game over 10 years ago. Probably one of the best games I've ever played, I would've been like 14 back then, was completely blown away by the plot.

@@xDarkShadowX126This game was so well done that zombies and the campaign felt connected. I remember watching the screens when you switch to zombies and seeing the nova crawlers and thinking they would come out on the missions where you’re exposed to nova 6
I miss the good old days when this game came out, I was in middle school, and my god it was perfect. Back then when games were polished from the get go, and everyone wanted to play this together. That, and Black Ops was possibly the best Cod game around.
Yea black ops 1 to me was like a horror game 😂 I like the new style more good vibes however I still miss the realism in the first one. To me bo2 was perfect

And also think about it, Hudson says that there are gaps in Mason’s memory and periods where he went MIA so one of those times he went dark could’ve very well been when he assassinated JFK and the reason why he wouldn’t remember it is because his programming took over and he was like a machine following it’s orders to a tee
@@angelob2375 Remember Hudson said "Dragovich programmed you to kill Kennedy but Reznov sabotaged you. Dragovich, Krevchenko, Steiner, three new victims." So i dont think Mason wasnt involved in the Kennedy's assasination

Thank you for the timestamp that's the whole reason why I'm watching this video
Those are really some of the Echelon codes you can find in the interrogation room computer if you go digging hard enough. Really cool fuckin details in this game I STG.
@@persondahydrationman forsure man.
@@persondahydrationman each time I watch or play this game I always find something new, Jesus Christ in the mission where you meet Kennedy there’s pictures of Oswald in the background
@Colonel 100 At the end of the campaign, you see footage of Kenndey at Love Field. The camera zooms in the crowd to show Mason there to lead viewers to that he was the second shooter (probably Grassy Knoll)
Also, a small detail:
If you pause the game, you can see in the Objective tab multiple numbers, just like Mason does, that continuously appear the more you progress throughout the mission.
I remember that when I first discovered this, I kept pausing the game repeatedly just to see the numbers multiply continuously
Dam I played this when I was 8 and none of this clicked in my head then but now it does dam this is sick
Burnt waffle 55 yep mason had schizophrenia which is why he was convinced about reznov in his presence

@@ligero_en_la_mente8447 It can't be schizophrenia man when you implant electrodes in your brain (science fiction brainwash) it can fuck your cognitive abilities and possibly make you hallucinate. Schitzo hallucinations consist of many characters and they sufferers hear then constantly compared to mason seeing reznov now and then. Maybe when the numbers are played he starts to hallucinate
Well it is rated M for a reason, not just because theres a shit ton of war
Yeah fully the same
I once tried walking backwards at 5:28 to see if Hudson would randomly appear in the hallway, but my character just did a full 360 degree spin and Hudson appeared making a fist.
I used to do that too lol
Same, it was pretty funny
Mason's voice actor brought his A-game. He sounds legitimately agonized.
I wish they had the original one in Cold War 😭
Well no shit Sam Worthington is a real actor
@@brandyDC he was too busy with the movie, Avatar 2

This game just hits different compared to any other game in the franchise. I loved the eerie, cold war feeling that it had.
Hurts to know that COD will *never* be on the same level as it was back from COD4 to BO2.
Even the original WW2 trilogy from 2003-2006 still smashes "COD WW2" and "COD Vanguard" to this day.
People... Liked Vanguard...?
@@christopherregan1654 Yeah I swear honestly. WAW just had you play as an ambiguous character who you weren’t familiar with and likely would forget (because that’s the idea of a solider, you’ll eventually die and be forgotten by both time and history) from both the USA and USSR. As you began *Semper Fi* and then later *Vendetta* this showed you both the different kinds of horrors happening simultaneously on the pacific and eastern front.
Fast forward to WW2 (story is just a campaign designed by a bunch of devs who watched Saving Private Ryan and thought “mhmmm let’s do that but on corny scale that screams Hollywood by inserting a cutscene along with a new every character every 5 seconds”.)
Then there’s Vanguard (All I can say is I’m convinced that Netflix wrote the campaign, it was just that bad, the whole story is basically pseudo-history.)
but i bet new cod supporters says otherwise 🤣. f new cod games kids can have it og cod gamers will stick with og black ops.
The new MW3 Retold will change that forever!
"Viktor Reznov has been dead for 5 years"
Objective Updated.
Objective update: you are crying and pissing yourself at the same time.

" Proceed to target! *Oswald* *COMPROMISED!* "
It basically confirmed that Mason was the 2nd shooter, and even before Dragovich and the final ending cutscene told us

This personally is my favorite campaign, the way you put 2 and 2 together when playing this mission. Thinking about every mission you went through after the very first mission, “was resnov really there?” “Was there really a defector?” “Was there really nova 6?” A very well made campaign. The game really made me think Resnov was there with Mason on rebirth island.
