Great Casting Great Story line Great Gameplay Great Zombies Great Multiplayer This game has it all. It was an amazing game to play and now watching this reminds me of how great it still stands in the series
JFK knew about Element 115 since it's in the labs of the Pentagon and my guess is he knew about the zombies too along, McNamara probably was briefed on it but it was still classified until it happened, Castro likes fighting and doesn't question it, Nixon lost the debate but was invited to the meeting anyway, he probably had no idea about zombies let alone Element 115
I mean, it had a few good campaign FEATURES, those being the dropship thing before each mission where you can customise your gear & the other good part is the campaign being multiplayer
same. imo, it peaked in 2012 then had its ups and downs and did a little bit better with 2019 but after warzone it went to complete garbage. dog shit wrapped in cat shit. sad, but its saved me a lot of time and the money of buying the game each year like i used to lol
The performances particularly by Sam Worthington and Ed Harris were absolutely brilliant. Their lines land so well. The delivery is uncommonly entertaining and satisfying, while still sounding REAL. It doesn't sound like acting. Genuinely brilliant. Honestly you don't see this caliber of acting in a lot of things let alone most games. Some of my favorite bits of dialogue: 50:571:38:30 2:01:53 2:11:55
James Burns and Gary Oldman were also amazing as Frank Woods and Victor Reznov, respectively. Those four really carried the entire game with their performances.
1:38:09 this cutscene got me chills the first time I played this. When they told me I couldn’t trust Reznov and the interrogator raising his voice about a war and all that. I love bo1 so much
Yeah, Sam Worthington and Ed Harris were absolutely amazing in this game. You even got to actually play as both of their characters throughout the campaign.
Jason hudson is a pretty damn patient man waiting for mason to finish remembering the events that unfolded considering Nova 6 was about to be released by that time
Easily definitely one of the best Campaign stories of all time, but you can't forget what Black Ops 2 did with their story with being able to choose your own paths of who dies, and who sacrifices to either capture or kill Menendez! Definitely one the craziest roller coaster rides of a story! Although BO1 was based of off history, BO2 definitely shined with being able to deal with history both in the past and the future with Mason's son! BO2 has to be my most favorite story of all time! Due to the multiple endings you get that you did throughout the story.
When I saw the player character actually speak during the gameplay, I was like “What is this? COD never lets its player characters speak during gameplay! What is this madness?!
Yeah, this was the first entry in the franchise where they actually did that, and it made Alex Mason and Jason Hudson so much more noteworthy and memorable as a result. Sam Worthington and Ed Harris, respectively, both did a phenomenal job with the voice acting.
You make the closest friends when you’ve been through tough shit together. I can only imagine how tough it is on you to have one sacrifice himself to save you.
The JFK cutscenes where just outstanding! Watching mason fight his brainwashing and seeing what he’s seeing as a sleep agent just brings back so many fantastic memories about this game
"You were getting close to your objective . . It was working" Dude I dont know why but when you know what happened to him in vorkuta that line just... Wow.
I played this when I was so young and couldn’t understand nor comprehend the story, now I watch this and can appreciative the masterpiece we were given. This era of cod was unbelievable. Best story in game of all time.
Indeed, in 2:25:48 mason says "procced to target oswald compromise" which gave me tge fucking chills knowing what he meant by that. Looks like there was 2 sleeper agents from the soviets. Poor mason and oswald.
My Theory is that Mason killed the double! Because Everyone was watching alex mason in the Pentagon and he had been alone with double JFK ,even tho his mind wasnt fitting,remembering Reznov and so on!
@@sankeerthkoshy61 like Fidel Castro had a Double that looked exactly like him but hes not fidel do you remember the mission where you shot fake fidel castro with a bullet and the women
This was my first call of duty game. I played it when I was seven (I didn’t play the campaign till I was eleven) And I still prefer it over any other call of duty out there.
I used to watch a friend play this game whenever I would go over to his house. But I only ever saw bits and pieces of the story and never understood what was happening. I had totally forgotten about it until recently. And now I finally know what was going on
I love Black Ops for its incredibly dark storyline that feels like playing a horror game, and I love Black Ops 2 for its more fast paced gameplay...and also Menendez.
This was the first cod I bought myself. I had played modern warfare and World at war, but this was different. The only other campaign I've played more than once was black ops 2,but this will hold a special place in my heart. I met my best friend through this game. Black Ops 1 is legendary. Always will be
Damn seeing this game again gives me all kinds of memories. This was my first actual Call Of Duty game. And i always stayed with the Black Ops series because its the best of the whole Call Of Duty Franchise!
Dozen Setiawan I legit remember playing the demo of this game when I was so young I thought this mission was so cool that I just needed the full game, yet it became one of my favourite shooters to date
Apart from the sake 3 explosion sound affects a which drive me insane. The sound design for the game is like nothing I’ve ever played. The sound track is one of, if not THE best sound tracks ever made. I love it. This game is one of a kind.
Ever notice the Russian prisoners escape plan steps are the same steps for the origins main Easter egg. Listen to theirs and look up the origins Easter egg.
Reznov!! Why must you die! Reznov would have been a great companion to mason through the game. But if he didnt die the game wouldn’t be complete since most cod games are shooting, friendship and sadness. This is probably the best in the cod series. Kudos to the developers and the people who help with this game
I love all these exotic and vintage secret stories around Cuba, Russia ecc.. in the second half of 20 century. This game really evocative those atmospheres. I wonder was cold war has been.
I played this game so many times since it came out and only now did I realize that the codes they use at the pentagon (Prospero and Sycorax) are from Shakespeares “The Tempest”.
It is a great movie that takes place during the cold war and is about a CIA agent that get brainwashed by Russians. At the end it all unfolds and you find out what happened
Not gunna lie out of no were i got sucked into watching the whole thing. Thanks for putting it up brings back memories now since BO4 does not have a career mode.

I love JFK’s reaction at the end, hes just like “mhm, yep, zombies, I knew it.”

K. I. A “even the best are affected by the war” 😂 tht what he was saying
I know right
theres a point where Mason says something to himself supposedly talking to Reznov and Bowman asks him "Uhh.. Say again?"
He was talking to his imaginary friend “Tricky Vik”

Maximilian Blomberg Nah stfu kid your dumb
Cod black ops 1: continuation of WaW
Cod black ops 2: continuation of bo1
Cod black ops 3: random garbage

I wouldn't say BO3 was garbage, just a bit of a disappointment.
I mean, it had a few good campaign FEATURES, those being the dropship thing before each mission where you can customise your gear & the other good part is the campaign being multiplayer
Bo3 was my favourite game tbh, it was random but it wasn’t garbage
But I agree with bo4 cause that was absolutely 💩 literally deleted it an hour after I got it
Shall cod black ops cold war be good
I literally can’t explain how much I miss the glory days of Call of Duty
Call Of Duty sadly declined greatly after Black Ops 2 in 2012. That was the last truly amazing entry in my eyes.

That's the thing about repressed memories. You need to be eased into a traumatic event. Jumping straight in shuts the patient down.
He's C.I.A. They're trained and prepared for situations like this.
RIP Dimitri one of the best Russian characters in cod
True
@ASHTON SPAFFORD ah yes of course
His death was really brutal he deserve a better and peaceful death
Dimitri Petrenko was one of the bravest men I had ever known. He fought by my side from the siege of Stalingrad to the fall of Berlin.
Reznov is better
Brings back so many memories. By far the best storyline in Cod IMO 😃
The Light my opnion 2
This MW2 and WAW
they need to remake this game
Brandon Babitz We definitely need a remaster!
John Shepherd no we dont we just need it to be compatible to the ps4
i need play it in my ps4 =\

Nah Mw trilogy is better
Cod was good until Ghosts
Then IW had a good campaign
And now this year cod will be Mw4
Best cod *bo* game
meh I like bo3 more.
"I'll be fine, get out of here!"

Best cod ever made
deal.
Fox Hound true
True I played multiplayer alot
Cod MW2 is better
yep still the best
Why does this look so damn good. Better than bo3
Because BO3 sucks ass
Because Treyarch actually put heart into BO1.

I’m still not over how perfect this game was and still is. Still have to come back and grind on it year after year
Nostalgia riddled all over this from Alex’s voice to his screams to the graphics it’s all perfect 👌
M- my pfp????!
1:45 You know Mason has had a bad time when the mere mention of Woods and Bowman makes him panic
58:14 You can see how happy Mason was thinking about Reznov, really showed how much he respected and even cared for him
for real tho !
You make the closest friends when you’ve been through tough shit together. I can only imagine how tough it is on you to have one sacrifice himself to save you.
The JFK cutscenes where just outstanding! Watching mason fight his brainwashing and seeing what he’s seeing as a sleep agent just brings back so many fantastic memories about this game
Even though Reznov wasn’t there for any of the events after Vorkuta, the scenes he appeared in felt very much fantastic
I love how they put some little references to world at war in this game. Absolutely great attention to detail.
29:11 probably the scariest moment in call of Duty history!
The most scariest... English left the chat.
I remember shitting bricks watching that unfold as a kid 😂
44:26 That COD : World at War music tho.....love the connection with Black Ops
The game would’ve been short if Mason had just said “i don’t know”
I feel like this entire interrogation was maybe a minute or two, but obviously you’re just playing through Masons memories
DanQZ nah at the end Hudson said they replayed the broadcast for endless hours to mason
1:05 he did say I don't known you idiot
BRIAN LOPEZ know*

"You were getting close to your objective

I really love how this game was pretty much just a sequel to world at war best 2 call of dutys they ever made!

As if the campaign wasn't good enough for you, multiplayer and zombies was glorious. Miss every bit of this golden call of duty.
I played this game so many times since it came out and only now did I realize that the codes they use at the pentagon (Prospero and Sycorax) are from Shakespeares “The Tempest”.
Best Cod , multiplayer , zombie , setting , soundtrack i was so hyped for the Dlc releases back then what a great time , best cod by far
It is a great movie that takes place during the cold war and is about a CIA agent that get brainwashed by Russians.
At the end it all unfolds and you find out what happened
this game is so goated. best cod story out of them all, none can compare

To this day, still one of THE best COD campaigns, BO1, WAW, and MW2 are the three best campaigns of COD to ever exist, anyone agree?
Black ops is so good it like you’re just watching a movie the whole time you’re playing it

you mean the last? WAW and BO1 were peak. Story and multiplayer. Bo2’s story was good but still funky
@@John-B-Goodenough second to last
BO2 was the last good CoD ever made. WaW came out before BO2 so my comment still stands
