This is a Call of Duty game and you're treating it like it's the Second Coming of Christ.
Congratulations, this is the most nonsense comment I've received so far.
what is this comment
@@gavinrolls1054 I really don't know... But I thought it was kinda funny so I pinned it. That way everyone who watches the video can see it.
Bro got the pin of shame lol
PIN OF SHAME!
Vorkuta not being memorable is indeed one of the hottest takes I've ever heard
Shouting "Step one: Secure the keys!" is downright iconic.
STEP EIGHT, REZNOV! FREEDOM!
FOR YOU, MASON
NOT FOR ME!
did he actually say that? I'm at the 7 min mark - I'm gonna stop watching here coz I g2g.if he did say that vorkuta is not memorable I'm not gonna finish this video
Haha yeah, im getting that vibe that I'm the only one who thinks this. Thank you for watching and commenting!
This game was an entire chef's kiss. I wish more games were like this.
Legendary for sure
This whole era of life was a fuckin vibe man, you really just had to be there
Best way I can put it into words is the Nolan Batman trilogy was in the air lmao
Honestly. The OG Modern warfare Trilogy and then Waw, Black ops 1 and Black ops 2. 6 of the best games ever made
@@phicks7963 absolutely!!! Especially Black Ops 2 for me…that was the first Cod I ever actually grinded my ass off for Prestige Master. All those icons were so sick looking. The final week before Ghost came out, I accomplished what I set out to do and hit Prestige Master. Then we got Ghost and things haven’t ever been the same
Not Mason fumbling a date like that 😭😭
Lmfao 🤣
what?
@@davidherene6365In one of the secret terminal e-mails, he was set up on a date with a woman but she was freaked out by him because he kept muttering about the 8 steps to freedom the whole time.
@@davidherene6365 The secretary in the DC mission who looks at Mason goes on a date with her, which is revealed in the computer in the menu.
He just like me fr
Damn woods and bowman REALLY didnt fuck with hudson lmao
Knowing what he did in the second game... Their intuition was right...
@@The_GameShortsWhat did he do in the second game?.. Save David?..
He was literally forced into making the decision of having Mason be shot by Woods because of Menendez...
A very seemingly quite common misconception is that Hudson was the C.I.A Mole, he was not...
There is no incentive for him to be the mole, and the only evidence is that event, in which he literally died to save Woods despite him having a family...
Why would Menendez shoot his own Mole?.. His best asset inside the C.I.A?..
Hudson was literally set up and threatened by the real Mole and Menendez to make this decision...
In BO1 he was literally the only one who trusted Mason, Weaver was ready to just kill Mason instead...
There is ZERO evidence Hudson did any sort of betrayal, he was forced to set up Mason to save David...
I genuinely don't know why people think Hudson betrayed them... If anything, Weaver has more of a reason to be the mole (I'm not saying he is)...
Fact is, we'll probably never find out who the true Mole was...
@@Nedeziratafacts i never get the hate on hudson. him, woods and mason are a unit
@@joeysmoot7608 Indeed, especially Weaver, Hudson, and Mason... Who had a literal kill order by the C.I.A. in Op. Charybdis (awesome op name btw), where they wanted all three of them dead and they had to escape to South Africa... You'd think people would vouch for Hudson, especially after Woods was captured and Hudson wanted Mason to know (he hesitated taking the mission)...
@@Nedezirata Everything you say is straight facts and I always liked Hudson for his sacrifice. Let's hope the mole is revealed in bo6. It could be Adler 😅
Biggest crime from Dragovich and Kravchenko: Heavily Nerfing Mason’s Rizz.
He's just like me fr fr
The campaign in this game is amazing, probably the best campaign story-wise of any CoD
Yeah. I agree. Definitely the best. Thank you for watching.
@@The_GameShorts looking forward to the zombies vid!
What about WAW? The image of Reznov, Patrenko, and Chernov fighting slowly and bloodily towards Berlin from Stalingrad is on another level, I'm sorry I love them but Woods, Mason and Bowman ain't got shit on my soviets comrades who literally took down the Nazis and went through actual hell doing so. Black Ops is awesome though, definitely flashier.
@@FC3zombiehunter depends on your tastes, and I’d say the actual gameplay is better in WaW, but to me BO1 is a legitimately great Cold War spy thriller transposed into video game form
@@FC3zombiehunterboth games went so hard in my opinion but hell yeah dude Reznov and his crew were bad ass mofos for sure😤
I personally loved Vorkuta. CoD is at its best when it uses its heavy scripting and high NPC density to make the player feel like they're part of something greater than themselves, and these paired with Reznov's speeches really sell you on the idea that you're part of an uprising, it feels like a revolution. The colour palette is bland, but in fairness it is a literal gulag
Haha yeah, all valid points! 😂 Many have told me, im definitely in the minority when it comes to my opinion on the mission. Maybe next time I play through it I will slowdown and appreciate it more. I really appreciate you watching and commenting!
@@The_GameShorts No worries man, great vid, keep doing what you're doing 👍
Me too, might even one of the best cod campaign mission Ive ever played.
This game will be forever for the real men .
The darkest cod next to waw, my favorite cod game ever.
@@ethanburgess3475 waw was such a sick ww2 game, so gritty and real
and cia girlies
Fun fact: Harris, the dude that got RPG’d on the catwalk actually survives.
Shhhh don't spoil it! 😂
*_Maybe the real innovative genius of Black Ops is all the friends we made along the way._*
😂
I would tell you to stfu but were getting first, bro fell off so your doing fine man
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *Vorkuta Yells*
Always the smaller youtubers with the funniest commentary and editing
Thank you for watching and commenting! I'm still developing my style. I really do appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Fun fact. Harris the guy that falls of mount yamantau actually survives and is found by bowman’s son.
Don't spoil it! 😂 Lol
It’s probably the cheesiest moment in the whole campaign, but when Hudson puts his shades on and the music does that sting… it’s my favorite part of the game
Haha don't trip I like it too
Only somebody as cool as Black Ops 1 Hudson played by Ed Harris could pull that off.
They tried it in later games but none of the other versions had that rizz.
I love when games with fictional characters/stories added to Real life incidents. Black ops and World at War made me very obsessed with History Especially War History. Black ops is the best cod ever released.
I remember showing this game’s menu screen and cutscenes to my grandpa who had a multiple flashbacks. He was in the army during the Cuban missile crisis and before that, was in China during the civil war (his family was Chinese but he was born in the US). There were multiple points where he pointed and recognized some of the videos in the campaign. It was an awesome experience
Black ops 1 was an amazing game the campaign the multiplayer the zombies everything about it was truly great its sad to see the state it is in now to back in the OG days cod 4 waw mw2 BO1 mw3 BO2 etc great video man
Yes. The classics. Thank you for watching!
This game and the first Modern Warfare were both my two first COD games and the two first FPS games I ever properly played. At the time when I was kid all I really played was racing games and the occasional fighting game so these were basically my gateway into more adult games at an age where I was waaay to young to be playing them. BO1 in particular is the sole reason why I ended up learning so much about the Cold War when I was younger and why I have such a huge interest in history as a whole now. Safe to say these game are always going to stick with me Even to this day I always make an effort to revisit these old COD games at least once every couple of months
God Bless if that final cutscene doesn't send chills through your body you might need your T levels checked.
Only true OGs played hardcore, you’re legit.
Amazing video. Deserves way more attention. Looking forward to the future of this channel.
Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
I miss the people I met online playing this game. I wish I can remember my old psn
Same! Even to this day if you play online everyone are still chatting in the lobby
My best man at my wedding is a guy I met on bo1. We were friends for over a decade before finally meeting in person the day before my wedding. This game means a lot to me.
One of the only games where I had high expectations and real hype and It genuinely was everything I hoped for.
I still have the hardened edition on the shelf lol
Sorry for the delay in videos. Was on a family vacation and have been sick. This video was a long one to create, so i appreciate all of your support by watching!
The day JFK got assassinated. My Grandpa was hunting that day.
Best campaign in COD history!
I remember I hadn't played CoD since number 3. Completely skipped Modern Warfare. I played MW2 and was blown away. The. I got my hands on this campaign, and was truly gobsmacked.
I went from 3 straight to black ops. Been hooked ever since. The first game I pre-ordered by chance, the guy at game stop talked me into it and I don't regret it one bit. Also the very first game I played online. I was expecting something like cod 3 or cod 2 big red one. I was absolutely surprised seeing the vietnam war, the cold war era, Cuba. I already had an interest in history but this drove in into overtime. The time period was referred in my 6th grade world history class. We talked about the bay of pigs specifically and the teacher said you guys know the first mission in black ops? That's the bay of pigs invasion of Cuba. It was a really something special.
Back when CoD was truly goated. I miss what the series used to be and every time I see a video like yours, the nostalgia hits hard. In terms of the "best" Black Ops game, this is definitely it for me personally.
Such incredible story telling, even into Black Ops 2, BO3 was more into transhumanism and was more into cyberpunk and spiritualism
But like .. why tho ?
It would be cool to tackle the Zombies portion of the Black Ops saga, even though it’s a different gameplay style, the storyline was one hella simple until Black Ops 3 go too overboard.
Yeah... That'll be a long video for sure..
0:26 "we live in a world", word
😂
In terms of innovation and gameplay? Imo, no. MW2 was superior and Black Ops arguably was a step back with less content with a copy paste format and arguably was more worthy of a DLC price tag. In terms of a written Campaign? Black Ops is one of the best FPS Campaigns ever written. So much so it might arguably justify it's release price. Imo it's a Top 5 Call of Duty Campaign. One or two things hold it back from being even higher but it's still so freaking good.
Not to mention, Alex Mason is one of the most important FPS protagonists in gaming since he was the first CoD protagonist to actively speak as you play as them.
I agree with you about the campaign, one of the best
Bo1 was a much better game what are you on we agree on the campaign being the best but bo1 zombies knocks spec ops so hard out of the water it’s not even funny, say what you will about the multiplayer but the COD points system in bo1 along with the wager matches was the best the series has ever seen, the create a class was excellent too, where you could just pick to unlock a certain gun plus attachment and you didn’t need to do a billion other things to unlock it. People always accuse black ops of copy paste compared to MW when really infinity ward may pioneer the system but Treyarch refines it/polishes it almost every time. When you factor in Zombies, mw2 has always felt like it had LESS content to me. There’s one out of these two games that I’ve been playing semi consistently ever since it’s release date more than a decade ago, I’ve been playing it that long, it never gets any updates hasn’t in a decade and I still never grow tired of it no matter how much time passes, and it’s not mw2.
@@Crackedcripple Now hold up, I never said Black Ops was a bad game. In fact, Black Ops is my first CoD and my first M Rated game so I have nothing but love for it. But everything I said is true. Zombies is pretty fun of course but it’s not nearly as groundbreaking as it was in WaW with only 7 maps at maximum, 3 in base game and while not bad, BO1 is agreed mostly to be the worst Zombies from WaW - BO3. Meanwhile Spec Ops has 23 Missions in total, a lot you have to actually work to unlock by doing the missions certain ways alone or with your buddies. A good variety of missions types while Zombies is only a few maps with one mode. The unique maps do help but ultimately Bo1 is lacking content for its third mode compared to MW2. The CoD points and Wager Matches are fun but it’s not a huge addition and the create a class system is almost exactly like MW2 with a few new perks and such. Black Ops is a bit more polished than MW2 but is a patch worth a full price tag? I don’t think so. Many other games do what CoD does for free. My argument isn’t that Black Ops is bad. My argument is that what Black Ops offers compared to MW2 doesn’t justify being a full priced video game at launch. Black Ops would have worked better as a DLC for MW2 than its own game, which is fair.
To me this is the best call of duty black ops game in the black ops series. Only thing good about black ops 2 is the campaign I thought the multiplayer was horrible in black ops 2 and the maps where horrible
I don't know if I go that far... But I do prefer bo1 to bo2
I’m gonna have to disagree about Vorkuta. That mission had me so hyped. Either way, this is probably the best campaign in the series.
Forever my favorite Call Of Duty title.
Black Ops changed my life for tbe better, made me look up history,U.S. History and reading about Vietnam reading about CIA Government operations, secrets, and experiments. Goddamn this game is fantastic
Vid came up on my home page, watched all of it & about to watch the MW2 one lmao. Really liked the easter eggs and references thrown in too! would be dope to see the rest of black ops!
Thanks man! I appreciate it
I remember at the time of release I was more interested in Halo Reach and I remember people Preferring Modern Warfare 2 over this. Having played through it tho, I Love it.
Playing b01 is amazing when drunk because you get to understand
The campaing and understand then campaign and know the story because you are generally interested in the storyline and with that you love it and become interested
I've always considered Black Ops 1 to be the most "polished" CoD. Engaging Campaign, (mostly) balanced multiplayer, and an excellent co-op zombies mode makes it the top five CoD games of all time.
Dude the moments where you just play out memorable scenes I can’t rn with you unlocking core memories
in my opinion vorkuta is the most iconic mission in any cod game
Probably goes no Russian then vorkutaw
My whole personality is based on this game
Lol not a bad game for that
I had a fun time doing my own research into the real events behind this game when making a video on the subject.
Made me appreciate the game even more.
BTW you have a very relaxing voice.
Thank you for watching!. I'll have to check out your videos too.
14:23 Fun fact: on the Wii you are armed with a crossbow with explosive bolts
I'm not sure if it was intentional, but I like how at 9:59 when you said the fire effects were a downgrade, you gave an example in the footage. That's super attentive, definitely subbing
It was intentional! Thanks for noticing and watching and commenting! I really appreciate it
@@The_GameShorts yeah I watched the whole thing, this video is really nice to have in the background or smth. That intro edit was KILLER btw, fight the good fight boss.
I remember not having the game yet but the demo had carried me through days without internet, then after playing zombies. You never got Mule Kick when playing offline but I never used that. Campaign is something that had a certain “jeneseque”, I don’t think we’ll ever get again. It took a leaf from WAW with the mix of real life clips. Theres too much to say that my basic English won’t be able to do justice.
Yeah. The campaign had a style to it that's for sure. Thank you for watching.
If you ever played the original resistance you should make a video on it since I feel like it's one of the most underrated franchises
I can sure do that, thanks for the feedback!
And now we have garbage
Dont even get me started on why Reznov is easily the best character in all of COD
Having the players appearance reflect their perk choice was genius
I would do anything to have this campaign remastered
Another excellent retrospective and nostalgia trip! Treyarch made 2 masterpieces with this game and BO2.
Black ops 2... Great game.. but... I've got some hot takes for sure. Loved the campaign though.
Black Ops 1 ran so Black Ops 2 could sprint.
Lol I feel like one of a select few who prefers BO1 over BO2
Facccck, playing those scenes between the missions, and the voices, sound effects, and everything..... this game is so good.
About the car at around 8:50. its a mercedes w111 and in 1959-1961 models it was also offered with the "hydrak" semi auto transmission. It has torque converter coupled to manual transmission so no clutch pedal but you have to use a shifter to shift manually. But Its prob just coincidence, i doubt devs knew that much about the w111 to model it as hydrak version in game. Prob forgot to put clutch pedal in the game model and coincidentally w111 at the era also had hydrak as option so technically they werent wrong
Wow, I didn't know that! Thank you for letting me know
For me Personally, I gotta say, I don’t think your Vorkuta take is especially out there. More specifically, I think that the rest of the game is so fucking memorable, that Vorkuta simply falls short in comparison. Still a great mission, but compared to the rest of the game, it just isn’t as great.
I think calling it forgettable is a tad much, because I think when you’re playing it, it’s fucking amazing. Still, not as big of a hot take as most of the comments seem to think.
Hahaha yeah I've quickly found out how wrong I was according to public opinion! 😂. Thank you for watching and commenting, I really appreciate it.
I believe you're right. It's not a bad mission... Just when I look back I think of other missions in the game that are just superb.
Best call of duty campaign ever.
Perfect intro for upcoming DEFCON
So canonically speaking, Mason went to rebirth Island alone, and murdered dozens to get to Steiner. All of which were armed and trying to kill him. Is Mason doomguy?
Yeah... He was stomping some Christmas noobs
You’ve got style my guy. This video was awesome.
+1 sub.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words! It means a lot.
No problem! I’m excited for what you cover next!
Would you call this your favorite cod campaign?
@@DiptenLive this or black ops 2.
This game is like rewatching an awesome classic movie like Lord of Rings.
This and halo reach was peak gaming for fps
Only legends remember and play this game!
Holy shit amazing video, and i know im dogpiling but vorkuda best mission rip sergie the streets will always remember you.
Haha thanks man! Appreciate you watching
You make great content, really enjoyed it! Looking forward to more
Thank you man!
I’m lost for words by how well this video was put together. Just amazing 👏🏼
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it! Working on next video now... But it's not Call of Duty.. so he aware lol
This is definitely my favorite after world at war, still keeps with the same dark atmosphere and mood. Also so much history in it
Never noticed the screech in that 2nd bowman from mason in all my years of playing this, god the voice acting was so good
This guy kinda sounds like AI but maybe he just has a very robotic, monotone voice
I'm not an AI, but I struggle with conveying emotion without sounding fake. I'm trying to work on it.
“The Vorkuta mission was not memorable”😐
Well that's just like, my opinion man
@@The_GameShorts I just can’t wrap my head around it because that might be the most known mission in cod history other than maybe no Russian
This video deserves way more recognition. Salute to you my good sir. Brought back so many memories. My all time favorite game ever.
I had no idea ice cube was bowman’s voice actor that’s cool as hell
By far the worst voice acting in the game.
clicking on the video followed by the numbers just hit me like a truck then right into Paint it black got me floored. Subbed for life
Thanks man! I really do appreciate you watching and commenting! I definitely put a lot of effort into that intro!
THE MEMES MASON!?!? WHAT...DO...THEY MEAN!?!?!
Skibbidi...ohio...gyatt...fanum tax...Rizzler...
For real. What do they mean lol
@@The_GameShorts it's Japanese autism weaponized against you!!! Don't you get it!?! How else could they get back at us without being seen as sus!?! God damnit it's too late you're already a sussy baka 😔
Your mom letting you cut school in 8th grade to play call of duty all night is craaaaaazy
Yeah.... But made for some great memories lol
Back when I didn't need Adderall to focus in the Main menu :( I miss it
Yes. Was a simpler time
Zombies arcade was my shit
Good Channel
Nice Videos
I Subscribed
Huh. They just teased Black Ops 6, seems like it will be set some time between 1990 and 2001, maybe jutting back and forth like the games usually do. From the marketing it actually reminds me a lot of this game (so did Cold War but I personally felt that was more fan service than it was authentic), I hope it can capture a similar grittiness and blends fiction with history like this game did.
Anyways, awesome video. Only 1k subs is a crime.
Dang man I really appreciate the kind words! I hope black ops is a return to form for the series... I hope.
You just had to be there
Wait ice cub is Muslim
I'm as old as black ops
Excellent video one of my favorite cods, thanks man
Thank you for watching!
I know damn well bro didnt say mw2 is bright and b01 is brown lmao look at the game case for mw2 thats exactly what the game looks like u gotta go back and play mw2
My favourite by far
BlOps is peak gaming
WHOA! Nice edit at the beginning with the zip line 🤯🤯🤯
Thanks lol
The numbers man 😂😂
Who’s tried jumping into the helicopters’ blades at the part before you board the boat at 40:30
I haven't haha. But next time I will try
The best game ever
Sergey was a goat
This game specifically holds a special place in my heart. I got it as a bday gift for my father who was in the military. Bc of that he had little time to play it so I did. 10yrs later I had him play the campaign to see wut he missed out on.
I was 8 years old when this game came out. The themes stuck with me but a lot of the context was lost to innocence. Great deep dive and editing.
Thank you!
Goated video
I don't think any amount of words really describes the magic of Black Ops. I'll keep watching all these longform videos about it though.
