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
@@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.
@@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...
@@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)...
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
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!
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
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
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.
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.
I always thought that Black Ops' ending was a red herring. The final mission ends with the "merica" spiel, but it feels so fake. It almost feels like Mason can see behind all the 'pride', due to the fact that he was brainwashed/mangled by his own people. You can see this ESPECIALLY with the ACTUAL ending (as i call) with Mason assumed to be the/a suspect in the death of JFK.
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 watched this just after replaying the game. While I disagree with some of your opinions on particular levels overall I don't think personal preference overshadows how much you nailed the stuff you got right. I think the fact that there are still enough people playing that you can get a lobby is a testament to how strong this game was. Not only was the campaign fantastic but Zombies and Multiplayer really innovated in ways that newer COD games refuse to. They really said to themselves: "Hey what if we did something we thought was cool and made the most badass 1960s experience possible?" Even the levels that you could claim were "derivative" like the mission in the Blackbird - similar to the AC-130 mission from COD4 - were unique and interesting in their own way. Also I haven't seen anyone mention the graphics that you did for the video but I think it's worth mentioning how cool they were and that they really added to the overall fun vibe of the video. Good job man, the view and like count on this video speak for themselves. Wish you great success!
Thank you so much for watching and leaving a long comment! Thank you for noticing my effort, I really appreciate it! Hopefully black ops 6 has the same amount of depth!
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.
@@The_GameShortsJust finished watching. Another great video! So much nostalgia. MW2 and BO1 were the greatest of all time. You just had to be there to experience it. Thanks for the video!
Man, I've always loved this game and it was great getting to experience it again through this awesome video. I couldn't agree more about the excellent voice acting for Mason, as well as the entire cast. I remember first learning about this game and that it had Sam Worthington, Ed Harris, and Ice Cube all voicing major parts. I'm unsure of the actor's name who does Woods but he is incredible as well, obviously. The cerebral story was just so fucking cool and showed that CoD campaigns could be imaginative as hell with the right people working on them. Great video, what a blast!
I really agree with and can relate to The Act Man's take, in that I did not appreciate this game's story until I replayed at an older age and knew a lot more about history and just being able to comprehend what was happening in the game.
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.
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.
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.
This video reminded me why I love BO (and by extension BO2, but only 'cause Menendez is so good a villain) so much. Thanks for bringing my memories back!
>gameshorts >over an hour long video Bro misleading name much? Jk thx for uploading this. Black Ops is so nostalgic and this campaign is truly a work of art and storytelling!
Yeah lol my name doesn't represent the current plan for the channel, but I like the irony of it so I keep it. Thank you for watching and commenting! I really do appreciate it.
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
Thank you very much for the kind words man! Yes I started out with shorts..but quickly found my passion to be longer form videos. I really appreciate you watching and commenting, means a lot!
@@The_GameShorts currently I have a bunch of low effort let’s play style stuff on my channel. I’ve thought about going down 2 routes to add more quality instead of the quantity. Although I could just integrate them in with the lets play content. 1. Those platinum trophy videos, you know where you document the journey to platinum. 2. Doing something similar to you! Video essay/overview video I feel like a game review could also be done similarly. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you go about making this type of video? Did it take a long time script writing or even researching? I’m not trying to copy you! Don’t get it twisted. Just trying to learn.
@@callmemike__1 I've considered 100% videos before as well!. Script writing takes a decent amount of time. I usually write the title of video and create thumbnail, then work on script. While writing script, I do research. Then I record all gameplay, noting any necessary changes needed for script. Then editing. Depending on your level of editing.. this can take a long time. I had no idea how to edit when I started so it still takes me a while. The intro for this video took me a long time, due to adding my own song of choice and having to layer sound fx over it.. total hours on this project probably ... 50-60??.. that's a guess though..
I fuckin miss these days, i was around 10 or 11 at the time of this game coming out. I found out about black ops and cod in general through watching G4 clips that were on comcast’s old ass way of being able to watch G4 clips from the show of them playing BO1. The two clips were of the mission on summit with weaver and wood’s entrance when he gets off a helicopter. Mason shouts “you look like hammered shit” and woods just says “this is nam baby” instantly hooked my ass in. When I finally got the game, it was everything i had hoped it would be. The story was so fuckin cool at the time and still is to me. I was always obsessed with the history of war since a kid, vietnam was one of THOSE ones if that makes sense. The glamorized but still fucked up ones. Anyways, When the jungle mission came up it instantly became my favorite mission. Especially the part where you’re underwater and taking down enemies or when you’re sneaking with woods through a hut full of sleeping soldiers while slicing each one’s throats. This game was fuckin awesome man. I remember going to rivers and lakes with a ton of homies to have airsoft wars bc of this game, my friend group was also obsessed with this game. One homie was so dedicated to the airsoft wars he would be waist deep with gear on hiding and shit. Mf would dolphin dive into the river and stay laid down to shoot. It was great. When I figured out you could get out of the armchair in the main menu just blew my mind. It felt wrong but so cool idk how to explain it. Then pulling up to the fucking computer and typing in cheats was awesome too. Zombies was fuckin cool as well, i had this one homie from nepal that wanted to try the game(again we were around 10-11 years old) i threw on Five, he began to geek tf out and did not want to play cod anymore💀💀💀 The lore was also super cool to me, as a kid it was so fuckin cool watching youtubers figure shit out as it came out. At school we would all be tweaking tf out over the dlc’s and the 1 zombies map that was coming with it. DLC was also fuckin great at the time lmao The dlc that had me in a chokehold was either the one with moon or shangri-la. The theories for those two were good and bad, there was one where shangri-la is on mars, or how the entire internet figuring out the easter egg for moon. For a while ppl only got stuck at the beginning of following a floating silver ball or something like that. Black ops 1 is fuckin great man
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 was 7 years old when I played this game on 2010 and it was my first call of duty. I play this campaign once a year just to have a fun experience and now after I’m done with this video I’m gonna play it again and play zombies with the guys
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
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
@@The_GameShorts honestly cool. I’m from Mojave and often visit Lancaster. However I’ve never been to little rock. But I still think it’s dope to have a nice upcoming CZcamsr live around the same place. Especially mention it 👍.
Hahaha thank you man. I'm just starting out... So this a lot of views for me 😂... I'm just now gonna hit 1k subs so I'm happy with it! Thank you again for watching.
@@The_GameShorts this is great content man plenty of people would love to see it you’re doing so well for someone so new with the editing the narration all of it excellent content man keep it up and you’ll get wayyy bigger props dude I know this took a while one for mw2 would do great aswell you could also branch to other games with great storytelling like red dead one or two or the borderlands franchise it has a plethora of information
@@O5FS I do have a video on the original MW2 if that's what you meant!. Thank you so much man for the kind words! I really appreciate you commenting and showing your support.. yes there is many games I look forward to covering! Any games in specific you'd like to see? My next video is in the works... But after that I can look into something else.
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?
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.

I've considered 100% videos before as well!.
Script writing takes a decent amount of time. I usually write the title of video and create thumbnail, then work on script. While writing script, I do research. Then I record all gameplay, noting any necessary changes needed for script. Then editing. Depending on your level of editing.. this can take a long time. I had no idea how to edit when I started so it still takes me a while. The intro for this video took me a long time, due to adding my own song of choice and having to layer sound fx over it.. total hours on this project probably ... 50-60??.. that's a guess though..
@@The_GameShorts thank you for that insight! I do appreciate it.
Love this video keep up the work
Thank you for the kind words!
Amazing video definitely earned a sub
Thank you man. I truly do appreciate it!
Forever my favorite Call Of Duty title.
I love the memes peppered throughout the video
Great videos man keep going
Appreciate it!
Great video!
Thank you!
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.
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 ?
I was 12 when it came out, best campaign in the series. I was so enthralled I stayed up all night to beat it
This and halo reach was peak gaming for fps
I fuckin miss these days, i was around 10 or 11 at the time of this game coming out. I found out about black ops and cod in general through watching G4 clips that were on comcast’s old ass way of being able to watch G4 clips from the show of them playing BO1. The two clips were of the mission on summit with weaver and wood’s entrance when he gets off a helicopter. Mason shouts “you look like hammered shit” and woods just says “this is nam baby” instantly hooked my ass in. When I finally got the game, it was everything i had hoped it would be. The story was so fuckin cool at the time and still is to me. I was always obsessed with the history of war since a kid, vietnam was one of THOSE ones if that makes sense. The glamorized but still fucked up ones. Anyways, When the jungle mission came up it instantly became my favorite mission. Especially the part where you’re underwater and taking down enemies or when you’re sneaking with woods through a hut full of sleeping soldiers while slicing each one’s throats. This game was fuckin awesome man. I remember going to rivers and lakes with a ton of homies to have airsoft wars bc of this game, my friend group was also obsessed with this game. One homie was so dedicated to the airsoft wars he would be waist deep with gear on hiding and shit. Mf would dolphin dive into the river and stay laid down to shoot. It was great. When I figured out you could get out of the armchair in the main menu just blew my mind. It felt wrong but so cool idk how to explain it. Then pulling up to the fucking computer and typing in cheats was awesome too. Zombies was fuckin cool as well, i had this one homie from nepal that wanted to try the game(again we were around 10-11 years old) i threw on Five, he began to geek tf out and did not want to play cod anymore💀💀💀
The lore was also super cool to me, as a kid it was so fuckin cool watching youtubers figure shit out as it came out. At school we would all be tweaking tf out over the dlc’s and the 1 zombies map that was coming with it. DLC was also fuckin great at the time lmao
The dlc that had me in a chokehold was either the one with moon or shangri-la. The theories for those two were good and bad, there was one where shangri-la is on mars, or how the entire internet figuring out the easter egg for moon. For a while ppl only got stuck at the beginning of following a floating silver ball or something like that. Black ops 1 is fuckin great man
Hell yeah. The memories of when this game was Poppin like that are golden. I remember the first time playing call of the dead and I truly loved it
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
Happy to be number 800 sub.
Appreciate you man! 💯
that vorkuta take is a hot take my favorite mission in the game but was and still is hella iconic and memorable imo. many memorable moments and quotes
Lol you're not the only one who's telling me that. Guess I'm just wrong lol.
@@The_GameShortsnah you're not wrong at all bro.. it's an opinion... Say your thoughts 🤟🏻
amazing video!
Thank you!
That terminator transition was tough
Thank you for watching! I appreciate your support.
in my opinion vorkuta is the most iconic mission in any cod game
Probably goes no Russian then vorkutaw
Finally found a video I can eat my food to💀🙏🏾 great video bro🫡
Thank you man! I really appreciate it. Finding the right video to eat to is crucial.
I was 7 years old when I played this game on 2010 and it was my first call of duty. I play this campaign once a year just to have a fun experience and now after I’m done with this video I’m gonna play it again and play zombies with the guys
Awesome video
Thank you!
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!
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
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
Black Ops 1 ran so Black Ops 2 could sprint.
Lol I feel like one of a select few who prefers BO1 over BO2
Great video!!! I hope the next Treyarch CoD will be a banger like Black Ops. 🙏
Thanks man! Yes me too.
Great video bro. Just wanna ask what part of Cali are you from? I live 20 minutes away from the Edward’s AFB and they regularly do flight shows.
Thanks man, I really appreciate it. I'm from Littlerock California. Near Palmdale and Lancaster.
@@The_GameShorts honestly cool. I’m from Mojave and often visit Lancaster. However I’ve never been to little rock. But I still think it’s dope to have a nice upcoming CZcamsr live around the same place. Especially mention it 👍.
@@yoboyant3973 thank man. I really appreciate it. And thank you for watching! What a small world. I need to go back and visit sometime
Man how does this not have more views????
Hahaha thank you man. I'm just starting out... So this a lot of views for me 😂... I'm just now gonna hit 1k subs so I'm happy with it! Thank you again for watching.
@@The_GameShorts this is great content man plenty of people would love to see it you’re doing so well for someone so new with the editing the narration all of it excellent content man keep it up and you’ll get wayyy bigger props dude I know this took a while one for mw2 would do great aswell you could also branch to other games with great storytelling like red dead one or two or the borderlands franchise it has a plethora of information
@@The_GameShortsjust saw your modern warfare two video will be watching it you’ve gained a loyal subscriber keep putting this content out!
@@O5FS I do have a video on the original MW2 if that's what you meant!. Thank you so much man for the kind words! I really appreciate you commenting and showing your support.. yes there is many games I look forward to covering! Any games in specific you'd like to see? My next video is in the works... But after that I can look into something else.
@@The_GameShorts just saw it and will be watching it aswell!
Goated video
Sounds like spiderman warned Hudsons team about the nova 6 on rebirth Island lol
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
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.
Only legends remember and play this game!
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
