The Story of Call of Duty: Black Ops [1945 - 2025]

Something that slipped through the edit, I mention that the Soviet Union fell in 1996, when it actually collapsed in 1991… (typo in script). Read a few comments and I WILL be doing a video on the Modern Warfare Reboot, and MAYBE Zombies (but that will be coming in the future). But I’m having a week off after the two mammoth projects, Gears of War and this video!

The part where Hudson puts his glasses on after finding out where the numbers station is will always be 10/10 ICONIC.

Personally for me call of duty black opts 1 and 2 storylines were freaking fantastic in my opinion and the best campaign within all the cod games in my opinion.

I love that you went into the history of Vietnam and how it relates to the events in the game instead of just explaining the game's story, and the execution was engaging.

I don’t care what anyone says, the concert for the after credits for BO2 is peak 2012 and I will accept no slander towards it.

Hudson “Where?” Mason “Cuba” Hudson(puts on sunglasses and cues epic music)

And now it seems that we're probably going to get a sequel to Black Ops 2 in 2025.

Rip my boy Swift, I spent an hour restarting checkpoints as a kid trying to save him until I realized it was scripted. Black Ops 1 had the most interesting, convoluted campaign out of every single Call of Duty iteration. Hudson is cool, Mason is a badass, and Woods? Well he’s an onion

WaW, Blops. and Blops 2, are my favorite of the the series, the story is dark, shrouded in mystery, and mind games while not trying to be TOO complicated.

World at war has always been on another level to me. Every Black Ops/ Zombies fan gotta give credit to it cause that's where it started and it deserves way more love than people sometimes give it.

Literally just watched a story recap last night because I had never finished the games, literally thought while I was searching "I hope Harry has a video". This is way better than any of the others I could find.

2 CIA guys arguing with sunglasses inside is wild

Uh-oh, now he's got to do the call of duty zombies timeline lol

Black Ops 1 remains the peak of the entire COD series for me. I would LOVE a shiny new remake in the current engine!

Another one? So soon after Gears of Lore??? Harry, you have blessed us ☺ Also, that scene in Cold War where Reagan walks into the meeting about Perseus had some great attention to detail. Notice how Adler was quick to put out his cigarette as well as there being a jar of jelly beans on the table in front of Reagan. This is because he was quitting smoking at the time.

i dont know how you magically manage to upload videos when im having phases of the game at hand. like im back in my COD phase and then this vid comes out. are you a psychic LMAOO

Its kinda sad that in bo2 2025, technology is so much more advanced while its 2024 now and nothing has really changed since they made this game in 2012.

I never bothered to watch any campaigns that came out after IW, so I didn’t know that Cold War was directly related to the OG Black Ops story, glad this video covered such a cool campaign!

I always think about the same thing when going over the black ops 1 story line. Its that mason is crazy but also a one man army badass. The guy basically escapes out of russia by him self after vorkuta. Fights through multiple vietcong divisons throughout Vietnam itself. Also the most impressive feat of fighting/sneaking through rebirth island by himself to make it to steiner. Yes mason has gone crazy this point and thinks reznov is with him but he still by himself did all these things. Mason is crazy but also just a straight up super solider and I think its something everyone shoulder consider when thinking about the Call of Duty Series. In my opinion the only others who are even semi on the same level are soap and price. I always love videos about the early treyarch series because they usually harp on this fact like this one does.

The Black ops franchise are my absolute favorite Call of duty games. 1,2,3, and cold war was fantastic
