I don't care what you say Black ops 1 deserves a remaster, I wanna experience that in 4k

This is what the history books don’t teach you

"Tried"
Mason killed JFK.
They took it out of  the game for controversial reasons, but thats what happened lore wise, and they nod at it with that response by dragovich.

15:30 Jesus Christ, how much freedom do they want in one scene!?

That ending shot with Mason being there the day Kennedy died still honestly sends chill down my spine. best COD campaign next to MW2 imo

Passing this campaign on veteran And reaching that surface queuing cutscene* was truly a special feeling

As a kid I never realized that they were implying that Alex mason was the one that killed JFK

When I first saw the ending, I thought, "oh creepy, Mason killed JFK." But at the time, I thought the assassination happened after all the events of the game, which makes it a bit of a downer ending after that great victory against the Nova 6 project.
Then after learning more about the dates and historical events of the game, I realized that JFK was assassinated midway through the game's story (he died before the Vietnam War really took off). That makes Hudson's line ("there are gaps in your memory. Times when you went MIA and we couldn't account for you.") even more ominous because in the game's second half, your allies have no idea that they're fighting alongside JFK's killer

14:07  Mason:"You even tried to make me kill my own president!"
           Dragovich:"Tried?" Oh boy I can't wait for the Cold War..

I love how the developers did their research on cold war conspiracy theories it made for one heck of a storyline

14:53 Mason and Hudson: Swims a solid 200 meters to the surface without stopping
The Bends: Am I a joke to you?

Weaver: Mason, It's over we won
Mason: For now

14:28 Finally Mason stopping the broadcast, kill Dragovich, and stopping his plan to released Corona Virus

His presence, and Dragovich's taunt, "Tried?", before his death, suggest that Mason may have carried out his initial programming.

4:37 Damn Hudson hit the heli pad real hard.

17:16 always gives me chills

That ending scene breaks my heart. I remember playing BO2, during the opening for the invasion of Panama mission when you're playing as Frank. They all get together at McKnight's house on base. McKnight makes the comment that he read Mason's file and asks him if "all that shit with the numbers" was really true. And Mason gave some blow-it-off type answer about how the Russians "tried", as though he was sort of being funny about it; "yeah, they tried, but it didn't work" type shit. He had no idea. No clue. Imagine for a moment, being him; you spend the rest of your days not knowing that you were responsible for the most heinous and controversial assassination in modern American history... and you didn't even know. This scene where they show him in Dallas, the way he just brutally murders Dragovich after he he says "...tried?", and of course, Kravchencko's Afghanistan interrogation. I wonder if Mason ever figured it out. Maybe he DID know... and he didn't want to ever admit it to himself because Hudson already told him that Resnov sabotaged the brainwashing before he could carry out the assassination. Idk man this game has got me thinkin' way too hard 😂 Still, Mason is a tragic af character

Imagine having to hold your breath for that swim back up to the surface.
