World At War made Reznov a hero.

Black Ops made him a legend.

“For you Mason, not for me”
One simple sentence that broke the hearts of many players :(

Remember when Black Ops was about epic campaign like this?

The fact that everyone that served right along reznov was willing to lay their life down for him is just fucking beautiful😭

Girls in detention: OMG get me out of here! This is so boring!
Boys in detention:

Can we appreciate the fact Sergei was able to lift two guards into the air, push that cart nearly on on his own, then broke down and bent a steel security door. They would not have escaped with out that beast of a man.

Step 1: Secure the keys
Step 2: Ascend from darkness
Step 3: Rain fire
Step 4: Unleash the horde
Step 5: Skewer the winged beast
Step 6: Wield a fist of iron
Step 7: Raise hell
Step 8: Freedom

Watching Sergei run a pickaxe up a guard's spine was my introduction to "mature" violence. To this day it gives me shivers, how brutal it is.

God, the way the music blends in with the crowd saying the step, it just says that this isn't just a prison riot, this was a full on rebellion.

2:03 'Reznov can we trust this american?"
Reznov turns black and his hair glows
"WITH MY LIFE"

"We are all soldiers, without an army...betrayed...forgotten...abandoned..."

2:03 I love that Resnov clearly considers Mason a friend. Remember his last words in the game when you are swimming to the surface? I like to think he programmed that in to play in his head after Mason’s task was complete, and show that they were legitimate friends even after Mason’s programmed purpose ended

2:52 “Victory cannot be achieved without sacrifice Mason! We Russians know this better than anyone!” Every line Gary Oldman delivers is perfect, but that’s still probably my    favorite!

~Bee enters room~
Girls : AHHH
Boys: Skewer the winged beast.

In A Loving Memory Of Viktor Reznov

      1913-1963

I remember playing this mission and it was bone chilling. Such an unbelievably good game. Nothing like the garbage COD produces now.

They did all of that for one man to escape. Legendary

Sergei was the most badass dude i have ever seen in cod hostory.. gave me chills when he killed the enemy with the pickaxe..

"Viktor Reznov?"

"...my friend."
Chills

Girls when they introduce a friend: “Hey everyone I’d like you to meet my friend!!”

Guys when they introduce a friend: 2:03

Imagine fighting alongside this guy in World At War and seeing him return for the first time in the BO1 story. I was ecstatic…
