Call of Duty World at War OST - 'Heart of the Reich'

Enjoys

[aristeofonseca]

A true warrior has pressed "G" to throw back grenades 5 times in a row while prone and survived

[JWP-]

Fun fact: all German grenades in 1945 were given to the SS honor guard with the stamp “use on veteran” printed on them

[The__Interloper]

World At War was a masterpiece not for its graphics, not for its guns, the way it fucking showed war. brutal, not a fun adventure, horrible. and its one of the only games i know to show the Marines in Japan.

[bananaboy]

They flooded their own city with grenades, in an effort to kill you Dimitri, and once again, they succeeded.

[thedawsonator]

Veteran, apparently the Nazis had plenty of Grenades in 1945 and wanted to make Dimitri's life especially helllish.

[mpcrauzer]

Back when multiplayer was only a side gameplay

[Foxtrox]

They flooded their own metro, in an effort to kill us Dimitri, but once again, they failed.

[Sebastianguitar]

The most brutal CoD, where no matter the faction, you always felt vulnerable and never felt like a hero.

[Ryenalds]

The most brutal game from call of duty. And that's why it was good.

Non WAW players remembered this as the COD Zombie theme
but WAW Veteran players remembered this as the Grenade theme

[borgheis]

"If you lack the stomach to kill for your country, at least show me that you are willing to die for it!"

[acferz]

I just love how intense this OST is. It's like they turned sheer hatred into music.

[theghostofspookwagen]

This game taught me that in April 1945, all that was left to protect the Third Reich was about 45, 000 Demomen in SS uniforms.

[EchoBoomer]

COD4 and WAW Difficulty Levels
Regular: A little bit of grenades.
Recruit: A lot of grenades.
Hardened: Shit ton of grenades.
Veteran: Grenades rain from the sky.

“You see that Russian dude over there?”
“Yes commander”
“Take this grenade crate and throw every single grenade at him”
“May I ask why sir?”
“Cause screw him that’s why trooper”

[doomlasagna]

They really need to remaster this game

[__chevytrucks__]

The true meaning of veteran lies here.
The enemy is trained to the absolute intent of ending your life, to start over and over again and again.
You will fall like the man before you, and the one before him, and the one before him.
You will not survive.

Fun facts of the actual battle for the Reichstag: The Soviets wanted it because it was the parliament building of Germany. The Germans wanted to defend it because it stood between the Soviets and the Reichs Chancellory and Hitlers Bunker. The Germans completely bricked it up so the Soviets couldn’t get in and the Germans defended it from the inside and outside.

The Soviets bombarded it with artillery before their first attack, but it did very little damage. The Soviets then made their first attack, which failed as it was held off by the defenses (including two 88mm flank guns in front of the Reichstag, and four 128mm guns 2km away).

The Soviets second attack broke through the outer defenses and their artillery broke a hole through the building allowing them to flood in.

The building was defended by about 550 Germans, those troops being the Kreigsmarine (Navy Soldiers), Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger (Elite Airforce Paratroopers), Volkssturm (civilian soldiers) and as said in the mission, Hitlers personal Waffen SS Honor guard, that unit being the “1st SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler” (Known as the LSSAH), absolute fanatics. The battle was room by room, floor by floor, which started on April 30th and didn’t end with complete control by the Soviets until May 2nd.

A couple hundred Germans died in the battle, couple hundred surrendered/were wounded, and part of the Waffen SS Leibstandarte escaped the building to go on and fight another day.

The Soviets employed their new super secret weapon without anyone knowing. Dimitri the Grenade Magnet, known to cut down friendly losses from grenade shrapnel by about 90% thanks to this marvelous feat of Soviet engineering.

[VikingrJesus]

Nothing says "WWII German defences" better than an 88mm Flak cannon.
