one of the best menus in gaming history.

We’ll probably never see a main menu that’s this immersive and incredibly creative in any Call of Duty, maybe even any game in general, ever again. I’m so glad I was able to experience this in my life with friends, it was truly a special memory to have.

Don’t get me wrong I love black ops 2, but black ops 1 was by far supreme, best cod story imo

The atmosphere in this game is just so grungy, dirty, and hostile, and I love it.

“You killed him mason, you did. No one else, just you.” Chills

You didn't know you were making memories, you just knew you were having fun.

6:57 hudson's first words in call of duty history that made him a legend today rest in peace hudson :'

This is by far the *BEST* Video Game menu of all time. The amount of creativity put Into the simple feature of selecting your game mode, and going so far as to let you WALK AROUND, is amazing.

The tv screens scare the hell out of me and I don’t know why..

Black Ops 1 has always been my favorite menu for a Call of Duty game. Just so much you can do in just one menu, and the fact you can get out of the chair was jaw dropping to little me back then

6:57 literally foreshadows the whole fucking game

hearing this ambience while watching these clips on the TV Screens gave me goosebumps. That makes me realize how close we were to total nuclear war... still gives me goosebumps

3:39 redit meme was born

The reason i was scared of this game as a kid

one of the most immersive main menus in a game I've ever seen

Nostalgia & great music. I suddenly just wanted to hear this soundtrack again.

one thing interesting that happens on the pc version is if you minimize the game, the music will continue to play but none of Hudson's voice lines or the sounds the computers make wont play which sounds pretty cool

Ugh, black ops. The first ever call of duty game i played ❤️. Sad, I can still remember playing five like it was yesterday.

The sounds of my childhood, luteral chills

I was like 10 years old, I was with my brother, a cousin borrow us the brand new COD black ops, once we put it in our 360, we saw this menu and we were like: this can't be real, i'm moving my face while using a menu, the tv's shows real footage, I'm tied to a chair, what is going on?. A great experience.

“You killed him, Mason, you did. No one else, just you…” I still remember that line to this day. I heard it all the time. After I finished the campaign I realized who it was talking about. It gave so much more weight to that line and this whole menu. Just absolutely crazy good game. One of a kind.

Getting of the chair, putting in codes on the computer, and the easter egg truly an amazing main menu

We passed from this to a Hulu looking menu :v

The footage of the past along with the ambience gives you the actual Cold War vibes

i was looking for this in a while I got distracted very easily and let this video at the corner of my screen somehow make me concentrating more My only problem is you didn't upload in 4k, to bypass yt compression and made me feel more immersed Anyway, i watch this video everyday, so thanks

This game was ahead of it’s time

The reason why Black Ops 1 was one of the best stories in a whole video game industry is because it straight up captures the events of real world adding some "covert up operations" that straight up could have happened. 1. VIETNAM - Soldiers' animosity towards CIA agents (Hudson...) was a real thing. The brutality and gore made sense, because it was a very brutal war (guerilla war was brutal) 2. Kravchenko killing his own men - true ww2 fact. Stalin ordered death of a lot Russian Soldiers who made it to Berlin, because they saw the standard of living in Germany 3. Sleeper agents - most of the CIA documents of MKUltra has been burnt. Which means - all this could have happened. 4. Fiedel Castro has survived over 600 attacks on his life. Getting out of the one in game alive is just one of the ways it happened. 5. Vorkuta - such brutal places where war prisoners were forced to work really existed 6. Cold-War - yeah... Russians were supporting North Vietnam. Russian and American soldiers were killing each other on the lands that did not belong to them. 7. John Fitzgerald Kennedy - and the ttheory of the second shooter - you know exactly what was seen on the last clip after finishing the game. 8. Covert up Operations in Russia - not sure, but totally could have happened (Cold War) And of course... the way the game led the story. At the beginning we have no idea, but instead of weakly exposing the story meaning it wanted players to think. To have these moments when from "The hell am I doing in Cuba?" to "I begin to understand why Woods doesn't say anything about Reznov". The game shows different perspectives and show how one singl event can lead to completely difficult to understand scenario, which can lead to fatal endgame. It doesn't explain the story. It shows the events. And it wants you to gather all the pieces together. Goddamn masterpiece. As I write it I believe even more that this right there is the best story ANY media has ever portrayed.

I was AWED when I launched the game first time and was able to look around in the goddamn menu and then finally found out you can actually exit the chair

I love the ambience, I hum that droney *MMMMMMMMMMMM* to myself a lot.

“We wanted Steiner *_alive!_* Why did you have to kill him!?” “Because the numbers were telling me to! What don’t you fucking understand!?”

Just here for the nostalgia. Cold War season 6 starts today and it gave me chills!

Best Menu Ever

"Back then you couldn't trust anyone, sometimes even yourself." -Mason

When I was about 7, I used to think the guy looking through the glass was a zombie because I always played the zombie mode

Who needs anime or lufi musics for studying, this is more than enough for me..

This game was bursting with personality snd character, everything just clicks together so well

Damn bro I love this music so much it's in my Spotify playlist and I wear headphones to school while I listen to this good music

The fact that i put this one and went to sleep with it on. Something about that harrowing tone with the computers and the iv machines along with Hudson occasionally talking. Ive always thought this main menu was so calming.

If they remastered any cod I'd like to have this one and mw 2 (with multiplayer) and black ops 2.

Thank you for posting this. :)

Perfect i was looking for this. Thanks!

treyarch be like: this is the best main menu ever... drop it.

The best menu in game history black ops 1

Ngl everytime i wake for school everyday this is what i feel like

Nostalgia

this menu goes so hard

Best main menu screen out there. Don’t even think about trying to correct me or I’ll……correct you.

I always liked to see real footage playing in the background on cod games . Waw and bo1. I think cod 4 would had a great one during the Iraq war just how its campaign was based on but they didn’t

>the feeling when you read on Kennedy's paranoria on isreal's nuclear systems and being assassinated months later after it

Treyarch from 2008-2012 was 🔥🔥😤

Has anyone found the footage they use on the TVs

Cold War had a creepiness to it.

I got to say this theme is still creeping me out

THE NUMBERS MASON, WHAT DO THEY MEAN?₁₁₄₅₁₄　114514 　　　　₁₁₄₅₁₄　 ₁₁₄₅₁ 　₁₁₄₅₁₄　11451 114514　　　₁₁₄₅₁₄　114514 　　　　₁₁₄₅₁₄　 　₁₁₄₅₁₄　1

school be like:

I wish there was a way to hear the ambience without the machines, and Hudson talking

Separation anxiety in humans goes from super Nintendo to dead kids and wife and includes all things of interest - Willy 0

This is art. Not some algorithmic & retention-maxed bullshit COD does today. This falloff is why I just don’t buy these games anymore man. A shame.

I GOT TH DEMO ON MY XBOX 360 BUT I LOVE HOW MASON IS SITING IN THE CHAER AND THE MAN IN THE WENDO

Poor kids nowadays will never understand what a true quality game that was made with patience and love is. Now, just publishers forcing devs to create new games in increments of 1 year to satisfy shareholders instead of the consumer. And it will never slow down or go back to what it was because the gaming market makes tons of money and people are ok with accepting this low quality bs. This goes for other games/genres other than COD

COD will never be this great again.

Fun fact if you pres zombie mode that guy in the room who’s speaking to turns into a zombie and attacks the window

The game takes the player to the main menu screen where the protagonist Mason is in.

honestly, it is the 2nd most grittiest campaign after world at war

I remember when I first saw this I was like "whoa this is crazy"

I grew up whith this game 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Stop looking at the left and look at the right for once man 😭

This is where i live when im not in silent hill or in arkham ambience

Man. Cod ain't what it used to be. Black ops 3 feels like the last truly good one in the series. After that, well, we ended up with a reboot.

poor guy is still sat in the chair after 10+ years

STILL -- bEST COD STUDIO AND MAIN MENU TILL THIS DAY !

Me sleeping after work

Awesome thank you.

Any other ambiance like this?

I use this to study.

anyone else listend to this in a dentist chair

Focus Nelson try to remember your mither was inside my room . She doesn't have any clothe

I’m sorry to say this, but Black Ops 1 and 2 were the best out of every other black ops game. After Black Ops 2 the franchise hasn’t been the same in my opinion.
