One the greatest plot twist endings in a video game. Black Ops had one of the greatest campaigns in COD.

The JFK stuff at the end implies that Mason killed Kenedy because he was there at the parade in Dallas where Kenedy was killed.

I love how this game gives you SO MANY hints that you notice much more on a second playthrough. In Hue City, the room where you "find" Reznov again, you can see the actual defector lying dead against the table where you pick up the documents, and when Reznov speaks the projector in the background switches from images of Vietnam to images of Vorkuta. Literally none of the other characters speak back to Reznov any time he talks, and during any of the underwater sequences you can see bubbles coming from Woods, but not from Reznov. A final hint, one that probably very few people have noticed, is actually Reznov's pointer finger on his right hand. In World at War, he loses the tip of it before meeting Dimitri in Stalingrad, hence why he needs Dimitri to use the sniper rifle. Throughout the rest of World at War, his right pointer finger is noticeably shorter, and Reznov fires his submachine gun using his *middle* finger. Pay close attention to his model in Vorkuta and in the flashback to after WW2, and this is the same. But all the times Mason is imagining him, Reznov seems to have a default hand model, using the pointer finger to shoot just like everyone else does. It's not an oversight; it's yet another tiny little nod to the fact that Resnov isn't actually there.

THE NUMBERS MASON! What do they mean? What do they tell you? GOD I LOVE that quote. This is one of the best plot twists in any game. No cod before or after has managed to surpass it. It makes Dragovich end all the more fulfilling. Also Reznov was not bad, he just made you his back up plan by essentially giving you his purpose. He wasn't a bad person, he was just hurt and he wanted to avenge his friend and also help his other friend.

Sam Worthington (Alex Mason) & Ed Harris (Jason Hudson) reunited again in Man on a Ledge the movie.

35:55 The "Oswald compromised" line was a clever line, Oswald was the shooter of JFK but the CIA said there were two hitmen at that time, since Oswald is compromised Mason might be the one who actually shot JFK.

Reznov...good old tricky Vik...

Black ops 2 is gonna blow your mind can't wait to see your reaction!

Viktor was always dead, from the beginning of your escape. Freedom was for you, never him. That plot twist, blew my effin' mind when I first saw it. XD

This never gets addressed again so I’m just gonna let you know. The ending alludes to Mason being involved in Kennedy’s Assassination. If you look at the mission dates for Rebirth they take place after Kennedy was assassinated. Hudson tells Mason that there gaps in his memory, periods of time where they couldn’t account for him. Plus that mission where he is in the Pentagon after Vorkuta where he hallucinates pulling a gun on Kennedy. I always interpreted it as Mason fighting the programming that Dragovich gave to him.

The twist that got everyone. Fun fact, apparently after Vorkuta, the 1st letters of all the mission names spell out "Reznov is dead". Don't actually know how true that is. Can't wait to see you play Black Ops 2 Jonesy! Just remember: Have fun!

This game and World at War is forever imprinted in my brain. Ever since I was a child. Thanks for experiencing it as well. It was a good journey.

27:24. Natasha . Another awesome music moment 😂 . The spin around in the water was great 👏

Now, Black Ops 2.

If you tap the triggers on the main menu, it allows you to walk around the computer room, freely. There's a terminal you can access that then allows you to see what possibly happened to Resnov. They're not spoilers for BO2,.

Full geezer mode the whole way through. Best story in this franchise imo, sad it’s over but congrats

Loved your playthrough, this story is phenomenal! And it is heavily implied with Mason being MIA for a few years as Hudson said, Mason saying ”Oswald compromised”, Dragovich saying ”tried? (to make Mason kill the president)” and the ending clip that Mason was involved in the assassination of Kennedy.

The numbers don't mean anything in real life, but they are translatable in the game. It's rather complex but the cipher starts by assigning every letter a number value (A=0, B=1, C=2... Z=25). Each number sequence begins with a word and then a number and then the number sequence (Echelon 5 [number sequence]). The number next to the word (in this case, 5) corresponds with a page from the book "Profiles in Courage" written by John F. Kennedy in 1955 and the word corresponds to information being provided (in this case, Echelon) or a command being given (Ascension). The number sequence (in this case, 21 0 8 18 15 14 7 21 16 23 9 14 23 0 6 18 4) is subtracted by the number value of the letters in the sentence from the book (himself, he is also obligated to consider...) to get a new letter (21 - 7 [H] = 14 [O]). Doing this for every letter in the sentence from the book gives you the new message: OSWALD COMPROMISED; Lee Harvey Oswald was the man charged with the assassination of JFK but there were rumors that there were more than one gunman and this cipher seems to be the Russians informing Mason that Oswald - his accomplice - was compromised and that it would be up to him to kill Kennedy. Like I said, this is all very complex, but I do encourage looking in to it if the headaches and confusion don't bother you. There's also a lot of these sequences in the game, not just this one.

So theres been theories that there where more than one gunmen at the JFK assassination, and the ending basically plays on that theory, personally not knowing if Mason was or wasnt the one to kill the president still sits in my mind till this day

Amazing episode, Jonesy. I wished somebody loved me as much as you love Resnov 😂. It was hard to notice how Resnov would appear out of nowhere and nobody else would talk to him. This was a very unique COD game. Well done. Cheers ❤

Yep in the Black Ops universe, it’s pretty much implied that Mason was the second shooter in the JFK assassination

Another great game in the series. Really good story in this one. Had a fantastic time once again watching your playthrough.

“It’s Just The Storm D&$& Sit Down” love Kennedy in zombies

You’re so lucky you didn’t die in that hazma suit thing to nova gas and I didn’t even know there was a achievement for it which you got. If it breaks, Hudson does a choking death

The soundtrack 20 mins. is was nice. I was loving it.

Great episode, incredible series! Well done you. I confess I did guess the twist but it was really fun to go on this ride with you. Congrats and I'm glad it's been going so well on here 👏 here's to the next one! Have a crackin' day boss.

The numbers do mean something. It is some cryptographic code that the developers used to translate a message. There is an old video on KZfaq that you can watch where someone breaks down the hidden message in the numbers

It was an amazing video, always great with that big twist with Reznov and the numbers too. An amazing video And then it finished and I could hear the numbers afterwards 😰 oh no 🤣

I'm excited for BO2 you're gonna love it Jonesy

I'm enjoying this journey with you, Jonesy! 😊I've already seen BO story but it was worth to see your reaction. I'm looking forward to BO2 cause it'll be first timer for me too! 😁

Have loved watching your black ops playthrough this is such a great game.

That was awesome jonesy

another great playthrough! with all these numbers in my head, I might as well play the lottery!👏👏👏 hopefully the CIA will not read my comment, but if Oswald was the patsy and Mason was the second shooter, who was the third? the Comedian from Watchmen? now the "triangulation of crossfire theory" makes sense...and speaking of Oswald, who played Lee Harvey Oswald in Oliver Stone's JFK? GARY OLDMAAAAAAN!

Can’t wait for bo2 and bo3 there both good

Hi Gen. Jonesy! 👋 HOORAH!! 🫡 5:50 *Gary* is G *Oldman* spot on! 😅 30:00 - 43:36 Absolutely loved your reactions as the plot twist was revealed. I could see just how taken aback and mind-blown you were as the truth washed over you! Chair shifting to look around corners - this is when you know you are totally immersed in the game! 😂 53:05 I guess you could say he didn't *kneed* that! 🤭 Thank you for the awesome upload, Gen. Jonesy! Take care, sleep well, and I'll see you at the start of your Black Ops 2 journey! 🫡😊

Another amazing playthrough Jonesy ❤❤😀😀.

If there is one more incident of friendly fire from you, you are on kitchen patrol for a month

Your commentary 18 mins. in and onwards was so cute and adorable 😃

I can't wait for you to play Black ops 2, it'll be fun to watch your reaction and is the most popular COD.👍

sorry about this long comment but I literally cant wait for you to play black ops 2, you'll absolutely love it! This game is insanely nostalgic, treyarch games are just the best, you will probably like black ops 2 even more!! The JFK at the end was just telling you that mason was at the JFK assassination, it doesn't say if he was there to kill him or if he was there to stop other sleeper agents from killing him, it's never revealed, the numbers in masons case were the time and place of the JFK assassination as well as the ammo type he should use but it can be any information needed to follow out whatever they wanted to progam into the minds of agents :) btw black ops 3's campaign wasn't the best, it was a very experimental thing they tried and it didnt work very well (good thing that games mp and zombies are the best of the franchise lmao) and bo4 had no campaign , however, black ops cold war (2020)'s campaign is set in between black ops 1 and 2 and was really great besides for the voice actors being different so the characters seemed a little off, but this years cod will be a black ops game as well so you're playing these at a great time!

16:59. Alright "Rihanna 😂 . This tank is on fiiire! I quite enjoyed that 😊👌

l think you done great playing this game .. and how the story comig togther and you will be so happy after you come to the end of the game

Also, I didn't mention this before, but the numbers announcer is Emmanuelle chriquie. She makes a little cameo in the end.

Evening jonesy look forward to part 2 when you get time ❤️🙏🌻🐝🌻🐝

I miss so much jonesy and thé last épisode of black ops thank u so much 4 play my favorite cod 💚🫂🥹love u

My name..is Viktor...Reznov! And I will... subscribe to this channel!

I want to believe Reznov escaped Vorkuta somehow

Hey Jonesy, thank you for the sunday afternoon upload.. I hope you have a good day

Awesome video

i wish you would have played the zombie monde at the end... i alsmot forgot that it was this game who put it back on tracks, now some players even call it "COD zombie" because it's such a thing of it's own

Tap the triggers in the main menu ;)

NICE. One of the best plot twists in gaming. Next up, Black Ops 2, my favorite CoD campaign. 🤘🤘Also, word of warning, Black Ops 2 has multiple endings, so depending on how you play, you may get a happy ending or you might get the shittiest ending imaginable. Also after you’re done with the next game, you should watch the rest of the endings on KZfaq. Keep it up 🤘

Glad you enjoyed it

Best Call of duty campaign! Also the footage at 1:06:17 was the assassination of JFK and ties it to mason as it zooms in on him… 1:04:07 at the end notice how at Dragovich says “Tried?” Right at the end was just to do with the zombies game mode don’t worry about that. Loved the playthrough RIP Reznov ❤️

Great Job Beating the game mate🤗😊❤❤❤❤👍 lets hope Black Ops 2 doesnt have Enemies with God mode on 😅😄if only we could've seen you play a bit of Zombies lol anyways Ill be seeing you in Black Ops 2 mate🇺🇸❤🇬🇧

Aye you surpassed Vietnam and the cold war!! good job Jonesy!!. After mw3 and black ops 1 the campaigns get fuzzy for me. The newer ones are kinda milked.

That twist actually got me! But I loved it. This series was really fun! The gameplay is great and having a great story is a bonus. I am happy we experienced it together!

Was Reznov really there in World At War, or was it all in your character’s head as well? 😳 But seriously: As far as storied campaign goes, Black Ops One is my favorite. And when you can name drop “Jacob’s Ladder”, promote XBOX, and sing Rolling Stone songs- you have the best videos ever. 👍

Would've loved to see your gameplay of zombies on Five

Oh, so good, bo1 my favorite cod... And Mason, my favorite character. In my opinion he's the strongest, and most resilient of them all, in every cod ... Al the stuff he has gone through and still manages to kick ass like nobody else

Now I'm looking to bo2 now hope you make the right choices

Luv the COD Black OPS series! These are back before COD became a Fortnite Clone!😅Did you play the Zombies mode Jonesy?🎉

yay! what a perfect video for sunday afternoon! awesome job as always Jonesy ❤ i hope you’ll enjoy BO2 even more

Fair fucks you’ve got really good at these games, if not better than my old healthy self, faster even! It’s been great to watch you through these. Rest in peace tricky vik.

Congratulations on beating the game. You did great. I highly recommend playing black ops II. In my opinion, it has the best plot and twist in all COD franchises cause based on your decisions throughout the game, you can get different mind-blowing endings.

You gotta try a game of zombies !!

Best COD ending! Glad to see ya experiencing it! 🙌

cant wait for bo2 i loved watching you play Waw and bo1, just keep in mind there are many endings for bo2 and i highly suggest after playing and finishing bo2 you watch & react to a video on all the endings showing all possible outcomes. imo bo2 is so good specifically because of all the possible endings.

You played World At War at the end of the story, Zombies begins with dlc that leads to a different story for the black ops line, so there is the campaign, and then the Zombies storyline, then at the end of Black Ops the continuation Zombies begins then goes to bo2, bo3, and bo4 has a new Zombies story mixed with the old story then Cold War is the new Zombies story that goes into MW3 reboot Vanguard has a whole different Zombies story

When I see you playing COD, my favorite video game, it reminds me of when I was eagerly sitting and wanting to catch up on all the details

Loved this I can’t wait till BO2 now hahaha

Well now on to Black ops 2 and for me is the best ever cod campaign of all time let’s go 🎉

Hey Jonesy you loving the Call of Duty Black Ops 1, are you gonna play Call of Duty Black Ops 2 next?! To continue more of the current story of Mason, I'm not gonna be a spolied but let you play the campaign where you left off as Mason?

1:05:26 . Yo Joe! You're an American hero gurl 😃 . Wooohooo! This was fk'n badass! I really enjoyed this episode and playthrough. Have an awesome day "Jonesy 💐🎉🙌

Oh, the Numbers Stations were very real, but AFAIK were mostly retired with advent of affordable global communication.

I don't know if this is a spoiler but there are multiple endings in BO2 you have to do certain things to get the good ending

Best black ops game!

THE NUMBERS JONESY!! Now you know what they mean!

Let's goooo I am so excited to watch this finally get to get your mind blown ,the numbers mason. What do they mean!?

What a great playthrough. Hands down my favorite story in the CoD franchise as a whole. I know I said you could choose to play BO2 or BO: Cold War next, but don't listen to me. Play BO2 next, then Cold War as playing Cold War next will spoil a few things. But glad you enjoyed this game still.

After you are finished playing either Black Ops 1 or Black Ops 2. you really should try Halo. It is an excellent series with a fantastic story. Especially the original games. Definitely consider giving Halo a go when you get some free time.

It was such a great playthrough love 🤓😎❤

Yes, congrats! I loved your playthrough! I can't wait for BO2.

Any plans on Rebirth....ing?

Did you prefer this or world at war?

rebirth best treyarch cod campaign mission ? I think so

BUM BUM BUUUUM!

Such a great story. Black Ops 2 is good as well, but it's not as good as this one, IMO. Thanks for the playthrough, Jonesy. Have a crackin day.

i was not expecting that zombie ending that's some good shit right there XD

It's another Sunday with you Jonesy and it's the final part of Call of Duty: Black Ops it's been a great time and I can't wait to see what is next have a great week Jonesy.🇬🇧🐶🐱🇬🇧

oooooo im waiting for call of duty cold war

You rock Jonsey

Привет 👋👋

30:20 didn’t see this coming did you?

Nice video, but the real question is… THE NUMBERS, WHAT DO THEY MEAN!?

Fun fact : The Story felt so real that on reedit everyone thought that Nova 6 is real :))

For Black ops 2 there is a canon ending and I have to specify it to you before you play it. Tell me and I'll do it.

Reznov is still alive in black ops

17:30 This is one of my favourite parts of Rebirth; something I don't see enough of is a good CBRN firefight, that this does a good job of demonstrating the importance of suit integrity in a hazardous environment. The Nova-6 creating a smokescreen, making enemy detection tricky and rely on Infrared vision is clever, and the worry comes from not getting hit too many times, or your gas mask gets breached and you die a horrible death. I also love that the mask damage is permanent; a nice bit of tension each time you get shot. That and the track playing during the section "Mask Walk" is a banger of a track that makes fighting so cool. P.S: That JFK thing with the Zombies, that's just the game throwing you into the game's Zombies horde survival game mode, which is a mode that World at War introduced with its Nazi Zombies mode. It is its own thing detached from the campaigns, but It's a fun mini-game, you should get a friend to stream it. I'd watch it.

Call Of Duty Black Ops Gulf War is coming. Are you excited for it?
