The First Call of Duty Veteran is HARD

Fun Fact: The beginning of the Russian campaigns in COD1 and WaW are taken pretty much verbatim from the movie Enemy at the Gates.

Takes me back. I remember taking turns playing missions with my dad, uncle, and cousin every Thanksgiving. Every time someone would die we’d pass the mouse to the next guy to see if he can complete it. I’d spend all winter break playing United Offensive multiplayer, where you’d get to man tanks and jeeps and stuff. Man. My dad now has ALS and my parents had to sell my childhood home. Really miss those days when the world seemed so small man.

I love when the instructor says "your weapon will reload automatically" instead of it just being an on-screen hint. It is like the AI was self-aware they are in a game, and they don't even try to be emissive 🤣

“Veteran Difficulty” in the recent COD’s would have been considered normal difficulty in the older COD games.

Entire battalion of German soldiers: "I don't fear easily, but that thing *SOur crawling on the ground with a Bren gun*, that thing scares me..."

I remember getting this game when I got back to Fort Bragg after being deployed to Iraq in 2003. I was a paratrooper in the 82d Airborne Division at the time so I was pretty into it. Good memories.

37:50 Ayyy you actually managed to have Pvt.Elder survive the mission. He loses his essential status half way through the mission and it can get pretty annoying to have him survive, he's a minor character in cod 1 so its nice to see him live

I like that the first person we hear in cod is Steve Blum, he's been the voice for Tank Dempsey, Brimstone and a million other things

I play COD 1 and COD UO all the time... both single player and multiplayer.
The fact that he played the game on VETERAN earned my respect!
What blew my mind, is the fact that he didn't know he could press F5 to manually save the game, AT ANY TIME!!! And he went through all that pain and never gave up!!!
That is some NEXT level sh*t, and that i will never do it my myself.
"The definition of insanity is to to the same thing over and over again and expect things to change"
He took veteran into a whole new level, and that deserves to be called "The Sour Challenge".


Man, if you played COD 1, you need to play COD UO (an expansion released by Activision), you "cannot" play COD 2 without playing the other half of COD 1.
More guns, vehicles, ability to cook grenades/satchel charges, and its campaign matches COD 1's length and quality.
I will be waiting for you to play it (just remember to hit that F5 button to manually save the game😂.

Wow, what a blast from the past. Thanks for this playthrough, S0ur! <3 have a good day

Veteran difficulty in cod 1 is by far the hardest of any cod game specifically because it removes health packs from the levels. So you either need to go through the level only taking 2-3 hits or quick save often, and it really makes the vehicle sections challenging since you can’t really take cover. It’s really fun though

Well sour I've been sick throwing up from food poisoning all day today so thank you for being a bright spot in the day, I love these veteran play throughs, please keep making em

We went from this masterpiece to the absolute pile of shit that is vanguard

Much like the modern Hell Let Loose, the old school CoD's teach you that crawling on your belly for extended periods of time is very good for you. Like tummy rubs from Mother Earth.

Love the fact that Jason Statham did a bit role in this game as the voice narrator for dam briefing.

I was stuck on the Eder Damn Getaway for 2.5 years on PS3. I'd try a couple hours and then get so pissed I had to drop it for a few months lol apparently standing made you get hit less than crouching and that was the only way I ever finished it.

For as old as this game is, the graphics honestly isnt terrible

I highly highly recommend playing the CoD 1 expansion "United Offensive" if you enjoyed this. Its more of the same, but some of my most memorable single player experiences are with the expansion over the regular campaign.

I remember this game when it came out...the fact that you fought with AI by your side was completely unheard off :D

try getting your hands on finest hour if you can in any way man. I would love to watch you play that one
