Call of Duty: World at War is Very Frustrating

Video summary

Press to jump

0:10Frogarchist selects Veteran, returning to a difficulty he never finished as a child.
3:10The Eastern Front begins with Reznov and a sniper duel that requires repeated attempts.
5:03Grenades and sparse checkpoints turn "Their Land, Their Blood" into a frustrating stretch.
10:44"Black Cats" offers an airborne respite before the campaign's difficulty rises again.
17:16Repeated deaths prompt a cutaway to Frogarchist reading a children's book in German.
18:50The final mission, "Downfall", brings the campaign to its conclusion.

The grenades keep coming. Frogarchist returns to a game he played as a child, this time attempting the Veteran campaign he never finished, in "Call of Duty: World at War is Very Frustrating".

The title proves fairly literal. The sniper duel alongside Reznov brings repeated deaths, while "Their Land, Their Blood" turns checkpoint placement into a personal grievance. Later, the push to destroy the Flak 88 guns in "Heart of the Reich" gets so aggravating that he interrupts proceedings to read a Mercer Mayer children's book in German. It is an unusually scholarly way to take a breather.

That was the most watched of his two uploads, reaching roughly 283,000 views. Viewers are trading grenade jokes, remembering the older campaigns' different fronts and singling out the soundtrack to "Black Cats". The airborne mission also gives Frogarchist a relatively peaceful stretch before the bunker assaults resume.

His other upload, "Halo CE Legendary Speedrun Attempts (FUN!!!!)", returns to another familiar form of self-imposed difficulty, this time as a speedrunning stream. It drew a much smaller audience than the edited World at War outing.

Across the channel, daily views are close to their usual level, and the week added a thousand subscribers. Weekly viewing sits in similar territory to Poppt1 and ZaneGames; Xtr3m3z is having a substantially larger week.

World at War also has the strongest daily momentum in Frogarchist's catalogue. Behind it, the LEGO Jurassic World completion challenge continues to draw viewers, followed by his Mass Effect 2 experiment on Insanity: no gunfire, just powers, melee and whatever ingenuity a frog can muster.

I miss old cod so much. COD 1 jumping into different fronts such as the British, Russians and Americans was always cool!
