    9 Cool Things About

    Nuketown in Black Ops

    by Dan on November 13, 2010

    Nuketown has become my favorite

    multiplayer map inCall of Duty: Black

    Ops, partly because of my appreciation

    for 50s nuclear nostalgia, and partly

    because I like tight, small maps. Butwhen I started talking about it with other

    folks and asking internally, I learned a

    lot more than I expected. With the help

    of the community and some info straight

    from Activisions Black Ops ProjectLead, Erik Melen, I came up with nine

    clever details worth noting in Nuketown.

    1. Double Rainbow, All The Way!

    Lets get the obvious one out of the way

    if you havent seen theoriginal

    YouTube video (orthe brilliant

    Autotune remix) of the guy who getsemotional after seeing one (well, two) of

    natures little miracleswell, this is a

    tribute to that. So intense!

    2. And Now A Car From Our

    Sponsors

    And lets get the promotional one out ofthe way: The Jeeps markings (SOG

    logo near drivers door, star on rear

    panel) are the same ones youll find on

    the 2011 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty:

    Black Ops Edition in real life.

    3. Intersection of Oblivion

    According to the street signs, the battle

    tales place at Latchkey and

    Trinity.Trinitywas the name of the very

    first atomic bomb test, while OperationLatchkeywas a series of nuclear tests in

    the late 60s. Its a little funnier if you

    consider that youre not even playing at

    an intersection of two roads its a

    firefight on a dead-end street.

    4. Permanent Residents

    And who lives in Nuketown? Check the

    mailboxes its your old pals Mason(in the teal house) and Woods (in the

    yellow house). If I were you, Id knockfirst.

    5. A Sparkling Census of Humor

    The population counter on the Welcome

    to Nuketown sign changes based on how

    many people are currently on the map

    check the top of this article and youll

    see the small screen at the top shows 12,while this one shows 09. Whats more,

    the sign sparkles, as do a few other

    objects in this level (check the plates of

    fruit on the kitchen table in Woods

    house.)

    6. Time to Go

    Nuketowns clock tower is a little

    unusual its a doomsday clock, and it

    accurately counts down how much timeis left in the match. Of course, when it

    hits zero, Nuketown earns its name.

    7. RC-XD on the DL

    Theres a bit of broken fence in eachback yard one hole next to Masons

    fallout shelter and the other near Woods

    shed. The openings are just large

    enough for an RC-XD to fit through

    try it. You can take your remote-controlled car for a little offroad joyride,

    complete with ramp jump a part ofthe map where humans cannot tread.

    Great for sneak attacks or just yelling

    WHEEEE! (Also, keep your eyespeeled: Nuketown is not the only map

    that features RC-XD shortcuts.)

    8. Moving Mannequins

    This ones just creepy. The mannequins

    that populate Nuketown change everytime the level begins. For instance, over

    at the swingset behind Woods house,

    sometimes youve got a male standing

    behind a female seated on the swing;

    sometimes you get just one or the other.

    Its the same everywhere else in the

    level; the genders and placement of themannequins vary every time you play.

    9. The Mannequin Surprise: A

    Suburban Legend No More!

    I heard about this one four days before

    the game came out and I still cantdetermine if its true or not. Apparently

    Treyarchs David Vonderhaar stated inan interviewthat if you shot all the heads

    off the mannequins, you would witness a

    surprise. Some people say you have toshoot them off in 60 seconds; some say

    30. Some people said the secret was that

    the nuke immediately went off; others

    have said the mannequins spontaneously

    generate firearms or turn into zombies,which then attack. All I know is that I

    took my time when I shot all of them off

    in Combat Training (even the ones

    hiding in the school bus) and nothing

    happened. I asked Erik and he wasntaware of there being anything special

    about the mannequin heads, but then

    again, maybe Treyarch truly slipped thiseaster egg in under the radar. If Von says

    its true, I guess I have to believe itdespite my initial skepticism he

    certainly knows more than I do but

    until someone produces evidence of this

    surprise, I am clueless as to what thatsurprise would actually be. I figure there

    are now teams working around the clock

    trying to get the first YouTube video up

    and Ill gladly link to it when it

    appears.

    UPDATE: Thanks to NextGenTactics,we have a video of the surprise: If you

    get everybody working together, The

    Rolling Stones Sympathy for theDevil plays from unseen loudspeakers.

    Thanks to Teh Dolla for the link:

    Have you spotted anything Ive missed?The Treyarch school bus seemed so

    obvious that I left it out, but Im still

    wondering whose photo is on Masons

    upstairs desk.

    COD Black Ops Zombies: Eminem

    Easter Egg Revealed

    We have someexciting news to bringyou now, as it has been confirmed that

    an Eminem song has been hidden inside

    Call of Duty: Black Ops zombies as part

    of one of many easter eggs included in

    the game.

    We were tipped off with the news a few

    hours ago, and now we know its real

    with a recent video that has appeared on

    YouTube. When playing the secondzombie map, Five, simply find and

    activate the three red telephones and

    youll hear a complete version of

    Eminems Wont Back Downsong over

    the airwaves.

    We knew that Eminem had been a bigpart of the games official soundtrack,

    but to actually have one of his tracks

    hidden inside zombie mode is awesome.

    It is a shame that Treyarch picked WontBack Downthough, Till I collapsewould of been more appropriate for the

    level, do you agree?

    Escape your chair in the main

    menu

    What a cool concept. You don't just

    play as secret soldier Alex Mason

    during the game you play as him

    in the menu screens as well. Still

    strapped to the interrogation chair.

    Still questioned by that mysterious

    shadow. Still surrounded by

    flickering monitors and dirty torture

    equipment. You can look around all

    you want, even down at your

    imprisoned arms and legs, but you

    can never escape.

    Or can you? You can! Simply pull the

    left and right triggers on your

    controller, in quick and alternate

    succession: LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT,

    RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT,

    RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT. Do it fast

    enough and Mason will suddenly

    break free of his restraints and stand

    up, free to explore the room.

    BONUS: Finding this Easter egg

    will earn you the Achievement /

    Trophy "Just ask me nicely"

    Access a secret computer

    terminal

    Once free from the interrogation

    chair, the first thing (really, the only

    thing) you'll want to do in this menu

    room is walk over to the small

    computer terminal tucked away in

    the back corner. The game will

    instruct you to hit a button, and voila

    a really old, really clunky '60s-era

    operating system!

    Type out "HELP" for a basic idea of

    what commands are possible in this

    retro terminal. We'll walk you through

    the documents and programs we've

    found so far, but if you experiment

    enough, you're bound to discover

    something new. Also, if you own a

    USB keyboard, we recommend

    plugging it in now.

    Unlock the Dead Ops Arcade

    mode

    You've played Nazi Zombies and,

    after beating the campaign, you've

    played Pentagon "Five" Zombies

    with JFK, Castro, Nixon and

    McNamara. But what about that third

    missing option, currently blacked out

    in the Zombie menu? What unlocks

    that?

    Simple. At the computer command

    prompt, enter "DOA" to launch Dead

    Ops Arcade, an old-school, top-

    down, dual-stick shooter similar to

    Robotron, Smash TV or Geometry

    Wars only with armies of zombies,

    remote control helicopters and an

    evil space gorilla. It's fun, it's

    surprisingly lengthy and best of all, it

    supports co-op. After you've entered

    the "DOA" code and played that first

    time, Dead Ops Arcade will always

    be available from the main menu.

    BONUS: Finding this Easter egg

    will earn you the Achievement /

    Trophy "Insert Coin"

    BONUS x2: Using the Speed

    Boost power-up in Dead Ops

    Arcade to kill 20 or more enemies

    at once will earn you the

    Achievement / Trophy "Easy

    Rhino"

    Play Zork

    Yes, buried within one of this year's

    most high-budget, cutting-edge,

    action-packed explosion-thons is a

    1980 text adventure in which you

    solve puzzles, navigate mazes and

    defeat trolls by typing at them. Zork I:

    The Great Underground Empire is a

    legendary milestone in the history of

    gaming and, should you grow bored

    of all the guns (or all the graphics) in

    Black Ops, it is fully playable when

    you type "ZORK" into the computer

    terminal's command prompt.

    BONUS: Finding this Easter egg

    will earn you the Achievement /

    Trophy "Eaten by a Grue"

    Letters from your family

    We're not done with the computer

    yet. In addition to playing the Zork

    and Dead Ops Arcade programs,

    you can access a whole list of

    documents hidden in the machine.Enter "DIR" to see a list of what's

    available, then type "CAT" followed

    by a space and the filename you

    want. Most interesting to us were the

    tragic series of letters from Alex

    Mason's father and sister, which add

    dimension to his personality and

    background.

    Hidden art and music

    There are also .pic and .snd files that

    can be accessed through the "DIR"

    and "CAT" commands. The former

    display concept art of missions and

    characters, while the latter play

    soundtrack music from the game.

    No Russian? Well, maybe a little

    The most famous line of dialogue in

    any Call of Duty ever is spoken

    by Modern Warfare 2's terrorist

    villain, Vladimir Makarov, at the start

    of the game's fourth mission. As an

    elevator door slowly opens, and an

    airport full of soon-to-be-slaughtered

    travelers is horrifyingly revealed, he

    reminds the player, "Remember, no

    Russian."

    Cut to the beginning of Black Ops'

    fourth mission, in which another

    undercover protagonist is about to

    infiltrate a Soviet launch facility. As

    he straps on his boots and pulls on

    his mask, the character across from

    him turns and says, "I hope your time

    in Vorkuta helped your Russian,

    Mason."

    Coincidence? Or intentional

    callback? We're going with the latter.

    Mysterious objectives

    SPOILER ALERT! By the final two

    missions of Black Ops' campaign,

    protagonist Alex Mason has gone a

    bit coo-coo. He's paranoid, he's

    violent, he's hallucinating and in a

    clever breakthrough of the fourth

    wall, the game transfers some of that

    madness to the you, the player.

    Pause during either the Revelations

    or Redemption missions and you

    won't see a real objective just more

    of the numbers that have driven

    Mason out of his mind.

    Double Rainbow!

    Above: So bright. So vivid

    Oh my God, what does this mean?

    Two intense, full on rainbows all the

    way across the sky of Call of Duty:

    Black Ops? Right in the front yard of

    multiplayer map Nuketown? Oh

    wow! Oh wow! WOO HOO HOO!

    YEAH!

    No, seriously, what does this Easter

    egg mean? Well, probably just that

    Treyarch's developers saw thesame

    YouTube sensation that everyone

    else saw back in July, then decided

    to throw the internet meme into their

    game. Now if only Hungrybear9562

    were available as an avatar skin.

    Also, see what's printed on the side

    of the school bus?

    Population: You

    While admiring the double rainbow inNuketown, also be sure to check out

    the "Welcome to Nuketown" sign.

    Notice the population number? It

    changes to match the number of

    players in your match after all,

    mannequins don't count as citizens,

    and they're the only other ones

    around.

    Mannequin surprise

    Here's a challenge. According to

    developer Treyarch, during an

    interviewwith GameSpot editor (and

    former GamesRadar intern) Shaun

    McInnis:

    "If you pop the heads off all the

    [Nuketown] mannequins and I

    mean all of them and I mean in

    record-breaking time there's a little

    something special for you. [It] takes

    a well-coordinated team of people.

    You're gonna need a full team of

    professionals to make this happen."

    So what's the reward? No one knows

    yet. The most popular rumor in forum

    threads is that a new zombie mode

    is unlocked, but as of this article'sposting four days after the game's

    release a video with proof has yet

    to be uploaded anywhere. Which

    means you could still be the first to

    do so. If you succeed, let us know so

    we can post a story on your glorious

    triumph!

    Movie reference: Apocalypse Now

    Piloting a boat upriver into the

    madness at the heart of war a

    description of Francis Ford

    Coppola's epochal film, Apocalypse

    Now, or a description of the tenth

    mission in Call of Duty: Black Ops?

    Both! In this level, the game treats

    players to a ton of imagery that

    directly evokes the movie, including

    the bridge at the last American

    outpost, a burning Huey on the

    riverbank, and a herd of water

    buffalo. The soundtrack has aparallel, too, in the form of The

    Rolling Stones. During the game,

    you blast away at enemy defenses

    while listening to Sympathy for the

    Devil, while a scene from the film

    features the crew blaring (I Cant

    Get No) Satisfaction from the boats

    radio.

    Movie reference: The Deer Hunter

    The Russian Roulette scene in

    1978s The Deer Hunter is one of the

    most famous and famously intense

    pieces of human drama ever

    committed to film, with Robert

    DeNiro and Christopher Walken

    turning in amazing performances as

    American POWs during the Vietnam

    War.

    So when you and your buddy get

    captured by the enemy in Black Ops'

    version of Vietnam, how could the

    developers possibly resist an

    opportunity to pay homage? Watch

    the game version above, and the

    original movie clip below.

    Return of the teddy bear

    Teddy bears have been an ongoing

    Easter egg in this series since the

    very beginning hell, this Call of

    Duty wiki page lists at least 35

    appearances by the toy, scattered

    throughout the multiplayer and

    campaigns of at least five different

    games.

    While we haven't spotted any during

    the Black Ops missions yet we

    definitely know they've returned.

    Above is a bloody, ravaged teddy

    bear from the Kino Der Toten

    zombies mode. He can be found

    right at the outset, on a balcony in

    the first area. If and when you locate

    more, let us know in the comments

    section.

    Return of the watermelon

    Another mainstay in the Call of Duty

    universe is the watermelon. Modern

    Warfare required you to knife one of

    these refreshing and delicious fruits

    as a part of your training, while

    Modern Warfare 2 featured an

    exaggerated exploding variety. While

    Call of Duty: Black Ops only has

    regular watermelons, as far as wecan tell, it has a lot of them.

    Seriously, count next time you play

    through the campaign there are far

    too many to be accidental.

    Sexy man pile! (Actually dead)

    Okay, this final Easter egg is odd, as

    we're not even sure if it really exists.

    While playing the Numbers mission

    during the Black Ops review event

    two weeks before the game's

    release, we found this random stack

    of corpses. They definitely weren't

    enemies we had killed, and they

    were tucked away in a forgotten

    corner of the level.

    When we tried locating them again

    this week, however, they were gone!

    Did Treyarch patch them out? And if

    so, what is Treyarch trying to hide?

    The Teddy bear is an Easter egg in Call

    of Duty: Finest Hour. In the level"Surrender At Aachen" (the thirdmission in the American campaign), go

    through the door and kill the four

    Germans. Then go to the area straight

    from the door that the player came

    through. There will be an MP-40 and ateddy bear here. Pick up the teddy bear

    and the player will receive health and a

    message stating "The Bear is adorable."

    The teddy bears training targets.

    Added by Kyno1407Teddy bears are

    used for target practice in the traininglevel of Call of Duty 2 by the Soviets. In

    the beginning of the level, the player is

    instructed to use his rifle to shoot two

    teddy bears. If he chooses not to do so

    them, the player will get killed

    eventually, sometimes he'll call the

    player a traitor. This is the first major

    use of teddy bears in the game, which is

    nonetheless small. The teddy bear is alsoseen in many other missions, in semi-

    hidden locations. They are seen in

    "Downtown Assault", "The Silo" and

    "Crossing the Rhine".

    Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Edit

    Several teddy bears are also seen in Call

    of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, in the levels"Blackout", "All Ghillied Up", "War

    Pig", "The Bog", "Mile High Club",

    "Heat", "One Shot, One Kill",

    "Safehouse","Ultimatum", and"Aftermath". In Pripyat they were

    presumably abandoned by children when

    the city was evacuated in 1986 after the

    Chernobyl disaster. In "Blackout" theplayer will see the teddy bear in anabandoned room just before finding

    Nikolai. In "Heat" it can be found in a

    drainage ditch. In "Mile High Club" it is

    among the luggage on the floor. In

    "Ultimatum" it is in the bottom floor ofthe building the player rescues Griggs

    from. The teddy also appears in several

    multiplayer maps; such as "Bloc",

    "Ambush", "Overgrown", "Crossfire",

    "Chinatown".

    Call of Duty: World at War Edit

    The teddy bear makes its first NaziZombies appearance in the map

    "Verrckt". If a player happens to come

    across a teddy bear from the mystery

    box, a young child's laugh will be heard

    and the box float to the ceiling beforevanishing to another location in a flash

    of light, but when this happens the

    player's points are returned to him/her.

    The locations are marked by a pile of

    rubble with a teddy bear on top of it. Onthe walls, writings such as "teddy is a

    liar" appear in blood near the kitchen

    and other places.

    The teddy bear makes it's second

    unwelcome appearance in "Shi NoNuma". Like in "Verrckt" its purpose is

    to relocate the mystery box and frustrate

    the players. A possible mystery box

    location is marked by a few boxes with a

    teddy bear on top of it. However, it'smuch easier to find the relocated

    mystery box, as a beam of light shines

    above the hut it is located in. Hence the

    writing above the first mystery box

    spawn point saying, "Look up to see the

    light" then pointing to a drawn hut's

    roof.

    The teddy bear has unique cameos in the"Der Riese" map. In addition to the

    mystery box, there is an alley in the

    starting area where if not in splitscreen,

    the player will see a shadow of a teddy

    bear standing around the corner. There isalso a teddy bear holding the Bowie

    knife on a rooftop looking down at the

    player after the Fly Trap is activated,

    along with another teddy bear in a cage

    holding a bottle of Juggernog and theM1911 Pistol after going through the

    Pack-a-Punch Machine.

    When the teddy bear appears in the

    mystery box, a young child's laugh is

    heard (as well as a more demonic one)and the overvoice of the game says 'Bye

    bye'. Rarely, the zombies start to laugh

    because of the player's loss.

    It is very possible that the laugh heard

    when the player gets the teddy bear out

    of the mystery box belongs to Samantha,Dr. Maxis' daughter (see Radio

    messages/Der Riese). In one radio

    message it is revealed that Samantha andDr. Maxis are trapped with a Hellhound

    after Dr. Maxis ran an experiment onSamantha's dog Fluffy. It is possible that

    Samantha is haunting the

    zombie/Hellhound incidents as a result

    of this. Likewise, it is possible that Dr.

    Maxis haunts them and is the one whoplayers hear say "Fetch me their souls!"

    to the dogs.

    It may be possible that Samantha had a

    teddy bear when she was murdered by

    Edward and now she uses her teddy as a

    conduit between her world and ours. Inthe Fly Trap sequence, when the player

    starts it, there will be a little child's voice

    that says "I want to play a game... let's

    play, Hide and Seek!". The child's voiceis German, for when the child says

    "Wow, you found another one," She

    pronounces the word "Another" with a

    German accent and says "Anozzer". She

    also says many things, along with ademonic voice in the end when the

    player finishes the game of hers and she

    says, "you win, GAME OVER!".

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Edit

    The teddy bear can also be seen brieflyin the first teaser trailer for Call of Duty:

    Modern Warfare 2, released in 2009. A

    few teddy bears can also be seen in themap Terminal near the boarding gate

    onto the plane, if one walks into the shop

    on the right and looks at a particular

    shelf.

    Teddy bears can be seen in manymultiplayer levels, in the level Favela

    there is a teddy bear propped up on a

    mattress in the red building that looks

    out over the alleyway across from the icecream shop and on Highrise when the

    player climbs to the top of the building

    with the charlie flag for Domination in

    it.. There is one in Afghan on the

    mattresses below the cliff. There is one

    in Carnival under the castle moat. Thereis one in Scrapyard under a manhole

    cover easily open-able by grenades.

    Campaign Edit

    There is a teddy on the floor in the

    airport by a dead man in "No Russian".

    There is also a store filled with teddy

    bears in "No Russian" along with a darkbrown bear with the same kind of design

    but in smaller scale.

    Destroying a specific TV in the level

    "The Hornet's Nest" will reveal a teddy

    bear hidden inside. Also in this level,going down a hidden alleyway blocked

    by plants on the far right of the first area

    entering this mission, will lead the

    player to a Teddy Bear, a piece of paper

    with a child drawing on it, and a Porter

    Justice poster. There is a third teddy bear

    on a back alley behind a building

    towards the end of the level where the

    player has to jump for the helicopter and

    miss.

    On the level "Exodus" there is a teddybear in the Arcadia fountain. It is also

    seen in the 'panic room' of the VIP

    secured by James Ramirez, on a chair

    with a chess set in front of it, making it

    likely that the VIP began to play chesswith it.

    In the mission "Loose Ends" a teddy

    bear can be found in a bathroom (in the

    house where the player protects theDSM) with a knife in its head, stickinginto a wall.

    Teddy Bear on Highrise roof.

    Added by Infected32Multiplayer Edit

    Teddy bears in multiplayer are

    considered signals of special areas that

    are supposedly hard to get to, such as the

    teddy bears on the roof of Highrise. Theamount of teddy bears depicted could be

    an indicator of the more difficult places

    to reach.

    "Underpass" has one teddy bear on a

    catwalk inside one of the warehouses.

    In "Derail" there is a teddy bear in afiling cabinet inside one of the

    warehouses. the player can see it if he

    shoots or knifes the cabinet that contains

    it (there are 3 cabinets lined up in a row

    next to a computer desk with childish

    drawings on the wall, the one on the

    right has the bear).

    There is also one hidden behind anexplosive barrel. Several sets of stairslead down to an indent in the rocks with

    a locked door. Another is located

    underneath the cliff, and blends in with

    rocks. This is on the desert map,

    "Afghan".

    There is a teddy bear in the basement in

    a tight space on "Estate", along with a

    teddy bear in between a cabinet and a

    dresser in the kitchen (room above

    basement). Also, upstairs in thebathroom, behind the door there is a

    teddy bear nailed to the wall.

    In the multiplayer map "Favela", a teddy

    bear can be found in one of the central

    buildings in the main floor (the lower

    floor is only a staircase leading to thehouse) on top of a mattress that is

    leaning against a wall. This building is

    the one across from the one with garden

    on the roof.

    In "Wasteland" in the tunnel system, andin a house next to the helicopter there is

    a red poster. On the poster it says in

    yellow writing 1945, in black ribbon 9,

    and in red writing Mar with R written

    backwards. On a poster hangingoverhead a man with glasses with a red

    star badge. It looks like a star on the

    teddy bears shoulder on that map.

    Eight teddy bears are found on themultiplayer map "Highrise". The first 7

    are found by jumping from the buildingonto the fallen lift near one of the

    spawns. The lift acts like a ladder, and

    after crossing a few ledges as well as a

    tilted lift, the player can get to a spot on

    the top of the map which hosts the seventeddy bears. The eighth teddy bear is in

    the red building in the back. To reach it,

    climb the ladder in the back and jump

    from the top of the ladder to the black

    platform in front of the player.

    In the map "Scrapyard", there is a teddy

    bear in a red drain near a white moving

    van. Its close to the fence but the playercan only remove the top part of the drainwith a grenade. If the player are not sure

    how to do it, watch the videos below.

    In "Carnival", there is an unusually large

    teddy bear behind the bars of the drain in

    the castle moat which can be seen fromunder the bridge

    Call of Duty: Black Ops EditIt is seen in

    Kino der Toten and can appear in theMystery Box and moves it. It also can be

    found at Mystery Box spawn locations.

    It is also seen on Samantha's bed in herbedroom. It also appears in "Five". It is

    sitting above ammo crates.

    Trivia EditThe teddy bear could be a

    reference to how war is said to ruin

    children's lives.

    It also seems that Teddy bears areomens of bad luck. In Call of Duty 4:

    Modern Warfare, they are found inChernobyl, which had a nuclear

    meltdown. In Call of Duty: World at

    War's Nazi Zombies, it moves themystery box. In Call of Duty: Modern

    Warfare 2, one is found with the dead

    VIP.

    Teddy bears are believed to be in some

    spots to show that those areas are

    purposely accessible, and not glitches,such as the roof of Highrise.

    The teddy bear in Loose Ends, has

    many ironies behind it. As mentioned

    above, it could be a sign of bad luck(Shepherd's betrayal). The knife in its

    head could be a symbol of the manydeaths caused by Makarov or the many

    deaths and MIAs of the Task Force 141

    soldiers in the level. It being the first

    teddy bear found with a knife in its head,

    it could also be a symbol of Price andthe rest of the remaining members of TF

    141 taking fate into their own hands and

    going after Shepherd. Also the knife is

    close to where the knife in Endgame hit

    Shepherd. Coincidentally, the teddy bear

    marks a good camping spot for

    protecting the intel.

    Another theory is that the teddy bears

    are a tribute to the 6 year old daughter of

    an Infinity Ward employee who died ofcancer.

    It has been said that where teddy bears

    are, they are supposedly hidden areas,

    but this has been disproven.

    The roof on Highrise has an unusual

    amount of teddy bears on it.

    The Teddy Bear has a bigger role inWorld at War because of its appearance

    in Nazi Zombies.

    Teddy Bears are absent from the

    campaign and multiplayer in World at

    War.

    In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

    Reflex all teddy bears are absent exceptfor one in Bloc, which is put next to a

    crib, it could possibly be a joke.

    It could also be a tribute to a baby who

    died during the making of Call of Duty:

    Finest Hour, which was already

    attributed in the Ghostly Room.However this is uncertain.
