10 Insane Video Game Details You Definitely Missed

5. Some Of The Soldiers You Fight Were Forcibly Conscripted - Call Of Duty: World At War

Call of Duty: World at War was released the year after 2007's groundbreaking Modern Warfare, and was immortalised for introducing the legendary Nazi Zombies mode to the franchise.

But World at War also boasts one of the most unexpectedly clever and totally abstract moments in any Call of Duty game to date, and one that's incredibly easy to miss.

While battling Japanese forces during the campaign, you'll eventually gain use of a flamethrower, to which the Japanese soldiers will typically exclaim, "Fire!" and "Hot!" in their native tongue.

But attentive players discovered that some of the soldiers you're burning to a crisp aren't actually speaking in Japanese at all but Indonesian, implying that they're in fact forcibly conscripted "Heiho" soldiers who have no interest in fighting.

This lends a surprising grim thoughtfulness to the game's familiar run-and-gun gameplay, even if the battlefield is typically chaotic enough that there's not really much time to think about it while you're playing. True to war, then.
