10 Most Epic Set-Pieces In Call Of Duty History

3. Planting The Russian Flag - Call Of Duty: World At War

The finale to Call of Duty: World at War is epic. Everything is turned up to eleven as you fight against German forces in an epic showdown in The Reichstag that pretty much belongs in a Hollywood movie.

Everything builds, the music, the tension, the patriotism. And it all ends brilliantly, as the flag bearer is struck down and it's left to you to pick it up and charge forward.

Urged on by rousing music that swells in your moment of victory - and to the encouragement shouted by your comrades - you plant the flag. I got goosebumps the first time I played this, and I still do just watching it now - undoubtedly one of the greatest moments in FPS history, let alone the Call of Duty franchise.
