9 Video Game Plot Details EVERYONE Missed

4. Call Of Duty: Black Ops' Reznov Was Always On Your Mind

Speaking of toying with you from the start, Call of Duty: Black Ops represented the perfect nexus of action and storytelling in the series. To this day the original Blops is held up as the most fun time we had with a given story, and it's something largely carried over into the multifaceted campaign of Black Ops 2.

With the whole game centring on one Alex Mason being interrogated over some mysterious numbers he can't quite remember the meaning of, developers Treyarch left a doozie of a clue staring you in the face regardless.

Revealing the game's big twist - that your pal Viktor Reznov isn't even real - take the first letter of each individual word that follows the "Designate" text in your mission briefing, and you'll spell out "XREZNOVXXISDEDX".

There's next to no way anybody got this first time through, but it's a supremely cool detail for repeat playthroughs.
