--> '''Mason:''' ''[[SayMyName REZNOV!!]]''

--> '''Reznov:''' Dimitri Petrenko was a hero. He deserved a hero's death. Instead of giving his life for the Motherland, he died for nothing... like an animal.

--> '''Mason:''' [[SayMyName REZNOV!!]]

* Woods' seeming HeroicSacrifice to take down Kravchenko. It happens too fast for the player to even think of doing anything to stop it and Black Ops 2 reveals that it was ''almost'' pointless since it didn't even kill the bastard.

** Although, in Black Ops 2, assuming you didn't shoot Mason, disguised as Menendez with a bag over his head, in the head, he survives to the age of 93, and even goes to the Vault to meet up with his old friend Woods. A dose of SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} comes when the two even start bantering like old times.

* Black Ops seems to end in a high note. Mason shrugs off the brainwashing, the attack on America was stopped, and the bad guys are all punished. Then you read the unlocked intel pages, only to find that [[spoiler: Mason never fully recovered, and because of that he was finally considered a threat to national security by the CIA and marked for termination, along with Hudson and Weaver. They escape to South Africa, and the last thing we know is that joint operation between the CIA and [=MI6=] is being prepared in order to assassinate the three heroes that saved America. This is extra sad considering Reznov's words on being betrayed by your own.]]

* To me it's sad when Woods seems to die in the first. Especially when Mason thinks he can see him.. Before it turns out to ''Reznov''.

* When Mason is subdued after Hudson and Weaver witness him killing Steiner while believing himself to be Viktor Reznov, despite Hudson having every reason to be livid with him for killing the man who could tell them how to stop Nova 6, Hudson just looks at Mason, and asks solemnly "What did they do to you in Vorkuta Mason?" in a tone that clearly indicates that as much as Hudson might be irate, there is the fact that Mason likely underwent psychological torture to the point that he believes he is someone else.

* Call of Duty: Black Ops has [[spoiler:the death of [[VideoGame/CallOfDutyWorldAtWar Dimitri Petrenko]] in ''Project Nova.'' Long story short, the antagonist, Soviet General Dragovich, decides to test his newly acquired Nova 6 gas on his own men. Unlike the aforementioned Shepherd, he doesn't even have the excuse of tying up loose ends - he just does it because he has something against Reznov. It's not even a quick death - you watch him suffocate and vomit as his skin burns, while he's banging uselessly on the glass door between your cells. The fact that the usually hamtastic Reznov is recounting this in a completely downbeat, despairing tone does not help. ]]
--> '''Reznov:''' [[[spoiler:Dimitri]]] should have died in Berlin.
** Looks like death doesn't like to be cheated.
** Even more sadder is that the whole thing, aside from Reznov's description, and the music, it is mostly completely soundless. But the look on Dimitri's face shows that he is screaming either for release, or for Reznov to save him. This is a man who stared down the horrors of Stalingrad completely calmly, and yet in his last moments, he is screaming for aid, all while his body begins to utterly disintegrate. Given that Petrenko is a nice friendly character in the level, the fact his last words are muted is truly gut wrenching.
* The achievement for Project Nova is "some wounds never heal", which is basically the game rubbing in the fact that [[spoiler: the regenerating health and general survival ability Petrenko had as the main Russian PC in World At War couldn't save him in the gas chamber.]]

--> '''Mason:''' Step Eight, Reznov: [[spoiler: Freedom!]]

* I notice a settle but sad moment in black ops.. After Wood's assumed death. Mason believes he sees Woods standing over him, before it's revealed as "Reznov". Considering there's no way Woods could of been there. It's sad to me..
