4* The ending of the Soviet campaign where Reznov helps you up to plant the flag on the Reichstag.
5* The ending. After having fun shooting Nazis and helping the Red Army win, [[UsefulNotes/DouglasMacArthur General MacArthur's]] speech pulls you out of the game's escapism to remind us of the dark reality of war; it affects us all.

It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that from this solemn occasion, a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past. A world founded upon faith and understanding, of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish, of freedom, tolerance, and justice.
7** Before this, there's a clip of President Truman announcing the surrender of Nazi Germany and saying how the war must now be "won in the east." The footage this plays over? [[NukeEm The atomic bombing of Hiroshima]]
