Tank War

A cut gametype. Little is known about it, being the only thing that proves its existence is audio files of the announcers two unused APCs. According to the name, and the voices from the announcers the gametype was going to be based around armored warfare. Not only does the voice acting remain but three armored cars remain also one for the Marines, one for the Japanese, and one for the Germans.

Perks

PMD-6 x2

A tier 1 perk that would have given the player six PMD-6 landmines. The icon still exists.

• 

  Perk icon for the PMD-6 x2.

Magic Wrench

A vehicle perk used in Tank War. Functionality most likely repaired tanks. The icon still exists.

• 

  Perk icon for the Magic Wrench.

Commanding Squad Leader

Allowed the player to give orders to their squad. In the final version all squad leaders can do this. The icon still exists.

• 

  Perk icon for the Commanding Squad Leader.

Attachments

Compensator

A cut attachment. In real life a compensator reduces the recoil of the weapon its attached to, like the grip in the final game.

• 

  Select icon for the Compensator.

Select Fire

Another cut attachment. The select fire most likely worked the same way it did in the first Call of Duty and in United Offensive. It would have been for the SVT-40, was mentioned in the World at War strategy guide, and its select icon has the silencer on it along with "This is a Select Fire Switch" in green.

• 

  Select icon for the Select Fire.

Cut Killstreak

Air Strike: A payload of bombs being dropped in a selected location. It was probably cut in favour of the artillery strike killstreak.

• 

  Acquisition icon for the Air Strike.

• 

  Killfeed icon for the Air Strike.

The battle vehicle deployed would depend on the activator's team: the Marine Raiders would get a B-17 Flying Fortress, the Imperial Japanese Army would get the Kamikaze, the Wehrmacht would get the Carpet Bomber, and the Red Army would get the Katyusha. The voice acting still exists as seen below.

	Bombs above, awaiting your command.
	Get to cover! Russian rockets inbound!
	Our bombs will destroy them as they hide!

Unused Multiplayer Ranks

Returning from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare are most of the unused rank icons. The first three rank icons seem to be early versions of the rank icons. The next five rank icons appear to be lower quality versions of the respective existing rank icons, and it seems that there was going to be gold versions of the eagle, star and double-bar rank icons. The two unused red & gold rank icons that were present in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare have been removed from the game files for unknown reasons, though the diagonal style of this unused rank icon from Call of Duty 4 was used as a template for the first three ranks in multiplayer.

The most notable unused rank icon is the Treyarch logo icon. Meant for Treyarch employees? Unfortunately, it never made it into the game.

Unused Zombie Content

Unused Game Mechanics

Payload Game Mode

Payload is a cut zombies game mode. Players would have had to escort a payload under time pressure. Scripts and a .map file can be found in the mod tools. The presence of the .map file suggests that there would have been a specific map designed for this game mode.

Payload.str

REFERENCE	LANG_ENGLISH	Notes
OBJECTIVE	Escort The Payload
TIMER	Zombie Timer:
FAILED	Mission failed. You did not kill enough Zombies.
MASTER	You have become the MASTER OF UNLOCKING!

Crawler Rounds

_zombiemode.gsc makes mention of "crawler rounds" which seemed to have been intended to behave like dog rounds (every 4-6 rounds).

Player-Controlled Zombies

In _zombiemode.gsc, there is a lot of script related to "zombifying" the player, a feature not seen in the final game. It would give the player the "brains" weapon, set their movement speed to 30%, cause all zombies to ignore them, etc. When the player is killed as a zombie, they are downed (and presumably could be revived by other player zombies).

• 

Zombie Dog Behavior

In the script for zombie animations (wall_hop_zombie.gsc), there is a section of code relating to how dogs should hop walls. This functionality is not present in the final game.

Auto-Turrets in Zombies

There exists a script file (_zombiemode_auto_turret) defining the logic for how auto turrets would work in Nazi Zombies, although this is never used in the final game. There is a variable called level.max_auto_turrets_active (which is set to 2), suggesting there were intended to be multiple. It would have cost 1500 points, and would have had a "timeout" of 30 seconds (it is unclear whether this is the duration or the cooldown). There would have been a unique line of dialog that played if the player tried to buy a turret without having the points to afford it.

Hidden Room

In the room the player starts the stage in, there is a small inacessible room placed behind a wall. This room can be seen in this video from 4:25 - 4:39.

Shi No Numa

To do: Upload Shi No Numa Double Tap Root Beer (mentioned here)

Amm-o-matic

Amm-o-matic is a cut Perk-A-Cola intended to be included in Shi No Numa. Only a texture sheet and voice files of the main 4 interacting with this machine remain.

Unused Random Perk-A-Cola Voice Lines

There are unused voice lines seemingly meant to be used when the player opens a door with a perk-a-cola machine inside, which, in the final game, spawns a random Perk-A-Cola machine (as opposed to the static nature of the machines in the other maps).

Character	Voice file	Character	Voice file
Dempsey		Nikolai
Takeo		Richtofen

Unused Traps

Shi No Numa has unused voice lines referencing traps that weren't included in the final version of the map.

The guillotine appears to be a trap that temporarily blocks off a certain part of the map, secluding the player to a limited area if they fail to escape after activating the trap.

The barrel is a fire-based trap, but little information about it can be gathered from these voice lines.

The battery is an electricity-based trap, and much like the barrel, not much information can be extrapolated. It's possible that it was cut in favour of the zappers, which were used in Zombie Verrückt, the previous map. It's also possible that the battery is just an alternative name for the zapper, but since these voice lines are unused despite the zappers being in the final version of the map and not having related voice lines, this seems unlikely.

The chopper is (unsurprisingly) a trap intended to chop the zombies.

Dempsey has a "safe" version of swamp_guillotine_block_00.wav, which was (presumably) meant to be used instead of the normal version if the player had graphic content restricted in their game settings:

Unseen Text

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

One part of the map has an inacessible bridge that leads out of the map to a hut. This hut has the word "Tunguska" on the left wall, which cannot normally be seen, and is in reference to the Tunguska event. This hut can be seen in this video from 10:50 - 11:16.

Der Riese

Unused Voice Lines

In the sound files for Der Riese, there are 78 unused voice lines from five different voice actors, portraying four different characters. A few of these voice lines are identical to ones found in the final version of Der Riese, although the voice actor is different.

Player0's folder contains voice files from two different voice actors. 38 of his 48 voice lines are from a young-sounding male with an American accent. This actor's lines relate to crawlers, dogs being stronger, the power being off at the start of the game, monkey bombs, the Pack-a-Punch machine, Carpenter, shooting limbs from zombies, feeling sick from teleporting, and obtaining the Bowie knife. The remaining 10 voice lines come from a deeper, more gravelly American voice, reminiscent of Dempsey. These voice lines relate to the teleporter countdown when linking them up, and asking for help with linking them up.

Player1 is very reminiscent of Nikolai; he has a slightly raspy Russian voice, and is potrayed as an unintelligent, lazy, alcoholic. He has 10 voice lines in total, all relating to the teleporter countdown when linking them up, and asking for help with linking them up, just like one of player0's voices. In one of his voice lines, he calls Richtofen by his name, asking him to link up the teleporter. This possibly indicates that these voice lines are from voice actors who were meant to play the four characters in the final game, rather than being used for a new set of characters. However, it doesn't seem to make sense how these files were included in the Der Riese sound files, considering that these characters were introduced in Shi No Numa.

Player2 is a male with a Japanese accent, like Takeo, except his voice is slightly deeper and raspier, and somewhat calmer. Like player1 and Nikolai, player2's mannerisms are similar to Takeo's, although he doesn't seem to be as stereotypically Japanese as final Takeo is; he doesn't have as many "deep" sayings, nor does he talk about things like honor. His 10 voice lines all relate to the teleporters, just like player1.

As you might expect, player3 is very similar to Richtofen. His 10 voice lines also relate to the teleporters.

Below are some examples of each voice actor's lines.

Character	Voice file	Character	Voice file
Player0 (1) (Dempsey)		Player0 (2) (Dempsey)
Player1 (Nikolai)		Player2 (Takeo)
Player3 (Richtofen)

Picture of Barrier and Roof of the room.

Ditto of Above

Cut Areas

To the left of the Bowie Knife, underneath the catwalk where zombies can drop down immediately after climbing over the barrier into the map, there is a door that leads to a largely unmodelled and untextured room, accessible with noclip. There are only a handful of textures in this room, but from what we can see, it appears to be lit by a red light. In the middle of the room, there is a floating block of wall, shaped similarly to that of the wall barrier in the help room in Nacht der Untoten. By moving the camera inside this block, it is possible to see that it is comprised of lots of smaller blocks (again, similar to the wall in Nacht der Untoten). This suggests it was intended to be used as a barrier. There is also another room right next to the previously mentioned one. This room appears to be smaller and only contains a door. Interestingly in Black Ops 1 the Barricade, and the red lighting were removed, but the door and ceilings remain.

Unseen Area Content

This page or section needs more images. There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

Near the stage spawn is a barrier area where the shadows of zombies and a teddy bear can be seen on a wall slightly outside the stage. This geometry for this area is much larger than what the player can actually see, and can be seen in this video from 13:02 - 13:41.

Unused Vehicles

Crusader

To do: Get actual string

Only referenced in the vehiclename.str file.

Default Vehicle

A six wheeled, untextured, and crudely made vehicle with two MG42s and two Panzershrecks made to test vehicle driving.

• 

  A view at the front of the Default Vehicle.

• 

  Side view.

•

Goliath

To do: Where does this come from

A remote controlled German demolition vehicle. Some vehicle scripting, references to a deleted model [build_deathmodel( "vehicle_ger_tracked_goliath", "vehicle_ger_tracked_goliath" );], a file (_goliath.gsc) and a remains of a planned compass icon (build_compassicon();) still exist.

M4 Sherman

The M4 Sherman tank has three unused models. The first one has an M2 Browning machine gun on it which may have been for Tank War. The second one was equipped with deep wading gear. The third has winter camouflage that was definitely for the Holland level.

• 

  The M2 Browning variant of the Sherman.

• 

  The variant with deep wading gear.

• 

  The winter variant.

M8 Greyhound

An armored car intended for the Marines. Despite having a machine gun and a turret neither one of them has a weapon file. The file name of the model, "vehicle_usa_wheeled_m8_mp" shows that it would be in Tank War.

• 

  The M8 Greyhound.

Nashorn

To do: tidy

A German tank destroyer. Coding shows that it was to appear in the cut Rhineland 2 while a Tiger tank was used as a placeholder (maps\_tiger::main( "vehicle_tiger_woodland" ); // TODO replace with Nashorn!) and would have to be destroyed due to it being an objective (level.obj7_string = &"RHI2_OBJ_7"; // disable nashorn). The Nashorn would be found in a church and the player would have to burn the crew and then the level would end.

event_church_nashornMolotovs()
{level endon( "church_found_position" );
trigger_wait( "trig_church_nashornMolotovs", "targetname" );
iprintlnbold( "Molotovs found; Nashorn crew flamed." );
level notify( "church_found_position" ); }

Sd. Kfz. 222

The German's armored car. Four models remain for it, a "default" model, a variant for MP, one with camouflage (odd since the German Military never appear in heavily wooded areas), and a winterized version intended for the Holland mission. One is also seen in the loadscreen for the cut "Wetlands" map.

• 

  The Sd. Kfz. 222 default model.

• 

  The version intended for multiplayer. Note the lack of a machine gun.

• 

  The camoed variant.

• 

  The winter version.

Panther

A winter version was intended for the Holland level.

• 

  The Panther model intended for Holland

Type 1 Ho-Ki

An APC for the Japanese that does not seem to have any weapons on it, as per the vehicle in real life. The name of the model "vehicle_jap_tracked_type1ho-ki_mp" confirms it would be featured in Tank War.

• 

  The Type 1 Ho-Ki.

Type 97

A version with a MG42 was planed for MP.

• 

  The Type 97 intended for Multiplayer.

Wasp

A flamethrower-equipped variant of the Universal Carrier. A model file (vehicle_brt_tracked_wasp, _wasp.gsc) but no actual model remains.

Cut Enemies

Luftwaffe

The German air force. Its members are never seen directly but have two headless models and a unused helmet.

• 

  The Luftwaffe's "woodland" model.

• 

  The Luftwaffe's "winter" model claimed to be for the scrapped "Holland" campaign mission.

• 

  The Luftwaffe's unused helmet.

Volkssturm

Files referring to them can be found along with a headless model. According to Wikipedia, they were a German national militia formed during the last months of World War II and fought in the Battle of Berlin, so they would most likely be found in the missions Ring of Steel, Eviction , Heart of the Reich, and Downfall.

Unused Videos

default.bik

This video’s main purpose is if any map does not have a load screen. This appears to reuse the Activision intro from various games including almost every Call of Duty game. The intro sound is a whispering voice saying “Activision”.

legal.bik

This video is a copyright screen. No matter what platform you use for Call of Duty: World at War, it will always say Xbox, Microsoft, etc. The reason why this video exists is because Call of Duty: World at War was play tested on Xbox. And this video was replaced with the Press Start screen due to the Activision copyright being on the bottom of the screen. Interestingly, this screen is in Call of Duty: Black Ops but was used as a placeholder. This video has fading effects applied to the video.

treyarch_epd.bik.bik

This video was probably a placeholder before Treyarch created the intro screen (treyarch.bik).This video has fading effects applied to the video.

acti_epd.bik

Just like treyarch_epd.bik, this video was probably a placeholder before Treyarch created the intro screen (treyarch.bik). This video has fading effects applied to the video.

Leftovers

Nacht Der Untoten

In the zombies map “Nacht Der Untoten”, there is a hidden ladder out of bounds in one of the barriers. It’s in the same exact spot as in the Multiplayer map “Airfield”. The ladder is invisible however. Interestingly, this ladder is still in Call of Duty: Black Ops in the Rezurrection DLC. It is unknown if this ladder is still in Call of Duty: Black Ops III in the Zombies Chronicles DLC.

Regional Differences

To do: Hi-resolution screenshots of the neutered version of the game

According to the German Strafgesetzbuch §86a, the usage of unconstitutional symbols (Nazi symbolism, basically) is forbidden outside of certain contexts such as research and teaching. As a result, the swastikas and other explicit references to the Nazi regime were removed from the German version of the game.

In addition, the blood and gore was severely toned down, and both the final FMV sequence and the Nazi Zombies mode were deleted entirely.

You can see a direct comparison of both versions of the game at this German-language website.

Temp loading screen

In the game files, there are 2 test loading screens for singleplayer and multiplayer, respectively. Both of these loadscreens are the map Backlot from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare with "TEMP" written on it.
