World at War – Final Fronts is the PlayStation 2 counterpart to Call of Duty: World at War. It has almost nothing in common with the original World at War release, in some ways also being a reskin of Delta Force: Black Hawk Down, which also had its PlayStation 2 port developed by Rebellion.

Unused Graphics

DEFAULT.TM2 contains an image that says "Placeholder" with some JPEG artifacts that are a part of the graphic itself.

COD5_BGD.TM2 and LOAD0.TM2 contains World at War concept art, with "WIP" overlaid on it.

PS2_TRI.TM2 and PS2_X.TM2 contains graphics for two of the controller buttons. These are leftovers from Black Hawk Down.

HUD Tiles

A surprising amount of leftovers from Black Hawk Down. CODTILES.ASR\graphics\CODTiles.tm2 is the one actually used by the game. Some of them have duplicate tiles that match the ones being used and some may have either very slight or quite noticeable differences.

	CODTILE1.ASR\graphics\CODTile1.tm2  Some of these identical to the ones used, but icons such as controller buttons are entirely different than those used.
	CODTILE2.ASR\graphics\CODTile2.tm2  The only one that differs from the used tiles is the radar overlay located in the middle.
	CODTILE3.ASR\graphics\BHDTile3.tm2
	CODTILE4.ASR\graphics\BHDTile4.tm2
	CODTILE5.ASR\graphics\BHDTile5.tm2
	CODTILE6.ASR\graphics\BHDTile6.tm2
	CODTILE7.ASR\graphics\CODTile7.dds  What a wasteful way to store four small 32×32 textures.
	CODTILE8.ASR\graphics\BHDTile8.tm2
	CODTILE9.ASR\graphics\CODTile9.tm2

Unused Text

Banned Words

BNDWORDS.ASR contains a list of banned phrases, a leftover from Black Hawk Down. This would have been used in multiplayer, however this game only has a singleplayer campaign.

Default String

As is the case with many games running on the Asura engine, the 1st string is a default placeholder string.

Filename	1st string
AMERICAN.ASR ENGLISH.ASR	This text should not appear in game. This is a bug!
FRENCH.ASR	Ce texte ne devrait pas apparaître dans le jeu. C'est un bug !
ITALIAN.ASR	Questo testo non dovrebbe apparire nel gioco. Questo è un bug!
SPANISH.ASR	Esto no debería aparecer en el juego. ¡Es un error!

On Canadian copies of the game, ENGLISH.ASR is renamed to AMERICAN.ASR, and both ITALIAN.ASR and SPANISH.ASR are absent. BNDWRDS.ASR is still present.

In the menu's text files, there is another default string.

Filename	1st string
MENU_AM.ASR	DEFAULT TEXT WHICH SHOULDN'T EVER BE SEEN...
MENU_FR.ASR	TEXTE PAR DÉFAUT QUI NE DEVRAIT PAS ÊTRE VU...

After this string, both files refer to the game as "Call Of Duty 5" for some reason.
