This November will mark the 15-year anniversary of the release ofCall of Duty: World at Warand while there arenot many people still playingWorld at Warthese days, it appears at least one dedicated player has never stopped. The son of this 65-year-old diehard fan recently took to Reddit to show off the incredible in-game statistics that his father has manage to rack up over that time, and they are quite impressive.
Call of Duty: World at Waris the fifth main series entry in theCall of Dutyfranchise, released back in 2008. As the name implies,World at Warreturned the series to its original setting of World War II, after having shaken things up in the previous game,Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Despite facing the tough challenge of following up on one of the most beloved entries in the franchise,World at Warwas positively received by fans and critics alike, and has maintained a dedicated player base for years after its release.

A recent Reddit post from user Jagrbomb on the Gaming subreddit has brought attention to the accomplishments of one of the most devoted of these fans. The post’s title reveals that the user’s 65-year-old father has been playing just one game,World at War,regularly for the past 15 years, accompanied by an image of the man’s in-game statistics. These include some impressive numbers, such as a total kill count of nearly half a million (compared to around 300,000 deaths), and just shy of 20,000 headshots. Amidst ongoingcalls for aWorld at Warremaster, this player’s incredible dedication to the game serves as ample evidence of its enduring popularity.
Examples of such passion forWorld at Warare somewhat less common than for otherCall of Dutygames. Other titles in the series likeBlack Opsand the originalModern Warfarehave received far more attention in the years since their release, but the legacy ofWorld at Warendures in the maps, game modes, and features it has passed down to later games in the series. Most notably,World at Waris the firstCall of Dutygame to include theiconicCall of DutyZombiesmode.
While this man’s persistent love ofWorld at Waris particularly remarkable, he is far from the only player who remains fond of the 2008 classic. Many fans want even more such elements, likethe campaign co-op feature inWorld at War,to make their way into modern installments, suggesting a strong enthusiasm for the game among fans even 15 years after release.
