When many of us think of seniors, we see them as quiet retirees who sit in a comfortable armchair and indulge in reading or solving crossword puzzles. Actually, there may be a lot of truth in this, but after all, there is no shortage of elderly people with surprising interests. Among them is a certain 65-year-old who for the last 15 years has been ionately playing Call of Duty: World at War, cranking up amazing results.
The unusual feat of the senior was presented on Reddit by his proud son-in-law. In of this information, the Internet attached a screenshot of his father-in-law's stats in the game. It turns out that during all this time, the avid gamer recorded nearly half a million kills in the network mode of World at War (with just over 294 thousand deaths), of which nearly 20 thousand were headshots.
A considerable discussion arose under the post, during which Internet s began to dwell sentimentally on Call of Duty: World at War. Debuting in 2008, the game introduced several solutions that were improved in subseries such as Black Ops or Modern Warfare. Recall that it was also the first title in the series with a Zombie mode.
As mentioned above, World at War still has active online gameplay. From the data gathered by SteamDB we see that an average of 400-600 people play the game each day on Steam.
Last year, a rumor appeared that Activision was planning to refresh older installments of CoD, including World at War. And although the matter eventually went quiet, many gamers, including the aforementioned 65-year-old, would probably welcome remasters of classic shooters.
