The Original CoD Wasn't Even Mod-Friendly

Long before World at War's fully-fledged mod tools, the very first Call of Duty game ran on the Quake III engine and had barely any modding support at all - a sore point that made World at War's proper Radiant-based SDK feel like a genuine gift to the community.

Toshiya Agata Plays the Japanese Officer

The Japanese Officer heard barking orders throughout the Pacific campaign is voiced by Toshiya Agata, one of the few named Japanese cast members in a game where most enemy dialogue is otherwise handled by a small pool of uncredited voice actors.

The Voice Director Also Ran the French Dub

World at War's voice work was handled through a company called Womb Music under voice director Margaret Tang, and the game even had a full separate French-language voice cast recorded, led by actor Serge Thiriet in the Reznov role for that version.
