Finding Cool Stuff in World at War

It has been pretty damned amazing to hear from fans of W@W as they stumble on some of our more 'hidden' details...things like the Piano on "Asylum", or the ghostly whispers at the shrine in "Makin Raid."

These weren't really placed in the game as 'secrets' per say, but are elements that we layer in to help create an atmosphere. I think its awesome that so many people have not only noticed them, but are now posting lists on the net so others can find them, as well. (EDIT - I would have posted a link here to some of the forum lists, but I didn't get this online fast enough. When i find the links again, I'll post 'em).

The Piano piece in Asylum was composed (and performed) by James McCawley, one of our sound designers here at Treyarch. He did a fantastic job on that piece, so it's great to see he's getting props from the community! I may upload the stereo file so others can hear the higher resolution to it if you all want it.

There are a lot of odd layers in the game...see what you can find!

1.I heard that you hear URA in that big hole cliff thing in dome and it never stops
2.inside a bunker thing theres strange wispers like you hear in the haunted bathroom in the asylum
3.Verruckt has these strange things in the american side(i dont know if they hide zombies in them and shut the door flap or people hide in them)
go into crouch mode and stand very near it and then you hear crys from a baby or a woman(dont know if shes the mother)
4.In the tourter prision in hanger go inside the cell there will be a body and if u stay their long you would hear noises of a american being tourted(i cant comfirm if its a american guy well maybe it was noises from the past tourters)
5.I was looking on a website that is a wiki for every COD series and they said in the temple at banzai if you stand at the doors you could hear a scream they said it could be a nazie zombie scream or a low piched one
