Reichstag



The Reichstag or the Reichstag Building is a German building that is located in the city of Berlin and was captured by the Russians during the end of World War II. The Reichstag building was first featured in the computer game in Call of Duty, then in Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS).

In Game
The Reichstag is featured in the original Call of Duty and Call of Duty: World at War. Both times it appears in the last level of these games. In the Call of Duty level, "Berlin", the player must fight his way through the Reichstag and then watch as his comrades place the flag on the roof.

In the Call of Duty: World at War level, "Downfall", players also play in the Reichstag. However, this time the entire level takes place within the building. The player must also play a bigger role in the raising of the flag. The player must pick up the flag from the dead flag carrier and plant it on the balcony. Before he does however, the player is shot by a lone German. Fortunately, Sgt. Revnov comes to the player's aid. Then the player places the flag with his help.

The multiplayer map Dome takes place on the top of the Reichstag.

Trivia

 * The interior of the Reichstag, especially the parliament area, is smaller in Call of Duty, while in Call of Duty: World at War it is much larger. It's also fairly small in Call of Duty: World at War (Nintendo DS).
 * The raising of the Soviet flag is portrayed differently in three different Call of Duty games. Yuri Mavsila raises the flag in Call of Duty, Dimitri Petrenko plants the flag in Call of Duty: World at War, and Private Dimarkurato raises the flag in Call of Duty: World at War DS. This is reconcilible because the Reichstag was briefly lost to the Germans, and another flag planted after its re-capture by the Russians. Also, the initial flag-raising was re-enacted for a picture taken after the battle.
 * A dome that looks like the one on the Reichstag appears behind a building on the Black Ops multiplayer map Berlin Wall.
