Koopman (World at War)

"It´s the coral, we're stuck on the--!"

- Pvt. Koopman just before his gruesome fate.

Private Koopman was a Private who took part in the assault on Peleliu, seen only in the level Little Resistance. He is a "fresh faced recruit", being a member of the "new breed" as Cpl. Roebuck described it.

On the way to the island, Koopman seems jumpy and nervous. When your LVT becomes stuck, Koopman looks to see what is wrong, and while trying to tell everyone what the problem is, he is shot in the head by Japanese fire, taking a large portion of the back of his head off and exposing parts of his skull and brain.

Trivia

 * Various soldiers named "Koopman" appear throughout the Call of Duty series, but almost always are of different ranks. Strangely, however, they all have similar faces.
 * After Koopman is killed you can see part of his skull, as well as his brain until your boat is blown up.
 * He is ordered to take 'point' by Sergeant Sullivan before being shot.
