Cut Content/Call of Duty: World at War

During development of Call of Duty games many things are cut during the process of development. These changes can range from weapons and characters to entire campaign missions and features.

Weapons

• The Bren was cut as only a Create-A-Class image, pickup icon, animations and uncompiled weapon files remain in the Mod Tools. The animations appears to be similar to those of Call of Duty 2
• The Lee-Enfield was originally set to appear in the game however, it was cut. Only the Create-a-Class image, pickup icon, animations and weapon files remained in the Mod Tools. The animations appears to be similar to those of Call of Duty 2
• The Sten only has a Create-a-Class image, pickup icon, animations and uncompiled weapon file remained in the Mod Tools.
• The PPS-43 was originally slated to be in the game but was dropped. The only things remained are a Create-a-Class image and animations and unlike the other cut weapons, it lacks a HUD icon, which suggests that it was dropped in an early stage of development. The animations are the same as those of Call of Duty 2.
