Genius Bonus: The Dies Irae from Mozart's Requiem plays for a bit during the Soviet invasion of Berlin in 'World at War'.There are other options that go well with this as well, particularly trading out Juggernaut for Stopping Power, which due to being a percentage-based increase in power means the MP40 benefits more from it than the other SMGs as well, reaching the point where it's the only SMG in the game that can kill in one headshot. The most common class setup for the MP40 online is Dual Magazines for more firing without having to reload, Juggernaut to be able to withstand more gunfire and explosives, and Steady Aim to already compliment the already great hip fire and you become a walking one-man army capable of slaughtering dozens in close-quarters combat.

All of the SMGs were balanced around taking roughly the same amount of time to kill someone under sustained fire, but what the devs hadn't considered was what that meant for the damage dealt per individual bullet when the MP40 had a noticeably lower rate of fire than the others - whereas the fastest of the SMGs, the PPSh, deals a paltry 22 damage at most because of its extremely high rate of fire, the MP40, firing at less than half the rate, deals almost 60 at best, making it one of the most powerful automatic weapons in the entire series. Game-Breaker: The MP40 SMG, especially on the console versions where the weapon was never nerfed.Banzai Chargers are this as well, as they can kill players in one hit should they be caught off-guard.Japanese soldiers armed with Type-99 Light Machine Guns, especially on Veteran, where they can rip players apart in one burst.The crowning moment though is the final part, where Dimitri, after being wounded by a surviving SS soldier, with Reznov's help, raises the Soviet banner over the Reichstag, complete with Russian soldiers cheering and patriotic music. 'Downfall' for the Russian campaign has the Soviet Forces in Berlin taking down the last major pocket of German resistance in their capital.While it is an on-rails turret level, it is quite fun nontheless due to the atmosphere, story, and especially the music creating a cohesive experience. 'Black Cats' from the American campaign is remembered fondly by players for not only being one of the easiest levels (for starters, there are not grenades being tossed at you, but also for the air and sea combat sequences seen nowhere else in the campaign.
