Strange/Creepy Doom Town from Lego Indiana Jones 2
Recently i felt nostlagic for old Lego Games and went down a deep rabbit hole and found many games that i didn't even know existed, and apparently one of my favorites as a kid, Indana Jones, had a sequel. But the most interesting thing about it is the level based around the famous scene of Indiana Jones ending up at the nuclear testing grounds. So, in the level, Indiana ends up at the house full of mannequins, before realizing that he needs to escape before he is gonna turn into a burned marshmallow. But in the level, the house is full of white mannequins, that just motionlessly sit or stand in place. But after the bomb drops and Indie survives the blast, when trying to send a resque signal, Mannequins suddenly come to life and attack you. And it seems that for some reason more mannequins just manifested into the house and changed their poses after the blast.
If you play the level before the bomb drops, you can actually notice the hidden detail, that being Mannequins watching your every move while you try to find solution to the puzzle.

Nuke Town itself is based on real-world model towns made to test nuclear weapons. It's pretty interesting. I found a link talking about it. I guess Doom Town was the actual name of the town.

Also there is a Doom Town in the Crystal Skull movie, from 2007. So "Nuke town" being from Black Ops one doesn't even make sense here, that was like 4 years after this.
