Call of Duty 3 was released in 2006 as a World War II first-person shooter, and clips from the series have circulated on soundboards for years as short, shareable effects. This jumpscare clip spread in the same way as the FNAF jumpscare scream, through gaming edits, horror compilations and prank videos where a two-second scare is more useful than a full scene. Its brevity keeps it popular for memes, because it can be dropped into any video without context and still read instantly as a scare.
