Played the PS2 releases and the last 2. EA killed Medal of Honor the same way it killed DeadSpace. They interfered with the campaign and tried to force coop / multiplayer modes
Frontline, easily. The level design, the Michael Giacchino score, and the gameplay were the best. Also, it was one of the first shooters I remember seeing my Dad play
I've played like four or five of them. Only finished Airborne and Pacific Assault. You should have mentioned PA, released in '04, because it IS the BEST from the franchise. Good graphics, good storyline, hardly any lag or bugs, and overall enjoyable.
Rising Sun at least got multiplayer. Maybe with limited locations, but still better than Frontline. Black released by EA has the same problem, linear single player game isn't enough for long.
Same, I owned Frontline on ps2, and my friend owned Rising Sun on classic xbox. We would swap consoles for a week, and we would play each other's collections of exclusives, or just games that the other didn't owned. I loved Halo, Halo 2, Conker live and reloaded, and he loved Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank, and of course, God of War (I still have my copy of GoW 2). Oh I miss those times.
@@robokastbut I most surprised by the lack of mention about MoH: Frontline! The original PS2 release was held back by framerate issues (but it's not a problem with Xbox, GameCube and especially PS3 remaster of the game), but I thought this game was great! Not nearly close as original MoH, but still.
I remember jamming to the Medal of Honor: Frontline intro whilst on the PS3. I loved this game growing up because my grandparents used to play it with me and they were WW2 vets. I still miss those days, wearing PJs, snowed in by a blizzard, and playing games with my grandpa.
not all of us got that chance but that is awesome. my grandparents on the other hand hated games, tv in general. they were vets too. i think i understand why they didnt want to play em with me.
MoH Airborne is one of my favorite shooters, and it's super underrated. The air drop mechanics alone make it VERY replayable & fun. I also loved Rising Sun, Frontline, & Underground as a kid
I quite enjoy Airborne to this day. It makes sense that COD4 MW buried it but since every gps for the next decade tried to copy MW, the uniqueness of MoH Airborne holds up well.
Literally just finished another playthrough of Airborne today. Its by far my fav MoH and I play it probably once or twice a year. What I wouldn't give for more levels. Or a Titanfall esc multiplayer with a mix of NPC and player combat
I'll have to give it another try.. everyone says they love it, but I remember playing it a year or two after it came out and getting bored with it really quick lol
That was a killer USP, because it meant the levels were completely the opposite of what COD and MOH had established - linear corridors. Instead, they were mini sandboxes, and even though the maps weren't even semi-open world scale, they did make the battles feel epic. Rather than just seeing a bunch of NPCs run past you in a scripted sequence to imply that they're going off to tackle some objective you're not, you could join them.
Why no mention of MoH Frontline? The iconic menu music, great campaign, amazing D-DAY landing sequence copied by EVERY FPS since not to mention the LAST game Spielberg actually was involved with...rumor has it he was killing 2 birds with a single stone: 1. Band of Brothers promo. 2. Saving private ryan. But still it definitely was a strong point in the series what let it down was the MP which was handled exclusively by...EA...
That Normandy beach landing sequel was the best of the series. You really got a sense of just how GD terrifying it was for the poor guys that wre there.
For me the main carry of Medal of Honor *is the music. The music composer and sound design team is the true MVP.* The music and sound is what elevated Medal of Honor, because beside the sound and music, gameplay is nothing special. ( Standard FPS gameplay. Go from A to B, and wreck everything on your way with guns) But because of that, it's also Medal of Honor's Achilles Heel. Once other shooter start having memorable and epic music, MOH can't keep up.
And Medal of Honor’s composer, Michael Giacchino, has gone on to be called the “modern John Williams” by some music critics. The man’s brilliant, and he’s composed some of my favorite video game, TV, and film scores. You like the music in Pixar films, the Planet of the Apes reboots, the new Star Treks, Mission:Impossible, and The Batman? All that guy.
another reason for medel of honor at least for me was. it was on the PS1/PS2 it took our family a long time untill we had an actuall decent computer we could play on. before we had the PS2 to play on and COD/Battlefield was never relesed on the PS2 so MoH it is.
*cough* Halo On a side note, it's interesting how no shooter dared to try and compete ever since. I heard MOH European Assault's theme used in a documentary about YANKEE STADIUM
>small passion project game >gets bought out by major AAA studio >pump out a ton of uninspired games in a short period of time >competitors see and market becomes extremely oversaturated >fade into irrelevance >repeat
@@Stephan5916it's really depressing how many games have gone out like this. Another great example is guitar hero, surely releasing 10 games in one year had nothing to do with its downfall😂
Medal of honor 2010 was probably the one of the most polished multiplayer games ever made. The Killstreaks were truly devastating and not easy to get. The maps were very well designed for the modes being played and the guns felt so good to use. I haven’t played many games since that I had nearly as much fun playing.
A brief history of my experience with Medal of Honor: 1999: Fell in love with the original. 2002-2004: Played hours of PvP as part of the [PMOH] Guild formed on the old Planet Medal of Honor web forums. 2004: Moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. 2005: Walked into my first Hollywood acting class. Heard a very familiar voice. Realized my teacher was Morgan Sheppard who voiced Colonel Stanley Hargrove, the narrator of the first several MoH games. 2011: Got the opportunity to audition for Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Won the role of Navy SEAL “Tick”. 2012: Got to play a game from one of my favorite franchises and hear my own voice coming out of it. Good review, RoboKast. I think you were firm but fair.
They NEED to bring this series back especially considering they made their 2010 game about the early war GWOT, and then warfighter about the “global” part of it. There’s so many things they could do, continue the story of the first game or make something new entirely and it could compete with cod
Yes, they could still do something with that.... it´s a part of modern history that hasn´t been really touched by other franchises. On the other hand: With ongoing wars all over the world, including the middle east, i am not so shure if that setting would be good right now. The backslash could be pretty hard, from fans, from the public, from religious groups.... I guess they would at least keep that in mind when they are making decisions. When COD 4 came out we were in a way more peacefull state of the world and what´s even more important i guess is: It was before ISIS showed the world how hard a reaction to media that´s critizising you religion and culture can be: I really think that one of the reasons behind all the future-themed fps-games right now is the fact that they are a safe bet regarding to politics (besides the fact that you can do basically everything with them). But yeah: If someone uses that setting, it could take off.... when the timing is right. Let COD and Battlefield use the future and WW II, while Medal of Honor or whatever other name they would like to stamp on it, can use the well told original Medal of Honor formula and take the war on terror as a setting. As long as they stay honest and respectfull towards culture and history, it could work out.
Yup, I actually really really enjoyed both the campaign and MP from the MOH reboot. I didn’t play Warfighter (the second reboot), but that had more to do with my life than the game (I just didn’t play or pay any attention to games from basically 2011 to 2020) Another crack at GWOT would be pretty cool, or maybe a look at WW1 through MOH eyes. In any case, something with a great, long, engaging single player with great gunplay and mechanics is something I need. Especially done in a realistic way.
@@joesheridan95I agree with all of that up until you said we were in a peaceful time when CoD4 came out. We were still in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention Libya. That’s why CoD4 didn’t get backlash for killing “Terrorists” that happen to be in the Middle East. We where at war.
@@grantf8719 Yeah.. i meant that as: "relatively peacefull". You Americans were still in Iraq and half the western world, including us germans, were still in Afghanistan. It´s never really peacefull on this world, but it was a lot calmer then it it for the last few years. The original Modern Warfares came out before the start of hostilities in Ukraine in 2014, before North Korea was able to at least test nuclear weapons, China was a lot less capable.... we didn´t have the Terror of ISIS yet.... and i could go on and on and on. In 2007 there were mostly the sadly never ending civil- and drug wars threwout africa and southern america and those doomed occupations/ peace missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. I really wish there would come a time when we really talk about a peacefull world, but that just doesn´t works out with out species. And i also agree with your last point: Having active and recent history and events showing terrorists and regimes from the middle east was defenitely something that made it more easy.
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was definitely peak Medal of Honor. What caught me by surprise, though, is how you mentioned Call of Duty 'introduced' new gametypes like Search & Destroy, while if you look at it, it's in fact the same idea as Objective-Based-Match in Medal of Honor Allied Assault where you have an attacking and defending team played a round a 'bomb defusal' scenario. And that is if you only look at Medal of Honor and Call of Duty titles. The gamemode was already a thing in the early days of the Counter-Strike mod which was thriving before Call of Duty even saw the light of day. As far as the success of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault goes... the game really got their big downfall when a competitive platform called ClanBase seized to exist. However, even now in 2024 there is still a small competitive community keeping Medal of Honor: Allied Assault somewhat 'alive'. Nowhere near the activity it once saw, but it's a clear indication of how much the game was loved.
Everything EA touches decays and becomes a shadow of their former selves. Then again, it's not like COD or battlefield are in a better position. Still, What a shame...
Nobody talks about the Arma/Operation Flashpoint franchise. Although it's a less casual experience, the first Flashpoint was so ahead of its time that some modern milsims still have the same mechanics, and even Arma itself didn't need to change that much. I'm currently replaying it and i'm very surprised about all the things it was capable of in the year 2001. Even before Call of Duty. It does some things that Call of Duty could never do.
As someone who swapped to CoD after 2 released and hung on all the way until MW2, the MoH reboot was SUCH a breath of fresh air in the multiplayer realm but just never caught on for whatever reason. It may not have been revolutionary, but it had the gunplay feeling of Battlefield with the small compact maps like CoD. It was honestly such a solid crossover of the two, but people just never picked it up. To this day, I still wish I could jump in and play matches. CoD is just too ridiculous nowadays. I don't want to have to account for some 14 year old jump spin no-scoping me after working 12 hours of work, lol, and Battlefield has all but lost its soul. Going back and playing BF1/2 and then anything beyond is such a sad experience knowing what could have been. That leaves a hole in the military fps realm for older folks that MoH could fill pretty perfectly nowadays. Hell Let Loose exists, and while im definitely interested, you just cant compare a realistic team based shooter to CoD or BF.
@@brandondavis4306 Couldn't agree more. I've got nothing negative to say about HLL, but when you say there aren't any good, serious shooters on the market nowadays (CoD, Battlefield, MoH), you get absolutely inundated with people telling you HLL exists like you can compare the two. HLL is decidedly not "run and gun" so comparing them is stupid to begin with.
@CoreyC225 and I see where MOH could make a return. My friends and I could resurrect it, and make it a good game again. I would put it in Vietnam and have it follow seals conducting covert missions in loas and Cambodia.
@@CoreyC225 If you really want to play with a more mature group of players there are a couple of servers for the Arma series, one such server is run by a literal MACVSOG guy and the entire campaign is based on various offensives and SpecOps during Vietnam so that's one option. They don't play it too seriously like an AS MilSim IRL cause they know at the end of the day it's just a game. HLL is a decent game if you're playing with people you know and can run through a game with, it's still a struggle to a point but you can have fun with it. There a re a few other games but most of them again are either early access beta or a DLC for an existing game. I have a lot of the same issues as you with lobbies as The younger crowd has a different play style than I do and can get confrontational as I play at a more tactical pace than just running around the map "jump spin no-scoping", They get pretty angry when they end up like Ron Pearlman in Enemy At the Gates from a couple hundred meters away lol.
@@johnbrown8570 Probably not even played them. I might be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure BF1942 was released _before_ COD, to similarly critical acclaim. He made it sound like BF is a newer contender entering the ring. Also, does BF1942 even have a campaign? I know Vietnam and BF2 don't...
@@marioprawirosudiro73011942 came out almost a year before cod, no it didn't have a campaign just multiplayer and large scale ai battles for single player, same with 2142. I think I still have the complete set for bf 1942 on pc with discs and the expansions are still some of the coolest I have seen in a game
I used to have so much fun on the 2010 & 2012 Medal of Honor mp. It always felt like a real experience, I thought it was a simpler version of battlefield. I miss Medal of Honor
No mention of the fact that MoH launched around the same time as another small speilberg project called saving private Ryan 😂 The Normandy landing level was basically 'Spr the game'
Who can forget the Allied Assault theme its the definition of beautiful, I also remember at times just not playing vanguard , just putting the disc on and watching /listening the menu, seeing the planes pass by between flak and clouds The first FPS i ever played was underground , its was scary af at least as a kid , all levels at night ,most times not seeing the enemy, but it special for sure , it would be cool see another one with BF being well modern battlefield and cod needs some competition .
Loved medal of honor Rising Sun as a kid. I remember being mesmerized by the opening Attack on Pearl Harbor level on Gamecube. It ignited my love for history (with Rome total war). For that I am forever grateful to Medal of Honor.
15:12 : A brief 12 hours campaign VR spin off with lots of weapons, missions, scenery from D-Day to Norwegian mountain, made by the Medal of honor Allied assault director from the 2001 studio and music from composer Michael Giachinno. Come on, this game was way better than the two modern MoH, it deserves a little bit more than a tiny comment.
Was supposed to revive the franchise and surpass COD but failed because they released it in VR instead of a more mainstream platform. It failed in being a VR game with almost zero interactivity in its environment, constant "cut to black" transition everytime character move in cutscenes, limited weapon handling freedom, and overall janky mechanics. It quickly faded from popularity because there are better VR games at the time and most MOH fans don't use VR.
It was very cringey though. That advisor they hired for the original games would have laughed the devs out of the room. The d day mission was a joke where one of your squad mates was a 16-17 year old british teen with glasses storming the beaches of normandy in the first wave dressed in us army ranger uniform. That game was on par with cod vanguard on terms of it historical inaccuracies. I couldn't take the game seriously personally.
Ea should have stuck to the ww2 setting. Ideally they would make a new medal of honour for ps5 where the protagonist is a British soldier who joins the special operations executive. Survive dunkirk, help defend norway, fight alongside the desert rats, escape from a german castle, aid the french resistance, liberate italy, parachute into holland, infiltrate the siegfried line, and defeat the nazi big boss
or even gone to a completely different setting like korea (no game has ever been there and if done right would be alot of fun). or do a deep dive into vietnam that has also just been touched on.
@@Merlaut715 You mean the WWII American setting. A British soldier would be fighting on different fronts and would have more interesting weapons. Not just the standard issue Bren, Sten and Smellie but also the Welrod, silenced Delisle carbine, Boys AT rifle, and Piat mortar
What a stupid and cheesy fucking idea lmao Not to mention an utter rape of history. I'm all for a game about the British, but dude, you just described the most Hollywood concept ever.
Medal of honor allied assault and its expansions are still alive, if you get Mohaa revival you get the 3 games and multiplayer patches, there's still servers and players, mohaa is the more populated one but we need more on breakthough too, get some tdm servers back to being popularized on there, or rifle only countdown. Breakthough mainly is freezetag objective and a few others. Mohaa has a tdm that always has players and some others. But I miss breakthough tdm. In my opinion there is nothing wrong with the 3 Mohaa games, the multiplayer is pretty good. Graphics wize I think it still holds up
Frontline was my first ever game. It alongside Killzone were games that introduced me to gaming. I still remember playing them with my Dad when I was like 5. Frontline was particularily beautiful to me. My dad had struggled to beat the mission multiple times, and I just remember watching him dying over and over. Eventually he looked at me and started showing me how to play, soon enough together we were able to beat the level. That level ended up being Arnhem Knights. Everything about that level was and still is special to me, the music was beautifully sad and calming. The objective was straight forever, save as many troops and find your contact. I never understood it as a kid, but after learning about the whole story of Arnhem during school, it brought an even greater meaning to that level. My dad nears 70, I just turned 24. Between all the games I played with him, whether it be Halo CE, Killzone, Bad Company, Medal of Honor 2010, or the last game I ever played with him, MW2, it's Medal of Honor Frontline that is most special to me. Maybe one of these days I'll replay Frontline with him again.
I think what played into Medal of Honor’s fall from popularity is simply that it never really managed to expand beyond its formula or setting. The online multiplayer played a large role in keeping Call of Duty and Battlefield relevant, despite the issues that they had. And they managed to expand in ways that Medal of Honor never did, like changing time periods and wars. It’s sad to see Medal of Honor fall from the public eye and I do believe that EA played a large part in its downfall (because this is EA), but nothing truly lasts forever and the franchise had run its course. All I can say is, thank you to the creators of Medal of Honor for giving us something great.
Medal of Honor Allied Assault had a great multiplayer community. For me it was specifically Spearhead. I played that game online for years. Theres even still a small community of people who still play it.
Vanguard and Airborne were amazing, but sadly no multiplayer to my knowledge, but I was never into it myself. I loved the airborne idea on top of the upgrades and awards and different routes.
Medal of Honor (2010) destroyed me. I had just got back from AFG from a year of combat and the end of MoH had me in tears. I thought it was very well done and the story captured a lot of the drama.
I played allied assault when i was a kid. My dad had bought it for the PC and i used to sneak down to the basement at night in the pitch black to play that game. Honestly one of the best FPS games ive ever played and my dad says the same. That old HP laptop and that game lives in my memory, such an immersive game.
Excuse me, Medal of Honor Frontline and rising Sun were my favorite games growing up and they looked far better than the 90s graphic games that you spent the entire first half of the video on. To this day, the Pearl Harbor scene in that game gives me goosebumps. I was born in 94, too young to experience three graphics at their worst so thank God for that.
Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.
I remember playing the first Medal of Honor in my first year of college. My roomate had one of those transparent iMacs that I would plug the PS1 into and it looked and sounded great compared to my crap CRT. Most games I finish the campaign or story and move on... but with MOH I was obsessed with getting the best ratings and unlocking the medals. There was nothing else like it, especially on console. Great fun times with this game! Sad that it ended on such a low note. Thanks for the great video! Awesome stuff.
I liked that Medal of Honor in 2010 didn't handhold you to the next objective it felt like you were a spec-ops operator and had to search the area to find your objective as for Warfighter it didn't feel like a sequel it felt more like an expansion to the 2010 game as it did pick up where that one left off. Also the MP in the 2010 MoH games was pretty fun I enjoyed it
I had a good friend. Tell me play medal of honor in the 90’s and I did and I loved it. It was awesome. Looking back. I can’t believe, that was the start of something much bigger. Great video Brother.
As a kid I invested many hours on the PSP version of Medal Of Honor Heros. Online was really a blast back then. Also have good memories of playing against other kids on the bus. I played a lot of the MOH titles on PS2, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. I honestly really loved War Fighter, and it sucks to hear how much of a flop it really was.
I was a kid when medal of honor first came our. My grandfather had a PS1 (I didn't yet) and he had beaten the game, multiple times before I played it. What an amazing game for the time it was, and I never played the sequels due to COD releases. Spielberg showed us what storytelling and game play could be, and thanks to him, we have all of these franchises. I'll never forget the OG, playing with my grandfather when he was still alive. Some of the best times of my life.
It's almost heartbreaking to see MoH play catchup during the golden age of CoD. Loved playing MoHH and MoHH2 on my psp though, I made it to the top 100 on the leaderboard at one point even with all the hackers around
We used to play Allied Assault and Pacific Assault back in University. But then we switched to COD 1 and then COD 2. My favorite FPS to date is still Battlefield Bad Company 2. The single player was good, but that game was just soooo much fun to play online.
No dreamworks did not work on Allied Assault. They began work on Frontline right after the first MOH game shipped while leaving a small team working on Underground.
Medal of honor European assault was an incredible game growing up. You got a squad of three men on any front you could command and give location markers to go too.
Ok I don’t know where to start… I began playing MOH Underground on the PS1. Best game ever you would say at the time… Then came Medal of Honor Allied Assault… I remember having a PENTIUM 3 computer which couldn’t do the job 😂 Pentium 4 did if I am correct. My mom came back from work and got me the MOHAA game. It were multiple disks you had to install one at a time. Like you had 3 disks… disk 1 installed it to 33% (please insert disk 2) and it went on to 66% (please insert disk 3) which installed the game. That’s fckn nostalgia bruh. Who TF had 3 disks at that time to install a fckn game😂. Anyway.. I grew up with multiplayer MOH, which I think did nothing wrong. It was so much fun. After that Counter-Strike took basically the whole FPS genre multiplayer over. COD was WW2 related but CS took over the lot. Good memories, fun memories, wish I could go back in time! Cheers, good effort on this vid❤
My cousins got me into Medal of Honor Frontline and then years later with Airborne (which was super fun with the idea of dropping into different areas/zones)
Great video i wondered what happened to this game it was one of my favorites. i still have it packed in a box somewhere.A video on command and conquer would be awesome. I did not see one on your page.
MOH was basically my introduction to FPS games. And of course COD popularised it by brand recognition. My personal favourite MOH games were Underground and Frontline.
The crazy thing about Medal of Honor on PS1 was there wasn’t anything else like it at the time. It made it unique. The enemy animations were next level for the time. The mission briefings using real WW2 footage were also memorable
I've only ever had the first MoH game on the ps1 and found the enemies being "smart" enough to find cover, run away from grenades and not coming dead straight at me, but waiting around corners for an ambush was pretty cool. Also all the WWII style war posters during the loading screens was a nice touch.
Medal of Honour European Assault on PS2 and Medal of Honour Breakthrough on PC were my childhood. I still remember the old good time playing with my friends at the Internet Cafe for hours.
I got Allied Assault in college and played it on my old Wii. What really surprised me about the game was how lonely it was. After mission 3 I practically never saw another allied soldier again. It honestly felt like Half Life 2 in places where I'm running across an arena trying desperately to find a health kit because everyone was shooting at me. It was pretty fun.
The original MOH games really got me into learning about WW2, especially the train levels on Frontline, because I've always been a train kinda guy. Helping this interest in the second world war was the fact that while I was playing these, I was also learning the Anne Frank story in school... Best times in my personal interest in history!
Me and my childhood buddy stayed up and played Medal of Honor: Frontline on the hardest difficulty and beat it in one night. Probably the last night we hung out like that ever again.
Rising sun was my first medal of honor game. Absolutely loved it. Then got a copy of European assault from my mom's ex boyfriend and really enjoyed it. Can still remember some of the sound effects of both those games. Medal of honor 2010 blew me away as well. The guns sounded awesome and it was interesting to see a real war that was happening at the time be shown. That mission in the mountains with he army rangers getting over ran was so incredible. The learning the real world battle of the couple of missions made me appreciate it a whole lot more. Plus the multi-player of 2010 Medal of honor was honestly really really fun. War fighter I enjoyed as well. The campaign wasn't as good as 2010 but still enjoyed it and the multi-player I played with a couple of my buddies wayyy back in the day. Miss those days and that friend group so much. Remember coming back to my hometown for a week once and me and my two cousins played the hell out of 2010 moh campaign. Remember getting woken up early early to go back up north and was crying so hard because I didn't want to leave my cousins and go back up north. Remember my cousin hugging me tight telling me it's gonna be okay, that night/early morning has always stuck with me. I eventually moved back down south and living at my grandparents house while waiting for my dad to move down south. Man, those were some good days, and not just because of nostalgia. I was still depressed but it was a different kind of depression. Fell in love with video games more than ever and was obsessed with reading and laughing with my friends and cousins. I'll always remember that time in m life
I played Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (MoHAA), to include the demo, from 1999 until 2011 when my friends decided enough was enough. The game was so much fun and was so good with the online ladders, etc. It was massively smaller than the Counter Strike community but brought similar competitive playing. I remember even in 2007 doing ladder matches on WorldOGL and doing scrimmages against rival clans. Just when my clan was starting to lose interest, Pacific came out, which tried to bring back the MoHAA feels. However, it failed miserably with optimization, despite looking great and having some cool maps. Its been about 13 years since I have touched MoHAA and I am sure some people still play today. Such good times!
MOHAA is still my favourite fps of all time. Spent thousands of hours playing it online and at LANs. Still an amazing game today when you can find a good server.
Medal of Honor: Vanguard was the very first game I ever owned & played. I got it as part of a PS2 pack. Me and my brothers would sit around the TV for hours and try to beat missions. The excitement we all got when one of us beat a mission EVERYONE tried beating is a feeling I really miss.

Played the PS2 releases and the last 2. EA killed Medal of Honor the same way it killed DeadSpace. They interfered with the campaign and tried to force coop / multiplayer modes
Frontline, easily. The level design, the Michael Giacchino score, and the gameplay were the best. Also, it was one of the first shooters I remember seeing my Dad play
I've played like four or five of them. Only finished Airborne and Pacific Assault. You should have mentioned PA, released in '04, because it IS the BEST from the franchise. Good graphics, good storyline, hardly any lag or bugs, and overall enjoyable.
Frontline hands down.
The first one on PS1 and it's an all-time favorite for me
Rising sun and Frontline were my childhood
🤝🏼
Rising Sun at least got multiplayer. Maybe with limited locations, but still better than Frontline. Black released by EA has the same problem, linear single player game isn't enough for long.
Same homie!
Same, medal of honor Airborne is my favorite though, just due to how fun the multiplayer was
Same, I owned Frontline on ps2, and my friend owned Rising Sun on classic xbox.
We would swap consoles for a week, and we would play each other's collections of exclusives, or just games that the other didn't owned.
I loved Halo, Halo 2, Conker live and reloaded, and he loved Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank, and of course, God of War (I still have my copy of GoW 2).
Oh I miss those times.
Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault was never mentioned here. I really liked it
Yeah, I played that as a kid. From what I remember, it was really fun.
Great game, one of the best in the series!
I feel like no one ever mentions that one. It sucks that it was a PC exclusive but it is without a doubt one of my favorite games ever!
@starkiller6856 it would never have worked on consoles of the time imo.
@@robokastbut I most surprised by the lack of mention about MoH: Frontline! The original PS2 release was held back by framerate issues (but it's not a problem with Xbox, GameCube and especially PS3 remaster of the game), but I thought this game was great! Not nearly close as original MoH, but still.
Allied Assault’s storming of the beach at Normandy was so intense!!! I miss this series, some seriously great maps and gameplay.
For a game it was madness
I still have a memory of it from my childhood. It was truly iconic and brutal at the same time.
I remember jamming to the Medal of Honor: Frontline intro whilst on the PS3. I loved this game growing up because my grandparents used to play it with me and they were WW2 vets. I still miss those days, wearing PJs, snowed in by a blizzard, and playing games with my grandpa.
Sounds like a true memory tbh
PS3? It Came out on GameCube and PS2
Literally was about to write the same. The music brings me to tears; reminds me of dad. First war game he bought me.
not all of us got that chance but that is awesome. my grandparents on the other hand hated games, tv in general. they were vets too.
i think i understand why they didnt want to play em with me.
I used to play Mario on original NES with my grandma and grandpa
MoH Airborne is one of my favorite shooters, and it's super underrated. The air drop mechanics alone make it VERY replayable & fun. I also loved Rising Sun, Frontline, & Underground as a kid
I quite enjoy Airborne to this day. It makes sense that COD4 MW buried it but since every gps for the next decade tried to copy MW, the uniqueness of MoH Airborne holds up well.
Literally just finished another playthrough of Airborne today. Its by far my fav MoH and I play it probably once or twice a year. What I wouldn't give for more levels. Or a Titanfall esc multiplayer with a mix of NPC and player combat
I'll have to give it another try.. everyone says they love it, but I remember playing it a year or two after it came out and getting bored with it really quick lol
man a fricken sucked at those air drops ;-;
That was a killer USP, because it meant the levels were completely the opposite of what COD and MOH had established - linear corridors. Instead, they were mini sandboxes, and even though the maps weren't even semi-open world scale, they did make the battles feel epic. Rather than just seeing a bunch of NPCs run past you in a scripted sequence to imply that they're going off to tackle some objective you're not, you could join them.
Why no mention of MoH Frontline? The iconic menu music, great campaign, amazing D-DAY landing sequence copied by EVERY FPS since not to mention the LAST game Spielberg actually was involved with...rumor has it he was killing 2 birds with a single stone: 1. Band of Brothers promo.
2. Saving private ryan.
But still it definitely was a strong point in the series what let it down was the MP which was handled exclusively by...EA...
Exactly, omitting Frontline and these points when discussing MOH is a complete and total f up.
Sitting here thinking the exact same thing. This is when the series died. Rising sun was garbage following this.
That Normandy beach landing sequel was the best of the series. You really got a sense of just how GD terrifying it was for the poor guys that wre there.
@CleptoXIII rising sun was a decent game...but yeah definitely a weaker title
I'm thinking exactly the same thing
Another EA-caused downfall
Yuuup
Yea I’m still mad About NCAA march madness
Then they bought Battlefield and ruined them 😂
For me the main carry of Medal of Honor *is the music. The music composer and sound design team is the true MVP.* The music and sound is what elevated Medal of Honor, because beside the sound and music, gameplay is nothing special. ( Standard FPS gameplay. Go from A to B, and wreck everything on your way with guns)
But because of that, it's also Medal of Honor's Achilles Heel. Once other shooter start having memorable and epic music, MOH can't keep up.
And Medal of Honor’s composer, Michael Giacchino, has gone on to be called the “modern John Williams” by some music critics. The man’s brilliant, and he’s composed some of my favorite video game, TV, and film scores. You like the music in Pixar films, the Planet of the Apes reboots, the new Star Treks, Mission:Impossible, and The Batman? All that guy.
another reason for medel of honor at least for me was.
it was on the PS1/PS2 it took our family a long time untill we had an actuall decent computer we could play on.
before we had the PS2 to play on and COD/Battlefield was never relesed on the PS2 so MoH it is.
Michael Giacchino, a film legend at that point.
*cough* Halo
On a side note, it's interesting how no shooter dared to try and compete ever since. I heard MOH European Assault's theme used in a documentary about YANKEE STADIUM
Agreed! The music mess beautiful and epic and really immersed you in each level

@@Stephan5916it's really depressing how many games have gone out like this. Another great example is guitar hero, surely releasing 10 games in one year had nothing to do with its downfall😂
Profit>creation
I think the only winner here was Spielberg and his large cheque from selling the franchise.
Honestly, yeah. Pretty much. But I will take oversaturation over monopoly anyday (looking at you, Madden).
Medal of Honor was a good series, sucked to see it go the way it did.
I know especially when it was the COD of it's day
I agree with you. My first introduction to the series was a copy of metal of honor Frontline, purchased from a neighbors garage sale.
@@zachlagrange4999METAL OF HONOR? 😂
Not surprised at all. Since it was under AE ofcourse 😏
Feel the same way about socom
Medal of honor 2010 was probably the one of the most polished multiplayer games ever made. The Killstreaks were truly devastating and not easy to get. The maps were very well designed for the modes being played and the guns felt so good to use. I haven’t played many games since that I had nearly as much fun playing.
I agree
The beginning of Rising Sun is unforgettable I'll give it that. Skyrocketed my obsession with war as a kid because of it.
The sinking of the Arizona in that scene is singed into my mind
A brief history of my experience with Medal of Honor:
1999: Fell in love with the original.
2002-2004: Played hours of PvP as part of the [PMOH] Guild formed on the old Planet Medal of Honor web forums.
2004: Moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting.
2005: Walked into my first Hollywood acting class. Heard a very familiar voice. Realized my teacher was Morgan Sheppard who voiced Colonel Stanley Hargrove, the narrator of the first several MoH games.
2011: Got the opportunity to audition for Medal of Honor: Warfighter. Won the role of Navy SEAL “Tick”.
2012: Got to play a game from one of my favorite franchises and hear my own voice coming out of it.
Good review, RoboKast. I think you were firm but fair.
GG bro
Now they’re killing battlefield
Battlefield hasn’t put anything out worth a crap since Bad Company 2.
@@Blacklt1birdBattlefield 3 online was top notch back in 2012. Being able to fly planes and drive tanks online were groundbreaking.
@@Blacklt1bird Battlefield 1 was phenomenal
Battlefield 2 modders to the rescue
This you could do in Battlefield 1942.
So THIS Game was Groundbreaking.
They NEED to bring this series back especially considering they made their 2010 game about the early war GWOT, and then warfighter about the “global” part of it. There’s so many things they could do, continue the story of the first game or make something new entirely and it could compete with cod
Yes, they could still do something with that.... it´s a part of modern history that hasn´t been really touched by other franchises. On the other hand: With ongoing wars all over the world, including the middle east, i am not so shure if that setting would be good right now. The backslash could be pretty hard, from fans, from the public, from religious groups.... I guess they would at least keep that in mind when they are making decisions. When COD 4 came out we were in a way more peacefull state of the world and what´s even more important i guess is: It was before ISIS showed the world how hard a reaction to media that´s critizising you religion and culture can be: I really think that one of the reasons behind all the future-themed fps-games right now is the fact that they are a safe bet regarding to politics (besides the fact that you can do basically everything with them).
But yeah: If someone uses that setting, it could take off.... when the timing is right. Let COD and Battlefield use the future and WW II, while Medal of Honor or whatever other name they would like to stamp on it, can use the well told original Medal of Honor formula and take the war on terror as a setting. As long as they stay honest and respectfull towards culture and history, it could work out.
Yup, I actually really really enjoyed both the campaign and MP from the MOH reboot. I didn’t play Warfighter (the second reboot), but that had more to do with my life than the game (I just didn’t play or pay any attention to games from basically 2011 to 2020) Another crack at GWOT would be pretty cool, or maybe a look at WW1 through MOH eyes. In any case, something with a great, long, engaging single player with great gunplay and mechanics is something I need. Especially done in a realistic way.
@@joesheridan95I agree with all of that up until you said we were in a peaceful time when CoD4 came out. We were still in Iraq and Afghanistan, not to mention Libya. That’s why CoD4 didn’t get backlash for killing “Terrorists” that happen to be in the Middle East. We where at war.
@@grantf8719 Yeah.. i meant that as: "relatively peacefull". You Americans were still in Iraq and half the western world, including us germans, were still in Afghanistan. It´s never really peacefull on this world, but it was a lot calmer then it it for the last few years. The original Modern Warfares came out before the start of hostilities in Ukraine in 2014, before North Korea was able to at least test nuclear weapons, China was a lot less capable.... we didn´t have the Terror of ISIS yet.... and i could go on and on and on.
In 2007 there were mostly the sadly never ending civil- and drug wars threwout africa and southern america and those doomed occupations/ peace missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
I really wish there would come a time when we really talk about a peacefull world, but that just doesn´t works out with out species.
And i also agree with your last point: Having active and recent history and events showing terrorists and regimes from the middle east was defenitely something that made it more easy.
Rip rabbit
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault was definitely peak Medal of Honor. What caught me by surprise, though, is how you mentioned Call of Duty 'introduced' new gametypes like Search & Destroy, while if you look at it, it's in fact the same idea as Objective-Based-Match in Medal of Honor Allied Assault where you have an attacking and defending team played a round a 'bomb defusal' scenario.
And that is if you only look at Medal of Honor and Call of Duty titles. The gamemode was already a thing in the early days of the Counter-Strike mod which was thriving before Call of Duty even saw the light of day.
As far as the success of Medal of Honor: Allied Assault goes... the game really got their big downfall when a competitive platform called ClanBase seized to exist. However, even now in 2024 there is still a small competitive community keeping Medal of Honor: Allied Assault somewhat 'alive'. Nowhere near the activity it once saw, but it's a clear indication of how much the game was loved.
Allied assault was created by Inifinity Ward devs when they were initially part of EA - it’s a piece of information missing from this documentary
Us 90s kids see MOH being the birth giver of COD, BIA, and Battlefield! Thanks for the nostalgia 👍
Everything EA touches decays and becomes a shadow of their former selves.
Then again, it's not like COD or battlefield are in a better position.
Still, What a shame...
Medal of honor would have survived till now if they didn't release moh firefighter in a buggy state. This game still isn't fixed
Also you have to account for COD gaining so much momentum in terms of innovation
@robokast yeah but i think that the story was decent. I just couldn't progress that much due to game breaking bugs
I still miss playing the multiplayer even if it was all buggy
@@alwayssmacked7186me too! I loved unlocking milsim operators to use online. wish more games had that as the customization instead
You mean Warfighter, right? I don't remember any fire hoses in the game.
lol "Took part in the production of ET" and "went well" two sentences I would not dare put together (yeah but "The Dig" went well I get it)
Only came here for this. ET caused like a gaming bust 😂
@@the15minutegamer
Maybe, but I actually liked the ET game.
Nobody talks about the Arma/Operation Flashpoint franchise. Although it's a less casual experience, the first Flashpoint was so ahead of its time that some modern milsims still have the same mechanics, and even Arma itself didn't need to change that much.
I'm currently replaying it and i'm very surprised about all the things it was capable of in the year 2001. Even before Call of Duty. It does some things that Call of Duty could never do.
Frontlines still remains one of my favorite medals of honor growing up
As someone who swapped to CoD after 2 released and hung on all the way until MW2, the MoH reboot was SUCH a breath of fresh air in the multiplayer realm but just never caught on for whatever reason. It may not have been revolutionary, but it had the gunplay feeling of Battlefield with the small compact maps like CoD. It was honestly such a solid crossover of the two, but people just never picked it up. To this day, I still wish I could jump in and play matches.
CoD is just too ridiculous nowadays. I don't want to have to account for some 14 year old jump spin no-scoping me after working 12 hours of work, lol, and Battlefield has all but lost its soul. Going back and playing BF1/2 and then anything beyond is such a sad experience knowing what could have been. That leaves a hole in the military fps realm for older folks that MoH could fill pretty perfectly nowadays.
Hell Let Loose exists, and while im definitely interested, you just cant compare a realistic team based shooter to CoD or BF.
hell let loose is a very hard game to play, I have tried it and while fun it's difficult to figure out the maps and the guns.
@@brandondavis4306 Couldn't agree more. I've got nothing negative to say about HLL, but when you say there aren't any good, serious shooters on the market nowadays (CoD, Battlefield, MoH), you get absolutely inundated with people telling you HLL exists like you can compare the two.
HLL is decidedly not "run and gun" so comparing them is stupid to begin with.
@CoreyC225 and I see where MOH could make a return. My friends and I could resurrect it, and make it a good game again. I would put it in Vietnam and have it follow seals conducting covert missions in loas and Cambodia.
@@CoreyC225 If you really want to play with a more mature group of players there are a couple of servers for the Arma series, one such server is run by a literal MACVSOG guy and the entire campaign is based on various offensives and SpecOps during Vietnam so that's one option. They don't play it too seriously like an AS MilSim IRL cause they know at the end of the day it's just a game. HLL is a decent game if you're playing with people you know and can run through a game with, it's still a struggle to a point but you can have fun with it. There a re a few other games but most of them again are either early access beta or a DLC for an existing game. I have a lot of the same issues as you with lobbies as The younger crowd has a different play style than I do and can get confrontational as I play at a more tactical pace than just running around the map "jump spin no-scoping", They get pretty angry when they end up like Ron Pearlman in Enemy At the Gates from a couple hundred meters away lol.
WOW this script seems like it was made by ChatGPT. Frontline came out essentially rught after Allied Assualt and well before Rising Sun.
It’s made by a kid who wasn’t even alive when half these games came out. Probably played them on an emulator
I was thinking the same
He calls expansion packs "dlc"
@@johnbrown8570 Probably not even played them. I might be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure BF1942 was released _before_ COD, to similarly critical acclaim. He made it sound like BF is a newer contender entering the ring.
Also, does BF1942 even have a campaign? I know Vietnam and BF2 don't...
@@marioprawirosudiro73011942 came out almost a year before cod, no it didn't have a campaign just multiplayer and large scale ai battles for single player, same with 2142. I think I still have the complete set for bf 1942 on pc with discs and the expansions are still some of the coolest I have seen in a game
I used to have so much fun on the 2010 & 2012 Medal of Honor mp. It always felt like a real experience, I thought it was a simpler version of battlefield. I miss Medal of Honor
No mention of the fact that MoH launched around the same time as another small speilberg project called saving private Ryan 😂
The Normandy landing level was basically 'Spr the game'
Who can forget the Allied Assault theme its the definition of beautiful, I also remember at times just not playing vanguard , just putting the disc on and watching /listening the menu, seeing the planes pass by between flak and clouds
The first FPS i ever played was underground , its was scary af at least as a kid , all levels at night ,most times not seeing the enemy, but it special for sure , it would be cool see another one with BF being well modern battlefield and cod needs some competition .
Medal Of Honor Frontline I remember clear as day, I remember the D Day mission along with the train station and Operation Repunzel
The Arnhem level was awesome too!
The music was amazing
@nriab23 That too especially when it's composed by Michael Giacchino
This video randomly shows up as I purchase a real life mp40 because of my memories and love for Medal of Honor frontline and waw
No mention of Frontline?!
Yeah. Was thinking the same
I would absolutely love to see the remakes of Underground and the 1999 game aswell as Allied Assault
Loved medal of honor Rising Sun as a kid. I remember being mesmerized by the opening Attack on Pearl Harbor level on Gamecube. It ignited my love for history (with Rome total war). For that I am forever grateful to Medal of Honor.
I remember the guy yelling "we lost the arizona!" like I just played the game yesterday
Yeah I agree played that beginning mission a lot as a kid can’t remember if I ever beat that game tho
15:12 : A brief 12 hours campaign VR spin off with lots of weapons, missions, scenery from D-Day to Norwegian mountain, made by the Medal of honor Allied assault director from the 2001 studio and music from composer Michael Giachinno.
Come on, this game was way better than the two modern MoH, it deserves a little bit more than a tiny comment.
Was supposed to revive the franchise and surpass COD but failed because they released it in VR instead of a more mainstream platform.
It failed in being a VR game with almost zero interactivity in its environment, constant "cut to black" transition everytime character move in cutscenes, limited weapon handling freedom, and overall janky mechanics.
It quickly faded from popularity because there are better VR games at the time and most MOH fans don't use VR.
It was very cringey though. That advisor they hired for the original games would have laughed the devs out of the room. The d day mission was a joke where one of your squad mates was a 16-17 year old british teen with glasses storming the beaches of normandy in the first wave dressed in us army ranger uniform. That game was on par with cod vanguard on terms of it historical inaccuracies. I couldn't take the game seriously personally.
Ea should have stuck to the ww2 setting. Ideally they would make a new medal of honour for ps5 where the protagonist is a British soldier who joins the special operations executive. Survive dunkirk, help defend norway, fight alongside the desert rats, escape from a german castle, aid the french resistance, liberate italy, parachute into holland, infiltrate the siegfried line, and defeat the nazi big boss
or even gone to a completely different setting like korea (no game has ever been there and if done right would be alot of fun). or do a deep dive into vietnam that has also just been touched on.
The WWII setting was done to death though.
@@Merlaut715 You mean the WWII American setting. A British soldier would be fighting on different fronts and would have more interesting weapons. Not just the standard issue Bren, Sten and Smellie but also the Welrod, silenced Delisle carbine, Boys AT rifle, and Piat mortar
@@Merlaut715 so are modern shooters
What a stupid and cheesy fucking idea lmao Not to mention an utter rape of history. I'm all for a game about the British, but dude, you just described the most Hollywood concept ever.
Medal of honor allied assault and its expansions are still alive, if you get Mohaa revival you get the 3 games and multiplayer patches, there's still servers and players, mohaa is the more populated one but we need more on breakthough too, get some tdm servers back to being popularized on there, or rifle only countdown. Breakthough mainly is freezetag objective and a few others.
Mohaa has a tdm that always has players and some others. But I miss breakthough tdm.
In my opinion there is nothing wrong with the 3 Mohaa games, the multiplayer is pretty good. Graphics wize I think it still holds up
Is the clan [Greeks] still around in Breakthrough?
Frontline was my first ever game. It alongside Killzone were games that introduced me to gaming. I still remember playing them with my Dad when I was like 5. Frontline was particularily beautiful to me. My dad had struggled to beat the mission multiple times, and I just remember watching him dying over and over. Eventually he looked at me and started showing me how to play, soon enough together we were able to beat the level. That level ended up being Arnhem Knights. Everything about that level was and still is special to me, the music was beautifully sad and calming. The objective was straight forever, save as many troops and find your contact. I never understood it as a kid, but after learning about the whole story of Arnhem during school, it brought an even greater meaning to that level. My dad nears 70, I just turned 24. Between all the games I played with him, whether it be Halo CE, Killzone, Bad Company, Medal of Honor 2010, or the last game I ever played with him, MW2, it's Medal of Honor Frontline that is most special to me. Maybe one of these days I'll replay Frontline with him again.
"Uninspired cashgrab" is literally all CoD is.
I enjoyed MoH 2010 a lot. The music from the original MoH, Frontline, and Rising Sun still sticks in my mind to this day.
I think what played into Medal of Honor’s fall from popularity is simply that it never really managed to expand beyond its formula or setting.
The online multiplayer played a large role in keeping Call of Duty and Battlefield relevant, despite the issues that they had. And they managed to expand in ways that Medal of Honor never did, like changing time periods and wars.
It’s sad to see Medal of Honor fall from the public eye and I do believe that EA played a large part in its downfall (because this is EA), but nothing truly lasts forever and the franchise had run its course.
All I can say is, thank you to the creators of Medal of Honor for giving us something great.
Medal of Honor Allied Assault had a great multiplayer community. For me it was specifically Spearhead. I played that game online for years. Theres even still a small community of people who still play it.
You left out Frontline and Pacific assault and you didn’t mention that 2015 who made Allied Assault created the first Call of Duty game.
Yes
allied assault was one of my favorite games as a kid, i still go back and play it to this day along with frontline.
Vanguard and Airborne were amazing, but sadly no multiplayer to my knowledge, but I was never into it myself. I loved the airborne idea on top of the upgrades and awards and different routes.
Airborne had an actually solid multiplayer mode
I cannot for the life of me understand why the hell Wafighter got a lower score than Bad Company 2, in terms of Singleplayer Campaign.
Medal of Honor (2010) destroyed me. I had just got back from AFG from a year of combat and the end of MoH had me in tears. I thought it was very well done and the story captured a lot of the drama.
I can safely say this, Easy Red 2 has been the greatest tribute to Medal Of Honor and BF1942 for the modern generation.
2010 MOH online gameplay was fantastic
I played allied assault when i was a kid. My dad had bought it for the PC and i used to sneak down to the basement at night in the pitch black to play that game.
Honestly one of the best FPS games ive ever played and my dad says the same. That old HP laptop and that game lives in my memory, such an immersive game.
Excuse me, Medal of Honor Frontline and rising Sun were my favorite games growing up and they looked far better than the 90s graphic games that you spent the entire first half of the video on. To this day, the Pearl Harbor scene in that game gives me goosebumps. I was born in 94, too young to experience three graphics at their worst so thank God for that.
3:03 excellent segue.
I played Medal of Honor - Underground so much back in the day, I absolutely love that game, I still have it…
"Serious games for serious gamers like The last of us and BioShock Infinite"
Alright.
I'm not a HUGE gamer, and am definitely more of a campaign player than multiplayer; but, I loved the 2010 reboot as well as the sequel!
The one memory i have of Medal of Honor is the one on the psp
The music and soundtracks were, and still are, great.
0:53 it, in fact, did not go well.
Rising sun was amazing, the campaign, the co-op and the multiplayer. The Multiplayer AI was hella advanced for what it was.
War, war never changes
Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything: from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.
I remember playing the first Medal of Honor in my first year of college. My roomate had one of those transparent iMacs that I would plug the PS1 into and it looked and sounded great compared to my crap CRT. Most games I finish the campaign or story and move on... but with MOH I was obsessed with getting the best ratings and unlocking the medals. There was nothing else like it, especially on console. Great fun times with this game! Sad that it ended on such a low note. Thanks for the great video! Awesome stuff.
I really don’t care what people say, to me rising sun was the best Medal of Honor game!
I’m currently playing through Allied Assault and recently replayed (my favorite) Frontline. Love Medal of Honor
Medal of honor died so we can have Nicki Minaj running around in cod.
I liked that Medal of Honor in 2010 didn't handhold you to the next objective it felt like you were a spec-ops operator and had to search the area to find your objective as for Warfighter it didn't feel like a sequel it felt more like an expansion to the 2010 game as it did pick up where that one left off. Also the MP in the 2010 MoH games was pretty fun I enjoyed it
So early that he might actually like my comment
hmmmmmm
Medal of Honor 2010 and warfighter were absolute gas. Rising sun and European assault were my to favorites back in the day.
I had a good friend. Tell me play medal of honor in the 90’s and I did and I loved it. It was awesome. Looking back. I can’t believe, that was the start of something much bigger. Great video Brother.
As a kid I invested many hours on the PSP version of Medal Of Honor Heros. Online was really a blast back then. Also have good memories of playing against other kids on the bus.
I played a lot of the MOH titles on PS2, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. I honestly really loved War Fighter, and it sucks to hear how much of a flop it really was.
Allied Assault will always be my favorite. MOH 2010 was phenomenal too.
I was a kid when medal of honor first came our. My grandfather had a PS1 (I didn't yet) and he had beaten the game, multiple times before I played it. What an amazing game for the time it was, and I never played the sequels due to COD releases. Spielberg showed us what storytelling and game play could be, and thanks to him, we have all of these franchises. I'll never forget the OG, playing with my grandfather when he was still alive. Some of the best times of my life.
It's almost heartbreaking to see MoH play catchup during the golden age of CoD. Loved playing MoHH and MoHH2 on my psp though, I made it to the top 100 on the leaderboard at one point even with all the hackers around
Brother thank you for this trip down memory lane. Had a blast playing this😭
We used to play Allied Assault and Pacific Assault back in University.
But then we switched to COD 1 and then COD 2.
My favorite FPS to date is still Battlefield Bad Company 2.
The single player was good, but that game was just soooo much fun to play online.
I loved Medal of Honor 2010! I thought MoH: Frontier was the most popular game but it wasn’t even mentioned here
Rising sun and Medal of Honor 2010 were my absolute favorite
OG MOH and the PC allied assault were absolutely master pieces. Stoked my childhood imagination
I look back so fondly at Medal of Honor Rising Sun. Played the campaign split screen with my little bro. Can't believe how long ago that was now
Call of duty 1 and 2 are pretty solid that essentially overpowered MoH.
MoH 2010 was kinda good
No dreamworks did not work on Allied Assault. They began work on Frontline right after the first MOH game shipped while leaving a small team working on Underground.
Medal of honor European assault was an incredible game growing up. You got a squad of three men on any front you could command and give location markers to go too.
Ok I don’t know where to start… I began playing MOH Underground on the PS1. Best game ever you would say at the time… Then came Medal of Honor Allied Assault… I remember having a PENTIUM 3 computer which couldn’t do the job 😂 Pentium 4 did if I am correct. My mom came back from work and got me the MOHAA game. It were multiple disks you had to install one at a time. Like you had 3 disks… disk 1 installed it to 33% (please insert disk 2) and it went on to 66% (please insert disk 3) which installed the game. That’s fckn nostalgia bruh. Who TF had 3 disks at that time to install a fckn game😂. Anyway.. I grew up with multiplayer MOH, which I think did nothing wrong. It was so much fun. After that Counter-Strike took basically the whole FPS genre multiplayer over. COD was WW2 related but CS took over the lot. Good memories, fun memories, wish I could go back in time! Cheers, good effort on this vid❤
Gay
Mohaa will always be a classic that i loved. Would love to see it remade with more modern graphics. Also enjoyed medal of honor airborne
My cousins got me into Medal of Honor Frontline and then years later with Airborne (which was super fun with the idea of dropping into different areas/zones)
Great video i wondered what happened to this game it was one of my favorites. i still have it packed in a box somewhere.A video on command and conquer would be awesome. I did not see one on your page.
MOH was basically my introduction to FPS games. And of course COD popularised it by brand recognition. My personal favourite MOH games were Underground and Frontline.
The crazy thing about Medal of Honor on PS1 was there wasn’t anything else like it at the time. It made it unique. The enemy animations were next level for the time. The mission briefings using real WW2 footage were also memorable
I've only ever had the first MoH game on the ps1 and found the enemies being "smart" enough to find cover, run away from grenades and not coming dead straight at me, but waiting around corners for an ambush was pretty cool. Also all the WWII style war posters during the loading screens was a nice touch.
Medal of Honour European Assault on PS2 and Medal of Honour Breakthrough on PC were my childhood. I still remember the old good time playing with my friends at the Internet Cafe for hours.
I got Allied Assault in college and played it on my old Wii. What really surprised me about the game was how lonely it was. After mission 3 I practically never saw another allied soldier again. It honestly felt like Half Life 2 in places where I'm running across an arena trying desperately to find a health kit because everyone was shooting at me. It was pretty fun.
The original MOH games really got me into learning about WW2, especially the train levels on Frontline, because I've always been a train kinda guy. Helping this interest in the second world war was the fact that while I was playing these, I was also learning the Anne Frank story in school... Best times in my personal interest in history!
MOHAA on PC was amazing.
A friend and I had a clan and a 40-man server that was always full.
The maps and custom maps were awesome.
Great video My all-time favorite Medal of honor games is Medal of Honor Frontline I’m surprised they didn’t mention that I remember playing it on PS2
Me and my childhood buddy stayed up and played Medal of Honor: Frontline on the hardest difficulty and beat it in one night. Probably the last night we hung out like that ever again.
Rising sun was my first medal of honor game. Absolutely loved it. Then got a copy of European assault from my mom's ex boyfriend and really enjoyed it. Can still remember some of the sound effects of both those games. Medal of honor 2010 blew me away as well. The guns sounded awesome and it was interesting to see a real war that was happening at the time be shown. That mission in the mountains with he army rangers getting over ran was so incredible. The learning the real world battle of the couple of missions made me appreciate it a whole lot more. Plus the multi-player of 2010 Medal of honor was honestly really really fun. War fighter I enjoyed as well. The campaign wasn't as good as 2010 but still enjoyed it and the multi-player I played with a couple of my buddies wayyy back in the day. Miss those days and that friend group so much. Remember coming back to my hometown for a week once and me and my two cousins played the hell out of 2010 moh campaign. Remember getting woken up early early to go back up north and was crying so hard because I didn't want to leave my cousins and go back up north. Remember my cousin hugging me tight telling me it's gonna be okay, that night/early morning has always stuck with me. I eventually moved back down south and living at my grandparents house while waiting for my dad to move down south. Man, those were some good days, and not just because of nostalgia. I was still depressed but it was a different kind of depression. Fell in love with video games more than ever and was obsessed with reading and laughing with my friends and cousins. I'll always remember that time in m life
MOH Allied Assault, Spearhead & OG Battlefield, COD on PC with COD 4, Guitar Hero, and Madden on Xbox 360 was my childhood.
That was really slick how you started talking video games and used that as a way to slip an add in
I played Medal of Honor: Allied Assault (MoHAA), to include the demo, from 1999 until 2011 when my friends decided enough was enough. The game was so much fun and was so good with the online ladders, etc. It was massively smaller than the Counter Strike community but brought similar competitive playing. I remember even in 2007 doing ladder matches on WorldOGL and doing scrimmages against rival clans. Just when my clan was starting to lose interest, Pacific came out, which tried to bring back the MoHAA feels. However, it failed miserably with optimization, despite looking great and having some cool maps. Its been about 13 years since I have touched MoHAA and I am sure some people still play today. Such good times!
MOHAA is still my favourite fps of all time. Spent thousands of hours playing it online and at LANs. Still an amazing game today when you can find a good server.
Medal of Honor: Vanguard was the very first game I ever owned & played. I got it as part of a PS2 pack. Me and my brothers would sit around the TV for hours and try to beat missions. The excitement we all got when one of us beat a mission EVERYONE tried beating is a feeling I really miss.
The first two games, especially, will always hold a special nostalgic place in my heart
