This is when gaming was at it's best. Play to unlock, not pay to win. Full games released, not 4 DLC's. Iconic music to match the tone of the mission. Take me back to when gaming was for the gamers
"Unfortunately Jimmy this is where we part ways. We got an invitation to hold up with a Dutch resistance contact not too far from here. You're a Good man, you'll do just fine."
Reading the comments I notice a lot of people tried and tried to save that paratrooper but was in vain due to it being scripted. It may be a small scripted event but I think it sums up war and actually has a deeper meaning in life, you will be presented with situations that you have no control over and no matter how hard you try you are simply powerless to stop or change them. You will play the same event over and over in your head trying to find what you could've done differently but it only causes more pain. You have to move on...
This soundtrack was beyond deep for this game. Really captured the emotions and horrors of war. I wish that it was more mainstream than it is, it's truly remarkable.
It was mainstream. It was a huge hit in 2002. Medial of honor was before cod and BIA. It was the standard for ww2 shooters at the time. It’s truly loved
This game started my interest in history for WWII. ITS THE ONLY SONG THAT STAYS STUCK IN MY HEAD. Here I am 16 years later. A paratrooper. Living my life nostalgia to the max
When my Grandfather died my car was directly behind the hearse for the funeral procession so I listened to this song on the way to the burial site… RIP…
I remember as a kid that I tried everything to save that paratrooper who was hanging on a windmill. Of course it was scripted so you couldn't save him, but I kept on trying and trying. It made me so angry and sad at the same time and this music kept playing throughout the game. That was the first time that I realized that war isn't fun or romantic. It only brings misery to people...
padvinder8 I read on the Wiki that there is a glitch where you can actually save him but it requires the rubber grenade cheat and you have to be very accurate with the throw, because the enemy is actually underground where the bullets spawn covered by the thick trees, and if you’re lucky enough you can hit him. And the Private will just stay there stuck trying to cut off the parachute. He’s not entirely scripted
The most underrated Video Game score of all time that almost nobody knows about. I come back to this soundtrack in times of struggle and aimlessness. It helps me remember what I'm fighting for.
Traversing through the war ridden European countryside with your squad. Innocent men and women hurt, their communities destroyed. You are a force of justice. Such a lonely mission. They don't make games like this anymore, now games are just so complicated with all kinds of characters and dialogue and alternative storylines. The only character I know is Jimmy Patterson
Alleyup1994USA they were invaders, invaders known for having murdered thousands on the eastern front, it doesn't matter that they didnt do it, its that they were damn well capable of doing so
NEW YORK SPORTS FAN Basically you were the only villager’s hope to be saved from the torment of the Nazi’s wrath. One Airborne squad discovered what Germans really do to the Jews. If you read the Holocaust, you’d understand the whole thing about this level. How men were forced to treat Germans as their masters. How Germans laughed at the Jews falling to pieces. Breaking... now I wasn’t born on any of the World Wars however. But I could tell that the times were rough back then. I could tell they had to witness families and friends being torn apart from what they once had. In all words... I am glad Adolf Hitler killed himself, I am glad that his sorry little brain splattered all over the floor. And I’m sure our own allies did too, our own U.S Citizens, the Holocaust survivors, and the U.S Airborne troops. After witnessing what they actually do to Jews. I bet these Airborne troops were heartbroken by this discovery, wishing they could’ve been at the right time, at the right place. To stop the Jews from being executed in those horrible Concentration Camps. That kind of stuff hits way back home, some events made the Paratroopers so angry, that they committed they’re own war crimes against Nazi Germany without their General knowing.
For me this is very accurate representation of the atmosphere that was present in the country side of Netherlands. Peaceful lives and beautiful landscapes suddenly became a stage for a horrifying play.
Yes, this song picks up exactly the feelings of the operation Market Garden with thousands of Allied soldiers jumping over to the Netherlands. The same goes for the Band of Brothers soundtrack during the jumping scene in Holland.
who is here in 2017 reflecting on the one of the greatest childhood games' soundtrack? Edit:7/31/2022, Its already been 4 years since the original post and time continues to go foward.... this song is a perfect representation of sadness lol
This piece really does remind you of the ultimate, inescapeable fact that above all else; War with all its strategic brainstorming, the tactical, operational arts and technological advancement is all exchanged in ethereal currencies counted by tragedy.
+RMNT Moonshield wow that just hit me too, good comment, a game scene that i remember vividly from my youth, its a shame electronic arts have changed there core values and artistic direction, bloody money grabbers:-( the music was very well constructed and underrated
My letter to you. Life was different then. We stayed up later then we should have to play Medal of Honor on our playstation or xbox. We didnt worrying about bills, car repairs, house maintenance, wars, or our health. We spent long weekends playing outside you and I. Soldiers and nurses, tag and hide-and-seek. Cartoon network greeted us after school and we watched Tom and Jerry followed by some Dragon Ball Z. Do you remember? Remember that time we skipped class and had to forge moms signature on the pink slip? Yeah I remember. Remember getting shy while presenting because she was sitting there front row, watching attentively. You tried to make me laugh and mess up. Yeah... I remember. Remember the time we made up excuses for why we needed another day for our homework assignment? My dog ate it - I swear! I remember. Remember the lunchables and froot rollups we shared? The cafeteria shenanigans with our friends? I remember. We both got detention that day - mom wasn't happy. I won't forget napping on the bus in the morning because the time changed and it was dark and foggy outside. We went through a lot, you and I. We didn't care for anything beyond our home, friends, games and comics, just the moment ahead and each other. No filthy politics. No hearts full of hate. No heart breaking wars or diseases. No fear. No social media. Just living life and dreaming of being a lawyer, a doctor, an astronaut. Being someone in this life. A lot has changed since then. Dad is no longer with us and Mom isn't doing very well. I heard you have a baby now. I'm so happy for you. What I wouldn't give to go back for just a day as a kid, to see my family again, my old friends. To experience one more day with you - dear reader. If you're still here and reading my ramblings... Maybe it's been 30 years now? Know that I'm thinking about you. Wherever you are, whatever you are going through, no matter how difficult it is, you are not alone. Regardless of our differences, our views, our colors, or anything else, know this: I love you. Until the day I pass, I will always love you.
I think we all come here to remember this mission and of course, because the song is amazing. But the feels that we get, the emotion and the nostalgia is what this game gave us. As a MOH fan, this is one of my favorite missions. Because its not just about shooting and clearing the level. Its about the atmosphere that we get deep into it: The soldier that gets shot and you cant save him, the shaking granny, nazi soldiers killing people, its not even sunny, its cloudy and that makes it very sad also. I come here once in a while to listen this masterpiece that Giacchino gave us, and to remember that this is one of our favorite games of all time. So thank you all for your visit and thank you for keeping this alive 😊 - impossibleisfaby -
This soundtrack gets me though never figured out how to pass d day but when my sisters friend passed all the missions and saw it with my own eyes .....this soundtrack got me
Been watching your channel since you've uploaded this. This game has been apart of my life since I first played it in 2005. This song in general has made me enjoy music and the art of it. Thankyou for uploading this masterpiece.
1st time playing this game i was about 4 years old and today i sometimes remember those days when i played this game with my big brother and he tried to help me in this mission.Well almost every mission he helped me. But when this came remastered to ps3 i played the whole game. Yes this game is close to my heart
Impossibleisfaby This was my first game I watched my Dad play around '03, '04. Absolutely amazing! The soundtrack is so beautiful and always makes me immerse myself on the battlefield. I will always remember this game and have a special place for MoH: Frontline in my ❤ I was born in '99 so I'm still young but I'm always attracted to games that have a compelling but emotional story not the shit like Fortnite. I really wish newer games had what the old games gave us.
It really sucks we don’t get quality video games like this anymore in 2017-2018. Man, AAA has fallen hard. Games like this were made by people who took pride in what they made, they cared about the consumer and wanted to put out the best content possible. Greed kills.
Hi from 2022... truly believe it is because of GAME UPDATES now. Companies release piles of garbage, knowing they can just update it if its jacked up later. Games back then had to be nearly flawless before being shipped out.
For an American Archaic, shoot-dem' Nazi's sort of genre game, it really captured the heart and toil of warfare, notably when the guy at the windmill was killed
That was awful to watch(I played these when I was like, 7...with my older bro), I recall crying after I played this. Death was so real to me in that game, they made it painful to see your buddies die in that game, they certainly don't do that anymore. Not the way they used to...for sure...
Matt Persiani I thought the John Marston death scene in Red Dead Redemption was even more powerful. Sure, they make it as painful as ever, but not as often
This game was magic especially the music, I'd stop playing Arnhem Knights just to hear the song, played this game over and over and over, then I left for Army basic training, January 2003, ended up being a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, spent a year in Afghanistan patrolling our area of operation, memories :'(
man I miss this game, The swell at 4:43 always takes my breath away when listening to the whole song together. The lead up to it then the surge of music and emotion. I feel as if it's the musical equivalent of a heavy sigh in hard times, when you know you just have to push on.
I've known this game since I was 5 years old and this was the first time listening to this song today and teared up because of it's masterpiece. 6-25-2024
I grew up with this game and this level always used to make me really sad. The amazing music captures the atmosphere of this level greatly and when you find the old lady shaking with the broom it always made me cry as a kid. Also at the beginning of the level where the guy gets caught in the windmill than gets shot made me cry as well. It still makes me a bit sad whenever i go and play this level again.
It's so so so beautiful You could never tell this was made for a video game, and yet it captures the tragedy of war perfectly. I'm surprised by how many people have come back to listen to this. We must've been really moved by experiencing that level as kids. I didn't pay too much attention back then, but wow at how heart wrenching this piece is
I remember watching one of my sisters playing through the whole game when I was a kid. The OST struck me so much. My sister eventually got me a CD. I kept listening to the main menu track, this one, and Arnhem Knights. 15 years later and I still find these as moving and powerful as they were.
That's why this game is very sad.... I remember that in the mission "Arnhem knights" I was trying to save ALL my allied soldiers. When a soldier died, I restarted the mission again 😢
@@raptor_zero9429 yard by yard was so sad too... The part you invade a house with a family having lunch on the table, the dutch resistance guy who tried to help us but got shot by a sniper... This game is deeper than marianas trench
Everytime I play this Rough Landing mission, I'll always feel pity to that innocent Dutch civilians especially for that scare , shaking Granny. Can't resist to teardrop when walking beside that old women 😭. Because it will only make me remember about my late grandmother , because she's still a young girl when Japanese invade Malaya 😭.
It’s so weird seeing all these similar experiences everyone seemed to have had. Just goes to tell you how good of a game and soundtrack this was. This is something that’s been ingrained in our heads for a long time, that’s really meaningful. I think I was 9 when I first played this game. I knew what D-Day, WW2, and all that was. In fact I think at this point in my life I had already seen saving private Ryan with my uncle. Parents weren’t too happy about that lol. But that stuck paratrooper really fucked me up as a 9 year old. I didn’t know what a scripted event was, and I tired, tried, and tried to save him. I think when I realized I couldn’t I just cried and I tried to walk past that windmill without looking or listening to him. And I was SO angry and those Germans that were right around the corner. I always made sure I saved that other airborne trooper from the mortars and as many Brits as I could in Arnhem. I’m 25 and have been in the army for 4 years now, hearing this OST just makes me sad now
''Monty had a scheme to breaks us through, another Brit plan.. at least they were taking the heat this time, dropping 60 miles into enemy territory, we were 35 klicks in. 'We can do this' that's what we thought. Felt good to be back on the jump roster, this is the big one.. just might be home by Christmas.'' Vanguard may have arguably been a 5/10 game but the presentation and choice of soundtracks was incredibly well put
DAMNIT!! I could never save the paratrooper that got stuck... :/ Too bad you had no choices in scripted games from before. He will be forever remembered RIP.
HakumenSusanooh I read on the Wiki that there is a glitch where you can actually save him but it requires the rubber grenade cheat and you have to be very accurate with the throw, because the enemy is actually underground where the bullets spawn covered by the thick trees, and if you’re lucky enough you can hit him. And the Private will just stay there stuck trying to cut off the parachute. He’s not entirely scripted
Coming back to this in 2023. Listening to this soundtrack and how well it augmented the experience of the game. Little wonder that Mr. Giacchino would achieve the success he has in the years since.
This one hits a little different, I had family in occupied Holland who sent us letters right before the Nazis invaded, dropping into Holland made me feel like I was saving them.
I don't think we will ever have masterpiece games like this. Rip good games 😢 Also thanks Steven Spielberg for this early masterpiece games! Michael giachino, for this amazing soundtrack, and the developers that created these games. Thank you! 💙💙
There needs to be more games just like this, this is one of those games where no matter how much you play it. It's always an adventure and well worth the time. I need to buy this game again...
I still play this. I mean Literally I still have my PS2 with like 28 other PS2 games including this one and I still play sometimes. Love the music by the way.
"Im hit but i will be ok for now"...... for some odd reason that quote combined with the music and atmosphere of this level has always made me quite saddened.
this game has a beautiful soundtrack wish more war style fps games did music like this. It really got me into the atmosphere of the game. This to me is the best MOH game and one of the best shooters I have played to this day.
I always picture my future cabin scenery with this song. A light dash of snow over the country side chopping wood on a brisk morning with the smell of fresh coffee brewing and chickens in the background. That's my american dream.
This music is pure nostalgia. Reminds me of when I played this on PS2 what feels like a LONG time ago.... and yes, I did struggle a bit with setting that darned windmill on fire. I miss that game and the days of when MOH was king and loot-boxes were nonexistent.... I might have to find a memory card and play it again. lol
This game was a REAL masterpiece for the time he got released... What happened to "new gen" MOH.. Kinda hard to keep up inovating while competing with others big studios like DICE (Battlefield series) and Activision (Call of Duty series). But one thing is certain, none of theses "modern FPS game studios" would be so good if not by old EA MOH development (ps1 and ps2).
I just remembered this randomly one day. I came back...to hear this again. Still my favorite MOH game. Great times and I’m sorry we couldn’t save the guy in the beginning.
This is Extremely deep and dark. In this mission you had to destroy tanks in a town as I recall. Something else that may make this theme more fitting or it is darker than it should?
I have a saying "Times of war creates heroes, and times of peace creates cowards", even though war-time involves heavy losses of life, it also creates true patriots that are willing to go above and beyond to defend their country. While in peace-time people become ungrateful and ignorant to all the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom.
For so many years hearing this soundtrack and the date 18.9.2020 second day of Market Garden its now... I played this when I as kid when everything was good no problem, no stress... :( I miss those days
The older war games at times felt more real in that how they told these stories had a more human side to war! As someone who loves a good story I appreciate it
oh my god the nostalgia, I used to be obsessed with this in 8th grade, burning the windmill, killing the mortar teams, blowing up weird looking panzers, having like only 3 teammates in the entire game, sniping people, watching Nazis holding their foot while the jumping up and down cuz I shot them .....
just in the last few days i had a memory flashback to this mission and the music in. didn't take long to find but glad i took the time. Now to find out if the score is taken from a historical composition.
You couldn't save Him. He was your friend. Jimmy lived with that Memory his whole life. Scared and Broken, He could never forget his last words. "wait... Jimmy" he cried as a burst from a machine gun mowed him down. RIP you will be remembered as a saint to all those Cows who would of ended up as Schnitzel. Live forever in our hearts friend. You will never be forgotten.
This also plays is Medal of Honor airborne from 0:00 to 0:50 when inside the church in level 4 operation market garden only once. From 4:31 to 5:14 that part plays when on the roof of the spotting tower in Operation Neptune only once.
Everytime i play operation neptune, i go on the spotting tower roof and stare at the ships cannons firing and then up to the sky where pratroopers are dropping, it feels good....
No, I have alot of newer games for my PS3, but sometimes I play my PS2 because I don't want to stop playing it yet and Medal of Honor is still awesome!
The forgotten games, forgotten soundtracks. The nostalgia. The masterpiece.
Forgotten ? When we talk about MoH, we think about Frontline first !
Just wanted to have attention
Frontline is the only one I ever played. This level is just iconic to me.
Lt Wolf I can't even express the emotions this brings to me, man. It feels like I'm 7 years old again.
In a hundred years the game will still live within my memories the music forever haunting me.😌
This is when gaming was at it's best. Play to unlock, not pay to win. Full games released, not 4 DLC's. Iconic music to match the tone of the mission. Take me back to when gaming was for the gamers
"Unfortunately Jimmy this is where we part ways. We got an invitation to hold up with a Dutch resistance contact not too far from here. You're a Good man, you'll do just fine."
Chris Green i got so sad i didn’t wanna leave barnes behind
Literally heard this voice in my head reading that.
@@onyxcedar6729 same here.
“Hey, jimbo! Wanna give me a hand?”
Jimmy-
"WHAT? WHERE'S MY INVITE?"
Poor shaking granny.
oh my gawd i remember the shaking civilians.
Am I the only one who shot at her?
nope
Ok, I don't feel so bad.
Even though this is a game it always breaks my heart to try to imagine the fear, pain and suffering so many endured during that war.
Reading the comments I notice a lot of people tried and tried to save that paratrooper but was in vain due to it being scripted. It may be a small scripted event but I think it sums up war and actually has a deeper meaning in life, you will be presented with situations that you have no control over and no matter how hard you try you are simply powerless to stop or change them. You will play the same event over and over in your head trying to find what you could've done differently but it only causes more pain. You have to move on...
This is one of the greatest comments I think I've ever read online.
Amen 👏
Either that or it was just to show how much of massacre the operation was in history.

Barnes was actually a corporal
I'm preaty sure that if you get hit with a tank round to chest than your arse is friggen dead.
4 people couldn't figure out how to set the windmill on fire.
now 8.
and 9
Me too at the time :(
That dead was me, I was lost for a while lmao memories, u just reminded of me of that
it took me ages to figure out you had to shoot on D day
This soundtrack was beyond deep for this game. Really captured the emotions and horrors of war. I wish that it was more mainstream than it is, it's truly remarkable.
The game was very captivating. Very dramatic, and was still a blast to play. Such wonderful memories on this game.

This is a particularly beautiful piece of music!!
It's happening once more in the Ukraine almost 80 years after we vowed never again would a World War happen
It was mainstream. It was a huge hit in 2002. Medial of honor was before cod and BIA. It was the standard for ww2 shooters at the time. It’s truly loved

My letter to you.
Life was different then. We stayed up later then we should have to play Medal of Honor on our playstation or xbox. We didnt worrying about bills, car repairs, house maintenance, wars, or our health.
We spent long weekends playing outside you and I. Soldiers and nurses, tag and hide-and-seek.
Cartoon network greeted us after school and we watched Tom and Jerry followed by some Dragon Ball Z.
Do you remember?
Remember that time we skipped class and had to forge moms signature on the pink slip?
Yeah I remember.
Remember getting shy while presenting because she was sitting there front row, watching attentively. You tried to make me laugh and mess up. Yeah...
I remember.
Remember the time we made up excuses for why we needed another day for our homework assignment? My dog ate it - I swear!
I remember.
Remember the lunchables and froot rollups we shared? The cafeteria shenanigans with our friends?
I remember.
We both got detention that day - mom wasn't happy.
I won't forget napping on the bus in the morning because the time changed and it was dark and foggy outside.
We went through a lot, you and I.
We didn't care for anything beyond our home, friends, games and comics, just the moment ahead and each other.
No filthy politics.
No hearts full of hate.
No heart breaking wars or diseases.
No fear.
No social media.
Just living life and dreaming of being a lawyer, a doctor, an astronaut. Being someone in this life.
A lot has changed since then. Dad is no longer with us and Mom isn't doing very well. I heard you have a baby now. I'm so happy for you.
What I wouldn't give to go back for just a day as a kid, to see my family again, my old friends.

Impossibleisfaby This was my first game I watched my Dad play around '03, '04. Absolutely amazing! The soundtrack is so beautiful and always makes me immerse myself on the battlefield. I will always remember this game and have a special place for MoH: Frontline in my ❤ I was born in '99 so I'm still young but I'm always attracted to games that have a compelling but emotional story not the shit like Fortnite. I really wish newer games had what the old games gave us.
It really sucks we don’t get quality video games like this anymore in 2017-2018. Man, AAA has fallen hard. Games like this were made by people who took pride in what they made, they cared about the consumer and wanted to put out the best content possible. Greed kills.
So true...
Yeah, and they actually showed general interest in what they made.
Any of the 7 sins can and will kill us. Seen enough of it in my lifetime happen to so many people.
Hi from 2022... truly believe it is because of GAME UPDATES now. Companies release piles of garbage, knowing they can just update it if its jacked up later. Games back then had to be nearly flawless before being shipped out.
And to boot, this was an EA Game. FUCKING EA
For an American Archaic, shoot-dem' Nazi's sort of genre game, it really captured the heart and toil of warfare, notably when the guy at the windmill was killed
That was awful to watch(I played these when I was like, 7...with my older bro), I recall crying after I played this. Death was so real to me in that game, they made it painful to see your buddies die in that game, they certainly don't do that anymore. Not the way they used to...for sure...
Matt Persiani I thought the John Marston death scene in Red Dead Redemption was even more powerful. Sure, they make it as painful as ever, but not as often
This game was magic especially the music, I'd stop playing Arnhem Knights just to hear the song, played this game over and over and over, then I left for Army basic training, January 2003, ended up being a Paratrooper in the 82nd Airborne Division, spent a year in Afghanistan patrolling our area of operation, memories :'(
What was it like in Afghanistan?
Same dude, I just put my earphones on and listened to the arnhem knight music with the battlefield noises in the background. Good old times...
man I miss this game,
The swell at 4:43 always takes my breath away when listening to the whole song together. The lead up to it then the surge of music and emotion. I feel as if it's the musical equivalent of a heavy sigh in hard times, when you know you just have to push on.
EA killed MOH with modern war!!!!
WWII, best moh ever!!!
+Fernando Moraes bloody well said mate
I actually really enjoyed the first modern war Medal of Honor game, but they swore too much. These older games had no swearing.
+Fernando Moraes True man just like CoD these days .. jeez
Cod and MOH need to get back to their roots!
I've known this game since I was 5 years old and this was the first time listening to this song today and teared up because of it's masterpiece. 6-25-2024
4:40 the reason we are here. Absolutely gorgeous.
Fun Fact: In Airborne, you get to hear my voice say " I know!" and "NO way! You gotta jump!" in the mission where you hear this song brought back.
Even if EA messed up on the storyline and has you dropping your guys just before sunrise on D-Day instead of the night before like canon dictates
Alright Jimmy, this is where we parts ways. Don't worry your a good man you'll do fine.
I grew up with this game and this level always used to make me really sad. The amazing music captures the atmosphere of this level greatly and when you find the old lady shaking with the broom it always made me cry as a kid. Also at the beginning of the level where the guy gets caught in the windmill than gets shot made me cry as well. It still makes me a bit sad whenever i go and play this level again.
Yea i remember that poor old lady
4:40 hits me in the feels every time 😢😢😢
It's so so so beautiful
You could never tell this was made for a video game, and yet it captures the tragedy of war perfectly. I'm surprised by how many people have come back to listen to this. We must've been really moved by experiencing that level as kids. I didn't pay too much attention back then, but wow at how heart wrenching this piece is
I remember watching one of my sisters playing through the whole game when I was a kid. The OST struck me so much. My sister eventually got me a CD. I kept listening to the main menu track, this one, and Arnhem Knights. 15 years later and I still find these as moving and powerful as they were.
Who in 2019 still listening to this while playing or drawing ww2 soldiers
Did anyone else cried when the paratrooper got killed, or that old lady got kicked by the Nazi officer ;-;
I did not stop firing at that nazi soldier lol
+Hector Aguirre Man i started a rampage against those nazis when i saw both things happening.. could not resist it
That's why this game is very sad.... I remember that in the mission "Arnhem knights" I was trying to save ALL my allied soldiers. When a soldier died, I restarted the mission again 😢
@@raptor_zero9429 yard by yard was so sad too... The part you invade a house with a family having lunch on the table, the dutch resistance guy who tried to help us but got shot by a sniper... This game is deeper than marianas trench
Everytime I play this Rough Landing mission, I'll always feel pity to that innocent Dutch civilians especially for that scare , shaking Granny. Can't resist to teardrop when walking beside that old women 😭. Because it will only make me remember about my late grandmother , because she's still a young girl when Japanese invade Malaya 😭.
tears are falling...
The valor of the ww2 soldier will never again be seen in history
Pray we never, ever have to see such valor again.
I'm playing it on my PS3 and took over 4 GB half of my storage. Worth it
It’s so weird seeing all these similar experiences everyone seemed to have had. Just goes to tell you how good of a game and soundtrack this was. This is something that’s been ingrained in our heads for a long time, that’s really meaningful. I think I was 9 when I first played this game. I knew what D-Day, WW2, and all that was. In fact I think at this point in my life I had already seen saving private Ryan with my uncle. Parents weren’t too happy about that lol. But that stuck paratrooper really fucked me up as a 9 year old. I didn’t know what a scripted event was, and I tired, tried, and tried to save him. I think when I realized I couldn’t I just cried and I tried to walk past that windmill without looking or listening to him. And I was SO angry and those Germans that were right around the corner. I always made sure I saved that other airborne trooper from the mortars and as many Brits as I could in Arnhem. I’m 25 and have been in the army for 4 years now, hearing this OST just makes me sad now
michael giacchino is brilliant. Of course he went from making video game music to making music for Stephen Spielberg.
This is probably the best soundtrack out of the game very chilling and melancholy to put out in perspective the horrors of WW2 very well done!
''Monty had a scheme to breaks us through, another Brit plan.. at least they were taking the heat this time, dropping 60 miles into enemy territory, we were 35 klicks in.
'We can do this' that's what we thought. Felt good to be back on the jump roster, this is the big one.. just might be home by Christmas.''
Vanguard may have arguably been a 5/10 game but the presentation and choice of soundtracks was incredibly well put
4:31 to 5:15 some of the most emotionally driven music I’ve ever heard.
This song makes me cry sometimes since my mom passed away last Christmas
Everything will be ok my friend. You shall meet again at the resurrection that Jesus makes possible, nay, certain.
One of the best levels and the song fit this level
This game is definitely in my top 10 games of all time
DAMNIT!! I could never save the paratrooper that got stuck... :/ Too bad you had no choices in scripted games from before. He will be forever remembered RIP.
Idiot.
HakumenSusanooh Amen.
HakumenSusanooh I read on the Wiki that there is a glitch where you can actually save him but it requires the rubber grenade cheat and you have to be very accurate with the throw, because the enemy is actually underground where the bullets spawn covered by the thick trees, and if you’re lucky enough you can hit him. And the Private will just stay there stuck trying to cut off the parachute. He’s not entirely scripted
The best song from the game aside from the main menu music. Love it.
Coming back to this in 2023. Listening to this soundtrack and how well it augmented the experience of the game. Little wonder that Mr. Giacchino would achieve the success he has in the years since.
Frontline had the best soundtracks in gaming history in my opinion.
TorpedoKiller 4023 European Assault, gotta take a listen
Jimmy, cover me while I take out this tank.
This one’s mine!
Watch my back Jimmy I’m going in!
Alright Jimmy here I go!
This ones next Patterson
Cover me I’m planting the charges
This one hits a little different, I had family in occupied Holland who sent us letters right before the Nazis invaded, dropping into Holland made me feel like I was saving them.
I don't think we will ever have masterpiece games like this. Rip good games 😢 Also thanks Steven Spielberg for this early masterpiece games! Michael giachino, for this amazing soundtrack, and the developers that created these games. Thank you! 💙💙
There needs to be more games just like this, this is one of those games where no matter how much you play it. It's always an adventure and well worth the time. I need to buy this game again...
+SKIBBZ me too
Oh man, so much nostagia with this. I used to sit and listen to this entire piece play out at the start of the mission.
Legendary track. Reminds me of the beautiful Holland my grandparents lived in!
This brought back real sweet memories in my childhood. thank you for the upload.
"It's just another FPS game, the music doesn't have to be that good."
Michael Giacchino: *Flaming piano meme*
After the dust had settled. 50 million dead. The war was over. It had been a long 12 years. Many sacrifices, never again.
I still play this. I mean Literally I still have my PS2 with like 28 other PS2 games including this one and I still play sometimes. Love the music by the way.
Close to 20 years later and this theme and game STILL hit close to home.
i just got this game last year, playing it trough and really entertaining game! love the music too
"Im hit but i will be ok for now"...... for some odd reason that quote combined with the music and atmosphere of this level has always made me quite saddened.
this game has a beautiful soundtrack wish more war style fps games did music like this. It really got me into the atmosphere of the game. This to me is the best MOH game and one of the best shooters I have played to this day.
God I remember this. I was only 7 but it stuck with me. This games soundtrack is so good and brings back a lot of memories
Same.. I was 7 too
Commenting on Anzac Day In Australia. This is my favourite soundtrack from this game. Favourite shooter from my childhood. Lest We Forget.
I always picture my future cabin scenery with this song. A light dash of snow over the country side chopping wood on a brisk morning with the smell of fresh coffee brewing and chickens in the background. That's my american dream.
This music is pure nostalgia.
Reminds me of when I played this on PS2 what feels like a LONG time ago.... and yes, I did struggle a bit with setting that darned windmill on fire.
I miss that game and the days of when MOH was king and loot-boxes were nonexistent.... I might have to find a memory card and play it again. lol
When i was little I WAS AFRAID OF THIS MUSIC !
Frontline the one game I always love and come back to above all the others this score is brilliantly written
nostalgia at its finest love this piece means alot long live Patterson
I’m sorry we couldn’t save you buddy 😭
Saddest song
This game was a REAL masterpiece for the time he got released... What happened to "new gen" MOH.. Kinda hard to keep up inovating while competing with others big studios like DICE (Battlefield series) and Activision (Call of Duty series). But one thing is certain, none of theses "modern FPS game studios" would be so good if not by old EA MOH development (ps1 and ps2).
I just remembered this randomly one day. I came back...to hear this again. Still my favorite MOH game. Great times and I’m sorry we couldn’t save the guy in the beginning.
This is Extremely deep and dark. In this mission you had to destroy tanks in a town as I recall. Something else that may make this theme more fitting or it is darker than it should?
The paratrooper you couldn't save at the beginning definitely set the tone for this mission
The weather fit perfectly imo and it showed how no one is safe from war...
Trying to save your allies from dying.
The granny who got kicked and killed by a fucking nazi officer 😭
After the drop of tears ...
People start realising what they have done ...
Thank you for this componist ...
I have a saying "Times of war creates heroes, and times of peace creates cowards", even though war-time involves heavy losses of life, it also creates true patriots that are willing to go above and beyond to defend their country. While in peace-time people become ungrateful and ignorant to all the sacrifices made by those who fought for our freedom.
this was the most memorable song for me
For so many years hearing this soundtrack and the date 18.9.2020 second day of Market Garden its now... I played this when I as kid when everything was good no problem, no stress... :( I miss those days
The older war games at times felt more real in that how they told these stories had a more human side to war! As someone who loves a good story I appreciate it
I still remember the paratrooper hung on the windmill who asks for your help but you can't reach him in time before he gets shot... Feels bad man.
This song reminds me of my old days when I played this videogame with my old friends.
i miss those days.
The Ukrainians we need to help them. I pray for everyone.
Quite right
Ukraine: Allies
Russia: Nazis
Putin: Hitler
Still listening to this track in dental school! Getting me through some rough nights. Thank you @impossibleisfaby
Got through some tough nights in dental school with this track.
oh my god the nostalgia, I used to be obsessed with this in 8th grade, burning the windmill, killing the mortar teams, blowing up weird looking panzers, having like only 3 teammates in the entire game, sniping people, watching Nazis holding their foot while the jumping up and down cuz I shot them .....
Johnathan Maximillian mee too. i wanna be 10 again haha
2019 and I still listen and love these. I miss these games so much never will we see the likes of them again.
just in the last few days i had a memory flashback to this mission and the music in. didn't take long to find but glad i took the time. Now to find out if the score is taken from a historical composition.
You couldn't save Him. He was your friend. Jimmy lived with that Memory his whole life. Scared and Broken, He could never forget his last words. "wait... Jimmy" he cried as a burst from a machine gun mowed him down. RIP you will be remembered as a saint to all those Cows who would of ended up as Schnitzel. Live forever in our hearts friend. You will never be forgotten.
His name was Timothy Connor.
This also plays is Medal of Honor airborne from 0:00 to 0:50 when inside the church in level 4 operation market garden only once. From 4:31 to 5:14 that part plays when on the roof of the spotting tower in Operation Neptune only once.
You sir did not forget
Everytime i play operation neptune, i go on the spotting tower roof and stare at the ships cannons firing and then up to the sky where pratroopers are dropping, it feels good....
No, I have alot of newer games for my PS3, but sometimes I play my PS2 because I don't want to stop playing it yet and Medal of Honor is still awesome!
ikr who the hell dislikes this piece of gaming art which I still have on my GameCube.... good times
This game had been my first in the series, and it is still my favorite installment in the franchise.
"Hey JImbo!
Do you mind giving me a hand?"
"Wait, Jimmy....
aaaaaahhhhhhhhh!"
Depressing man. I always thought you could save him...
