    _FUN FACT_ The main villain of this game, Commander Masataka Shima is played by Makoto Iwamatsu. Makoto or "Mako" as he's mostly simply known as was quite a prolific actor in late 20th century films and even did plenty of voice work late in his life. As a kid in the 2000's you may recognize his voice as Aku, in Samurai Jack and Uncle Iroh in Avatar: The Last Airbender.

    I remember being a kid asking my Grandma to get me a military shooter game for my PS2 for my birthday. She didn't know anything about video games, so she asked the worker would be a good T rated game because she refused to buy me anything M rated. The worker apparently gave her this game and said, "He's going to love this" and that's how I got my first FPS game. Boy was he right. I obsessed over this game and it opened up my love for WW2 history. I can remember spending hours upon hours just playing the multiplayer with bots because I didn't have online. I remember when COD Black Ops came out everyone was praising how you could play multiplayer with bots and I was like, "Wait, my old game MOH Rising Sun did this 8 years ago" lol Such an underated game.

    That one scene at the end of the Philippines mission has been burned into my brain since i played the game as a child. Just the desperation of seeing the japanese soldiers swarming up the Stuart tank as your brother is trying to hold them of off with a shotgun while you escape on the truck, your last glimpse of him as you round the courner as he is overwhelmed by their numbers.
    The intensity of the first mission also stuck with me. Just straight into the desperate action, and such a visual scene of the destruction at Pearl Harbor

    9:46 This cutscene right here serves as a critique for modern depictions of World War II in AAA gaming. That hits HARD as more and more veterans are succumbing to old age. Less people to tell the story as it really was. It's our responsibility as their successors to tell the stories right. It was a real war. Real people died.

      Even older videogames aren't really accurate especially MOH titles where you're a one man army wiping out enemies. At the end of the day they're games that are focusing more on the entertainment side than the historical one. I don't love most modern WW2 games but don't understand the outrage since they're just games, not history books. I'd love more games that were focused on the history and single player, not that many of those sadly.

    Fun fact: the name of the carrier Toshikaze doesn't conform to Japanese carrier naming conventions; Japanese carriers were named for mythical creatures like eastern phoenixes and dragons, while destroyers were the ones that typically had the element -kaze, meaning wind, in their names. Because carriers that were converted from another ship class kept their old names, even when they didn't match up to the convention, the game accidentally implies that Toshikaze is a fleet carrier built on a destroyer hull.

      Thank you for this insight! Great little bit of knowledge.

    • @sharkface129
      @sharkface129 5 месяцев назад +7

      Yeap, While the Name Toshikaze is definitely a destroyer name by convention, In the subtitles it refers to the ship as "Phoenix 1". I think this hints at an earlier draft of the story possibly referring to this ship as Taihou by name, a ship of a similar type which was sunk due to fuel vapors spreading through the ship and igniting. The name Taihou incidentally meaning "Great Phoenix".

      A saw a preview in a magazine before the game came out with a list of levels, and it’s seems two were removed to get the game out in time. One where you escape from Singapore, and the other being the famous rescue mission at Cabantuan POW camp, so presumably at some point you would have rescued Donnie and killed Shima.

      I'd say it's underrepresented in video games but it's what got the US in the war, it's no way underrated. Maybe it's just my experience in the US where I had the Pacific theater shoved down my throat and then we were taught "and the US saved the day in Europe." Often it's the other allies, resistance, and North African theater that many don't talk about. I think we see less media of it because of all the shit the US did, camps for Japanese people and all the other atrocities.

As an adult actually knowing the history it's just crazy how accurately they captured that day. And the accuracy of how the Arizona sank blew me away, and how the gameplay comes to a stop while you witness it sinking just hits on an emotional level many games can't achieve nowadays. "You just be sure you don't forget the ones who didn't" that line hits so much harder, this mission wasn't just an opportunity to experience pearl harbor in a game, but to remember pearl harbor in all it's infamy.

    Im loving these series. Needless to say this game is obviously rough around the edges, but still somehow feels so legendary because of the whole presentation value. The artistic direction, while extremely poor and dated in terms of quaity, is just on spot.
    Nobody should blame you for not finding secrets because some of them are quite convoluted if you dont know where to look, and would require multiple playthroughs to find everything. Conveniently you found the Machete but funny enough didnt know where to use it.
    Im glad to see that my own wiki entry of the game's secrets slowly proves useful to people. Over the last 12 months i revisited the game on ps2 emu with two main playthroughs around four months appart and after the second one i researched and recorded all i could of the secrets. Then around three months ago i reported everything i found on the games wiki so its information that people will be able to use in the future.
    It would suck that such gemes with their depth would be left unexplored and undocumented in history.
    The two main things you are looking for are the machete and the trench tool (a shovel) which is found in the basement of the temple in the doors you couldnt enter. More on that in the wiki.

    Probably went throught this game with my nephew atleast 5 times back in 03-04.
    We were 7-8 years old but he had way older brothers that always had the latest console and games. Good times...
    Great co-op experience, played it again for the first time in years with another friend and still had a great time.

    Me and my brother used to play split screen multiplayer and role play in the maps, he would have his apartment and I would have mine, he'd invite me over and things would escalate into a gunfight. Really great memories from this game.

    @seanherrmann6301 5 месяцев назад +2

    Played this game as a child on the PS2 and it was a blast! My brother and I would take turns screen sniping each other on split screen. Fun fact, on the third mission (Midnight Raid on Guadalcanal) there's an ammo box by one of the huts that's called "Type 100 Magazine" or something similar. I picked it up a number of times but couldn't figure out what it was for. Turns out the Type 100 smg was going to be a useable weapon but it got cut. Apparently the devs missed removing some of its ammo. Thanks for bringing back some great childhood memories.

    • @jaxcool123
      @jaxcool123 25 дней назад

      The type 100 was in fact removed from the final game. The ammo box on the third mission is however for the type-11 machine gun that you can find earlier in the mission.

    Just found your channel with this video and it gave me a nostalgia trip bro. I sunk many hours into this game as a kid on PS2. I used to play in the living room while my dad was having a beer on the couch watching me erase pixelated japanese soldiers. Fun to see this so many years later it's a bit of a gem I think.

    Medal of Honor Vanguard was my first video game that I've ever played, and it's also my favorite game of all time. It was perfect in every way. Gun sounds, memorable characters, fun levels, awesome multi-player, the music. That French Horn and bells from that game is one of my most memorable sounds. Amazing ambience as well, it makes you feel like the flak is outside. It was a great start to gaming

    1:13:12 This is also part of a sequence to unlock a special tool meant for level replays.
    First you need to find a pink lotus from one of the earlier Buddhas you find in the temple, I'm certain it's before the courtyard.
    After rescuing Raj, you place said lotus in this very water bowl and one of those blocked off doorways will open.
    In it comes the entrenching tools, which can be used in all levels to open secret paths with modifiers (akin to Halo's skulls) to unlock, such as giant heads or one-tap mode!

    I played the crap out of this game as a kid. It was always so fun. I was tickled pink when I realized that the AI react differently to getting shot in the groin. I’ve never come across that level of detail in any FPS game since.

    I hope you'll be back soon with Pacific Assault. That's another fun one :) :)

  • @Sir_punchwood
    @Sir_punchwood 5 месяцев назад +1

    Fun secret, during the mortar vs tank section of the Pistol Pete mission, you can destroy the tank quickly then destroy some of the rocks still in line of sight for hidden goodies. I think one of them may have been a secret bonus objective.
    Anyways, the complexity of this game, its mechanics, and it's easter egg make it the game that i would spend $100 million on a remaster for.
    Exactly the same game, just new textures, very occasional new SFX when they would make sense, and EXACTLY THE SAME PLOTLINE AND DIALOGUE.
    It'd be pretty much perfect.

      That baseball field map on split screen multiplayer was awesome. I'd get in the dugouts and use them like fox holes lighting up anyone who'd come along. And the tunnels were scary when you never knew if an enemy was around the corner. We didn't have internet so we played against bots

    This and Frontline were my introduction into FPS WW2 games. I played Frontline before this one, but this one I remember so well, even though I last played it around 19-20 years ago when my dad bought it for the GameCube. What a game. The places you get to go, the exhilarating missions. Especially the stealth missions, both Guadalcanal and the one in the port when your operator has a single shot welrod. Incredible. Pistol Pete Showdown was one of the best level designs of any FPS around that time, and the cliffhanger ending to this game always made me so mad. "What do you mean I can't save him?! Or kill the Commander?!"
    All in all, a wonderful piece of my childhood that I can still remember quite well considering.

    I would like to recomend one game to be added to the list: Men of Valor. It's basically Medal of Honor: Vietnam but not called that (though if it were made today it 100% would've been). It's made by 2015, the same people who made Allied Assault. It's kinda forgotten now, but I do remember the first level where you play football in bootcamp.
