My friend Tommy and I used to play this together and we could never beat the last level. We were so close. Years past and we almost forgot about the game. Tommy passed away in 2015. In his honor and to continue his legacy, me and my brother finished the level for him. I swear I felt his presence in the room when we beat the level. To this day I remember my brother and I screaming at the top of our lungs when we beat it. My mom came downstairs thinking something was wrong when we told her we beat it for Tommy we all broke down in tears. Thank you Tommy for all the good years we had together.
Beautiful story. I miss the old days when games were made to be played with friends in person. Sorry about your friend Tommy. I’m happy you your brother and family got to experience that moment.
The saddest thing about these words is to see that they have really become empty over the years, nowadays they are just games, forgettable, without the commas.. 😢 While these, memorable and unforgettable even after years, you listen the track and remember at the time which game and level was played, showing the level of quality and attention they really had with the games, everything was lost, now they are all more of the same, without emotion, without realism, dull and nothing memorable. Man, i miss the Ps2 era games, 90's and 2000 games was the bests with much less in investiments.
I don’t think anything will ever replicate the feeling of this game. I remember playing this as a kid (my grandad was a WW2 vet) and there’s just so much tied up to this game
williamthebrit well yes. But to me a good WWII game makes sure you know you're part of a squad, that in that squad you are a group of brothers. Most games don't give you time to get that feeling. They just kill them off and you end up not caring because you didn't know them long. For a good WWII game the story should go over...hmm 2 or 3 games, make the characters as human as possible, get you (the player or anyone) emotionally attached to them and then, if the Deva want, get rid of them. Basically I'm saying I want a call of duty, brothers in arms hybrid....or just another brothers in arms really.
@@TheMacMan35 In WWII your brother could have died any day, getting attached over long periods was just not an occurrence that happened often. The team did a good job on the feel of WWII for the most part.
The oldest World War 2 veteran, Mr Frank Levingston, passed away at 110 today. I came here to salute this great man and say thank you. I want you all to do the same.
Best I can do is drop a like... While I'm not one for shooters, my dad introduced me to this game and I kinda of have a sort of appreciation for the older, realistic-war-based shooters.
"Hello Lieutenant Patterson, I'm glad to have you along. I'm Master Sergeant Kelso. We need to evacuate this area immediately. Along the way I need to liberate as many of my men as possible. Go go go!"
good comment lol man I played the fucking hell outta this game I was 8 when it came out and this was my favorite PS2 game till my ma finally bought me GTA vice city, and now I look back 20 years old and my favorite thing about the game is the great soundtrack and atmosphere it inspires(download it recently to play for nostalgia's sake), still a good game, tho it gets old after first playthrough.
In fairness, I feel an allied Soldier in 1944 would probably feel pretty boss if he twirled around then got a headshot on a Nazi while firing from the hip with an m1 garand.
As I am from nijmegen myself, this music is extra touching. I will never forget these brave troopers. they saved my grandparents' lives. Without them I probably would've never existed. I am forever grateful.
Medic The Doctor my great uncle was there, 101st 506th PIR Charlie Company. he always felt bad they couldnt save everyone, and hated the feeling of retreating. he passed away in 2003 from cancer but he faced it bravely! I enlisted as well, was in the 101st as well modern day because of him. his name was Frank Hargis
pay respects to him for me, will you? My great uncle died in the war, being only eleven years old. your uncle may not have saved him. but I believe that everyone, those who have had losses, and even the fallen who look from above, are greatful for the ones he and his companions did save. I'll make sure to always remember.
@@jermoda1 he sings about the city Arnhem itself, Oh mijn Arnhem Oh mijn Arnhem Mijn thuis Arnhem,oh.. Oh my Arnhem Oh my Arnhem My home Arnhem, oh Houdt stand Arnhem Houdt stand Arnhem Zing luid Zing luid Stay strong/hold on/hold out Arnhem Stay strong/hold on/hold out Arnhem Sing loud Sing loud
No other Level in a WWII Shooter has made me feel more immersed in what was going on during this time period than Arnhem Knights. The music hits you & provokes thought, the Level itself puts you in a almost unwinnable situation amidst the eerie & sombre backdrop of war-torn downtown Arnhem.
Definently. The music is sombre because at this point in Market Garden, the airborne troops weren't fighting to take their bridge objectives anymore, they were fighting to survive and break out of a German encirclement from airborne, SS and armoured divisions with no support or heavy weaponry because the operation had failed and the British XXX corp couldn't cross the bridges to reinforce them.
We need more games like Medal of Honor Frontline and Rising Sun. Pieces like this really put the raw emotion into the game and made you feel how desperate the situation was. You don't get this with Call of Duty.
This is one of the reasons I enjoy Medal of Honour more than most other Shooters. While Call of Duty, Battlefield and Resistance are all more entertaining in terms of gameplay, I never really connected with the characters. Thus, cared less if they died. This franchise is one of four that's been able to make me feel more than rage for my defeats or joy for my victories.
I enjoy Call of Duty multiplayer (especially zombies), but that's about it. From Call of Duty 4 onwards, I didn't care for their campaigns. To me, it's just six hours of helicopter crashes and buildings falling over. Also, why continuously pick out Russians as the bad guys? What year is this, 1983?
You did get this with Call of Duty, but the last good COD game was United Offensive. It's been a steady death since, with the exception of COD4 (Modern Warfare). Every other COD after the first and its expansion didn't feel like COD, and I haven't played or bought the game since WAW, which was the last straw for me.
I happened to watch old replays of games I liked when I was younger and heard this levels soundtrack. I had to listen to it again. I use to play this level over and over again just to listen to this beautiful piece.
i hear this and i imagine the sheer desperation the paras had at Arnhem when they realised 30 corps were no longer coming and that they almost certainly weren't going home alive or free, just imagine the horror...the noise..... and the sheer terror of the last stand. God bless the paras...the civilians of Arnhem who were caught in the crossfire and all the polish and american airbourne boys who thought like animals for the freedom of europe along side
This mission really impacted me as a kid.. Going from abandoned house to abandoned house. Seeing the effect this war had on such a common looking neighborhood, all while you walk alone. Just you, your gun, and your wits as the desolate pristine neighborhood gives way to shelled out brick buildings, the sound of gunfire and the cries of those fighting and dying... Really hit me hard.. I've never been quite as immersed by a game since..
"Go! now! I've got you covered!" Jesus. the memories. the childhood memories! I was 11 when I first played this game. Back in 2006. I was just a kid...
Goodbye to another American hero. Richard Overton who passed away today at 112 years old. You are now reunited with your comrades you cigar, whiskey drinking American badass. We owe you so much sir. Thank you for your service.
@@davecrupel2817 that was a reference to the show cowboy bebop. A shaman is speaking to a man who notices a star die out. He tells him every warrior is born with a star and when the warrior falls that star goes out. Just applying that concept here.
Walking through that desolate city with nothing but you and your gun. Only a couple of soldiers to help you and they don't last. The feeling of isolation and everything resting on your shoulders was fantastic in this game. Where are these games now?
TotallyToonsTV Loaded onto the PS3! I'm not sure we will ever see games like this again, but if we do it will be fantastic. The amazing part is, the graphics weren't state of the art, most characters hardly spoke, and there wasn't a three page bio/back-story on those that did, but you felt a connection to many of the characters and small story moments anyway. The game didn't glorify war, or make speeches on its horrors, it just places you in an area with a mission and some nameless soldiers, and allows you fill in the rest.
TotallyToonsTV Am I the only one here who recently replayed this game and found the only thing really memorable about it was this song? I knew what I felt as a kid, and that was good, but I feel like another game that tightens things up from this would be far superior. the level this song was in was difficult, but I don't feel like it's a very fair difficult, and that it's more of a crap-shoot. Unless of course that's the entire idea, but, something still feels off about the level's music being somber, but not me feeling somber with it, instead I feel annoyed while trying to get to the end. I know for a fact the bullet spongy enemies have something to do with it at least. I'm just iffy and on the fence about the whole thing that maybe it's just that it's getting rather aged, again, going back to the idea of someone cleaning it up would make it significantly better for today.
+tysswe1 or "Rough Landing"....the sound of distant thunder, cows grazing in the pastures, chickens clucking around the barns, the locals cleaning and going about their daily routines as you and your squad run past in calculated urgency to face the Germans
To me it felt like different mini stages each getting harder and harder every time you go to the next area. Especially the one area with a bunch of Panzerschreck men
Respect to those poor red devils fighting an inevitable result. I wonder just how many examples of courage and sacrifice were made during those dark days in Arnhem, tales that will never be told.
Ryan Wunderlin CoD WW2 doesn't hold a flame to this masterpiece of a game... (My humble opinion by the way, if you think CoD WW2 is the great, all power to you, man)
Oh my Arnhem, oh my Arnhem. (Oh my Arnhem, oh my Arnhem.) My home Arnhem, oh. (My home Arnhem, oh.) Oh my Arnhem, oh my Arnhem. My home Arnhem, oh. Oh my Arnhem, oh my Arnhem. My home Arnhem, oh. Keep strong, Arnhem. Holds strong. (Hold strong, Arnhem. Hold strong.) Keep strong, Arnhem. Holds strong. Keep strong, Arnhem. Holds strong. Keep strong, Arnhem. Sing loud! Sing proudly! (Sing loud! Sing proud!) Oh my Arnhem, oh my Arnhem. My home Arnhem, oh. Keep strong, Arnhem. Sing loud! Sing proudly! Oh my Arnhem, oh my Arnhem. My home Arnhem, oh.
@ApostleOfWonka rough translation is Oh my Arnhem (x2) My home Arnhem, oh Oh my Arnhem (x2) My home Arnhem, oh Oh my Arnhem (x2) My home Arnhem, oh Be Strong, Arnhem. x3 Stay Strong. Stay Strong Arnhem Sing loud Sing strong Oh my Arnhem (x2) My home Arnhem, oh Stay Strong Arnhem Sing loud Sing strong Oh my Arnhem (x2) My home Arnhem, oh
what those lyrics are real? I cant believe it. I was born 15km away from Arnhem and never knew this were the lyrics.. Maybe the italian producer tried for a different accent, Ive always loved this song and never knew this thank you.l
This is the level I cried upon once. I played it multiple times over the years, since it came out, but recently, when I puffed the dust over the PS2 and tried to play MoH front line, I had different view of life than before, when I was inexperienced in life... The music just broke me down.. The horrors of war, the loss, destroyed lives, destroyed homes, killed innocents, killed young soldier, for what cause ? That was horrible, the WW2 was horrible. The life is sometimes horrible. But we must push on. We must endure, we must bring justice and common sense even if it means destruction. Such horrible choices makes us unclean. Leaves us scarred for life, but with the hope that our children will not have to endure the same. It just broke me in to tears.
I really wish that MoH would return to WWII. It was slightly overused after a while between them and CoD, and while both were great franchises for the Era, I really enjoyed MoH's story more. I remember the intro theme for Frontlines to storming Normandy, to riding and elephant in Rising Sun to find my brother. Even an HD remake of these would be remarkable. Unfortuantly, I dought many would agree.
Personally I think that new medal of honors have some of the greatest storylines I have ever seen in a game. I love how they do a tribute to the troops after every MoH. Though I do think that MoH should do another WWII game.
Well good thing they made a HD remake of Frontline. Rising Storm wasn't all that great...it had too many poor flaws like the AI and the campaign was very short.
You hit the nail on the head saying that WWII was overdone - even my teenage self became acutely aware of just how much WWII was being spammed a few years back. Unfortunately it's the same with 'modern combat' style settings - I remember when BF2 was still being developed; its contemporary setting was actually being considered risky/controversial! I think a return to WWII would be good, but first I'd like to see more Sci-Fi settings explored; Battlefield 2142 is in dire need of a remake and Titanfall is just boss.
I didn't get the chance to play Frontline until like 2010-2011. I got in my freshman year of high school and started playing it because I wanted to see what FPS games used to be like a decade previously. And I loved it. Something about these older FPS games seems so much more atmospheric and demonstrative of war realities than modern shoot fest games.
It's finals week. I'm sick as a dog, staring down three finals and a paper and this music pops into my head. I guess my subconscious considers this a desperate, losing fight...
Unfortunately, Lt. Patterson, our boys are in the same fix all across the line. Hang in there, Jimmy. Do not, under any circumstances, give Jerry the satisfaction of watching you crumble. Good luck, Lieutenant!
I decided to replay this game after... well, years. I had almost completely forgotten about this level, but when it came about, I was so excited to replay it. But it hit me during this: Imagine how the people who survived these situations felt: People you would think couldn't possibly die. They were too good, too durable, they had too much going for them. And yet you get to survive because you were a better shot. Maybe it was because you decided to stay behind covor a moment longer than you buddy. Just imagine having that running through your head while making your way out of the rubble... "And when he gets to heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: One more soldier reporting, Sir. I've served my time in hell."
I'll never forget playing this game. This level with this music. Sniping that German on the rooftop and then hearing him scream as he falls to the ground against this music. Sums that war up in a nutshell. I'm so glad I didn't have to be there for real.
I agree. That is easily the most memorable part of that level for me. This track and "After the Drop" are Michael Giacchino's finest pieces of his career.
JagdPanther101 I could listen to any of this game's classical pieces and I would instantly recognize them. Yet listening to any of COD's songs, they are pure white noise to me and mean nothing, even though I played through all the games.
Brought this level and game into my history class when we were discussing history in the media. Got everybodies attention including the professor at my school that does veterans interviews. Dang level spooked everyone with this music in the backround.
@Recce Prepper Even a defeat like Arnhem is still a battle honour to be proud of. Your uncles and John Frost's men fought tooth and nail to hold that town. They are the Arnhem Knights. R.I.P.
I may have a certain obsession with the German military of WW2, but what I will never forget, are the chaps of the commonwealth. Canadians, British, and the Australians/New Zealanders deserve so much more respect then they get.
80 years ago as of today, an entire group of souls from all walks of life came together on a beach in Normandy, France all with one goal in mind. To save the world from a dark future so that all people could be free. Some didn’t make it home and made the ultimate sacrifice but every person who was on that beach gave something that day to ensure the free world could be a better place for our children. We honor their bravery with the hope no other generation will have to repeat it.
Man before COD it was MOH. F in the chat for all those years of memories. This game will be like a sibling to me. It was always there to play everyday after school.
I feel the same way. It brought feelings of joy gameplaywise and sadness historywise at the same time. None of the games at the time did capture the feel of the WW to the young public. It still is awesome to this day.
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- Technically, yes. The quote is from Morgan Shepherd's narration at the end of the Market-Garden missions in the game. I'm hazy on how far allied soldiers fell back after the operation fell apart, but if you read Band of Brothers the 506 PIR were one of the few, and quite possibly only, unit that held the Germans on "their side of the Rhine" as of late October. Captain Winters's ambush of the SS units was on 25 October if I remember right, and Easy Company helped evacuate what remained of the Red Devils out of Arnhem a little later.
medal of honor frontline was the most emotional ww2 game ever I was 11 when it came out and all the music from this game was burnt in my memory the crys from the ai soldiers the old lady shaking why holding the broom the soldier hanging on the windmill dying it felt real the hole drama of the war was captured so well in this game more so then any other ww2 game
I see many comments from years ago, I feel to add my 2 cents. I'm the youngest of 3 brothers, all of whom were fascinated by world war 1 and 2. My eldest brother enlisted in the SA Army then later in the airforce. I too became obsessed with war history, the effects of lives taken, the aftermath on those who survived, families saved and not saved. When I played this game as a kid/teenager and more so the mission Arnham Knights, i felt fully immersed with this song playing in the background, it always touched me to my core. As I grew up I my interest just kept growing, from watching every movie, documentary, war footage, reading books that I consider myself a student of historical war. But today I am finally able to understand why i felt so moved by this song/anthem. Thank you to all who has been able to shed light on what the true meaning behind this song is. All brothers in arms, fallen and not, i will always remember. To give your life willingly. We should all really earn, the sacrifice so many made for us, to live in a free world. Thank you🫡🙏🏻
I grew up playing this game on my Nintendo Gamecube, must have been less than 9 years old.. I'm 16 now, to think it was that long ago is just insane. There didn't need to be any action-packed Multiplayer experience, with people flying all over the place in Exo-suits. Just me spending hours playing the campaign over and over, and it never got old. I wish they'd remaster this for PC at least, just so that we can re-live the good ol' days. The FPS genre really needs another AAA WW2 - themed game soon.
I agree. This game was my thing in the early 2000s and the PS2 era. I would like to see a Korean War themed FPS sometime as well. Im surprised there isn't any by now..
I'm 17...when I hear the soundtracks to this game, I close my eyes, I am about 5-7 years old and sitting in front of my television. This brings me back easier than any picture, home recording, or memory ever will. This game wasn't just a game. It was beautiful. This was artistic integrity. We can't find anything like this anymore. You have to appreciate these things, because it isn't around anymore. Just hearing the classic GameCube startup music takes me right back to when I first got one at age 4. Man, what I would do and give to go back to those years...cheers!
I remember playing this on PS2, and hearing this with the crackle of gunfire in the distance and mortar rounds whistling in the air. All the while I was trying to keep all my allies alive on the hardest difficulty only to see them cut down by snipers, mowed down by an mg42, or blown up by a tank. Feels bad man :(
Im a big nerd for videogame ost and I have never heard this. Its so good, it really is a sad song but comforting? Excellent job to those that composed this.
Sometimes I would kinda just roam around the map listening to this instead of actually playing the mission. It was almost eerie how quiet it would be listening to this but hearing the occasional German soldier yelling or shooting. I wish I could go back to those days.
Grew up always playing "army" with my friends, listening to this song, playing the missions and many other historic war games like this one...sung to the patriotic side I had as a child. Needless to say I'm enlisted now and probably deploying within the year after a few years in. Amazing how time changes but my mind never did, If you asked me as a kid what I wanted to do when I get older I'd tell you the same thing as I'm doing now. Beautiful how something like a video game or a song can bring out your inner patriotism. This song always brought a tear to my eye because it always made me think about those who fought before me, so that I could willingly enlist on my own free will and aspire to be as amazing as these men.
The Mission in where you help the WWI veteran fight in his back yard made me cry every time.. In these Dark times as we rest on the brink of global war let us remember the costs of the wars bygone.. We deserve peace on Earth.
@@mikehamilton646 at one point in the mission when your transporting a captured German medical truck there's an old man, the ww1 vet, who takes a shotgun out of the shed in his back yard and helps you fight the Germans. Sadly he is killed by a sniper moments later.
Now I'm 18, I get all the references to countless films crammed into this game. One of the best PS2 games in my humble opinion and the best game of my childhood.
Lol just realized she's speaking dutch in this piece! (The accent isn't quite accurate lol) A translation would be: Oh my Arnhem Oh my Arnhem, My home Arnhem, oh Oh my Arnhem Oh my Arnhem, My home Arnhem, oh Hold strong, Arnhem. Hold strong! Hold strong, Arnhem. Hold strong! Hold strong, Arnhem. Hold strong! Hold strong, Arnhem. Sing loud! Sing proud! Oh my Arnhem, My home Arnhem, oh
I love watching these videos. I used to think heros didn't exist, but then I was lucky enough to go to Arnhem. Everyone should go at least once in their life.
@@casper6405 The destruction of the 1st Air Borne division in Arnhem was like the Allied version of the doomed 6th army in Stalingrad. Both forces surrounded and fought to the end.
Totally listening to this on my last day at work. COVID-19...who would’ve thought this would be happening on this day. Much love and prayers for everyone e-my heart weeps out for everyone, past and present. I hope we all find our eternal peace. RIP to those who have lost their lives and RIP to all of the people I’ve lost along the way. One day we will have our Nirvana.
Even today, I enjoy this game more than any modern shooter. The missions were superb, the plot was outstanding, and the music was amazing. My Dad and I use to play this all the time. Our favorite track was "Escaping Gotha". This music brings back so many memories.
I remember all the old medal of honor games. But when I think about them,this song and the level always come to mind. It's one of the best songs in a game ever.
This song is a heartbreaker... totally, i remember me being completly surprised crying during i was playing Arnhem knights mission... A fucking great game, i miss games like this one who had a true soul and submersed completly gamers, thank you to share this soundtrack it's just awesome :)
I don't know if someone cares, it has nothing to do with arnhem specifically. But since im in the ww2 mood, i'd like to talk about a story my parents told me about their parents.... My grandparents lived in Friesland. It's a province in the north of Holland. There was a dike constructed between Friesland and North holland to the west in the 1930s. The Germans checked it regularly. My grandparents had jew relatives in Hoorn. Hoorn is northeast of Amsterdam. The dike was constructed but people couldnt move freely across the former 30km of sea anymore. In 1944-1945, the english, american, canadian, and polish forced moved through Holland and did not have time to free the rest. Although the resistance they encountered was harsh, the northern parts didn't see alot of the combat. Instead they had to starve. All the food was taken, the winter was devistating, and nobody had food. People stole, became primitive and did whatever they had to do. My grandmother biked all the way from Friesland to Northern holland (Naarden, and then it was taken to family in Hoorn) to bring food because my grandparents had a farm. They apparently did this many times. Incredible how people lived those days and did whatever they had to do.
Yes. It is not a well known fact outside of the Netherlands, but some 24,000 people died of starvation during the famine that the failure of that operation caused.
I love this song. Makes me sad for those that lost their lives in violent warfare. I also feel emotionally connected with the song, like if i am a spirit, and this music has spiritual power in it.
Admittedly...this game,some movies and talks with the veterans of WW2 is what fueled the fires in me ,to get me started in the WW2 reenacting hobby,lol.
This game was released 21 years ago. 21 years.... I used to play this level on my GC over and over just to hear this haunting piece of music. I have not heard its equal in any game released since. Period.
My friend Tommy and I used to play this together and we could never beat the last level. We were so close. Years past and we almost forgot about the game. Tommy passed away in 2015. In his honor and to continue his legacy, me and my brother finished the level for him. I swear I felt his presence in the room when we beat the level. To this day I remember my brother and I screaming at the top of our lungs when we beat it.

These old First Person Shooters were so lonely and atmospheric, a far cry from the busy explosion filled messes of the modern FPS genre.
williamthebrit yeah that's true. Old MoH games were often you vs the German army all by yourself or assisted by a few NPC's
williamthebrit well yes. But to me a good WWII game makes sure you know you're part of a squad, that in that squad you are a group of brothers. Most games don't give you time to get that feeling. They just kill them off and you end up not caring because you didn't know them long.

You must have never grew up in 2002
@@TheMacMan35 In WWII your brother could have died any day, getting attached over long periods was just not an occurrence that happened often. The team did a good job on the feel of WWII for the most part.
Bear in mind though that MoH was the big daddy of the "Modern Military Shooter" genre.
The oldest World War 2 veteran, Mr Frank Levingston, passed away at 110 today. I came here to salute this great man and say thank you. I want you all to do the same.
May you rest in forever peace, Mr. Patterson. One more soldier reporting for duty for the last time, I guess. We salute you.
as he said to saint peter " one more solider reporting for duty....i served my time in hell"
Rest in paradise Mr. Levingston. Thank you for everything you did for us.
Best I can do is drop a like... While I'm not one for shooters, my dad introduced me to this game and I kinda of have a sort of appreciation for the older, realistic-war-based shooters.

Medic The Doctor my great uncle was there, 101st 506th PIR Charlie Company. he always felt bad they couldnt save everyone, and hated the feeling of retreating. he passed away in 2003 from cancer but he faced it bravely! I enlisted as well, was in the 101st as well modern day because of him. his name was Frank Hargis
pay respects to him for me, will you? My great uncle died in the war, being only eleven years old. your uncle may not have saved him. but I believe that everyone, those who have had losses, and even the fallen who look from above, are greatful for the ones he and his companions did save. I'll make sure to always remember.
Do you know what the boy in this song is singing and what it means?
@@jermoda1 he sings about the city Arnhem itself,
Oh mijn Arnhem
Oh mijn Arnhem
Mijn thuis Arnhem,oh..
Oh my Arnhem
Oh my Arnhem
My home Arnhem, oh
Houdt stand Arnhem
Houdt stand Arnhem
Zing luid
Zing luid
Stay strong/hold on/hold out Arnhem
Stay strong/hold on/hold out Arnhem
Sing loud
Sing loud
Now knowing the lyrics and knowing the story behind the battle makes this song all the more emotional.
No other Level in a WWII Shooter has made me feel more immersed in what was going on during this time period than Arnhem Knights. The music hits you & provokes thought, the Level itself puts you in a almost unwinnable situation amidst the eerie & sombre backdrop of war-torn downtown Arnhem.
Definently. The music is sombre because at this point in Market Garden, the airborne troops weren't fighting to take their bridge objectives anymore, they were fighting to survive and break out of a German encirclement from airborne, SS and armoured divisions with no support or heavy weaponry because the operation had failed and the British XXX corp couldn't cross the bridges to reinforce them.
I loved how in the earlier level, the environment was relatively intact, but once you enter the city, everything is in ruins.
We need more games like Medal of Honor Frontline and Rising Sun. Pieces like this really put the raw emotion into the game and made you feel how desperate the situation was. You don't get this with Call of Duty.
This is one of the reasons I enjoy Medal of Honour more than most other Shooters. While Call of Duty, Battlefield and Resistance are all more entertaining in terms of gameplay, I never really connected with the characters. Thus, cared less if they died. This franchise is one of four that's been able to make me feel more than rage for my defeats or joy for my victories.
Captain Fordo The two best games are the medal of honor and the socom games. Wish they made more games like them
I enjoy Call of Duty multiplayer (especially zombies), but that's about it. From Call of Duty 4 onwards, I didn't care for their campaigns. To me, it's just six hours of helicopter crashes and buildings falling over.
Also, why continuously pick out Russians as the bad guys? What year is this, 1983?
You did get this with Call of Duty, but the last good COD game was United Offensive. It's been a steady death since, with the exception of COD4 (Modern Warfare). Every other COD after the first and its expansion didn't feel like COD, and I haven't played or bought the game since WAW, which was the last straw for me.
CptSchmidt never heard og united offensive, to be honest, what's it about?
One of the greatest video game songs in existens.
I happened to watch old replays of games I liked when I was younger and heard this levels soundtrack. I had to listen to it again. I use to play this level over and over again just to listen to this beautiful piece.
after the drop is a close second personaly
i hear this and i imagine the sheer desperation the paras had at Arnhem when they realised 30 corps were no longer coming and that they almost certainly weren't going home alive or free, just imagine the horror...the noise..... and the sheer terror of the last stand. God bless the paras...the civilians of Arnhem who were caught in the crossfire and all the polish and american airbourne boys who thought like animals for the freedom of europe along side
i said paras i was talking about the parachute reg of course

Its the same.

This mission really impacted me as a kid.. Going from abandoned house to abandoned house. Seeing the effect this war had on such a common looking neighborhood, all while you walk alone. Just you, your gun, and your wits as the desolate pristine neighborhood gives way to shelled out brick buildings, the sound of gunfire and the cries of those fighting and dying... Really hit me hard.. I've never been quite as immersed by a game since..
I was wounded in the Great War
I still wonder what it was all for
I show no scars or broken skin
The wounds are all deeply within
I saw comrades big and small
I saw some stand, I saw some fall
Some by rifle, some by bayonet
Those scenes I never will forget
I saw men as I went passed
Some were dead some knew it was there last
For some there was no future only past
Some never knew they had been gassed
Some hung on a barbed wire line
For they too had run out of time
Others had done the best they could
Lying in a pool of blood
I saw men kneeling as though in prayer
Asking God for another day
I saw men embrace each other
For they fought as a band of brothers
amen

@@davecrupel2817 that was a reference to the show cowboy bebop. A shaman is speaking to a man who notices a star die out. He tells him every warrior is born with a star and when the warrior falls that star goes out. Just applying that concept here.
It's strange listening to this from my room in Arnhem. Very good piece.
Walking through that desolate city with nothing but you and your gun. Only a couple of soldiers to help you and they don't last. The feeling of isolation and everything resting on your shoulders was fantastic in this game. Where are these games now?
TotallyToonsTV Loaded onto the PS3! I'm not sure we will ever see games like this again, but if we do it will be fantastic.
The amazing part is, the graphics weren't state of the art, most characters hardly spoke, and there wasn't a three page bio/back-story on those that did, but you felt a connection to many of the characters and small story moments anyway. The game didn't glorify war, or make speeches on its horrors, it just places you in an area with a mission and some nameless soldiers, and allows you fill in the rest.
TotallyToonsTV And the sound of distant gunfire. This was magical to play as a kid.
TotallyToonsTV Am I the only one here who recently replayed this game and found the only thing really memorable about it was this song?
I knew what I felt as a kid, and that was good, but I feel like another game that tightens things up from this would be far superior. the level this song was in was difficult, but I don't feel like it's a very fair difficult, and that it's more of a crap-shoot.
Unless of course that's the entire idea, but, something still feels off about the level's music being somber, but not me feeling somber with it, instead I feel annoyed while trying to get to the end.
I know for a fact the bullet spongy enemies have something to do with it at least.
I'm just iffy and on the fence about the whole thing that maybe it's just that it's getting rather aged, again, going back to the idea of someone cleaning it up would make it significantly better for today.
+tysswe1 or "Rough Landing"....the sound of distant thunder, cows grazing in the pastures, chickens clucking around the barns, the locals cleaning and going about their daily routines as you and your squad run past in calculated urgency to face the Germans
To me it felt like different mini stages each getting harder and harder every time you go to the next area. Especially the one area with a bunch of Panzerschreck men
Respect to those poor red devils fighting an inevitable result. I wonder just how many examples of courage and sacrifice were made during those dark days in Arnhem, tales that will never be told.
10,000 dropped. 3000 made it out
Out of ammo. God Save The King
So many, I'm a American, but i can't denie a Brit when they bravely stand and say "god save the king" and charge into battle without any ammo.

Halo. Too close for me to call.

Have you ever played Battlefield 1?
The tears are wet, salty too.
This is and probably still is the best WW2 FPS ever made.

(My humble opinion by the way, if you think CoD WW2 is the great, all power to you, man)
@ Cpt. Cartman I like Moh1 and Underground much more, but you are right with this opinion
Wunzy Gaming doesn’t COD WW2 kind of copy saving private ryan?
The bots in this are smarter than most CoD players! Fucking epic ww2

I remeber muting the sound effects and voices, and turning the music louder!

This is the level I cried upon once. I played it multiple times over the years, since it came out, but recently, when I puffed the dust over the PS2 and tried to play MoH front line, I had different view of life than before, when I was inexperienced in life...
The music just broke me down.. The horrors of war, the loss, destroyed lives, destroyed homes, killed innocents, killed young soldier, for what cause ? That was horrible, the WW2 was horrible. The life is sometimes horrible. But we must push on. We must endure, we must bring justice and common sense even if it means destruction. Such horrible choices makes us unclean. Leaves us scarred for life, but with the hope that our children will not have to endure the same. It just broke me in to tears.
Fuck man, this comment hits hard right now
😮 great comment
I really wish that MoH would return to WWII. It was slightly overused after a while between them and CoD, and while both were great franchises for the Era, I really enjoyed MoH's story more. I remember the intro theme for Frontlines to storming Normandy, to riding and elephant in Rising Sun to find my brother. Even an HD remake of these would be remarkable. Unfortuantly, I dought many would agree.
It is sad that it is that way, most people are stupid nowadays Im afraid.
TheKingraptor724 Hm, couldnt agree more'
Personally I think that new medal of honors have some of the greatest storylines I have ever seen in a game. I love how they do a tribute to the troops after every MoH. Though I do think that MoH should do another WWII game.
Well good thing they made a HD remake of Frontline. Rising Storm wasn't all that great...it had too many poor flaws like the AI and the campaign was very short.
You hit the nail on the head saying that WWII was overdone - even my teenage self became acutely aware of just how much WWII was being spammed a few years back.
Unfortunately it's the same with 'modern combat' style settings - I remember when BF2 was still being developed; its contemporary setting was actually being considered risky/controversial!
I think a return to WWII would be good, but first I'd like to see more Sci-Fi settings explored; Battlefield 2142 is in dire need of a remake and Titanfall is just boss.
I didn't get the chance to play Frontline until like 2010-2011. I got in my freshman year of high school and started playing it because I wanted to see what FPS games used to be like a decade previously. And I loved it. Something about these older FPS games seems so much more atmospheric and demonstrative of war realities than modern shoot fest games.
BassTrombone95 i got this game in like 2002 on ps2 like when it was still fairly new, gosh i remember how hard it was at first
Oh mijn Arnhem, oh mijn Arnhem.(Oh my Arnhem, oh my Arnhem.)
Mijn thuis Arnhem, oh. (My home Arnhem, oh.)
Oh mijn Arnhem, oh mijn Arnhem.
Mijn thuis Arnhem, oh.
Oh mijn Arnhem, oh mijn Arnhem.
Mijn thuis Arnhem, oh.
Houdt sterk, Arnhem. Houdt sterk. (Hold strong, Arnhem. Hold strong.)
Houdt sterk, Arnhem. Houdt sterk.
Houdt sterk, Arnhem. Houdt sterk.
Houdt sterk, Arnhem.
Zing luid! Zing trots! (Sing loud! Sing proud!)
Oh mijn Arnhem, oh mijn Arnhem.
Mijn thuis Arnhem, oh.
Houdt sterk, Arnhem.
Zing luid! Zing trots!
Oh mijn Arnhem, oh mijn Arnhem.
Mijn thuis Arnhem, oh.
This is by far my favorite track in the soundtrack and maybe in any game or WWII film ever. Band Of Brothers is second in that category.
It's finals week. I'm sick as a dog, staring down three finals and a paper and this music pops into my head. I guess my subconscious considers this a desperate, losing fight...
Unfortunately, Lt. Patterson, our boys are in the same fix all across the line. Hang in there, Jimmy. Do not, under any circumstances, give Jerry the satisfaction of watching you crumble. Good luck, Lieutenant!
Casper DaGhost Read in Colonel Hargrove's voice. lol

I decided to replay this game after... well, years. I had almost completely forgotten about this level, but when it came about, I was so excited to replay it. But it hit me during this: Imagine how the people who survived these situations felt: People you would think couldn't possibly die. They were too good, too durable, they had too much going for them. And yet you get to survive because you were a better shot. Maybe it was because you decided to stay behind covor a moment longer than you buddy. Just imagine having that running through your head while making your way out of the rubble...
"And when he gets to heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: One more soldier reporting, Sir.
I've served my time in hell."
I'll never forget playing this game. This level with this music. Sniping that German on the rooftop and then hearing him scream as he falls to the ground against this music. Sums that war up in a nutshell. I'm so glad I didn't have to be there for real.
I agree. That is easily the most memorable part of that level for me. This track and "After the Drop" are Michael Giacchino's finest pieces of his career.
JagdPanther101 I could listen to any of this game's classical pieces and I would instantly recognize them. Yet listening to any of COD's songs, they are pure white noise to me and mean nothing, even though I played through all the games.
One of the greatest OSTs to ever capture a moment that can only be defined as perseverance and dignity
Beautiful music. Awesome game. Makes me shed a tear just listening to it. Wish games were more passionate, just like the old days.
Brought this level and game into my history class when we were discussing history in the media. Got everybodies attention including the professor at my school that does veterans interviews. Dang level spooked everyone with this music in the backround.
This song is called Arnham knights, i had 2 great uncles both British paratroopers killed in action at Arnham.
Immensely proud.
May their soul rest in peace. A big salute to your 2 great uncles.
@Recce Prepper Even a defeat like Arnhem is still a battle honour to be proud of. Your uncles and John Frost's men fought tooth and nail to hold that town. They are the Arnhem Knights. R.I.P.
Tomorrow marks 75 years since the war in Europe ended rest in peace all the souls who died on both sides ❤️
I may have a certain obsession with the German military of WW2, but what I will never forget, are the chaps of the commonwealth. Canadians, British, and the Australians/New Zealanders deserve so much more respect then they get.
80 years ago as of today, an entire group of souls from all walks of life came together on a beach in Normandy, France all with one goal in mind. To save the world from a dark future so that all people could be free. Some didn’t make it home and made the ultimate sacrifice but every person who was on that beach gave something that day to ensure the free world could be a better place for our children. We honor their bravery with the hope no other generation will have to repeat it.
Man before COD it was MOH. F in the chat for all those years of memories. This game will be like a sibling to me. It was always there to play everyday after school.
I feel the same way. It brought feelings of joy gameplaywise and sadness historywise at the same time. None of the games at the time did capture the feel of the WW to the young public. It still is awesome to this day.
This was pretty much the most dramatic level of any game (war or otherwise) that I have ever played. :')
"... 8,000 would be left behind. The Dutch would not see liberation for another seven months."
@Jordan Bagbey Wasn't Eindhoven and Nijmegen liberated?
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- Technically, yes. The quote is from Morgan Shepherd's narration at the end of the Market-Garden missions in the game. I'm hazy on how far allied soldiers fell back after the operation fell apart, but if you read Band of Brothers the 506 PIR were one of the few, and quite possibly only, unit that held the Germans on "their side of the Rhine" as of late October. Captain Winters's ambush of the SS units was on 25 October if I remember right, and Easy Company helped evacuate what remained of the Red Devils out of Arnhem a little later.
medal of honor frontline was the most emotional ww2 game ever I was 11 when it came out and all the music from this game was burnt in my memory the crys from the ai soldiers the old lady shaking why holding the broom the soldier hanging on the windmill dying it felt real the hole drama of the war was captured so well in this game more so then any other ww2 game
I looked this up to see if any one else still does.
Not disappointed.
This is one of the best songs in any videogame soundtrack I've ever heard
Everytime I play this song I fight back tears...
I see many comments from years ago, I feel to add my 2 cents. I'm the youngest of 3 brothers, all of whom were fascinated by world war 1 and 2. My eldest brother enlisted in the SA Army then later in the airforce. I too became obsessed with war history, the effects of lives taken, the aftermath on those who survived, families saved and not saved. When I played this game as a kid/teenager and more so the mission Arnham Knights, i felt fully immersed with this song playing in the background, it always touched me to my core. As I grew up I my interest just kept growing, from watching every movie, documentary, war footage, reading books that I consider myself a student of historical war. But today I am finally able to understand why i felt so moved by this song/anthem. Thank you to all who has been able to shed light on what the true meaning behind this song is. All brothers in arms, fallen and not, i will always remember. To give your life willingly. We should all really earn, the sacrifice so many made for us, to live in a free world. Thank you🫡🙏🏻
I grew up playing this game on my Nintendo Gamecube, must have been less than 9 years old.. I'm 16 now, to think it was that long ago is just insane. There didn't need to be any action-packed Multiplayer experience, with people flying all over the place in Exo-suits. Just me spending hours playing the campaign over and over, and it never got old. I wish they'd remaster this for PC at least, just so that we can re-live the good ol' days. The FPS genre really needs another AAA WW2 - themed game soon.
I agree. This game was my thing in the early 2000s and the PS2 era. I would like to see a Korean War themed FPS sometime as well. Im surprised there isn't any by now..
im in the same boat as you pal :D
I had this game on GameCube and later for PS2. I bought this game for the Xbox to play on my Xbox 360 and I got hit with so much nostalgia
I'm 17...when I hear the soundtracks to this game, I close my eyes, I am about 5-7 years old and sitting in front of my television. This brings me back easier than any picture, home recording, or memory ever will. This game wasn't just a game. It was beautiful. This was artistic integrity. We can't find anything like this anymore. You have to appreciate these things, because it isn't around anymore. Just hearing the classic GameCube startup music takes me right back to when I first got one at age 4. Man, what I would do and give to go back to those years...cheers!
This game came out in 2002.... wtf were u doing playing it? You were 1 year old!
I remember playing this on PS2, and hearing this with the crackle of gunfire in the distance and mortar rounds whistling in the air. All the while I was trying to keep all my allies alive on the hardest difficulty only to see them cut down by snipers, mowed down by an mg42, or blown up by a tank. Feels bad man :(
Working retail during Thanksgiving Shopping Season and this came into my head out of the blue. Panzers are approaching lads, courage now.
You know i live in arnhem NL. Can definetly were all very thankful for the help we got. my whole country is, to this day.
Im a big nerd for videogame ost and I have never heard this. Its so good, it really is a sad song but comforting? Excellent job to those that composed this.
Remember this so much. Listening to it now gives me goosebumps.
Sometimes I would kinda just roam around the map listening to this instead of actually playing the mission. It was almost eerie how quiet it would be listening to this but hearing the occasional German soldier yelling or shooting. I wish I could go back to those days.
I spend so many times replaying the missions that’s how good this game was
Playing this on my 2001 Xbox now, soo much has changed in the world and in my life since the first time I played this way back in 2004 :’(

Grew up always playing "army" with my friends, listening to this song, playing the missions and many other historic war games like this one...sung to the patriotic side I had as a child.
Needless to say I'm enlisted now and probably deploying within the year after a few years in. Amazing how time changes but my mind never did, If you asked me as a kid what I wanted to do when I get older I'd tell you the same thing as I'm doing now.
Beautiful how something like a video game or a song can bring out your inner patriotism.
This song always brought a tear to my eye because it always made me think about those who fought before me, so that I could willingly enlist on my own free will and aspire to be as amazing as these men.
3:10 -3:30 so Epic brings Goosebumps :')

@@casper6405 The destruction of the 1st Air Borne division in Arnhem was like the Allied version of the doomed 6th army in Stalingrad. Both forces surrounded and fought to the end.
I would pay anything to see this magnificent piece played live. This song speaks to my soul. This was one of the first games I've played.
I can't think of a single mission in this game I didn't love playing. The entire soundtrack was amazing!
Totally listening to this on my last day at work. COVID-19...who would’ve thought this would be happening on this day. Much love and prayers for everyone e-my heart weeps out for everyone, past and present. I hope we all find our eternal peace. RIP to those who have lost their lives and RIP to all of the people I’ve lost along the way. One day we will have our Nirvana.
BRING BACK MEDAL OF HONOR
Even today, I enjoy this game more than any modern shooter. The missions were superb, the plot was outstanding, and the music was amazing. My Dad and I use to play this all the time. Our favorite track was "Escaping Gotha". This music brings back so many memories.
This is a hard level
Why can't we have more games like this now adays? ;-;
It's because some kids today only listen to that dupstep shit
yeah i really like two steps from hell and audiomachine nice music :D
@@silvergirnuz Now its K-Pop
I remember all the old medal of honor games. But when I think about them,this song and the level always come to mind. It's one of the best songs in a game ever.

This song is a heartbreaker... totally, i remember me being completly surprised crying during i was playing Arnhem knights mission... A fucking great game, i miss games like this one who had a true soul and submersed completly gamers, thank you to share this soundtrack it's just awesome :)
I don't know if someone cares, it has nothing to do with arnhem specifically. But since im in the ww2 mood, i'd like to talk about a story my parents told me about their parents.... My grandparents lived in Friesland. It's a province in the north of Holland. There was a dike constructed between Friesland and North holland to the west in the 1930s. The Germans checked it regularly. My grandparents had jew relatives in Hoorn. Hoorn is northeast of Amsterdam. The dike was constructed but people couldnt move freely across the former 30km of sea anymore. In 1944-1945, the english, american, canadian, and polish forced moved through Holland and did not have time to free the rest. Although the resistance they encountered was harsh, the northern parts didn't see alot of the combat. Instead they had to starve. All the food was taken, the winter was devistating, and nobody had food. People stole, became primitive and did whatever they had to do. My grandmother biked all the way from Friesland to Northern holland (Naarden, and then it was taken to family in Hoorn) to bring food because my grandparents had a farm. They apparently did this many times. Incredible how people lived those days and did whatever they had to do.
Yes. It is not a well known fact outside of the Netherlands, but some 24,000 people died of starvation during the famine that the failure of that operation caused.
I'm still here.
Every year I'm here on DDay listening to this. Beautiful encapsulation of the many feelings of war.
I love this song. Makes me sad for those that lost their lives in violent warfare. I also feel emotionally connected with the song, like if i am a spirit, and this music has spiritual power in it.
Admittedly...this game,some movies and talks with the veterans of WW2 is what fueled the fires in me ,to get me started in the WW2 reenacting hobby,lol.
This game was released 21 years ago. 21 years.... I used to play this level on my GC over and over just to hear this haunting piece of music. I have not heard its equal in any game released since. Period.
