Sadly, it is now truly forgotten. The new generations of game have replace it. Metal Gear franchise is now just another washed-up franchise that people knew the name but did not give a fuck about.
@@johncarter4956 i dont totally agree, although i hate the fact that its been brushed aside and the new generation will never know its greatness. its never washed up though and never forgotten by the true fans, its in all our souls and no one can take that away. I feel lucky to of been brought up with this game. It will never be beaten.
I recently finished this game for the first time and even 2:41 sounds nostalgic to me. Standing in the street,with snake,wearing those random arse outfits. I ain't complaining,when this played over it truly felt like the mission was accomplished.
This song slaps so hard even if you put this on other games it will still have the same great effect. Imagine ace combat with mgs theme. And vice versa of boss fight themes of ace combat on mgs games
I love how both mgs and ace combat fandoms always make callbacks to each other's franchises despite being completely different games aside from the anti war themes. (And I love it).
I have never seen a bigger upgrade then MGS to MGS2. I finished the playstation game and was like yeah pretty good, then I boot up MGS2 and get this theme, the opening movie, graphics almost as good as what we have today. I see a lot of people call this game ahead of its time for its story, but the presentation and gameplay were decades ahead as well
+Seki Banki metalgear.wikia.com/wiki/Metal_Gear_Solid_Main_Theme#Controversy Not quite lost the rights but basically because of plagiarism they dont play this song anymore
I am not sure about that, living in 2016 means these great games that were once 60$ about 15$, Plus being able to download pretty much all the metal gear games in HD is wonderful.
Currently replaying MGS2 for the first time in years! The has definitely aged as far as gameplay goes, but the presentation, music, story and themes are more relevant today than I think anyone could have predicted! Truly area of its time!
Hands down the best MGS game ever and also my favourite game of all time. The story is just so fucking god, you can really adapt it to today and the current world events.
This series and specifically this game will never be forgotten... I won't let it. Idk what it is but this is the game that hits the hardest for me in terms of well everything, that's not saying that the others aren't as good because I was definitely crying and saluting at the end of mgs3 but holy shit this game was perfect
I bought the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection to my PS3...And damn i felt so nostalgic to play this games again...Thank you Kojima to directed and created the best games ever....ehehehehe...=)
Oh man. I used to listen to this religiously as a kid. It’s been forever since I last listened to it at this point though, and hearing it again just overwhelmed me with nostalgia. An epic song made ten times more epic.
idk if anyone has ever watched this, but when I was young I watched a chinese television series called 3000 whys of blue cat - dinosaur times. And in that series, they kept playing a remake of this very ost. I've spent 12 years trying to find this song... and today, I've finally found it. :')
2:40. The part where you walk away from an explosion...without looking back. 3:03. The part where you call your wife/husband by codec & tell him/her, "Baby, I might not come home." 3:23. The part where you think to yourself, "I'm no hero....never was....never will be...." while charging towards soldiers, Metal Gears, a super-human elite unit, & Liquid Ocelot.
Dude so true u made my day and also made me cry in a good way your comment helped me finish the battle Vs medel gear ray when u said "I'm no hero never was never will be" made me cry in a good way and inspired me to finish the game and brought me the memories I had when I played the game thanks for commenting this hope u will see this and reply have a nice day
DaBomBDotCom There was a lawsuit filed by the Russians. Supposely they claimed the MGS2 theme sound awfully similar to an Russian composer long ago. Yes, they also chatted with this to Kojima in a little meeting and listen the song himself. Kojima was surprised it was similar but you can tell he a little pissed off. So yeah in the nutshell, Kojima can't use this theme in any future Metal Gear titles. Itcould be possible to bypass the lawsuit but knowing Kojima and Konami they're not going to take that chance.
magnusm4 Well I wouldn't say that. Because by the end of the day, it always comes down to money (like copyright infringement incident from Square Enix and SNK last week). I wanna correct myself, the lawsuit wasn't filed yet but demanded that "theme" not to be used in any future Metal Gear titles. So basically, Konami (and Kojima) and Russians agree the terms.
magnusm4 So because the government has wars the people are not entitled to copyright on their works? Come on I find it shitty they can't use the song anymore too, but you're being silly.
I'm almost 32, being fan of MGS since 1998, not ashamed to admit I played Fortnite for the first time today (finally a collab that pulled me in)... I know since I'm a noob I get paired with people of my level, but still this played in my head during my first game (still with default skin and everything)... and won. Again, I know I didn't play against pros but still for a moment, a quote popped on my head: "Age hasn't slowed you down one bit".
I remember mgs2 as my "first" mgs.. cause i was too young when playing mgs1, I didn't understand truly the game... but I remember mgs2 intro with raiden and snake covering each other against the frogs.. so epic
People can argue if this is the best MGS theme or not but when you're like 12/13 in 2001 and loading this game up in your PS2 that you got for Christmas for the first time and seeing this intro - it's a fucking unreal experience.
Say what you will about Harry Gregson-Williams, he's without a shadow of a doubt a great music composer from Sussex, England he composed many video games and movies such as X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Spy Game, The Martian, Antz, Chicken Run, The Tigger Movie, Shrek and many more
I almost feel like 2:40 to 3:41could be adapted/simplified to trumpet solo, and played at the closing of a Remembrance Day ceremony. It can't replace "The Last Post", but I get a similar feeling from it, and it almost seems like it could fit. I wonder...
@@ahmetcikko The canon story ended in Mgs4 but the concluding game was Mgs5, the reason why Mgs actually ended because Konami and Kojima got into a problem where Konami forced Kojima to release Mgs5 early dispite the game not even being complete, the game was still great but Kojima was fired and many of us considered the series dead after Kojima left, Konami attempted at making a Metal gear game but it turned out really bad so they ditched the series (I think).
@@ahmetcikko they also threw castlevania away for no good reason, 2 of the best game franchises in the world, gone, konami is slowly killing itself, if they don't fix the problems they've made for themselves they're done for.
Now Konami is busy making pay-to-win mobile games or some other bullshit, as far as I know. The most idiotic business decision ever. But ehy, it's their failure.
Man what a game. Don't judge me, but I met the series with TPP, i'm just 14, and I played MGS( one of the best games ever made) in ps1 emulator, and now I am playing Sons of Patriots, and man, Kojima is a genius.
My favorite theme in the series. It is exciting and gorgeous, but in the same time calm and peaceful in some way. *Piece of art, period.* Just like the game.
Hearing this music, I'm somewhat dismayed that this song was scrapped from Brawl and also didn't make it to Ultimate. I know its because of plagiarism accusations, but I feel that they could've gotten around that by saying something along the lines of "Based on Winter Road by Georgy Sviridov", because this song is too badass to go to waste, especially at 2:40. Makes you feel like a real hero who saved countless people by preventing a tragedy before it could happen.
IamCaptainMan In my eyes solidus and ocelot aren't really too bad as they are fighting to continue on bosses ideology against the Patriots. I would consider them more of anti-heros like the boss than actual villains.
k mag 32 I would say you're right about that. The unfortunate thing was that Solidus was ready to bomb millions of innocent people in his crusade against the Patriots. As for Ocelot, you're probably right about that. He kinda does whatever he wants and will destroy anyone who gets in his way. But he isn't void of respect and honor; same for solidus.

I get goosebumps every time I hear 2:40 during the intro to MGS2
EagleLogic hell yeah brother
Same
I get goosebumps throughout the whole theme

I start crying
I'll pick my own name...and my own life. I'll find something worth passing on
The best sentence in the whole franchise
Well i did something like that
MEMES, JACK.
The purpose of this game was that you learn that your current actions indicate who you are regardless of how bad/tragic your past is.
He passes down the mEmEs
20 years later, this is still the best theme adaption
🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
Still sounds very modern too. You could slap this song on scenes from 2020s anime/movie and it would fit!
After all those years, there hasnt been any other theme to take the second place until Elden rings main theme came
fax
The upbeat part is best in this rendition, while the somber part at the end is better in MGS3's version
3:23..damn it why am i crying...that part is just so beautiful
and the Letters that slowly start crashing down and turning just added to it
Best part? That's when Kojima's credit appears
Nostalgia my brother! This is the greatest VG song of all time and will never be beaten.
You're not alone mate 🤣
Crying? Weird.....
best theme in the series hands down!
MetalSEGAKid1990 listen to snake eater beginning vocal theme its 👌
Best theme ever.
Old snake is great too
Snake eater is James bond vibes
I thought the version Twin Snakes had was pretty good
(Preparing for hate I'll get for saying that I liked Twin Snakes)
Truly a great franchise. You did well, Kojima, and we appreciate what you’ve done.
Rest In Peace, Metal Gear. May your legacy be remembered.
lmao did he die
@@pipebombmailer no, Kojima moved on. well, that and Konami killed the series without him.
Some can be relived, but its spirit will never rest in Peace.

Great piece to jog/run to especially during the parts where the music speeds up.
The first time I saw this intro was one of my best moments as a gamer in my whole life.
Second top theme for me of the series. The best is yet to come. Then this!

One of the best themes of all time, hands down
It's crazy how patriotic this song feels ( no pun intended ). Awesome in a million ways .
To this day - MSG2 Theme is a vibe
Every 4th of July, I love this blast this song when the fireworks break out!
One of the best opening sequence soundtrack
