Me n my brother played the campaign soooooooooo many times back in the day and also the local multiplayer with just me n him plus the bots we would have so much fun
"oh my god, we lost the Arizona!" when I was a kid I felt so much loss at these words even though I didn't know what it actually represented. This game made me dive 20 meters deep into everything ww2
Same kinda. This was my first taste of ww2 games but then the following christmas I got CoD 2 for myself and that really made me realise what WW2 really was and kinda has had me obsessed since then.
Thats crazy how historically accurate the uniforms are in this game! The philippines campaign mission displayed americans with outdated brody helmets just like they had at the start of the war! Also in cuadalcanal the marines have springfield rifles as their primary rifle, just like in real life too. M1 Garand was mainly given To army and later To USMC. The developers took their history lessons and made real effort, unlike modern game developers. Battlefield V for example........
Same as in MOH Frontline you see the SS camo uniforms and shit and theres differences in the US army it shows the Ranger uniform the 101st uniform The 82nd ariborne with the Flag armbands in market garden and even Sas paratroopers in the Arnhem mission
At 8:06 why does it say "California Defanded" mean while it was Hawaii under attack?? Also how did Japan fly there through the Atlantic or the Pacific?
Edward Kaplan You must not be into history, that’s okay. They were defending the ship the USS California. The Japanese flew over the Pacific to reach Hawaii.
the opening 2 missions is what made me love this game. so many feels, it literally gave me goosebumps watching this and remembering when I first played it.
Split screen bot match in the japanese baseball field. God bless those days. Was one of my very first games when I got my black xbox for christmas. EDIT: This was in Finland in late 2003
15:03 Attack on Pearl Harbor 37:30 Retreat from Philippines 1:09:16 US Marines 1:32:54 Creation of the OSS 1:59:49 Yamashita's gold 2:26:50 Logistics of Burma 2:46:08 Carrier conflict 3:20:29 Return to Philippines
I can’t believe after all these years I finally found the very first game I ever played again. I thought my memory of waking up in a ship and fighting to get top side was fever dream I had as a kid, but I still remember the first mission like I had just played it in my friend’s basement yesterday. Deepest of deep core memory unlocked.
This game was amazing! The way in which it told the stories of WWII without glorifying it was masterful, and I spent countless hours playing multiplayer with my brother when we were little. It may not hold up now (graphics-wise), but It will forever have a place in my heart
My favorite missions were: Singapore Sling - sneaking about, going undercover, running around a fancy hotel fighting angry chefs, Germans, and Japanese at the same time, jumping into a bus at the end...what could be more fun? Super carrier Sabatage: even though Tanaka dies and Shima gets away, it was a lot of fun exploring the carrier, and there’s just something poignant about the ending. Not knowing what’ll happen next, still feeling sad over Tanaka’s sacrifice, but you see the carrier exploding in the distance and know that you’ll live to fight another day. That you’ll catch up to Shima eventually, and make him pay for everything he’s done. Pistol Pete: Mostly because of the howitzer. The Burma missions were difficult, but also very rewarding. Derailing trains and exploring Buddhist temples searching for sake barrels. Good times haha
You just came back from school excited for the long winter break, mom is cooking food, there is a festive vibe in the air and you're playing your favourite PS2 Game♥️
I remember this game being so hard as a kid but this guy seems to power through it by walking right up to enemies with no tactical awareness and shit aim😂
Yeah it's not that hard at all on normal. I haven't died even once. Plenty of medical packs and shit. Enemies are handicapped pretty severely to compensate for shit performance and controller aim.
This and Medal of Honor Frontline played a big part in my childhood. I remember playing co-op with my dad. Some of my favorite childhood memories. I also realize that this taught me about WW2 long before I learned about it in school.
Loved this game. My great grandfather was a WW2 in British army European campain he never spoke to much about but when he did I always listened. Any WW2 vet deserves respect. Dale Dye at the end of the Pearl Harbor missions what he said was so true. Joe 's sisters letters are always lovely makes ya feel how many people went through worry for there family throughout the war
This game is so nostalgic to me. We had a PS2 when I was really young (too young and uncoordinated to properly control a FPS game) and I played the Pearl Harbor level where you shoot at the planes with my dad. I couldn’t really do anything more complicated than that, so played the rest of it by himself. Years later our copy of the game was long gone and I had completely forgotten about the game, I got a pile of PS2 games at a yard sale, when I started playing this one, I suddenly remembered it and the nostalgia hit hard. Playing the rest of it, I can see that this was a damn good WW2 game for its time.
The Garand is surprisingly powerful in this game (though not quite as powerful as it was in Frontline). It can actually kill in 1 hit even without a headshot. The Garand in later WWII games was made much weaker sadly.
I loved playing games like this when I was a kid. Stuff like Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers, Call of Duty, and Medal of Honor turned me into a young student of WWII.
Also the revelation of the fact gunny is R.Lee Ermy makes me sad... I never finished this game when I was younger. Hearing his voice makes me miss him more. :(
I remember playing this split screen with my brother when we were kids and as far as co op fps goes it was ahead of its time! All the missions handled it nicely, and missions like the tank escort mission allowed one player to be the gunner inside the tank while the other escorted it from the outside, I remember escaping in the back of the truck we were both spraying and praying hanging on to life! Such great missions and memories.
My twin brother and I played this for hours back when we were younger! He has since passed away but this gameplay brings back so many memories with my bro! R.I.P. my brother Michael
I used to run around in the sewers just outside the baseball field and walk in the shit just to hear the splash. Doing that used to make me laugh *so* hard as a kid. Good times
2:02:21 I love how this game despite being set in the Pacific added in a British mission, it's quite forgotten but the British and Commonwealth forces kept busy around 300,000 Japanese soldiers in the Burma campaign.
It’s not forgotten in Britain. My great grandad was a POW of the Japanese. They wished it had been the Germans… Also cool touch, in the Singapore mission you’re given a welrod, and early British suppressed weapon.
@@ilcorvo9559 Yeah that singapore mission was underrated as well, i love the drums music that comes on after you take out the Japanese soldiers in the street with the welrod.
This is my childhood game and it really has a special place in my heart, not just because I loved it soo much but beacuse this is the only game I played with my dad (He's still here). We had so much fun playing together and now all these years later I hope I can convince him to play another game with me haha
Had a girl tell me, one time back in college, that she was sorry that I missed out on my child hood by not growing up with playing pokemon or watching dragon ball z. She was joking around of course but this right here, this, Airborne, Allied Assault, Frontline, the original Call of Duty, and history channel documentaries were my childhood! Still got my old game cube with my small Medal of Honor collection but haven't turned it on in over a decade. Edit: So I'm beginning to think that the GameCube version had a lot of cut content after watching this, wow guess I'll stay for the whole show.
My Uncle's father actually was a sailor on board the USS California depicted in game, He enlisted sometime in 1944 after the ship was repaired and fought at Saipan
Rising Sun and Frontline really sparked my interest in WWII back in the late 90s, early 2000s! Since then, I have met Holocaust survivors, and Pearl Harbor and D-Day serviceman as well!
Was one of the greatest story lines I've ever played in a game. From start to finish this game was just filled with so much action. Back when metal of honor was better than call of duty haha
This brings back childhood memories! I recieved this game for my birthday from my dad and I still have it. Very nice game and even today I sometimes play this. R.I.P Dad
I caught my dad playing this game when I got home from school one day and I was so excited to see him actually enjoy one of my video games. I loved to just watch him play. Unfortunately I Found my dad dead a couple months ago but I'll always remember playing rising sun with you dad . little memories like that mean everything when you lose that person. If you got a mom or dad please go play a game or do something together. I'd cut my own eye out if I could see them.
Read! Literally 4K graphics have nothing on a good story and awesome gameplay. This new call of duty World War II just isn't cutting it and it sad that I find more joy in the game I played years ago then what I believe, could've been, an awesome game.
Zerei esse jogo milhares de vezes. Era um dos poucos games originais que eu tinha no PS2 fat. Amava aquele conteúdo extra que mostrava a história do jogo em formato de animação em desenho preto e branco. É uma sensação muito boa rever algo tão fascinante assim. Vivia explorando cada detalhe do mapa. Jogando o multiplayer com bot e tela dividida.
There was a comic book released after the game where the brother was freed and both bros lived happily ever after. Or at least the comic made it out that they did.
I think this game and Frontline had the most realistic weapons damage. The M1911 and M1 Garand actually can kill reliably in 1-2 shots, while they were drastically weakened in later games sadly. SMGs like the Thompson and Sten were not as accurate, which actually makes sense, since they were originally designed for close range “spray and pray”. Weapons like the STG-44 and BAR on the other hand, work more like assault rifles and have both power and accuracy, but slower rates of fire. You just don’t see that kind of detail in modern games it seems.
After sitting here starting the intro, scenes of this game just flashed in my mind. I remember being extremely frustrated trying to unlock all the secrets and get the achievements. Fun game
My elementary school friend and I used to call each other on our cordless homephones and play through the campaign together - co op gaming before it was cool! Haha these are core memories thanks for the upload
For me the biggest change from MOH to COD, and was actually experimented with in this game, was checkpoints. Up until and including MOH Frontline, if you died in a mission, you had to start all the way from the beginning. In Rising Sun, the beginnings of a checkpoint system were introduced where you could save your progress in-game at certain points. Then Call Of Duty came out with automatic saving at checkpoints, and modern shooters were born. No more frustration of getting to the very end only to die and have to start over. And this game was doing that, in a way, even before COD. That’s what makes it so revolutionary.
Most memorable part about the game to me was 14:23-14:57. Old timer is so right. I hope the younger ones never really acted like that when their comrades passed.
I remember reading that after the bombings, they could hear people trapped on the inside of the ships banging on the walls because they couldn't get out
Honestly the fact that this game still holds up graphically is amazing to me. It’s not 4K or anything, but it looks better than most modern day indie games IMO.
My entire life up until this point I thought that was R Lee Ermy voicing "Gunny" in this game. It wasn't until watching this playthrough that I realized its actually Dale Dye!
"hope none of you ever see a day like this again...and nobody'll ever know what it was like, but maybe the ones who lived through it...you just be damn sure you don't forget the ones who didn't" despite how good this game is, danger close also did a really good job of subtly honoring veterans and late veterans within the plot writing, and what immeasurable horrors they endured during ww2 and pearl harbor, you never know how truly and definitively horrifying a tragic event was unless you were there i just remember that quote so vividly as a kid, seeing the cutscene of the naval ships destroyed and burned caused me to feel like i just swallowed a stone, it felt like i wasnt even playing a game anymore, chills everywhere...
I remember the level at 57:00 , one of those holes that the people hid in had a gun you could pick up, it was the only one like it in the level. My mind was blown when I found it the first time because your so limited in this level.
this were good times always on the xbox classic back in the 2000-2008 i miss this so much now in 2024 u dont wanna how how addicted i was to this game so many memmories.........
I played co-op with my best friend in high school. Unfortunately he passed away too young. One day we will play again.... Love you and rest in peace, brother. ♥️
One of my all time favorite video games! I still remember the promo commercial and everything! I knew right away I wanted it, as I had been a huge fan of Frontline. It was a holiday release and I got it as a present for Christmas that year. Had a lot of fun playing co-op with my buddy
Thanks for posting this. I never got round to playing the MOH games after the original and no longer even have a console anymore. Nice to see how the sequels turned out. I think the graphics are brilliant considering the game is 18 years old now.
Yes yes that intro we can all agree was , embedded in our minds , thank you for reminding me about this hell of a real game, those men fought for us , men of honor
I have NEVER understood and will NEVER get why COD got so popular. Here you can see who you are actually shooting, in COD the big size of the gun just does not let you see what you're shooting and all of a sudden, you killed them. I trying to play COD 3, I got tired and turned off my PS2
My childhood right here, my dad and I played this and had soo much fun.
R.I.P. Dad
I'm sorry for your dad....2004 summer,my first experience of this game...november 2002 i started this fps adventure..beautifull years...
I played the game with my dad to he loved it while he was alive. This brings back alot of memories.
Same here. Only game my dad played with me. Rip
Respect to your father playing a vidgame with u
F
In my mind when I was younger the graphics were 4K lol nostalgia

Yes
SAME :)
What happened to Donnie?
I remember playing this when I was a kid. Fucking memories with that game were amazing
Bigbootymcgee 63 Better than call of duty, even call of duty ww2 failed to catch that nostalgia
Me n my brother played the campaign soooooooooo many times back in the day and also the local multiplayer with just me n him plus the bots we would have so much fun
me to it was the best game ever in it's time but still the best game and medal of Honor Frontline to as well.
I remember when it glitches out once and the DECK wasn’t showing
I remember when i keep shooting the torpedoes to avoid it from hitting the ship
"oh my god, we lost the Arizona!" when I was a kid I felt so much loss at these words even though I didn't know what it actually represented. This game made me dive 20 meters deep into everything ww2
That line holds so much emotion still, 20 years later.
12:00 for the nostalgia
We’re all out here living the same lives
Same kinda. This was my first taste of ww2 games but then the following christmas I got CoD 2 for myself and that really made me realise what WW2 really was and kinda has had me obsessed since then.
I was so young I thought they were literally talking about the state of Arizona falling to the Japanese

And i wish they had added a mission where you saved your brother
Andrew Pestotnik I agree I hate how the story ended on cliff hanger and never knowing what’s came of your brother
Got some respect for this game, This is the game where I actually learned the existence of the Welrod.
Yeah, Hidden & Dangerous 2 too with the Welrod, De Lisle Carbine
and Silenced Sten.
Same
Me too.
Cool little gun. 😎👍
I don’t know why but that gun really resonates with me. I remember playing this as a kid and I remember the welrod so vividly
dude ill never forget that level.
Dude this brings me back to the days of medal of honor frontline and call of duty finest hour love it
All of those brings me back😭
At the time loved both equally. But i think finest hour instilled every lasting distinct memories.
I can’t believe after all these years I finally found the very first game I ever played again.

I just wish they had added a mission where you saved your brother

@@travislindsey7256 just like the hijackers trying out their parachutes.
Medal of Honor was my childhood. Thanks for uploading this to youtube and helping me relive my memories.
Hey kids remember when call of duty and medal of honor were actually about having fun instead of relaying on internet and making sure it multiplayer
Mike Rodriguez and you could actually learn from the campaign
Yeah and to be honest I miss that Time
Back when fps games taught you a bit of history and gave you a ton of fun
Lol now it's all about looking like your going to a cosplay convention and doing dance moves
This game actually did have a online mode but nobody plays it anymore due to it's age.
This game was amazing! The way in which it told the stories of WWII without glorifying it was masterful, and I spent countless hours playing multiplayer with my brother when we were little. It may not hold up now (graphics-wise), but It will forever have a place in my heart
My favorite missions were:
Singapore Sling - sneaking about, going undercover, running around a fancy hotel fighting angry chefs, Germans, and Japanese at the same time, jumping into a bus at the end...what could be more fun?
Super carrier Sabatage: even though Tanaka dies and Shima gets away, it was a lot of fun exploring the carrier, and there’s just something poignant about the ending. Not knowing what’ll happen next, still feeling sad over Tanaka’s sacrifice, but you see the carrier exploding in the distance and know that you’ll live to fight another day. That you’ll catch up to Shima eventually, and make him pay for everything he’s done.
Pistol Pete: Mostly because of the howitzer.
The Burma missions were difficult, but also very rewarding. Derailing trains and exploring Buddhist temples searching for sake barrels. Good times haha
Same dude , I replayed the map like 100+ and never got bored out of it :D
Man you explained these so well
Singapore sling and supercarrier sabotage and are my favs aswell along with Guadalcanal

I did sir
Don't forget the multiplayer where you could add bots. Fuckin memories😢
Its amazing if you play with your friends
The game that made me love the M1 garand and thompson
Strangely most of the MOH games don't include the M1 Carbine which was also a widley used weapon of this era.
Me too & COD 3 XBOX 360 Exclusive. 😎👍
The Garand is surprisingly powerful in this game (though not quite as powerful as it was in Frontline). It can actually kill in 1 hit even without a headshot.

BRINGING BACK MY CHILLHOOD MEMORIES, THANKS FOR UPLOAD THIS!
I played and completed this last week. Started playing my PS2 again after 14 years. It beats the new games by far. Simple and exciting.
Most of MoH AI are still way more realistic and competent then new shooter games.
Also the revelation of the fact gunny is R.Lee Ermy makes me sad... I never finished this game when I was younger.
Hearing his voice makes me miss him more. :(
I think Gunny was voiced by Dale Dye, and not R Lee Ermy. Nevertheless, we still miss the great R Lee Ermy :(
Dale Dye did the voice of Gunny.
Who else is coming back here in 2020 just to remember a better time? 🥺
“Oh my god… we’ve lost the Arizona!”
“God help em. This can’t be happening.”
That line after the bombing always gave me major chills as a kid.

As soon as I heard that main Screen music I was hit with mad nostalgia! I Remember playing this on a GameCube.
we never got a resolution for this dudes brother :(
They end up making a gba game where one of the levels he's rescued.
A sequel was planned where you would have gotten to play as his brother but it was cancelled.
@Sovereign Pretty sure I was liberated in the ending cutscene of Medal Of Honor Heroes
There was a comic book released after the game where the brother was freed and both bros lived happily ever after. Or at least the comic made it out that they did.
I wish the sequel if there is one solved this cliffhanger there was supposed to be one but due to the mixed reaction this game got it was canned.
Tbh the 1911 in MOH is better then black ops.
That's the M1911's performance in reality since .45 ACP is powerful up close.
I think this game and Frontline had the most realistic weapons damage. The M1911 and M1 Garand actually can kill reliably in 1-2 shots, while they were drastically weakened in later games sadly. SMGs like the Thompson and Sten were not as accurate, which actually makes sense, since they were originally designed for close range “spray and pray”.

I think you people should do the same.
Great content. Keep it up!
After sitting here starting the intro, scenes of this game just flashed in my mind. I remember being extremely frustrated trying to unlock all the secrets and get the achievements. Fun game
Medal Of Honor Series is my all-time favourite and this game is one of them
My elementary school friend and I used to call each other on our cordless homephones and play through the campaign together - co op gaming before it was cool! Haha these are core memories thanks for the upload
I remember when COD introduced the ability to use the iron sights.
It was way better than having to use a fixed crosshair on your screen.
I'm not joking, I swear I played this game on my old gamecube with iron sights.
Cod where people that left MoH.
For me the biggest change from MOH to COD, and was actually experimented with in this game, was checkpoints. Up until and including MOH Frontline, if you died in a mission, you had to start all the way from the beginning. In Rising Sun, the beginnings of a checkpoint system were introduced where you could save your progress in-game at certain points. Then Call Of Duty came out with automatic saving at checkpoints, and modern shooters were born. No more frustration of getting to the very end only to die and have to start over. And this game was doing that, in a way, even before COD. That’s what makes it so revolutionary.
Most memorable part about the game to me was 14:23-14:57. Old timer is so right. I hope the younger ones never really acted like that when their comrades passed.
REAL
I vaguely remember playing the first level of this game. Now I both want it and hope they make a remaster the right way.

11:57 That magazine explosion is so realistic, the USS Arizona was thrown into the air and the PT boat got pushed away by the blast.
I remember reading that after the bombings, they could hear people trapped on the inside of the ships banging on the walls because they couldn't get out
@@chadlbradly2942 Oh fuck. That's even worse.
Honestly the fact that this game still holds up graphically is amazing to me. It’s not 4K or anything, but it looks better than most modern day indie games IMO.
My entire life up until this point I thought that was R Lee Ermy voicing "Gunny" in this game. It wasn't until watching this playthrough that I realized its actually Dale Dye!
When I was a Kid playing this game on the Third Story the first time that ever scared me was the Enemy Tank coming out of no where.
Omg, I remember that too! I was so scared that I needed to ask my dad to complete that scene. 😅
The story is too good. Just need to remaster it and it would beat any call of duty campaign. This, frontline and European assault need a remaster.
The online community for this game was great. Epic online matches.
This brings back good memories seeing this video, I use to play this game and completed all the mission, I just wish there's part two for this game.
I love how theses games taught you something. Now days there just for multiplayer and stupid crap like that
Singapore Sling was probably my favorite mission in this game. Running around all stealthy-like with the welrod pistol was so satisfying
Oh yes, that was so special and exciting!
Deym. This is so nostalgic. It's been 13 years since I last play this.
"hope none of you ever see a day like this again...and nobody'll ever know what it was like, but maybe the ones who lived through it...you just be damn sure you don't forget the ones who didn't"
despite how good this game is, danger close also did a really good job of subtly honoring veterans and late veterans within the plot writing, and what immeasurable horrors they endured during ww2 and pearl harbor, you never know how truly and definitively horrifying a tragic event was unless you were there
i just remember that quote so vividly as a kid, seeing the cutscene of the naval ships destroyed and burned caused me to feel like i just swallowed a stone, it felt like i wasnt even playing a game anymore, chills everywhere...
The main theme always shots me through the heart.
Thanks, Mr. Lennertz. You can score video games as well, not only cheesy fantasy TV flicks :)
Rising sun and Frontline was my childhood, Me and my older sister used to play it so much together. Thanks for playing this nostalgic game! :)
I remember the level at 57:00 , one of those holes that the people hid in had a gun you could pick up, it was the only one like it in the level. My mind was blown when I found it the first time because your so limited in this level.
Its bren

Hey thanks for posting this. It was the first videogame I ever played, and this is bringing back alot of good memories.
Best opening mission any war game has ever had
That’s a fact
this were good times always on the xbox classic back in the 2000-2008 i miss this so much now in 2024 u dont wanna how how addicted i was to this game so many memmories.........
The countless hours spent with friends playing team deathmatch and co-op campaign. They don't make them like this anymore.
Fun game as a kid but now, especially as I have served myself, I can't help but think of the horror those poor men went through that day.
Lol you probably served in call of duty world at war. Stfu kid
I played co-op with my best friend in high school. Unfortunately he passed away too young. One day we will play again....
Love you and rest in peace, brother. ♥️
Brothers forever❤️. Terribly sorry for your loss🙏🙏
They only have PC in heaven
This game has the BEST soundtrack EVER!!!!
One of my all time favorite video games! I still remember the promo commercial and everything! I knew right away I wanted it, as I had been a huge fan of Frontline. It was a holiday release and I got it as a present for Christmas that year. Had a lot of fun playing co-op with my buddy
That man singing at 2:00 has been in my mind ever since I watched my dad play this game back in 2002. Wow the nostalgia ❤
do you know what song this is?
@@0ne4tw0 that;s a Bob Hope song. I can't remember what it was
@@MrC-55 does she appear in a movie?
Thanks for posting this. I never got round to playing the MOH games after the original and no longer even have a console anymore. Nice to see how the sequels turned out. I think the graphics are brilliant considering the game is 18 years old now.
Ahh when ww2 games actually had a soundtrack that sounded military based
Yes yes that intro we can all agree was , embedded in our minds , thank you for reminding me about this hell of a real game, those men fought for us , men of honor
I loved this game
This brought back some old memories! Thanks for uploading this.
This does put a smile on my face
I remember playing this game on a PS2 controller when I was younger and being confused as to what the “jump”, “crouch”, and “actions” buttons were
I remember when I was five playing this it's still my favorite game to this day so much memories
This game is so underrated.
One of the best WW2 games I've played.
Everybody that played this and other medal of honour games earned the title "gamer" without being toxic in multiplayer cod lobbies.
I liked the Japanese soldier screaming like this: AAUUUUGGH!
I have NEVER understood and will NEVER get why COD got so popular.
Here you can see who you are actually shooting, in COD the big size of the gun just does not let you see what you're shooting and all of a sudden, you killed them.
I trying to play COD 3, I got tired and turned off my PS2
