Fun fact: The Chef enemy is the same exact person each time you fight him. Each time you run into him, there are more and more battle wounds on his player model.
Fun Fact if no one else has said it. The chef that you kept seeing throughout the game is the same exact chef. There’s actually a fun little backstory of him forming a grudge against Patterson.
That's what the original Medal of Honor in PS1 is like, very punishing in later levels, once you die, you have to start all over again. And the AI cheats, A LOT, like they can sprint at you full speed while hitting you with pinpoint accuracy and blind fire without peaking their heads. F**K me man, it's even more harder than Allied Assault and its expansions in some places.
This is a flashback, to the night my family bought our PS2. My father took my sister and I down to the local KMart and we got to each pick a game. I picked Star Wars Battlefront, my sister picked Monsters Inc, and my dad picked MoH Frontline. It felt like playing Band of Brothers, which was one of my family's favorite shows around that time. Such an amazing game,and one that I regularly come back to even today. The score in particular is epic and so memorable to me, and often ends up in my music rotation. Loving this nostalgic series, Sour! You're killing it!
The whole day i thought "Boy what an epic move would it be if S0ur uploaded today, my evening would be saved" and then sexy S0ur just delivers greatness for real!
In Operation Rapunzel you can maintain your cover just by looking down at the ground as you walk past that guard who normally blows your cover. It's pretty buggy but it normally works.
It was B,L trigger,B,R trigger, Y,L trigger, X, down on the d pad for the GameCube. Been over 15 years and that is the one invincibility code I remember because this game broke me as a kid
This was my first ever PS2 Game that I played with my dad. He passed away in 2013, thank you so much for letting me have these memories Oh and btw, even in the original, you have to bind the key to "cook the grenade" XD Memories from 2002 lolol
I recently Platinumed this game on ps3 and after I finished it I was one of the people requesting it. you are just an absolute legend thank you for satisfying my nostalgia
I love how the first 3 missions is just Saving Private Ryan. Like the town level theres even a building laid out exactly like the one dude cowared in. So many painful memories of this game.
Medal of Honor is a relic from a time where games were games. You bought it off the shelf and it came with everything. No patches, no DLC, no P2W... It was all the hard work of developers who wanted to make a good product and cared about historical accuracy to give you the most immersive experience ever, something that even modern games cannot do anymore. For example: the first Medal of Honor had real WW2 veterans interviewed for the most accurate details possible, stuff that weren't even written in the books.
@@joecanteen7428 great question, if we take a look at ops comment it says "Rising Sun". With this information taken we can only fathom a guess that perhaps that means Rising Sun, however maybe "Rising Sun" is read as "Pacific Assault". I think you're on to something Sherlock!
@@joecanteen7428 Really? Rising Sun is one of my favorites. I do get lost on Guadalcanal most of the time but that is the worst part. Pistol Pete is one of my all time favorite FPS levels
1:14:34 there was supposed to be a special animation if you didn't kill the guy. He would pull a rocket launcher and shoot the bridge in front of you, this would result on him getting killed by fallen chandelier on top of him Edit 1:15:07 that's the rocket launcher i was talking about
@@S0ur Wonder why the levels look like Saving Private Ryan? It's because Steven Spielberg helped with the game. The Holland missions are from the movie = A bridge too far (Like the Nijmegen bridge and Yard by yard missions).
I don't know how I always end up watching these when I'm hungover. I suppose that's a compliment, must mean that it's comforting lol. Anyways, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love it if you played the mass effect trilogy.
My goodness i remember those bullets passing through the water after being blown out of the landing craft so well. Very much child me could never figure out how to push through the beach! I recall my absolute amazement at the concept that shooting at the bunkers made them stop firing (!!!???!?!?!)! It seemed like magic that the game could understand and react to me doing that, and i was utterly impressed. Not that i was really supposed to be playing it at all, but those 30 minutes between me coming home from school and my parents coming home were used to the fullest! I thought i was being so sneaky, but they totally knew. I think it was their way of knowing i would not be up to any shenanigans in their absence. What a blast to see it be played!
Absolutely gut-wrenching how the video stopped recording after playing through this incredibly difficult game. I appreciate the way you went about it, though. This is probably the best choice you could have possibly chosen given your circumstances. Appreciate you, S0ur
Great memories playing this gem with my dad, this game and him are the reason I’m such a big history lover. Always liked the cool animations and details in this game, it may be old but its still great. loved the play through as always, keep up the awesome work 👍
My first Medal of Honor game! Looking forward to see if you briefly experience the same struggles I did playing this one. I spent loads of time admiring the atmosphere of the game and looking at the extras. Over the next two years afterward, I did go back to play the earlier PS1 games, and then Allied Assault, finally, in 2020. W. Morgan Shepard's narration in this series is iconic to me, may he rest in peace.
Love your play throughs man, definitely my favorite TH-camr as of right now, I could watch for hours entertained or turn it on and get some rest. New to the channel but love the direction you’ve gone over the years from what I understand.
I don't know what it is about these old Medal of Honor and Call of Duty games, but they're so full of life. You can see that the developers had fun making them. You can see nice attention to detail in a game older than many of us are. I think they're very underappreciated, and I wanna thank you for going through these, as old as they are
I'm very overwhelmed with emotion. Right up until 2020, ever since 2010 i had bought the ps2 and i especially loved first-person shooters like these, especially in the ww2 setting. I would keep playing and replaying the story , because i loved history and i loved warfare, and it was a treat every time i got one of these games . So watching Sour play this made me tear up. Made me remember the good times when i was 8 and being so awestruck about the controls. You name it, I played it if it was on the ps2. From Cod Finest Hour, Cod Big Red One to Cod 3, Cod World At War: Final Fronts, and finally to more challenging ones like MOH Frontline and MOH Rising Sun. I really loved the menu theme for Frontline. It's my favourite game from these genres. I remember not being able to get pass the Arnhem Knights level for so long, kept dying to that tank. When i got to the level after the armoured train level, i said "enough is enough" and used the Shield cheat (you're shielded from bullets fired at long range but not close range but the cheat doesnt affect panzershrecks or grenades ) so it was still challenging, Watching you finally release a vid of this was a treat since i knew you would pick this up eventually. Thanks for the great content Sour, looking forward to the next one. You just made a lot of adults relive their childhood memories. Keep up the good work, love ya.
Back from work and finishing video, yeah these long vids are good background noise to have. Sometimes I'll pause what I'm doing and click back a few seconds to see something that I missed, sometimes I'll take a few and keep watching. These vids are an enjoyable thing.
This was the motherfucking GOAT back then. I got my PS2 when Modern Warfare first released (cons of living in a poor country), but this game was fucking BASED. Took me a long while to complete it, because I only got a memory card 3 months afterwards, and even then, this game on Normal difficulty was already difficult enough. But when I finally understood the mechanics and controls, I sped through it quite a lot. I still remember Clipping Their Wings being probably the hardest mission I had ever played, and I probably spent a week trying to beat it. But once Sturmgeist was history and I boarded the Horten... man, I shed a tear of joy. This and Rising Sun made my childhood.
Absolutely. Rising Sun actually gave me nightmares as a small kid due to the officers charging in the dead of night with katanas. Pistol Pete Showdown was one of the best layed out levels of any FPS game. Same with the mission where you infil the secret meeting with the SOE
1:31:45 another two special animation would also occurred here, the first one is if you killed the sniper at the middle top of the bridge before you climbed up, he would fall but hanging because he was attached into a rope. The second one is extremely rare i could only trigger this one when i still played the game, so all you have to do is to kill all the snipers at the top of the bridge except the middle one (yeah the same one) and then climb on top of the bridge, he would try to surrender but all you need to do is to wait for him. Seeing that you won't budge, this middle guy would slip and fell of the bridge or just continue begging for mercy (imagine seeing this the first time😮). I might be misremembered this one because i couldn't find someone recreating this on youtube. However this is just to show you that MOH frontline have a lot of secret
Although the video didn't record in the later sections, your raw audio still made me laugh (in solidarity). Great idea to keep playing and giving us a glimpse of what it must have been like!
My childhood… the graphics man… at the time, it felt like you were really there experiencing what your grandaddy went through. This game will always hold a special place in my heart.
I played this game so much when I was young. I loved it. I also never beat it, until I dug up my 360, the disc, and played it with reverse compatibility last year. And good lord was it tough on Normal. But there were still so many good memories.
Man I remember being stuck on the mission Arnhem knights for so long when I was a kid that I just got fed up with the game and traded it in at the local gamestop for another medal of honor game.
As far as I know, this was the last MoH were character design was 'artisanal'. Everything you see about the NPCs, from the motion capture, to the animations and the models - it was all done by hand. Respect from bringing back this gem, I wish you could have focussed a bit more on the character designs, the small details (such as soldiers mouthing silently before dying), but I suppose that comes with time - I'm pretty sure I have over 100 replays of the entire game.
This game right here, this Medal of Honor game was one of my First World War II shooters to play on the PS2 that ignited my love for history and warfare history with the second game being Call of Duty finest hour you already covered Amazing video as always sour gave me a few good laughs throughout it! Gonna dig out my old PS2 and play through this once again!
Playing this with the "Men with Hats" extra was the peak of humor in my childhood. Seeing German soldiers with Ju-87s, Tanks, or just heads the size of their body running around was hilarious
Back in the days my dad had this game, once I got my grubby little hands on it I played through it on every difficulty, HARD was very frustrating. I’m super excited to see you play it!
I recently started playing the remaster that comes with Medal of Honor 2010. And I'm going along, really enjoying it, thinking how it's held up pretty well. Then, BAM, I realize that there are no checkpoints....at all....anywhere..in the entire game. It totally ruined the game for me. My biggest pet peeve in gaming is having to redo sections/whole levels you've beaten over and over again. And I get it, like..ok, at the time, checkpoints on console weren't common. Fine. But this was a remaster. I cannot imagine why they didn't add them. They added modern(ish) controls, and subtitles..why would you not at least add the option to toggle checkpoints? It totally destroyed the game for me, which is a huge shame because I was enjoying it and wanted to platinum it but, 20 minutes into a mission and a random grenade or enemy spawn kills you, it's back to the VERY START. Screw.that.
One of the first video games I remember playing, I can only really think of the intro mission when I look back on it, definitely a true childhood classic.
This was my first PS2 game i played. I have no idea how old i was but i remember my dad picking it up after watching savinng private ryan. it was so cool!
Hey, S0ur, recent sub and dedicated lurker since the first CoD playthrough. In regards to your closing statements, I will say that while I did feel a bit lost in the Spearhead vid in terms of where you were in a level due to quicker editing on occasion, the Breakthrough vid and this one are perfect in that sense, coming form a guy who played Breakthrough a long time ago, and who did not play Frontline at all - I knew what was going on at all times in both, and was thoroughly entertained, watching each one in one sitting. Same goes for the Black Ops one even though I do not care for modern (read, CoD 4 onwards) CoDs that much. I was also thinking that maybe the editing consternations come from slight material fatigue? As in, both CoD and MoH fall more into the standard FPS gameplay formula which can get stale after a while, not to mention constant WW2 (not that I mind, I do prefer that to modern stuff anyhow), so maybe some diversifications can help balance it out a bit, letting you rest from routine and jump into something more fresh? It may also help in testing the waters in terms of branching out the channel, cause I will admit I would watch you play through anything really, but not sure how it would fare in terms of channel metrics. Anyway, if you want a switch from the typical FPS, then I may suggest Brothers In Arms (as I did in the Q&A question) which goes into a bit more "realistic" approach and adds some tactics into the mix, or if you feel really adventurous, you could try Full Spectrum Warrior, going into full tactics and mid 90s Middle East setting. Then there is the Sniper Elite series, though not sure if it would work beyond the second one in this 'play in one sitting' format, as later ones tend to be quite lengthy. There is also the option of some Vietnam themed shooters like Men of Valor or Vietcong. Then there is also a question how far back you are willing to go, seeing you did not decide to play the first MoH from the 90s, and how obscure and jank you are willing to go, since as a Pole I dare mention the Mortyr series of WW2 shooters which are not great games by any means, most are not even okay probably, kinda the typical bargain bin shooter you would find in the 00s in game shops, but they are nevertheless quite important from a historical standpoint to the Polish gamedev, being that the first one was acknowledged, let's say, not terribly when it came out around the turn of the millennium. And there there is of course a question about the Wolfenstein series and Battlefield campaigns and if you want to play those. But yeah, apologies for going on a bit long, just something I thought you might take into consideration, but in any case, you are doing a fantastic job, and you are probably the highest quality TH-camr currently that does playthroughs of these older titles that are important to many people, and that means a lot. And your editing style and general presentation are the reasons for it.
An impressively in-depth reply hahah. Yep, I'm sure the urge to cut more and increase the pace partly comes from thinking people might be bored of seeing too much of the same stuff, even though that's clearly moreso just me after editing so many of them. I certainly do intend to mix in some slightly different classic FPS settings to not just be non-stop WW2 - I really never expected to start to be typecast as a World War guy lol, that's just where playing classic CoDs happened to lead me. They do naturally cover a lot of the same ground, and if anything, I can be a nervous to be joking around too much since some would see that as taking a rather serious/delicate topic too lightly. Anyway all good, happy to be playing classic games, and I have tons of options for major franchises that I've never touched. There'll always be some self-doubt, some worries that too much commentary can be annoying, the feeling that the level of praise doesn't match the product (sure, the video length makes for a lot of work, but in general a playthrough is a pretty simple thing, and live commentary has never come naturally to me.)
@@S0ur Thanks for the response, and yeah I went a bit overboard. So instead of doing that again, I'll just let you know again that you are doing great work, and to just follow whatever your heart tells you, it is your channel after all, we are just spectators.
When my dad came home with this game on the gamecube when I was 7, I had no idea what war looked like until I got past the first mission. You know people are sick of games being remade and all but I would like to see this game remade for the first mission alone
Heyyyy, look at that, I ended up in the video! That's cool. As for losing the footage, I think you did the best thing possible, not only by going through and telling what happened, but by incorporating parts of the audio into it as well. I would've liked even a few more of the audio clips, but I really have no complaints about how you handled that situation. God willing, it won't happen again, though. Good playthrough as usual, S0ur.
This was my first video game as a child. Man, those DDay sections.... I played the hell out of those missions. Will always love it, even if it's aged rather uhhh... poorly
Great video as usual! It sure was a journey to watch your pain through the no checkpoints and the terrible weapon accuracy (frontline is wonky like that). Love this game personally!
Man this game is the pinnacle of nostalgia... It doesnt hold up well even compared to the allied assault games, but at the time this was cinema quality. The Music too was absolutely amazing throughout. This game was responsible for my major in history and studying WW2 in college as well
1:03:40 This sequence with the truck HAS to remind you of something ;) Also this game has SPECTACULAR music, I'm not sure if you turned it down or other reasons. And I would hope Rising Sun would be next as it's basically a "sibling" game since it uses almost the same mechanics.
The bonus level did come to mind, but the layout of On Track was the real instant recognition moment lol. I've seen a couple people say that about the music, it's a shame I didn't seem to hear much. If it was turned down it wasn't on purpose, I didn't think it was because I did hear bits of music from time to time, I remember a couple tracks that were shared with Allied Assault... no clue why it wasn't playing more often. Hopefully that's not a GCN thing.
MOH Frontline was an awesome game my older and i played it so much on our Gamecube and the soundtrack is phenomenal i never completed the game but i should when i get the chance thanks for making this S0ur
I’m excited for pacific assault and European assault. Those were my childhood favorites in the Medal of Honor franchise before airborne came out. Thanks for walking me down memory lane with all the best ww2 games of my childhood.
Oh yeah, it's another S0ur and medal of honour combo. This has become my new favourite series on youtube. Never thought the cod videos could be topped but I was wrong
I can’t wait for rising sun. That was the first MOH I ever played and I replayed it a thousand times growing up. Also the 2 newest are some of my favorite ones
Also, fun fact: in operation Rapunzel, you can sneak past the guy who breaks your cover. I think all you gotta do is wait until he's leaving back for a smoke
Omg I used to LOVE this game, played it on ps2 and had so much fun !! 💞 Crazy looking back at it now though, used to think it looked so good and realistic, now it looks rather odd and clunky 😿. Anywho absolutely loved your playthrough and the trip down memory lane, one of the other ps2 moh games I played was European assault which also had no saves on the highest difficulty, I'm not sure if this was just a console thing maybe ? Anywho I'm excited for when you finally get up to that and vanguard, it really is so nostalgic looking back at these games that I had so much fun with growing up. Take care and all the best 😽💖
I would love to see a European assault playthrough! Frontline and European assault were 2 games that i played so much as a kid. I love the commentary, and it would be awesome to see you do a video on European assault. One of the first ever multi player FPS with a splitscreen deathmatch mode.
Fun fact: The Chef enemy is the same exact person each time you fight him. Each time you run into him, there are more and more battle wounds on his player model.
Fun Fact if no one else has said it.
The chef that you kept seeing throughout the game is the same exact chef. There’s actually a fun little backstory of him forming a grudge against Patterson.
Same happens with the Japanese chef in Rising Sun.
I know it's the same cook but I didn't know they had a back story lol
Where does this supposed story come from?
If it's the same chef then how does he keep dying?
Doesn't sound like much of a fact to me!
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT!
Rising sun has to be next Sour 🙏I’m loving these oldies the nostalgia is real thanks king!
And Pacific Assault
@@kahel5820imo worst in the series
My fav
Wildcard: He plays European Assault or infiltrator
@@Doviss_Wouldn't say so
I'd argue it's the game that modernized the MOH gameplay loop
this game not having any checkpoints made younger me very angry
That's what the original Medal of Honor in PS1 is like, very punishing in later levels, once you die, you have to start all over again.
And the AI cheats, A LOT, like they can sprint at you full speed while hitting you with pinpoint accuracy and blind fire without peaking their heads.
F**K me man, it's even more harder than Allied Assault and its expansions in some places.
This game took me weeks when i was a child to make the first mission haha
Yeah, I remember dying at the end of the dockyards mission and just outright quitting the game for the night 😂
Ugh. I remember how much of a challenge the Rough Landing level was. I was just hopping that Barnes would just not be a dumbass and die on my watch.
YYYEEEESSSSS!

My childhood, I'm so excited for this brother
Same. This was awesome. Brought back a wave of nostalgia.
Looking forward to it sister.
That silenced pistol has the accuracy of a Storm Trooper's blaster
A Disney stormtrooper blaster
Start, square, L1, circle, R1, Triangle, L2, select, R2, PS2 invincibility, from memory Btw, this game was hella fun
It was B,L trigger,B,R trigger, Y,L trigger, X, down on the d pad for the GameCube. Been over 15 years and that is the one invincibility code I remember because this game broke me as a kid
The amount of effort you put into captioning is underappreciated. A massive W for accessibility and understandibility!

I noticed another Private Ryan reference
When you hit enemies with the sniper, sometimes they hobble to the ground like Caparzo did after being hit
The music was always so haunting. Nothing makes me think of the sorrow or sacrifice of war quite like this soundtrack
Absolutely love these old COD and Medal of Honor playthroughs on your channel. Keep doing them!
I have so many fond memories with Frontline. The level variety, weapons, soundtrack, etc. Can’t beat that.
I actually appreciate the fact that you took your time to recap the 3 missions that the original recording missed and edit the original audio :)
I can only hope you do Rising Sun and Airborne. Those two games are so much fun
Airborne is fun, rising sun is torture.
Sometime i am wonder are people talk about rising sun or pacific assault.

Nothing like blaring the speakers on massive projector TVs. Truly a vibe that the younger generations will never understand
This channel always knows how to scratch my nostalgia muscles
Thanks for playing my favorite MoH!
I don't know how I always end up watching these when I'm hungover. I suppose that's a compliment, must mean that it's comforting lol. Anyways, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love it if you played the mass effect trilogy.

1:31:45 another two special animation would also occurred here, the first one is if you killed the sniper at the middle top of the bridge before you climbed up, he would fall but hanging because he was attached into a rope.
The second one is extremely rare i could only trigger this one when i still played the game, so all you have to do is to kill all the snipers at the top of the bridge except the middle one (yeah the same one) and then climb on top of the bridge, he would try to surrender but all you need to do is to wait for him. Seeing that you won't budge, this middle guy would slip and fell of the bridge or just continue begging for mercy (imagine seeing this the first time😮). I might be misremembered this one because i couldn't find someone recreating this on youtube. However this is just to show you that MOH frontline have a lot of secret
I'm so excited for Rising Sun. That game was the first one i ever played online on my ps2 as a kid. Was the coolest thing ever.
Although the video didn't record in the later sections, your raw audio still made me laugh (in solidarity). Great idea to keep playing and giving us a glimpse of what it must have been like!
This was my childhood, I have this whole game MEMORIZED
I will always be watching your 3 hour videos at work and it always makes me so happy when you play games like these
Bro this game is my childhood I’ve spent so much time on this game been waiting for you to upload this one.
My childhood… the graphics man… at the time, it felt like you were really there experiencing what your grandaddy went through. This game will always hold a special place in my heart.
Thanks for this video dude. This game was a big part of my childhood on the PS2. I can’t play it anymore, so I’ll watch it.
I played this game so much when I was young. I loved it. I also never beat it, until I dug up my 360, the disc, and played it with reverse compatibility last year. And good lord was it tough on Normal.
But there were still so many good memories.
WOOOOO THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITES, BEEN WAITING SO LONG!!!!
This was my first fps video game, very hard. Also hi sour been with you since mwr
Favorite Medal of Honor game! Operation market garden is such a banger, hell the whole ost is. I still play it sometimes when I’m in that mood
The first MOH was the first FPS game I ever played. I was absolutely hooked! And frontline just blew me away ❤️
Man I remember being stuck on the mission Arnhem knights for so long when I was a kid that I just got fed up with the game and traded it in at the local gamestop for another medal of honor game.
This man is a masochist for my entertainment, it feels oddly nice.
YEEEEESSSSS!!! been hoping for this one! 🍿
This and Rising Sun were some of my favorite ps2 games, can't wait to see that one too!
An absolute classic!!! Would love to see a playthrough of the modern Medal Of Honor games that came out!
As far as I know, this was the last MoH were character design was 'artisanal'. Everything you see about the NPCs, from the motion capture, to the animations and the models - it was all done by hand.
Respect from bringing back this gem, I wish you could have focussed a bit more on the character designs, the small details (such as soldiers mouthing silently before dying), but I suppose that comes with time - I'm pretty sure I have over 100 replays of the entire game.
This game right here, this Medal of Honor game was one of my First World War II shooters to play on the PS2 that ignited my love for history and warfare history with the second game being Call of Duty finest hour you already covered
Amazing video as always sour gave me a few good laughs throughout it! Gonna dig out my old PS2 and play through this once again!
This game was my childhood. I need to play it again on my ps2.
Playing this with the "Men with Hats" extra was the peak of humor in my childhood.
Seeing German soldiers with Ju-87s, Tanks, or just heads the size of their body running around was hilarious
This game was a massive part of my youth. Glad to see one of my favourite blokes play it
I think the chef is the same guy throughout the game and he starts to recognize you
This was my favorite gamecube game growing up. This is huge.
Back in the days my dad had this game, once I got my grubby little hands on it I played through it on every difficulty, HARD was very frustrating.
I’m super excited to see you play it!
The "one door" in Yard by Yard had me absolutely cackling. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that, but it was hilarious.
I recently started playing the remaster that comes with Medal of Honor 2010. And I'm going along, really enjoying it, thinking how it's held up pretty well. Then, BAM, I realize that there are no checkpoints....at all....anywhere..in the entire game. It totally ruined the game for me. My biggest pet peeve in gaming is having to redo sections/whole levels you've beaten over and over again. And I get it, like..ok, at the time, checkpoints on console weren't common. Fine. But this was a remaster. I cannot imagine why they didn't add them. They added modern(ish) controls, and subtitles..why would you not at least add the option to toggle checkpoints? It totally destroyed the game for me, which is a huge shame because I was enjoying it and wanted to platinum it but, 20 minutes into a mission and a random grenade or enemy spawn kills you, it's back to the VERY START. Screw.that.
One of the first video games I remember playing, I can only really think of the intro mission when I look back on it, definitely a true childhood classic.
This was my first PS2 game i played. I have no idea how old i was but i remember my dad picking it up after watching savinng private ryan. it was so cool!
Can't wait for the next titles! Keep going! Always so much fun to watch!
Been waiting for so long for this! Your the man sour!
Continue with the series
Hey, S0ur, recent sub and dedicated lurker since the first CoD playthrough.
In regards to your closing statements, I will say that while I did feel a bit lost in the Spearhead vid in terms of where you were in a level due to quicker editing on occasion, the Breakthrough vid and this one are perfect in that sense, coming form a guy who played Breakthrough a long time ago, and who did not play Frontline at all - I knew what was going on at all times in both, and was thoroughly entertained, watching each one in one sitting. Same goes for the Black Ops one even though I do not care for modern (read, CoD 4 onwards) CoDs that much.
I was also thinking that maybe the editing consternations come from slight material fatigue? As in, both CoD and MoH fall more into the standard FPS gameplay formula which can get stale after a while, not to mention constant WW2 (not that I mind, I do prefer that to modern stuff anyhow), so maybe some diversifications can help balance it out a bit, letting you rest from routine and jump into something more fresh? It may also help in testing the waters in terms of branching out the channel, cause I will admit I would watch you play through anything really, but not sure how it would fare in terms of channel metrics.
Anyway, if you want a switch from the typical FPS, then I may suggest Brothers In Arms (as I did in the Q&A question) which goes into a bit more "realistic" approach and adds some tactics into the mix, or if you feel really adventurous, you could try Full Spectrum Warrior, going into full tactics and mid 90s Middle East setting. Then there is the Sniper Elite series, though not sure if it would work beyond the second one in this 'play in one sitting' format, as later ones tend to be quite lengthy. There is also the option of some Vietnam themed shooters like Men of Valor or Vietcong.
Then there is also a question how far back you are willing to go, seeing you did not decide to play the first MoH from the 90s, and how obscure and jank you are willing to go, since as a Pole I dare mention the Mortyr series of WW2 shooters which are not great games by any means, most are not even okay probably, kinda the typical bargain bin shooter you would find in the 00s in game shops, but they are nevertheless quite important from a historical standpoint to the Polish gamedev, being that the first one was acknowledged, let's say, not terribly when it came out around the turn of the millennium.
And there there is of course a question about the Wolfenstein series and Battlefield campaigns and if you want to play those.
But yeah, apologies for going on a bit long, just something I thought you might take into consideration, but in any case, you are doing a fantastic job, and you are probably the highest quality TH-camr currently that does playthroughs of these older titles that are important to many people, and that means a lot. And your editing style and general presentation are the reasons for it.
An impressively in-depth reply hahah. Yep, I'm sure the urge to cut more and increase the pace partly comes from thinking people might be bored of seeing too much of the same stuff, even though that's clearly moreso just me after editing so many of them.
I certainly do intend to mix in some slightly different classic FPS settings to not just be non-stop WW2 - I really never expected to start to be typecast as a World War guy lol, that's just where playing classic CoDs happened to lead me. They do naturally cover a lot of the same ground, and if anything, I can be a nervous to be joking around too much since some would see that as taking a rather serious/delicate topic too lightly.
Anyway all good, happy to be playing classic games, and I have tons of options for major franchises that I've never touched. There'll always be some self-doubt, some worries that too much commentary can be annoying, the feeling that the level of praise doesn't match the product (sure, the video length makes for a lot of work, but in general a playthrough is a pretty simple thing, and live commentary has never come naturally to me.)
@@S0ur Thanks for the response, and yeah I went a bit overboard.
So instead of doing that again, I'll just let you know again that you are doing great work, and to just follow whatever your heart tells you, it is your channel after all, we are just spectators.
My entire family would sit around the tv playing the splitscreen multiplayer against each other on this game.
When my dad came home with this game on the gamecube when I was 7, I had no idea what war looked like until I got past the first mission. You know people are sick of games being remade and all but I would like to see this game remade for the first mission alone
Heyyyy, look at that, I ended up in the video! That's cool.
As for losing the footage, I think you did the best thing possible, not only by going through and telling what happened, but by incorporating parts of the audio into it as well. I would've liked even a few more of the audio clips, but I really have no complaints about how you handled that situation. God willing, it won't happen again, though. Good playthrough as usual, S0ur.
This was my first video game as a child. Man, those DDay sections.... I played the hell out of those missions. Will always love it, even if it's aged rather uhhh... poorly
Such tender tender memories with this game, the music makes me a little emotional, one of my first ps2 games.
Great video as usual! It sure was a journey to watch your pain through the no checkpoints and the terrible weapon accuracy (frontline is wonky like that). Love this game personally!
Man this game is the pinnacle of nostalgia... It doesnt hold up well even compared to the allied assault games, but at the time this was cinema quality. The Music too was absolutely amazing throughout. This game was responsible for my major in history and studying WW2 in college as well
1:03:40 This sequence with the truck HAS to remind you of something ;)
Also this game has SPECTACULAR music, I'm not sure if you turned it down or other reasons.
And I would hope Rising Sun would be next as it's basically a "sibling" game since it uses almost the same mechanics.
The bonus level did come to mind, but the layout of On Track was the real instant recognition moment lol. I've seen a couple people say that about the music, it's a shame I didn't seem to hear much. If it was turned down it wasn't on purpose, I didn't think it was because I did hear bits of music from time to time, I remember a couple tracks that were shared with Allied Assault... no clue why it wasn't playing more often. Hopefully that's not a GCN thing.
This certainly unlocked some memories for me...
Oh hey i recognize you, funny seeing you here! Good taste, good memories indeed.
This game kicked my ass when I was a kid, I have no doubt it would again as an adult lol. Thanks for the great videos
Thank you sincerely for reminding me of my childhood, if your not worn out pleasee do rising sun ❤
MOH Frontline was an awesome game my older and i played it so much on our Gamecube and the soundtrack is phenomenal i never completed the game but i should when i get the chance thanks for making this S0ur
I’m excited for pacific assault and European assault. Those were my childhood favorites in the Medal of Honor franchise before airborne came out. Thanks for walking me down memory lane with all the best ww2 games of my childhood.
S0ur's M1911 redemption run continues! I look forward to seeing his reaction to what it can become in Airborne.
This was very entertaining!! I really like your commentary. Gonna check if you have a COD: Big Red One video next. Keep it up dude!!!
2:33 always cracks me up how that man just takes off flying from that explosion 😂
Man im getting flashbacks remembering how tough that game was... even on medium i got beat up as a kid.
Oh yeah, it's another S0ur and medal of honour combo. This has become my new favourite series on youtube. Never thought the cod videos could be topped but I was wrong
this is why finishing old games campaigns was very satisfying !
I can’t wait for rising sun. That was the first MOH I ever played and I replayed it a thousand times growing up. Also the 2 newest are some of my favorite ones
Also, fun fact: in operation Rapunzel, you can sneak past the guy who breaks your cover. I think all you gotta do is wait until he's leaving back for a smoke
Omg I used to LOVE this game, played it on ps2 and had so much fun !! 💞 Crazy looking back at it now though, used to think it looked so good and realistic, now it looks rather odd and clunky 😿. Anywho absolutely loved your playthrough and the trip down memory lane, one of the other ps2 moh games I played was European assault which also had no saves on the highest difficulty, I'm not sure if this was just a console thing maybe ? Anywho I'm excited for when you finally get up to that and vanguard, it really is so nostalgic looking back at these games that I had so much fun with growing up. Take care and all the best 😽💖
I would love to see a European assault playthrough! Frontline and European assault were 2 games that i played so much as a kid. I love the commentary, and it would be awesome to see you do a video on European assault. One of the first ever multi player FPS with a splitscreen deathmatch mode.
So much nostalgia, renting the game on fridays when i get home and just grinding it out all weekend on the old console.
