Yooo the amount of times I jumped when they charged at you. Especially the third mission the midnight raid mission, when they charged at you with bayonets
If you stay back like Tanaka tells you, he’ll start talking to the officers in Japanese, and they’ll leave you alone. Of course, you’ll end up killing them anyways later. But I always listened to Tanaka. He’s a real pal.
To be fair, he was very persuasive. Those soldiers wanted to live but with the help of .45 ACP he changed their mind. Mostly into a red stain on the pavement, but still.
fun Singaporean trivia: while the layout is fictional, judging by the location in game, your mission starts off at Beach Road and you make your way towards Arab Street (as evidenced from the Sultan Mosque at 15:29). you eventually stop at what appears to be Raffles Hotel (which has a similar structure design and layout to the actual building) for the Axis Summit.
That's right, people: Yuri Lowenthal AND the legendary Mako themselves were both in this video game! In fact, this was quite possibly the first video game voice acting debut for BOTH of them.
This was always my favorite mission in the game by far, but I’ve only recently realized something that makes it even more interesting. I never actually understood what Shima was planning when I was younger. The most I could gather was that he was obviously motivated by greed and gold, but then I realized that what he’s actually proposing is the overthrow of both Hitler and Stalin’s regimes. Kandler and Borov, then, are traitors to their dictatorial regimes back home who have risked everything for this plan to succeed. I know we wanted to gather intel on the summit but...did we really have to stop them? The war could’ve been all but over on the western front by 1943 without Hitler and Stalin in charge. I kind of get the feeling Shima was planning a coup in Japan too, he would’ve had to know that once Germany was defeated, Japan would be next, so he would need to quickly consolidate power and negotiate a settlement with the allies. Of course we’ll never know now. But still...it‘a a really intriguing alternative history possibility
Yeah, Rising Sun deserves recognition for having a story more nuanced and interesting than "stop Nazis from building Wunderwaffen X", which you don't see in a lot of WWII games
The only way this scheme could have possibly helped the Japanese is if the new German regime continued to fight the Western allies. Otherwise, all Shima has accomplished is freeing up 80 percent of Americas war effort for use in the Pacific.
@@thanhdanhvu5886Definitley is underrated. The whole game felt like a pre-James Bond conspiracy between much more evil counterparts. Who knows Op Valkyrie in this game universe was influenced by Shima’s coup?
@@Gillan1220Funnily enough as this game was developed, so was GoldenEye Rogue Agent, who unfortunately also met a mixed reception no thanks to its rushed development cycle
This mission has stunning similarities to a mission in Medal of Honor: Frontline. An officer in heart boxers informing everyone your an impostor. A chef trying to kill you. The devs of Frontline must've loved this mission.
Really? No one is going to comment on the fact that the voice of the head Japanese guy in the palace is also the voice of The Uncle Iro in Avatar The Last Airbender!? Cmon people.
Congrats buddy you commented it. The world can sleep quietly and at peace now that you shared this arbitrary tidbit of information. You did it, you saved the world
I find Rising Sun unique because it's set in a part of World War II that's not normally explored that being the Pacific theatre, Rising Sun was actually one of the most underrated games in the series
So many hated this Medal of Honor. I actually think it’s awesome. The amount of time I put into this and Frontline since I was a teen is crazy haha. I love my newer games and consoles, but I’m always going back to the MOH games from Ps1-ps2 days. They need to remaster these games!!
It honestly would've been great if EA didn't decide to make the AI dumber than a bag of hammers and make the maps incredibly linear. It's insane how ridiculous the NPCs can be, moreso when they take cover behind...nothing.
It’s a one shot kill 95% of the time, even if you shoot them in the midsection. Very good for getting the drop on enemies, which is what it’s designed for. When I got compromised, I would always switch to the Colt.
Interestingly the Welrod is supposed to be a bolt action pistol that uses a detachable magazine, it's not supposed to be a single shot weapon like it is in the game
I love the similarities between this game and MOH frontline..both games feature one crazy knife throwing person ' german chef ' Japanese cook '..both have a reference to food- both have a german in the same Trousers who has his uniform stolen in 2 disguise missions...etc. lol
Dianna Mathieson I absolutely despised that part because I always thought he was going to kill me in one hit so I told my brother to kill him while I run away
I remember being 8 or 9 and I would laugh at the guy that appears in his pants every single time I would play the mission...Miss those days so badly...😣
This game needs to come back either on the Nintendo switch,Forget PS5 and Xbox series X. All the Medal of Honor games need a return miss playing these games
Used to play this game so much. And when I got bored of the campaign, the multiplayer had a way to play against the AI, so I did that a lot too. I do that with CoD all the time now. I actually still have this for Xbox as well
I have no clue why they made the Welrod a single-shot. Historically it had a magazine in the handle, you just had to cycle the bolt after each shot like a bolt-action rifle and it'd load the next round. I think it had like a 10-round capacity. EDIT: So, when I was a kid I never understood what the hell they were talking about at the summit, but I almost wish they didn't have the real German guy come and ruin your cover so you could work as an agent on the inside, helping the Japanese take out Stalin and Hitler - only to then cross the Japanese and expose them.
8 round. They probably made it Single shot for balancing reasons, also the Welrod was known to have feeding issues since the magazine also functioned as the grip, and was not well supported.
I remember every detail in this game even though its been over 10 years i have played it. Now games are based for the graphics and no for the gameplay. I miss it
I'm not certain but I believe the game changes slightly if you play CO-OP I remember certain situations being set up differently. Idk if it's true or not.
lol if i remember correctly you couldn't play the last mission while in coop, i used to play with my dad and we always thought we had beaten up the game, only when i played it single player i could reach the real ending I know it has been 2 years but whatever
The Katana wielding officer always manages to slash you before you can melee them. What is fun to do though, is to bait them into a slash, step back, then move forward again and whack them.
I guess it was probably done for balance reasons but IRL the Welrod was a repeating pistol, and had a 8 round magazine. Then again it was also known to be very finicky with feeding each round so single-loading may be the better option
It's because of this mission that even close to 20 years later when ever I eat noodles I always say to myself when I'm done, "The noodles are wet and spicy!"
medal of honor frontline: german- gimme back my uniform ( runs around in his heart trousers ) .. medal of honor rising sun: german again running around in his heart trousers....you AGAIN!?
13:35 As a kid I thought this meant he was living in that little space you're talking to him in, and I thought it was crazy that he was so close to Japanese troops the whole time.
Was it just me who would occasionally get the staircase glitch after the car crash/uniform heist cut scene? Other than that this particular mission, and game as a whole really, was the reason for my love for war games.
I bet EA would make good money if they did a remaster of all the old school ps2 medal of honor’s and put them into one bundle. With multiplayer and all.
Leaving the officer alive will do that. At the very least, kidnap them or tie them up or something. Or lock them in their room, like Manon did in MOH: Underground with the photographer.
The most memorable mission in the game IMO
AFGuidesHD indeed
AFGuidesHD gotta love that one shot welrod 😁
I love this mission
AFGuidesHD true
AFGuidesHD. Gsxtesf
When I was a kid playing this there was nothing scarier and more intimidating than the guy that pulls out the katana and starts charging at you 🤣🤣🤣😅😅
Hahaha yep, i remember that shit, that bro was scary.🤣🤣

I break every single box I can find, even the ones I know have nothing in them. I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished my mission otherwise

The katana guys. I GOT SO FUCKING MAD WHEN PLAYING THIS.
This bring back some great memories
As a kid I would build this mission out of Lincoln logs and then play through it with army men
I dont know why,but i believe if they rework the graphics,it will be fascinating.....will be nice if we can have a remastered version
Scariest enemy in this game is that samurai officer and ninja chef.
This game was my childhood
I like how bullets are non-lethal but pistol whips are lethal.
Lol cheat codes enacted!! I remember that playing this along with the many Medal of Honor games as a kid. Always wished it were still a franchise.
They need to release this game, along with the rest of the series, onto the Switch ASAP.
Holy hell the nostalgia.
I need to fix my Xbox
This mission scared me more than midnight raid lol
I always got lost in this mission 😂
The inaccuracy is Welrod has 6-8 rounds magazine, it's not a single-fire pistol.
I remember my dad leaving the Gamecube on for the whole night because it wouldn't save properly sometimes
Good memories

There's an easter egg during the meeting.. if you looked up you could actually see your comrade prepped for action
