Holding you, couldn't be alone

Burial-Archangel

Holding you, couldn’t be alone

In the document Harry Gregson-Williams said that Hideo and the rest of the team described some cutscenes to him, and he composed the music based on those descriptions. So the music was made first.

1:38

In 2023, this is still one of the great game soundtrack songs, if not one of the greatest intro sequences in gaming. I remember getting my PS2 modified just to be able to play the NTSC version of this before the eventual release. This intro music gives me goosebumps.

“Our boy is right on schedule. He’ll know soon enough.”

1:47 Love the bass line in the background here

Sergei and Olga Gurlukavitch, Captain Dolph, and that random spetznaz that spotted snake disliked this

1:38 Archangel

I listen to this when im walking on campus...I walk real slow step by step as people pass me.

1:38 is where Burial starts

"Our boy...is right on schedule." "He'll know.....soon enough."

Tactical Infiltration & Espionage music at its finest.

"Hudson River,two years ago.We received a intel that a new type of metal gear was scheduled for transport.The whole thing stank,but our noses had been out in the cold for too long..."

Solid Snake: "Kept ya waiting huh?"

Greatest MGS memories... one of my all-time favorite games

man for some reason this whole intro is my fondest memory of the series. was still young when i played this for the first time, and i replayed the tanker level sooo many times, and even tho i knw it by heart, rarely skipped the intro :P

idk bout you but burial seems to be a big MGS fan

Stealth camo's busted. Landing impact.

1:55 with the choire, synths and orchestra…It sounds amazing!!!

Snakes jump was epic :)

1:38 couldnt be alone

In MGS4, I died 3 times trying to get the opening intro music to MGS2 when snake first landed down.

Camouflage fail: ✅ Jumping off the bridge:✅ Landing at the tanker:✅ Ocelot's return:✅ Fighting with Olga:✅ Taking pictures with RAY:✅✅

the scene with the Russians invading was smooth and my favorite.

MGS2 has the best Intro out of the series. The Menu of MGS2 is cool too with the remix song of the menu music in MGS1. I can't find the song where it plays when the opening cinematic when u start The Big Shell Operation.

Best opening to any game. Change my mind.

Burial fans when they hear keys rattle

I wonder if they do the cutscenes or the music first, if there is much communication between the musician and hideo cause the music always syncs up so well

To those comparing MGS and Splinter Cell...the first MGS was released 4 years before Splinter Cell. MGS set the standard for the genre...and the music is ear-rapingly awesome. Therefore, MGS > Splinter Cell.

exactly!

the hudsen river, two years ago, we had classified intelligence that a new type of metel gear was sceduled for transport... the whole thing stank but our noses had been out in the cold for too long.

awesome song luv it!!! Just need to beat MG in E-Extreme

It grew on me.

@ 2:00 it always gives me the shivers :D

at' a boy, he's right on schedule.... he'll know soon enough

Solid snake is the biggest badass ever

Kept you waiting huh? I 'm at the sneak point.

1:38 some ray j w this would go hard

Freeze ! - Huh ? *aiming his head* - Are you going to shot me ? ! *Mk2 headshot* *Good night fkin soldier*

so true when you get a chance check out the song archangel by burial- he totally samples the choir in his song.....if you love it check out the envaderz on myspace or youtube too i got a lot of their beats videos you might like

The whole thing stank, but our noses had been out in the cold for too long... ^_^

Does anyone know the music that plays after this? When the Gurlukovich soldiers kill the marines.

mgs 3 is my fav cuz the original snake is badass

1:38 what type singing style is plz somebody suggest me some music genre with this typr of choir

Then we got stuck with krappy raiden for the rest of the game.

I like this sound at 0:19 - 0:20 someone knows what is? And the Choir great Gregson-Williams ^^.

That awkward moment when the two top comments are exactly the same

Snake! Cigarettes? What's wrong with you? It's kind of a lucky charm

1:38 - 151 !!!

yeah the whole thing stank cause my shit was in the toilet too long

well, the trailers only showed the tanker mission, there was almost nothing shown of raiden's entire mission.

@parrotdude94 Comon his name is The Obvious Troll, nothing he says should be taken seriously. MGS 4 LIFE

@BjGard that awkward moment when liking your comment might falsify said comment

@The0bviousTroll why would say that this game sucks. Are talking about MGS 2 in general or are u talking about the whole series. Cuz i believe MGS4 won game of the year in 2008.

They should bring MGS 2 and 3 out on ps3

just loop 0:16-0:26

why whats wrong with mgs 3

E

Shame the rest of the game didn't quite live up to the promise of the trailers.

wtf i get a thumbs down

Lol Naked Snake isn't really that badass, except for this CQC skills Solid Snake is so much more calm and cool.
