Title: Sound Familiar? (Medieval 2 Intro)

Sound Familiar? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7j-tC9ON2j8#t=0m18s)

It's a little quiet, but most of you should instantly recognize the sample being used. Dan Wentz used a symphonic choir pack for FS2, so its likely the composer for Medieval 2 happened to use the same sample, but I still find it amusing.

Yeah the beggining is just like one of the briefing songs, I wonder if that's been used elsewhere as well.

Definitely the same sample; nice catch.

In particular it's used in the start of the FS2 credits music, which is also used as briefing music.

It's part of a standard sample pack, I think I had that sample myself once.

It was used in End of Days starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as well.

I'm pretty sure the sample immediately following is used in Halo 2's soundtrack.
