Hut moy with yor ruthum stuck.

I was just listening to MJOLNIR Mix from the Halo 2 soundtrack and it's such an epic track.  It made me wonder if I think it's epic because of the actual music, or if it's just because I subconsciously associate it with big battle moments on the game.  Would someone who hasn't played the game feel the same level of excitement?  Would they feel the adrenaline?  Or is that adrenaline boost akin to Pavlov's dog's salvations after hearing the ding of a bell?
