    I'm going with classic "uraah!" because of its brutal simplicity

    I remember watching the first part Gladiator when the Germanians cut off the Roman Messengers head and then the leader was speaking Germanian really loud then all his troops started screaming this haunting chant, I don't if the Germanians really did that in history(the chant I was talking about) but if they did I would pick that one, The first time I watched Gladiator that chant sent shivers down my spine, and it was just a movie! lol

    That chant came from the movie "zulu" the director loved it so much he had to put it in. The same goes for me one of the best movies ever made and best battlecries ever

    wouldn't it be better to charge before the orcs got set up with theire pikes and everything? Besides it's not like they needed to have time to plan the charge as it was just a tightly packed blob of horses and men.

    I think this is why they invented guns. So the troops wouldn't have to experience such intimidating battle cries. The Zulu's were truly an intimidating enemy.

    I would have to say the Maori Battle cry would be the most intimidating, you may recognize it better as the Haka from before each rugby match. There are many different varieties and it even changes from time to time.

    or even a more traditional one
