[Thabass]

I don't even know what I'm listening to...it just sounds like...sounds.

 

[Kenpachii]

Yea no ty.

 

[Shmunter]

Next up. Bf2042 has spawned quite the fan art porn following.

Keep trying EA

 

[MrFunSocks]

“Amazing! I’ve always wanted to just kick back and listen to the soundtrack of an FPS video game!”

- No one, ever.

 

[OrtizTwelve]

why is this such a big deal, the game doesn’t even have a story mode or campaign.

 

[Barakov]

Given those songs names, This just makes me think there was a campaign at some point and they realized how terrible it was and decided to just axe it.

 

[Robb]

Sounds awful, which is a shame because the original BF theme is really good imo.

 

[MiguelItUp]

All that matters is the BF theme and it's renditions.

Uh Plenty of people listen to Halo's soundtrack... I'm sure people listen to other fps soundtracks all the time, like I love the N64 Turoks soundtracks.

theres PLENTY of amazing video game soundtracks to listen to

shaddap

for a multiplayer only game this makes sense, warzone added a creepy ass soundtrack (song?) and it worked, its supposed to be vibey not an anthem. that being said im turning that shit off before game 1

 

[rubhen925]

What have they done to my Battlefield theme..... They butchered it. It's just random sounds distorted over one another....

 

[Fare thee well]

I never even noticed these games had soundtracks.

 

[Poppyseed]

Both Ori games say HI YOU ARE WRONG.

 

[MrFunSocks]

Ori games aren't FPS military shooters lol.

 

[YukiOnna]

BF had music? Been playing since BF1942 and never heard anything outside of gunshots and explosions, lol.

 

[Poppyseed]

Ori games aren't FPS military shooters lol.

Well…not with that attitude they’re not!

 

[Dr Bass]

Well…not with that attitude they’re not!

That was a valiant effort. Bravo.

Add Turok 1 and 2, and Half-Life to the mix.

Blood Dragon's soundtrack is just amazing though.

 

[BarringGaffner]

This rendition of the main theme just made me… sad.

 

[Cyborg]

The main theme is just bad. This is a huge disapointment

 

[Loke]

Stepdown from Battlefield 3's soundtrack IMO.

 

[Starbuck2907]

Doom and Quake.

nine inch nails worked on an old quake game and the new doom soundtracks are pretty popular.

 

[Spukc]

why is this such a big deal, the game doesn’t even have a story mode or campaign.

Oh yeah i keep forgetting that

 

[Fahdis]

This rendition of the main theme just made me… sad.

Its the worst. Sounds like farts all over the place.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

I don't even know what I'm listening to...it just sounds like...sounds.

Yep, these are just noises to enhance a multiplayer game.

I'm surprised there's a track list tbh.

 

[STARSBarry]

God this is indeed shit, I'm sorry to who ever made this but your just bad at this whole music thing.

 

[Starfield]

Better than BFV's mediocre Hans Zimmer theme for sure

 

[Spaceman292]

“Amazing! I’ve always wanted to just kick back and listen to the soundtrack of an FPS video game!”

You've clearly never listened to the Halo ODST soundtrack

 

[MrFunSocks]

You've clearly never listened to the Halo ODST soundtrack

Ah yes, cause Halo the single player campaign and Battlefield 2042 the multiplayer game with no campaign are clearly very similar in terms of how their soundtracks will be composed.

Not sure how many people have wanted a soundtrack for Halo's Slayer MP mode music.

You just said FPS video game

 

[MrFunSocks]

Can't have people using their own brains to think now, can we?

 

[LazyParrot]

Sounds like a farting competition in a machine shop.

 

[VN1X]

[skit_data]

Does it still consist of highly distorted bass sounds going dundu-dunn-du-dunndunn?

 

[Luipadre]

Better than BFV's mediocre Hans Zimmer theme for sure

not sure if serious

 

[SJRB]

Bizarre style choice, it honestly sounds like it was a faulty upload half the time.

 

[lame gag1990]

If that main theme is actually the main theme, that's fucked and the guy who made it can get fucked. How dare you butcher the theme that bad.

“Amazing! I’ve always wanted to just kick back and listen to the soundtrack of an FPS video game!”

"MrFunSocks, you're a fucking spacker."

- Me

 

[TheTechnician]

Disgusting

 

[MDSLKTR]

I never even noticed these games had soundtracks.

And that's a shame

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Yeah the samples I picked out were all garbo. The main theme has been demolished. I get they want to change it up and everything but.... yeah... naw....

Quite a shame, the theme is iconic of course, and there has been other good stuff in recent BF games:


edit: Only reason I am late is because when I saw the stupid MUSIC BY HANS ZIMMER bullshit I went to find the not-retarded upload instead, and by the time I did someone had uploaded the bullshit. Ya know what. I stand by what I did.

 

[sircaw]

Boom Boom Boom, i thought this songs title would be about war but i was wrong

 

[Majima Everywhere System]

Glad to see EA getting fleeced by composers. Truly an injustice what happened to the Batlkefield theme. It's honestly good enough to loop for 20 years of games.

 

[Newari]

Holy shit that main theme sounds unpleasant.

 

[Starfield]

not sure if serious

yes im dead serious. Hans Zimmer is a good composer, but he is also a very generic composer. He's the king of mediocrisity. Like, he makes the best 0815 soundtracks, thats it.

I don't think that's fair really, he's not one of my favourites but something like his score for interstellar is so good, the generic complaint might only get some traction if you don't acknowledge that he's often the one setting the tone and other composers are copying him.

He's just about the most famous composer in cinema, certainly of his generation, working on the biggest productions making music that is enjoyed by millions.
It feels a bit try hard to attempt to knock him down a notch when he's about as successful as it's possible to be.

I should have been more specific about it. Generic video game scores.

Hes movie work is awesome

 

[Spaceman292]

Sounds like your brain fell out of your ear at some point

 

[Yams]

I like what I hear. Sounds futuristic and unsettling. It feels like some of Jóhann Jóhannsson's film scores (Arrival, Sicario).
