99.1% pure.

Hand Sanitizer vibes.

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

You're goddamn right

[@mimic1610]

Dude I can barely notice the voices GOOD JOB

[@mimic1610]

Also can you make a secondary version without the news reporters

[@TheBackshield]

@@mimic1610 No. For the overall listening experience, this is the best version I can offer.

[@TimeToGoToSpace]

This track always haunt me because it’s a call to the future. We are fucking doomed.

[@lobaandrade7172]

It’s so cool to finally hear the intro music on its own like this

[@t2hk_]

why does the best track always have to be an unreleased one? 😞

[@royalarmybeserker_if]

"Fire. Flint. Language. Machines. In the face of crises, Humanity adapted. We became warriors, explorers, builders. Geniuses, flying forward. In control of a changing world. I'm old enough to remember what that world used to be like."

[@Dekanzy]

We used to have places we belong. Community, country, family...

[@user-es1ge5jf1r]

“We call ourselves the No-Pats the Non patriotic stateless warriors fighting for their survival”

[@rbgerald2469]

​@@Dekanzy..One failed state became a dozen; and soon people fled everywhere, seeking safety.

​@@user-es1ge5jf1r "Caught between the last two superpowers as they circle each other, fighting for resources, threatening to draw us into a new kind of war"

[@Sekiro312]

Why couldn’t they just make a campaign for this man

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

We got one in real life.

[@_u0nda928]

​@@DrumToTheBassWoopUnfortunately, and it's a terrifying very possible outcome of our future. This shit is more scary than any fictional future utopia story

[@nickzwolfz8070]

@@_u0nda928it’s scary that this story is entirely possible to come true, all the worlds needs is a spark to light the fuse…

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

​@@nickzwolfz8070just look right now, more and more instability. 😐

[@American-patriot.]

Even if they did what it really be that good

[@MALOK003]

lowkey one of the most scary and beautiful tones I have heard.

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

It's... beautiful. It rivals even the best of the orchestra scores from 1 and V.

[@mutluardaerdogmus]

These sounds may not depict world of 2042 but i think it shows us the world of 2024, i always got saddening listening to this and after that i always think, how can we stop something like this to happen. People losing their homes, soldiers which are just still a baby for their mothers losing their limbs, devastation of civilization, all of these natural disasters. I sometimes think like " come on this is just in my head there will be nothing" but when i look around and i see that, these imaginations in my head are not only in my head they are also in future waiting for us to make stupid decisions again and again to show up and create irreversible results. I wish to the person who is reading this my best wishes and i hope one day we will make this planet a better place, but not today. Until then, be safe. And i also hope there is someone who will read this...

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

It's unsettling, no doubt. All I can advise, is to get skilled up in multiple disciplines, it may become useful.

[@cloverr69]

This really just aches me, think of what 2042 could have been. I don't mind the specialists, it's a decent system, but at least make their personality more realistic. 2042 could have been a battlefield with a dark and gritty theme just like V or 1, maybe even darker. But instead we got simple 2 sided commanders whose breifs don't even sound genuine. Lore that isn't seen having an effect in the battlefield, and a movement system that makes this game feel more like MW2 than having some more controller-based combat. The game has its fun moments, but we got an aesthetic that was more "Rip n Tear fun shoot and blow em up" than "You're fighting a losing battle to try and save humanity, think carefully."

[@MA-jn7rd]

2:05 From this onward, minus the news broadcast voices, shouldve been the official battlefield 2042 theme. It captures the sense of fear and dread from a dying world because of climate change on the verge of a world war and still manages to sound like a futuristic battlefield song.

[@MA-jn7rd]

Also because 2:28 sounds amazing, gets me pumped to play

[@BATSIGMA1]

1:00 This season 2 song gave me goosebumps!!😬

[@fapKOking]

2023 2024 in a nutshell. Also 2025 entering a solar extreme wonder if the grid will withstand disturbance from em and thermal extremes.

[@CaptainBones222]

One of the people that made this also made the Joker, no wonder this is so good.

[@MachineD3vil]

What the world used to be like..

"I'm old enough to remember what the world used to be like.. We had places we belonged, homes."

I FOUND IT FINALLY LET’S GO

[@Felinal_19]

HE'S DONE IT

[@Hiraeth-0X]

Theme of 2024

[@TitanEarth]

Would be epic and dark at the same time...

[@flipsshack]

Switch around that 42 on 2042. The coincidence is sorta uncanny too.

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

"Price of fresh water reached an all time high" *monotone English voice* 😐

[@NOTH4R]

Has some elements that remind me heavily of 2WEI - Circles, great track and potential for setting the world building

[@MALOK003]

I think your spot on there mate, they used songs from emergence, that album clearly affected the route they took for the soundtrack

[@phenic644]

man just why dosnt it have campaing dude this game would be so good

[@lfd10noob]

agreed

[@polskioski]

Finally! Is there also a version without the news reporters or is it a part of the soundtrack?

[@TheBackshield]

For the overall listening experience, this is the best version I can offer.

[@polskioski]

@@TheBackshield so it is a part of the track. It's still cool to hear it without the voice over

[@DrumToTheBassWoop]

The panicked voices add to the immersion, it's a feeling of complete panic as the world bends into a new reality. 😐

[@GazDaLad]

Holy crap you did it!

Battlefield!!!

[@kinglew0773]

If only this was the theme instead of the piece of garbage we got

[@kelsonavila]

O que aconteceu com o vídeo da OST Game Opening?

[@sausaigeham1104]

You are only able to watch it once as a new player of the game. Like how Bf4 had the badass intro before pressing play to the menu button I wish they kept it in BF2042 after you've entered the game for the first time.

[@RaccoonInvasion]

Kinda like the intro cinematic music? kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXTCoJqheLpoqK8

[@TheBackshield]

It is.

[@RaccoonInvasion]

@@TheBackshield So it's not really unreleased, just not a part of any official soundtrack?

[@TheBackshield]

@@RaccoonInvasion Correct.

[@JuanPerez-du7tb]

pretty much the only good theme song the whole game has
