Welcome back on the Battlefield. A reminder for those who may have missed news from few weeks ago: I'm expanding this channel beyond music-only uploads and in the future all standalone tracks (including BF2042) will be uploaded on my second channel: kzbin.info/door/F747lo4djbzTk2220csmFw I will continue uploading compilations, megamixes aka Musical Journeys and spoken videos here. Anyway... 2042 Hype anyone?

[@User-1147]

Absolute Hype!!

[@saber_2_6]

Battlefield 1 was about the War to End All Wars. Battlefield V was about Man's Greatest Conflict. Battlefield 3 was about two soldiers stopping a nuclear attack. Battlefield 4 was about a group of soldiers defending a political leader. And now, Battlefield 2042 is about humanity's survival in the new world where climate change changed the world forever. I like how Dice evolved Battlefield's lore from historical events, generic wars to events that might happen 20 years from now.

God im getting big Battlefield 1 and 5 (especially BF5 Norway tracks) vibes with this feeling of hopelessness and sorrow that this track has. Truly resonates to the cruel world that 2042 is set in, where humanity is in the brink of destruction and people are desperately fighting for their lives. Everything... is falling apart.

[@User-1147]

It’s like the best of both the historical and the modern battlefields in one.

[@jrh7178]

@@User-1147 EXACTLY. Thats how i would summarize it aswell

[@jrh7178]

Just a shame that the game itself is not comparable to this OST

[@bigshobe]

Love this direction, fresh and not just a rehash of the BF3/BF4 glitch music Perfectly summarizes a chaotic, cold future...

[@jrh7178]

This comment did not age well 😔. Man i really though that most soundtracks wouldve been more like this, instead of what we got

[@giahuynguyenkim6389]

@@jrh7178 IT doesn't work for action setpieces. Not the bombastic, Hollywood kind at least. The grim one works though as a tension build up

[@gagool3434]

I'm so glad someone posted this, am I the only one who found the menu intro beautiful ?

[@User-1147]

Fortunately, you’re not the only one who appreciates this.

[@r3cker]

I love how ambient and daunting it is. I really hope the OST has more tracks like this.

[@User-1147]

The legend himself.

[@KarelDLZoete]

So sad to see that the gritty sound and composition is in no way a reflection of the end product. Anyway. Let’s hope another studio (Ripple?) will pick up the quality and work that DICE was able to deliver for a final time back in 2016 (or: a niche studio that is able to deliver a similar title in the arcade-blended with milsim/realism sphere)

[@saber_2_6]

News: The soundtrack will be composed by Hildnur Gudnadóttir who is known for Joker and Chernobyl!

[@GazDaLad]

came here to say this too lol

[@TheKurdishLemon]

it feels like doomer wave and i like it

[@jordanxbrookes]

Chilling, yet beautiful. Reminds me a bit of Assassin's Creed 1 strangely when in Masyaf.

[@SaekAncient]

Although I don’t mind 2042 not having a campaign, this music just makes me think of what could’ve been.

[@boomcharin]

Niiice. Just saw your vid on the BF Discord. Liked & subbed 👍

[@nicksterpick]

A bleak soundtrack for a bleak setting... I like it

[@BumWolf]

Please be Johan Soderqvist and Patrik Andren again! I will legit cry if these two legends come back

[@jrh7178]

Yessss same. They have easily been the best composers on Battlefield so far. Only thing i worry is that they run out of ideas. They have already done shit loads of tracks already for BF1 and 5

[@Scuffkin412]

AAAAA i beg with you man they have made some masterpieces in the latest soundtracks in Bf1 & Bfv

[@GazDaLad]

im afraid it aint them....im saddened aswell Hildur Guðnadóttir is the composer of BF2042

[@travisbickle8773]

I would like to have the bf4 music composers back again this sounds like something out of joker

[@The_Milio]

When I heard it I sweared it was made by artists like Lorn. I'm loving this theme

[@saber_2_6]

I have a feeling that it might be composed by Trent Reznor himself

[@IAMBIGJ745]

we gon need a journey through 2042 compilation bro ;)

[@User-1147]

I hope Battlefield 2042 is so good it feels like a journey we can reminisce on in the future.

Sounds better than the final version

[@stevemc6010]

Kind of has a HBO Chernobyl vibe

[@kagan4926]

Exactly what I thought

[@piotrosinski-petestradamus6204]

Yes indeed. I love it.

[@dorianpetrov1317]

As it turns out the music is made by the same composer

[@GazDaLad]

IRONIC

Welp, I now know why

[@2huDrew]

What happened to the “Warfighter” soundtracks?

[@JackOfBlackPhoenix]

They got moved to my other channel as I wanted to pre-seed it a bit and most of these had pretty low viewership so there wasn't much to lose. Here's the playlist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qorOn4N6aLxpgdE

[@2huDrew]

@@JackOfBlackPhoenix thx

[@trooper_0257]

Very nice. Would it be possible to extract the music from the opening cutscene since it doesn’t appear in the official soundtrack?

[@saber_2_6]

Okay this is something Trent Reznor can make O-O

[@ZION-4-]

Really good song…did u create this yourself?

[@flipsshack]

This came from the 2042 developer livestream, they had this and another track playing for the waiting screen and also the countdown
