[@soylencer]

Someone pointed out that, given the Lore (that doesn't really showcase in-game), that the glitchpunk, discordant nature of the track is spot-on. It is uncomfortable to listen to, but still pays homage to the classic BF theme. It presents the song without grace, and without harmony, like the world of 2042. The broken melody and electronic screwiness sells both the high-tech nature of the world 2044 as well as the failure of that technology (as the Lore expresses). It's a good example of a great idea with somewhat poor execution. I believe they could have exhibited these ideas better, but they didn't want to song to feel glorious because this was not a glorious war. Unfortunately the gameplay does very little to share the emotion of the lore and the theme.

Bf3 has a special place in my heart, I think it was the first shooter I ever got but the thing is I didn’t have an Xbox 360 account and I didn’t realize it at the time so evertime I turn it on I had to restart the game, recently 2 months ago I saw the game was on sale in the store for 3 dollars and figured I’d play it. Then I finnaly remember the whole running from the cops and hoping on the train part. I had to play the game all in one sitting and finished it in about four hours on a school night with my dad. My god was it nostalgic. Not only was I getting farther than 9 year old me had but it was bringing back up old memories. And then bf1 I remember how I loved it so much, one fond memory was waking up early to play on a cold morning before my bus came, I played on the map that you fight in the hallways, it’s like a big fort. Man I love the battlefield series.

I remember from my younger self when I was nine (I'm 15 now), my father was a crazy battlefield addict. I would always sneak out of bed at night and go down to my basement and watch him play battlefield 4, and occasionally revisit good old 2142. I fell in love with it so much that I asked him what game it was, and if I could try and play it on his computer. Being the man that he is, he allowed me to play without my mother knowing for a solid hour. I soaked it all in. The maps; Suez canal and Verdun were the ones I played that night. I can remember I was frightened to my core. From the moment I deployed onto the field with just the basic assault rifle, to the time I heard the gigantic Mech coming around the corner and blasting my corpse into the air. Today, I'm still rocking with BF4, and even play offline 2142 for the memories. Remember, you don't know what you have until it's gone. For me, that was the exciting thrill of playing battlefield for the first time. A memory I will hold and cherish in my heart as long as I'm alive.

Battlefield Theme Tier List, arbitrarily scored by me: 0:00 - BF 1942 Intro: A good first entry into the BF series, though by today's standards, feels somewhat bland. I give it an honorable place in C-tier. 02:38 - Battlefield 1942: Similar to 1942, but slightly better sounding, though probably loops a bit too much. Is it enough for B-tier? Ehh... I dunno, but I'm reluctantly putting it up there. 06:47 - Battlefield 2: The battle ambiance and shouts in the background really make this theme pop, and sounds more restrained in a kinda-good kinda-bad way. I like it, but the lack of a climax or crescendo keeps it down at a high B instead of an A. 09:02 - Battlefield 2142: Those trumpets or trombone-sounding thingies make this unmistakably sci-fi. It reflects the game's setting well and is otherwise an excellent score. The subtle vocals also make it sound all the more epic. An excellent A-tier. 12:21 - Battlefield Bad Company: I think this theme is a hot take for the BF series with the total lack of a brass section, but I'm okay with that. The game, and its theme was a break from tradition for Battlefield, but isn't entirely perfect. I like it, but it's not the best. A respectable C-tier, but maybe a good B-tier, depending on the day. 13:40 - Battlefield 1943: An amazing rendition with a perfect balance between the brass, strings, and sick drums. Truly legendary version. A true A-tier. 17:52 - Battlefield Bad Company 2: Bruh it's literally just BC1 just looped a bit longer. D-tier for the lack of anything new whatsoever. 19:09 - Battlefield Play4Free: Bland with only like one instrument and some crappy drums. There's like zero point to this theme or this game. Depending on how generous I'm feeling this is either a low D or high F-tier. 20:24 - Battlefield 3: Those gritty synths and funky beats give this one real identity. That static at the end is guaranteed to give me goosebumps every time. Great game (from what I've heard never played it) with a great theme. A-tier. 22:16 - Battlefield 4: The beat dropped harder than my K/D ratio. I think the lead could be a bit louder, but that's just me. A-tier. 24:52 - Battlefield 1: Very heroic sounding, only to abruptly shift to a dark and morbid tone, perfectly fitting for the First World War. The unorthodox instruments work amazingly, though it kind of lacks that "DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN DUN" we all know and love. Great cinematic theme, but somewhat lacking in something. A respectable entry in B-tier. 28:07 - Battlefield 1 (Something Big is Coming): Beefier version of the OG BF1 theme. Overall more epic and punchier. Makes me want to do a bayonet charge and fail miserably as my target takes one step to the left. Very close to A-tier, but reluctantly B-tier. 30:17 - Battlefield V: Starts out kinda eh, but then the beat drops and you're like "Oh yeah, this is Battlefield." A good effort, but somehow I don't feel like the trumpets or drums work very well. It keeps stopping with the "DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN DUN" and doing some original scores, but we're not here for original scores; we want to hear the same thing over and over again, just different. A somewhat disappointing C-tier. 33:49 - Battlefield V (Wake Island): Now THIS is officially a banger! Never before have vocals and war drums been used in such an epic way. Spectacular theme for a game that should have been better at launch. Absolutely S-tier, no questions asked! Just be sure to pause before the next BF theme starts... 36:43 - Battlefield 2042: My ears are bleeding listening to this. Did they like autotune an angle grinder? I mean, the beat drop is kind of okay if you turn the volume down to the threshold of hearing. I get that it sounds so glitchy because of an information blackout or whatever, but I don't think that nearly justifies this personal attack on my hearing. Come on Dice, you can do better than this! Abject failure with lowest spot on F tier.

It's a good example of a great idea with somewhat poor execution. I believe they could have exhibited these ideas better, but they didn't want to song to feel glorious because this was not a glorious war. In fact this song acts somewhat as a sequel to the "story" told by BF3 and BF4. The classic war theme, present with electronic noise and interruption, containing, but burying the classic theme further and further, because the world, and war, is changing. Unfortunately the gameplay does very little to share the emotion of the lore and the theme.

I love how similar 0:44-0:50 and 37:02-37:07 sounds. When I heard Bf2042 soundtrack for the first time I thought about boats in that part for some reason :D well in Bf1942 intro at that part there is US carrier and few other ships sailing away. Also at part 38:19 forward it gets some of those Battlefield 2 menu vibes for some reason :D and you can hear soldier screaming at 38:26 Overall as I said about Battlefield V’s soundtrack, I do think Hildur made especially good job combining all kind of elements from each Battelfield soundtrack. Something about these disturbed almost industrialized sounds just fit the Battlefield with the basic simple beat we know even by writing du-du du-du-du-du-dum. Getting so much 1942, Bad Company 2, Bf3 vibes from 2042’s soundtrack and I love it! Been playing Battlefield games since Battlefield 1942 so I will have a lot of fun with the portal mode!
