2:08 Pov: the fire tornados start coming down, 500 didnt kill the bile titan you were aiming for, and it woke up two more of its friends

[@johnettipio]

now you have to throw reinforcements at it

[@shitoryu8]

The sense of scale and dread you feel as the waves of enormous insects come over the hill towards you perfectly encapsulated.

[@brotherericus]

This is exactly what I see in my mind when I listen to this score. The relentless drumming from the percussion section always in the background like the bug patrol just beyond the next ridge or dune accentuated by those long, sustained notes on the strings reminding you that you're never completely safe. I can't believe it's coincidental that the composer arranged the string section to sound this frantic, as though it's just flowing and crashing upon itself the way a swarm of the bugs will wash over the ground towards you like an unstoppable wave of death and carnage

[@ScopeOperaSam]

I often find myself laughing maniacally along with my character-- both out of bloodlust as my MG sprays lead into the endless waves of grubs swarming me, and out of the sheer terror that this music manages to make me feel in response to the idea of "what if I was actually there". It makes me laugh everytime it almost feels out of character for me, but I know deep down it ain't. 😂😂

[@user-wd7ni8vj1q]

"Bug tunnel breach!"

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

I like the juxtaposition between the Terminid and Automaton combat music. This sounds like what you'd hear in a monster movie during a chase scene or something. Automaton music meanwhile sounds like it came straight out of a war film.

[@KissMy2Moons]

And the illuminate sounds like a horror alien film.

[@aircraftcarrierwo-class]

@@KissMy2Moons I haven't heard their music yet, looking forward to it!

[@rayguym33]

@@aircraftcarrierwo-class especially the part that plays at 1:17 reminds of an intense chase scene from a movie

[@iguanobro9925]

For me, it feels like you’re in Starship Troopers

[@BillyJoshuaGoat]

​@@iguanobro9925It's very similar to "Bugs" from the Starship Troopers soundtrack. Obviously a homage.

LAST RELOAD!!!!

[@bjuricek23]

The first minute is perfect. It's like you just saw them overwhelm and eat a base from a distance. Then, you step on a twig, they look at you up the hill, and you're like "OH GOD they won't let me out of here without doing the objective. Wh-where TF is that again?!" As you start 40 minutes of your hardest cardio and most deep shoulder pain.

[@comradekarlvonschnitzelste8218]

Automaton OST: Warfare with an intense, sci-fi machine intelligence Bugs: *indiana jones vibes*

[@chimichangazthestupidone7397]

When you think you got the first bile titan covered until some bug calls in another tunnel breach and then another bile titan comes up

[@thefirstofthelastones8952]

Helldiver #1: Uh-oh. Helldiver #2: Don't tell us. Multiple bug tunnel breaches are happening around us? Helldiver #1: Yep Helldiver #3: And our destroyer just left orbit meaning we can't call in anymore stratagems? Helldiver #1: Most likely. Helldiver #4: Bring it on.

[@kyle1411]

Bile Titan! Charger! Wait- another Charger! And- Sweet Liberty, another Bile Titan! And a swarm of hunters! And another Charger! AAAAHHHH

[@Tac6497]

Hearing this play and not seeing a single bug around, then realizing EXACTLY what's coming for you 😳

[@legitbetterthanvinny9725]

When two double stalker nests and a spore spewer spawn right next to each other as soon as you drop

[@fah6k820]

2:08 was my “OH FUCK ITS COMING FOR ME” when I’ve first fought a bile Titan

[@Commander_Appo]

It kinda reminds me of Flight of the Bumblebee in some parts

[@Broomer52]

That’s actually what it is. It’s a Flight of the Bumblebee with some thriller flair added onto it

[@projectsixam1579]

1:42 to 1:54 sounds like a movie scene where things transition from "We're being overrun!" bad to "Oh SHIT they have GIANT ones?!" worse.

[@purplefanta7142]

The game is 1000% made to feel like a movie playing out. I love it.

[@xxiSHTAr9000x]

I once played a defense mission against the bugs on Erata Prime, our first line didn’t hold forever, so we had to fall back to the second, our retreat covered by cluster and EMS strikes. We had two HMG emplacements spilling shells as fast as fast as they were spilling blood upon the sands. Were it not for the three chargers that lead the breaching party, we’d have rebuilt the gate with the chewed carcasses strewn about. After what seemed like a timeless orchestra of roaring guns and shrieking roaches, our ship had touched down for us, nearly saving us from their fury. It was our chariot back to home base. Another day on the job.

[@mnil0231]

Does this give anyone else Jurassic Park vibes or just me??

[@MartianMan734]

Naa more star wars vibes

[@grievetan]

For me it feels like Batman movies

[@Positivethinking2]

Bile titan spotted 1:43

[@majortughjedi9813]

I couldve sworn the in game version sounds slightly different. Like there is a moment when the horns crescendo really loudly

[@christopherbean6802]

When a bile titan appears, the music becomes more intense. That's probably what you're thinking of.

[@majortughjedi9813]

@@christopherbean6802 its crazy because the theme Im thinking of actually isnt the bile titan theme( I say this because even on the lower difficulties Ive heard it). Imma have to record it the next time I drop on a big planet because I feel like Im crazy lmao

[@FrozenFish-fn5qd]

i know exactly what your talking about and im also trying to find that part

[@Captainjul]

Coming back to this, I've been trying to get my hands on the audio files from someone experienced but I've had no luck. Since I own the PS5 version of the game, I can't exactly do it myself. Would it be possible to share the music files with me somehow? I'd love to get my hands on these samples.

[@easternunit2009]

Yeah sure! Anything to help out push the sounds out on KZbin. The problem is the audio file names are scrambled. and there’s literally like 10,000 audio files.

[@Captainjul]

@easternunit2009 I work with audio libraries, so this sounds like so much fun! I make music myself, so I definitely would love to dive into this ocean of perfectly crafted music/sounds haha. What would be the best way to reach out to you/receive these audio files?

[@sarge4285]

Geez, the first games music sounded better tbh. I mean this kind of sounds like some star wars music compared to this [Helldivers 2015] OST kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4i5hn14iNNrhLcfeature=shared kzbin.info/www/bejne/rXiklYWCl7aeeZYfeature=shared

[@gavinfreenone6626]

While I don't think these sound bad, I've commissioned music creators on Fiverr and the quality of the old helldivers music sounds equivalent to that in terms of professionalism. I'm not saying it's bad, but the new music has clearly improved upon it. And considering starwars has some of the most memorable or even iconic themes across the world, you're actually giving the new music a compliment in quality. I feel like you just really really like the old game, which is cool. But it'd be wise to learn how to actually criticize things properly so you can get your point across in a understandable manner.
