Mass Effect 2 - Rescue Tali/Battle Music

This is the music I couldn't seem to find for the battles in Haestrom and the Collector battles. The awesomeness begins after around 2.30. If this is actually uploaded already somewhere, let me know with the name of it.

[@petrusion2827]

I hope we can get Quarian Badass like him in andromeda XD

[@Daioblis]

+Just Petrusion I hope people would get their heads on straight and realize what's already been said, and that is that Mass Effect Andromeda is gonna be in another galaxy.

[@petrusion2827]

***** I would like people like you to stop assuming something and spitting it out as a fact. Yes, It's going to be in a different galaxy, but with some old species. People from Milky Way got there using ship (probably named Arc). The fact that you are gonna play as a *HUMAN* might give it away a bit. You will also have a krogan squadmate (and more krogan since one of his mission's is gonna be to save krogan convoy). If KROGAN can get into Andromeda, I don't see why some quarians couldn't.

[@Daioblis]

+Just Petrusion I'm pretty sure you made up the krogan part. The human part, on the other hand, seems to be true. Either way, the game doesn't interest me.

[@goodgame2672]

Some After the mission when you're back aboard the quarian ship you have to decide on the evidence what you found about Tali's father. There is "Rally the crowd" option just pick it and see what will happen :)

thekaboominator1 Ha! My Shepard was more interested in saving life than avoiding hypocrisy. He took on his shoulders something that he knew only he could bear. Love is more beautiful than trying to establish your own righteousness.

[@NeonBornSpartan]

captainunload Damn, that last line in your comment was amazing. Thank you for moving me.

[@captainunload]

NeonBornSpartan You're welcome. It was inspired by Biblical Theology. Read the Gospel of John and the Epistle to the Romans. "You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life. I do not accept praise from men, but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts." -Jesus, from John 5

[@NeonBornSpartan]

captainunload That's where I thought I heard it from! Thanks! I was going to read through the Old/New Testament again this summer and ended up reading two other books lmao.

[@Tobbs96]

I adore the sense of urgency this piece inspires, especially at 2:36. I remember on my first ME2 playthrough, when I first got to Haestrom. Geth dropping from the sky as this was playing. I remember genuinely fearing for Tali's life, and fighting tooth and nail to get through the army of Geth between me and her. Music can be truly something magical. No way those kinds of feeling and that sense of emergency would have been possible without the impact of music.

[@juanlaise1059]

You can also hear it in the Suicide Mission, when you have to send one to the tubes. I sent Tali, so you can imagine how much I ran on that segment.

[@Nutellafuerst]

you just ( "just", 3 years ago) put my exact feelings into words. ME2 was my entry ibto the series, so I didnt even know yet I was about to meet one of my favorite fictional characters ever,but the sense of desperation in that final segment, this music while youre pushing forward completely outbumbered snd under tank fire. one of my greatest gaming moments ever, wish i could relive it, but after conpleting the game 5 times one is so good at it even insanity is a cakewalk.

[@RangerJackWalker]

+Drunken Solomon The music in Mass Effect 2 is not static. It's dynamic. The music depends on the situation. So when that Geth Prime dropped in, the music was scripted to change seamlessly. Even if you had waited before moving to where the Prime spawned, the music would have still played at that exact moment it spawned.

2:04 also plays when you first start infiltrating the collector base.

When this music started playing during the final assault on the collector base where you have to save Tali before she is burned alive, and that part at 2:35 played when I had mere seconds left to save her and I was charging through heavy fire from Collectors with an inch of my life left to save her was just too epic

[@RickDaily12]

I always made damn sure to have Ree'gar finish speaking to me just in time for 0:00 and 1:20 to play properly. Those 10 seconds of violin strumming are just adrenaline-inducing, as you realize you're in for one hell of a fight against a superior enemy. That transition at 1:30 for those 30 seconds of panic at sudden Geth Primes (at Rannoch), or Geth Destroyers (at Haestrom), is also heart pounding. I love these tracks, they never age, and always makes Haestrom worth looking forward to coming back to whenever I replay the trilogy.

Me: *Has shields dropped in 0.5 seconds by a whole pack of geth troopers, one rocket boi, and a destroyer surprising me from the left.* Me: *Spams biotic charge button only to see the cooldown still active.* Me: "FUUUUUUU-" Voice from off screen: "Watch the landing!" Jack: *Tosses the entire geth squad into the air with a single shockwave, staggering them and giving me enough time to get to cover.* Mass Effect squadmates are amazing.

If Jack can save you, you need to bump the difficulty up. She's supposed to flail uselessly then get killed.

One of the things I love about this game is that it shows just how easy it is for you to think you know more than you do.

[@Anthracyte]

You could be right, although this score did come up in Mass Effect 3 which was nice to hear. Mass Effect 2 was a hard act to follow though, certain parts like stepping into Afterlife on Omega and hearing that deep rhythmic bassline and soaking up the atmosphere were just unbelievable.

This was the best mission around next to the Geth Base. Something about fighting the Geth on this one made it interesting.

[@cball11]

This music and this mission seemed so desperate from the word go. The sun scorching you, your first encounter with the Geth since Saren makes you almost nostalgic despite how relentless they are, and you know Tali is in this mess SOMEwhere, just as close to death as the countless ravaged Quarians you step over to find her. And yet, That up there I just wrote is just par for the Mass Effect 2 course.

For me the best part clearly comes at 3:04 and is one of the most epic pieces of soundtrack in the entire trilogy. Whenever I'm re-playing the game I always rescue tali as early as possible to butcher geth along to this awesome track. There's something awesome about going up against geth primes with this song playing in the background and hearing grunt scream " I AM KROGANNNNNNNNNNNNN " The only other time I remember hearing this track was the final suicide mission and it only played briefly at the beginning when you're escorting the tech specialist. And that was an even better setting for this song.
