Mass Effect 3 - The Fleets Arrive - Alternate Soundtrack ("Suicide Mission")

When you saved the Rachni, had all squad member loyalty, nobody died on the collector base, cured the genophage, allied the Quarians and the Geth ending a war three hundred years in the making, saved your Virmire squadmate, go into the final battle with maxed out war assets, and brought the entire galaxy's fleets to Earth to exterminate some overenthusiastic galactic Roombas:

[@caleg2256]

Just finished the Legendary Edition. Used Spotify to play Suicide Mission in the background while fighting on Earth. It really ads a good atmosphere to those final battles against Reaper ground troops. Also it feels like the real suicide mission to me.

[@-SaKage]

They REALLY should have done two things different except from the ending: 1. Adept Suicide Mission Soundtrack for that scene 2. Let Shepard hold this speech... I mean: Shepard leads the united fleets and except from the humans, they are not there because of earth or because of Hackett; they are there because of Shepard, HE is the one who always did, what other people said was impossible: HE defeated the harbinger, HE defeated the Collectors, HE defeated the Heretics, HE brought together Geth and Quarians (at least for some people :D ) So it is obvious, that if anyone, HE is the one, who will defeat the Reapers

[@hamburgerhelpers3896]

He defeated sovereign

[@drlukas4242]

Yeah when I first saw this scene I thought that it would be way cooler for Shepard to tell the speech.

[@yol_n]

He did command the forces. I think they put hackett because he's alliance

[@Sc2mapper117]

It's hard to beat the ME2 suicide mission soundtrack. This is much more epic. THe original had no music during the fight for some reason :P

[@rebel1717]

I loved this edit! It’s also poetic as well. It made me cheer for Shepard and team when they were taking on the collectors alone. Now this music is making me cheer for the entire galaxy facing the reapers! Kinda poetic to me.

[@hunter17835]

Well, it's official, this is the better version of this scene. I love the soundtrack here, it works even better than it did initially.

[@lokibau]

i prefer the original song, this fanfare kills the tone of "the last battle of our species - we face extinction" thing.

[@chadedwards3676]

this soundtrack is way worse here

[@rebel1717]

lokibau I dunno, I think it’s really fitting! In ME2, this song was played when Shepard and his crew faced the Collectors alone. I find it poetic that the same song is played when every species unites to face the Reapers!

[@timblake1989]

The original was EPIC, this is definitely worse. Completely takes the elation out of what you're seeing happen

[@kuronyra1709]

@@timblake1989 Not really, not only does that music fit because of it's name "Suicide Mission", the whole fleet against the Reapers IS a suicide mission in itself. The litteraly balance of the galaxy hang into a goal. Open the citadel and make the Crucible work. It also elevate the fact that despite the danger, all the species of the Galaxy are fighting for there litteral existence. For a space opera such as Mass Effect, you can't hardly go better than this music who both give impact to the scene with it's slow rythme. But also make the whole battle the culmination of everything that the players went trought since landing on Eden Prime back in ME1.

[@spartansteve1099]

Ill never forget you mass effect. the 1 game in the world that has touched my mind and heart so deep. Story,Lore.Relationships and more. we will not forget.

[@thatbloomer5642]

A true manifestation of the "it's us or them" speech from ME2.

[@BringDownTheSky2186]

Oh my God. I MUST HAVE THIS AS A MOD. I was so disappointed that the SM was not in 3 at all, and I think it fits here better than what's actually there.

[@rebel1717]

It’s definitely so amazing to listen to. But it’s also poetic in a way. This music was played when Shepard and his crew faced the collectors. Now it’s playing when the entire galaxy charges towards the Reapers! So many reasons why this is the greatest music edit ever!!!

[@Pliskkenn]

Do you know what I thought was a missed trick here. Quarian Fleet reporting, Geth Fleet reporting. Would have been nice to see them fly together.

[@jamesalexander1441]

3:00 in their trillion year + esistence, this was definitely the Reapers first "Oh shit!" moment.

[@alphazerg4587]

Definitely not. This was more of a, "Ah, good. The mortals have made it easy for us and brought everything to the slaughter, rather than forcing us to root them out."

[@turnt98]

@@alphazerg4587 couldn't have said it better myself, the reapers would have curbstomped us if it wasn't for the crucible

[@MASTERFOXZ]

Holy shit, this goes well with the cutscene! I think it's even better than the original.

[@solinvictus4367]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the sound effects Bioware did for the jumping in and the cannons. Sound like there is real weight behind those shots

[@DreddPirateRoberts]

Damn, it actually fits pretty damned good! Bravo! The title of the track fits the circumstances quite, but the music itself would fit even better if we wiped them out in orbit, IMO.

[@rebel1717]

Definitely works both ways!

[@jamesalexander1441]

It’s even more powerful knowing that, even at the highest level of force you can bring to bear against the Reapers that vast vast vast majority of the fleet is obliterated. And still, they walked together into the mouth of hell.

[@Spectre1301]

This music fits so much better in this scene than the original music. I wonder if someone tried create a mod that makes this music play in the actual game.

[@kalanara8633]

It give me chills with this suicide soundtrack, it make it more epic.

[@dars5229]

"Today the Reapers will learn that the galaxy has declared we will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. We’re going to live on. We’re going to survive. Today we celebrate our Interdependence Day!" - President Shepard

[@cobbler9113]

While I do think the soundtrack when the fleet itself arrives should stay, they could have added this to areas of the cutscene like when the fighters come in to attack the Reapers. Seeing the fighters, Earth and the Reapers in between them with the suicide mission soundtrack definitely works better than the silence that the game gave us.

[@Don-ol8ze]

Man, I have tremendous respect for the Battle of Endor (still takes my #1 space-battle spot), but if they ever did a film worthy of the game, with the proper build up this scene on the big screen would blow Star Wars out of the running.

[@fredtes3e937]

Man, just speechless basically. I'm conflicted whether this was the version that was supposed to be in the actual 3rd game it's that good.

[@Zebiekistis]

This plays in my head when my Stellaris empire attacks a equivalent Fallen Empire.

[@gruntzilla8]

I just did that last night. And this is immediately what I thought of. Is that bad? They outmatched me by 20k, but I had just gotten the ascendancy perk of dealing 33% more damage to fallen empires. It was a good battle. I won :D

[@Liam-Scott]

Get the Mass Effect soundtrack mod and you can actually play it when battling awakened empires.

[@manuelhausmann6422]

HOLY SHIT. THIS VERSION IS PERFECTION. THANKS BY THE GODDESS. 👊👊👊👊 YOU MADE MY DAY

[@rebel1717]

I love the original music, but this is just so poetic to me! Only Shepard and the Normandy went to face the Collectors, now the species and their fleets are charging toward the Reapers! The suicide mission music made me cheer for Shepard and his crew, but the same song used here? It makes me cheer for everyone! The impact is so much more powerful here!

[@MegaTech81]

I can't wait to relive this journey remastered

[@Dragonmots]

I was just grinning the entire time because it's SO EPIC!!!

[@rebel1717]

No arguments here! Can listen to it for YEARS and never put my smile down!

[@esmac1550]

It fits too well for this to be a coincidence. They surely intended to use this song but then changed their minds late on for some reason.

[@TheUnknown285]

Just when I thought this scene couldn't get anymore epic.

[@SJDSt]

Twelve years has passed and this is the most epic fleet assemble in the whole history of gaming. The score from ME2 was a magic touch.

[@Speransky_]

Друг: Сколько раз ты это посмотрел Я: невозмутимо с легкой гордостью-Достаточно

[@robwendorf4878]

They should’ve used this track in the final cut for ME3

[@yulaw5110]

Dam , I think I may have fugged up the original version for myself now, this is so much better it matches perfectly

[@WolffeMeisterGaming]

Bit more of a suicide mission than that in Mass Effect 2 in my opinion. Bloody good job as well.

[@Cuheru]

While I am not certain how I feel about some portions of it, I damn sure loved that awesome segment(my favorite from this track) linked to the fleets arriving :D I really was surprised to not see any sort of callback to this track throughout the game. Usually most games that are a part of a series hide tidbits and patterns from previous soundtracks in the current one, either as a whole or buried as a piece of a new track. Take the 'One they Fear' track from skyrim, in it you can hear a more rapid paced portion of oblivion's 'Reign of the Septims' theme.

[@Cuheru]

+Cuheru Scratch that, after another couple playthroughs, am now completely sold on this incredibly awesome idea :D

[@spartansteve1099]

This should of been the background song for this part of ME 3. 5.00 to 5.18 blends so well with Normandy charging

[@evanboll4651]

I just can't get over some of the Reapers who appear to be just sitting there like "WTF is happening?!" while others are firing at the Shepard Effect Fleet.

[@kingofmonsters14]

you're right, it does work well. the timing was epicly perfect.

[@Vert3421]

4:53 When the dev make the best shot :p

[@MovieVP]

I just recorded this scene without music and added the soundtrack in Sony Vegas. I didn't really imported the soundtrack into the game.

[@juanindj]

Dude, you created the most epic scene in the audiovisual history...

[@Splitmatter]

It's weird, it doesn't really match the moment as much as The Fleets Arrive does, but maybe I'd say that the other way around if this had been here originally. IDK. Its like... too epic for just the warp-in of the Fleet. Good video and share though so I'll give it a like.

[@deathstar9126]

A united galaxy coming together to face certain death against a race of ancient machine gods is pretty epic in my book.

[@NocturnalAnimations101]

By far the best scene to ever exist in a game

[@16Vagabond]

Is it weird that I tear up watching this? Chills all over.

[@Tahkaullus01]

Excuse me I just need to go post this on EA's blog. THIS is how you go out in a blaze of glory. Only one misstep: Destiny Ascension shoulda been there too.

[@yanava]

I know what you mean about the whining and I agree to a large extent about people overreacting about it. I'm just baffled by the lack of climax on the final mission, except for two or three endurance rounds with reaper ground troops. If they had all the trouble exposing reaper motivations and reasoning, why not have the final fight inside one? I found the Derelict Reaper mission one of the best ones of all trilogy and I'd love to know the innards of an actual reaper.

[@ash356]

That's epic! Nice one :D If you ask me, that fleet could probably destroy the reapers without the crucible... especially if they had that in the background :')

[@rebel1717]

They’d have definitely taken a shit load of Reapers down with them, but I’m gonna have to be “that guy” and remind you that it was stated multiple times in the game that the galaxy’s united fleet would not nearly be enough to stop the Reapers. (Will never deny the music though!🤩😭)

[@ash356]

@@rebel1717 True haha. I think my ideal ending would have been one where 'refuse/shooting the kid' was actually a valid option in the crucible and the outcome was determined by your galactic readiness, but yeah, it was made pretty clear we stood no chance. Also, crazy to think my original comment is 9 years old and I'm about to replay this scene on the remaster!

[@semihbozkurt1037]

It is so much better than the real scene's music. Great job dude. Mass effect is the best game ever

[@thefiresworddragon927]

Mass Effect 3's ending was an ending that no one wanted to accept cause they still wanted to continue their adventure. Never let it end. No one can blame them for that. But all things come to an end. And Mass Effect 3 did it right. You just had to spend the time to progress through the entire trilogy to get the ending YOU want to remember.

[@yoruemiya9196]

I did want to continue but all great adventures have to have a beginning and a end no matter how much we may want it to go on forever

[@Keransi]

I'mma comment again since it's been awhile since I did. This video NEEDS more views! People! Spread the word of this KZbinr's awesomeness!

[@DominionWolf]

I have one thing to say, this is to all you Reaper folk: When 10+ alien races each send their entire naval fleet to come take you down, and an epic song starts to play as they open fire on you... YOU FUCKED UP SOMEWHERE. :P

[@writergarrett]

After the vast improvements of the Extended Cut, I'm seriously tired of all the whining about the ending. But I'm forced to admit that your proposal sounds like the best alternative end mission I've heard.

[@brokeneveningsunset9098]

[@mariuszkochanski]

Suicide Mission It's reserved for Mass Effect 2 and let's keep it that way. The music in Me3 in this battle is just as sensational and definitely better suited to the circumstances of the events.

[@danieljohnlevy]

Goosebumps much?

[@BigBoss-gb4cx]

IMO this was the most epic gaming scene Ive ever seen. You can say bad about ME3, but after playing ME2 and ME3, and "worked" 50-100 hours to bring together the fleet this scene is something that no other could come close.

[@nix8488]

This is the USS Enterprise and Voyager reporting, heard you had a reaper problem!!! lol jk i had to! Seen another post on a video of this battle with all of the games that involve spaceships doing a reporting thing lol it was just to funny but for real though this battle seen with "the best" seen and this music is just to unreal it couldnt get any better than this!

[@davidedipaolo8640]

How the fuck can you drop a masterpice like this not putting it into your next game? I REALLY HOPE this Gem will be present in ME4.

[@infoluminux]

+Davide Di Paolo I love suicide mission, but it would make no sense to add it on the next game since the track itself was made to portray the bond between Shepard and his crew. And on the next game will be no shepard, nor the same crew. It's like on star wars: the imperial march is a beloved theme, but it didn't appeared on the force awakens because there is no more empire, nor vader.

For a single moment. As all races from across the galaxy enter the solar system to make their last stand. You can litteraly gear the thunder of a billion souls as they pass the relay. Won't be another game like this

[@Keransi]

I.. I'm sorry. This is what these scene should have had. If they'd have done this for ME3, maybe (BIG MAYBE) some minor alterations to the notes to make it match the scene more exactly, it would've gone down as the moment in the game that reviewers would've called: "The Suicide Mission's theme's triumphant reprisal." But no, they did not, such a lack of sheer musical epicness was but one crack in the flawed ending for the amazing series and universe that is Mass Effect. You sir, do ME3 justice.

[@jordanscherr6699]

How could they fuck up this ending so badly. Just have the normandy land on harbinger. Have 2 teams, one @ the ground with you controlling some other character, and the main team with sheppard on harbinger. Make the final fight on both places. After the fight finishes inside harbinger, allow the player to make choices inside harbinger's structure (control vs. destroy anyone?). You could still have several different endings depending on how many fleets you brought in. Damn you Bioware!
