[@Bos187]

how to play a triangle in a rock song, and not only get that combination to work, but actually make it essential to the song's quality. Mr Arkenstone, you are a genius

[@onyxb294]

That triangle going in hard af.

[@lorddiablo325]

And still sounds like the hardest triangle

[@acbeaumo]

I'm just imagining some solitary member of a heavy metal band playing the absolute shit out a triangle.

[@LegendaryPhenom]

If only westwood would release the game after Yuri's Revenge, Ra2 success was so huge it overshadowed this game, Battle for dune is so underrated it's a fucking crime. This track is freaking awesome, kinda sad too.

[@Myl1fe4aiur]

+Roman Pankov also dont forget warcraft 3, which was released next year

[@lizardking1096]

People just dont know.

[@700gsteak]

Westwood never cared about Dune. They didn't want Dune to be big. The whole reason why they came out with C&C and RA was so they didn't have to pay for somebody elses IP.

[@brunolins3859]

so true

[@ameerm4899]

The game mechanics of Emperor Battle for dune were grossly different from Dune 2000 and Dune 2. I guess that led to its lacklustre performance

[@sajukkhar2]

This music feels like you have no way out, and you struggle and trying do you best, truly inspired by the Harkonnen's brutal, cruel and inevitable in victory! Hail to great David Arkenstone

[@LegendKingY2j]

yeah hence the title name "surrounded"

[@catscrath25alpha83]

Long live the Baron!

[@edcampbell310]

Yes, I get that feeling too. THE Realization you are surrounded by the enemy, but prepare for one final battle none the less! For House Harkonnen!

[@CyrusOfNaias]

I've never played this game, but this soundtrack evokes some powerful images. You can tell when a composer really loves his work, and pours himself into it. It's magical.

[@CybranLord]

The Best OST of the game in my opinion. The Harkonnen OST is really good and the best for me.

[@GM6linx]

The Harkonnen do not bother with repairs, they fight TO THE DEATH! For the Baron!

[@Dakathi66]

AGREED! Long live BARON GUNSENG!

When I hear this song, I genuinely feel bitter and betrayed

[@ELMITLON]

A common day for a Harkonnen! Always watching their back and planning the next plot

[@caseb9583]

Sadly these recordings are less than CD quality. It's not the uploaders fault. For some reason Westwood/EA never officially released the whole album in high quality format. You can really tell with the cymbals, the high end is missing here. Arkenstone probably has the master files somewhere for this music. He should re-release it in better quality.

[@Dakathi66]

House Harkonnen had the best music.

[@markjackson7650]

Harkonnen had the best everything. Especially their unit quotes. One long list of badassery.

[@jangozubr]

Sure it is the best one cause of Frank Klepacki magic.

@@jangozubr House Harkonnen OST was composed by David Arkenstone iirc. Klepacki was in charge of the Atreides.

Anyone who loves dune we must bring this game back!

[@grey7136]

Operators of devastators talk very LOUD becouse they are deaf. Devastator - is a moving nuclear facility .. basicly;)

[@KirovAirshipAbove]

IMO there 2 general drawbacks of the Harkonen in this game: 1 Lack of APCs 2 Lack of really awesome bombardment units. I mean catapult is useless against moving targets and missile tank is good, but really slow to reload, has weak armor, it's missiles can't do radius damage. Although it's the only artillery unit which can target air units.

[@kbsl111111]

artilleries are for the weak. Harkonen general only want toe to toe heavy armor tanks, more tanks.

[@Kira121086]

Technically, missile tanks aren't counted as artillery units. IIRC, they were outranged by quite a few units. Plus they didn't fire immediately.

[@zephyr8072]

The answer to these issues as well as any others with the Harkonnen setup is: Nuclear tanks.

[@Kira121086]

If only they used the Emperor: Battle for Dune songs in the new Dune movie...

[@richardalvarez2390]

They kind of did, if you notice some of the desert tracks of Dune Part 1, sound like some of the Atreides tracks. Watch the movie again and you'll notice

[@parddz]

stupid EA just had to ruin Westwood

the soundtrack of the 2021 movie is boring garbage that doesn't convey that space epic like this game

[@srbrant5391]

Oh come on, it's epic. PS: Dumbland for the win.

[@nathankuszewski4579]

@@srbrant5391 I was dissapointed with it in that regard. I couldnt recall much after leaving the theater. Listening to it on its own there are some parts i like, but it feels very "Backgroundy."

[@richardalvarez2390]

The music of the new movie resembles that of Atreides on Battle for Dune. So I think the music was quiet on mark. It doesn't make sense to use a track that is too distracting. It has to be cinematic
