Musically speaking, here is how I would describe each DLC: They Shall Not Pass was the desperation for victory. In The Name of the Tsar was Russian glory. Turning Tides-Gallipoli had a cultural, Turkish vibe while the North Sea conveyed the sense of pride and honour some felt with serving. Apocalypse is pure horror. By far my favourite, and I loved the other soundtracks.
This song really portrays the Somme as the bloodiest battle the world had seen up until then, and just how far war could go. It would take genocide and terror to top those casualties, in World War II.
Melon Lord What's crazy to me (but also comforting) is the fact that no battle since 1916 has had casualty numbers like Somme, Verdun, or the Brusilov Offensive.
It's a shame there was never a true operation to accompany this music... The music in operations often lasted longer and atmosphere and game-play really fit the idea of an all-out war.
I wish we got the 3 battles of Ypres rather than just Paschendaele. Ypres was the best representation of the war. It went from slow grinding marches towards the cities into prolonged trench battles that resulted in gas warfare for the first time in human history into a literal hellscape of bloody mud, poisoned puddles and broken and dismembered body parts. Would have been so fun to be able to have the first battle with artillery, second battle with Livens Projectors and the last battle just be a disgusting slog through hell where not even tanks can get through
High Noon True, i thought the French soundtracks were more desperation oriented (while being epic). Apocalypse, however, feels like pure horror and helplessness, with no aim but to survive and reach whatever objective exists if there even is one.
Hearing 5:20 is so satisfying after winning as the British Empire on the Battle Of The Somme. I'm just happy that Dice added the Battle Of The Somme since it is important to the UK and British history.
Well according to EA it’s the First day at somme when the British tried to break the german line they suffered heavy casualties (19.000 deaths in just 1 day)
I get a picture of soldiers fighting with melee weapons and bare hands, and some other soldiers are alone like sole survivors hunting eachother like wild animals in a foggy rainy battlefield. While others are hiding in fear and anxiety of constant sounds of hammering artillerys, gunfires, screaming of angry or dying soldiers.
The way it just ends disappointingly at 5:18, then sounds like planning and preparing for the next battle at 5:25 shows how much of a meatgrinder ww1 was
Yeah it always gave me that vibe of basically nothing of consequence being achieved, that your teams intense struggle was just another one in the pointless battles in the stalemate across the western front.
I feel that they should have gotten Sean Murray to do the soundtrack he's really good at dark, intense music, like imagine this song: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LPGSW0xZ-0U.html at the end of a match in Passchendaele.
*Just imagine the gas creeping around your feet the German soldiers charging towards you bombs exploding people choking in the gas people laying on the floor struggling to live fear and death is a common thing in war you are in the middle of a firefight with the Dead the dying and the broken wrecks of tanks and cars* well it's your lunch break get out of here!
Coolest end of the round soundtrack ever. And I like the background. I like how for the British soldier it shows mostly cloudy sky and when it cuts off to the German there is straight hell. But mostly I like the part when it cuts to German soldier (3:35).
Notice how in Apocalypse the music when the round has ended is not heroic or otherwise optimistic like everywhere else. *_No, it tells you instead that everything's far from over._*
I like it but it’s kind of forgettable, for me at least this doesn’t have much an impact like In the name of Tsar’s end of round themes. I’m no audiophile so I can’t describe how I feel about this.
3000marco1 The other ones felt very heroic to me, while this one as the name says is very apocalyptic. It sounds like you are fighting to stay alive rather than a country.
3000marco1 Personally, i think that the track seems unorganised, forgettable and convoluted to suit and convey the apocalyptic/chaotic theme of the music, and thus, makes more sense to me. At least that's what i interpreted.
Thank you for this. Idk if you take requests, but could you re-upload this loading theme and possibly extend it- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ra7LU5rpALs.html , this is the only theme on RU-vid. Thanks.
