Modern Warfare 2 soundtrack in the works, Zimmer says

by Ben Gilbert on Jan 5th 2010 1:27PM

Sure, Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer mode has already sucked you in, but just imagine what would happen if you added an invigorating soundtrack to all those bullet-soaked moments? Well, guess what: The game's soundtrack composer, Hans Zimmer, recently indicated in a Facebook note that the "soundtrack album is in the works."

That's right -- soon you'll be able to take the orchestrated drama from the single-player campaign and import it into a looping death march beat. But hey, at least your folks will be glad you're listening to classical music, right?

One of the best parts of the game. I'll actually buy this.

Just don't listen to in a Russian airport

GRANADA!!!

Changing mag!
Cover me, I'm reloading.
Our UAV is online.

These are all permanantly imprinted in my brain.

Isn't it our UAV is airborne?

I always say things in the voice of Mister Killtacular.

Double Kill!
Triple Kill!
Killing Spree!

Slaz, in CoD4 it was "Our UAV is online!". May have changed in MW2.

Nah, pretty sure its "UAV Online"

Might've been the enemies UAV is airborne, not our, but I don't really remember.

my personal fave:

"You're the last one left, get to it marine"

followed by:

"Nice Work, Get ready for the next round"

@Slaziman: It changes depending on what team you are on.

I kind of like to hear footsteps from my opponents over a dramatic crescendo. Just me though...

In FPS games, I always turn down/off the music. It's fine in cut scenes, but while playing, I don't need music to tell me that this is the suspenseful part, just like I don't need a laugh track in TV to tell me when to laugh.

ODST and MW2 don't have a music option and it bugged the hell out of me that I couldn't do anything about it.

MW1 I play on my PC and at least in multi I am able to remove the annoying pressure music.

The music in both ODST and MW2 is awesome, so why are you complaining?

To each his own. While awesome to you, I found it over the top, brash, unnecessary and annoying, however the quality of the soundtrack is not the issue.

In first person games, where player immersion is more easily attainable, why force a movie style soundtrack on the player?

I simply want the option to make the game more immersive, by not listening to it.

I never even notice the music in games like this.

Mike Whiskey Two Oscar Sierra Tango Charlie Delta: Oscar Mike.

......I hope somebody gets that.

MWT(2) OST CD OM ? o.O

i didnt want to post until i absolutely had it because some1 else is gonna finish it and feel smart.. but whatever:

Modern Warfare 2 Orchestrated Sountrack TCD: On the move....

cant figure out the TCD

Modern Warfare 2 Orchestrated Soundtrack The CD: On The Movie

woops!

Modern Warfare 2 Orchestrated Soundtrack The CD: On The Move*

MW2 Original SoundTrack CD on the move.

(OST = Original Soundtrack)

"Atirando granada di luiz!"

Can't get that out of my head, damnit.

Pretty sure Zimmer gets most of this money...

I wasn't aware that the 5 hour campaign even had a soundtrack...

MW2 has music?

I didn't think much of the soundtrack personally. I mean it was okay, but it just came off as a bunch of tracks they had leftover and didn't use in The Rock.

Felt kinda redundant and phoned in.

And all Hans Zimmer had to do with it were the main themes.

Since we're posting links, Bobby...

Those of us who consider the PS3 our system of choice won't be able to play the music while in game, unfortunately.

When is Cross game music capability coming? When?

I think that's been rumored for a while. Probably come around with the Cross Game Chat update.

Uhh... We have in-game music

Probably around the same time when Sony introduces their PSN premium plan.

We. Have. In-game. Music.

It does?

I've never used it, so I guess I wouldn't know, but...

Yes, but just like YouTube uploading it's up to the devs to put it in. A large amount of games supports it though. All the pixeljunk games, warhawk, KZ2, MW2 (I
think), most PSN games, just off the top of my head.

You mean like playing your own albums from your HDD when playing a game? Yeah, its already there. Just tap the PS button and select it (what you have on your HDD). However not many games support it, last I checked only a few exclusive titles supported it. I would think more titles would support it since it was released about 1 or two years ago (was released with ingame XMB update) but since Sony didn't make it mandatory like Trophies I guess none of the devs really cared.

On the PS3 music cuts out if you try nearly any option on the dashboard. The only one that doesn't cut off your music is really the browser.

EVEN the trophy screen cuts the music.

Why would you wanted to play music in-game? In MW2, sound is one of the most critical elements to playing well. It'd be hard to hear someone's footsteps as their creeping up behind you if you were jamming to this soundtrack

216, in all (as far as I know) games it just replaces the games music, the sound effects stay in tact.

I already have the soundtrack.

Steam/steamapps/common/call of duty modern warfare 2/main

Folders 19-21 for music. Open with IZArc or adaptive compressed file archive viewer of your choice. MP3 format.

While we're at it.

The end credits song on the first modern warfare was awesome.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D-iQGnJ5f0

Still love that song.

I liked the MW2 music, and I've always liked Battlefield's five-beat theme. Come to think of it, did they ever release a compilation of the older Battlefield games' music?

woops!

Modern Warfare 2 Orchestrated Soundtrack The CD: On The Move*

This is a no brainer for me considering my obsession with video game soundtracks. Bring it!

Me too. Final Fantasy, Mass Effect, Halo, it's all good.

I just downloaded Braid's a while back.

http://braid-game.com/news/?p=260

I torrented this like 3 weeks ago. Came with all the pieces of music, suspense cuts and everything.

The soundtrack is longer than the game
