Kind of digging it, it's familiar but distorted and dark. Much like our future

Otamatone over fart noises is fine for the loading screen and initial menu, it captures the modern battlefield tone.

Is it I that is insane... or the rest of the world?
Oh god I just went through the soundtrack and got to the "Battlefield 2042" thinking it can't possibly that bad...

And then my ears started to bleed in the first few seconds already. What the gently caress did they do to the main theme?!

Oh nice, I've been looking for the musical equivalent of "we have purposely trained him wrong, as a joke".

This sounds horrible. Sampled the first 11 seconds and from 1:45 to 1:52 and it feels physically painful.

EDIT: Gave it another chance. I now have -- not exaggerating, for real -- a rather bad headache.

I don't understand why they had to return to a worse version of the BF3/BF4 era of music anyway. BF1 actually had really wonderful themes too. It doesn't have to stay orchestral like BF1, but that theme just isn't enjoyable in or out of any game in my opinion.

Hell, even BF3 theme is miles ahead of the new one and I may consider BF4's acceptable now.

They really are being quiet about the game so close to release. I don't really know what that means, but the marketing decisions are kinda weird. I would be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't end up delayed.

Says you. I drove to work this morning listening to Whirlwind from Shinobi 3.

In my mind I always consider Europe/the eastern world to be more civilized than us in the west but I cant get my head around their admiration for god drat EDM. Though I suppose :dice: would be Scandinavian wouldn't they? I dont really know which way they trend.

In short, all music for all BF games regardless of time period should be orchestral and no fart static

Conceptually I kinda appreciate what they're going for. It's an intentionally damaged and worn down version of the theme, mirroring the apocalyptic feel of the game's setting and creating a counterpoint to the triumphant feel of the original 1942 theme.

The trouble is that it's still a silly multiplayer shootmans game. I want it to feel triumphant and energetic. This could be a solid enough theme for a Spec-Ops type depressing story shooter, less so for a Battlefield game.

Honest question because I turn in game music off most of the time; how often does the main theme actually play in multiplayer matches?

Yes, enemy health/ammo packs and crates will heal/resupply the other team and correct, you can't revive elite classes but you can heal and resupply them.

It always blew my loving mind as an elite that I didn’t pretty much immediately pick up a medic and support sidekick. It’s ridiculous free points, and a healed and supplied elite was nigh-unstoppable. As a medic or support, I glued myself to any elite I saw (except maybe tank-hunters) until they died, but I very rarely got a counterpart to help out.

Cavalry can still be pretty good on certain conquest maps like ballroom blitz. I went 33-7 last night just camping the horse and spamming Ivermectin memes in chat.

Edit: and I never play cavalry. I actually just hit rank 1 after 400 hours played.

I think they nerfed the armor when you aren’t on the horse. I used to run through buildings double tapping people with the pistol and following up with the sword. Got accused of cheating a few times.

I think they also nerfed being able to refill your own grenades unfortunately.

I cant even imagine an x-0 round, I think I went 44-1 on propaganda once with a skilled tank driver (forget if I was the gunner or driver actually). But I'm always running around so recklessly, at best I'm basically the ewok who takes off on the bike who's sacrifice at least lets his allies pounce on the confused storm troopers

My highest kill x-0 round in any BF series was on a Metro server in BF3 using the pre-nerf MAV to roadkill people and ended up 93 and 0.

Highest legit was like 74-0 on the launch version of Monte Grappa operations while attacking and just flooding the bunkers with grenade launcher rounds as a Medic and getting revived and resupplied by goons

I don’t remember the score, but my all-time favorite BF1 moment was getting into the bunkers on Argonne Forest as the flamethrower elite with a pocket medic during a big bunker fight.

I turned that round into Meet The Pyro, complete with me whistling merrily to myself while the entire enemy team ran screaming in the other direction. It was glorious.
