Trent Reznor Writing Theme Song for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

[xfocalinx]

Welp, JUST because Trent is doing the theme, I HAVE To get the hardened edition.

[Fixer808]

I got your "hardened edition" right here.

[sick among the pure]

I got your "hardened edition" right here.

But Trent isn't on it.

[FernandoDante]

Stupid, guitar-y music here:

I hope it's not the theme.

I hope it's not the theme.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say "That doesn't sound like anything Trent's ever done and so it's probably not the theme."

Well how about this one?

[sheepdean]

Do video game soundtracks have For Your Consideration samplers?

[wizfan]

Maybe, if they submit stuff to the G.A.N.G. (Game Audio Network Guild).

Will it be in six parts with three variations of the same thing?

[Ruined]

I hope Trent goes the extremely lazy route and merely rehashes "The Hand That Feeds." Specifically, I hope he keeps all the music (and lyrics) from the original song and only changes the line, "Will you bite the hand that feeds you?" to: "Will you heed the call of duty/Will you stay down on your knees?" Now THAT would make all the hype worth the purchase of the Hardened Edition!

fixed to reflect videogaming “traditions”

You can pre-order the album/song here. It has samples with an "Orchestral Mix", too. The release date is November 13th. I'm liking the song length...

5:38, very good, very good. I'd forgotten about this thing for a few months, but now I'm excited again.

[Shnoorum]

The sampler has really kind of put me off. Theres just something about it that I really dont like. I suppose I've never been much of a fan of wartimey type music. Still theres an extra 5 minutes I haven't heard yet so I shant pass any judgement yet

[sheepdean]

I wonder who chose release date first, COD or HTDA? I doubt either will get as much attention as they'd want due to the other's release on the same day.

As for the sample .. it's kinda what I expected, but hey, 5 minutes more to surprise me

[gorast]

The album's going to be available on iTunes on the 13th as well, for those of you who prefer iTunes over Amazon/pirating.

[fritzon]

For those hoping for an actual disc with the Hardened Edition of the game I'm sorry to report that it's a digital download :/

[SM Rollinger]

Where'd you find this out?
Also, that just makes it easier for me, and so for you guys as well.

Or just buy the soundtrack from Amazon or iTunes.

I'm the manager at the local GameStop and we received our copies a few days ago. I can't wait to hear the tracks but there's no way in hell I'm spending that kind of money on a game I'm generally not interested in.

[AgentofChaos]

^ Kudos. Dont imagine it will stay up for long but that theme is fucking boss. Could be my favorite thing since Tetsuo. So good.

[BenAkenobi]

Oddly, it couldn't get more Fragiley Nailsy (to the extent we'll see many complaints about it being "too trademark")

7-minute version is also up on youtube.

Thank you! I've been checking this thread everyday for weeks for this, and it's just as awesome as I was hoping it would be! It really is the coolest thing since Tetsuo!

[sheepdean]

It doesn't really GO anywhere, just feels like lots of elements on a page, with no real cohesion.

[WorzelG]

See - every other video game theme since video games began. The Quake theme didn't really go anywhere, minute or so of industrial metal followed by a few minutes of ambience with no real point!

[gorast]

Wow, that really did sound like it came straight out of 1999.

It's a good song, nothing to write home about, really. I like it, more or less.

Oh, how come this sounds like a complete song when apparently 28 seconds are missing (if Amazon's times are correct)?

perhaps the OST mix is 5:38 while 5:10 is the length of a game rip which is on youtube
