Hahaha, I completely lost it on the last slide..
so... much... nostalgia! also i've started a habit of making the battlefield theme my phone ringtone. so I had the bf3 one last year (as displayed in the video) and currently i have a bf4 ringtone which i spliced from the trailer. it's wicked. i'll find it and host it. here [url]https://www.dropbox.com/s/9qomvcc8u4ymr0v/Bf4ring.mp3[/url]
I'm sorry; but listen to the music on the trailer for Paracel Storm [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_xaIv7Wo1A[/media] and listen to the song at 40 seconds. It sounds pretty nice.
Wait. Is that really the Battlefield 4 theme? It's just noise.

yeah the idea is that it's electronic but with the old feel to it but that doesn't make it objectively bad because i honestly think it's the best version of the theme to date
I like the battlefield 4 theme

bad company one and two had some pretty bomb ass themes i will give them that but 4 is something i really dig though perhaps my taste is already predetermined by listening to a shitton of like heavy electronic post-rock type shit like NIN, St. Vincent, and Sigur Ros
I like how 2142 didn't have a electronic sounding one, yet it's the only one set in the future.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiDa2BHI5PY[/media] 3's theme isn't too bad, it's just cherrypicking the teaser sound in the video.

Sure it's not as great as the previous (Nostalgia may be involved) but I like the fusion of electronic and traditional. gah my automerge
[video=youtube;9VFmyhFyWdk]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VFmyhFyWdk[/video] I like this theme the most, to be honest, despite the fact it is not the original.

Should've just slapped some dubstep track on the end instead.

The newer themes are better than just noise but they're still terrible compared to the old ones, and that is painfully obvious because they're new takes on those PS: you forgot [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lz0v-qixpOI"]the best one[/URL]
the battlefield 5 music speaks to me clearly, true masterpiece
Bad Company 2 had some [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeocrOg4eXM]awesome themes[/url].

I'm not saying "yeah this theme is the best fuck that old orchestra shit!!!" I'm sharing an opinion
I think actual instruments with some oomph to them conveys a feeling of a big battle going down than something ripped out of the Tron soundtrack, personally. It's decent enough music, but not good battlefield music. Sounds like something some deadmau5 crazed fan made, not something in an actual battlefield game :v: This sounds so much more like something that fits a huge ground war [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5HqlYBowvg[/media] Than assorted beeps and boops Bad Company 1 was where BF hit it's peak, honestly. Stagnated with BC2 and went downhill from there.
I always thought 1942 had the nicest version of the BF theme
The original Battlefield themes are incredible. They just exude valor and heroism- make you feel like a soldier on the ground, but whenever I hear the new ones I just think of gritty military shooter generica.
the original battlefield themes sound like military generica

[media][URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX-3b1DK-4s[/URL][/media] So satisfying to hear this after the map switches to Operation Road Rage.
The Battlefield 3 and 4 themes in this video aren't the actual themes. That's just how they end all of their ads.
