+Roy S. I think it's the influence of famous movies and culture. Think of the music from Band of Brothers and Saving Private Ryan in context of the American music. Then think of British movies like the Battle of Britain and the Dambusters and their music. It's a very different sort of theme. American films are often about the experiences of groups and individuals, and the music reflects their struggles and heroism through the war, while classic British WW2 films tended to be about the story of the whole - of Britain herself - and the music reflected the determination of the nation. Meanwhile, in popular ww2 themes, Russians are often associated with their opera music. German-themed music is generally inspired by militaristic themes.
They both add a certain feel to the nation you are playing. The UKF theme is based on the loss of mainland Europe to the Germans, and this thus empowering the British to fight on. The Russian and Wehrmacht ones are symbolic of the two large nation's military power to repel the enemy, yet also the fact that both nations are heading through dark times.
This may sound silly, but I use this for homework. It gets me pumped to work but also soothing enough to bang out a couple essays. Thank you Company of Heroes II, very cool.
Interesting that other people are discribing the peace and the epicness of this song, but the part that stands out most to me is the gradually increasing sense of nostalgia and tiredness from 2:15, like the musical embodiment of "Sometimes the journey is more important then the destination.", and you have reached your destination.
love the background it is so awesome and peaceful also hearing this makes me happy the brits are on par against the axis and that their time beating the allies into a pulp is coming to an end...
I love the song, but after 0:47 the theme just becomes incredible, love it. Starts kinda Scottish, then some kinda drum Gregorian Chant then some battle theme. Astounding.
"This one's for my ma! And her house!" "Ding! Ding! Off, we go driver!" "Tickets, please... and away we go!" "Just like driving round ol' Bovington eh?" "Well... here goes Bovington's finest." "We're in a tank, we go through things." "A big fucking machine gun? You read my mind." "Enemy infantry firing on us! The cheeky bastards!" "Move! have you passed your bloody driving test!?" "Enemy infantry firing on us! Bollocks!"
"Time to earn the King's shilling!" "All right lads, Tea break is over. Let's go!" "We do what officers called, Repositioning!" "Were bloody soldiers you know!"
Royal Engineers are some of my favourite units when they're stressed as fuck "SAPPERS, RUN LIKE BUGGERY!!" "DROP THE FUCKIN' CRUTCHES AND RUN!!" "CHRIST SAKE, ENEMY ARMOR FIRIN' ON US!"
This song makes me feel proud to be British. So patriotic, bold and heroic, like our country. So glad I bought the DLC, made me cry once the theme started playing. God Save the King (Queen), lads. 🇬🇧

British main menu theme and commentator are ATROCIOUS, especially compared to CoH1.

Yes my favorite faction theme
it's really great British theme
Honestly, this is the best main screen theme.
Funfact: The Glider seen flying/gliding by has never landed since the release of the British Forces.
rumor says it hasnt landed ever since british forces came out...
They say, if you go to Normandy, sometimes in a foggy late afternoon, you can see it, still circling the LZ waiting for the clear signal to land.
Legend says that glider still gliding even after the war
Legends say, it killed so many birds while circling that it got to vet 3.
If only there was an easter egg where it has a tiny random chance to fall outta the sky on it's pass and twat itself straight into a tree 😂
Epic part begins at 1:23 - I love the contrast between this and peacefull rest of the song.
I hear this part as the Battle of Britain
Firefly ready to make someone a bloody nose!
***** I have no idea.
the Firefly in COH2 feels underpowered despite the upgrades.
@@MarvinT0606 if you use some mod like wikinger, its op af.
@@MollyMoller It's one reason why I got the mod though. Of course every other tank became a glass cannon, which is just right.
The British theme evokes determination, the “We shall fight them on the beaches” spirit. Keeping calm and carry on.
Just what you need. An angry Welshman driving a Churchill...
He ain't Welsh, he's northern English
Still angry
Very angry
More like West Country.
Churchill? Did you mean, a moving bunker?
This may sound silly, but I use this for homework. It gets me pumped to work but also soothing enough to bang out a couple essays.
Thank you Company of Heroes II, very cool.
I dont blame u mate, the Russian theme hits hard too in my opinion
Well done! I use it to help me push through work
@@averagejoe2043 keep it up Average Joe!
@@benwallis1222 Yeah it’s a great theme
After the WW2, British tank designers incorporated water boilers to the tanks so the tank crew could brew tea inside the tank.

This is beautiful when I ever play this game this song will play as British ☺️
I love how the Brits have Canadian tank drivers.
I love the song, but after 0:47 the theme just becomes incredible, love it. Starts kinda Scottish, then some kinda drum Gregorian Chant then some battle theme. Astounding.
I love this song
"Bloody hell, more trouble than Bins!"
This is painfully relatable.
He said bints not bins would be more sense as a brit to say bints.
"This one's for my ma! And her house!"
"Ding! Ding! Off, we go driver!"
"Tickets, please... and away we go!"
"Just like driving round ol' Bovington eh?"
"Well... here goes Bovington's finest."
"We're in a tank, we go through things."
"A big fucking machine gun? You read my mind."
"Enemy infantry firing on us! The cheeky bastards!"
"Move! have you passed your bloody driving test!?"
"Enemy infantry firing on us! Bollocks!"
Shut the f*ck up, we got a message.
"Time to earn the King's shilling!"
"All right lads, Tea break is over. Let's go!"
"We do what officers called, Repositioning!"
"Were bloody soldiers you know!"
"It's a tank, we drive over and through things"*
"Move! You cast iron bitch! Move!"
Which is funny because Cromwell's armor is riveted.
Royal Engineers are some of my favourite units when they're stressed as fuck
"SAPPERS, RUN LIKE BUGGERY!!"
"DROP THE FUCKIN' CRUTCHES AND RUN!!"
"CHRIST SAKE, ENEMY ARMOR FIRIN' ON US!"
armor under attack, ha! by a flamethrower!?!
Lorentz Smits If you have the wikinger mod, however....a flamethrower can knock out even the most powerful of tanks..

Great. Someone uploaded it. Finally.
1:22 Going in for King and country.

Best game, best Soundtracks. Company of Heroes 2 offers by far the best soundtracks a game can have.
This song makes me feel proud to be British. So patriotic, bold and heroic, like our country. So glad I bought the DLC, made me cry once the theme started playing.
God Save the King (Queen), lads.
🇬🇧
motherfucker came back 2 years later to edit it to say king, what a madlad
I don't care if Lizzie's gone, It's God save the Queen!
"Today we show the world what it means to be a Man of Britain."
"Doubt not Major, the Gods have answered!"
Something spine tingling about this piece but not sure why...
Best song in COH2
" a firefly is here to give someone a bloody nose"
this music turned my coffee into tea
“Move you cast iron Bitch! MOVE!”
The best theme music in the series.
For queen and country lads
Favorite quote in the game from when the Bofors shoots down a plane "right and properly all buggered up!"
Tea or something strong?
For me this music feel more like triumph and glory
I just can't help but to sip tea while listening to this. it's beautiful. and i'm not even a brit
Why sip tea when you can *inject it straight into your veins using a six foot long needle* ?
"If all of the dead allied soldiers could see their countries now, they would have thrown down their weapons and fought with the Germans"

Back then it actually God save the King
Well actually god save The King 😭😭
@@towarzysz9452 The Queen is dead, Long live the King!
This song is so British it turned my coffee into tea.
about 1:23 is the beginning of a possible Alan Silvestri "Avengers" soundtrack influence?
+david watkins That's what I was thinking. Reminds me of the Avengers theme.
OH I LOVE YOU I THOUGHT THE SAME
I keep repeating that part cause it does sounds very heroic. As if a band of people are going out to save the world 🌎.
"A British officer must be calm and collected even under duress." Zulu Dawn. Sorry wrong war and wrong century.
Best moment
Churchill Tank being hit by panzershaft from panzergrenadier
"Fuckin Jerry Cans"
Panzergrenadiers laughing out loud and charging at me
The best part is 00:47
I remember when they launched I fell in love with the old Sniper the old tulip rockets and the old emplacements
Whish relic didn't nerfed them into the ground
And an old centaur which could wipe out garrison in less than 3 seconds
I remember just sitting in menu listening to whole theme when this dlc came out
There'a a rather splendid cromwell out of control
1:18 the best part you can subtly hear violins, cellos or something
" Ding! Ding!! "
off we go driver
"Tickets please... and away we go~"
as an american this makes me want to pick up an enfield rifle and charge for king and country
"Show them who won the battle of Britain"
ding dang of we go driver
The beginning sounds like the composer desperatly wanted to make it a remix on auld lang syne.
0:48 can't be more British than this
1:58 wait a minute, this is a Spider-Man theme, wth
For KING and COUNTRY!!!!!
Awesome. Nice vid.
Why do I get so nostalgic 😭😭😭
great theme :)
2:06 when king tiger arrives but you have x2 17 pounds
And you get his engine
Love it to do CoH2 voice lines inside our Churchill tank when playing Post Scriptum.
I do the same but in Hell Let Loose ;)
Tea or something stronger?
Makes me wanna charge a machine gun nest for king and country and i am not even british
i love using british at coh
because of the powerfull 17 pounder and their handsome tanks

isn't this a same song from Sea Of Theives?
I prefer OWK theme.. so intense. Russian one isn't that bad either (especially the violin).
Don't know why but this theme reminds me of Valkyria Chronicles
