"If history only remembers one in a thousand of us, then the future will be filled with stories of who we were and what we did. How we lived, how we fought, and how we died. When this is all over and the war is won, they will remember us."
The main theme of the Battlefield franchise is timeless and iconic. Audible in almost every game in the line, it is truly a tune very familiar to even individuals who do not play the game.
As the first soundtrack of the Battlefield series, 1942's soundtrack introduced the Battlefield Theme, as well as making use of large and majestic fanfares similar to those used in future installments.
As Battlefield 2042 approaches, I for one wanted to create a rendition in the epic style I manifest. Complete with commanding brass and earth shattering drums.
[ This Is Kāru from Launch day of 2042, It went…Dice pls ]
[SPOILERS]
A dark ominous hum signals the entrance of the piece. This is then followed by Taiko drums and hard hitting strings. They start to intensify as a German officer rouses his troops at the beginning of the Kaiserschlacht. The drums, strings and brass intensify even more with much velocity played in each instrument. A break comes, then synths begin the countdown to the chorus.
The iconic theme roars in all it's glory along with large drums, brass, and strings. As well as electric guitars to add to it's already intense nature. Trumpets begin joining forces and emphasizing the motif even more. Ending with the iconic drum motif of the theme, But this is not over.
After pads and synths give way to rest the composition, an Erhu (A Chinese oriental instrument) begins playing one of the other iconic themes from Battlefield's soundtrack. Followed by the full orchestra and an inspiring choir.
As a lone trumpet signals the end of the section, it is followed by fast strings and large drums. What can be heard is radio chatter ripped straight from one of the most legendary missions in the franchise, "Going Hunting" from Battlefield 3. As the sounds of Jets being launched from an aircraft carrier roar, the orchestra prepare for the finale. Synths begin and one last iconic motif and then...boom.
An armada of full fortissimo instruments come together to create an absolutely earth trembling finale. This is also accompanied by one hell of an electric guitar. The whole orchestra then plays to the beat of the theme as a build up to the final motif. It concludes with the most powerful drums played to the beat of...."Du-Dun Dun, Du-Dun Dun"

So uhhm…How’s 2042?
I like it
Pain.
A very not so good experience
Straight dogshit
Very bland and uncreative. Between the bugs, graphics, and mechanics, you'd think this is a medium budget indie studio
Its trash if compared to past battlefield titles
I’m guessing you’ll put the iconic “DUN DUN DUN , DUN DUN DUN” : P
👀
Terminator?
Loll
duN dUN DUN
DUN DUn Dun
"2:16" I swear I wanted to CRY on this part, it was so emotional!!!
music is a way of speaking, we just don’t know yet...
@@cadbr3446 Music is used in literally all forms of digital entertainment
@@puppergump4117 always that one guy
@@conkeegs I'm just saying, "we just don't know yet" is nonsense when music is everywhere. If the music isn't there to say something about a movie, game, or performance, then what is it there for?
Music please brother... !
The screaming in German really makes this remix.
But seriously, great job
I had goose bumps. Für den Kaiser !!!
2:50 gives me chills every time I listen to it. I love this rendition of BF1. Amazing job! 👍
Thank you! 😁
I literally searched "Dun dun dun dun dun dun" in the UA-cam search bar, and I was NOT disappointed! This is like the whole legacy of BATTLEFIELD... this franchise is no doubt my favorite out of all of them. It helped me pass German class! Es ist sehr wunderbar!
Gramatically correct, you would rather say "absolut wunderbar!" - absolutely wonderful, though ^^
Or "sau geil"- loosely: fucking great. :D (lit.: hog.-horny btw.)
"Endgeil"- loosely the epitome of all greatness, would work aswell :'D
Ah. Love the language.
What does he said at 00:40 ?
My man, you have just S M O K E D my expectations and blown me away with this orchestration! The midsection has ought to be my favorite part of this wonderful piece
dude. this is fucking amazing. Theres so much depth and musical touches to this, its just beautiful. Lightyears ahead (in my opinion) of the theme they actually made for 2042! GG
@@BanditFlier no. milk aged better than 2042 lmao
Hope ya'll like the new thumbnail style! More flares and streaks of light, the better! I also have a KoFi link if you wish to further support me! 💛 ko-fi.com/officialcarlabelgas
Hey Kāru, do you ever plan on putting your songs on Spotify?
The new style reminds me of 2weis covers :D
@@childharvester8131 I love adding more synths to my compositions now! Really liking that hybrid feel as it just brings out so much power ^^
@ it doesss it’s so dope and badass as well!
Awesome work so far! I noticed you have made orchestral remix covers of other pop songs so I figured why not make one of Hall of Fame by the Script? That one is a classic!
Never knew a fellow Protogen could make such great music!
I appreciate it, Thanks! Beep Boop!
Tbh, that is the best epic cover i´ve heard, like ever. Not exaggerating. I´ve heard a lot. And it´s rare that you listen to other songs from the same artist wich also sound great. But yours do. Keep it up, you have a good talent. God bless!
Thank you so much! I am honoured! 😁
You used a rendition of the Battlefield 1 Soundtrack which has shaped my channel so much! This is the *PERFECT* song I would love to have in one of my future project!!!
I will give you the proper credientials provided for you with this Original song. 😀👍
Of course! Go ahead, I am very honoured! 😁
One of the best covers of Battlefield...
great job!
Thanks! 😁
as always, you have far exceeded my expectations. keep up the fantastic work, friend.
My god, get this man an agent! This should have been the 2042 trailer theme!
This is easily the greatest cover I have ever heard! I love how you’ve taken some parts from the Legacy theme.
I will be very disappointed if the main theme doesn’t sound at least a little bit like 1942. The more recent modern time Battlefield themes just didn’t feel as gritty as the original ones. BF1 and V pretty much nailed it.
I look forward to this with extreme interest
Even though UA-cam removed dislikes, I'm willing to bet that this video has 0 dislikes. This was a blessing for the ears.
@@BanditFlier Well I'm pretty sure that those 11 people think that Cardi B is a good singer
This is more than a remix, and more then a mashup of different versions of the battlefield theme. This is a story written through music:
0:00 - 2:10 The World Wars (1&2)
2:11 - 2:40 The Cold War (Including the Vietnam and Korean Wars, as characterized by the Far East style of orchestra)
2:40 - 2:50 9/11 and the start of the War on Terrorism
2:51 - 3:13 The War on Terrorism, including Afghanistan and the Persian Gulf War
3:14 - 3:24 The End of the War on Terrorism
3:25 - 3:48 The new United States Army, coming to begin the War with Communism
3:49 - 5:25 The modern Battlefield series as The United States takes down Communist China
Like I said, it’s more then just the remix or the mashup, it’s a song telling an in-depth story about the history of the United States without using words. This is why people call music art, because it can tell someone centuries of history through just a few minutes of guitar strumming and drum beating.
communist china? what?
@@vorkutaofficer1788 China is Communist, its called the People's Republic for a reason lol
Thanks for the ideas
In the 'world wars' part, you might aswell throw in some interwar conflicts aswell, such as the Spanish Civil War, The First Phase of the Chinese Civil War and the Soviet-Japanese Border War.
@@vorkutaofficer1788 I take it you haven't played the BF4 campaign?
Long time Battlefield fan
Tears in my eyes
'Nuff said man, 'nuff said!
Dice should have hired you. I just came back from that nigthmare they produced.
0:23 wait was that what I thought it was? Shouldn’t be surprised for how well constructed this is.
Bravo 👏
11/10 Definitely would put on loop for a few days.
Can’t wait to hear!!!
Every time i see a notification from this channel my faith in society is restored
whoa man.. 03:42 "..putting tension on.." it worked, i think i can never ever relax again...
the voice-sample synced to the iconic break at 00:00:45 is damn fancy'n'fresh.. though battlefield has been officially completed to me with bf4 it feels good to see that there are still many, many players, admirers and creators out there still putting so much love, time and effort into their works around the franchise in spite of the giant and almost scandalous fuck-up with the 2042 release and their "corporate conduct" until present day. as it had no spectator-toolbox so the fan-productions and remixes of the soundtrack became a true goldmine.. yours is one of the top 3 - outstanding piece of work
This has more BF2142 vibes in it which would make it a worthy successor to that legendary game.
I’m just discovering this now and holy crap the work put into this really shows this is absolutely incredible! This cover manages to be both epic, serene, and catchy at the same time! I wish this was on Spotify it’s so good! Well Done!
I'm in awe just listening to this. Great job. although you missed the chance to add the Battlefield 4 beat drop.
DAAAAAAN DUN DUN DUN DUUUUUN
🥁💥
That's very epic mate 😎😎😎
Aye! Thanks Dev! Much appreciated! 💥
Really cool drum cover, I support your video
Now that’s epic
man that Erhu really makes me want to play BF4 as PLA
This is an absolute gem, amazing work my friend. Love 4:14
Awesome as usual!
Aye! Thank you! 😁
That part with the electric guitar along with the main theme fucking killed me! That was amazing
This took well beyond the level of effort Dice and EA put into Battlefield 2042. Nice job, Karu.
This is Awesome im loving it pls make more of these
I just wanna say, Thank you so much.
Again absolutely amazing, keep up the great work!
Thank you for your work!
Awesome Work 👌👌👌 I Love This Sound
This is awesome !
How the f*** does this not have MILLIONS of views
Holy shittt thank youuuu
I feel like this is going to either be warsaw or a mashup.
Epic
Damn, you need to get that gain up, this sounds amazing! The world of sounds you have created with this soundtrack is colourful, the perfect pacing, balance of modern and old, the cadence, it's truly fascinating. This is going to be in our theme release trailer for Battlefield 2042 with full credits of course! We are looking forward to seeing more from you! Thank you for putting this into the world.
Thank you! I’m honoured! 😁
Its a shame I am only seeing this now! Soooo good
This is amazing! Your super talented.
top tier
Been jamming to this since it came out. Got a playlist of Battlefield music and I vibe to this song every time I play BF2042. This should be the official BF Portal theme.
Really good cover. If I had to guess the reason this doesn't have more views is because you used 2042 as the image. It has by far the *worst* version of the Battlefield theme ever made and people probably assume it's a cover of that theme and don't click on the vid.
This is the best Battlefield theme I've heard!! I love how you blended in elements of multiple Battlefield games! I heard BF3, 4, 1 and V references in there, and they were all done perfectly!!
yeah cool
Im repeat,repeat and repeat this music, it pretty cool and love it.
Amazing cover dude, Great job 👍
Thank you! 😁✨
It's amazing
Crossing the diaglogue with the music was genius
The Battlefield 1 rendition is brilliant !
Sir, I hope to god you do Medal of Honor next. Would love to hear your take on some of the most iconic themes composed by Michael Giacchino and Christopher Lennertz.
At 0:39 didn't that sound like Simon from Neebs Gaming? (the guy who played a noob and an angry other player in Battlefield Friends) either way it's stuck in my head that way now. BTW great work!
Masterpiece
GG bro phenomenal!!
This gave me stroke, I’m gonna listen to it again.
This is a blessing.
God the memories that started poping up after lithening to this song !
2:17 chills 😔
Hey! Making another comment here. I can't stop listening to 2:16 over and over again. I think it's the Battlefield 1 section...? Anyway, could you tell me whatever instrument that beautiful horn thing was? I think I'm in love with it
Thanks! The lead instrument for that part is not a horn or any brass instrument. It's actually an "Erhu" it's a Chinese string instrument. 😁
Nice job with the music
Best battlefield theme.
Yes i knew it!!
Wow, for a mostly organic, but also partially cybernetic protogen such as yourself, you know how to make damn good remixes.
Well done!😊👍
Great music.
4:05 INSTANT GOOSEBUMPS :O
Damn this so fucking good!
3:22 radio chatters = heaven
Good mix bro
Holy smokes! Wow!!!!
Great Job, Comrade toaster
Thank you, Fellow Toaster
YOOOO PROTOGEN BATTLEFIELD LETS GOOOOOO
this is great. miles better than the 2042 OST. And it feels like every battlefield in this. And the screaming in german really creates an atmosphere.
*”We Are Being Reinforced With A Dreadnought”*
Pog⚡
banger.
He do be spittin' facts, not gonna lie.
Man. That imperial german speech part :D Jesus.
2:16: Battlefield V
2:50: Battlefield 1
much nice 10/borger
This way better than the original
Somehow this music feels like your jet just got disabled instead of you rendezooking someone
dang that battlefield 1 line gave me cills 🥶
I hope you can make more music about the battlefield
Me still waiting for this to be on Spotify 💀
I love the sound of German. If anyone understands German, please transcribe the scream and let me know.
ขอบคุณ😮
man, I miss having fun in the battlefield series with out hacker
DICE if you ever find this, the music here represents the spirit of the *true* Battlefield we know and love. Please do something about what is going on if you want people to come back. Stop listening to EA because they will KILL it.
Ok, alright, so it CAN be improved. Neat.
