Music is the golden key to creating atmosphere and game makers have almost totally forgotten about it. The map design, storytelling and music make the siberian mission the best singleplayer experience ever. Its not just me saying "old was better" in everything, this case its legit. The perfect harmony was created here.
as an outsider who just played this game for the first time recently, you definitely have your rose tinted nostalgia goggles on lol still a great game, especially for the time but nothing about this game screamed "best singleplayer experience ever" to me
Ditto. Nowadays all the extra maps and the various modes of the game would all to taken out and sold off individually as DLC. I am so grateful that my brother and myself grew up with games long before microtransactions and DLC infected gaming.
I loved the map maker. That's what first got me hooked on this game. I remember I was in Blockbuster one day, to find a fun shooter game to play. I happened to come across TS2, as it looked very interesting and fun. And wow, you could make your own maps! Awesome. I was sold.
I get kinda emotional listening to this =(( What a time to be alive for gaming haha. This series had so much potential. I could still play Ts2 to this day
I got this game for my GameCube when I was about 8 and I remember the zombies horrified me so the only way I could play the level was if I thought of the zombies as a bunch of drunk unarmed guards. ahh the memories...
Goddamn I miss the PS2 days. This soundtrack alone is a piece of underrated gaming history. now whenever I play The Humane Labs Heist in GTA 5 I switch to First person and play this in the background to bring back that Timesplitters feeling again
I got this game for my 10th Birthday, It was the best birthday gift EVER. Last time I played it was like when I was 13, but I remember getting platinum on all the challenges and arcade, and doing single player on hard by myself. Ever now and again I just start to think of Time Splitters 2 soundtracks..because, the game is just so damn good.
The SleepingMoose THQ got the rights for Timesplitters today. They annpunced that they want to use the Ip +they own dammbuster studios wich was the original stuff from Timesplitters back then. There is a 99% chance we get a new game. :D
The Radio woman who gives the announcement was kinda creepy awesome when she said "No Foreign bodies detected releasing lockdown" "Attention Attention Biological weapon has failed in a Research contamination" By the fact it is true and difficult at the hard mode xD
The best thing about Timesplitters is we make our own set-pieces. Things like CoD and BF3 drag you along with exploding buildings, all TS needs is co-op and we're done.
The reason how I found out about timesplitters when I was like 8 years old was because when I bought my ps2 it came with a demo disc named jam pack and there was where I discover timesplitters
A similar story for me, except it was a disc that came with our PS2. A demo disc from that month's issue of PSM. I still remember the games on that disc. This one, some mech game, some X-Men fighting game, and..well, I don't remember 'everything'...
BlamEruntalonGaming I doubt it was X-Men COTA. That was released waaaaaaay before Timesplitters 2 hence it'd be unlikely they'd be on the same demo disc.
I played TimeSplitters 2 for the first time yesterday and had an eargasm with this amazing tune, it reminded me of the good old gaming days (GoldenEye 007) when developers were actually concerned about delivering a more than decent soundtrack, along with a fun gameplay. Now it's all about graphics and mature content, how sad.
The best soundtrack I have ever listened in the history of my childhood since the day it releases, I stopped playing and listened it that glorious song.
I miss old games so much,i mean just imagine the atmosphere while hearing at this masterpiece,I miss the days when games had good music..pfff People of Rare so fucking talented btw..
this music........... ominous and dark, i use it when i go to the ancient caverns in runescape, it fits with the background so well..... this music screams "dark underground caverns of untold dangers"
For most games I've played, level 1 wasn't always the most impressive. Usually a hit and miss, very rare to be good. But this level was really amazing. Was truly a great start of the game. This level had that James Bond and Perfect Dark vibe to it.
ok i found it, the music thats been in my head, still studying music and guitar and this song was buried deep in my brain from my late teens and reactivated, Its Phrygian mode
I just get an amazing feeling whenever I hear this always puts a smile on my face I played this so much as a kid I always played coop Siberia always scared me lol
Yeah same. FP is a great game but what it lacked from 2 was the cool level design between each different time periods and the atmospheric music and tone of the levels. A lot of FP's story levels looked very samey and music wasn't that memorable either. Some of the multiplayer maps have good tracks though like disco and spaceport
I first head this music in a ps2 demo cd when i got my first console. Looked for the game ever since and ended up finding this bit of music just months ago. anyone else did that ?
Timesplitter Zombies were the best. They weren't like CoD Zombie where they die easily, TS Zombies wouldn't die until you hit their heads, I once spent ten minutes jus trying to kill one zombie. I sent my sister (my favourite co-op partner) on to just complete the mission while I dealt with the one zombie.
I never got around to buying the full game, but as a kid I completed the PS2 demo of the siberia level over a million times, man how nostalgic this feels :)
Did you find the helicopter boss fight exploit that can only be done in the demo? When you get the fight to start, if you immediately go back into the elevator you can go down to ground level and fight the boss there :-)
the zombies scared me as a kid (the intro mostly) but even then i loved them they were awesome at first i got scared and started firing wildly but later i just fist fight them
Remember always doin this level over and over again on the hardest difficulty with my brother. We'd spend over 6 hours to complete half of the game.. ~:\
Lol had to be my favourite mission, loved it when the zombies were on the rampage. Me and my friend used to make a dash for the elevator. Once we called he elevator and by the time it reached us it was full of zombies xD. I really miss this series...

When you get trapped in the room and the zombies wake up, that was always creepy, no matter how many times I played it,
Memories :')
Haha yeah my hands is shaking right now. Aaah like the good old days
+James'Filmz The flaming zombies!
First time I played the game (Probably 10 or 11 ) I skipped the cutscene and so when the zombies popped in I was caught off guard.
Music is the golden key to creating atmosphere and game makers have almost totally forgotten about it. The map design, storytelling and music make the siberian mission the best singleplayer experience ever. Its not just me saying "old was better" in everything, this case its legit. The perfect harmony was created here.
It was a perfect and promising start for the game. Great level, great experience and music. There was other few great levels, but not all of them.
i love timesplitters ;( good game about it
Totally agreed. 18 years later and I can still go back and play this level and have a great time.
as an outsider who just played this game for the first time recently, you definitely have your rose tinted nostalgia goggles on lol still a great game, especially for the time but nothing about this game screamed "best singleplayer experience ever" to me
They perfected golden eye dam with this level.
This is so good I dont understand how this has not won dozens of awards. Its a masterpiece.
2023 and here after hearing about the shutdown this game will forever be in my heart loved this game
It will come back.
"/C3rn" if you get what i mean👀
Easily one of the greatest opening levels for any video game ever
3:21 to the end is just so beautiful
Hell yeah
It’s the reason I’m here lol
For sure, this is the best moment of this song, how the entire song it builds up to this amazing tune.
These guys knew how to create an atmosphere. One can only hope that similarly talented designers and artists do the same for modern gaming.
So many memories... Waiting for Timesplitters Rewind
Ivan Chicharro
Still waiting 4 years later! :(
Rejoice, fellow gamers, for the TimeSplitters IP has been bought by a new developer!
@@Dartanius100 We're almost there, the games in it's testing/bug fix and polishing phase now.
9 years later and we still patiently waiting ;)) time splitters 4 is even in the works
The company working on it " Free Radical " was closed Dec 2023, the game is not only cancelled, the IP is locked as well.@@GLEEKY-zv8yk
Who else spent hours with there co op partner working out tactics to complete on hard
I beat it solo on hard
✋🏽lol
So many memories. Had tons of maps I created to enjoy with my siblings. This game is gold..😭
luqman farhanah Same man, same. So sad we will never get this feeling back.
Ditto. Nowadays all the extra maps and the various modes of the game would all to taken out and sold off individually as DLC. I am so grateful that my brother and myself grew up with games long before microtransactions and DLC infected gaming.

"Nikolai... the light."
I was scared shitless when i first played this level.
Lol, same.
I get kinda emotional listening to this =((
What a time to be alive for gaming haha. This series had so much potential. I could still play Ts2 to this day
Ryan Lauer I am playing it right now! Emulators :)
Jokes on you I have the actual physical game and I can play it.
uh, so do I. thanks
I got this game for my GameCube when I was about 8 and I remember the zombies horrified me so the only way I could play the level was if I thought of the zombies as a bunch of drunk unarmed guards. ahh the memories...
4:14 still gives me chills.
Am I the only one that thinks this game beat golden eye back then
Goddamn I miss the PS2 days. This soundtrack alone is a piece of underrated gaming history. now whenever I play The Humane Labs Heist in GTA 5 I switch to First person and play this in the background to bring back that Timesplitters feeling again
Hey! That's bad word....
The good old days. A part of my life. I will do not forget this feeling. Its a freedom! This game is one of my favorite 5 games ever.
ending of the song is just priceless
Legit golden eye vibes
Memories hit me harder than that sniper on top of the dam.
I got this game for my 10th Birthday, It was the best birthday gift EVER.
Last time I played it was like when I was 13, but I remember getting platinum on all the challenges and arcade, and doing single player on hard by myself. Ever now and again I just start to think of Time Splitters 2 soundtracks..because, the game is just so damn good.
Will never stop loving everything about this game... ahh the memories.
Oh god the nostalgia ... i still remember those zombies waiking up ... it give me nightmares , good old memories .
There is something so melancholic about this song.
We need a trilogy HD remake or something. Please :(
Hey buddy just hold on there is a new vlog video on TimeSplitter Rewind. So that's mean that project is alive !
This guy link????
This guy ?

Stefan Kainz what about second sight 2 🙏🙏🙏
Still love this game, song, i'm still playing it and it's old but gold!! xDDD
The Radio woman who gives the announcement was kinda creepy awesome when she said "No Foreign bodies detected releasing lockdown" "Attention Attention Biological weapon has failed in a Research contamination"
By the fact it is true and difficult at the hard mode xD
Oh Timesplitters a good game,and In have a Disc of timesplitters oh my god :( Memoryes
This game was adesome! First level music is epic! It will be wrote in my memory forever
The music to this level was amazing!
3:20 gives me goosebumps, fuck i miss this game.
The best thing about Timesplitters is we make our own set-pieces. Things like CoD and BF3 drag you along with exploding buildings, all TS needs is co-op and we're done.
Classic! This level proved to be a stellar introduction to a fantastic game.
The reason how I found out about timesplitters when I was like 8 years old was because when I bought my ps2 it came with a demo disc named jam pack and there was where I discover timesplitters
A similar story for me, except it was a disc that came with our PS2. A demo disc from that month's issue of PSM. I still remember the games on that disc. This one, some mech game, some X-Men fighting game, and..well, I don't remember 'everything'...
Rojaniel Some X-Men fighting game ... X-Men Children of the Atom ... so many hours played this game
BlamEruntalonGaming I doubt it was X-Men COTA. That was released waaaaaaay before Timesplitters 2 hence it'd be unlikely they'd be on the same demo disc.
KMS2K I have to agree with you.
Did not think the date of the release.
I think most of us been there
It's amazing... I have not heard this in years, yet I can hum just about every note..
I played TimeSplitters 2 for the first time yesterday and had an eargasm with this amazing tune, it reminded me of the good old gaming days (GoldenEye 007) when developers were actually concerned about delivering a more than decent soundtrack, along with a fun gameplay.

Best game EVARRRRRRRRR!!!
Second Sight - Isolation Theme
The best soundtrack I have ever listened in the history of my childhood since the day it releases, I stopped playing and listened it that glorious song.
Only thing i miss is the guards saying "HEY!"
I used to play this level over and over. The others were good but never lived up to this beast.
Holy shit you actually had the ENTIRE ost uploaded?? You’re the BEST! God I miss this game.
Funnest level that I have ever played in gaming history
So much memories
Steam pressure at 66 %
Steam pressure at 33 %
Steam pressure at zero %
*-* BESTE GAME EVER
I miss old games so much,i mean just imagine the atmosphere while hearing at this masterpiece,I miss the days when games had good music..pfff People of Rare so fucking talented btw..
So true
TimeSplitters 2 is my favorite game of all timesplitters ^-^
Future perfect is better imo.
Me too
'Stupid torch, does nothing in this army work?'
In Soviet Russia equipment use you
"You shouldn't be down here without security clearance!"
The legendary "dee dee doo doo doo" Soundtrack
Still have it on my gamecube
i do to, but it's gotten scratched :(
I also have it on PS2! It's not in the best condition, but it works.
PS2 isn't set up right now though
this music........... ominous and dark, i use it when i go to the ancient caverns in runescape, it fits with the background so well..... this music screams "dark underground caverns of untold dangers"
For most games I've played, level 1 wasn't always the most impressive.
Usually a hit and miss, very rare to be good. But this level was really amazing.
Was truly a great start of the game. This level had that James Bond and Perfect
Dark vibe to it.
ok i found it, the music thats been in my head, still studying music and guitar and this song was buried deep in my brain from my late teens and reactivated, Its Phrygian mode
I just get an amazing feeling whenever I hear this always puts a smile on my face I played this so much as a kid I always played coop Siberia always scared me lol
there was a magic with TS2 that was missing form future perfect (which is still great btw)
Yeah same. FP is a great game but what it lacked from 2 was the cool level design between each different time periods and the atmospheric music and tone of the levels. A lot of FP's story levels looked very samey and music wasn't that memorable either. Some of the multiplayer maps have good tracks though like disco and spaceport
This song always went well with the bobing up and down of the weapons on screen.
Graeme Norgate is composer of all TimeSplitters franchise.
Definitely the best soundtrack to any video game
NO FOREIGN BODIES DETECTED...RELEASING LOCKDOWN
its all down to me now! epic line
I first head this music in a ps2 demo cd when i got my first console. Looked for the game ever since and ended up finding this bit of music just months ago. anyone else did that ?
Second sight 😍
Timesplitter Zombies were the best. They weren't like CoD Zombie where they die easily, TS Zombies wouldn't die until you hit their heads, I once spent ten minutes jus trying to kill one zombie. I sent my sister (my favourite co-op partner) on to just complete the mission while I dealt with the one zombie.
Did the exact same, but with my sister weirdly enough xD It's the only one she'd wanna play when I always wanted to play Notre Dame :)
Any one else think their disc was fucked when the steam pressure announcement was weird and you realised you blew up the speakers
Time Splitters Remaster/Remake when? and don't forget about the map editor 👀
I never got around to buying the full game, but as a kid I completed the PS2 demo of the siberia level over a million times, man how nostalgic this feels :)
Did you find the helicopter boss fight exploit that can only be done in the demo?
When you get the fight to start, if you immediately go back into the elevator you can go down to ground level and fight the boss there :-)
Hmm no I never tried that, the demo would always end when i hopped into one of the turrets. Gonna give it a try, thx :)
Nikolai, Sgt Shivers, Lt Frost, Trooper Black, and Captain Snow represent!
Nikolai iintro scared me when I was younger, but man this is the latest fps to this day which had a soul! Amazingly well made game
so many memories.
i've played the demo disc (siberia level) through my youth for at least 200 times.
Close Your Eye's,Play Sound Track With Playstation Controller In Hand and Let The Memories Flood You
'It's all up to me now'
This music is so beautiful
SO much memories in this song ♥
I got this game in 1st grade for my birthday now im going into 10th and i still love it so many memories
The guard in the stairs grrrr
the zombies scared me as a kid (the intro mostly) but even then i loved them they were awesome at first i got scared and started firing wildly but later i just fist fight them
Love the ending part of this song :-) so beautiful.
I remeber playing this as a kid such a good game steam pressure at 66%
someone 2023 listening to this masterpiece
2024 boiii
Not anymore
I remember how i use to be OBSESSED with this game
This theme.....this theme....ah man. The memories!!! Love this one!
I just realized that this theme and Second Sight's "Isolation" theme have the same melody
does anyone remember that damn room where you had to get the disc and you get locked in with the zombies?
Damn, the feeder zombies used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid!
I miss this song
I'd be happy with a HD version, or a collection would be epic :P
almost has a post apocalyptic feel to it. my fave track tho.
Remember always doin this level over and over again on the hardest difficulty with my brother. We'd spend over 6 hours to complete half of the game.. ~:\
I remember 20+ years ago as a kid playing a demo disc that had final fantasy 10 and this game on it I thought this level was the coolest shit ever
one of the most memorable opening levels ever.
I used to ply it with my sister too.... Good memories!!
The woman you play as in this level is actually a descendant to Dr Katje Nadir from Timesplitters 1's Village level.
Memories...
expert mode, co-op was awesome
Lol had to be my favourite mission, loved it when the zombies were on the rampage. Me and my friend used to make a dash for the elevator. Once we called he elevator and by the time it reached us it was full of zombies xD. I really miss this series...
amazing memories. Times have changed now, games aren't like they used to be.
Can't wait for ts4 announcement. WOOH!. Been playing timesplitters since ts1 release back in the year 2000
Throwing goddamn bricks through goddamn windows.
Thios game among the others in the series is the reason I bought, own and will never let go of my PS2
Perhaps the greatest piece of video game music ever created
