[alejandrologo]

Of COURsse... Master...

[IceBaine]

better than runescape x100000 and yes, it's over 9000!!!

[irimatodos]

my tummi feels funny...

[BrotherDeath100]

Blizzard: blowing us away with awesome theme music 1990s-Present

[Isusovac1995]

1:37

A Smile just arrived at my face:)

[gaarg]

@Isusovac1995 this exact par does that to me everytime :)



[Machdude]

Everytime I listen to this, I remember how I went crazy for ranged units. XD

[darkness666ify]

i Miss This Game

[BahamutZEROOO]

Who was the composer for Warcraft 2 anyway...? Whoever they were they sure made a ton of really memorable, classic themes.

[VegasBilgeRat]

@BahamutZEROOO i was just thinking the same thing. Who wrote these? These tracks are pure epic!

Each and every one are memorable, exciting, musically colorful, and perfectly fill the mood for battle!

[Irydion]

@VegasBilgeRat it seems to be Glenn Stafford who wrote w2 musics.

[BahamutZEROOO]

Who was the composer for Warcraft 2 anyway...?

[wowpockopa]

All this Thrall and WoW hating has to stop! All orc clans ARE AWESOME!!!!! So fuck you all who dont like all warcraft games! WARCRAFT PWNS FROM 1- WOW

[wkunzelman1]

@wowpockopa -hug-

[mysteryman0131]

I"M ALIVE!!!

[romopua]

i love this music and the dragonheart of psx is similar

[Kafatasci35]

THIS WAY NO THAT WAY!

[Flurow]

is it only me whos shivering by this music its so damn good!

[Ultralism]

This is from the time when PC gaming was a new frontier and everyone was out exploring, discovering new things to see and do. A magic age.

[VideoGamer869]

Aye Matey?

You're the captain.

[KnarkPekka]

@VideoGamer869

Captain on the bridge! Who wants to sing?!

[MiddleEasternBorder]

"The victory pyres burn high into the ruined capital of Lordaeron. Your success has led Orgrim Doomhammer - Warchief of the Orcish Hordes - to elevate you to the station of Warlord, thus giving you power and the command of your own clan. The alliance has finally been crushed, with all those surviving being crushed and cremated as is dictated by the rituals. At long last Azeroth and all of its lands belong to the thunderous force known to those foolish enough to stand in its way as the Horde!"

[DarKPuRiTyDK]

Definitely the game of my life.

[spartan132]

This music makes me wanna go out and fight

[CRanNL]

Woah, I miss this lol 

[darkmankill1]

i have a feeling blizzards going back to the old orc style of brutality and blood.

New warchief, Kicks ass like grom and hes been drinking alot of aliance blood.

[VideoGamer869]

@darkmankill1 Except this time we aren't going with just stone axes. This time our technology will not be so barbaric. Goblin explosives, Demolishers, Steel Fortification, tactical knowledge, and heavy armor.

[totemstump]

Of course.... master...

[BuGGyBoBerl]

AS you wish, mylord!

[Dubya2012]

We're ready master. Im not Ready!

[SODEMO2007]

New Troll here!

[iCommentatez]

This should be the Orc's ground forces theme, blood-soaked catapults slowly rumble forward, as blood-thirsty grunts and blood-lusty ogres charge forward all around them.

[Corbinhair]

@iCommentatez like blood much?...

[AngrySnarks]

This track does great justice to the glory and might of the Horde. I can imagine a Horde army preparing for a major battle.

[ESFAndy011]

@AngrySnarks Exactly dude. I think this is the best theme in the whole game.

[thedonoftrek]

Lok'tar Ogar!!! FOR THE HORDE!!!

[Pavielpetrovich]

The segment from 1:37 to 1:50 sounds quite a bit like one of the Terran tunes in Starcraft 1. Due to some sort of confusion as to how the Terran tunes are numbered, I couldn't say which one.

[TomaSkTemplar]

@Pavielpetrovich you could say starcraft sounded like warcraft in certain stages, because you know 1995 WII, 98 was SC...I looks more that youre used to SC and this is something new to you. (or not as known I might say)

[speedanimemagic]

huh?

swobu!

dabu!

[96926730x]

este soundtrack es uno de mis favoritos ! me hace recordar mucho a las escaramusas k nos tirabamos contra la alianza =) enjoy !

[bulle7]

Listening to this music made me get WC2 and finish it all from the start... epic...

[GReaper88]

Man, I still remember when I used to get an army of ogres then send them charging in while lusted... There were no survivors (Except my ogres :D)

[PitchDaddy]

This was the time when you got boner for your kroner...

[epirvsflavivs]

01:35 - transcendent

[ekipel]

This really is one of the most nostalgic music pieces ever heard in the games!!!

[VoxAcies]

"WE DID IT."

[Astartes94]

agreed, many were the days that i was sitting at my comp, laughing manically as i razed the puny human's city to the ground. *sigh*

[ComboTroop]

"This way! No That way"

[rylasasin]

*FART* huhuhuhuhuhuh

[bulle7]

I'm alive!

[thec00k]

I gat axe for ya!

Wocha wamme kill?

Say hello to my lille friend!

[Melenonel]

I liked the Wacraft 3 game, what idd made it less good compared to WC2 is the song, the action and the heroes and how "happy" this was compared to the dark and twisted (YET) more glorius and awsome of the atmosphere of the second game.

The Orc heroes and such were just 100% badass and the Alliance heroes were cool as hell and I fucking love the paladins there, THAT is what I call paladin and now the fuck tards in WoW today cause I fucking Love paladin but Blizzard fucked em good in time....

[Nethrezar]

Everything in WC2 was better. Back then, the Alliance Paladins were awesome; they reminded me of Batman. And the Horde was really badass, not all "peaceful and nature-loving" like the politcally-correct shit they have in WoW.

[Tigerknigt]

@Nethrezar totally true. bloody thursty ogre's and death knights killing everything.. fire spitting dragons.. tutrle subs, brilliant things. the horde should be nothing then brutal or savage. it's what makes them fun! .. the blood lust sound never got old WHALALALALLA! (or something xD)

[xxxx85]

Hehe, the horde are even more brute and savage in Warcraft 1! Kind of crappy that they moved away from that direction, orcs are meant to be thirsty for BLOOD!

[ric0h]

Batman? How is that? :D

yeah, they made the Horde some tree hugging iditos in WC3 and beyond.

[TerranMarineCore]

thats because there going back to their shamanistic roots. in warcraft 2, they were blood thirsty demons lead by selfish orc leaders. thrall learned about his original culture and restore what his race used to be and not the violent orcs the alliance portrays them to be..

[harlequin2262]

@ric0h

Not even remotely true. They turned them back into a proper warrior culture, not demon slaves. They had Shamans, sure, but they were as likely to headbutt you then blow you to pieces as they were to smoke the peace pipe.

[VideoGamer869]

@Nethrezar Garrosh took over they are now a lot more like WC2 with a few morals from Thrall still in them.

[bhurzuluth]

@VideoGamer869

But Doomhammer and Thrall are badass. Garrosh is just an "Ogre-headed buffon".

[VideoGamer869]

@bhurzuluth lol props for that.

Thrall was cool but Badass is an exaggeration. Garrosh is badass and the #1 Warchief.

[bhurzuluth]

@VideoGamer869

Garrosh badass? Emo kid in BC, then "I hate Alliance with no reason" and as a Warchief? He killed Cairne, and that kinda ruined the relationships between Orcs and Tauren, Sylvanas calls him an idiot (with good reason), Vol'Jin wants to kill him... Garrosh is ruining the Horde.

[VideoGamer869]

@bhurzuluth Thrall talked Vol'jin into liking Garrosh. Sylvannas was being reckless and needs strict supervision and little freedom/authority so yeah she's gonna be pissed. Cairne he was old...he was gonna die in a few years anyway. (Yeah I can't justify that one). Garrosh has lead the most sucessful Horde campaign since the First War. Not to mention he cured all poverty in the Horde. Yes he was emo in BC. Also he hates anyone who openly threatens his people namely the Alliance.

[DarkDemon677]

@VideoGamer869 Let's just say Blackhand is far greater than the idiots mentioned here.

[1993gtx]

@Nethrezar I WC2 I used to fear the horde... Not the case in newer games.

[Enfeeblement]

The orcs are ready for war!

[eznobile]

We are under attack!!

[genocide98]

Well the Orc you play in War3 are 'good' orcs, not bloodlusted hate everything kill-kill-kill power greed might skull fuck you die orcs like warcraft and warcraft 2.

[Golemoid]

Warcraft 3 was a soil for WoW.

[hoboterror]

Im ready, IM NOT ready!

[Dklonmy]

Warcraft 2 is better than all the other warcraft games seriously. It was more massive, great and glorious.

Gotta love Warcraft 2.

[IkbenAlphastar]

I like this soundtrack the best of all warcraft 2 soundtracks. And that's saying alot, cause it really is a goldmine :)

[thedonoftrek]

Nostalgic rush!!!!

[Anmatuur]

Throw Axe?

[Nethrezar]

I call this song "Air Raid".

[LoriusCy]

i call this sea raid lol

[Vembumees]

WoW has environmental music. Having such heroic music 24/7 is retarded.

[asa411]

*FART*

"WE DID IT!"

[bansnegor]

*I GAD AX FOR YOU!*

[hoboterror]

these tracks are even more enjoyable in all their greatness when playing the actual game. I have the original 1995 cd, but it wont run normally on my new compi, with windows Xp. I already tried making it run with windows95 compatibility. Any ideas?

[alampandatennisrack]

get old pc

[dbkai75]

Just buy the Bnet edition.. it's not that expansive for that great game..

[2mp2Studios]

Done! ^^ hehe, worth every single penny (øre)

[LegrandStefan]

Try dosbox

[gronndar]

wc 2 music is so epic, it really makes you feel like you are on the battlefield and all that. but wc 3 music was so...boring and sleepy, well at least it wasnt hard to fall asleep when you listened wc 3 music

[F0nkyNinja]

you mean wc 2 music lol

[gronndar]

no, i mean wc 3 music. it was boring to compared to this shit

[F0nkyNinja]

oh yeah i read it the wrong way

[HakoneDrift]

i really wonder why they werent able to do better with wc3 music..

[khatack]

What are you kidding? WC3 music is great.

[KittenKiller]

But not better.

[khatack]

That depends on the viewpoint. Music is a large part of the overall feel of a game, and frankly while these WC2 songs are great I doubt they would've fir the themes and the story of WC3.

Still I would kill to hear these while playing orcs in WC3. An insect that is, I would kill an insect. Or my neighbour's cat, that little pest keeps crapping on my lawn.

[RofloI3east]

I personaly love the WC3 music....

WC3 just tried to make the game more.... epic?

Though it still can't beat such a classic as this =P

[MikeyMaranara]

Agreed, this music was def the best type of war music. U knew u were in trouble wen the music got diesal and u heard the lust from a mile away. These were the good ol days

[vegeta353658]

How do you upload WC2 music?

[Rizekrow]

Amazing.

[StationaryHawk]

Well played.

[mazemaster225]

This is the greatness

[meximaya]

The reason this music stands for its time and dominates every other warcraft theme is because of the layered production. The subtle harpsichord runs that sneak in create a paranoid sense of urgency and focus, and the tuning of the tympani and the choir is spot on for the driving mood...what can I say, just an amazingly composed and produced piece, especially since it's MIDI! They should orchestrate these old themes for WoW and put them in BGs or cutscenes. WoW music is mediocre in comparison.

[GuiLingKwek]

wow u rock lol i cant tell anything from this piece of music except it rocks. dont know anything about mood driving and harpsichords.

[xarcosis]

You ruined an otherwise perfect comment with the last sentence. Mediocre!? Wat.

[meximaya]

Well I take that back, WotLK and some BC has incredible music...but I stand by my comment that Pre-BC WoW music is mediocre...just listen to Ironforge theme...really lame

[Grumpyama]

You couldn't say it better ...! A real music connaisseur.

[pheut]

WoW Pre-BC music is one reason why so many people stayed in the game. Don't go out of nowhere and tell me Stormwind music is trash. Same as Darnassus.. Not only because they ruined Ironforge (in your opinion) and made so many other good songs makes the music in Pre-Bc mediocre.

[insanehamster]

He didn't say that WoW music was trash, he said it was mediocre, there's a big difference.

And I must agree with him, compared to music from Warcraft 2, WoW music IS mediocre.

These are freakin MIDI files and they are still better, due to the fact that it's composed well.

Most WoW music is... flavourless in comparison (note that I say in comparison, NOT in general) to this.

[BGSoccerMagic]

WOW music was written under the supervision of the same composer who created the WC2 tracks. It is definately NOT crap. WC2 music owns, so does WC3's music, and so does WOW's, period.

FOR DA HORDE!!!

[insanehamster]

The fact that is the same composer does not change the fact that WoW music is rather mediocre in comparison.

Still, WoW music is not bad.

[Ksupy247]

yeah the alliance have "decent" music. I guess to todays standards. BUT you can't touch this old school shit! Yeah they need to put these songs in WOW!

[ShaithMaster]

@meximaya well put.. most people wouldn't even notice the harpsichord in the background unless you point it out to them.. there's also the chorus.. I think nowadays its too easy to put out a soundtrack, so it's not as creative

[MarkPanghy]

the cutscenes/cinematics in this game are awesome, because Blizzard can make a game great like that in 90's... GREAT!

[giovanni0070]

es mejor warcraf 3

[Orvarionda]

haven't heard this theme in like 10 years

[ApartGentleman]

So full of great heroism!

[AidanMclaren]

EPIC!!!

[ChaosCaesar]

oh mummy T.T

Why most of every warcraft song n theme is so good???

[ShareV0k]

2:04 The best Part of the Theme...

[Taking1n1]

This sucks alot

[0RobinHood1]

yes.like you.

[viking11234]

一种记忆！

很怀念！

[saanichprince]

I cast haste and unholy armor on myself before rushing into mcdonalds for a big mac.

[Fenixias]

*fg*

[TheSweetSpirit]

@saanichprince LOL!

[printz150]

There's this odd oboe part (1:37) which appears again in the Terran third soundtrack...

[tempest5485]

Hey ! Can anyone remember what Danath was saying??

[BGSoccerMagic]

"draw steel, boys"

"step aside, junior"

"need something?"

"what?"

[determinizm]

"Step aside, junior!"

"Draw steel, boys!" ;)

[Pimmeez]

hahaha

[hansonslee]

"Maaaaaaaaaaaake it quick."

"Of course, Masterrrr."

Got to love those death knights. ;D

[MPMlynk]

"I'm aliiive"

[z4x0s]

actually it's " "mmmmmmmmmmaaake it quick"....xD :-D !!!!

[CaliforniaTD]

Oh man, WarCraft. I loved that series to bits. I was a serious StarCraft fan who didn't broaden his horizons to the fantasy genre. Then I felt compelled to buy WarCraft III, introducing me to the franchise. It's a big, crying shame that Blizzard sold the series out with World of WarCraft.

[StationaryHawk]

@CaliforniaTD Warcraft switched game genres. That's all. The story is still there, though many people neglect to see it as Warcraft.

Blizzard felt that having one RTS game was good enough for them.

[Cocarat206]

I LOVED the Orcs up until WoW...Now they're hippies! D:

[TingeGnome]

These songs bring back so many memories. This song with Grom Hellscream going "Time to DIE!"... My favourite character ever since I saw his blood soaked jaw and heard his deadly voice.

[haavar90]

yeah!! he was great, dont forget Dentag-"we dont understand" and Kargath Bladefist-"do u feel lucky PUNK!"

[hansonslee]

"SLICE AND DICE!"

"TAKE IT!"

"TELL ME WHAT TO DO???!!!"

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?"

"YESSSSSSS?"

Gosh, the voice of Hellscream in WWII sounded like a badass killer. It was definitely better than the WWIII voice. =/

[Xhokky]

lol he was still the most badass character in War3 anyways :P Arthas and Illidan get ruled out cause they got whored out by WoW

[Robofish12]

Ahh, the memories... This game came out when I was only 6 or so and I remember absolutely loving the game from the get go! I loved the "I'm Alive!" death knights and "We're ready master; I'm not ready!" Ogres. WoW cannot compare with this game, and these songs mean a lot to me because I love the game so much. I get the shiver of great memories and power when I hear these songs.

[MPMlynk]

I was 8 when i saw my brother playing this game and it was something out of this world for me at the time. I feel exactly like you.

[matho88]

I love so much these soundtracks, reminds me so many things, we used to hear it when we were young... definitely a myth,1 of the best PC game :)

[hmmsmellslikefish]

warcraft 2 is still the best

[MPMlynk]

THE FUCKIN MANLIEST SOUNDTRACK EVAH!!!!!

Listening to this grants you the holy balls of steel and titanium chest hair..

[irkiIIer]

lol

[BGSoccerMagic]

Anytime I hear the beginning of this theme I could almost see The Horde steamrolling down the Alliance defence lines.

[HypotheticalMuffins]

Boy, if only I could say how much I love Warcraft 2....then you would all understand how amazing these songs are for me.

[brainspillerzzz]

believe me i do understand as do many as do many

my heart feels wierd when i listen to these songs

[HypotheticalMuffins]

Ditto...

[Mcyoussef]

i do feel it! it gives me a strange but very rare feeling. i cant discripe it tbh :( ITS AWSOME!

[Florian88]

yeah this music gives me the same adrealine it gave me when i was like 7 when i played the game

[saanichprince]

These old soundtracks are about 100x better than the stupid Orgrimmar theme in WoW.

[mjdonnari]

ready to work! aguanten los orcos

[nebfer]

My favorite Orc Track.

[Krzyek]

Great theme!

[JMR6916]

love timpanis, sounds mean:P

[balderdash707]

agh, timpanis give me shivers. In 6th (5th?) grade I was in an orchestra and had to do a pair of giant rolls at the very beginning of a song. I was so shy at the time that I was deathly afraid. Even though I did it successfully at the concert, I never managed to get over it.

[feng456]

mustve been tramautic.

for me it would have to be getting raped by my priest...on both ends...AT THE SAME TIME.

[frontliner2]

What is a Timpanis?

[azzathe2]

Timpani are great big drums that are played in orchestras. Can be called kettle drums. Best instrument in the orchestra!

[halskarl]

I love that harpsichord...

[Nighwalkers]

B_B_B_B_B_B_B_B_BESTEST!

[ShadowBlv]

best orc theme
