  • more than a decade later, and this is still stuck in my head

    

  • My favorite :D I like WoW but war never felt so nightmarish...

  • I play WC2 and WC3 and as far as pure strategy gameplay goes, WC2 wins.

  • Damn, fuck the new Warcraft.

    Warcraft is one of many examples of new school versions ruining it. We as REAL gamers need to unite against this attack on quality!

  • "We need more food, kill humans"

  • Human 1 and Orc 1 are the best musical compositions I have ever heard

  • Warcraft 2--best music of entire Blizzard series. Warcraft 2 was better, IMO, than WoW--except for a couple WoW songs that were very good. Thanks for posting this.

  • @CalcryxtheDragon

    Yes, I agree. It has this old school charm about it. WoW music is just amazing Orchestra, of course it's great but it can't reach Warcraft 2's feel.

  • @ObiMace Maybe you would feel differently if you played WoW when you were a child? Just a though?

  • @Antichrist2000

    Probably. But Nostalgia isn't really a factor with this either, since it hasn't been that long since I played Warcraft II.

  • orc music >> human music

  • @rajajonconcon

    It should be obvious, since Orcs >> Humans :P

    Let's face it: Orcs are the BADASS race of the Warcraft universe

  • @bhurzuluth Aren't they the badass race of any universe?

  • @rajajonconcon I think it's the other way. Human Music >> Orc Music, but opinions are opinions.

  • AMAZING flute @ 1:43 !!! pure nostalgy! love it..

  • I must say Warcraft 3 is childish compared to a game like Warcraft 2

  • @0zzy07

    you mean that warcraft 2, where units would start farting when you clicked on them often enough?

  • @0zzy07 How is it childish please, tell us?

  • Warcraft 2 has the best soundtrack on the world.

    Starcraft I and II or Warcraft 3 are shits if you compare the music with Warcraft 2.

  • @rascateelojete I don't know about that. Sc1 has pretty nostalgic music. But yeah Wc3 is just.. no

  • for those that have also this hapsicord waves carved forever into their memory, the .mid has a much clearer hapsicord along with a faster beat, the .mp3 version is no match to it

  • Warcraft 2 > 1 & 3 & WoW

  • WC2 has best game music/sounds ever. This gives me chills coz WC2 was pretty much the first videogame i ever played. And it was epic. And it still is after 14 years

  • This really lets you know that big mean things are coming to kill you, but in a totally medieval fantasy sort of way. And that's badass.

  • work work

  • Roland Sound Canvas SC-88, ladies and gentlemen. Google it if you don't know what I'm talking about.

  • @jbltecnicspro All I have to say to you is thank you so much. I will sail to the ends of the earth if I have to. I will obtain one of these.

  • @thedonoftrek Actually, Ebay is your best bet. Know that there are other variations of the Sound Canvas line. The cheapest one, the SC-55 will very properly render the game midi files (though it won't sound 100% like the CD Soundtrack). For information on how it does WarCraft 2 - look it up on Youtube - there should be some examples.

    The SC-88pro is a much more advanced version of the SC-88 - with tons of other Japanese game MIDIs that take advantage of it. I personally have....

  • ... The SC-8850 and SC-55.

    SC-55 are $100-$150 (these are the General MIDI game standard from back in the day).

    SC-88 are $200-$250 (I'd recommend this model the most for games and MIDI listening)

    SC-88pro is $300-$350 (this is the top of the line I'd recommend for casual use)

    SC-8850 and SC-8820 are $500 and around $400 respectively. The 8850 is a monster and you'll likely never need its advanced features. Hope this helps!

  • @jbltecnicspro Thanks so much for all of the info! :)

  • OH my god... not even rabid fans of warhammer fantasy could dislike this. must be alliance scum

  • 11 people got killed by peasants

  • I feel that Blizzard made a bi mistake by passing up this time period for the setting of their MMO. This is the time where the Alliance and Horde were at their prime and no place was safe for either side. While Post Frozen Throne was still good, I think considerable effort should be given into making a Pre-WC3 MMO on their part...or atleast allowing someone to. The story here is just too epic to let fade away.

  • This reminds me my chilhood, what a wonderful game! Warcraft FTW !

  • @jesseleboss Indeed. Classic.

  • Funny thing I was 5 years old when iheard this the first time, and i did not develop an interest in music until about 7 years ago. WHO WROTE THIS MUSIC?!!? please anyone!! Tell me!!!!

  • @Hverglemer Glenn Stafford, if my intel is correct.

  • @kilmone

    Thank you! Is this available for downloading somewhere?

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

  • best track in the game IMO

  • Why does no one put music like this in games anymore? :(

  • Gah, Warcraft 2 and Diablo 2 was the shit man! loved playing those games

  • I love the flute(s)

  • yeah this is the best war2 theme thx for upload

  • How many of you have not played in WC2? and still feel that music?

  • Warcraft 2 themes were really war based, which makes them REALLY good. Damn I remember playing this game when I was like 3-5 years old with all the cheats on lol

  • Its 2011 and I still love this game!!!

  • Harpsichord at 2:30 gives me chills

  • HOYL SHIT im freaking out i LVOE this one!!

  • Gettin' down on that harpsichord...I fucking love the harpsichord.

  • Hell yeah! this is old school Warcraft here. us 90's ppl will know it. All you WoW nerds don't know what real Warcraft is. WoW is something else, which I ain't playing.

    Screw WoW, Old school Warcraft ftw!

  • @Delta0prative Besides me of course. Playing the games since Warcraft 1 and now into World of Warcraft. Though recently it's started to get...to that point, where Blizzard is just milking the game for money, adding on one convoluted plot point after another to keep it going. I'm a Warcraft fan for life though, that's never going to change.

  • @Delta0prative i love you :)

  • @Delta0prative played warcraft  since i was 4, still love it.... been playing WoW from 05 till about a month ago ... love it

  • @balcknightnub1 Lol i also played WCII when i was 4 on my dads pc.

  • @Delta0prative you are right, i loved to play against my older brother and win in wc2 :D

  • omg!!! memories that,, I have done many hours listening to this music

  • Whenever I listen to this, I picture an orchestra with few ogres hammering away on bass drums, orcs playing the cellos, violins and other strings, goblins playing the woodwinds, and a troll shredding away on a harpsichord =P

  • YOUR COMMAND MASTER! HUHHUHHUUU?! DAABU! JOHNSON! LOCTAR!

  • amazing harpsichord 0:24

  • Lok'fuck"

  • I have the Bnet edition of WC2 and it rocks. The only thing is that it ALWAYS plays the same music! Im sooo tired of hearing this one! I didnt even find it on the wc2 soundtracks which is weird...

  • sumthing be dooing??

  • I hear clearly "GLOCKTAAARR"

  • Zug-Zug.

    Swobu.

    Lok'tar!

  • @InfernoInfernal hahahahaha awesomeness

  • You know whats awesome ?

    Play Warcraft 2 soundtrack and Age Of empires 2

  • @frustratedgamerguy haha i like the way you think

  • Easily the best song in WC2

  • I just hope Blizzard goes back to their original roots when (if) they make Warcraft 4.

    WoW is something entirely different. It sucks.

  • Zog-Zog

    

  • @darkstein3 ITS ZUG-ZUG NOT ZOG-ZOG... HE IS A HUMAN SPY KILL HIM!

  • @CodeMedina Oh shit! They got me! Run!

  • @CodeMedina LOL!

  • Lol, don't argue which game is better. Diablo I & II are awesome, Sc & Bw are awesome, Warcraft I & II are awesome. Warcraft III is ok at best but everything past WoW is a huge meh.

  • epic

  • "mehihihi that tickels" :D

  • THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE - PERIOD.

  • Lok‘tar Ogar !!! For the Horde !!

  • At least blizzard sticks to their own products compared to EA Games. Even if they're "ruining their lore," least it's not other peoples hard work. ex.(EA practically destroyed everything Westwood Studios stood for)

    Problem with Blizzard is they can't make a decent story at all. WC3 was their best on-going story, but SC2 is in line to be considered one of the worst game stories ever told. The gameplay is fun, SC2s multi-player is epic, but the single-players story was just garbage.

  • @RetlocLive Which is really a shame, because BW actually had a very well thought out storyline, despite the technical shortcomings.

  • @Bookster343 SC2s story failed as it did because Blizzard tried to incorporate 5 separate mini-plots into a single-player that was only about 27ish missions. The plots just didn't last long enough to acually go anywhere interesting.

    Take Tosh's missions for example, first two missions your just collecting items which will make his spectres but then it starts to pick up at the Breakout mission. Then it just...ends afterwards, right as the plot was finally getting interesting.

  • @Bookster343 I mean, here ya are. You breakout all these people that stood up against the Dominion, you enter this epic cutscene between Tosh, Matt and Raynor about what theyre gunna do now and it just feels like its going somewhere epic.

    Nope...Tosh's story gets cut off right there. Right when your FINALLY interested.

  • @RetlocLive The notion that SC2s single player story was bad is just your very subjective opinion. Many people including myself loved the story, and the reviews it got all raved about how immersive and brilliant the single player story actually was so I don't know where you're getting your data. In any case to say "the single-players story was just garbage," is your opinion, and is not in fact, fact.

  • @ViaSlashNBurn and many people hated it -_-

    im one of them

  • Orcs are just cooler

  • 5/4 music, just like the in LOTR, ... the orc's song too !!!

  • Alright Peons, get busy in the mines and chop those trees!!!

  • It is a good day to die.

  • @Snoofalah onscreen, hatchet, black sheep wall...oh wait wrong game :P

  • ZUG ZUG!

  • super utworek i łza w oku ;)

  • I like the 5/4 time signature at the beginning. You don't here that every day.

  • @Audiomancer hear, even. Nice spelling mistake, huh?:)

  • Comment removed

  • never ever seen such a nice number in any other video.

    There we have it again, the horde is great.

  • wtf 111111 views right now...

  • Comment removed

  • @TheTwilightUnicorn Of course youtube is bugged.

  • A lot of these Warcraft 2 tracks sound very Baroque... I love it

  • All they have to do is incorporate this music into wow but make it slower, epic, and atmospheric like most of wow's music.

  • Lok'Narash!

  • zug zug

  • Epic. Those were the days.

  • work complete!

  • @10564 New troll here!

    What you wan'me kill?

  • @upsednieks

    XD XD XD

    ready to work.

    THEY'RE DESTROYING OUR CITY!

  • "Zug Zug"

  • this would be such a sweet ringtone

  • @Mrcastona i actually use it as a ringtone :P

  • @NeoDragonCount im sorry its just that world of warcraft changes the mood of the original warcraft, im just sad that they wouldnt make a warcraft 4

  • strange how the orcs treat theyr leaders with more respect that the humans to theirs, especially the sailors on the destroyers O_o probably becos of fear >:)

  • There is absolutely no excuse as to why WoW can't have music as good as this.

  • @Nethrezar Dont worry. some areas in cataclysm have good music like twilight highlands is some pretty good music.

  • @Nethrezar i saw an interview about that :(!!! wow says music shouldnt be what drives a game and that it gets in the way :(!!! so they tone it down, i was like WTF ASS HOLES!!! imagen this playing in ogrimmar while banking :D!!!

  • this game made me buy an SB AWE32 soundcard back in the old days.

    wargasm at 1:40!!

  • You must construct additional pig farms. Amidoinitrite?

  • 9 VOTES FROM JUSTIN BIEBER FANS

  • Goddd this track makes me wanna play Wc2 Again...Blizz needs to make that apart of their digital games.

  • i love this track the most!

  • all that WoW hating here is just stupid... i get it, people need to show how oldschool they are, no problem.

    personally, i prefer enjoying the great memories this wc2 music brings me AND the awesome new blizzard games at the same time. definitely more fun than living in the past while hating the present.

  • @Caminacels i agree i used to love this but wow is a totally diff game, but none the less it's a good game.

  • @Caminacels you're totally right. Blizz just dont make bad games. All hail to WoW and Starcraft 2 and D3 soon xD ! BTW playing SC2 with War2 soundtrack is just plain awesomeness

  • @n1ckJ11

    uhh, i do believe that... i saw HuskyStarcraft doing this in one of his videos a few days ago. is there some cool way to be able to listen to the WC2 soundtrack in SC2 (like some secret ingame option or something)? or do you just have to put the music on in the background?

  • @Caminacels you have to put in background, try a playlist in youtube :)

  • @Caminacels Actually, since I do make maps on SC2, and I love Husky Starcraft, you can actually alter a map to play a specific soundtrack, I tested it out, I downloaded the song like this one and imported it into the map and had this music playing on a loop while I made a melee map, was totally fun, but other then that, I can't think of a way to add it into SC2 itself

  • @TheTehVoid

    i see... they should make the wc2 soundtrack available in every blizzard game. :)

  • @Caminacels They totally should, This music just fits with everything xD

  • @TheTehVoid Wait... So... Because you love husky starcraft and make maps on the SC2 editor, you can make a map play a specific song? What about those of us who prefer day[9]? Or PsiStarcraft? What powers do THEY confer onto their believers?

  • My reason for disliking WoW is related to the way that it messed with the continuity of the series. And the story also did a lot of other things I didn't like. I wouldn't mind it if it weren't for that, but then again, Blizzard is apparently fond of retcons, so I shouldn't say I'm surprised... XD

  • @Caminacels Its because in the present the blizzard game creators are kinda losing their minds, im sorry

  • @smaoproducts

    i don't want to offend you, but according to your channel you're 15... how are you even able to judge if the people at blizzard are doing a worse job compared to their past accomplishments? i mean you were like 10 when WoW came out, 3 when starcraft came out and about to be born or maybe even not born yet when warcraft 2 came out... again, don't take this personally, i was just wondering. ;)

  • @Caminacels I don't know a lot about the past blizzard games i admit it, its just the old games are classic and i don't like the fact that they are making a new game called the world of world of warcraft

  • @smaoproducts

    well sure the old games are classics, but that doesn't mean the new ones are bad. in fact, i'm pretty sure games like WoW or Starcraft2 will also earn the status of classic (if they haven't already).

    as to the "world of world of warcraft" game you mentioned... i have never heard about that and, to be honest, it seems like a pretty silly name/concept for a game... i don't think it's true. ;)

  • @Caminacels Uhhh Startcraft 2 ,yes a classic.But an online MMORPG such as WoW?I dont think so bub.

    WoW has become an abomination for little kids making them think they know shit and alike.

    Plus,It doesnt deserve to be such a big franchise,To me warcraft 3 reign of chaos will always be the best and the last.I think blizzard should ve stopped it there without making a never ending game.

    My opinion,but an online MMORPG will never be a classic cos there are many free MMORPGs out there BETTER .

  • @Ryuuusa oke if you can name me a few of those awesome free MMO's. cause ive tried a lot of em but I've never seen one that is better then WoW in terms of gameplay.

  • @Ryuuusa i liked warcraft 2 the best

  • @Caminacels AND in 3D and in various game play styles.So I think WoW is just goin to be a game stuck in the middle of a big desert soon.

  • @Ryuuusa

    i don't agree. and i think anyone who tries to look at wow in a objective way will have no choice but to acknowledge how awesome this game has been and still is.

    you know, i stopped playing wow when starcraft 2 came out and, at the moment, i have no intention of playing again... after 5 or 6 years of nonstop WoW, i got tired of it. nevertheless, i must say it's been one of the best games i've ever played and i'm happy to have done so.

  • @Caminacels then you have missed out on many other mmorpgs cos WoW ,to any other MMORPG player out there like me,would know its just as much as any 3D mmorpg can get to.Moreover,the P2P limitation isnt really attractive to games anymore.Cash shops,offers thats how others make cash and they are getting famous.

    WoW isnt the only great 3D mmorpg out there anymore is what im saying .

  • @smaoproducts lol the world of world of warcraft, yeah dude I could never get into World of Warcraft I like RTS games more

  • @shanesboard Thank you! :)

  • @Caminacels I am a mere by-stander here but, even though this lad may only be 15, he may be clever. I know it's not commonly spoken of but some15 year old "kids" have common sence and logic.

    And anyone with common sense and logic knows gameplay over graphics and would be able to tell the difference from past games to the present once.

    And the past was better, I agree on this point, for me the diablo 2 LoD was the highrise of their career.

    And i loved it. But they still are better then most.

  • @dannes22

    i never said he wasn't clever or that he didn't have common sense and logic. the reason why i talked about his age was that he was very young when these games came out (wc2, starcraft, diablo etc)... so how can he really judge if they were better than blizzard's new games? he most certainly never played them as actively as the older players among us. again, it was not my intention to flame him as a stupid kid, wich i'm sure he isn't.

  • @Caminacels Alright, my mistake of thinking you did, my apologies.

  • @Caminacels This!

  • @Caminacels Couldn't agree more with ya, bro' !

  • @Caminacels Agreed. You've gotta be able to disinguish a good game from a bad game, regardless of it's time of creation.

  • @Caminacels everyone knows starcraft is and always will be blizzards best creation.

  • @youngice604 I disagree, Diablo was a masterpiece.

  • @ProtossHydralisk Diablo III should rock everyone's socks off.

  • @ProtossHydralisk Quite ironic... ProtossHydralisk prefers Diablo over Starcraft. :D

  • @TheTwilightUnicorn I made this before I was really into Diablo. But good eye, sir.

  • @Caminacels

    You're an idiot. Blizzard is one of these days large fucking jokes in the gaming world, owned by Activision. It's the same with EA. Everything they touch now turns to crap. I'd be seriously surprised if anything turns out to be different about Diablo 3.

    The (new) CEO even said himself that Blizzard doesn't make games to be fun. They make games to sell in as large quantities as possible. And that goal alone rarely makes for a genuinely fun game or an out-of-the-box mindset..

  • @xxxx85

    calm down, man. all that rage can't be good for you.

  • Sounds like you're the idiot. The new CEO wouldn't know a fun game if it jumped up and bit him square in the ass. If Blizzard didn't make enjoyable games then explain how there's well over 10 million people still playing their products?

  • @xxxx85 you're an idiot.

  • @Caminacels Yeah, you 90s people are trapped in time huhuhuh.

  • Warcraft 2 was the shit

  • @ConsolixD omfg u called warcraft 2 shit u asshole its goldenshit :(

  • Warcraft 2 beats warcraft 1 and 3, and wipes its ass with World of Warcraft !!

  • zuk zuk, dabu

  • I love the harpischord in the background

  • You know... It really is impossible to compare WC2 with WoW. They are two completely different game genres, MMO and RTS. They are both excellent games in their own right. It's like comparing ping-pong to soccer, absolutely nonsensical.

  • @tropix93 it is about the continuity of the game... The RTS warcraft was a success, because RTS players made it, and now they've gone and changed it into an MMO. That is what sucks about WoW.

  • @victorgeniu5

    Yes, that is true that it is quite a turn from the other games. It's true that that pissed off a lot of the traditional RTS players. But that is not reason to discredit the game as an MMO. Because it's a great game as an MMO, just like the first three were great games as RTS games. While it's a major twist in the style of the games, it's still awesome for it's type.

  • @tropix93 yeap, exactly my thoughts

  • Absolutely brilliant song from an incredible soundtrack, videogame songs were so much more distinctive and unique back then, I severed my ties with Watcraft after 2 but I'm going to give 3 another shot shortly.

  • Dear fellow classics man/woman...

    stick with the classics, trust me... the newer games seem fun for a while... and this may just be me... but when i went back to the classics, being reminded of some of them after quite long i found them lacking... somehow losing the magic they had 15 years ago...

    I really dont know how to explain it properly but i guess its similar to "The grass is greener on the other side"

    it can be just me though...

  • @renegadeh I feel the exact same way but I swear it's not just nostalgia, shit just isn't as good these days.

  • @DANW547 definitely do it wc 3 is a great game

  • "We got explosives!"

    "Kaboom!"

  • WarCraft II will always be better then WOW. I still play this game on a regular basis. WOW is not all that great. ZUG ZUG

  • The orcs have better music then the humans HAHA!!

  • My fav part of this is 1:45 - 2:00.

  • @iCommentatez

    100% agree - The epicness itself!
