  • 4:32 that clavichord part is so fucking legendary!

  • Wc2 to Wc3 marks a shift where Blizzard (and other companies) wanted music to be more ambient and in the background. These tracks are proof of how wrong that was

  • WC2 was good for its time, but compared to modern standards, not a stellar game, but musically, it was leaps and bounds more interesting than any wacraft that followed.

  • Always loved 2:09 ! Played in the WC3 B.Net Menus and Durnhold in WoW. Blizz clearly likes this song. Hopefully it makes it into WC4.

  • @asshole9191 you can download the full warcraft ii campaign on uTorrent (in russian) and the battle net version from war 2 server . ru

  • lok tar ...... zug zug

  • I WANT WC2... i haven't played for about 8 years and i don't have the cd (which wasn't original) anymore...

    i'd really love to own the game but on amazon it costs about 20€ and i'm just a poor pupil -.-

  • @asshole9191 Theres a free version.

  • I remember going to a video game store with my dad when I was 8 and picking up this game. Still have the CD-ROM! Epic memories from this and WC1 before it!

  • @AsbestosLLJK you still have the cd-rom thats amazing

  • @ericdisney1 I even have the manual! :D 

  • @llamaboy419 Wc2Combat edition is where I have been playing, Like Louie said, it doesn't have the campaign, my friends and I have been playing recently. you should grab it (It's free) and play.

  • @SAGE221 your friends play this? what do you mean

  • @ericdisney1 My friends and I play Wc2, it's very fun.

  • aaah, sweet memories. they don't make music like this these days. it's sad.

  • @Lackesse lol these days. its just cheap eletronic midi music. i prefer real musical scores.

  • @ericdisney1 It doesn't matter if it's ''only'' midi music. Composition (song writing) and atmosphere (fitting in) are attributes of quality music which I truly admire in PC music, not quality of sound. TBH i'm pretty bored about new 2005-2012 music in games, still the same instruments, very similiar arrangements and production. sry for English

  • @Lackesse OK, I grew up with games like Warcraft 1, 2, the original Prince of Persia etc... but I feel you're a bit biased by nostalgia. Yes, this music is awesome and atmospheric (my favorites being TES 2: Daggerfall and Baldur's Gate 2 OST)... but the music from new games, such as DA:Origins, Skyrim, and even RTS titles like Starcraft 2 are fucking amazing... and so much more superior than these old ones!

  • @Surakemastura I dunno, dude. Superior for you, maybe. Starcraft 2? music from the first part was better, imo. Right now I'm playing DA: Origins, although the music is fine, it's not mind-blowing. I haven't played Skyrim, yet. You're right, I'm a bit nostalgic, but that doesn't change anything. Good music is good music. My favs (Fallout 1, 2, Deus Ex) But hey, It's my opinion and I'm glad you like Baldur's Gate and old Warcrafts. cheers, dude

  • @Surakemastura

    They're technically superior, perhaps, but in terms of actually being interesting, and fun to listen to? I'd say WC2 music still wins. It's just real heroic music. They had less to work with then, so it's almost like they worked and got more out of the limited space and format they had.

    It's pure, raw heroic, menacing fun. I feel I will always appreciate WC2 music over any of the more modern WC music, and I dont feel that's tainted by nostalgia.

  • one of my favorite game ever... When Warcraft was dark and bloddy

  • epic music is epic

  • Warcraft II : just epic.

  • Most awesome things of wc2 were the music and the illustrations in the manual.

    harpsichord FTW!!!

  • why is it the game of the year? are you kidding? its the game of ALL THE TIME

  • warcraft II has the best music. AND PEOPLE! I FOUND WARCRAFT 2 IN uTORRENT DL IT!

  • @arthur121xD Server dot War2 dot RU is where everyone who still plays warcraft 2 plays. The website has a free download of the game called War2Combat but it doesn't have the campaign just scenarios and online play.

  • @LouieO1988 i told ya i found the campaign on uTorrent but its russian

  • @arthur121xD I said download war2combat as well because that's where people play it online...

  • Oh, Warcraft used to be so damn wicked! Fuck Night Elves. 

  • WC2 + 20%Pitch..

    to my expertly tuned ears this song sounds off.. too high pitched

  • que vi deo mas redicolo

  • Guys, I remember this one time that I got nostalgic, it was amazing. I was remembering stuff as if it was happening right now! All because of a familiar sound combined with a whiff of a recognizable smell!

  • I'm so glad I was born early enough to experience warcraft 2 and other awesome games from the 90s and feel the nostalgy.. I feel sad for people who think wow, cod mw, etc. are the best games ever made..

  • @Uuppi dont feel sorry for people. every one is different person.

  • Btw this music is familiar but I've never played WC II, where would I have heard it?

  • @Jijheoo 2nd song is also in warcraft 3, maybe you heard it there?

  • Damn....Id like it!...Pozdrawiam!

  • nvm, found it! its tactical rape time :)

  • LF WC2 servers, can't seem to find any

  • epicness! Will blizzard be able to produce games like this anymore? Diablo and Warcraft 2 were such great games.

  • 6:12 E-P-I-C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

  • is there a name for the part at 7:45, cause I would like to have a better version of that part!

  • Just annoyed that they took down my FUCKING wikipedia entry on this guy. Glenn Stafford. Not the first time. They take down my Tokuhiko Uwabo entry. Why? It was all right. I couldn't find his discography all in one place on the net and there it was. I made it. So it was easy to find.

  • Should Jimmy Wales be murdered?

  • @stalepiewantstotalk To answer my own question, no. 

  • 2 persons didn't get to play Warcraft 2 =(

  • @Xeanorearoh

    More like they were too busy with n00bquest! :P.

  • when you free download warcraft 2 can you play online or do you have to pay to play online ? any help there ?

  • @Scorpios9472 Warcraft 2 online is free.

  • w w w . server . war2 . ru

    Warcraft 2 free download no cd or cd key required to play!

  • кто же этот 1?

  • I always preferred the orcs even though my friend preferred the alliance b/c of how strong the elven archers got after their upgrades.

  • @Guesswork01 the troll got juhst as strong

  • @xpt754 I thought the trolls just got useless regeneration, while the elves got +3 damage.

  • @xpt754 thay did, but if you know how to mikro your units corektly thay are awsome, and the elves only die insted of being able to survive.

  • This music brings back sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many memories! Hours of my childhood.... Thank you so much for posting this epic music!

  • The man who wrote this music is nothing short of brilliant!

  • these songs with a sound blaster card were amazing 

  • Warcraft 2 > Warcraft 3 + WoW

  • @mucasPARTSstudios Totally agree. Warcraft 3 was a letdown for me (no boats or oil and not a "true" RTS) and well I just skipped WoW. Better things to do with my time than kill 8 wolves 5,000,000 times. :)

  • @asteroidminer there is sea, u can create it by youself, and u can find mods also, if u really want, but dude what do oyu mean by not ''true'' RTS? far as i can see it is RTS.

  • @asteroidminer If you think WoW is about killing 5 million wolves you need to stop being an idiot and find your way out of northshire!

  • @Jijheoo Yeah, it is more about giving up your chances of having a genuinely satisfying life and spending hours and hours on end raiding of the stuff that adds nothing to the gameplay. Seriously, there are other monsters than wolves in the game and therefore your argument is invalidated in the true straw man fashion.

    Nah, just joking. Go ahead and enjoy your four-hour raids. :D

  • @mucasPARTSstudios oke its classic but shiiit dont say its better than wc3, cmon all that u can call better is music, teh artwork, and the gameplay u senjoyed playing it as kid, witch is pure nostalgia. but by the 2 other games, wow and wc3, teh same, i quit wow cuz it took too much of my time, but i love to play dota and melee maps online on wc3, and check out stuff that people have created on editor, thoug its a whole different shit. but still Warcraft is EPIC! all of them.

  • @vaajpiens Fok jou jys 'n fokken kont1

  • @mucasPARTSstudios Agreed warcraft 2 >> warcraft 3 >>> Massive Difference!!

  • @mucasPARTSstudios this is so fuckin true

  • @mucasPARTSstudios agree...totally. 2d! come back again...

  • @mucasPARTSstudios Maybe Vanilla wow, but the expansions brought some particularly amazing music.

  • Sick music

    

  • GAME

    OF THE

    FUCKING YEAR

    BITCH

  • @Yosemited I say it still is :)

  • Where is such music in recent games? even Starcraft 2 failed horrible on the music front. This is fucking music, the kings of sparta would shit in their damn pants.

  • @RMJ1984 Starcraft 2's music may have failed, but the gameplay is phenomenal.

    unrivaled.

    a truly epic game

  • the second song still gives me goosebumbs after all those years im going to have to play this game once again ah geez i kinda miss these "old" games warcraft 2 lands of lore diablo oddworld it has grown on to me :'-)

  • It's sad with all the new games coming out that, Diablo 2 & Warcraft 2, still remain the best games ever created.

  • 1:13 EPIC !

  • yess milood ... work work ... :)

  • hell yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a

  • Yeah remebers me my twenties ^^

    I'm now 37 ...

    Started to play warcraft when it came out ...

  • never realized how awesome and how many instruments this game had in it. such a great peice of music

  • roop-tarr

  • 6.20 what it is called? which orc song it is?

  • work

    work

    diggin'

  • 6:10 - 6:54 = Best part of Warcraft II

  • @mickwald yeeeees !! amazing !

  • New troll here!

  • I kinda wish this song would play on WoW, you gather a bunch of your friends who are on the Horde and you're about to do a raid or fight a big enemy. I'd find it fitting and it's be nostalgic.

  • go to server.war2.ru to download warcraft 2 combat edition free download and play free online. Still a good amount of players left

  • @LordYamonWC2 does it cost anything to play online do you know if you can tell me it would be appreciated

    

  • FOR THE HORDE!!

  • with out a doubt the best music for a video game ever.

    I guess the one asshole who clicked 'dislike' is the one douchebag who preferred some gay ass game like KKND or something.

  • Incredible music. What happened Blizzard? First Diablo and Warcraft 2 had incredible music. Then Starcraft and Brood War. But Starcraft 2 music is no good. :(

  • Best fucking game music EVER.

    Still perhaps my favourite game of all time, I still play it sometimes.

  • @parklinkin52 Same here, I kinda lost myself in the nostalgia, booting WC2 up..

  • We're ready master. IM NOT READY!

  • THANK YOU BASED GOD

  • I still listen to this sometimes!!!! the best war musics ever made!

  • its been ages since i heard this.

  • Yes captain? You're the captain!

    God I love this game... Tabu!

  • Comment removed

  • Amazing game tbh...it never gets old :D

  • LOK DAR!! DABU!!! SWUBU!!

  • You nostalgia, you lose.

    ...

    Lost.

  • Dug out my old Warcraft 2 CD today. Wow (no pun intended) it's still great fun to play. The music is simply amazing. 

  • as good or better than mozart

  • somone needs to make a metal version of 0:00-2:03 fucking epic!

  • 6:13 to 6:35 is the best part, hands down.

  • im gonna cry... i wanna be 5 year old child again, being just opening oldschool box of wc2 oh damn how i was excited. Hours and hours bounded to computer and still wanting more :D well it is clear what im gonna install right now :)

  • @sTressICK Starcraft broodwar?

  • Dude why is 4:05 and 6:13 so dammed epic?

  • 6:13 NOSTALGIA BOOMB! 

    KABUUUUUMMMM! T_T

  • nostalgia hard! )=

  • They knew how to make music for videogames back then. Even Feels like youre at war with the alliance.

  • Ha. 69 likes.

  • @hebolbo heh.

  • One of the best video game soundtracks of all time!

  • 8:00-9:02... by far the best part!

  • Pirate much..

  • Best bit 6:12 - 6:35, love the harpsicord

  • w w w . server . war2 . ru

    Warcraft II is back come check us out on that website. Ladder, tournaments and more.

  • Fucking nostalgiabomb.

  • @StephenMcCabeMusic

    nostalgiabomb indeed...

  • Love that the orc music has a harpsichord in it and the humans doesn't.

    As epic as it gets. This soundtrack (composed by Glenn Stafford) and Frank Klepacki's C&C soundtrack are my favorites. And maaaybe Alex Brandon's music from Deus Ex: Machina. Gives one the shivers :D

  • Actually, I have quite a few other favorites. Final Fantasy has always had some amazing stuff.

  • This is the soundtrack of my childhood.

  • loving the drums in the 1st song. FOR THE HORDE!!

  • fuck ya orc theme! 2nd is the best

  • That little tingle makes me think of "Cat, I'm a kittycat, and I dance dance dance and I dance dance dance" -.-

  • Amazing music got the soundtrack from wc1-wc2-wc2beyond the dark portal warcraft 3 and all wow soundtracks

    ty for the upload!!

  • this is the best song!!!!!....que recuerdos!!!! T_T

  • Ahh I miss the good old days of PC gaming... when the soundtrack and videos would stream off the CD-ROM.  Only the game files would ever be copied to the hard drive.

  • This is a masterpiece, made in a time when art and game production were the same. Listen to the details of the harpsichord arpeggios and the complexity of harmony progression. Nowadays we just see random music with repetitive tracks to fill the background. Thubms up, I wish I could give my 2 thumbs for this one.

  • @michel6 No! don't talk like that; over-ambience in music, and flat-out mediocrity, is not uniform for all modern games. Consider that the experience of a game, as a whole, takes into account all factors of that experience; would you really enjoy a film more with constant, vibrant music? Probably not. I enjoy the older, more vibrant music in games, but as a form of art, gaming is not suffering. It's getting so good at telling short, powerful stories; Portal, Arkham assylum. Starcraft 2 ^^

  • The song, at 4min WHAT IS THAT BEAUTIFUL TONES?! From WHAT PART OF THIS WRETCHED world does it come from?!

  • The music was the reason I played orcs over humans

  • This is just perfect! And is one of the best games ever!

    1 word: EPIC!

    It doesn't get any beter than this. ;-)

  • Your sound card works perfectly!

  • Nice orc music. Thats the main race I usually play on the online server

  • 6:13 Fucking epic

  • Listening to these tracks once again after all these long years makes me feel like young kid once again. Thank you arius222 for uploading this. +1

  • OH MY GOD!! I STILL REMEMBER THE RHYME OF THIS AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS!

    I'm talking 13 maybe 14 years since I last played this game! I was a kid!

  • Genius

  • Badass music ;) Zug-Zug DABU!

    Ah, good times. ;)

  • Back in the day when Orcs were Orcs.

  • @MiRyRE

    you're right. Nowdays the orcs are just large green humans.

  • dabu!

  • I always love how the song at 2:09 starts and its 40 seconds. But I love all the songs Warcraft 2 Tides of darkness.

  • DAYUM!!

  • this music is so nostalgic...reminds me when i was a kid playing Warcraft and Warcraft 2....lol the first time i ever cussed was while playing Warcraft 2 and my parents were not happy lol

  • I'VE GOT THE BRAINS! NU UH!

  • Such a great music, way better than games nowadays have. I can't even remember if wc3 had any music, guess nowadays they try to keep the music less interesting and more in the background so it won't "interrupt" with the experience, which I think is bullshit, just think of Star Wars.

  • @Basaltq

    Warcraft 3 had a fantastic soundtrack as well if you ask me, but it doesn't compare to this one. :D

  • 8 PLAYER! HEAD to HEAD!!

  • Ready to work!

  • God created this music.

  • wow... sooo many memories...

  • No. We're ready, master- I'M NOT READY!

  • My tummy feels funny

  • @MrJack12483

    *FARRT* he did it! No HE did it!

  • ZUG-ZUG

  • @release2 DA-BOO!!!!

  • @release2 LOC-TAR!

  • All the comments about what the units said... I read in their voices. Cool y/y?

  • Is the human on the cover Admiral proudmore perhaps?

  • Strange they used Pirate models on the Human/Orc on the Cover when it doesnt appear on the game it self. Warcraft 2 is an classic!
