I can happily confirm that Bear McCreary will be Call of Duty Vanguard's composer. For anyone not familiar, Bear is an extremely capable composer who focuses on more darker and epic productions. For a WWII setting it makes so much sense and I can't wait to hear it in it's full spectacle 🙂 From his collection, I can create some guesses: - The sounds will be more complex and aggressive comparing to Sean Murray's WaW - Less voices, more instruments like cello and strings - Less electronic sound you might get from the Black Ops/Jack Wall series - A slight touch of early MW series - Finest for sound engineering - More than less

Back when war games represented war instead of who has the most colorful gun.

It's even more creepy when you translate what she's saying in the beginning..."Brave Soldiers, Brave Soldiers, die with me, die with me"

There are no words to describe how scared I was of this theme as a child.

"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." -Douglas MacArthur "Older men declare war. But it is the youth that must fight and die." -Herbert Hoover "In peace, sons bury their fathers. In war, fathers bury their sons." -Herodotus

German Lyrics: Brav Soldat (3x) Sterbt mit mir (3x) Brav Soldat English Lyrics: Brave soldier (3x) Die with me (3x) Brave soldier Simple but chilling

remember when Nazi zombies was a hidden game mode and a fun mini game to play after you beat the campaign? shit was scary first time playing it by yourself in the dead of night.

This is when call of duty was good

_"A True war story is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behaviour, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a story seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a war story you feel uplifted, or if you feel some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true war story by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil."_ - Tim O'Brien

The good old days...

I love how this song perfectly captures the horrible, grisly reality that world war 2 really was and how this game portrayed it to be. It was dark, bloody, violent, and horrifying. It wasn't a bright, action-packed cinematic war. It was fucking WAR. This song really captures that feeling. Sorry for the rant and any grammatical or spelling mistakes for I am very drunk.

Id be in heaven if Treyarch did a World at War Remastered for Current Gen and hear this theme again!

Yeah, this game wasn't for 12-year-olds...

This game showed how horrible war is and made sadness fall throughout it, while today we have clowns flying around and camps with boobs all over the gun please Treyarch make a game like this again

The nostalgia is killing me...

This music still gives me chills to this day. Easily the most touching, and creepy music used in a Main Menu.

I loved the dark and hopeless atmosphere of this game. Great soundtrack. True fall of axis powers. Sad that it died so fast. They should make another game like this and really put effort in it. Maybe about the forgotten fronts of WW2. Like Norway, Finland, Hungary and Mantchuria.

"I don't know what WW3 will be fought with but WW4 will be fought with sticks and stones " Albert Einstein

Super grizzly dark ww2 shooter (CoD WaW) Vs The American dream (CoD WW2)

Sean Murray did a pretty good job on this.

Shhhhh i need your help -Viktor Reznov

I don't why, but it's more sad than scary to me.

memories...of fighting the Nazis in WAW. Then playing zombies afterwards and getting chills because I would think thats where the actual nazi souls were.

This is so tense, so suspenseful. It's like all the vileness and hatred of war being built up to a maddening frenzy then released by that ghostly whisper at 1:19, a whisper to let the evil free. Beautiful. Haunting.

who here remembers the mission black cat I freaking loved that mission

Playing this on an eerie late November/December 2008 night, sent shivers down my spine, still find this eerie today

i played this when i was 8 with my parents watching on the wii and when they saw the guy getting his throat cut they instantly took it away. now i have played it and It's the best

This song has almost reach 100,000 views. Brave Soldat has been an incredible song personally for me. One of the darkest but great Call of Duty piece to date! 5 years on and still effective!

Its not just the music that gets to you. It's all the memories that come with it.

Its dark. the deadliest conflict in human history gritty, sad, and honored We miss you WaW

Seeing the latest news about the war. This song resonates in my head.

Who else is here from the Battlefield 5 reveal trailer and expected it to give you the type of feeling this soundtrack gives you and was utterly disappointed?

"i need your help "- treyarch 2017

I remember playing Vendetta when I was possibly 7 years old, and hearing this creates big nostalgia.

I miss the the fact that you could shoot off someone's limbs in this game

Other main menu themes: epic, uplifting, grandiloquent. WaW: how much bleak do you want ?

Almost 15 years since this was uploaded, wow. I remember being in highschool playing this shit 😢 Oh man how time flies.

True tribute too all who had fallen during WW2...

This music helped show the deepest darkest parts of ww2 and the horrers that soldiers felt going into battle not knowing if if they'll come back to their families and not even being able say their good buys (*RIP ALL VETERANS young and old*)

I'm glad I was part of the generation who grew up with this. It showed war for what it really is, a place of no reason and Hell. It was only a glimpse into what our grandfathers and great grandfathers could never speak of.

When you look this up in 2024. You know you have played the best game ever. And miss the time like I do.

This song gave me the inspiration to continue my journey in the army.

So Haunting still to this day! The good old days when COD was Fantastic! So sad to see what it’s become.. give me this remastered over any of the trash today... 😎

COD WAW and COD MW2 were the best cods ever

One of the last good cod games... I miss the ww2 era of war games...

This song is so creepy and eerie but fucking brilliant this game should DEFINITELY be remastered ASAP!

OH, IT MAKES MY HAIRS STAND ON END! All my hairs…

i miss this type of cod games!.. bring back ww2 callofdutys

Perfectly shows how Waw was an amazing game, not picturing the war like an heroic and glorious episode but like a terrifying horror. This soundtrack gives me chills in my back, it's gloomy and so intriguing. Am I the only one that would like to know what the story is behind this voice ?

I can't stop listening to this

This song represents pain and suffering.

From a time where war games were gritty, dark, and insightful to the horrors of war. Teaching the youth by proxy what a nightmare the last great war was. I will always love this game, and pray no other war on the scale of ww2 ever happens again.

Still great in 2015

So much nostalgia ❤️

this and bo1 were horror games

Theme song for the despair for the Wehrmacht when they were losing.

right around 1:30 I tend to just stare at a single point and just think of all of the hardships and horrors that come out of war and mankind, especially from ww2... I think the most morbid things and get chills because the music fits with that theme so perfectly

What a tune. This makes you feel like the last stand, no hope, no survival,sooner rather than later the end is nigh!! Everything about this game is just brilliant.

The nostalgia is here, this was when COD was at it's prime. Now, we have stupid ass boost jumps shit that literally have no sense to it

after 14 years this is sending shivers down my spine. this game was insane. best ww2 cod ever. the ost, the atmosphere, no game except battlefield 1 could keep up with how amazingly this game portrayed the fears of war. when i was a kid i didnt understand the game so i mercilessly killed every enemy i saw, but now even sparing a single soldier makes me feel good in the game.

Me and my friends used to call this game "PTSD simulator" 💀

I just want Call of Duty in eastern front from german side...

I miss the dark and gritty themes of WaW and Black Ops 1. These games really grasped the true horrors of war well.

coldest game in the franchise

When i always opened my ps3, then WaW, then this music played ahh the great memories.

does anyone else get the chills listening to this song? :(

My favorite track from this game, it sent chills down my back when i played Vendetta for the first time. Thanks for the upload.

This Is the best war game ever done bcs It focus on the horror of the war instead of who Is black or White who Is a clown or who have the best color for his rifle

WW2 horrific realities > Nicki Minaj operator skin

thanks for your input for the song. and yes the song really gives that fear and sadness of the battles

"You're lucky you can still cry." -Stalingrad (movie), 1993

By farthest the best call of duty of all time, the campaign took you on a bloody journey where there is no words to explain the blood and gore of the history told in this game. If anything this game taught me lots of about history which had me into the world war 2 books growing up as a kid.

Remaking COD 4? Nah they need to remake THIS GAME RIGHT HERE!!!!! This WAS and WILL ALWAYS be the best COD. Now you got kids flying around the map with stupid looking camos. It's a shame what this game had to come to

that is call of duty.....none of this futuristic shit can reach this

finally! thank you! the only soundtrack that i've been searching for was no where to be found but now my pain is over! thank you! muahuahuhaa

This is the song I've been looking for. Wow. You got the possible lyrics too. Nice.

ll in favor of the next cod being based in World War II?

This was my 2nd game to ever get period. It for a very long time was by far my most played game, and still is in my top 3 played games (x number of hours played) ever. My xbox broke :( so I haven’t played in a while anyway, hearing this song literally gives me goosebumps and gets my heart going and my mind remembering EVERY SECOND of that damn game! I f*cking love this game, and even when I’m 80 years old, I will still remember this masterpiece. ^sorry for going overboard but yeah^

I love how utterly creepy this game can be. Everyone says it sucks, but the eeriness of the whole game is why I love it.

This song is genuinely haunting. Such a disturbing vibe, love it tho

War... war never changes...

Who else found the part at 2:20 onwards to be creepy af?

When I first got the game this song was my favorite and still is I was never scared of it I loved it I embreced it

thanks for the translation. much appreciated

Back when cod was about war and not nicki minaj

This song really makes me feel like I was there in ww2 I had relatives fight in the pacific battle of the bulge in Stalingrad the Luftwaffe and the whole eastern front and in Italy it definetly hits my soul

COD will never be the same. In my opinion, Black Ops was the last game to be remembered. The Belle Époque of the franchise. Now, they killed everything good about COD. It was another time, another gen, another era. It'll never be the same as it was. Such a nostalgia. It's a shame that time flies.

One of the most incredible special and rare track here...WOW...

they must make a ww1 cod

I completed the campaign at 12am and when the Nazi zombies came on, I completely freaked the duck out

The best cod made. Hands down. Please make another one as eerie and epic as this! I used to crap myself when playing multiplayer on asylum and hearing noises whilst on my own!

This will alawys hold a place in my heart.....

I dont know how to describe it, but 1:18 always gets me

just inmagen all the brutality in ww2 being in the battle field seeing many people lost their lives this war was not just for america or germany or china or russia it was for survival years later people still do this day will remember the horror of world war 2 germany and china years later where shocked by what they did back in that time period we all feel sad for those people and this game preety much explanes how brutal the war was it was nothing like today it was horror just think your caught in a battle you hear the sounds of guns firing and screams and explosing you saw dogs riping people appart chines charging at soldiers or ambusing them or even germans excuting russians ww2 will all ways be the most deadlesst conflict in human history.

The first thing you notice when opening WaW is the lack of colour on the main menu and it's eerie soundtrack.

"Hunting a person is like hunting any animal, fire at the wrong moment and your opportunity is lost. Patience my friend or this fountain will be our grave"

"Brave" is wrong. The word is "Brav" and means "good", in the meaning of "be a good boy"

Any body know the theme when you first boot up the game a guys shooting an mg42 and and artillery shot and then the treyarch logo. Anyone recall?

I still get the chills whenever I listen to the main menu its so good

The first time i heard this after a while since i plugged my xbox back in, and now im getting the flashback of a verruckt sprinter
