Red Alert 2 Has Heavy Metal!? Opera Singer Reacts

- This is an interesting track. I don't know anything about Red Alert 1 or 2 as RTS games aren't really things I play, but it's interesting to hear how we invoke a sense of military might and fear and concern with instruments. In this case..Heavy Metal, which is pretty cool.

Frank Klepacki made total bangers for the RA series.
@@JimRaynor2001 Tiberian Sun is my JAM!
@@JimRaynor2001 The music of Tiberian Sun is definetely differen from the rest of the series, but I feel like it worked with the gloomy, messed up world that Tiberian Sun was going for.
Frank Klepacki is the soul of Command and Conquer.
If there's one thing you can count on, it's Frank Klepacki making an amazing soundtrack for a game.
Aye, did you know he's done live gigs as well? Man I wished I could go to one, C&C was so big in my youth
Dude is a powerhouse!
@@TraustiGeir i cant get enough of him. also love The Tiberian Sons
Frank Klepacki and Mick Gordon should do a colab, i know it will be awesome
The Soviet campaign in RA2 immediately begins with a Soviet raid on the damn Pentagon lol. It doesn't get _quite_ as wacky as the third game, but it just holds nothing back and I love it. It's a cool contrast too, 'cause like, NOD is all about guerilla tactics and subterfuge to deal with GDI's superior might, whereas the Soviets are already a world superpower and they are not afraid to just slam themselves into the enemy head on.
Also yes, the entire franchise has absolutely stellar music.
Kinds like the russians been doing lately in Ukraine. They're just not affraid of the world. They know they got power and just use it how they please
@@cherrydragon3120 They don't have very much.
@@averagefanenjoyer8696dude they're currently smashing Ukraine's miltary & NATO is well.............. nowhere
They are nothing like the USSR, and you sound like you admire them?@@cherrydragon3120
@cherrydragon3120 lol the current russia army is a joke compared to how they where in the past and they had less
Ahh the memories.
Not mine exactly but those of my dad.
I once showed this Song to my dad because I found it cool, and he told me how he got the game and fell on love with the song as I did, and he shared all the awsome moments he had while playing the Game.
"Ahh the memories.
Not mine exactly but those of my dad."
"awesome moments"
Sounds like getting curb stomped by a Great General who was awoken from his slumber
@@talonsclaw9058 Yes
It is like that when I play the Remaster of Tib Dawn with him.
Out of the 25 games we played so far against eachother he has won 24 and the 25th game ended in a draw after we both ran out of ressouces and Harvesters. So yea. I got curb stomped
This comment is physically aging me
😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤
Frank Klepacki made so many bangers for so many Command and Conquer games, and he even came back and remixed some songs for some non-official modded versions of the old games. Man is really a legend.
The RA2 intro movie incorporates the elements of this track really well:
- It opens with the ominous silhouettes of enemy airships and naval forces on approach.
- "Westwood Studios proudly presents"
- Air-raid siren blares as the camera pans up towards a cloudy sky filled with Soviet paratroopers and aircraft.
- Missiles take to the skies as ground forces stage amphibious landings.
- The track ends as a double-barreled Apocalypse tank swings it's gun towards the camera and fires.
- Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2
"Drive Friendly - The Texas Way"

@@DJRainbowToxic I have the final say
@@eefthebeef3047 haha most important detail of the video right there :D
And squids and Soviet subs in the water
RA2 was my childhood. My uncle introduced it to me and I still play it from time to time. Seeing you react to it was such a pleasant surprise!
Red Alert has a lot of banger soundtracks, glad that they're getting featured here!
HM2, RA3's Hell March 3, RA3's Soviet March (I think you'd provide awesome analysis on this as there's a singer), Grinder (RA2 main menu music), and Destroy (where there's a French lady speaking some words) are my personal favorites from the series.
There's also an entire concert collab by Frank Klepacki (the music guy of C&C) and the Tiberian Sons (a band that made covers of the Command and Conquer music) on TH-cam. Personally love how they mixed Hell March 2 and 3 together, as well as seeing Frank freestyle through Brain Freeze on drums.
You also, can't forget the original Hell March. For it being from the original Red Alert, it was utterly fantastic.
Frank fucking decimated those drums Lol
@@stclaws yeah, HM1 is something great to listen to, but it's a matter of taste as all Hell March tracks set the tone for their respective games really well. RA1 is quite gritty with its setting and tone. RA2 is more modern, and it reflected on the track. RA3 is more futuristic, hence, HM3 being more bombastic.
I prefer the five tracks I listed as personal favorites over them, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate the other tracks like In Deep for example.
The OG CnC also has myriad bangers, act on instinct, no mercy, etc.
Actually all three of “hell marshes” are sounds unique and same at a same time and all needed to be listened.
Thanks for reaction.
I'd also recommend the Retaliation Remix as well if you aren't already familiar with it. It was produced for the Playstation 1 version of Red Alert with the PC expansion packs bundled in. It clearly has the DNA of Hell March 2 in there. I couldn't tell you which version of Hell March is my favourite. It changes with my mood.
@@Tremadog102It sounds like an early templet to Hell March 2 with the electronic elements, some samples even made it over to HM2. It was originally remixed for the forgotten early battle royale online only title C&C: Sole Survivor. All the remixes from that game ended up on Retaliation.
@@kwizzeh Good point! I didn't have a PC when Sole Survivor came out and no internet. One of my friend's got Retaliation on his PS1. I forget about Sole Survivor because it's the only Westwood-era C&C that I missed out on. I heard it wasn't that fun to play but the soundtrack clearly made up for it. :)
There is a nice remix by Smeichu that combines all 3 Hell March songs.
@@Tremadog102 Retaliation was the only C&C I had until Generals. As a child I never figured out how to play it properly, but I always loved the music and building my base. I still have the game and my PS2 to play it on. I think the disks still work. That intro animation always brings back good memories!
Oh yeah even the original C&C games had heavy metal. No Mercy will always be one of my favorite tracks of the entire franchise.
As for Hell March there's a bunch of different versions of it but personally speaking I'l always prefer the original version. It's basically THE theme song for the Soviet forces
Agreed on No Mercy. Its tune has snuck into every C&C except Generals. Interestingly, as I'm sure you've noticed, the No Mercy tune plays at the end of Hell March 2. If any tune was THE C&C tune, it's No Mercy
For Nod, it is definitely the Tiberian Sons version of No Mercy (what I fell their song is). GDI would be Act on Instinct or that song that plays at their credits.
Soviets is between Soviet March or any of the Hell March songs. Dunno about the Allies, maybe Bigfoot.
C&C Retaliation Hell's March is great.
I NEVER CLICKED A VIDEO SO FAST.
This song is one of the catalyst of why I love video game music. A song that's as timeless as it's game.
I was literally talking about 'The golden age' of RTS and all that stuff with my friend, then i receive a notification of you uploading. I check and it have the word 'Red Alert' in it, Hell March specifically too for god sake.
Im definitely gonna enjoy this one as a RTS nerd, Thanks you!
I can't even count the amount of new songs I've added to my playlist thanks to Marco lmao
I live to serve
Whoah. Didn't expect to see this in the channel. Absolutely stoked and hyped to see this, but never would have guessed in a million years it would be tackled.
Hell March 2 was and is still my most favorite track in Red Alert 2: I had it looped while playing with friends, and it's still one of my go-to-tracks when I need to feel pumped up. But I admit that part of it's soft spot for me was because I also really liked the original Hell March back on the first Red Alert. I wouldn't spoil that song in the off, OFF chance you might tackle it (here's to hoping), but I do like comparing and contrasting both songs and being stuck on deciding which I like better.
I'll have to say looking at it back, I did like Hell March 2 better as it feels like an evolution of the song, as well as it just ends in the proper note. I also feel that it's timed well, and the beat really feels like putting you yourself in almost marching mood.
On another note, when you mentioned putting things that are not musical instruments in a song, the first thing that immediately came to mind (other than this) was Pokémon Sword and Shield's Vs Eternatus fight Phase 3. It just really encapsulates the story and puts an epic spin to the situation. Sword and Shield is actually pretty good at using non-musical elements in their songs to great effect, come to think of it. The infamous Galarian Gym Theme is almost unseparable from the crowd chants and cheers at this point, no matter what the version is.
Westwood Studios brings back so many memories: Lands of Lore, Legend of Kyrandia, C&C, Blade Runner... Their music were of course an absolute feast and seeing you react to one is so good!
>Legend of Kyrandia
Ah, I see you too are a person of culture.
Don't forget the DUNE RTS series of games as well! They were one of the RTS kings of the day, rivaling Blizzard Games.
@@KunoMochi Of course! I was too young to really appreciate it but, for me, Dune 2 was the pioneer of RTS
But then, here comes EA to ruin every decently sized studio...
Didn’t get to play red alert 2 but did play 3 and Tiberium/Kane wrath. I absolutely loved it when this song came on, but personally my favorite song is grinder 2
And Can you feel the Soviet might?!
"End their arrogance! Feel the soviet might!"
"Cruise, and fire!!!"
RA2 was so much better than 3 .
@@Skourillo I like them both, though I much prefer RA2's more macro style and it really fit well with my casual matchups with my brother. Our matches usually start off with him being more battle ready than me as I just keep focus on expansion and decorating my territory and when he attacks it's either he crushes my forces easily or my territory is too big and my armies that were for decoration hold him off enough to have all the decoration bases pump a lot of units to counteract him in which scenario he'll start doing guerilla tactics, like with chrono legionnaires, mirage tanks, etc. It always felt like a cold war when we would first start because whoever attacks first disgruntles the other because we'd give each other time to raise our armies though as I've mentioned I'd be more on decorating my bases at first. Red Alert 3 because of its small maps and micro focused gameplay, made our casual matches a bit less casual because we'd have to fight sooner because of our close proximity and less space for expansion and stacking armies doesn't bode well for older PCs...
One of the most recognizable and memorable video game tracks for anyone that did any PC gaming in the 90s and 2000s
OG Hell March is amazing but 2 will always have a special place in my heart as Red Alert 2 was the first RTS I actually beat 100%.
There was an often overlooked game called Emperor: Battle for Dune. The soundtrack was awesome. For Atreides was arabesquish music by Frank Klepaki, for Ordos it was techno by Jarrid Mendelson and for Harkonnen it was some industrial by David Arkenstone. Yes, three composers, writing separate unique soundtracks for each faction. Definitely check it out.
Everyone has a plan, until he sees the apocalypses rolling towards him.

For reference, the Red Alert games is an alternate timeline where Germany wasn't a major power during WW2, but the Soviet Union moved in and served as the primary enemy of the Allied nations creating a new kind of WW2. I also feel like Hell March is one of those songs that you need to see the cinematics that accompany them to truly appreciate.
Exactly. If anything, and if I remember correctly, Germany is part of the allies in this timeline
The line that is said; 'Die waffen leicht an,' is now legendary. Now I remember reading that from a interview Frank Kelpacki had. He got the line from an artillery commander of the German Bundesweir in an old training video apparently.
It translates roughly to "Reeeeeady weapons!"
@@Cross31415 thank you so so much. I couldn't remember the exact translation and Google translate was giving me trash answers. The problem with digital translators is they can't get dialects and such yet. It is funny though that I remembered the German words photographically though.
@@Tagishlicht Also small correction but it's "Die Waffen, legt an!" Which is more akin to "Ready the weapons" if you wanna be more literal. So it's legt not leicht. You can now post the nerd emoticon on my post, cause I'm a damn know-it-all.
@@Leckaine I'm all good with being corrected. I actually appreciate it. I read that article in a PC gaming magazine years ago, so if I made a mistake, I insist on being corrected. Still even with my mistakes, I'm impressed I was close for it being years ago. As I can see my head taking legt and morphing it over time to leicht.
My 8 year old self thought it's just a primal scream (I'm not a native English speaker though, so I was still learning a second language, let alone recognize a third), and my 25+ year old self was just so enthralled by the instruments to pay attention to the line 😂
It'd be super cool to see what atmosphere you get from some the Tiberian Sun tracks. They really set the tone and mood of that game. Maybe Dusk Hour or Lone Trooper would be the best songs to react to.
I personally like Pharotek, Valve and Nod Crush. I hope he can react to them.
Hell march along with grinder, destroy and blow it up are stand outs for this OST for me
Playing hell march 2 is like refining a fine Soviet wine
I wasn't born on 2000, but I love Red Alert 3 and other C&C games.
Whoa whoa whoa! We going RA now? So many bangers in there. Menu music still slaps to this day.
KIROV REPORTING
So I personally prefer the first Hell March because it's got more of a melody, but this is still awesome. I do remember playing RA at my neighbour's place when I was a kid. I mostly built dog huts and tesla coils...
marco you should listen to the RA3:Corona mod that includes the celestial empire (essentially china) - it’s called Celestial March. If not, give it a go in your own spare time! it’s awesome!
is still amazing how C&C saga, westwood itself, changed so strongly the game industry, even the movie industry, but nobody give the credit and try to ignore C&C saga from the existence, the soundtrack, design, interface, game architecture, style, gameplay, system, everything. today most games uses features from command & conquer, but they still try to hide it and deceive us that C&C not exist...
remind that warcraft would NEVER existed if WW not had build dune and C&C, also starcraft is another nerfed son, same aply to age of empires, age of mythology, any RTS (of the current LRTS games, games locked/limited with less build because they was unable to copy the C&C pathfinder and main system that able us to explode the game unlimitedly) the grandchildren as dota is still descendent from dune and cnc... both "most famous" games in the world are grandchildren from C&C, that is league of legends and world of warcraft... they would never be borned if WW never had build RTS, but not only this, even other games as genshin impact uses things from command & conquer, we can find some noises and sound effects that was build by WW for C&C, not only this, but minor games from ww as their olds rpgs beside they are least famous and had less impact in gaming inudstry, still build something that everyone uses today, for several periods they were the biggest sound bank contributors, way ahead rareware or microsoft, i do not know today, but it was the top for good years. is amazing how basically all the good things in games today are features from C&C/Dune, WW in general.
the soundtrack gave impact and changed the mind of some other developers, electrorock and electrometal became more frequent, better speaking, they started to be used in games, ahead of the second place midway. but still today red alert soundtrack still kick a*s of all other games, tiberium wars too, the soundtrack was even in series law and crime style, many games with war or tense atmosphere today started to use the TW style, the classic C&C soundtrack too, is still used as base for some new composers to learn how to create a good song that is harmonious and captivating. what steam did in awards was terrible, they gave the credit to helltaker that the soundtrack was awful small and not that good vs many others, they ignored C&C remake, even with so many songs that was 90% better than the best song of helltaker, what steam did was a offense, aggression, shame, neglect, disrespect and dishonor for the musical and gaming history. pure shame, and the biggest of all times.
and the design, after 2, terminator was based in C&C, well... every futurist movies and games today are based in C&C style, theme and mainly plot script. old days we faced so many cliches that made everything so predictable, but after C&C the scripts became less predictable and we found more stories with cliche break.
we would be nothing today if WW never gave birth to this real legend.
The only RTS game i ever liked and got good at
Thank you mr Marco for reviewing (i kno im late - i also almost type mr Meatball plz dont be mad)
The drill seargent in the background says: Die Waffen, legt an. The rifles, steady them.
As someone who was born in 2000 I can confirm that I was in the prime of my videogame life.

There is a song I would really like a review off, is the Homeworld version of Adagio for strings. infact homeworld 1 and homeworld cataclysm have really good sound tracks.
There is also Hell March 3, there is an robotic and electronic feel to it, which is fitting considering that in Red Alert 3, Japan was a playable faction, with super advanced technologies and robotics, and the Soviets are the ones being invaded this time.

The music is inflamed with enthusiasm, beautiful and wonderful and I am addicted to this game so my channel is all about this game. I enjoyed watching the video and was inspired to write this review thank you.
Me when I saw this video: *KIROV REPORTING*
Now i have urge to send many conscript as possible to enemy territory
Song = good
Analysis = eh. Not terrible
Ok i think I'm a bit too early lol - in any case, hearing your descriptions and deep dives into songs is such an amazing thing, it makes me enjoy the songs even more! (And also helps me with writing music) you're amazing man!
While I enjoy Hell March 2, Hell March 3 has more stuff going which I enjoy a lot.
"It will soon be a wasteland." Soviet power supreme."
Hi Marco!! I highly HIGHLY suggest you listen to the soundtrack from (or even play) Little Nightmares. Especially the second installment in the franchise, which I think blows the first game out of the water. The music is so immersive and really sinks you into the scene of the story. Love your content!
If you like the song you really should listen to the Tiberium Sons who collaborated with the original musician to remake all the tracks from C&C 1 and Red Alert 1
Now you need to do Hell March and Hell March 3.
I absolutely love red alert 2. Thanks for the nostalgia trip Marco
RA2 - Grinder is a good one too
Wasn't expecting red alert. It has a great soundtrack, and you've made a great and most importantly detailed reaction, no, analysis. It is weird that your videos are so underrated. Keep up the great work.
Holy shit this brings back memories. My first ever rts
I can safely state that I probably have more game time in the C&C universe then any other franchise to date. And most of it is linked to the OST. I do enjoy you're perspective in the content you provide, and I'm eager to see what comes next!
I loe Red Alert 2. Music is awesome but the game is incredible aswell.
Ah yes, Hell March 2, the iconic song for Red Alert 2. The game that literally has the Soviet Union literally walk straight up to America, punching them CLEAN in the face, sending America stumbling back into a brick wall all bloodied, broken and bruised, splayed on the ground. At least initially. Course' the Allies made the Soviets pay for such a move, but not without America taking one hell of a beating. All I can say is owch time xD
Great analysis, Marco! Been subscribed since your Genshin Boss theme videos and seeing the Red Alert series has been a wonderful surprise as I also love RTS Games! Speaking of military games with fantastic OSTs, I'd also love for you to also analyze the most iconic theme from the Metal Slug series: "Final Attack"!
If you have time for other soundtracks in the series, I'd recommend "Kiss in the Dark" and "Midnight Wandering" for more heavy metal influences, "Back to China" for Asian influences, and "Living on the Deck" for some smooth jazz!
This has nothing to do with heavy metal, quite the opposite, but, you should take a look at the OST from a game called Dustforce, I believe you will be quite amazed with what you hear. The composer is Lifeformed, who more recently has done the soundtrack for the game Tunic, together with Janice Kwan.
Also, great work with the videos, I got introduced to you with your video about Someone is Always Moving on the Surface from ACfA, like this one, great video, love your content.
Huh. Oppressive? Scary? Adversarial?
What are you on about?
It's empowering and inspiring, makes you want to close ranks with your comrades and stomp out the great evil.
Ok’ that’s awesome!
There's actually interesting stuff if you search up the "line said in hell march 2". If you browse around apparently it can be interpreted ambiguously by listener as military orders of several languages. However there's an actual thread on the steam discussions forum for this that talks about the actual line spoke and its source.
Apparently it's not Die waffen leicht an, as it is not a command found in any German Drill manuals, and Kelpacki has admitted to not knowing where the line was sourced from in later interviews. But he mentions particular sampling a particular instruction video for the marching noise then mixing the command shouted from that video in.
Turns out the line being shouted is Reform Line, Quick march. An shortened version of Reform Line, Remainder, Quick March. Which does exist in canadian manuals and was the nationality of the video in question.
That thread points to DrillMilitary 1019_13_2.mp3 and DrillMilitary 1019_13_3.mp3 on stockmusic as the source clips.
If you liked Hell March you should give Emperor: Battle for Dune's Harkonnen soundtrack a try. David Arkenstone killed it.
nhaa... the intensity is not bombing ,that you gota go to supcom 1 or such for..
no what the intensity there is , thats how it feels when you hear the foe pumping out tanks faster then they can build war factories to eat their resources ..MEDIUM TANK RUSH! UNTIL THE POTATO COMPUTER CPU STARTS BOIL! BRRRRR! XD
For anyone interested. The sentence that's said in the beginning of the song and throughout a couple of times is "Die Waffen legt an." which is German and roughly translates to "Equip your weapons." In case anyone's interested. Source: I'm German.
So if you want more fell lil bit orchestral Hell March 3 from Red Alert 3 i recommend although the music kinda same but feels a little bit different (for me at least).
When Klepaki hits, he hits extremely hard. Good analysis. Theres a number of in game elements with some of the sounds but those come across without explanation as youve successfully analyzed. Bravo, sir.
Hellmarch 2, and later on Hellmarch 3, were based on the Red Alert: Retaliation remix of the original Hellmarch. It doesn't get as heavy as Hellmarch 2, but you can hear the barebones of it in the remix.
Fun fact: The original Hellmarch was originally written for Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn. It was a Nod track, but they realized it didn't quite fit, so it was shelved until they were working on Red Alert (which was originally just another expansion like Covert Operations and Sole Survivor, until it became a full game). Frank and the higher ups at Westwood realized this was the perfect Soviet theme.

🤘>_< 🤘*headbang*
Such memories and nostalgia.
As Russian myself, I like how western artists/directors/musicians depic us much more evil, greedy, simplex and inevitable than we really are. I would say Russian hate war in its every aspect - WW2 left so many wounds that the victory day we still call as ''the tear-mixed rejoicing day" - but in the same time we are greatly proud of our victories in the past and believe that we ''can repeat'' (a modern Russian propaganda quote). I don`t like the aggressive part of this quote, but agreed with its meaning.
So, I just want to say, that when one depicts us as cruel and powerful swarm of conscripts, missiles and red-starred tanks, ruled by a cunning dictator, we say: ''these guys are not like us. But they look and act cool, so, why not?..''
Oh hell yeah, now we're talkin! Would love to see a reaction to the whole OST+Yuri's Revenge!
I BEG OF YOU.. Please eventually react to the Live Performance of the Hell March Trio by Frank Klepaki and the Tiberium Suns from their Magfest concert. Its on TH-cam. They performed all 3 Hell March versions as the Encore Finale to the concert and it was AMAZING.
Its really time that You (MarcoMeatball) needs to react to these Masterpieces:

I love it for the HOI4 memes 😆
5:37 Starts what I refer to as the "Command and Conquer" motif. I'm not sure if it's a thing. Or if it's in the earlier soundtracks, but I recall noticing it in a few places. One of which is in Tiberian Sun's song "Approach" at 3:37.
Command and Conquer: Red Alert makes the Soviet Union the main antagonist of the world. the Hellmarch theme in each game is much like Killzone's focus on their antagonists; the Hellghast - It is a challenge. Are you prepared to fight the Red Army? Or will the world revolution sweep you aside as it did so many others?
An effective call to action for players I think :)
HAHAHAHA CALLING ME OUT IN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS
tbh I'm not out of my 20's yet but my first video game was the Command and Conquer series. Besides some Nintendo lol. RA2 is my favorite!
currently in the process of wanting to learn to play a few various instruments (might even have one of the rooms of my houses dedicated to being a music room for it) and i've already got plans for songs i want to make with the various inspirations for them being the hell march variations, the doom 2016 and eternal soundtracks, MGR, and if i end up delving really hard into EDM or something there might be some inspiration from the old Madness Combat series lol
which someone NEEDS to convince marco to check out, that series and its games have carried me through my childhood into my adulthood, having seen all the original animations and played the first mainline game (project nexus) alongside the few side games and eventually even bought and beat the remake of Project Nexus
my god the music of that series
i have a deep love for music lol, ESPECIALLY video game music which is why some of my favorite games end up being ones with good soundtracks or atleast good combat music
its why i want to write and play the music for a game project i've been wanting to get on for ages (procrastinating on it lol, and trying to learn blender hurts my brain cuz of ADHD) i dream for the day it comes out and gets looked at as ATLEAST a bad AAA game lol
just means its a good enough indie to looks like a bad AAA
best i got going for me is years of gaming and knowing gameplay should be a hard focus alongside fun and engaging combat, i mean i was literally gonna add a "greatsword" in anticipation for asmon to play it and say its the only reason why he kept playing lol
like i don't care how much hate it'll get, i just want to make it so i can play it myself XD
It's the most memorable Red Alert 2 soundtrack, in my opinion. Sadly, Red Alert 3's Hell March 3 sounds awful.
For me, the original version of Red Alert has the best version of Hell March. C&C Tiberium Dawn & Red Alert's soundtracks are the series' best IMO.
Well,since you're listening to some Red Alert 2 tunes... Perhaps look at the soundtrack for the Red Alert 2 mod,Mental Omega? The crew tapped World Beyond and Black Ice 9 to make the soundtracks for two of the mod's factions.
If you think the sound of bombs at the start is ominous, you should try Mark Morgan's soundtrack for Fallout 1, specifically "Metallic Monks." You don't hear the bombs; they fell a hundred years ago. You just hear the ghostly echo of the wailing sirens...
I'd say half the fun of Westwood games really came from Klepacki. Not just the semi modern games after RA2 (before EA completely took over and straight up killed the franchise), but already all the way back to Dune2 wouldnt be so iconic without Klepackis OST.
Man, it's been so long since C&C had a good entry. I'll never forgive EA for butchering the franchise with the abomination that was Tiberium Twilight. Maybe I should get my old 10year anniversary disc out and play through the old titles again and see if I can also find my Tiberium Wars and Red Alert 3 disc anywhere.
Hell March 2 is my favorite Red Alert 2 song so far.
First time I introduce this game from my friend. But because of language barrier make me do not know how to play it, then my friend show me how to play and what to do in game.
What a good time.
Marco you definitely need to react to Tomb Raider (old trilogy) music. I would really love to hear your breakdown of it 💗 and I think you would definitely like it especially the Tomb Raider Legend music! 🫶🏻
Hello. How about trying Furi soundtrack? Especially My only chance, Something memorable and Make this right.
Has anyone played too many skirmishes that these songs start playing while you're in the bathroom?
Well, there's one time, Jank played while I was doing number 2.
MY CHILDHOOD OMG YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It's really funny. The imagery you get from this piece is SS troops marching into Paris or something, yet the Nazis don't exist in the RA series, and the style doesn't fit thw Soviets.
Doesn't really take away from the piece, just funny.
You should check out the remaster version Frank Klepacki and the Tiberium Sons did were they melded both RA Hell March 2 and 3, well worth a listen too
You should try listening battle realms' ost specifically "serpentholm" theme both the peaceful version and the battle version. Its another RTS game in the 2000's
Ah yes, the Whal-- Hell March. I remember it in it's original context but the prime of your gaming life should always be right now unless you've quit gaming.
Red alert 2 is amazing....arguably the game responsible for getting me into pc gaming. I know i know....Starcraft...blah blah. great game, and i did play it around the same time but. Red alert 2 got me first.
Hell March is imo one of the most iconic and important pieces of video game music to date. Instantly recognizable, unique, intense, creates a sense of urgency and action. Absolute masterpiece. Even though Red Alert 3 was not that great, Hell March 3 definitely carried the torch and is an awesome version as well
Nothing will beat Hell March 3 for me, but damn is it nice to see C&C get ANY attention whatsoever(cough cough ea.) So thanks, Marco:)
Yuriko's Theme and Soviet March from RA3 and this one are my favorites songs in the RA series :D
And you, as an opera singer, maybe you can find interesting Yuriko's Theme 🤔
How have I seen so many of your videos and JUST NOW Found out you reacted to HELL MARCH 2?!?!?!
Bro you always seem to pick games from my childhood xD my dad, and I would play all of command, and conquer together! Yuris revenge is still my favorite, but god damn does the menu screen slap 😂 the blimps, and chaos in this intro is insane, don’t worry the allied forces will just time travel:3
Deceiver from the expansion is a killer song xD also the tiberian sun music, they did such a good job at setting up the vibe with the tunes. I miss the rts golden age:p
I can't remember where I heard this from, but supposedly the voice is shouting, "Die waffen legt an" which google translates from German as, "prepare to fire."
Great situation or not.... well that depends on where in the union you stand comrade, yes?
A glorious party member like you will surely avoid the Gulags yes?
as great and legendary as HM2 is, personally the 3rd kicks it up to 11 for me plus RA3 has George Takei and Tim Curry so... more to enjoy
