Funny how this music was part of a DLC, yet is more impactful than most of the other music in the base game. I found this out indirectly, since I first played the game on Legendary Edition.
RatchildUK yeap. the music was generally ok... then this one came out of nowhere, I was like whoa, easily the most epic combat music of the whole trilogy
I've searched far and wide for this soundtrack ever since the first time I finished ME3 many years ago. Every time I finished another ME run, I would search for this... but of course I would find nothing since I only checked the ME3 OSTs. It is now late 2017 and I finally played the Overlord DLC when I heard this theme. Blew my mind, and here I am. Finally. Fucking finally found it.
ME2 is one of the few games that actively made me seek out its soundtrack. Thankfully most of the DLC continued its tradition of epic music (It's a shame that Zaeed's loyalty mission just used recycled music.) Plus, I love that Overlord is the one mission in the entire ME universe where brutally pistol whipping someone is the Paragon option.
This embodies the struggles of Mass Effect. The fight against impossible odds, enemies in every direction, and epic music at your back. I feel like if any losing army, no matter how small, heard this song, they would charge forward and win.
This, Shadow broker and Bring Down the sky DLC are probably the best DLC that I have ever had the pleasure to play. Just the right amount of action, feels and story to make it better than the actual main game :D
One of the best combat themes of the series and defiantly my favorite of ME2. The 14 min loop is great when I want a little more motivation pumping weight at the gym, or just doing anything that could use an adrenaline rush.
I will never understand why Chris Lennertz did not get the main composer job for ME3. No disrespect to Clint Mansell, but they already had a great composer in their midst.
m13579k Possible, but either way, I think he was a good choice. ME3 does go for a much darker, more emotional tone, and I think Mansell handled that very well. And you can decry getting a "big name" as a bad thing, but it frankly seems odd to complain that the guy who scored frikkin' Requiem is doing a video game series you love.
As much as I love Mansell, I totally agree. He is great for making epic and long build ups which worked in some cases, but Chris, and music like this is what ME thrives on. Heck, they used this song in the mission where you save Jacob! It finally felt like a real ME game after that.
Is it just me or do the Geth-related missions just get the best, most epic tracks? This and Tali's recruitment mission theme are some of the best music in the game.
David is a truly tragic character, I really felt for him, so I told his brother I didn't know what happened to David which caused his despicable to commit suicide.
Replaying ME3 right now, first time in years. I remembered this track was in it, but not where. Yesterday I did the Jacob/Cerberus mission... turned the effects volume to 50%, dialogue to 0%, and stayed in the mission fifteen minutes longer than I needed to lol.
Honestly this was a sad dlc though as he didn’t mean to hurt people. He kind of lost his mind connected to a machine and showing the danger of why not to mix a human mind with machines
Well ofc you shouldn’t You need to put David in Grissom Academy (if I remember correctly the name of academy, bc I finished the trilogy years ago), so there are people who will care properly genius uniques like David. And in ME3 you will need to protect that Academy against Cerberus invasion. There will be Jack as well, she will take care of students (David among them)
Oh, sorry for late reply. You can burn a music CD and then copy the files to your xbox. Then set up a playlist, mute the in-game music and use the xbox-button menu to start your playlist. I make custom playlists for a lot of different games, it's a nice feature.
I could t associate it with vega due to me being introduced to it via overlord in me2 and Davids theme is this melody it follows. I can see what u mean tho
Bad insanity memories: Vanguard Shepard: I'm charging that prime. Miranda and Tali: Please dont. Vanguard Shepard charges the Prime and dies thanks to the Pyro nearby. Infiltrator Shep: Grunt kill those geth while I position myself. Garrus/Zaeed provide cover. Whole party kill.
Yes, at gellix I think with all of the Ex-Cerberus (which is where you'll find Jacob in ME3 if he survived the Suicide Mission in ME2) when your fixing the Anti Air guns.
"Audio conditions indicate an aesthetically pleasing soundtrack is nearby. Organic lifeforms may wish to take note."
That's fucking brilliant

Best combat music in the entire series? Perhaps so.
+edgecrusherhalo I have to agree with that statement... :D
+edgecrusherhalo Kasumi theme is damn close...
Very good, but Infiltration is my favorite.
What about Therum?
One of the best no doubt
Easily my favourite piece of combat music in the trilogy.
so agree but didnt fit the scary theme of the dlc tbh
RatchildUK yeap. the music was generally ok... then this one came out of nowhere, I was like whoa, easily the most epic combat music of the whole trilogy
+Alex Coroir Fuck part 3
ME3 had so great potential. It wasn't used. Shame.
Shadow Broker from the same composer
Heavy impact drumbeats, blaring trumpets - it makes you feel like you could crush a colossus in your hands! Damn that image is really badass.
Dude that's not the vibe of this song at all. It depicts a difficult fight basically.
I tried to melee a colossus and I regret everything.

I found it 5 minutes after hearing it.

+Nibayasan The square root to 906.01 equals 30.1 It all seemed harmless

"Why didn't you use another part?"
"........ NO DATA AVAILABLE."
This embodies the struggles of Mass Effect. The fight against impossible odds, enemies in every direction, and epic music at your back. I feel like if any losing army, no matter how small, heard this song, they would charge forward and win.
"sounds like a suicide mission. I volunteer." - Jacob
Fighting Cerberus in ME3 with the overlord theme helping Jacob was amazing. Only wish David and Gavin Archer were there.
+dathip Well Archer is in this mission
+dathip Gavin is there, David is with jack
Just Petrusion No I mean together.
You mean he "was" there^^ At least if you tell him you'd know nothing about his brother and grissom academy like I did^^
@@R4Y2k had done the Overlord DLC so I kinda went Renegade mode.
This, Shadow broker and Bring Down the sky DLC are probably the best DLC that I have ever had the pleasure to play. Just the right amount of action, feels and story to make it better than the actual main game :D
I concur. Both Overlord and Shadow broker were really well done.
ME 2 was really two games. the suicide mission and then these side action/espionage missions in all the dlc
Citadel with Leviathan are also amazing
Citadel has to win for me
the best soundtracks ever, this game and music changed my life. Soo amazing so pure
One of the best combat themes of the series and defiantly my favorite of ME2. The 14 min loop is great when I want a little more motivation pumping weight at the gym, or just doing anything that could use an adrenaline rush.
Like fighting an ai uprising
*sees geth start to activate* And there’s the catch. I knew this was too easy...!
Haha, same.
I will never understand why Chris Lennertz did not get the main composer job for ME3. No disrespect to Clint Mansell, but they already had a great composer in their midst.
I think Mansell may have been a better fit for the tone they were going for.
bigfatcarp93 more like EA just wanted a "big name" attached to draw attention.

The degree to which this theme is flawless is truly something to behold
Overlord is underrated.
Playing this while playing a survival mission in warframe is over the top madness!
This music was recycled to fighting Cerberus troops in ME3. It's still awesome none the less.
You make it sound like recycling grade A combat tracks is a bad thing.
Try listening for "Duel of the Fates" in the Star Wars prequels.
It makes sense since they put Archer in that level with Jacob.
It also plays on the mission where your objective is to save an Admiral on Rannoch but have to disable anti air guns to destroy the jamming tower.
Turian Havoc [26th Armiger Legion] I consider this the geth theme
Brilliant DLC. Brilliant ending. Brilliant music.
I love this track, was hoping there was an extended format available. Thank you, sir! :)
Is it just me or do the Geth-related missions just get the best, most epic tracks? This and Tali's recruitment mission theme are some of the best music in the game.
David is a truly tragic character, I really felt for him, so I told his brother I didn't know what happened to David which caused his despicable to commit suicide.
Yeah now since you said this i agree with that.This and kasumi DLC soundtracks were the best for me.
Replaying ME3 right now, first time in years. I remembered this track was in it, but not where. Yesterday I did the Jacob/Cerberus mission... turned the effects volume to 50%, dialogue to 0%, and stayed in the mission fifteen minutes longer than I needed to lol.
Yeah definitely. It's featured in the Jacob mission though. That's a step in the right direction ^^
Best song of the series. I use this to work out
Point taken Shepard, Capturing epic music.
Tali is my favorite charicter
+Trayan Queen Agreed!
+Trayan Queen
I'm more of a Garrus or Mordin fan myself, but she does have a very interesting character. :)
@@LocalHolehead I think differently. I hate Quarians. Every time I'm killing them even if I can make peace between Geth and Quarians.
@@bez_znaczenia **uploads code with malicious intent**
Just freaking epic music as well as the game!
This song is toxic. makes me listen again and again.
Honestly this was a sad dlc though as he didn’t mean to hurt people. He kind of lost his mind connected to a machine and showing the danger of why not to mix a human mind with machines
I killed Ashley without regrets but couldn't keep David for Cerberus
Well ofc you shouldn’t
You need to put David in Grissom Academy (if I remember correctly the name of academy, bc I finished the trilogy years ago), so there are people who will care properly genius uniques like David.

Never! You are nothing more than a machine, and Machines can be broken!

This theme meant you could die at any minute. So many Geth Prime.
Back when Mass Effect meant something.
Leviathan dlc and arrival dlc where the best in my book ... Oh!! And citadel of course !!!!
Shadow Broker
Badass fighting music in a game.
I use this theme when I am fighting in Fallout
WE WILL HOLD THE LINE
I love this theme, but for some reason I associate with Vega; he's a powerful character and it's a powerful piece of music.
I could t associate it with vega due to me being introduced to it via overlord in me2 and Davids theme is this melody it follows. I can see what u mean tho
Bad insanity memories:
Vanguard Shepard: I'm charging that prime.
Miranda and Tali: Please dont.
Vanguard Shepard charges the Prime and dies thanks to the Pyro nearby.
Infiltrator Shep: Grunt kill those geth while I position myself. Garrus/Zaeed provide cover.
Whole party kill.
Quiet please TURN IT UP.
Yes. (PS you can put it on your xbox harddrive, mute the game music and play this... highly recommended...)
Bloody epic soundtrack is all I can say :) GJ bIoware don't let E.A. kick yer in the nuts
I'M COMING, DAVID! I'LL MAKE IT QUIET! I'LL MAKE IT STOP!
If Harbinger had been a boss fight, this is the song that should have been played :)
The square root of 906.01 is.....
30.1...
"what I did to David It's unethical, If he dies It's unforgivable"
"it all seemed harmless..."
Look up The Scientists ME3, that's the song you're looking for.
Best combat track in the series. Easy.
i dont really like this dlc but i like this music ^^
+Tomasu Dono
I find that DLC to be very good.
I defeated Sovereign and the Geth at the Citadel, I defeated the Collectors beyond the Omega four Relay, You can and will be defeated!
Dont forget the combat theme's from Ilos and Virmire
allredbedear
what's the name of the song when you beat david and are given the choice to either set him free or let him remain a test subject?
David's theme
Still prefer the Mass Effect Virmire Assault theme :)
this is good though
the surkesh one from me 3 is also far far up the ladder :)
YOU HAD TO JINX IT!!
ME3 Multiplayer on PLATINUM!
A fucking nightmare filled with clutching every single wave.
imagine u heard from metroid
im patrial to the ilos combat mucis
does it also sound in the jacob mission in me3?
Yes, at gellix I think with all of the Ex-Cerberus (which is where you'll find Jacob in ME3 if he survived the Suicide Mission in ME2) when your fixing the Anti Air guns.
...You had to jinx it.
Yes it does, when you're rerouting the dish and anti-air guns I believe.
Yup.
Still playing to this day.
Shepard:Ready Garrus?
Garrus:Let them do their vorst!!
what mission does this play on?
Shutdown Overlord DLC
Pvt. Jenkins yeah sorry i kinda made this comment before i knew what the Overlord DLC was
Shutdown and the 'fuel reactors' and 'evacuate the ex Cerberus scientists' missions in ME3
What? It's plenty loud-
Oh. I see what you did there.
apart from that i mean
Never
ahh so long as harbinger doesn't sees this clip the dislike will remain zero
He saw it. And he disliked...
*FUCK!!!*
Who's excited for mass effect Andromeda ? I sure as shit am!
This comment aged well.
