Sorry gentelments.... the game/ the war, is over😢. We can't play it again, we can't play this game with your friends, we can't do anithing for this game...... I'm sorry😢
Favorite memory from this game is playing a Paratrooper who stole a Panzer 4, King Tiger, Halftrack APC, etc.. it became an in-joke that my Paratrooper was simply hell bent on capturing enemy vehicles.
I like how people say its unbalanced and everything, when in real war, you don't go up to your enemy and say ok. I'm goin to have a fighter squadron, armor and some infantry, and your going to fight me with the same thing that I'm fighting you with so its even. Its just not how war works, the goal is to win no matter what it is. You want to out-do your enemy and make sure that they don't get what they want. This game is realistic with it being "unbalanced" In WWII, you didn't know what you were going against. Its even what my grandfather said. He was one of the first one the Normandy beach and he wasn't expecting what was there.
They sure messed up this game, I remember it just came out and it was mind blowing how next-gen the game felt and how the game played. Had so many fun times playing the game but at some point I came back onboard years later and it was a hollow shell of what it used to be. Seems they were laser focused on making money and forgot that the players also want something
Theres a video out there that explain a lot of the financial mess H&G was into, sad to think they were constantly fucked while we played through the years
This music reminds me of the technological superiority that germany displayed during WWII. To me the sound resembles a factory, or machines working. A very techy+/mechanical and metallic theme.
German Theme: Mechanical and powerful. Represents the Superiority of the Reich’s technology and Industry, and fits their grey and black uniforms. Soviet Theme: More Eastern, and Patriotic. Represents how the Russians didn’t give up, and fought to defend their Motherland, even when faced with an Enemy as powerful as Germany. U.S. Theme: Sounds like the theme of the Underdog, Liberation, and Hope. Represents how the Americans were willing to fight a war with the Nazis to help their Allies and defend themselves in the Process. All of these themes were masterfully done for each country in my opinion. They really fit the Aesthetic of all of them well.
the devs have said they plan on adding most nations into this game, and with just those 6 nations organized along the alliance lines of Allies, Axis, and Comintern; itd be fine Plus with all of North Africa Like its a big map, really you think itd be crowded?
Since it will be a huge map when the factions are added. There won't be the availability to have a second server yet. In all my games I have either met the same players or very old ones from other previous matches, well it might be matchmaking though...

@@Julian-nb7wr Out of the 3 games (Postscriptum and Hell let loose) it's the most "arcade". It's the most complex in terms of organizing the troops and research takes ages.

When I think about the soldiers for the themes of Heroes and Generals I think this: American theme: A platoon of soldiers walking over a hill, you see them appearing from the horizon, they are tired but they know that they have to fight to reach their target. German theme: A bunch of soldiers with discipline, they got the newest uniforms, the best technology and they seem kind of terrific. Soviet theme: Soldiers at a parade, standing there and saluting their flag. They will die for their country.

i declare this track the best of all the army themes! Guess germany the masterful military power it was deserved as much. Can't stop listening - phone, computer.
Germany had the best tanks, (Tiger 2 Henschel, Panther, Maus) the best aircraft, (Me 262 one of the first jet fighters to see combat during WW2, BF 109, Focke Wulf) the best small arms (MG 42 the best machine gun in the world at the time, STG 44 the worlds first assault rifle, the Gewehr used by the Fallschirmjäger and the FG 42) the best training (At the beginning of the war anyway) the best troops (Fallschirmjäger, Sturmtruppen, Panzer Grenadiers). Germany held many titles during WW2 and I hate how everyone thinks of them as the bad guys, they weren't. The SS, the Nazis were. They performed the brutal killings of innocents, not the German army. Germany almost conquered all of Europe and was fighting on multiple fronts with the combined forces of Russia, America and Britain and they managed to hold out for 5 years, Germany brought so many advances in military technologies, the modern tank designs and aircraft designs were all derived from stolen German intel when they lost the war. The Mig 15 and the Sabre both used swept wings which was a German idea that was implemented onto the Me 262. Germany will always have my respect because they were one of the most powerful military forces on Earth during WW2. (I forgot to mention they were the first to use rockets, the V1 & V2 and U-Boats)
Caleb Brayton The Maus was not bad at all. It was nearly indestructible to other tanks of the time, nothing would have been able to stand up to it. But it took so much resources and time to make that they just were not efficient. There were 2 Maus tanks built. One was completely finished and the other had a wooden turret as a place holder until it's real turret was finished being produced. The fully complete Maus was used to defend the factory that it was built in and only lasted a few days before it was destroyed by a strafing run from American aircraft that set of it's ammo rack in the hull, completely destroying the hull of the tank but the turret was almost 100% intact. The other Maus never saw combat and was captured by the Russians as a trophy. They acquired the turret of the destroyed Maus and then used that turret on the hull of the intact Maus and replaced the wooden turret. That tank is now in the Kubinka tank museum in Russia, it doesn't work sadly as almost all of the inside components were completely destroyed and the secrets to making the Maus were lost due to heavy bombing on the factory that it was made in destroying the blueprints. The Maus was too slow and heavy, to do maintenance on the tank was extremely difficult and would put it out of combat for weeks. It was a sitting duck for aircraft to just drop bombs on it and it was a very large target. It couldn't cross any bridge of the time as it would just break it due to it's incredible weight. I think the Maus was an engineering marvel, but it was too difficult to produce and was flawed because aircraft could destroy it so easily. But if you put aside the issue of aircraft, the Maus would easily take on entire columns of tanks and destroy them. It had a 128mm main gun that could easily destroy any tank of the time, it had a secondary 75mm gun to take out weaker targets like infantry or armored cars. The Russians biggest tank gun at the time was the 122mm on the IS-2 which couldn't even come close to penetrating the front. The Americans biggest gun during WW2 I believe was the 90mm on the Pershing which again was way too weak to even come close to destroying the Maus. Germany made amazing machines during WW2 and only idiots will deny that. Germany is still making amazing tanks today, the Leopard 2 which is one of the best tanks in the world.
***** Actually the V2 rocket was the world first long ranged guided ballistic missle. That with the atomic bomb would'uv doubled Germanys effort against the allies especially Russia would be dead. Along with the Horten Ho 229 Germany would easily avoid radar and disrupt ally supply lines and runways. Germany would'uv been the top military power in weapons but nope they lost.
***** You can say that made amazing machines during WW2 and sure they were pushing the limits of their technology but the thing is their "masterpieces" took too long to refine, early models of tigers and panthers where plagued with mechanical issues and improper crew training, when the Tiger II rolled onto the scene you had a hugely overweight vehicle with the same transmission and engine as the Tiger 1, they were impressive machines no doupt and when they first appeared they had no equal but the mechanical faults, improper crew training aswell as lack of supplies led to the vehicles performing way below their expectations.
The power of The Wehrmacht demanded respect. Demanded attention and incurred fear among those who were underneath their iron boot, their clanking metal and overwhelming might of industrial power and spirit. An army truly ahead of its time but a force wasted on madness and evil ambitions. I won't defend a single Nazi, their politics and their goals but what I will say that, as just a massive military force, Germany had the best time had to offer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Kriegsmarine had warships that was not only beautiful but extremely powerful despite lacking numbers. Can you imagine the H-44 class of Battleships roaming the seas escorted by the Bismarcks? Yeah... ESCORTS. Their U-boats covering their territory with their signature and sleek designs and admirably amazing technology performing deep sea patrols. Who the hell would dare cross into their waters without authorization? Especially with Graf Zepplin-class carriers roaming with not only large quantities of aircraft to cover their powerful navy but the carriers themself strong enough with absurd secondary armament in case a ship or squadron would break through to the carrier and inflict damage upon it. The Lufftwaffe with some of the most brilliant looking aircraft that were designed for their role. Combat and defense when necessary. FW-190T Focke-wulfs piloted by extraordinary aces of Germany with flocks of Messerschmidt BF-109s following them into battle when called upon. They would set the stone of the jet age with their Me-262s and HO-229 designs, hell, the HO-229 was WAY ahead of its time. The B-2 Spirit bombers didn't come until the late 1980s and introduced in 1997 due to cost and of course, role as "Stealth bombers". But these "flying wings" were in 1945! Imagine Germany leading the charge of the space race? Then the ground pounders of The Wehrmacht with their intelligent tactics, their superior weaponry alongside their specialized troops like the fallschirmjäger paratroop regiments with their fancy STG-44s and very interesting FG-42 rifles would make any nation of ANY caliber question their desire to attack such a powerful nation. Not just their weapons but their training and iron will to crush their enemies in more ways than 5. Their vehicles were powerful and their tanks even moreso. The legendary STUGs and Tigers were feared and the stories of King Tigers even moreso. The Maus and E-100s would set the stone as damn-near impenetrable fortresses that no tank could match and then some. Can you really imagine a world where this kind of power, this strength and awesome yet terrifying and commanding stand Germany held and them being allies? A powerhouse that if any nation wanted the world under their thumbs, Germany would; by itself, kick the living crap out of them? This song really captures their might and potential longivity in the world. The possibilities of what could have been if it wasn't for madness, political power and revenge from the past world war. So much to say, so much we could imagine, evil or good. My hat to you Jesper Kyd, you made a splendid theme indeed to make my mind roam, music like this always puts me into a state like this.
@Noa Rosin You do have a Point. When I see the H44, all I see are just 8 Big Guns and a lot more Unused Deck Space. Given time the Graf Zeppelin could've been Successful, it's just that they didn't finish her due to Certain Land Campaigns requiring more Attention, after all by 1942 Germany is fighting a Two-Front War, but unlike the US, they're surrounded by Land on both Fronts, not Water, you can see where this is going. But still, if Germany had been more Friendly with Japan, maybe the Latter could've sent some Friendly Designers over to help on the Graf Zeppelin and Future Carriers made by Germany, and the Former could deal with their US Problem, just after they focus more on taking Africa than Britain. The Battle of Britain is a Disaster, but why not just Blockade the Channel? I could be wrong though, this is all just my Opinion. If Germany had more Competence (and by extension: Japan), we wouldn't have Operation Barbarossa until later than 1945, where Germany would still be fighting alongside Japan.
@Noa Rosin Battleships and others are not entirely useless. Even though they dont have the land capabilities like aircraft carriers do, they still can play the role of artillery in bombarding naval ports and cities, definitely giving a huge blow. And they also need to protect the carriers from other things, as... Well... Carriers dont really have guns. Best escorted with than without.
well ww2 was era of submarines and aviation speaking of naval war graf zeppelin would get pounded even by british ark royal germans had an superior edge on submarine technology but their plan z was a laughing stock todays supercarriers have a tonnage of 101k h44 was supposed to be 145k tons in 1940s it would sink before it left the harbor

Well you’re in luck cause there’s a couple guys that are working on getting a server back up for this game and are allegedly getting close getting it playable again but everyone will have to start from scratch. It’ll be either late December or early into next year, but they’re trying to get things up and going before Christmas.
Lore-wise it makes complete sense. Germany was a technological juggernaut during WW2 and this music reflects it perfectly.. Some people wonder why the Soviets and the Americans are no longer on the same side. I say it's because it takes place in an alternate timeline where Germany's armored superiority allowed them to prolong the war. The final offensive across the Rhine grinded to a halt, with Germany successfully surviving the onslaught of American and Soviet troops. Despite victory across Europe being in their grasp, they were forced to retreat. Germany stages a counteroffensive, retaking most of Europe. Stalin grows impatient from the Americans' apparent incompetence, and declares the Soviet Union an independent nation, representing neither the Allies, nor the Axis. Germany and the Soviet Union are now both enemies of America, and the Japanese, British Commonwealth, and French forces have declared a ceasefire, as the war has devastated them economically. They continue to support the war effort, but are no longer capable of fighting it themselves, leaving America to fend for itself.
The transition starting from 1:15 onward is simply beautiful. I feel the music is hinting that behind the ugly reality of faschism - in the end desperate men and women were striving and fighting to protect everything they held dear from the onslaught of vengeful nations - finally realising that a madman led them into a war they couldnt possibly win.
A very nice theme, a bit weird at the start when you are not used to it. But srly, this theme represent completly the axis, aggressive, no mercy. A slow mass destruction army unstoppable. Thank's for uploading it. :)

***** Actually the V2 rocket was the world first long ranged guided ballistic missle. That with the atomic bomb would'uv doubled Germanys effort against the allies especially Russia would be dead. Along with the Horten Ho 229 Germany would easily avoid radar and disrupt ally supply lines and runways. Germany would'uv been the top military power in weapons but nope they lost.
***** You can say that made amazing machines during WW2 and sure they were pushing the limits of their technology but the thing is their "masterpieces" took too long to refine, early models of tigers and panthers where plagued with mechanical issues and improper crew training, when the Tiger II rolled onto the scene you had a hugely overweight vehicle with the same transmission and engine as the Tiger 1, they were impressive machines no doupt and when they first appeared they had no equal but the mechanical faults, improper crew training aswell as lack of supplies led to the vehicles performing way below their expectations.
this is the faction that has won the most wars (in game)
usually now, Soviets are also the big win wins now
poor US..... they never won a war...
+Yellow13ear Germany are campers haha fuck you
Don't forget the Soviets, they camp in a corner pretending to be Vasily Zaytsev with PTRD's and PPS-43's.
+Frost RC US is best faction lmao
Every single sound of the german theme is cool and epic.
I had no idea Jesper Kyd did the music for H&G. But as soon as I heard it, it thought it sounded like Hitman. :)
You really good son maybe even the best....
now this is blitzkrieg.
The power of The Wehrmacht demanded respect. Demanded attention and incurred fear among those who were underneath their iron boot, their clanking metal and overwhelming might of industrial power and spirit. An army truly ahead of its time but a force wasted on madness and evil ambitions. I won't defend a single Nazi, their politics and their goals but what I will say that, as just a massive military force, Germany had the best time had to offer.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Kriegsmarine had warships that was not only beautiful but extremely powerful despite lacking numbers. Can you imagine the H-44 class of Battleships roaming the seas escorted by the Bismarcks? Yeah... ESCORTS. Their U-boats covering their territory with their signature and sleek designs and admirably amazing technology performing deep sea patrols. Who the hell would dare cross into their waters without authorization? Especially with Graf Zepplin-class carriers roaming with not only large quantities of aircraft to cover their powerful navy but the carriers themself strong enough with absurd secondary armament in case a ship or squadron would break through to the carrier and inflict damage upon it.
The Lufftwaffe with some of the most brilliant looking aircraft that were designed for their role. Combat and defense when necessary. FW-190T Focke-wulfs piloted by extraordinary aces of Germany with flocks of Messerschmidt BF-109s following them into battle when called upon. They would set the stone of the jet age with their Me-262s and HO-229 designs, hell, the HO-229 was WAY ahead of its time. The B-2 Spirit bombers didn't come until the late 1980s and introduced in 1997 due to cost and of course, role as "Stealth bombers". But these "flying wings" were in 1945! Imagine Germany leading the charge of the space race?
Then the ground pounders of The Wehrmacht with their intelligent tactics, their superior weaponry alongside their specialized troops like the fallschirmjäger paratroop regiments with their fancy STG-44s and very interesting FG-42 rifles would make any nation of ANY caliber question their desire to attack such a powerful nation. Not just their weapons but their training and iron will to crush their enemies in more ways than 5. Their vehicles were powerful and their tanks even moreso. The legendary STUGs and Tigers were feared and the stories of King Tigers even moreso. The Maus and E-100s would set the stone as damn-near impenetrable fortresses that no tank could match and then some.
Can you really imagine a world where this kind of power, this strength and awesome yet terrifying and commanding stand Germany held and them being allies? A powerhouse that if any nation wanted the world under their thumbs, Germany would; by itself, kick the living crap out of them? This song really captures their might and potential longivity in the world. The possibilities of what could have been if it wasn't for madness, political power and revenge from the past world war. So much to say, so much we could imagine, evil or good. My hat to you Jesper Kyd, you made a splendid theme indeed to make my mind roam, music like this always puts me into a state like this.
@Noa Rosin You do have a Point.
When I see the H44, all I see are just 8 Big Guns and a lot more Unused Deck Space.
Given time the Graf Zeppelin could've been Successful, it's just that they didn't finish her due to Certain Land Campaigns requiring more Attention, after all by 1942 Germany is fighting a Two-Front War, but unlike the US, they're surrounded by Land on both Fronts, not Water, you can see where this is going.
But still, if Germany had been more Friendly with Japan, maybe the Latter could've sent some Friendly Designers over to help on the Graf Zeppelin and Future Carriers made by Germany, and the Former could deal with their US Problem, just after they focus more on taking Africa than Britain.
The Battle of Britain is a Disaster, but why not just Blockade the Channel?
I could be wrong though, this is all just my Opinion.
If Germany had more Competence (and by extension: Japan), we wouldn't have Operation Barbarossa until later than 1945, where Germany would still be fighting alongside Japan.
@Noa Rosin Battleships and others are not entirely useless. Even though they dont have the land capabilities like aircraft carriers do, they still can play the role of artillery in bombarding naval ports and cities, definitely giving a huge blow. And they also need to protect the carriers from other things, as... Well... Carriers dont really have guns. Best escorted with than without.
well ww2 was era of submarines and aviation speaking of naval war
graf zeppelin would get pounded even by british ark royal
germans had an superior edge on submarine technology but their plan z was a laughing stock
todays supercarriers have a tonnage of 101k h44 was supposed to be 145k tons in 1940s
it would sink before it left the harbor
Cant agree more
........Then there's the Soviet Union.......
Hearing this theme will remind you every time a german tank jumped infront of you mid-round.
Ww2 is over guys, we can finally go home, f HG
Dieselpunk...just pure heavy industrial dieselpunk. If you close youre eyes to this music you van litteraly see the mechanical horror machines manufactured in an automated factory.
Best theme
We should create a discord server for old Heroes and General veteran to play other ww2 shooter
I agree
This theme needs to be played next time German football team plays.
I play them for 5 reasons
1: German bloodline
2:Better weapons
3:Nice uniforms
4:Awesome players and good teammates
5:A SWEET ASS MUSIC
Reason 1 kinda sus (-_ -
"Be Dressed To Kill, With HUGO BOSS" ™
edit: num1 whoa
i played the USA for 4 reasons
1. I'm scottish and the USA starts out with Scotland so i get to fight for Scotland
2. The USA is (or at least, in theory is) a Democracy and democracy kicks ass
3. They Won
4. FREEDOM
2:06 win
love this game
This reminds me to the superior German might that is marching into the enemy, all the fearless tanks are going to dominate the battlefield
well it's GG gentlemen.о7
Oh the fucking legend who also created AC 2 theme
I just found out the same thing hahaa
Du bist der beste Dank.
Play it at 1.5 speed. The best.
Tried it is epic
Los gehts! *Wir greifen an*
One word: Eargasm.
This is the type of song you play when you roll a tank battalion as a staggered line through an open pasture to envelope a small town, the commander giving the order to shoot any who flee, while he closes the hatch to his Tiger II.
in from the balkans and i fight for the germans
fun fact:the tigers front is *THICC* enough to deflect a shot from jumbo sherman
this is what i see
germany:
inf:400
bikes:20
cars:30
russia:
inf:1200
cars:300
bikes;200
tanks all tanks together 90
:/how can u win wars
Many Germans have heavy machine guns (try to kill them in building) and anti tank guns and even vehicles have just as many as Soviets or Americans.
Que nostalgia, simplemente un juego increíble, que no tenía que nada que envidiarle a los battlefield en cuanto a jugabilidad y desarrollo. Si es cierto que sus gráficos fueron bastantes controversiales pero era un juegazo, que marcó una época muy linda de recordar para muchos. Una lastima que sus desarrolladores no siguieran adelante con el juego, porque realmente hasta el día de hoy se seguiría jugando de forma masiva. Att. GiulioAlee más de 2.500 horas jugadas probablemente
Just noticed that this was the same guy that made Ezio's family. immediately clicked right after
O M G IT IS THE BEST OST I HAVE EVER HEARD
The fact that this song is so deliberately evil is actually comical.
How do you mean?
i want H&G back ;(, man i miss my german soldier with erbsentarn
Well you’re in luck cause there’s a couple guys that are working on getting a server back up for this game and are allegedly getting close getting it playable again but everyone will have to start from scratch. It’ll be either late December or early into next year, but they’re trying to get things up and going before Christmas.
@ Bro u Kidding? I swear to god if this real, im gonna cry
@@snaketanker my friend, Where Can i see it? I search everything But cant anything
@@snaketanker where did you get this info? can you please share, because this would make me so happy if this were true
"German science is the finest"👌
Lore-wise it makes complete sense. Germany was a technological juggernaut during WW2 and this music reflects it perfectly..
Some people wonder why the Soviets and the Americans are no longer on the same side. I say it's because it takes place in an alternate timeline where Germany's armored superiority allowed them to prolong the war. The final offensive across the Rhine grinded to a halt, with Germany successfully surviving the onslaught of American and Soviet troops. Despite victory across Europe being in their grasp, they were forced to retreat.
Germany stages a counteroffensive, retaking most of Europe. Stalin grows impatient from the Americans' apparent incompetence, and declares the Soviet Union an independent nation, representing neither the Allies, nor the Axis.
Germany and the Soviet Union are now both enemies of America, and the Japanese, British Commonwealth, and French forces have declared a ceasefire, as the war has devastated them economically. They continue to support the war effort, but are no longer capable of fighting it themselves, leaving America to fend for itself.
gave me goosebumps
its a good track . It feels like some heavy vehicle like tank is moving
I like it
The transition starting from 1:15 onward is simply beautiful. I feel the music is hinting that behind the ugly reality of faschism - in the end desperate men and women were striving and fighting to protect everything they held dear from the onslaught of vengeful nations - finally realising that a madman led them into a war they couldnt possibly win.
A very nice theme, a bit weird at the start when you are not used to it.
But srly, this theme represent completly the axis, aggressive, no mercy. A slow mass destruction army unstoppable.
Thank's for uploading it. :)
Great theme, i never played this game, but i like it already. Wehrmacht all the Way...
87ONYX14 what are you doing the game is free!
That's the sound of the blitzkrieg
my german characters is now level 7 when soviet-american was level 1
xddddd
bro now he's level nothing
This Song So Great
2:41, when the panzers roll in.
I missed that old good times when Reto is Reto.
This theme sunds badass
The German theme is different in the Utz update. Someone please upload that one!
***** you are everywhere are you bruva.
daneil franklin Grammar must be implemented before the comment is approved by the Ordo Alfus.
***** ahahhahah, 'kay.
+Guardsman Boris You can change it in settings to the old theme. I did, and i'm happy.
This song is Very Patriotic
the way the war is going in heros and generals this is a motivational song for us players who chose the germans to take back berlin
It sounds very machinelike and appropriate for the German 'War Machine' during WWII. I likey.
I used this song in one of my videos. It fits perfectly.
Flyz it Dies..... You need permission from Reto Moto and the composer to do that...
Press F H&G

Sometimes I just hope the resources are gone so I can hear the amazing cutout that goes from 1:58 until 2:07.
2:29 reminds me so musch of plants vs zombies
Very powerful.
1:30 to 1:50 is my favorite part
i like this song
Reminds me of the Superior German Blitzkrieg
So damn good. Jesper Kyd is a magician.
1:30 - 2:06 is amazing!
Why do I never hear this in-game?
i hear this in the respawn
Go options and select german theme from default theme window.
I heard it randomly while playing with a friend. Maybe there was some speakers.
Options > audio > theme
***** also a part of it plays when germany captures a point
2:07 Germany won the match again
When the Americans think they've won the war by Christmas.
