Dark Reign 2 Soundtrack OST (1)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- In my opinion, probably the best game soundtrack I've ever heard.
The soundtrack was taken from Dark Reign 2, an old RTS game developed by Pandemic Studios back in 2000.
I don't really know who made the soundtrack, but I guess it's Eric Klein or Christian A. Salyer.
Go to my channel for the link to the full soundtrack.

OMG Im reliving my childhood. This game was The best
This track really speaks to me in so many layers,as a writer this gives me a sense of a dark and dystopian future and the echoes of the past that was once blissful compared to the present timeline of dark reign and what's to come(dark reign 2).This track really executed the atmosphere of the grim future of earth and the desperate fight between the last forces of humanity.
I still have the CD game, simply because you can pop it into a CD player and listen to the soundtrack. Totally one of the best soundtracks ever.
I got this in the original box sealed at a half price books for 6 bucks.
Had no idea what I was getting myself into until I opened the game and this popped up.
Still haven’t forgotten about this gem of a game 💎
Can't get over how good that drop is at 3:00
Shit has literally been in my head for over a decade now. Even when I play guitar that lead comes out
sounds so late 90's early 00's something like matrix etc
Man, I couldn't agree with you more. It's a pity that there are no more soundtracks like this.
The only game that comes close is Halo, though its soundtrack pales in comparison to Dark Reign's one.
i really love this track not just by its dystopian atmosphere but having super smooth transition between 1:38 ~ 3:00
My childhood
Indeed, 97 was a LONG time ago. For me it was either Brood War or this on the potato pentium.
So glad you've archived this.
Awesome! I still have the game disc in my collection.
Same here. Great game.
one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard in a game for sure
I've ran down sunset beaches and climbed peaks of mountains to this composition. Truly inspiring and motivational. Actually, words fail me. Masterful composition that has carried way beyond my childhood of playing this game
GOD! THis is why i love playing this game no matter how old it is, it's fun, and it keeps me on the key board as long as the music is playing.!
That takes me back... huh, so much memories. Best OST ever.
Wow, this brings back so much memories. Best OST ever :D
Can't understand why this game was so underappreciated
tracks still awesome even up to this day
2000...wow such a good year with great music.
The music in dark reign 1 and 2 are great. I listen to them while I work. They are freaking amazing!
God this game brings back so many great memories
Thanks for this music mate, it brings back memories.
Love this game lol. Still have it on GOG.com . gonna add this to my RTS music collection, thank you!
This soundtrack is still so fucking good.
damn this song chills me out...I got this game and the first one cheap as hell a few years ago on GOG
It's no surprise Activision came up with such good soundtracks, anyone remember the Mechwarrior 2 soundtrack?
This is really so much more better than the original DR soundtrack and ten times more cinematic.
Loved the pop limit in this game lol.
i totally agree with you !! i love this game! i wish i had it still :(
Even now its really awesome... 2:18 and 3:06 best old school parts start. Also number 6 in OST list is great.
Enemy sighted! (Let your imagination put a voice to those words)
One of my fav game sound tracks :D
My childhood was the best with this game though
You're welcome. I think I stored the rest of them in my old computer's hard disk. Don't worry though, I'll upload them for you if I manage to find them.
Dont ever remove please
...nearly finished the sprawler campaing (3 missions left)
...this soundtrack is my favorite.
Classic tunes for a classic game....
I cant stop listening to this xD
Ok, uploaded.
I remeber playing this game back in 2000 I think I was only 11 lol even my pc couldnt handle this at full performance lol
This game is now for sale on GOG. Go scoop it up and have both the game and music files.
Gotta say, for a game of its age, it can look pretty damn good
Ive got goosebumps, oh the nostalgia xD
@ KnightOfCydonia90 I actually got this running on windows 7! all I did was right clicked the cd drive and explore cd, then I clicked on autorun for some reason whenever I tried to play the cd directly it would come up with some kind of problem and wouldn't install, but autorun in the cd directory gave me no problems! After install, the game worked fine!
Beautifulll!!!!!!!
It works as a VPN, but it's not specifically multiplayer, just like a LAN game all over the world.
I know what you mean. I dug up the game recently and for ha-ha's installed it, finding myself surprised that it actually runs on my modern rig. I must say, the path-finding is irritating, when even on wide pathways, units go into single file
hauntingly good soundtrack
Damn, this game was the shit back then. One of the first online games I ever played. If you're out there, mecha king, I miss you! ;_;
I need that 2:20 synth part in a metal song.
Go to khinsider and click on the download link. It will take you to a webpage where you can search for the soundtrack.
It would've been easier if RUclips allowed me to post the website's url.
@Z3R0TH30RY Activision seems to just mine deeper into the once a year shooter genre. It would be hard to do that with RTS, since such minute changes won't be accepted unless it's a really established title like Starcraft.
Nah, I don't think we would be seeing a new one in the near future, as hard as it is to say it.
Christian A. Salyer. is composer
For goodness' sake - remake this game with the SAME OST :)
Hey Guys,
Dark Reign 2 player Zumo here. We have started a forum on facebook for all Dark Reign 2 players. All welcome!
Found your forum on facebook - am looking forward to being accepted.
God I miss this game
This is one of the greatest intro soundtracks for any game ever. Shame it was the highlight.
Are we gonna see new one for this? It's been a while that we haven't heard about this one.
3:22 My favorite part
If only games released these days had even 1% as good music as these older games tracks
@soldatsolidsquall Ahh those were the days :)
RIP Pandemic
i just finnished a 2 vs 8 match :D i ruled them, btw i can help those who got windows 7 cuz it's a bit tricky on installing the game
this is true!! I wonder what naems they are
I downloaded an iso (= Thank you anyways.(:
The Dark Reign 2 CD could be played as a standalone music CD. Tbh the music was supremely better than the game so it's become a lost gem. Brilliant track though. Superb
Agreed.
i uploaded track 2 awhile ago
I also think that DR2 soundtrack is great. My favourites are number one, five and six.
If it is the best... well, I wouldn't be too sure. Especially because of the fact, that StarCraft game music is better IMHO.
AMOKfaction uploaded it recently.
Alright...I'll upload track 7 then.
There are actually 7 tracks but there seems to be something wrong with their servers and files.
Really? Is the website down or are the files missing?
I agree with you about Dark Reign 3..but nowadays there are a lot of good RTS games out there, so if they ever made Dark Reign 3, they would be struggling to compete with the others.
I'm not saying the game isn't good, its just that they would have to implement new features to make the game unique and stand out from the crowd...in a good way, of course.
i think the website is down...yeah ur right..like C&C3,um..what else..well u know..plus they would have to sort of continue the DR2 story somehow..cuz i might be wrong about the story..cuz i never beat DR2 lol...both factions i was stuck at mission where u have like 20min to destroy the enemy base..so idk how the story ends
Not specifically, though.
this games works on windows 7? i thought xp would be the last one to be able to still run this game.
HOLY SHIT
world's biggest eatworm
ITS HAPPENING
GUYS, THE MULTIPLAYER IS BACK, DOWNLOAD HAMACHI AND TRY LOOKING FOR ANY DARK REIGN 2 SERVER, HERES ONE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO LOOK FOR ONE (network name: dark reign 2) (password: 123) NOTE: YOU MIGHT NOT FIND ANY ROOMS BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE AREN'T ONLINE AT THE TIME
FUCKING MATRIX SOUND AT THE START lol love this game
I've uploaded it. Check the video description.
Reminds me heavily of UT.
I got another DR2 soundtrack on my comp. So...do you want me to upload that too?
That s good
I tried that, didn't work.
What DID work was to install on a virtual old windows and copy/paste the files to my physical win7 computer.
It's been a while, I hope I don't mistake this with a solution for another oldg ame^^
Check out my other video's description.
ahh... how can i get this running today?
tried a virtual machine with win98 and win2k, but the games states that directx7 is missing, thoug it isn't. It gets installed along with the game.
And playing on win7 64bit? Hahahahahaha, fat chance!
any suggestions? :)
khinsider is missing track 2..is there really a missing track or did they screw up with the numbering?
idk XD..um i mean i can get the other tracks too...if u want to upload them...just dont upload the one i already did
Yeah, just google 'dark reign 2 soundtrack' and you will get a website.
2020 someone?
OMG Im reliving my childhood!!!!!!
Although a great game, DR2 surely had one annoying flaw - PATHFINDING! No matter, how large army I gathered, it was in vain, because all units moved on the same path - always forming a line. There was no way to attack in mass!
Have the original on CD do you want it?
well there is another site called galbadia hotel..they dont have it either...imagine if activision or pandemic made a Dark Reign 3..and it totaly blows away Starcraft 2..that would be one hell of a game :D
any of the old CLANWARS folks here?
If only i can fucking hear it in the game. I bought it for the gameplay and the music... Now I can't get the music to play cuz of songs stupid music disk mechanic... I have the digital version....
i HAVE A COPY You want it??
