Seriously I never realised when I played this like 12 years ago that this music is SERIOUSLY well written. Extremely good music! And Awesome game as well!
Back when I ripped my CD years ago, I needed titles for all of these songs in my iTunes - for some reason, this one had (and still has) the title "Swamps of Sorrowwwww".
Warcraft II will always have special place in my heart, because it was the very first RTS game I ever played... altough I loved Warcraft III even more (my favorite game of all time!) But Warcraft II really has the best soundtrack ever in RTS genre! This brings back so many memories and it just makes me wanna play Warcraft II once again =)
Wouldn't say so. This is more like a theme fit for observing the regular hustle of an Orc war camp. Very everyday orcish sort of vibe. This would fit a lore video about the Orcs as background.
Pretty sure, if this game wouldn't have been this beloved, there wouldn't have been a StarCraft game at all, so we kinda need to thank wc2 for the way esports has evolved

Blizzard used to say "You want to be the bad guy? Here you go! Now go kill those humans!" way better than "WE WERE THE GOOD GUYS ALL ALONG AND MISUNDERSTOOD"
Well they were both the bad guys and misunderstood, Blizzard fucked with the lore. If you read the old lore and clicked on the Orcish units, they are more like a warmongering Barbarian tribe that used evil magic than consciously evil. Their gods and leaders were evil or at least power hungry. They were too primitive to really be evil conceptually, the average Orc was doing what he believed was right. Not to say they were crying tear Indians in tune with nature like they were later portrayed, but their society didn't really have a philosophical concept of good and evil but right and wrong and they adhered to that. I wish Blizzard stayed with that conception of them, it would have made them interesting in Warcraft 3. They'd have reason to be hostile to the Humans and Night Elves while still forming pragmatic alliances with them like they did with Alterac.
Fun fact. If you play WoW and run a Horde character through Exile's Reach, you'll hear references to this song. It was annoying me so hard until I figured out what it was. 😂😂
World of Warcraft has brought this track back, its 8:25 in the pet battle theme. Remastered nicely too, Blizz is doing a lot of things right in this new Xpack =D

Now almost as much time has passed since he posted as had passed between when he played the game and when he originally posted.
Glenn Stafford, everybody! Give him a round of applause!
The man is a god damn genius! I'd be willing to go as far as calling him the western Nobuo Uematsu!
***** I can literally never get enough of it, I can listen to it for hours, and still love it!
***** Yup, he did all the music for the first StarCraft as well :P
***** Yup :D
Glenn Stafford helped with some of the StarCraft tracks as well.
Now this is the Orc theme I remember.
The Soundtrack of my Childhood. CD music quality was like playing a movie. It was outstanding at this time.
Harpsichord layering in all the orc tracks is some of my favorite music and one of my biggest influences in game audio! Love these tracks.
Thats not a harpsichord it's a xylophone made from the bones of peasants.
almost 30 years later and this soundtrack still slaps!!! Truly a GOAT'd MIDI soundtrack
My heart is jumping.
I hear the sound of the war.
It's coming. The season of war.
By the gods, there's a south korean on the loose
FOR THE HORDE!!!!!!!!
I am so glad that they reused this in Hearthstone
Well at least when looking for a game
It also had use in Escape from Durnholde during BC
@Carlos Martínez Lobato rly? which song?
Im just glad it stayed in wC3
Ever did pet fights in WoW? This is the background sound!

Happy times. The forgotten hardware, soundcards. Also love that they added this line in the option menu when checking sound config.
Co za klasyk... aż się łezka w oku kręci...
This song popped up in my head every now and then and now I know what it's from. I used to watch my Uncle play WarCraft 2 back in the day.
Heard it again in exile's reach and got goosebumps!
Same here! A nice little throwback. Alliance version is the same way!
Fucking nostalgia noooooo , when i was a nub with 7 years old
we need the old horde kind of death knights back in WoW
They would make a cool Necromancer spec for DKs
They were Warlocks. A more timid version of the spell used by the old Horde's Warlocks to become Death Knights is essentially Soulstone.
Deathwing also. Deathwing was horde first!
@@Gigameth89 WoW death knights are based on Wc3 dk's , a bunch of mini Arthas
@@henriquebitencourt4280 Sure, but this is WC2.
It doesn't get any better than this.
I have fond memories of the demo too. :)
This is a theme of conquest.

@@k85 agreed
One of the top songs from my entire gaming career.
For sure!
The opening bit in 6/4 time signature.
this brings me back.....lol me and my friend back in 97 use to dial up with modems to play some coop games ......good times..damn
Pretty sure, if this game wouldn't have been this beloved, there wouldn't have been a StarCraft game at all, so we kinda need to thank wc2 for the way esports has evolved
Here I am again 10 years later
🎉 2023. Earth still spinning.
Hearing the flute melody from this in the new WoW starter zone brought back great memories...
My new wow friends who dont give a damn about lore or rst warcraft rolled their eyes when I got excited by that starting zone music
-Gets bored waiting for upgrades and farms to be built...Pokes sheep until Epic Explosion can occur.-
Just perfect. This piece of music is a masterpiece. And yes, the orcs in WC2 were ALOT cooler than WOWs "new" orcs.
well said !!!! 8 years later
Agreed
One of the best game soundtracks EVER! The days i didnt mute the game music to put a playlist on cause the game music was AWESOME!
Best game soundtrack ever!
Litterally has been on my mind as I play Grom in Total War Warhammer 2 as I conquer the world.
Damn I don't even play wc2 yet this is one of my favorite blizzard music track
Music in Warcraft 2 is a masterpiece. :}
Brings back so many memories
This is a brilliant, marvelous track.
Dam i love that song
This game made me start lovin' medieval fantasy
The part after 01:35 gives me goosebumps every time.
This song is the more ORC SONG ever written
Imho this is the best game soundtrack.
Of course, Mastaaaaaaaa...............
this and starcraft 1 is amazing, diablo 2 was pretty damn good aswell
don't forgot serious Sam (3 especially)
Diablo 1 music > Diablo 2 music
Nope Diablo 2 is better.
wc2 is what got me started on beeing a serious gamer no matter how good the new games are with there gaphics wc2 will all was have my heart

YOUR SOUNDCARD WORKS PERFECTLY!
OMG Trying to translate this to sheet music by ear is way too hard!
extract midi to notes?
By far the best Warcraft track from Warcraft 1 to WOW and back again
Still kicks ass.
This music alone makes me miss the old times.
I always knew I was gonna win if this popped up during gameplay back when.
Warcraft 2 is legendary game
Blizzard used to say "You want to be the bad guy? Here you go! Now go kill those humans!"
way better than "WE WERE THE GOOD GUYS ALL ALONG AND MISUNDERSTOOD"
Well, now Blizzard is the bad guys instead.
Well they were both the bad guys and misunderstood, Blizzard fucked with the lore. If you read the old lore and clicked on the Orcish units, they are more like a warmongering Barbarian tribe that used evil magic than consciously evil.

@@theoutlander1411 The old horde made a path of bones the lead to the dark portal. They knew they were evil lmao.
The old orcs are very boring
To be fair, good orc, let alone protagonist, was a new concept, when blizzard did it. But I get, what You mean.
it was a great game and i loved the map editor ^^
It's just so freaking great...
A gold mine has collapsed! Oooh how mysterious. Which one could it be? D:
This pairs well with damn near any tabletop game. D&D, Pathfinder, Battletech, Warhammer, etc.
*nose Bleeding of epicness*
Best soundtrack ever made for a game
Original WC2 disk doubles as a music CD with all the soundtracks plus a bonus hilarious track xD
love this song for some reason
Love this OST
My favorite Warcraft music!
this is a awesome soundtrack
Fun fact. If you play WoW and run a Horde character through Exile's Reach, you'll hear references to this song. It was annoying me so hard until I figured out what it was. 😂😂
my favorite warcraft song EVER!!!
Awesome!
I love playin WoW while listening to wc2 music
This song basically is Warcraft. When someone name drops, this is what comes to mind. “Zug zug.”
thank you so much man!
Chop chop!
Great theme of conquest.
used to listen to this in my stereo as a kid :D:D
Best track in the whole war craft franchise. Starcraft's Terran 1 & 3 maybe beat it out ... maybe ...
@shrint Warcraft 2 had monster good graphics when it came out. At least that's how I remember it, I remember being in awe over the fire animations.
ZUG ZUG! SOMETHING NEED DOING? WORK WORK!
Not from this game man -.-
Olagfigh ?
bloodcheif huh?

Those quotes aren't from Warcraft 2.
i wasn't quoting... i don't see any quotation marks...
back when Death knights were Death knights....
I miss this game so much ;(
My childhood memorise made me do it!
thx
Thank you, for the Horde!
When I was hooked on this game, I thought this was a human theme. Since it plays when the Alliance invades Draenor.
oh man... i can feel my childhood....
Yes? Very well!
Yes?
Ofcourse.
Im growing impatient !
"GRRaughNGNgnnn"!
When my work is finished im coming back for you.
Still the best ever...
FOR THE HORDE !!!!!!!
Ready to work!
I'm so happy they put this song in the WoW pet-battling. It gave me a nostalgia-punch to the face.
World of Warcraft has brought this track back, its 8:25 in the pet battle theme. Remastered nicely too, Blizz is doing a lot of things right in this new Xpack =D
they were always that way, the orcs shown during wc 1 and 2 were the ones that drank demon blood in their pact with the burning legion.
You lived a sad childhood...
Well said, totally agree
Ah the memories..
1:36 - 2:17 goosegumps
Best song of Warcraft
Ahhh childhood..
17 town´s are under siege
I'm nearly crying ...
