Copy-pasting this mini analysis from Foxtrot19's original video since this post showcases the combat strings much more prominently. I only learned of the connection between this level and Valley of the Dolls recently, but it really puts the two songs into perspective. While Valley's soundtrack comes across as dignified hatred at Amos Voll and those who would defend him, Mindjot's track is more of a horrible realisation. Those strings are just so full of despair. Where Valley is anger toward the source, Mindjot is a feeling of societal disappointment; people work here, knowing full well what they're helping and doing nothing to stop it. Of course, there's also the layer of unavoidability that takes a bit of blame off these security guard's shoulders - some people just have no other options - but they knew full well what they were getting into if their trigger fingers are anything to go by. Valley of the Dolls is striking out at an inhuman evil. Mindjot is a resignation and sad acceptance that this evil will always exist - even being supported in the name of self-preservation.
@@a.k8185 Eh, maybe it is, maybe it isn't. No other track in the game has strings this depressing and I think that means something, though again we'll never know unless Zach confirms things.
Their asses know whats being kept on those servers. Their asses also know that a fate worse than death awaits them if the police gets their hands on it.
Had one experience on this map where I spawned in with my bot teammates and off the bat got injured and had two friendly bots die on me because one of the guards came outside while my character was doing the loading animation.
that happens in this and elephant as well..sometimes the one shooter wearing the gas mask spawns outside the school and immediately injures or domes you (suspect accuracy is pretty fuckin bullshit in this game at times) ...
I remember starting this mission with friends. And at first time we were approaching main doors, when it suddenly opened by guard with m4. My friend was in shock "WHICH DATA CENTER WE ARE RAIDING AND WE THEY HAVE PRIVATE MILITARY" ahahhaha loved it

Heh, More like they didn't want anyone to suddenly become a whistleblower to the authorities, so hired guards was sent to guard both the staff's safety and their dirty little secret.
@@UnknownOps Checks out as I remember overhearing a civvie in another room hearing my officer shouting orders for compliance at a security guard and he says roughly "Cops!? Oh thank God, arrest these fucking people quickly" or something to that effect. Sure, the worker could be pretending but most do seem relieved.
@@orionbarbalate4350 makes sense if it’s gov. I worked in federal DCs as well and I think I saw maybe 1-2 armed guards with pistols only and soft armor.
considering mindjot's crippling financial situation, it could only have been someone rich and deeply invested in what's being hidden on those servers...
As someone whos a security gaurd IRL...... I admire these guys dedication. If any amount of police pulls up to my job, I'll let them handle whatever's going on, no problems asked. I'm not going to die for a paycheck.
@@asovietplaytpus5828 I feel like those guys didn't actually know there was CP being there. I doubt anyone storing CP in a data center would just let employees know this information freely, as all it would take is one whistleblower to ruin everything. I don't think most of the goons in the CP related levels actually know they're helping produce it. I think some might know something shady is going on, but not exactly what it is.
@@truly-oni3945 it’s what I love about this game, it’s not black and white. It’s more of a gray and gray. While there is definite bad people, the normal person working paycheck to paycheck gets caught up in shitx
@@asovietplaytpus5828Not really. They're just private security hired to protect a building, and protecting a building is what they're doing. They most likely had no idea what was being kept on those servers, and if they did, they can still say they didn't and would have plausible deniability. They were prob told someone would come to fuck the place up masquerading as SWAT, and didn't know they were fighting actual law enforcement.
i love the soundtrack of the game, gives me Chemical Brothers vibe (like with Single Serving Jack) and makes me look forward to what other types of suspects we will face, i really like the MINDJOT security forces, pretty cool design and looks (similar to how in SWAT 4 where the Right Wing Militia and North Koreans that resemble the Element Team in gear, weapons and strength)
My headcanon to the suspects is that Voll's regular guards that show up at The Spider and Valley of Dolls just put on some random clothes to cut their link to Voll. Reason being that if Voll would've hired a regular seperate guard detail they wouldn't look so goddamn silly. Their "costumes" just yell "Francis went to Walmart and bought some jumpers, dust masks and motorbike helmets" and I love it!
To be fair the first time i had a fight with theese guys they nearly obliterated me . I was so fckn confused when i sae their gear . Vetter equipped then we were
The beginning of phase 4 almost sounds like your character having a realization. That this is bigger than one creepy streamer. This is a whole operation.
it is so annoying with the new format of soundtracks they don't even show up in the audio extracts or if they do, not all the bits/instruments are present so i can't even botch together a mix i really don't wanna play club and agency with no sound effects just to get the soundtrack uploaded ;___;
@@dozypleng i literally extract every single audio file from the game every update but the kicker is that not every audio file is there it's like VOID can pick and choose what appears, because i've seen the same files get lost or be present over different update cycles all the way from 2019 builds to now
Honestly with how the Voice Overs are just in the game files, it'd be great if they included all the musical files like them as well. Maybe not as wav's though, that'd get pretty big, maybe as like ogg's. Either way, extracting things from the game, period, is kind of a pain in the ass.
When i first played this level and had just cleared thr top floor. Then suddenly guards rudhing up the stairs shooting. Music kicks in. Now we're thr ones under siege.... Fuck.
they don't actually produce the guns, they just host the servers for other people to sell it. think of it like Etsy if they were desperate for cash and allowed anything

Great music for a great game, I felt the same way listening to both tracks.
@@Melons987
...
The music's decent.
The game itself? Not so much to be honest.
@@a.k8185 fair assessment, perhaps not the best overall but I enjoy these sorts of FPS so I have bias and enjoy it personally.
Security guards who shoot at police. You have to at least admire their dedication.
Their asses know whats being kept on those servers. Their asses also know that a fate worse than death awaits them if the police gets their hands on it.
Your comment is genius, in terms of being funny.
Security guards in name only. Insurance from traffickers to protect their assets and keep everyone in line.
The sorry state of the police in Los Suenos has really emboldened every criminal in the city.
@@LeadMetal82 I swear man I-I'm trying my best its just so hard wait nononono we don't have to look at my bodycam footage >_>
Saw these guys for the first time and said, “So that’s what the AP rounds are for…”

As someone who actually works in data centers, I’ve never once seen armed guards. Money is that Amos paid to have security there.

I worked a short gig as an armed guard in a data center. They exist, albeit rarely. The data center I worked at had government servers in it.

Image this is your math test theme 💀 (my nightmare)
The least accurate part of this mission is security jobs actually caring enough to shoot at something
They were told that we’re fake cops. Since they’re on a high payroll with risk of arrest they open fire.
Anyone got some Half-life 1 vibes ? Security Guards vs HECU ?
