Author	Topic: Call of Duty 3 Soundtrack by Joel Goldsmith

MarkA Standard Userer	Does anyone know if this is available? Sometimes game companies include it with certain preorders or special editions, but so far I haven't seen it.

Dr Know Standard Userer	It IS available in the form of a pressed 20-track cd packaged with specially marked editions of the game at Walmart.

Any gamers here who want to send me the CD? Of course a film music forum would not be the place to find such people.

sean Standard Userer	Sean takes all his Michael Giacchino and Christopher Lennertz "war" game "music" and begins to stomps on them, like they are Dixie Chicks CDs on the eve of the war in Iraq, and bows down to the master and commander of REAL war music: Joel Goldsmith! Hot damn!!! This is one kickin' score! Thanks to the Christmas spirit of the people over at OiNK I can now grab what I want freely without fretting over my pitiful ratio; and there's a rip of Call Of Duty 3 that is just killer! MAN! This is probably my favourite score of 2006... I still have to hear Blood Diamond, but I can't imagine it beating this puppy. The main theme is bold and heroic, evoking one of my favourite themes from one of Jerry Goldsmith's best scores, Patton, and that theme be "The Winter March," or "German March." With a brilliant play on that, Joel goes into heavier heroics that is just mind blowing. The album and action music just keep on rolling as the score continues. I'll probably shell out the 60 smackers for this one. WOW!!! Along with his continually impressive music to Stargate Atlantis and now this Call Of Duty business, Joel Goldsmith is quickly defeating my favourite composers to date. NP: Call Of Duty 3 (Joel Goldsmith) ***/***

Stargate Standard Userer	Joel Goldsmith is one of my favorite up-and-coming composers. More of his music needs to be released (cough... especially his Stargate music). I have Atlantis, but I don't think it matches the themes he built in the original series. What's up with these game and score packages? I doubt much of the gamers want the score and I doubt much of the score listeners want the game. I bet there's now a thousand coasters sitting next to game stations everywhere! If only I could just grab one... Sean, does this beat BSG season two?

Hastaj00 Non-Standard Userer	I haven't read the posts in this forum yet because I'm massively tired and ready to head to the toilet, but I will only say this -- that main theme, motif, if you will, that's repeated endlessly at the title screen... always reminds me of David Newman's 'The Phantom'. Anybody else? By the way, the game is an absolute catastrophe -- multiplayer especially. Call of Duty 2 was brilliant; leave it up to another developer to screw up a good thing.

Demetris Christodoulides Standard Userer	How is it in comparison with the wonderful and dynamic previous 2 scores by Graeme Revell?

Hastaj00 Non-Standard Userer	Bogus. I had no idea Revell wrote music for the first two games.

sean Standard Userer	Stargate, Call Of Duty 3 only beats out Battlestar Galactica Season 2 because Jerry Goldsmith is my favourite composer of all time and his brilliant son, Joel, has done an extraordinary job in paying tribute to one of my favourite scores, Patton, and one of Jerry's best themes ("Winter March") and extended that idea even further... It certainly tops anything he's done on either of the Stargate shows, IMO. Well worth looking into!

Jeron Standard Userer	Y'all are a bunch of 'tards. Revell didn't write the score for Call of Duty 1. That was Michael Giacchino. Revell did part 2. Goldsmith part 3. Merry Christmas. [Message edited by Jeron on 12-24-2006]

Demetris Christodoulides Standard Userer	Yeah my bad, Revell only did no.2. It's called CALL OF DUTY2: BIG RED ONE and it's a bold and really impressive orchestral score. You, Jeron, need some attitude lessons though; if that was a joke i am sorry to say but your humour sucks. [Message edited by Demetris Christodoulides on 12-24-2006]

Holy crap it's one of the best tactical FPS games ever. The score is very Zimmer-esque though, but it suits the sudden moments of intense action. NP> Howard Shore's The Departed (**/***)

Talk about the damn music that kicks the crap outta' anything else in a good long while, not about your pretend WW2 simulators. BTW, Amon Tobin should have scored that Rainbow 6 junk. Anyway, onto cooler thangs like the Call Of Duty 3 score!
