F.E.A.R. 2 - Project Origin Soundtrack

[deelon]

Thank you so much! The music in FEAR & Condemned is amazing- that's the real Christmas to get the full soundtrack!

Great work, OrangeC!

It's nice to see that you went with CBR rather than going the VBR route.

Anyone got a rapidshare or any other link? I tried downloading again because i accidentally erased the file (Someone /facepalm me) but it says download limit exceeded even though I havent downloaded anything off of megaupload (in the last 2 days)

[Yurei]

Awesome work! Snakefist is one of my favorite songs, and yeah, Nathan Grigg is definitely a genius. He's working on a song for one of our DLC pieces that I think everyone will really enjoy!

The files have been mirrored on Badongo (http://www.badongo.com). I hate upload sites with limitations like Megaupload.

The archive on Badongo is a 7-zip self-extracting archive that weighs in at ~411 MB. These are the same exact mp3s as originally posted with the exception of the filenames being slightly altered and the ID3v1 and ID3v2 tags having been adjusted accordingly.

Self-extracting 7-zip archive link:

PAR2 file link for verifying the archive:

Windows merger download:

Linux/Unix merger download:

Badongo split the archive into two parts so you need to merge the two files. There will be a link below the links for part 1 and part 2 of the download for merging the split files under Windows or Linux/Unix. The merger files are not rocket science. I strongly recommend everyone scan downloads with their AV although I know for a fact that when the files left my system for upload they were completely clean.

Just have to throw it out that Monolith and Warner Bros. do not support downloading of our soundtrack from unofficial sources. These files may contain viruses that may be harmful to your computer. Download these files at your own risk!

Hey Yurei !

Regarding the soundtrack.. you said that Nathan Grigg is working on a
track for the DLC? Could it be a full version of that choir song in the launch trailer??

I cannot find it anywhere and it wasn't in the game!! it would've made an awesome
epic finale song for the final battle!

Any ideas what happened to this track or if it will be avaiable somehow? I'd be willing
to pay for it damn it! Would make an awesome MP background music
Do you know what song I'm talking about???

This statement and warning is completely understandable and true. Even though I know what I posted was clean when it left my computer I still urge people to scan it for themselves if they happen to download the archive.

Normally I wouldn't post information or a link as I did but since the community leaders have not deemed the availability of the unofficial soundtrack to be against community standards I thought I'd at least mirror the soundtrack somewhere else for those who have problems. If, at some point, the sharing of these files is considered bad or wrong then, obviously, I have no issues with my post being deleted. My goal is to help people.

People should always scan everything they download even from trusted sources. These days you can never be too careful.

[OrangeC]

I turst everyone that it does not contain a virus. I would never do that.

Oh and sweet about grigg working on a song for the DLC.

BTW is the DLC PC also?

I don't know which download you are speaking of but I know that both work. If you have a slower connection then this may be problematic due to the size of the download. Anything slower than DSL will take a bit of time. It took me less than 5 minutes to download the archives without using a download manager.

Some file distribution sites don't work well with download managers especially when they attempt to use multiple download threads. I would suggest either limiting DAP to 1 thread or simply disabling DAP and not using it at all for the download.

Other than what I said above I don't know what more to say. You may simply just have a very bad connection to the sites with the files.

Thanks for making these available! I've always felt that the soundtrack of a game, just like for a film or tv show, is just as important for setting the tone as the visuals and FEAR and of course FEAR 2 have one of the best out there! Just out of interest did you extract these from the FEAR 2 data archives or did you actually record these from the game?

I've got the wav files from the first FEAR extracted from the original archives if anyone is interested. I could whip them up into a soundtrack I'm sure but as most are meant to be looped they are only about a minute long and end abruptly so would probably need some editing to be actually be decent to listen to.

I've been working on that for a while now, but it's very. frikken'. hard.

Not to mention that it gets really boring after a while, too.

I have recorded these from the game because i cannot find any clues as to where the music is in any arch01 archives, and it cant be in that SND file either because its only 140mb. gotta wait until the SDK comes out i guess.

[RomelTheDesertFox]

Can someone upload the files to rapidshare please? I don't like megaupload, or any other site that downloads trojans and adware popups along with the file. It says that megaupload and badango have ads, and they are very intrusive.

[Shmuck]

Hmmm, does anyone have a link to the music used in the Launch Trailer? I know it's not part of the soundtrack, but I'm pretty sure that it's lying around somewhere.

[PlastAh]

i played Alma humming while my brother was sleeping and woke him up, he seem scared for a second, and was like wtf .

thanks again!

Indeed. I had a good poke around in the arch01 files and thought I was just missing something obvious when I couldn't seem to track them down. I suspect that as they seem to be more dynamic than in the original, much more akin to the dynamic music of some of Monolith's earlier work, that they are probably contained within some of the large files in the archives containing the individual level data. After all even the sound effects for the game don't seem to be readily available and they must be somewhere - the only large files left are the ones in the Layer02 - Layer16 archives so I can only deduce they must be hidden inside some of the files in there. Let's hope it's not long 'till the release of the SDK so we can track them all down!

[OrangeC]

They could also be scattered around in the level packages like with the .bndl extension.
