Medal of Honor (soundtrack)

Lore & Background

The music for Medal of Honor was composed by Ramin Djawadi. The official soundtrack was released on September 28, 2010, on iTunes and Amazon, nearly half a month before the release of the game. The soundtrack consists of 20 tracks, including multiple variations of 'The Catalyst'. The song was also released as a promotional single for the soundtrack. A separate video of the song was published, which featured scenes from the game. Themes from the previous game reappear as well, in slightly altered form. An extended version of the soundtrack was released in the Medal of Honor Soundtrack Collection, which contains all of the music in the Medal of Honor franchise released up to that point and was released on March 1, 2011.

Reader's Guide

The Medal of Honor soundtrack, composed by Ramin Djawadi, served as the musical accompaniment for the 2010 first-person shooter game of the same name. Its release on September 28, 2010, predated the game's launch by nearly half a month, allowing players to preview the score. The inclusion of Linkin Park's 'The Catalyst' as the first official single helped promote the game and soundtrack, with a separate video featuring game scenes. The soundtrack's 20 tracks include multiple variations of that song, and it also incorporates altered themes from the previous game in the series. An extended version later appeared in the Medal of Honor Soundtrack Collection, released on March 1, 2011, which compiled all franchise music up to that point. The soundtrack remains a key artifact of the game's marketing and audio identity.
