Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 tiene una banda sonora que hará sentir nostalgia a los niños de los 90

Thanks to composer Jack Wall, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 features a music that will bring back nostalgic feelings for every child of the '90s.
The name Call of Duty: Black Ops is certainly familiar to everyone, gamer or not. Call of Duty is a series of historically accurate first-person shooters that take great delight in re-creating actual warfare from World War II. Then, a new turn was taken with the Modern Warfare offshoot series. Taking place in a wacky dystopian future populated by special elite forces and secret operatives, the Black Ops series was Ubisoft's follow-up to the smash hit Splinter Cell games.

Although the original Call of Duty: Black Ops took place during the Cold War in 2010, the third installment of the series sent players to a dystopian future populated by evil scientists and supervillains. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 transports players to the first Gulf War in the early 1990s, the setting for the latest installment.

Reliving the '90s has never been easier than with a pulsating soundtrack that pays homage to the decade. Composer Jack Wall has proven time and again that he can deliver in this regard, as he has composed every Black Ops game since 2012's Black Ops 2.

Por lo general, sus bandas sonoras están muy orquestadas, pero con Black Ops 6, su objetivo era "tender un puente" entre la orquestación cinematográfica del pasado y la realidad de principios de los 90. Los sintetizadores de finales de los 80 se fusionaron con el sonido fresco del grunge temprano para crear el sonido de principios de los 90.

Wall contó con la ayuda de la banda de rock alternativo ROMES, "un Nirvana moderno", para recrear ese sonido. "Raining the Fire", el tema multijugador y una de las muchas canciones de la banda sonora de Black Ops 6, fue coescrita por los dos.

La banda sonora de Black Ops 6 tiene alrededor de 160 minutos de música original compuesta por Wall, que ya había compuesto música para juegos de la serie Black Ops. La campaña para un jugador parece más una experiencia cinematográfica con los restantes, mientras que solo se utilizan veinte para el modo multijugador del juego. Hay dos piezas musicales principales en la banda sonora de cada juego: el tema principal y la pista multijugador.

Wall began his career as a musician before honing in on scoring movies, TV shows, and video games; now, he is a prolific media composer. Wall did his engineering work for such luminaries as legendary producer Nile Rodgers at Skyline Studios in New York City and Boston's Synchro Sound Studios, which was owned by The Cars at the time, before he began his career as a composer. There he worked as a record producer and engineer for artists like Patti Smith, John Cale, David Byrne, and Dr. John.
