^^^ Not sure how much of Trent's work is in this since I can't hear any "aggressively sounding guitar rock that incorporates bass and drums", but sure as fuck can't wait to hear it. The way he puts it sounds like a bit of departure from Ghosts and the scores (as Patrick_Nicholas already mentioned).

rodeh,

We haven't seen the game yet. I wouldn't be suprised if TR is wary of it's subject matter, and expects BO II to be different in some meaningful way.

Kudos to the people for pointing out that Activision is the distributor, not the developer. The developer has little to no control over how their shit is marketed, just like any musician signed to a major label.

I think this is looking a little too deeply to be honest we all know Trent likes video games and that's all this is about. As the other guys said I don't know if he ever claimed to be "a left-wing radical"

In regards to what you said in general, the Occupy movement was stupid, they were never really going to achieve much and should have just carried on working and studying to work on creating a better world for themselves in the future rather than squandering their hours on protesting against the most greedy and ignorant people in society.

Furthermore, Bush was a fool every sane person on this planet knew that...All he ever did was provide people like Seth Macfarlane with instant material and the whole NIN being used as torture thing would probably offend any artist to say that their music is torture and I don't think anyone ever wants to be in any way responsible for torturing someone.

Some of what you say about the whole Activision/COD thing is true though but, is Trent aware of that? ...and could he not just be thinking of this as a video game he likes to play being a platform for his music to be heard and for his music to enhance something he enjoys. I personally, don't think it means he agrees with anything Oliver North says or does at all that guy is a slimey dousche, I don't think all of the millions of people who have played the game across the world all think of it in those terms either so maybe Trent doesn't.

Anyway, I'm not trying to rant at you, but, I hope reading everyone's replies will kind of restore your faith a bit and show that Trent doesn't seem to have betrayed any of his ideologies (in my opinion.) though, the fact that he is married and now has kids would probably explain some changes that my occur now and in the future...

ps.The main thing to remember is that we're getting new music (again.)and like HEALTH's awesome new Max Payne 3 Soundtrack I'm not actually going to play the game but, I'm just going to listen to the theme and enjoy it so perhaps looking at it in that sense may be better...

Honestly as this sunk in, I had to say something. I'm pretty disappointed in this move.

Not because he's doing the theme for a CoD game. I've listened to music for games I don't care for before, that's nothing new, and I'm sure his theme will be great. It's also not because he's "selling out" or anything like that.

But it's because in the past TR was quoted saying this.

This was the first thing that came to my mind when i saw the news about COD. I don't really understand. I've rationalized it out (personally) since then.

Really the only rationalization would be that either Trent lied/was misquoted, has changed his mind since then or is doing this ironically and the theme song will end up consisting of fart noises or something and the CoD players won't even notice the difference since they're all listening to Dubstep anyways. Then we'll all have a good laugh.

Would you be as pissed if he did a track for The Dark Knight Rises? It's the same shit. He already did a track for Tomb Raider(the movie), so let's not get all high and mighty.

The Dark Knight is awesome. CoD is rehash. TR once states that rehash was a bad thing. There's a big difference.

There have been eight Batman movies(including TDKR), so how they not rehashes? The COD series sports tweaks on the same themes, just like the Batman movies. They are both currently the most financially successful franchises of their respective mediums. Independent of our personal feelings about them, I think the comparison between franchises is pretty solid.

Batman (1989) through Batman & Robin = seperate franchise with shitty rehashed sequals (a.k.a. milking it).

Batman Begins through The dark Knight Rises = seperate awesome franchise telling a complete story through three movies.

I think you can cross the Batman movie off the list of things you can be okay with Trent scoring, because a SOPA supporter is in it.

And I'm pretty sure NIN still has a Facebook, so do many of you people. [I don't have one, BTW] FB supports CISPA, but TR scored the movie about its creators.


If you're going to disapprove of whatever music projects he may be working on, over controversies associated with things The Man is doing music for, you might as well just play the 7 Degrees of Trent Reznor game in reverse.

how do you know how ultra conservative the game is, have you played it?
Why is it ok for Bane in the new Dark Knight film to be evil and a 'leader of the oppressed masses' (99%) but when Call of Duty has the 99% it is conservative apologists?
war hasn't only been fought by right wingers. Britain was taken into the Iraq war by a supposed left wing government
My brother plays Call of Duty and he has a masters degree in aerospace engineering, I'd wager he's as clever as the majority of people on this board
Obama still hasn't closed down Guantanamo and he's a democrat

Anyway I just don't think things are as black and white as you do trusty panda

EDIT turns out writer of Black Ops 1 & 2 wrote Batman Begins and Dark Knight Rises scripts - so Nolan fanboys have no leg to stand on
