Hans Zimmer to score Modern Warfare 2
BY Raphael Cua Aug. 28th, 2009 More on:

According to Hollywood Reporter, composer Hans Zimmer will be scoring the soundtrack to Modern Warfare 2. Rumors of Zimmer’s involvement with Activision’s blockbuster first-person shooter arose when his talent agency listed Modern Warfare 2 in his resume yesterday, and now those rumors have been confirmed.

Modern Warfare 2 marks Zimmer’s first videogame project in his distinguished career in composing, where he has composed film scores for epics like Gladiator, The Dark Knight and… Driving Miss Daisy. With his experience in composing these grand films of Roman gladiators, bat-obsessed superheroes and old ladies driven around by Morgan Freeman, Zimmer will be a good fit for Modern Warfare 2, which promises to be larger in scope than its predecessor. Zimmer is taking over Harry Gregson-Williams in composing duties for the sequel to Modern Warfare, which will be released on Nov. 10.

      I’ve known his name for years now but checking out in detail what he’s worked on in the past, Zimmer has one impressive background. I am not at all surprised that such a game as Modern Warfare 2 would be his first videogame project. Just when I though MW2 couldn’t get any better, this comes along… great job getting him Infinity Ward!

      he has made so may memorable scores over the years, particularly things like true romance. he is a great composer and i’m really glad to see him attached to MW2. this will make an already great game even better.

      Not sure how I feel about this. Zimmer’s the man, but I really felt Gregson-Williams’ score for the first Modern Warfare was a perfect fit.
