The musical rhythm was made entirely from in-game gunshots and artillery SFX. The result - the track sounds like it belongs in the game world, not a layer on top of it.

excited to show even larger explosions and deformation from 6 pounder cannons, 75mm field guns, and heavy artillery - capable of destroying the very mountains within levels and creating entirely new routes for soldiers to traverse.
Valentin praised both large-scale and subtle environmental deformation from grenades and bullets as he stocked up on grenades and flattened entire cliffs, showing our authentic voxel-based terrain deformation system.
“The terrain deformation is very nice… you would think that by this time it would be quite common but it isn’t - not in strategy titles, not in shooters…

Yes! Especially if it each of those pop events had a “tick” sound . Not too loud or long, just a soft and short tick. The sound needs to be short enough to prevent excessively overlapping with itself since you can have 20+ sounds in a second if you move the mouse ver fast.

Your squad is waiting to be executed behind enemy lines. Enter the Gorge, extract your team, and deliver them to safety.
You will be out-numbered 4:1. Hit them from the flank or rear, then disappear before they have a chance to react.
