[Contribution] Battlefield 2042 Sound Dump[UPDATED 25/3/2025]

[juliana]

This isn't everything. Most notably VO was omitted due to the labor involved, but it'd also bloat the file size for something I don't think many people care for. If you really want the VO build Frosty Editor 1.0.7.0 and rip all of them yourself.

Some sound containers were also just too large to load or would just crash the editor, it wasn't too common thankfully so most of what you want is here.

Some things to know:
A lot of sounds aren't named properly, so depending on what it is you may have to dig for whatever you're looking for.
Some sounds were dumped in a weird way, so you may find files that sound like they're looping over and over again, but it's actually the variations playing one after another. Use Audacity or something to cut out what you need.

UPDATED WITH YET ANOTHER LINK(25/3/2025)

Ouh nice, thank you for the contribution. I know many people in here have asked for this I think! <3

This is so good thank you i have been wanting this forever

Assuming nothing changed regarding voice-over since what I gathered during the game's launch period, I don't believe that many people will mind not having it for a change (Although I don't know if Michael K. Williams returning as Kimble "Irish" Graves proves to be a desirable exception, especially after his untimely death before the game launched, but I got the impression that no amount of voice talent was going to shine with the writing they were given to work with).

Appreciate the heads-up on the tool you used, as well. Frostbite has done nothing but cause me huge headaches just for trying, never-mind succeeding in my attempts to extract the audio from games on the engine for myself (Although I imagine most of what I was trying to use at the time has largely been rendered obsolete by this point). Maybe sometime in the future, I'll finally get to catch up on current & working techniques for myself (I have been informed of other developments, but I still haven't managed to follow-up on them), especially as Electronic Arts is making it clear that they will only keep Battlefield games commercially available for so long, regardless if they have a single-player that will outlast the shutdown of their multiplayer master servers (Battlefield: Bad Company & Battlefield: Bad Company 2 really didn't deserve that).

This will take me some hours to download & explore for myself and while storage on my end is getting as close to full as it's ever been (I am starting to narrow down some major upgrade options for my needs, but I continue to be agonisingly slow in this & many other related tasks), I should be able to allocate enough to store it all locally. Rehosting for myself will be an ordeal (I still haven't managed to do so for the Battlefield: Bad Company & Battlefield: Bad Company 2 audio extractions that I previously mentioned being provided as I still continue to hope to in the future), but unless I can't otherwise reliably recommend the tool-set to do so instead or somebody else manages to do so, I won't say I'll "never" manage this. I unfortunately cannot really tell you of any better solutions, especially any that are free of charge (I myself have been looking for alternatives to my presently-and-long-used MediaFire, with Icedrive, Internxt & Proton Drive being three options I hope to look into further as MEGA.nz may still present it's limitations for non-registered users downloading files, never-mind hosting them).

Regardless, thank you very much for this!

The link expired so I reuploaded it to a different site. Should stay up a bit longer this time.

[Bizargh]

I have still yet to provide a more permanent reupload for myself for aforementioned limitations, but I know at least three people who are going to be immediately pleased to hear this. Thank you very much once again!

[Hoovytaurus]

i'm not too familiar with what frosty editor gives you, but were there by any chance any sort of metadata files that might show in further detail what files are what? things like the weapon reloads are navigable enough, but the shared gunshot Noise has 900 files, which gets a bit cumbersome to sift through especially if you're not sure about the exact lineup of environment and distance variations.

[Oleg Grindstone]

Link seems to be down again?

[juliana]

Negative. Try typing it again

[juliana]

@Hoovytaurus unfortunately there's no metadata. A lot of the shared assets used to be in separate containers so they'd be named properly, but now they're all thrown into the same one.

They might be ordered properly just unnamed, but I haven't confirmed that yet

[Hoovytaurus]

they're ordered, including close-distant versions of a sound in order if it has them, so it's not completely hopeless, though finding anything specific like the Noise for a field env vs an indoors garage env is. unfortunate, but the rest is still awesome so thanks for the extract!

[VSKS]

Thank you very much! Doyle (X_X), could I please ask you to extract VO files as well, most importantly calls/deaths/screams since you have already have the editor set up. I would do it myself but can´t get access to the editor, I own a legal copy of the game.
I would be using the voice files with BF2042 gameplay videos.

[juliana]

Probably not, sorry. It takes a lot of time to rip everything and I'm not interested in the VO all that much. You can always try your own hand at it though

Using buzzheavier, someone could keep the link alive by starting a download every 30 days right?

My hope is to get this more persistently available via my own MediaFire sometime in the future. This will not happen very quickly as it will take whole days (I'm estimating about 75-80hrs in total) to be able to upload the total package with my available bandwidth, and uploading anything larger than 1GB can be a rather disruptive thing for me to do.

In the meantime, with how often my attempts to download the Buzzheavier package seem to have failed (I nearly succeeded a second try, but I had to cancel it at the final moment), I might be inadvertently extending the life-span of the link if that is indeed how it works.

Although I'd tell you to see if you can get Frosty Tool Suite to extract the audio for yourself (Assuming that you have a copy of Battlefield 2042 to even try), the most recent pre-compiled release was v1.0.6.3, with v1.0.7.0 requiring you to compile it for yourself and the tool's website is presently down (Assuming that it wasn't closed down):

• https://github.com/CadeEvs/FrostyToolsuite

I did pick up a lead on somebody who might have a compile available via a MEGA link in a Dropbox repository, but I can only tell you that it's done nothing to raise any of my alarm bells or otherwise make me believe that it came with anything suspicious (Although absolutely take your own precautions if you wish to proceed at your discretion). Beyond that, I'm basically clueless as I can't even get the .EXE to run, although that's probably due to my outdated Operating System:

Of course, unless you want the game's voice files (For what appeal they might nowadays hold), the kindly provided download link should suffice for the time being.

What?? Of course they have some appeal. Didn't you know they rerecorded all the battlefield 3 and bad company 2 voicelines? They got the original voice actors back to record. Additionally, the 2042 soldier lines from the AI are pretty well done from what I heard too. It's only the specialists that had problems.
